Chapter 864: The restaurant's consumption level has been raised Unnamed Draft

My aunt's eyes narrowed with laughter. "How can I feel so embarrassed? It's really too much of a expense for my elder sister. But since my elder sister said so, I won't be shy."

She took the menu and flipped through it, saying, "Actually, I'm not that picky about food. I just like to eat something fresh. As long as the ingredients are fresh, it will taste good no matter how you cook it."

Yes, this store specializes in seafood. Fresh seafood tastes delicious no matter how it is cooked. There is nothing wrong with it.

The waiter beside her understood what my aunt said and immediately reminded her considerately, "Beautiful lady, we have an open counter over there with fresh seafood. Would you like to go and keep an eye on it?"

My aunt smiled and replied, "Okay, the real thing does look better. Big sis, do you want to come with us?"

"No, today is a welcome party for you. You and Shuyi can go together. Order some of your favorite dishes." My mother smiled very kindly, without any of her usual aloofness.

My uncle and aunt got up to order food, leaving only my mother and I at the table.

My mother deliberately lowered her voice and said to me, "Mengmeng, don't tell your father about your uncle's car accident today, or he will be embarrassed.

If your dad comes home tomorrow and sees it and asks you about it, just say you rubbed it. Do you hear me?

Mom only has this one younger brother. He’s living like this now. We can’t just stand by and watch without helping him.

Mom knows you're well off now, so you can offer to pay off your uncle's debt later so he doesn't feel embarrassed to ask. You're old enough now, so you should learn to be more sensible."

My mother's words made me feel very uncomfortable. She only has one younger brother, and I am her only daughter. Why can't she learn to take the initiative to think about me?

I feel a little disappointed. Maybe I really have made her worry too little since she was a child, and she has long forgotten how to worry about me.

I once saw a theory that said when you are always nice to someone over time, it becomes a habit, forming something like muscle memory.

In fact, the same is true in reverse. If there is someone who never needs your care, after a long time, you will naturally forget how to treat her well and how to love her.

At that time, this theory was applied to the relationship between husband and wife, but now it seems that the same theory also applies to blood relatives.

Although I had originally thought about paying off my uncle's debt, I still felt uncomfortable when my mother said this.

What do you mean I offered to pay off his debt? If my uncle politely refuses my help, I'll be polite again and insist on helping him.

Later on, it might be that he could have handled it himself, but I was the one who insisted on helping him.

I can spend money, but if it doesn't lead to anything good, I'm not willing to do it. Even if Xiao Shiqiu laughs at me for being stingy, I'm not willing to spend money like this.

"Mom, if my uncle asks me to borrow this money, I can lend it to him, but he needs to write an IOU.

But if he hadn't mentioned it, I certainly wouldn't have offered to help him.

I'm a junior who doesn't even have a job yet, but he didn't say anything and I just coolly gave him over 200,000 yuan. If someone didn't know me, they would think I was showing off in front of my uncle.

I spoke very seriously. Although my mother's face showed disapproval, she was not like before, using her matriarchy to suppress me.

She frowned, "Mengmeng, uncle and we are family, how can you care so much about your own family..."

I interrupted her, "Mom, Dad and I are your family. Uncle is just a relative to me. The only difference between me and Deng Sisi is that Uncle is an elder."

I specifically mentioned Deng Sisi, which made my mother move her lips, then pursed her lips and stopped talking.

I softened my tone and said, "Two hundred thousand isn't a lot, and you can definitely afford it. But didn't you take the initiative to pay off your uncle's debt?"

My mother wanted to argue, but my uncle and aunt came back.

"Sister, we've ordered. I don't know if you have any dietary restrictions, would you like to take a look at the menu?" My aunt smiled politely. My uncle's face looked a little bad, and he lowered his head and said nothing. I was a little curious. Was this a quarrel over stuttering? That couldn't be right.

My mother waved her hand and said very kindly, "No, no, just watch over it."

Even though my mom said that, the waiter still put the printed menu on the table right next to me.

I took a casual glance and saw that the first dish was sashimi. Two and a half kilograms of sashimi cost 880 yuan per kilogram.

It seems that the average consumption here of over 300 yuan as mentioned on the review website is definitely not enough.

The other dishes were basically various seafood, one cold dish and one seasonal vegetable. Four people ordered eight dishes.

I looked at the final price of the dish and it was 3,679 yuan, and they kindly gave me a 5% discount, so the final price was 3,495 yuan.

Very good, 870 per person, the average consumption per person in the restaurant was instantly raised to a higher level by us.

Considering the price of the vegetables, I planned to use my talent of concentrating on eating, but my aunt seemed to be deliberately not letting me eat well, and the topic never left Xiao Shiqiu.

"Mengmeng, how many brothers does your boyfriend have?" She picked up a piece of lobster meat and put it into her mouth slowly, but her eyes were staring at me.

"Just him and his sister," I answered truthfully.

"His sister should be married. I heard that in the north, all property is inherited by the son, is that right?"

I frowned. "His sister got married a long time ago, but I don't know who will inherit his family property. This is his family's business."

There was a trace of calculation in my aunt's eyes, "Mengmeng, you can't be too naive. Your husband's family is so rich. You have to keep an eye on them after you get married. Don't let your married elder sister-in-law come back to fight for the family property.

Aunt, this is for your own good."

I was a little impatient, put down my chopsticks and said lightly: "Aunt, don't say that I haven't married yet, even if I did, it's only right that his sister gets a share of the family property.

Aqiu lost his mother when he was very young, and was raised by his sister. His sister treated her brother Aqiu like her own son, and she treated me well as well as well.

Seeing that I was unhappy, my aunt quickly smiled to cover it up, "I just said that, why are you still unhappy? You haven't even gotten married yet and you're already thinking about your in-laws."

Then he glanced at my mother, sighed, and said jokingly, "Alas, this is what it means when a girl grows up, she can't be kept at home, don't you think, big sister?"

My mother glanced at me and said indifferently, "Your aunt is one of us, so it's normal for her to be concerned about you."

I didn't say anything and picked up another big piece of lobster meat.

When my aunt saw me like this, she didn't continue talking, but just started talking about how her colleagues were planning the future for their children.

"Sister, my colleague's child scored 630 points in the college entrance examination last year, but couldn't even get into a 211 university. The test scores where we are are really too competitive." She sighed as she spoke.
