Although the light was out, the mother and daughter both found it impossible to fall asleep immediately, as the sound of Mrs. Zhen tossing and turning kept coming from the darkness. Zhen Yu maintained a calm and motionless supine position.
She really didn't mean to say that hurtful comment to her mother! Zhen Yu hadn't even thought that her mother would take the 'lack of gold jewelry' issue to heart!
Indeed, Mrs. Zhen had no gold jewelry. Not a single small ring or earring adorned her.
Since Zhen Yu herself didn't care for such things, she never thought to suggest her mother buy them. Yet, she was keenly aware of what jewelry her mother possessed.
It was nothing more than a couple of pairs of silver earrings and a silver ring. She wore the ring year-round and alternated between the earrings.
On a regular day, Mrs. Zhen would occasionally mention her future plans of buying gold, saving up, and keeping it to pass on to her daughter and daughter-in-law.
