Chapter 396 Dowry
Zhu Ying had not disclosed this to her parents in advance, so she was not sure about their attitudes. She was worried that Li Dong would be made difficult by his parents, so she politely refused.
"I can go home and tell them by myself. After get off work today, I will bring my uncle and aunt to your place. The environment of that hotel is not very good. It is not good for my uncle and aunt to stay there."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Knowing that Zhu Ying didn't want him to go with her, Li Dong didn't insist. Just as Zhu Ying had just said, he could take his parents to live with him after get off work today.
After hanging up the call with Zhu Ying, Li Dong called his parents to tell them that he would go to their place after get off work.
"We are going to your Uncle Chen's house for dinner tonight."
On the phone, Li's mother was happy to hear that her son would take them to his place after get off work, but she felt a little disappointed when she thought about his previous promise to go to Chen Zhi's house in the evening.
"Then wait until I come over, then you can go to Uncle Chen's house."
Li Dong thought about it and made a decision.
Hearing her son say this, Li's mother readily agreed. If it weren't for Li's father's insistence, she would have long since given up on staying in this hotel. Now that her son wanted to take them to his home, Li's mother couldn't ask for more.
After hanging up the phone with Li Dong, Zhu Ying called home and told Mu Yunzhu that she would be home for dinner tonight.
"When did our Miss Zhu learn it and inform me in advance?"
Hearing Zhu Ying say that she would go home for dinner in the evening, Mu Yunzhu joked on the other end of the phone.
In Mu Yunzhu's impression, Zhu Ying never informed them in advance every time she returned home.
"Mom, I'm not worried that my family hasn't prepared my meal, so I thought of telling you in advance."
Zhu Ying made up an excuse to prevaricate.
There are always food ingredients at home. Even though you came back without saying hello before, you still didn’t go short of food, right?
Mu Yunzhu complained in her heart but did not expose Zhu Ying out loud.
"Your daughter is a little abnormal today." After hanging up the phone, Mu Yunzhu told Zhu Dongpeng her guess, but the other party said that she was overthinking.
Mu Yunzhu snorted at him and stopped talking.
Not long after Zhu Ying called Mu Yunzhu, Zhu Dongpeng received a call from Yun Jin, who said that after she left Zhu Dongpeng's studio a few days ago, she went home and made a pottery piece by herself. She wanted to bring it to Zhu Dongpeng for some guidance.
"Xiao Jin, please bring it here for me to see." Upon hearing Yun Jin say that she made a pottery by herself, Zhu Dongpeng couldn't control his inner enthusiasm and immediately urged Yun Jin.
"Let Xiaojin bring Lele over." Upon hearing that Yunjin was coming home, Mu Yunzhu instructed Zhu Dongpeng.
"Okay!" Mu Yunzhu's voice was so loud that Yun Jin on the other end of the phone could hear it, and she immediately agreed.
An hour later, Yunjin, accompanied by Uncle Zhang, brought Lele to Mu Yunzhu's house.
After handing Lele to Mu Yunzhu, Yun Jin picked up the bag that Uncle Zhang had placed on the table and took out a piece of pottery from it.
"Xiao Jin, you have done so well in such a short time. It's really great. It seems that you are the one who is truly talented in pottery."
After appreciating Yunjin's works, Zhu Dongpeng recalled what he said a few days ago that he wanted Lele to inherit his mantle, and he sighed.
"Uncle, you are too kind." Yun Jin was very happy to be praised by Zhu Dongpeng, the master of ceramics, and she replied modestly.
“It’s really good, but there are still some shortcomings.”
After praising, Zhu Dongpeng pointed out the shortcomings of Yunjin.
After Zhu Dongpeng finished speaking, Yun Jin realized that it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so she said goodbye.
Mu Yunzhu, who was carrying Lele back from the garden, heard that Yunjin was going home and said hurriedly:
"Xiaoying will be back for dinner tonight. Xiaojin, you and Lele will stay here and have dinner before going back."
Upon hearing that Zhu Ying was coming back, Yun Jin agreed to stay and then called Mu Old Madam and Mu Lingfeng to inform them.
"I'll come over after get off work, and we'll go home together after dinner."
When Mu Lingfeng heard that Yun Jin and her daughter were going to have dinner at Mu Yunzhu's house, he immediately expressed his opinion on the phone.
"Xiao Jin, I'll ask the kitchen to help Lele prepare food."
After Yun Jin hung up the phone, Mu Yunzhu asked for her opinion.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll go to the kitchen and talk to the chef."
Knowing that the chef here didn't know Lele's taste, Yunjin took the initiative to ask.
After feeding Lele, Mu Lingfeng and Zhu Ying went home one after another.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."
While eating, Zhu Ying had been thinking about how to start the conversation. After thinking it over, she decided it would be best to be straightforward.
"What's the matter?" Mu Yunzhu glanced at Zhu Dongpeng, as if to say, I told you before that your daughter was not right today, but you didn't believe it.
"I'm in love." Zhu Ying glanced at Mu Lingfeng and his wife who were having fun not far away and spoke.
"You're in a relationship. Who is the other person?" Upon hearing the news, Mu Yunzhu asked the question that parents love to ask most.
"His name is Li Dong. He works at the Municipal Taxation Bureau. Ling Feng and Xiao Jin both know him. Xiao Jin and he are good friends."
Zhu Ying brought Yun Jin out to help Li Dong gain more favorability in front of her parents.
Sure enough, after hearing that Li Dong and Yun Jin were good friends, Mu Yun Zhu was delighted and asked, "Xiao Jin, is what Xiao Ying said true?"
"It's true. Li Dong and I are indeed good friends. He is a very nice person. Sister Zhu Ying will definitely be very happy to be with him."
After saying that, Yun Jin turned her head to look at Mu Lingfeng and asked in a questioning tone: "Lingfeng, do you think I am right?"
Mu Lingfeng saw the warning in Yun Jin's eyes, and he could only say unwillingly:
"Xiao Jin is right. Li Dong is a good man. Apart from his poor family background, he is indeed a good man who can be entrusted with one's life."
"It doesn't matter if the family conditions are a little worse. As long as it can bring happiness to Xiaoying, we won't have any objections."
Mu Yunzhu and Zhu Dongpeng did not care about the fact that Li Dong came from a poor family. What they valued was his character.
"Xiaoying, your mother is right. As long as he is truly good to you, it doesn't matter if his family is a little worse off. When you get married, your mother and I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you and will never let you suffer after marrying him."
Zhu Dongpeng sighed sincerely.
"Dad, you are so good to me!" Zhu Dongpeng's words moved Zhu Ying deeply.
"Isn't it a bit early to talk about marriage now, Xiaoying? When can you bring the person back for us to have a look?"
Hearing Zhu Dongpeng mention marriage at this time, Mu Yunzhu complained about him dissatisfiedly and asked Zhu Ying to bring Li Dong home so that they could see him.
"Li Dong's parents happen to be in Binhai these days. How about I arrange a meeting between our two families?"
Thinking that Li Dong's parents were in Binhai, Zhu Ying asked.
"Okay!" Mu Yunzhu stated on the spot.
A few minutes later, Li Dong, who was visiting Chen Zhi's home with his parents, received a WeChat message from Zhu Ying: Li Dong, my parents want to meet your parents.
After reading the WeChat message, Li Dong looked embarrassed. His father had just agreed for them to be together. Would meeting Zhu Ying's parents so soon affect their future development?
"Xiaodong, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded." Li's father, who was sitting next to Li Dong, noticed that something was wrong with him and asked him rudely in front of everyone at the table.
After Li Dong glanced at the people at the table, he said, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoying's parents want to meet you."
With Chen Zhi and his wife around, Li Dong didn't worry that his father would get angry after hearing what he said.
