Qiao Xiaoshan patted his belly, then picked up the bowl next to him, took a sip of dumpling soup, and said, "Okay, I'm full. This is what eating dumplings should be like."
Thinking that his son had stayed there for one night, Qiao Haisheng couldn't help but ask,
"Did your grandma make things difficult for you?"
Qiao Xiaoshan recalled what had happened that morning and quickly recounted it to everyone in detail, laughing heartily when he mentioned Qiao Lingling fainting.
Qiao Xiaoni chuckled, "She fainted from anger just like that, she's so petty."
Li Meihua sighed, "Lingling, I watched that child grow up, how did she become like this?"
The two families don't usually have any contact, so why does she dislike Xiaoni so much?
Qiao Xiaoni took a sip of dumpling soup and said to everyone,
"Ugly people often cause trouble. They feel uncomfortable when others are doing well, which is a kind of pathology."
Qiao Xiaoshan then said, "Grandma asked me to pass on a message that we're going to have a banquet to celebrate my sister getting into university."
They also said my sister has to participate, what should we do about that?
Qiao Haisheng frowned. "What's going on here now? I wonder which of the old couple came up with this idea."
Li Meihua hadn't been to her mother-in-law's house for many years. "Honey, you have to make a decision about this. Should we let our daughter go?"
Qiao Haisheng was at a loss for what to do, so he turned to look at his daughter.
“Nizi, you’re an adult now. Make your own decisions.”
Qiao Xiaoni thought about how she could receive a lot of money as gifts when holding a banquet in the countryside. "If I hold a banquet at my grandma's house, do the guests have to give me money as gifts?"
Tao Chunfang said, "Of course you have to give money. If you have a better relationship, you'll give more in return. But usually, banquets are only held for engagements, weddings, and baby's one-month celebrations."
Qiao Xiaoni said, "Dad, you need to talk to Grandma about how to calculate the money they received as gifts for the banquet. Do we have to pay them back after they've collected it?"
Qiao Haisheng suddenly realized a lot after his daughter's suggestion. The money given by everyone was, according to etiquette, money that he received for his daughter's college admission. If the other party had any problems in the future, he would also have to pay for it.
If this matter isn't clarified, it will become a problem sooner or later.
“You’re right. I need to ask your grandma about this. We can’t let this cause any trouble for our family.”
A sense of unease rose in Li Meihua's heart. The old lady was too capable of causing trouble. What if her husband couldn't handle it?
"Honey...won't you go ask and cause a fight?"
Qiao Haisheng shook his head, "No, this was definitely the old man's idea. I'll go back and ask him. We'll talk about the details when I get back."
Su Chenhao: "Uncle, do you want me to go back with you?"
Qiao Haisheng thought for a moment, "It's good that you come back with me. Let the old man get to know you first, and then we'll tell him the good news later."
Qiao Xiaoshan, with his sharp ears, asked, "Dad, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Qiao Haisheng looked at his two sons and said, "From now on, Su Chenhao will be your brother-in-law. Their engagement has been arranged. I'll pick a good day later and then we'll arrange their engagement."
Apart from the elderly couple, everyone present was stunned by the news; they had no idea when it had happened.
Thinking of how good her sister-in-law had been to her, and considering that Su Chenhao's circumstances were somewhat lacking, Tao Chunfang felt uneasy.
"Dad, isn't it a bit too early to get my sister-in-law engaged now? I mean, she just had her birthday, and she still has two years before she can get married!"
