Xu Junhui frowned after hearing this: "Mom, where did you hear this from? How could Comrade Huang be a bad person? The reason I know her is because she found money and food coupons in the food factory canteen, and she took them directly to return them to our factory."
"If she had even the slightest bad intention, she could have easily taken this large sum of money and the receipts for herself."
Zhang Yumei hesitated for a moment before saying, "I also heard that the girl is very lazy. It is said that she has never even washed her own clothes since she was a child."
"Mom didn't expect you to marry a wife who is extremely hardworking, but you should at least be able to take care of yourself, right?"
"Otherwise, after you get married, I can't be completely unable to help you, and you'll end up taking care of someone else."
“Mom, I have my own hands and feet. I’m not getting married to find someone to help me with chores. Besides, Xu Jingui has only met her once. How do you know if he’s telling the truth or not?”
Xu Junhui looked at Zhang Yumei, who seemed to be deep in thought, and continued to persuade her, "Mom, since you and Dad don't mind that she has met Xu Jingui, let's find some time to have a meal with their family and get to know them better."
"If it's not a good fit, then I'll give up. But if Qinqin isn't that kind of person, then please don't hold a grudge against her. Let's just let things develop freely, okay?"
Zhang Yumei thought about it and realized it was true. She needed to understand it herself; just listening to others was too one-sided.
Looking at Xu Junhui, who was eager to convince him, he also had the mood to tease him: "I can't be sure about that girl's character, but she must be good-looking. Otherwise, how could you be so eager to date someone else after only meeting her twice?"
After saying this, she was satisfied to see that Xu Junhui's ears and face had turned red, so she went back to the kitchen to cook.
......
When Xu Jingui returned from the Chen family's engagement dinner at noon, he had a stern face on his face.
When Xu Daya saw her brother return with a dark face, she quickly took the family's clothes out to wash, afraid that her brother would beat her again to vent his anger.
Lin Chunyan saw Xu Daya leaving with clothes but ignored her. She turned to her and asked with concern, "Jingui, did you suffer at the Chen family's place? I told you that Chen Ermei wasn't a good person, but you still insisted on getting engaged to her."
Xu Jingui said irritably, "They dare to mess with me! It was that Huang Qinqin who actually told those people in the family compound that I was married and had a son, making me lose face in front of the Chen family relatives!"
Lin Chunyan gritted her teeth in anger: "How dare she! We haven't even said anything to her yet! A woman as lazy as her actually has the nerve to come out and look for a partner, who would want to marry her!"
"Just you wait and see, even with your good conditions, she's still not satisfied. She'll only suffer more in the future."
Xu Jingui wholeheartedly agreed with his mother's words: "That's right. Luckily, I wasn't fooled by her, otherwise I would have lost a lot by marrying a lazy woman."
"Mom, don't look down on Chen Ermei too much. Although she's not pretty, she's very hardworking. I've observed her carefully. Once she marries into the family, you can start to enjoy life."
"Anyway, I don't expect her family to help us. As long as she does the housework well and takes good care of our two children, that's enough."
Her words were full of disdain, but it's unclear whether Chen Ermei knew that all the other person wanted was a free nanny.
Lin Chunyan wanted to say something, but the sound of a child crying suddenly came from inside the room, so she couldn't pay attention anymore. Anyway, the engagement was already arranged and the betrothal gifts had been given, so she might as well leave it at that.
Lin Chunyan rushed back to her room, loudly comforting her, "Don't cry, my dear grandson, Grandma's coming right now, don't cry."
Two-year-old Xu Xiaobao was crying loudly with his eyes closed and mouth open in the room. Five-year-old Xu Dabao not only didn't comfort him, but also stared at him with an impatient look.
She even tried to pick up the blanket to cover Xu Xiaobao, but just as she did, Lin Chunyan came in.
Xu Dabao said fiercely in a tone unbecoming of his age, "Grandma, why are you so slow! He's been crying non-stop, it's so noisy!"
"It's all Grandma's fault, Da Bao, don't be angry. Grandma will definitely be faster next time."
"Grandma will make you steamed egg custard today, okay? Da Bao, please forgive Grandma, okay?" Lin Chunyan said to Xu Da Bao with a smile on her face.
Xu Dabao gave a soft "humph": "Fine, but he can't eat it. Only I can eat it."
"Okay, okay, it's just for Da Bao."
After saying that, she quickly picked up Xu Xiaobao and walked out, so as not to upset Xu Dabao again.
Xu Jingui, who was outside, saw Xu Xiaobao crying and reached out to hug him.
"Dad... Daddy... Xiaobao is hungry... hungry." Xu Xiaobao wrapped his chubby little hands around Xu Jingui's neck and rubbed his little face against him.
"Mom, didn't Xiaobao eat anything for lunch?"
"That shouldn't be the case! My baby fell asleep at noon, so I made him a separate bottle of formula. I just saw that the bottle was empty!"
"I'll go take a look!"
When Lin Chunyan returned to the room, she found that the baby bottle was indeed empty. She picked up the bottle and asked Xu Dabao, "Dabao, did you give this bottle of milk to Xiaobao for Grandma?"
Xu Dabao looked around but didn't look at her or say a word.
Seeing his expression, Lin Chunyan knew that Da Bao had probably drunk the milk. Without saying a word, she sighed and left the room.
Seeing Lin Chunyan come out with an empty baby bottle, Xu Jingui asked, "Mom, did you forget to make the formula? I heard the baby's tummy growling."
Lin Chunyan dared not tell the truth, fearing that Xu Jingui would beat Dabao.
Because Xiao Bao's mother died in childbirth shortly after his birth, his family naturally felt more pity for him.
In addition, as Da Bao gets older and starts to remember things, he will throw a tantrum whenever he sees that they are nicer to Xiao Bao, or if Xiao Bao has something that he doesn't.
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, Xu Jingui sometimes realizes that he is being unreasonable and will directly hit him.
Although Lin Chunyan knew that Da Bao's behavior was not good, she always felt that the child was still young and would definitely become more sensible when he grew up.
This time was no different. A hint of guilt flashed in Lin Chunyan's eyes as she smiled and said, "Yes, I got it wrong. I forgot to make the formula. I'll go make it right away. Little Bao, wait for Grandma, okay?"
Xu Xiaobao, who had finally gotten his milk, held the bottle with both hands and sucked hard with his little mouth. He looked so cute as he tried his best that Xu Jingui couldn't help but gently pinch his little cheek.
Xu Xiaobao grunted twice in dissatisfaction, then continued drinking his milk, finishing it in no time.
Having finished eating, Xu Xiaobao pointed to the ground and babbled, wanting to get down.
Xu Jingui put him down on the ground and watched him stagger around with his short legs...
