When a mainland woman got married, her mother-in-law only gave her a bunch of grape vines as a betrothal gift. Later, when her youngest son got married, her mother-in-law gave her daughter-in-law a car. This made the woman very dissatisfied and angrily brought the jade grape tree to appraise the treasure. Unexpectedly, the expert’s words made her feel ashamed and surprised.

According to comprehensive mainland media reports, the woman’s name is Peng Li (pseudonym), a native of Huai’an, Jiangsu Province. She met her current husband when she was a student in Nanjing. The two hit it off very well when they first met, and they quickly established a relationship. After graduation, Peng Li decided to stay in Nanjing to find a job, so she moved into her husband’s house and started living together in advance. Peng Li also lives with her husband, parents and younger brother. They welcome Peng Li’s arrival, especially her future mother-in-law, who treats Peng Li like her own daughter.

When the two reached the age of marriage, her mother-in-law revealed to Peng Li in advance that she would give her a large betrothal gift, which was guaranteed to satisfy her family, and the woman had been looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, on the day of the engagement, her mother-in-law took out a large gift box in front of everyone, saying it was a betrothal gift for Peng Li. When she opened it, she was stunned to see that it was actually a jade grape tree, which looked a bit old.

Then, the mother-in-law began to introduce to everyone that this was an ancestral treasure in the family. She originally wanted to wait until she was 100 years old to take it out, but she was too satisfied with Peng Li. It would be more meaningful to take it out as a betrothal gift now. In front of everyone, Peng Li said she liked it, but she was disappointed in her heart.

After getting married, Peng Li’s husband and brother were each assigned a set of relocation houses with good location and supporting facilities. Later, her brother-in-law’s brother got married, and her mother-in-law gave her brother and sister a car worth more than 100,000 yuan. Peng Li couldn’t sit still anymore. She had a big fight with her husband when she got home, saying that her mother-in-law was partial. Peng Li always felt uncomfortable, so at the suggestion of her best friend, she went on a treasure appraisal program to see what kind of treasure this jade grape tree was, leaving her without even a commercial apartment.

When they arrived at the show, after careful identification, the expert looked at Peng Li in disbelief and said, “Do you know what kind of treasure this is?” Then he said, “This is a jade carving from the period of Emperor Qianlong. It is worth a lot of money!” Peng Li listened. Finally, he was very surprised and quickly asked how much it was worth. Unexpectedly, the expert’s face immediately turned cold and said, “Look carefully at this jade grape tree. Just the carving of this fruitful tree is already unique. Not to mention its age. Just the color and appearance are top-notch jade.”

After seeing the expert, he still didn’t explain the value. Peng Li was a little anxious and continued to ask questions. The expert couldn’t help but said, “Let me tell you! This jade stone is conservatively estimated to cost hundreds of thousands! It’s no worse than your sister-in-law’s car that costs 100,000 yuan! I just don’t understand. Are you after their money or their people? So Even if you don’t know the goods, it’s really informative!” The expert’s words caused the audience to burst into warm applause. Peng Li looked a little ugly and quickly explained that she was just curious and had no intention of taking action, and then hurriedly left the venue.
