Back in front of Lu Siyao, Lu Siyao was very happy to see that Liu Xiaoyuan had returned safely.
"Xiao Yuan, where is that old man?" Lu Siyao asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Oh, that old woman is gone. Everything's alright now. Everyone can go home."
Although Lu Siyao felt there was something wrong with the matter, she didn't ask. After everyone left, Lu Siyao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Xiaoyuan, what exactly happened?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Siyao, to tell you the truth, that old woman isn't human, she's a weasel, and her grandson is the same weasel that stole the villager's ox last time."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Lu Siyao was completely astonished. She never expected that the old man was actually a weasel. This was something Lu Siyao never imagined.
"Xiao Yuan, are you serious? This weasel can actually take on the appearance of a human?" Lu Siyao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with an incredulous expression. In Lu Siyao's opinion, this was hard for her to believe.
“Siyao, these weasels have all cultivated into spirits, so it’s not strange at all that they can turn into human form. By the way, Siyao, you absolutely must not tell anyone about this, understand?” Liu Xiaoyuan instructed Lu Siyao.
"Don't worry, Xiao Yuan, I know that." Lu Siyao nodded with a smile.
"Alright, let's go back." Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and walked hand in hand with Lu Siyao out of the village.
The two walked hand in hand along the country road, talking and expressing their love, making onlookers envious.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived in town. It was lunchtime, and Liu Xiaoyuan invited Lu Siyao to have lunch.
Liu Xiaoyuan took Lu Siyao to eat at Wang Qing's workplace, because the food at Huaqiang Hotel was quite good, and Liu Xiaoyuan had been the general manager of Huaqiang Hotel for a while.
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan arrive with Lu Siyao, Wang Qing quickly received the news and immediately came over, smiling as she said, "General Manager, you've brought your girlfriend to dinner again."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Don't call me general manager anymore. I'm not the general manager anymore. You are the general manager now."
"What would you like to eat? General Manager, please. The meal is on the house today," Wang Qing said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao casually ordered two dishes, not wanting to waste food; two dishes were enough for the two of them.
"General Manager, two dishes are too few. Wait a moment, I'll give you a complimentary pork rib and corn soup," Wang Qing said with a smile.
Soon, the dishes were served, and Lu Siyao was also a little hungry. After all, being a police officer is a tough job, and going on duty is also physically demanding.
"Siyao, eat more if you're hungry. Here, have a piece of pork rib. Don't worry, it's lean meat, it won't make you gain weight." Liu Xiaoyuan thoughtfully put a piece of pork rib into Lu Siyao's bowl.
When Lu Siyao saw Liu Xiaoyuan serving her food, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
The two of them ate lunch for more than an hour. After they finished eating, Liu Xiaoyuan personally took Lu Siyao to the police station.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan returned home.
When Liu Xiaoyuan got home, he saw his parents discussing something, holding a notebook in their hands, as if they were checking accounts.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked his parents.
“Your cousin just called and said his daughter is getting married tomorrow and he wants us to come to the wedding banquet. Let me see how much money your cousin’s family gave you for your birthday back then,” Mom said.
In Liu Xiaoyuan's hometown, there is a custom that if someone gives you 100 yuan when you have a happy occasion, you should add a little more money to that 100 yuan the next time someone else has a happy occasion. It doesn't matter if it's just one or two yuan.
Therefore, my parents are looking for the amount of money my cousin gave as a birthday gift when my father celebrated his birthday years ago, so that they can easily collect the same amount this time.
This cousin is the son of my grandmother's brother, so we're not very close. However, we still keep in touch occasionally for celebratory occasions, but that's limited to those events. We don't see each other at other times.
“Found him. He took 128.” Dad said.
Upon hearing this, Mom immediately said, "Where is it? Let me see." Dad immediately pointed to the number he had written down and told Mom. Mom looked at the number in the notebook, nodded, and said, "It's one hundred and twenty-eight."
"Then how much do you want?" Mom asked Dad.
Although my mom is a bit domineering, when it comes to matters that require her to handle external affairs, I still let my dad make the decisions.
Dad said, "It's been five or six years since I celebrated my birthday. Back then, 128 was worth much more than 128 is now. So, I think we should take 208 this time."
Upon hearing this, Mom said, "Isn't 208 a bit too much? Let's make it a little less."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Mom, now that your son can earn money, just take two hundred and eight. Don't worry about the small amount."
When Mom heard Liu Xiaoyuan and her husband say this, she agreed. She immediately found a large red envelope, put 208 yuan into it, and handed it to Dad.
Dad said, "Why hand it to me now? Just keep it at home, and remember to take it when you go tomorrow."
"By the way, Xiaoyuan, you're coming with me to the wedding banquet tomorrow. Don't go out tomorrow," Dad said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to go to the wedding banquet, and said with a smile, "I won't go, Dad. You should go with Mom. I'll just stay at home."
Mom said, "Xiao Yuan, tomorrow you and your dad will drive there together."
Upon hearing his mother's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately understood the situation and why his father had asked him to go.
To explain this, we have to talk about money. In the past, our family wasn't well-off, so we were looked down upon by my grandmother's family. Although we had some contact, it was all just social niceties and formalities, so there wasn't any deep affection between us.
My cousin's daughter is getting married, and my dad was invited to the wedding banquet. My dad asked Liu Xiaoyuan to drive there so that he could make himself look good.
Dad now knows that the car Liu Xiaoyuan is driving is worth over a million yuan, and there aren't many like it in the entire county.
There's nothing we can do; everyone has a bit of vanity. Liu Xiaoyuan could understand his parents' actions.
"Okay, no problem. I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. I'll just go with Dad to my cousin's wedding." After learning his parents' real purpose, Liu Xiaoyuan readily agreed.
