Xu Qianrou looked at Xu Qianjiao's back viciously, and a vicious plan came to her mind.
She restrained her expression, suppressed the anger in her heart, and looked at Song Ziming with a forced smile, "Song Zhiqing, let's go in."
After saying that, he forcibly dragged Song Ziming into the Xu family.
Grandma Xu was standing in the yard, holding a bowl of braised food. Seeing this, Xu Qianrou said disdainfully, "Grandma, what is this? It's so dirty, how can you eat it? Throw it away. Didn't Dad buy pork belly yesterday? Let's eat that."
Grandma Xu looked at Xu Qianrou's pretentious appearance and rolled her eyes in silence, but she still said cooperatively, "This was sent by the second wife. They are also kind-hearted. Don't waste it."
She didn't know whether this decision was right or not, but since she had already started, there was no turning back and she had to keep going.
She didn't know whether what Xu Qianrou said was true, or whether Song Ziming's family was really powerful, but it didn't matter. If it wasn't true, they would only lose a granddaughter. If it was true, it would benefit the whole family. Just based on this tiny opportunity, she was willing to cooperate with her.
Xu Qianrou's eyes flashed with disdain, but her face was indeed gentle. "That's true. It's not easy for my second uncle's family to send some pig offal. How about this, Grandma, aren't we having meat tonight? Invite my second uncle's family to come and eat together, so they can have a taste of meat too."
Grandma Xu had no objection to this at all. After all, the money was given by the eldest son, and the idea of calling the second son was also Xu Qianrou's. It had nothing to do with her. When the eldest son's wife made a fuss, Xu Qianrou would just have to solve it.
She nodded and said, "Okay, then go tell your second uncle and the others later."
"Okay, I'll go later."
Xu Qianrou turned around and looked at Song Ziming tenderly, "Song Zhiqing, please wait for me at home for a while. I'll go tell my second uncle and the others."
Song Ziming was a little tempted, "I'll go with you."
He wanted to take another look at Xu Qianjiao. He always felt that she was different from before, more beautiful and lively. She used to be like a beautiful wooden beauty, beautiful but boring.
But now she is so beautiful, fresh and lively that people can't take their eyes off her.
Xu Qianrou listened to him and looked at him intently, trying to see what he was thinking from his eyes. Song Ziming's heart skipped a beat when he was looked at. He avoided Xu Qianrou's gaze and said a little unnaturally: "I just want to accompany you and stick with you."
Although Xu Qianrou knew that what he said was not true, she still pretended to be happy and said, "Is that so? Then let's go together."
After saying that, she walked out the door first, and Song Ziming followed closely behind her.
The second room was right next to the main room, and it only took a few minutes to get there. Xu Qianrou saw Xu's mother in the room, and she walked into the room without knocking, "Second Aunt."
Xu's mother was sitting on the kang sewing clothes. When she heard the sound and looked up, she saw Xu Qianrou and Song Ziming standing at the door. She was a little confused, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Xu's mother had a calm expression on her face, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
She really couldn't smile at Xu Qianrou. When she saw her, she thought of the grievances her own Jiaojiao had suffered. Her heart was filled with rage and she wished to tear her to pieces.
Xu Qianrou looked at Xu's mother with a smile and said proudly, "Second Aunt, come to our house for dinner tonight. We're having braised pork and chicken soup. You haven't had meat for a long time, right? Come and eat together."
When Xu's mother heard her words, she rolled her eyes in her heart. Who said they hadn't eaten meat for a long time? Now they eat meat every day and are tired of it. They just keep a low profile.
What a country bumpkin, making such a fuss over eating meat.
"Don't be polite. It's not easy for you to eat meat once. We won't join in the fun." Mother Xu said while sewing clothes without raising her head.
Seeing her like this, Xu Qianrou couldn't help but feel annoyed. She was so shameless. She invited them to eat meat, but they ignored her. If it wasn't for the implementation of my plan, I wouldn't have bothered to invite them.
"Oh, Second Aunt, come on, it's settled. I'll cook your meal tonight and let our two families get together. By the way, call Cheng Jiawen too. It will be more lively with more people." After Xu Qianrou finished speaking, she pulled Song Ziming and ran away without giving Xu's mother time to react.
Mother Xu frowned. She really didn't understand Xu Qianrou's thoughts. In this day and age, when food is so precious, there are still people rushing to treat others to a meal? It's really strange.
But no matter what, if you eat for free, you are making money, so it would be a waste if you don’t.
Thinking of this, Xu's mother felt relieved. She hummed a song and prepared to go out to find Xu's father and tell Cheng Jiawen the news.
-------------------------------------
Winter nights always come early. As soon as the sun sets, the sky is already stained with a light night color. As time goes by, the night becomes darker and darker, and the whole world seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil.
Xu's mother looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time. She stood in the yard and called out to the two of them, "Are you two ready?"
"Here I come~" Xu Qianjiao wore thick clothes, a hat, scarf and gloves, and wrapped herself tightly.
She rubbed her hands and said kindly, "Phew, it's so cold. It's really much colder at night than during the day. Why do you think uncle and his family are going through so much trouble to have us come over for dinner?"
Mother Xu spread her hands and said, "I don't know either. Xu Qianrou came to my house at noon and told me, then she ran away."
"She came here, what good intentions could she have? It seems like tonight is a Hongmen Banquet." Xu Qianjiao waved her hand and said playfully.
Mother Xu bent her fingers and tapped Xu Qianjiao's head. "You know it's the Hongmen Feast, so be careful tonight. Don't fall into her trap, okay?"
"I know. I'm so smart that I won't fall into her trap. Don't worry." Xu Qianjiao said with a cocky look on her face.
Hearing her self-praise, Father Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He looked at her playfully and couldn't help but teasing her, "Ah, right, right, you're so smart, yet she pushed you into this before."
Xu Qianjiao's face turned red when she was told that. She ran to hit him in anger and said, "Dad, you're going too far. How can you say that to me?"
"Hahaha, isn't what I said the truth?" Father Xu continued fearlessly while dodging Xu Qianjiao's fist.
Xu Qianjiao stood there, pointing at Xu's father angrily, "Mom, look at him."
Xu's mother glared at Xu's father, who immediately put away his playful smile and said seriously, "Yes, Jiaojiao is very smart. I will definitely not fall for her tricks again."
After saying that, he nodded seriously.
Xu Qianjiao rolled her eyes at Xu's father and ignored him. Seeing this, Xu's mother looked outside the door and asked, "Why hasn't Jiawen come yet?"
