As expected, Lu Yaozu immediately asked, "What is it?"
Bai Miaomiao shook her head and said sympathetically, "Forget it, Brother Yaozu, it's not a valuable thing."
Mother Lu said, "How can it be worthless? Your pendant must have cost at least seventeen dollars. It's our fault that we're poor. My dear, I'm really sorry for you."
Bai Miaomiao said very obediently, "Mom, it's okay. Erwa is young, so I should give in to him. The reason I'm angry is that the pendant was given to me by Brother Yaozu. Brother Yaozu is generous and won't care about such a small thing, but you still have to take care of Erwa."
These words made Bai's mother smile. "Of course, don't worry, my daughter. I'll tell Erwa to go back. Even if our family is poor, we can't take the things your brother-in-law gave to your sister."
Bai Miaomiao couldn't help blushing and stamping her feet, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Yaozu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Looking at the blushing Miaomiao, his eyes became even more fiery and pale. "Hey, Auntie, you're joking. Miaomiao and I are just friends now."
Seeing the way he was looking at her daughter, Mother Bai said happily, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I got it wrong. Xiao Lu, a girl as young as you is hard to find even with a lantern. I've already chosen you from the bottom of my heart."
Lu Yaozu smiled widely upon hearing this. He had never been appreciated like this before.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have given Bai Miaomiao a pendant before, so he waved his hand and didn't take it seriously. He said generously, "Thank you, Auntie. Erwa can take the thing. I'll buy Miaomiao another one later."
Mother Bai was immediately overjoyed. "Oh, Xiao Lu is so generous. Okay, then Auntie won't interrupt you guys. By the way, Miaomiao, if you like something, why not let Xiao Lu give you the money and buy it yourself? Xiao Lu must be busy with work."
While saying this, he winked at his daughter, telling her that asking for things was of no use, and that it would be more appropriate to get some money from him, which could also help supplement the family income.
Bai Miaomiao pretended not to notice. Her mother-in-law preferred boys to girls, so she had to think for herself. They say an eighteen-year-old girl is a flower, and if Lu Yaozu hadn't bought her anything, how would she dress herself up, let alone keep a man's heart?
"Brother Yaozu, you must have something to talk to me about. Let's go for a walk over there." Bai Miaomiao said, pulling Lu Yaozu towards the tree-lined avenue near the state-owned factory.
Mother Bai stamped her feet behind him, "That little bitch, she's really grown up and become so arrogant. She actually dared to disobey me. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back."
After the two of them walked a long way, Lu Yaozu looked a little depressed and sighed softly: "Miaomiao, I have no hope. Let's think of another way."
Everyone in the family favors his younger uncle to an extreme degree, and none of them likes Miaomiao. He has no hope of marrying her or living a happy life with her.
Lu Yaozu couldn't help but feel worried. Bai Miaomiao's mother's attitude towards him just now really made him feel relieved. Lu Yaozu felt worried, but at the same time, he felt sweet in his heart. Since Bai's mother approved of him so much, he felt confident.
As he spoke, he held Bai Miaomiao's hand and looked at her without blinking. It had been a while since I last saw her, but Bai Miaomiao's face was still as fair as before.
She was good at handwork, and whenever she wore clothes, her waist was always pinched thin, which made her figure look particularly slim, but she was no worse than Jiang Xiaoci.
As Lu Yaozu watched, he couldn't help but feel distracted. His uncle and Jiang Xiaoci were both acting so affectionate, but he and Bai Miaomiao could only meet secretly and hold hands occasionally. The more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.
It has been a while since they last saw each other. Bai Miaomiao was looking forward to the progress on Lu Yaozu's side, but she was also worried that he might change his mind since he hadn't come to see her for such a long time.
