Liu's mother frowned and glared at Liu Man. Her daughter had gained a lot of weight in the less than three months since she returned, and she knew it was thanks to the Zhao family, but it really was affecting her image! She decided to go back and talk to her silly daughter about it.

She smiled sheepishly at the Zhao family, and Zhao's mother said nonchalantly, "Let's eat and chat at the same time! Don't just sit there, eat your food!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Man ate even more diligently. She wasn't shy at all; she had a good relationship with the Zhao family. She had stayed with them for almost two months when Zhao Aiguo wasn't home, so they were already quite familiar with each other. Besides, her brother Aiguo had said that food is the most important thing for people, and if you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking!

And Zhao Aiguo, the "God of Food," is indeed a seasoned veteran. He is observant and attentive, able to drink with his elders while also accurately discovering what his fiancée wants to eat!

For the engagement, Zhao Dahu gave 666.66 yuan, hoping for a smooth transaction. After the meal, he took the 200 yuan given by Liu's grandparents and the 200 yuan given by Liu's parents, which he had already given at the table. But at the end, he handed all the money to Liu Man, saying, "You keep it!"

Liu Man casually handed it to Zhao's father, saying, "Grandpa, this is our food money!"

This is so stupid it's unbearable to look at. Zhao's parents were both amused and exasperated. "Xiaoman, take it and save it for the two of you to use later!"

Liu Manyi frowned. "But we don't have any money! Grandpa and Grandma spend a lot of money buying groceries!"

Zhao Dahu raised his glass of wine and said with a smile, "Xiaoman, this is for you, keep it for now!" Zhao Aiguo rolled up the money and stuffed it into Liu Man's pocket, saying, "Keep it for your schooling! I'll give you money every month from now on."

Liu Man looked at her family and saw that they all nodded, so she didn't say anything more. In fact, money wasn't important to her. As long as she could be with her patriotic brother and eat Grandpa Zhao's cooking, that was enough for her. She didn't have any other ambitions.

With Zhao Aiguo's major life event settled, the two couldn't help but marvel at how fast time flies. It seems like their little boy is about to get married!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the three days that Xiao Dai and Qi Zhifang had agreed upon were almost up. Sun Yan brought over some health-preserving tea and said, "President Dai! Have some tea!" Xiao Dai grunted in response, not even looking up, and said, "Just put it there!"

Sun Yan opened her mouth as if to say something, but after thinking for a moment, she decided against it and turned to leave. When he was alone, Xiao Dai finished his work and sat there quietly, lost in thought. Around 2 PM, someone arrived—something both unexpected and not surprising…
