Little Beauty's pearls were precious treasures by any measure.

Zhao Lei tightened the drawstring.
He still wouldn't sell them.
"You—"
The old man was about to blow up at Zhao Lei's silence, but the old woman stopped him.
"Old man."
"I'll talk to him."
"Don't say a word."
"With a temper like yours, even if Lei Lei was going to agree, you'd make him change his mind."
"When did he ever say he was going to agree..."
The old man grumbled, but he really did move aside a little so the old woman could speak.
"Lei Lei."
The old woman's gentle voice came through. "How about this..."
"Just consider the money a loan from Xiao Feng."
"What do you mean, a loan?"
"We're family. Why make such a clear distinction..."
The old man muttered under his breath.
The old woman shot him a look.
The old man fell silent.
"You know, Xiao Feng got into a good company, and his boss likes him a lot."
Their grandson's success had always made the two old people quite proud.

The girl he liked was wonderful, and they were very pleased with her too.

Every parent thought the world of their own child.
Being looked down on didn't feel good at all.
But their grandson was marrying the girl, so the girl was what mattered most.
They could tell she truly liked their grandson, and didn't look down on him
