Chapter 2517 Misunderstanding
Zhou Ligu interrupted, "Actually, Second Brother wanted to make things clear, but the young lady from the Jing family didn't take the initiative to speak, so Second Brother didn't want to say too much. What if he got carried away? The young lady from the Jing family wouldn't look good either, so he just avoided it. After thinking about it a few times, the young lady from the Jing family understood."
Manbao was thoughtful, "Strange, why didn't Mr. Jing stop the young lady of the Jing family?"
Zhou Lixue and others spread their hands together, who knows?
This is exactly what puzzles them the most. Logically speaking, Mr. Jing didn't like Zhou Liwei before he got engaged. Now that Zhou Liwei is engaged, Mr. Jing should look down on him even more.
Zhou Liwei walked Lan Xin back to the door of the Lan family's house, then handed her the basket and said, "Come in quickly, the food is getting cold."
Lan Xin nodded with a red face, took two steps with the basket and couldn't help looking back. Seeing Zhou Liwei still standing there looking at her, she smiled and pushed the door open to go in.
Zhou Liwei turned and left only after seeing her close the door.
Lan Xin hid at the door and watched quietly. When she saw him leave, she peeked out quietly. She didn't close the half-open door until he passed by Jing's door and walked away.
She turned around with a smile, holding the basket, and as she turned around, she saw a dark figure standing behind her. She was startled and the basket in her hand almost flew out.
Shadow said darkly, "Don't drop it. This is my dish to go with the wine. Well, is your excuse this time that I want to drink or your eldest brother wants to drink? Or that there are guests at home who want to drink? You can't say it's your uncle who wants to drink, right?"
Lan Xin couldn't help stamping her feet, "Dad!"
Shadow snorted and turned around, unable to help but mutter, "We keep running around asking for food every other day. If someone didn't know us, they'd think we were very poor."
After walking a few steps, the light in the main hall came out, and several children in the room ran out and circled around Lan Xin, "Auntie, it smells so good, so good."
Mrs. Lan smiled and took the basket. She opened it and was surprised to see the dishes inside. "Why did you order so many dishes?"
Lan Xin said embarrassedly: "I can't refuse."
At that time, she was busy thinking about something, and when she came to her senses, Zhou Liulang had already made a move. She couldn't change her words and say no, otherwise she would seem petty in the eyes of the Zhou family.
Lan's mother took a look and said, "Put it away. We've already had dinner. Why take it out now? We can heat it up for lunch tomorrow."
The two children were still tugging at the table and refusing to leave, so Lan Xin said, "The steamed meat is still hot. Give them some and put the rest away."
Lan's mother glanced at the two children who were staring at her eager eyes, and finally nodded.
Mrs. Lan took out a bowl for the two children and took the rest to the kitchen. She also pulled Lan Xin over and asked quietly, "Did they go to the Jing family?"
Lan Xin nodded.
Mrs. Lan snorted coldly, "It's not that I'm being harsh, but this lady from the Jing family is really rude. It might have been fine before Zhou Liwei got engaged, but now that he's our son-in-law, why is she still looking at him like that?"
Lan Xin frowned and whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't say anything. It's okay for us to know about this. Don't tell mother and brother."
"Don't worry, I won't tell. But," Mrs. Lan lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think Zhou Liwei still has that intention?"
Lan Xin thought about it and shook her head. "When I went there, he was upstairs. Sister Jing had just come out at that time. It didn't look like they were going to meet."
"You still have to be careful." She knew that Zhou Liwei had given an extra piece of meat to the eldest lady of the Jing family before.
Manbao returned home and couldn't figure out why Mr. Jing didn't stop Miss Jing. "Is it really that our steamed meat is so delicious?"
It’s really because their steamed meat is so delicious.
Miss Jing took the steamed meat home, and Mr. Jing and his friends drank wine, ate meat, and talked about poetry.
Miss Jing quietly returned to her room.
Mother Jing glanced at her closed door, and after the guests left, she said to Mr. Jing, "From now on, if you want steamed meat, ask Dalang to buy it. Don't ask me to do that."
Mr. Jing took off his shoes and soaked his feet. After hearing this, he thought about it and nodded, "Okay, it's cold now, it's not safe for a girl to go out."
Jing's mother put his socks away without saying anything.
Mr. Jing soaked for a while and felt something was wrong. He asked her, "What's wrong? Are you tired of walking back and forth?"
"No, I was thinking that the restaurant is bustling with people, and Auntie is about to get married. You know, the waiter boss of Zhouji Restaurant used to have a crush on Auntie."
"But isn't he engaged?" Mr. Jing said nonchalantly, "Besides, Auntie doesn't like him either. I didn't let you go before because I saw he was always adding more meat to our family. Now that he's engaged, all the past is over, so naturally we can come as we please."
But your daughter doesn't think so.
Jing's mother was very worried. She was only in her thirties and spent most of her time at home, so she was the first to notice the changes in her daughter.
This child is good in everything except that she likes to compete with the eldest lady of the Lan family across the street for everything. Originally, she was indifferent to Zhou Liwei, but after he got engaged to the eldest lady of the Lan family, she started to visit Zhou Ji Restaurant more frequently.
Zhou Liwei was also worried. He felt that he was still a little stupid, so he couldn't figure out many problems.
He felt that he was not much different now than he was two years ago, except that he was a little older.
But the young lady didn’t like him two years ago, so why would she like him two years later?
Well, he thought he was attracted to him, but could he have misunderstood? He couldn't be so narcissistic, could he?
Zhou Liwei fell into self-doubt.
Manbao, who was already lying in bed, suddenly sat up from the bed, patted Bai Shan and said, "I know!"
Bai Shan was about to fall asleep, but she startled him awake. He stared at her with wide eyes, "What did you know?"
Manbao's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Could it be that because I came back and was crowned the village chief, my nephews' market value has also risen?"
Bai Shan said dreamily, "Maybe?"
Manbao said, "Then tell me, can we introduce Lixue (three-headed) and Ligu (four-headed) to the wives of scholars?"
She said, "If my eldest brother and his wife and my third brother and his wife were squatting in the restaurant looking for relatives, how long would it take them to find one?"
Bai Shan pulled her to lie on the bed, hugged her with one arm, and said, "You are right, so let's think about it tomorrow. Let's go to bed first."
Manbao felt that he was very energetic. Seeing that his eyes were about to close, he did not disturb him. He lay there quietly thinking and took stock of the girls he knew who came from ordinary families of scholars.
The main reason is that Zhou Lixue and the others don't seem to want to get engaged. With the precedent of the sixth brother, I'm afraid they won't succumb to the clutches of the eldest brother and his wife and the third brother and his wife.
Manbao: Ziqian, ah Ziqian
See you tomorrow
