As soon as the mother and daughter stepped out of the room, Tao Qiuyan greeted them warmly.
"Come, mother-in-law, come sit here."
Because Min Yuehua said the stools were dirty, Tao Qiuyan specially borrowed two light-colored wooden stools that looked clean.
Unexpectedly, Min Yuehua retorted directly: "Don't call it so early. It's not too late to call it when your son can come up with 5,000 yuan to buy a house in Hangzhou."
"Mom." Seeing Tao Qiuyan's embarrassed expression, Su Xinyi tugged at Min Yuehua's arm.
"Okay, okay, let's have dinner, let's have dinner."
Min Yuehua sat proudly in the main seat, her eyes lighting up as she looked at the dishes on the table.
There were seven or eight dishes in total, except for a soup and two vegetarian dishes, the rest were all meat dishes.
With fish and meat, even Min Yuehua, a city dweller, wouldn't dare to eat like this at home.
They believed that Ye Beiping and his family were putting on a show of wealth beyond their means.
Stay for half a month and see if they eat these dishes every day. How can a rural family afford to eat meat every day?
Compared to Min Yuehua's haughty demeanor, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin instantly felt insignificant.
Ye Beiping wasn't particular about such things. He went to the kitchen and took an extra pair of chopsticks, placing them on the plate: "Auntie, Xinyi, Mom, Sister, let's eat."
"Okay, okay." Tao Qiuyan nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Every now and then, Ye Beiping would take out an extra pair of serving chopsticks and use them to serve food to the four women.
"Auntie, try this meat, it's my mom's best dish."
"Xinyi, you need to eat more nourishing foods now. Eat these fish eyes; they're your favorite."
"Mom, you should eat more meat too. Don't always avoid meat just to save money."
"Sister, you should eat more too, so you can have the strength to take care of the baby when you get healthy."
...
The first three sentences were relatively normal, but the last sentence completely stumped Ye Xiaoxin.
Cough cough cough!
Cough cough cough!
What does it mean to have the strength to take care of a child?
Whose child are you taking care of?
The other three people also looked at Ye Beiping strangely.
Ye Beiping, on the other hand, was as usual. He picked up two pieces of meat and began to eat rice with gusto.
Min Yuehua felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Ye Beiping after what he had just done.
Instead of using his own chopsticks to pick up food, Ye Beiping used serving chopsticks, which at least showed good hygiene.
The first dinner went very smoothly, barely passable thanks to Ye Beiping constantly serving food and making them laugh.
After dinner, Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin went to wash the dishes.
Ye Beiping then asked Su Xinyi, "Xinyi, do you want to go for a walk after dinner? It's still early, a walk will help you digest and is good for your health."
“Okay.” Su Xinyi knew that Ye Beiping probably had something to say to her, so she readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, Min Yuehua also stood up and said, "I want to take a walk too, let's go together."
This left Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi speechless.
Two young people taking a stroll after dinner is romantic, but what's with an older woman in the middle?
But Min Yuehua didn't think she had done anything wrong; her goal was simply to prevent the two of them from being alone together.
That kind of cultivation of feelings will only deepen them, and one of the reasons she stayed here was to create conflict between the two of them.
Ye Beiping nodded in agreement.
The three of them strolled along the country lanes as dusk fell.
The scene was rather odd, with an older woman sandwiched between two young people.
If Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi walked a little faster, Min Yuehua would walk a little faster too; if they walked a little slower, Min Yuehua would slow down as well.
Even the dumbest person could see what was going on.
Suddenly, Min Yuehua asked, "Ye Beiping, I heard you can repair radios? I don't see you have a radio at home."
"Oh..." Ye Beiping replied with a smile, "I collect old radios, repair them, and sell them as secondhand."
"It just so happens that Xinyi and I are doing this..."
It seemed that saying this in front of Min Yuehua would be too provocative, so Ye Beiping changed his words and said, "I bought a new one for Xinyi a couple of days ago. I originally intended it for her to use to keep her entertained. It's in the cabinet. I'll take it out for you when we get back."
Min Yuehua nodded, then suddenly looked down at Su Xinyi's wrist in surprise and said, "Xinyi, where did you get this watch? I've had my eye on it for a long time, but your dad has never bought it for me."
Su Xinyi was now in an awkward situation.
I know what kind of person my mother is; she always likes to compare what she eats, what she wears, and what she brings with her.
The gold bracelet on her wrist was bought for her mother by her father after saving up for more than half a year.
Seeing that Su Xinyi didn't speak, Ye Beiping explained, "Auntie, this is my wedding gift to Xinyi. If you like it, I can buy you one sometime. It'll only cost 100 yuan."
hiss!
When Min Yuehua heard the price, she still gasped.
After all, her monthly salary is only a little over thirty yuan, plus her husband's 80 yuan. It would take a month of not eating or drinking to afford it.
I never expected Ye Beiping to be so generous.
But when she thought about having Ye Beiping deliver it, she fell silent.
The three of them wandered around until dark before heading back.
As soon as she got home, Min Yuehua started rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for a radio, wanting to see if Ye Beiping had lied to her.
But to her dismay, a new radio was indeed found in the closet.
Finally, listening to the radio, I sat on the bed, somewhat annoyed.
"I just don't believe that a country family can eat better than me, use better things than me, and wear better clothes than me."
Hearing these words, Su Xinyi almost burst out laughing. She always thought her father was going to suffer when she saw her mother acting like this.
Now she envies her son-in-law.
son in law?
Suddenly thinking of this word, Su Xinyi's face turned bright red.
