That afternoon, he had his driver take him to the mall to buy things, including some food, drinks, and other necessities for Lü Yazhi, and even a bottle of foreign perfume.
I bought Wen Qiao a piece of jewelry and toys for all three of her children.
They also brought a watch for Shen Jichuan.
When Wen Qiao and Lü Yazhi saw Old Wu's car, the mother and daughter were both dumbfounded.
Wen Qiao glanced at her mother and asked softly, "Didn't you say you were coming tomorrow? Why are you here now?"
Lu Yazhi and her daughter stood in the kitchen, talking quietly as they made tea.
Shen Jichuan also came down from the second floor; he couldn't very well let a commander go upstairs to his bedroom to see him.
The two sat on the sofa, and Wu Yongliang asked Shen Jichuan about his health with concern.
They learned that Shen Jichuan was going to see Commander Hu.
Wu Yongliang immediately said, "You're going to see Lao Hu? What's the matter? I'm on good terms with him. I'll give him a call later."
"By the way, the Huo family has something to do this week. The old lady of the Huo family is not in good health and is thinking of holding a big celebration for her 60th birthday, saying it will bring good luck. Old Hu used to work under Old Master Huo."
"Your health seems fine. You can go directly to Old Hu and talk to him."
Shen Jichuan said, "Old Chief, what I want to talk to Commander Hu about is a private matter, and it's not appropriate to discuss it at the Huo family's residence."
Wu Yongliang: "Then I'll make a call for you. From now on, our relationship will be even closer than before."
Shen Jichuan didn't need to ask any more questions. He just looked at the things that Commander Wu had brought with him on the table—no, now Commander Wu—they were neatly arranged, dozens of them in total.
This is no different from a marriage proposal.
Before Shen Jichuan could finish speaking, he saw his mother-in-law and wife, Wen Qiao, come out together with freshly brewed tea and cut fruit.
Wen Qiao said softly, politely and courteously, "Uncle Wu, I never expected that you and my mother could get to where you are now. I respect and support your relationship."
Wu Yongliang chuckled.
“Xiao Wen, your mother told me that she was worried about you because you haven’t come back from abroad, which is why she hasn’t agreed to my request yet.”
"Now that you're back, it's time to start thinking about your mother and me, don't you think?"
"You all sit down too." Wu Yongliang was kind and approachable, without any airs of a leader.
Wen Qiao sat down next to Shen Jichuan, while Lü Yazhi did not sit down after pouring tea.
“Brother Wu, I will listen to my daughter about my remarriage. You can talk to my daughter.”
Wen Qiao added, "Uncle Wu, I'll have my mom prepare a few of her signature dishes. You can have dinner at my house tonight."
Wu Yongliang couldn't bear to refuse.
He happily agreed on the spot.
Lu Yazhi asked Sister Zhou to keep an eye on the children while she went to the market outside to buy some more vegetables.
Wen Qiao, Shen Jichuan, and Wu Yongliang remained in the living room.
Wu Yongliang's driver is in the yard.
Lü Yazhi also thoughtfully poured the driver a glass of water and brought him a piece of fruit.
Wen Qiao didn't ask any further questions.
She simply asked Wu Yongliang about his daughter.
What is your attitude towards his remarriage?
“Uncle Wu, I am my mother’s only daughter, and she is my only mother. We depend on each other for survival. She hopes that I can live a good life, and I also hope that my mother can live a good life.”
“Grandma Wu, eldest brother Wu, and sister-in-law Wu are all very good people. It is only right that my mother takes care of the Wu family after marrying into it. But the two older sisters in the Wu family have bad tempers. Uncle Wu, you know what kind of temper my mother has. I am also afraid that my mother will be wronged…”
