Chapter 91

Onset

Hu Ouhua's hand, which had been dodging, stopped dodging and allowed Lu Yuetang to hold it. She glanced at him lightly and then moved her gaze to Lu Baiting.

"There is an old poem that says, if love is long-lasting, why should it be day and night? I respect every choice I make, and I believe... Yue Tang's vision is that long-lasting is not measured by time, but by the feelings established between two people, the daily necessities, and the tolerance of each other, whether a long-lasting and harmonious relationship can be established.

Other external factors are just icing on the cake. If you can see through it, you will naturally have no worries. If you can't see through it, no matter how many chips you have, it will not be enough."

She answered Lu Baiting neatly, concisely and rationally.

It reveals her thoughts on gender and marriage...she really doesn't look as green and naive as a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

She seemed to have given the question some serious thought.

Obviously, Lu Baiting was surprised.

He thought he would get a simple "yes or no" answer, or that she would answer in a smooth, flattering and sophisticated way in order to marry into the Lu family...

But she gave an open-ended answer, which made people think about it endlessly.

"Dad, did you hear that? She said she believed in my judgment. Could it be that you, an old father, are also blinded by lard like mom?"

The smile on Lu Yuetang's lips could hardly be suppressed.

Every word he heard was like Hu Ouhua's love for him~~

Thick, deep, and sticky, he was like a bud about to bloom, which instantly opened up when touched by the spring breeze.

It was so smooth that bubbles appeared all over my body.

"Get lost. How can you say that about your own father?" Lu Baiting said disdainfully.

He sighed silently.

"Don't blame your mother for being short-sighted. She was the one who arranged the wives of your eldest brother and second brother, but... she often blames herself and regrets it. Now it's your turn, she wants to find you someone who is not outstanding, a little stupid, and a little ugly, maybe so that you can live a peaceful life." He said faintly.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, both of them are outstanding.

I often think that if I had lowered my sights and chosen a shrew or plain-looking woman, and kept a low profile, my son might have lost his spirit.

"Who is she looking down on?" Lu Yuetang was suddenly a little angry.

Even Huouhua was surprised.

She had always thought that Gu Wanru looked down on her because she came from a small county town, but she never expected that the reason was because she was too outstanding...

For a moment, she was a little amused.

Knock knock.

Liu Mei's voice came from outside the door: "Chief, the food is on the table..."

Lu Baiting stood up slowly.

He glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything more. He invited them to go out for dinner together.

The guests have all taken their seats.

Lu Yuetang pulled Hu Ouhua to sit down in the vacant seat.

"Brother, you are with my sister-in-law, and you didn't even tell me in advance, so I can prepare some gifts for her. I'll give this bracelet that my eldest brother gave me to my sister-in-law, so please don't reject it."

Lu Jingjing came up from behind, holding a string of small and unique Hetian jade pendants in her hand. There were patterns woven with red ropes on them, and they looked brand new.

"Jingjing, this is too expensive, I can't afford it..." Hu Ouhua waved her hands.

Everything from Brother Lu Yuetang is of extraordinary significance.

She really can't bear it.

But Lu Jingjing didn't hesitate. She grabbed Hu Ouhua's hand and put the bracelet on her white and smooth wrist. She smiled and said, "Big brother gave it to me, so naturally I have the final say. I just like you to be my sister-in-law. I really can't stand it if it's someone else."

Especially Yang Jiaojiao, who I see every day.

It's an eyesore just to look at.

After Lu Jingjing's statement, a group of relatives and friends at the table blamed Lu Yuetang: "Yuetang, this is your fault. If we had known that you would bring someone with you, we would have been prepared. Now you don't even have a gift for the meeting."

Lu Yuetang said calmly: "Don't worry, I will bring lotus flowers and go door to door to collect them. Are you afraid that there will be no chance?"

"Hahaha, look at this brat's smug face, it's different."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal. Next time you set a time and take turns coming. No one can be left out. We'll get ready when we get back."

"Yes, don't just talk about it, we are really concerned about it."

From the moment the young couple left the study and went straight to the table, everyone immediately understood the satisfaction in Lu Baiting's eyes. When they looked at Hu Ouhua again, their expressions changed and they became obviously happy.

Grandma Lu held the gifts in her pocket.

She was a little hesitant.

Once she, the head of the family, expressed her views in public, it would be equivalent to fully acknowledging Hu Ouhua as her granddaughter-in-law, but it would also be equivalent to directly announcing that she was going against Wanru...

After much thought, she decided to wait until the banquet was over and find a moment when no one was around to give Hu Ouhua the meeting gift for her grandson's wife.

"Haha, why are you all in such a hurry? There's not even a banquet, but you're making it like a wedding. Today is my mother's birthday. Some people should be more self-conscious and not steal the old lady's limelight." Gu Wanru said in a weird tone.

"Mom—"

As soon as Lu Yuetang opened his mouth, Gu Wanru sneered, "I'll shut up, okay? You all dislike me and wish I would die sooner and be reborn sooner. Can't I just leave?"

After saying that, she lifted her foot and left the table.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward and freezing.

Lu Baiting shook his head, stood up and said, "Okay, let her go and have a rest. She is also tired from organizing this banquet. Let's raise a toast and celebrate my mother's birthday together."

After the toast, relatives and friends came to congratulate Grandma Lu, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Yang Jiaojiao, who was sitting at the table below, saw this scene and felt sad.

She felt increasingly embarrassed about her situation.

So, she also raised her teacup to congratulate Grandma Lu, then turned to look at Lu Yuetang and Hu Ouhua and said, "Brother, I wish you and...sister-in-law a long and happy life together."

Lu Yuetang frowned.

He subconsciously looked at Hu Ouhua, fearing that she would be angry because of such a stupid thing. He held his breath in his chest and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, go eat and drink."

Yang Jiaojiao looked at them deeply, then turned and left.

"Lotus flowers..." Lu Yuetang opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

Hu Ouhua, on the other hand, smiled and took a lotus root from the table and put it in his bowl, saying lightly, "When someone wishes us well, you should thank her, right?"

"Um."

At this moment, Lu Yuetang felt her trust in him, and his heart was like a pool full of water, swaying, and he even felt a little drunk.

He picked up the lotus root and ate it bite by bite, as if he was savoring her feelings for him.

Pleasure, satisfaction.

After eating, Lu Yuetang found that his forehead and armpits were hot. He raised his hand to look at his wrist and saw the black lines were very dark.

not good.

He's having another fit.

In order to prevent Hu Ouhua from seeing his embarrassing scene, Lu Yuetang quickly said to Lu Jingjing: "Jingjing, take your sister-in-law to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy me a bottle of Xifeng wine."

Xifeng wine?

My eldest brother is going to be sick again.

She quickly stood up, took Hu Ouhua's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's go together. My brother likes this Xifeng wine very much. It has a herbal aroma."

"Okay." Hu Ouhua nodded with a smile.
