She understood that he was right and finally stopped resisting.

Upon seeing this, Jin Hengyuan immediately put on a pleasant front.

“That’s not how you should put it. Us Chinese people are most particular about etiquette. The etiquette that should be present cannot be abandoned. This isn’t about being pedantic or conservative. It reflects a sense of respect.”

“Of course, I definitely believe that Mom is not snobbish, but there will be others around…”

“What if people ask Mom later on: Who is this person?”

“Mom would answer: This is my new son-in-law.”

“Then, people would say: Aiya, this is the first time this new son-in-law is visiting his mother-in-law. Why didn’t he bring anything? Your family has such a good daughter. Why did she marry such a cheapskate?”

“No matter how much Mom says that she doesn’t care, if she hears too many of such words, it’s inevitable that she’ll bear resentment in her heart towards me, her new son-in-law. At that time, I’m afraid that you’ll also start thinking about stuff that will eventually affect our relationship as a married couple.
