Cui Hua's expression was also complicated and hard to describe. She had always thought of herself as a city person, living a much better life than her husband's older brother in the countryside. In the past, although she was not very willing to come back, she still came with a sense of superiority. So what if her uncle had a good job? He was still stuck in a small place his whole life and had never seen the world.

In the past, Tang Yuanzhou would send her family local specialties every year during festivals, and she would eat them while complaining that only a country bumpkin would send such worthless things from so far away.

Tang Xinxin dropped out of school early to get married and later divorced. Back then, Cui Hua secretly rejoiced a lot. After all, as an aunt, she couldn't show her gloating on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart. It was as if the worse Tang Yuanzhou's family was doing, the more it would highlight that Cui Hua was doing better than others, even though she could only marry into the family.

Tang Xiaoxiao got into a mediocre undergraduate university, so Cui Hua often told Tang Qianqian that she must get into a better school than Tang Xiaoxiao.

Tang Qianqian had always been quite ambitious, and she did indeed get into a top university two years ago. However, by then, her family had broken ties with Tang Yuanzhou's family, and Tang Yuanzhou's family didn't even attend Tang Qianqian's graduation banquet. She couldn't call or go directly to them to show off anymore, so she lost a lot of fun.

This time, Tang Qianqian finally got her study abroad qualification. Because her family didn't have much savings, they couldn't come up with that much money all at once. Cui Hua immediately thought of her husband's older brother, Tang Yuanzhou.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she had to say that Tang Yuanzhou's company had exceptionally good benefits. Tang Yuanzhou's salary alone was more than the combined salary of the two of them. Her family had spent a lot of money on their daughter's upbringing and they were also extravagant spenders, so they couldn't save a penny. But Tang Yuanzhou could definitely come up with that amount of money.

Borrowing money from others is a shameful thing, and Cui Hua was reluctant to do it. Besides, borrowed money always has to be repaid, and there might even be interest added. Considering how generous Tang Yuanzhou had been to their family in the past, how could the eldest uncle not show any appreciation for his eldest niece's study abroad? Perhaps they could simply not ask them to repay the money.

With their own little scheme in mind, and knowing they couldn't let money slip by, the couple discussed it and then made a phone call, arriving at each other's homes as if nothing had happened.

Unexpectedly, they were so shocked upon arriving at the destination that they became hesitant. The couple spent a long time trying to find a suitable opportunity to bring up the matter of borrowing money.

Apart from Tang Xiaoxiao, Tang Yuanzhou's family did not know their true purpose for coming. Seeing that they did not get to the point, they did not ask and just chatted with them.

Tang Xiaoxiao knew the reason, but she didn't want to say anything more.

After chatting about pointless nonsense for over an hour, the meat stewing in the pot was ready.

Tang Xiaoxiao got up and went to the kitchen. After lifting the pot lid, she was tempted by the aroma wafting out and wanted to swallow her saliva. She couldn't wait to add some salt, turn off the firewood, scoop out more than half of the meat from the pot, put it into a super large bone china bowl, and put it on the table.

The aroma of meat filled the living room. Tang Yuanzhou stood up and said, "Let's eat first. It's Xiaoxiao's birthday today, let's celebrate together."

Everyone got up and sat down at the dining table. Tang Yuanxu's family couldn't help but take another look at the very advanced kitchen, especially the big iron pot. Cui Hua and Tang Qianqian had always lived in the city and had never seen such a thing in real life. Only Tang Yuanxu knew that his family had such a big pot when he was a child. They used it to cook rice and vegetables. At that time, his family was poor and they didn't have much good food. The golden-brown rice crust stuck to the bottom of the pot was the most delicious snack in his childhood.

Because he was the youngest child in the family, his older brothers and sisters always gave way to him, and the biggest and most delicious piece of food was always his.
