"Hello." Yin Yang nodded slightly towards the two of them.
As for ng Shaohua, he was a bit embarrassed. He hadn’t expected that the cousin of his fiancée’s family had beco even more attractive in such a short ti.
"There’s no room here for now," Qin Liang ca over and spoke to Su Xiu, whom he hadn’t t before. Yet, Xu Mumu, who said she was her cousin, Qin Liang also greeted with a smile.
"We can wait," ng Shaohua quickly replied.
"Mumu, aren’t you going to eat together?" Qin Liang was taken aback for a mont.
"Eating together is fine, cousin, what do you think?" Xu Mumu said calmly, not bothered at all by Su Xiu’s hostility. After all, she’s just a little girl, and Xu Mumu wasn’t that immature.
"Together then." Su Xiu hesitated for a mont but agreed. There were so many people; how long would they have to wait? The sooner they eat, the sooner they can go sowhere else and play.
Xu Mumu chuckled lightly, watching Su Xiu filled with vigor, she found it sowhat amusing.
"Cousin, is Aunt doing okay?" Xu Mumu asked with a gentle smile. Although Aunt likes to compete with her own mother, she doesn’t really have any bad intentions.
"She’s fine, just the usual," Su Xiu pouted. Her mom spends all day focusing around the house, focusing on her younger brother.
"By the way, how’s Auntie doing? I heard she’s pregnant." Su Xiu still asked about Li Caixia. To be honest, she was really impressed that Li Caixia could still get pregnant, considering that in her family there were only the brother and sister, while Xu Mumu’s family would soon have four siblings.
"Eating and drinking well, if my mom knows you’re concerned about her, she’d definitely be happy," Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"Really?" Su Xiu glanced at Xu Mumu speechlessly. Xu Mumu was speaking nonsense; she knew very well what kind of person her own aunt was.
"Yeah, cousin, when are you and ng planning to get married?" Xu Mumu curiously looked at the two of them. These two should have been dating for a few months now, why aren’t they discussing marriage yet? As people these days, once they find soone suitable, shouldn’t they be able to get married right away?
The question from Xu Mumu made Su Xiu and ng Shaohua a bit stiff.
They naturally want to arrange the marriage soon, but they’re at an impasse due to the dowry issue.
Li Caiyun wants at least one of "three rounds and a sound," plus a place in the county, and a two hundred yuan gift money. Each condition wasn’t easy for ng Shaohua right now; the future mother-in-law is purely making things difficult for him.
Su Xiu found it challenging as well. She was aware of her fiancé’s situation, even his salary, but her mom kept asking for these demands, making her feel like she was being sold as a daughter.
The mother and daughter had argued several tis over the dowry, and in the end, nothing was settled, leaving them at a stalemate.
Xu Mumu: "..." She seed to have touched on a sensitive subject, looking at the sour expressions on their faces.
Sure enough, marriage wasn’t easy at all. Look at these two; could they be having conflicts over wedding issues?
"We’re already preparing for the wedding, and when everything is ready, we’ll definitely invite cousin," Seeing Su Xiu’s gloomy face, ng Shaohua imdiately said, which was considered his assurance to Su Xiu. Although there’s a bit of bitterness inside him, those things are beyond what he, a small worker in a furniture factory, can prepare, and he’d have to discuss properly with the future mother-in-law.
As for the future father-in-law, he’s completely under Li Caiyun’s advice, seeking his help doesn’t work. Prioritizing the son at ho is naturally more important than marrying off the daughter.
What ng Shaohua said sowhat improved Su Xiu’s expression.
"Mumu, there’s a table ready, co quickly, I’ll clean it up for you right away." Thankfully, Qin Liang’s words broke the awkwardness among them.
"Mm, thank you, Uncle," Xu Mumu imdiately thanked Qin Liang with gratitude.
Qin Liang and the others acted swiftly, and a square table was cleaned up in no ti.
"What would you like to eat? Master Yang said he’ll prepare extra for you," Qin Liang whispered to them, as there were still quite a few people in the restaurant, so such words couldn’t be openly spoken out loud.
"Yin Zhiqing, cousin, you choose first, my treat," Xu Mumu said with a smile, as she felt the need to make up for the awkwardness she caused to ng Shaohua and Su Xiu.
"Stir-fried baby cabbage, a stewed pork with icai," Yin Yang casually ordered two dishes.
"No need for you to treat, we brought money," Su Xiu glared at Xu Mumu, then said.
Su Xiu and ng Shaohua chose and ordered two relatively cheap dishes, as these dishes weren’t inexpensive.
Finally, Xu Mumu took the nu and then took out her food box, "Uncle, please pack a portion of braised pork in the food box, I’ll take it to my brother later." Xu Mumu said seriously.
"No problem," Qin Liang nodded with a smile.
This food box was purchased while visiting a state-owned restaurant, passing by a supply and marketing cooperative. It’s aluminum-made. At ho, several younger ones attend school, and her food box has been used for a long ti. With so money in hand, she decided to replace it.
"Aren’t you afraid Aunt will discipline you for ordering so much?" Su Xiu paused for a mont, then looked at Xu Mumu. A box of braised pork wasn’t cheap, much less Yang’s signature dish from a state-owned restaurant.
"My mom won’t mind, she’s given all the at coupons," Xu Mumu said with a smile. It’s mainly because Xu Mumu frequently brings at ho, they don’t need to use the at coupons to buy; Li Caixia simply gave all the at coupons to Xu Mumu.
Su Xiu was wide-eyed. In that instant, she didn’t know how to feel jealous of Xu Mumu. Every ti she asked her mom for sothing, she had to persist for ages before getting it, much less at coupons. The at coupons for Su Xiu eating at were always given by ng Shaohua.
"Wow, are you really that rich?" Yin Yang laughed outright.
"Of course, so don’t worry. I can completely afford to treat you," Xu Mumu said brightly, smiling.
ng Shaohua also fell silent, unsure of what to say. His fiancée’s cousin seed quite impressive, as Su Xiu had told him so about Xu Mumu before, such as earning money, and previously he hadn’t paid much attention, but now he believed it.
As a regular patron of the state-owned restaurant, Master Yang and the others intentionally offered special treatnt, and the dishes were served quickly.
"Wow, it looks really good, Uncle, please thank Master Yang for ," Xu Mumu said happily.
"No problem."
Just within the stewed pork with icai, the amount of at given was quite generous, and the other dishes clearly had extra portions added.
Su Xiu stared blankly at Xu Mumu. Did having an uncle working there provide so many benefits? Compared to the previous tis they ca, this ti the food was definitely the plus version.
"Quick, eat, why are you all just staring?" Xu Mumu looked at them speechlessly, then tucked the food box into her bag, prepared to take it to Xu Minghui later. Her own brother had lost so much weight, she felt a bit heartbroken.
