Although Xia Tingyue was dissatisfied with Mrs. Fu's mischief, the Fu family was still Fu Jingchen's home for the time being. The mystery of Fu Jingchen's life experience had not yet been solved, so some etiquette could not be neglected. She handed a cloth bag to Gu Wanwan, which contained a can of malted milk, a pound of peach cakes, and a pound of glutinous rice sticks. "Give it to Jingchen's parents. They treat him well, so it's only right to give them something."
Zheng Shican curled his lips, "If you ask me, I shouldn't have given it away. No matter how good the item is, it will still be snatched away by Old Lady Fu. It's a waste of the in-demand item."
Gu Wanwan picked the smallest cabbage, "We are here to beg for money... ahem, we are here to meet the parents, so we can't be too shabby. This cabbage is juicy enough. The Fu family is all fat and strong. Malted milk is too nutritious. They can't enjoy it. Those peach cakes and rice noodles are too expensive. Mrs. Fu and her husband will be guilty if they break their teeth."
Everyone: “…” The cabbages are so small, so malnourished, they’re not even enough to make a dish.
Fu Jingchen took out the pakchoi and put some wilted wild vegetables in it. "You don't have to be so rude... ahem, we're just going over to have a meal. You don't have to bring such an expensive gift. A little bit of thoughtfulness is enough."
Everyone: “……!!!” This is even more stingy than before. This is not a question of whether it is shabby or not. Are you sure that those are not rotten vegetable leaves that are going to be thrown away?
Gu Wanwan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, very pretty, the gift is small but the sentiment is great."
"Let's take An Bao with us. It's a rare opportunity for the Fu family to spend so much money, we have to make it back." After Fu Jingchen finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Shican and the others, "Godmother and godfather, let's all go together. It will be more lively with more people."
Xia Tingyue silently took back the bag. Well, she was just overthinking.
Zheng Shican didn't find it strange. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I have a thick skin like steel."
Sheng Qing was shy, "Boss, just enjoy your meal. Auntie has already prepared dinner."
The two of them went there to get some free money, it’s confirmed!
In the end, Zheng Shican was dragged back home by Xia Tingyue.
Fu Jingchen carried the basket and went to Fu's house with Gu Wanwan and An Bao.
The setting sun shines on the three of them, and from a distance, they look like a family of three.
After Gu Wanwan's careful care during this period, and with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, An Bao has grown fatter visibly. He used to be a skinny monkey, but now he has become a chubby little ball, even with some baby fat, and is very soft and cute.
For this dinner, Fu Xiangling used all her best skills, and Ding Yanli was not to be outdone. She bought two pounds of meat and a fish out of her own pocket and prepared dinner herself.
She wanted to let Fu Jingchen know that she was a good wife and mother who was willing to cook for him.
The most important thing is that she must seize this hard-won opportunity and complete her wedding night with Brother Jingchen as soon as possible.
By the time the meal was ready and the whole family was seated, Fu Jingchen was still nowhere to be seen.
As the 'bride', Ding Yanli sat next to Shen Chunman, and the empty seat next to her was naturally reserved for Fu Jingchen.
Liu Laixi was waiting impatiently, drooling at the dishes on the table, "Isn't he coming back to eat? It's really ignorant to make us elders wait for him."
The next second, Fu Jingchen's voice came from outside the main room, "I was busy washing clothes for my wife, so I came late!"
Fu Xiangling's eyes lit up, she knew that Brother Jingchen would not break his promise, but when she heard Fu Jingchen's words, her face became frighteningly gloomy.
Ding Yanli suppressed her displeasure and ran out to greet her husband like a newlywed wife, "Brother Jingchen, there are rumors outside that you are engaged, but that's not true, right..."
"Oh, the dishes today are pretty good." Gu Wanwan stuffed the basket into Ding Yanli's hand. "This is a gift that Jingchen and I prepared. It's just a small token of respect. We picked them ourselves, so it's sincere enough, isn't it?"
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Gu Wanwan randomly picked a seat and sat down. Fu Jingchen turned and went into the kitchen, brought back two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and sat next to his wife, holding An Bao.
Normally, the younger generations in the Fu family would only start eating after old man Fu gave the order to eat. But now Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan ignored the elders of the Fu family and picked up dishes to show their affection as if no one was around.
“No…” Old Mrs. Fu was speechless. She had always been the one to get benefits from others, but now that someone was hitting her, she had completely forgotten to react.
"I didn't expect that your Fu family would value me so much and specially hold an engagement party for Fu Jingchen and me. It's really generous. I won't be polite then." Gu Wanwan took a bite of the fried meat. The taste was a little bland because there was not enough oil, so the meat seemed a little dry. "How do you think it tastes?"
"It's not as delicious as what you cook. Just make do with it." Fu Jingchen spoke frankly. He picked up some food for his wife and did not forget to serve his brother-in-law, picking up a big chicken leg for him.
An Bao happily followed the big chicken leg, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
"Be good." Fu Jingchen touched An Bao's head.
Fu Xiangling and Ding Yanli felt as if their hearts were shot by an arrow, and the pain was piercing their hearts...
Liu Lai was not happy, "Fourth brother, you don't love your blood-related niece, how can you love a stranger's child? He is not your son."
"He's my brother-in-law, not an outsider." Fu Jingchen teased An Bao. He loved An Bao a little bit because he loved his wife, but mainly because An Bao looked too much like his wife. When he saw this cute little face, he always thought of Gu Wanwan when she was a child, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
Raising a brother-in-law? He has already raised him as a son and has accumulated experience in raising children in advance.
"Where are my second uncle's family? Why can't I see them?"
Fu Yijin answered subconsciously, "I accompanied my second aunt back to her parents' home."
Unexpectedly, Fu Jingchen's next words almost drove the Fu family crazy, "Wanwan, your second uncle is not here, you can eat more. If you can't finish it, we can pack it up. It's rare that the Fu family cooks so many dishes for us. Our family of three eats to their heart's content. We can't let the Fu family down."
The three of them ate with relish, finishing off the meal in no time. By the time the Fu family members realized what was happening, less than half of the food was left on the table.
"Gu Wanwan, what do you mean by this? Why do you want to eat the food I cooked? I prepared it especially for Brother Jingchen." Ding Yanli slammed the basket to the ground. "You brought your family to eat here. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Gu Wanwan looked innocent, "Why am I embarrassed? Didn't I give you a gift?"
Ding Yanli pointed at the rotten vegetables on the ground and walked up to Gu Wanwan. "Is this the gift you mentioned? The wild vegetables are stinky!"
Gu Wanwan stood up and looked at her with her arms folded. "That was picked by your brother Jingchen himself. It's an honor for the Fu family that I am willing to eat at their house. No one in the Fu family said anything, and it's obvious that they all welcome me. Why do you, an outsider, have the right to meddle in other people's business? Why did Fu Jingchen choose me instead of you? It's because you are too ugly. You should learn to reflect on yourself."
The expressions of the people in the Fu family were as if they had eaten shit. They had never seen such a shabby gift before. Gu Wanwan refreshed their understanding!
What an excellent female educated youth! It was not unfair for the Ding and Du families to lose.
"you……"
Fu Xiangling felt that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so she decided to take the initiative and attack. This was a good opportunity to test who was more important to Brother Jingchen, her or Gu Wanwan. "Stop fighting..."
While Ding Yanli was pestering Gu Wanwan, she pretended to be pushed down, "Gu Zhiqing, I just came to stop the fight, why did you push me down?"
