After time travel, share a space with your modern family.
Chapter 203 Choosing Gifts
The Qiao family members embraced and wept for a long time before finally calming down.
Qiao Tinghao asked his parents to sit on the sofa, and then solemnly introduced Ruan Mumu to them: "Dad, Mom, this is Ruan Mumu, my savior over there. If it weren't for her, you would never have seen me again."
Qiao Zhensheng and Ding Lan had just sat down when they stood up again and said to Ruan Mumu, "Thank you, Mumu, for saving our Hao'er."
After saying that, he wanted to give Ruan Mumu a deep bow, but Ruan Mumu reached out and stopped him.
Ruan Mumu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle Qiao, Aunt Ding, you don't need to be so polite. I just helped out casually. I didn't expect it would be to save my senior brother."
Ding Lan took Ruan Mumu's hand and said, "You'll have to take good care of Hao'er over there from now on. Auntie doesn't have much to give you, but this is a bracelet that our Qiao family has passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law. I'll give it to you today."
After Ding Lan finished speaking, she took off the bracelet on her hand and put it on Ruan Mumu's hand.
"Auntie, I can't take it, I really can't take it," Ruan Mumu said as she refused, then looked at Qiao Tinghao for help.
Qiao Tinghao smiled and gestured for her to accept it, then whispered in her ear, "My mom has accepted you as our Qiao family's daughter-in-law."
Upon hearing Qiao Tinghao's words, Ruan Mumu's face flushed red.
They had no choice but to accept the bracelet, going along with Mrs. Qiao's wishes.
The Ruan family saw this but didn't say anything; they just smiled secretly.
To avoid making Ruan Mumu feel awkward, Zhang Yufang took the initiative to bring up the topic, saying, "Mumu! Your relatives over there can come in too, why don't you bring them along so everyone can meet and chat?"
"Yes, Hao'er, are your family members easy to get along with?" Ding Lan asked.
When they met each other's parents, they were both asked this question, and suddenly they felt the urge to confide in each other.
"It's a long story..." Ruan Mumu began.
"You little rascal, you're keeping me in suspense again." Grandma was a bit impatient and wanted to know how Ruan Mumu was getting along with her family over there. Seeing that she wasn't in a hurry to get to the point, she couldn't help but laugh and scold her.
“Grandma, the story is long, we need to tell it slowly, otherwise you’ll miss a lot of exciting things!” Ruan Mumu sat down next to her grandmother and put her arm around her shoulder.
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, your sister-in-law is also very curious to know how you are doing over there!" Liao Jiaqi chimed in, joining in the fun.
Ruan Mumu stopped keeping everyone in suspense and tried to explain the events of the past six months in a concise yet detailed manner, which the audience listened to with great interest.
Upon hearing that Qiao Tinghao had been switched by strangers but thankfully returned to his biological mother, Ding Lan couldn't help but complain, "What kind of mother is this?! How could she do something like this?"
"It just goes to show that life in wealthy families in ancient times wasn't easy either; otherwise, why would they be willing to switch their own daughters with someone else?" Zhang Yufang said with a sigh.
Qiao Zhensheng patted Qiao Tinghao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Hao'er, don't blame your family over there. Everyone has their own difficulties."
Qiao Tinghao said, "Dad, don't worry! I know what to do."
Ruan Mumu suddenly remembered the space upgrade and looked at Ruan Haohao, asking, "Big brother, did you pay for the space system upgrade?"
Ruan Haohao nodded with a smile.
"Brother, if you have money, save more for your wife and children. How can you just let the Purple Elf waste it?" Ruan Mumu said reproachfully.
She wasn't blaming her older brother for being nosy, but rather she was worried that he had spent so much money.
"You silly girl, it's not easy for you and Tinghao over there. If the system is upgraded to a higher level, your safety will be better guaranteed!" Liao Jiaqi chimed in.
"Sister-in-law, you and the child will have many more expenses in the future!" Ruan Mumu's voice softened considerably.
Zhang Yufang pulled Ruan Mumu to sit next to her, tapped her forehead and said, "Your older brother and sister-in-law are so worried about you. Since you're afraid they'll spend money, just give them a few more antiques. You can easily sell them and that'll be enough to support your child."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Ruan Mumu immediately took action.
He immediately stood up and loudly announced, "Mom is right! Let's go, everyone, let's go look at antiques now and pick out some things for my nephew and niece to earn money for milk powder."
After saying that, he took the lead and went up to the second floor of the virtual space.
When everyone saw the dazzling array of jewelry and antiques on the shelves, they couldn't help but gasp.
"Mumu, you've collected quite a few treasures again!" Ruan Haohao exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, after the last battle, the emperor of Beisheng gave me some more rewards, and then that prince, oh no, now he's the future emperor, he also gave me some gold and silver jewelry," Ruan Mumu said with a chuckle.
Qiao Zhensheng and Ding Lan were quite taken aback when they saw so much jewelry and gold for the first time.
"I was worried that you wouldn't have a good time over there, but now it seems I don't need to worry about you anymore," Ding Lan said with a smile.
Ruan Mumu looked at Ding Lan, stood next to her, hugged her arm, and said with a grin, "Aunt Ding, you can't be lazy even in modern times!"
Some things we didn't even have in ancient times. We no longer have a problem with food and clothing, but if we want to establish ourselves, we still need your help!
"Mumu, you can just lie there from now on! If you need anything, just tell your older brother and he'll prepare it for you," Liao Jiaqi said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I guess you shouldn't be daydreaming about lying low for the next few years. There will be many more things you'll need your brother and Uncle Qiao's help with in the future. The world is unstable these days, and there are probably still many battles to fight," Ruan Mumu said with a sigh.
"Mumu, you little brat, you're too brave! Are you going to go with them to a war?" Grandma asked anxiously from the side.
Seeing her grandmother's anxious expression warmed her heart, but to reassure her, she still said, "Grandma, I'll stay by Tinghao's side."
"Hao'er, you need to take good care of Mumu over there. After all, little girls need to be pampered as they grow up," Ding Lan nudged her son, who had been standing silently to the side, and instructed him.
Qiao Tinghao nodded and assured her, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her."
Ruan Mumu and the others did not hear the mother and son's quiet conversation.
Ruan Mumu called for everyone to come forward and choose their favorite gifts, but no one wanted to.
"Mumu, we don't need to choose. You guys will have a greater use for them," Ding Lan said.
“Auntie, your son also has a share in these things. Since he’s not around to take care of you, you need to be financially well-off so we can feel more at ease,” Ruan Mumu advised.
After saying that, he turned to Qiao Tinghao and said, "It seems they are unwilling to choose for themselves. As their son, you should make the decision for them!"
Without saying a word, Qiao Tinghao went and picked out several pieces of expensive jewelry.
The others, not wanting to disappoint Ruan Mumu, were all carefully selecting their items.
Suddenly, a sound of "Ouch!" rang out, followed by Ruan Haohao's startled cry: "Qiqi, what's wrong?"
