"Why did I notify you?" Lan Yun raised her hand and touched her daughter's head. "You can't solve anything by coming back. That family is just a bunch of scoundrels. They forced your father to send them to the police station and have them detained."
Zhou Meiling rested her head on her mother's chest: "I never thought his family would be so shameless before, but now I've seen it for myself. In their eyes, they spent a lot of money, so they should get a return on Sun Jie."
Now that they're not getting anything in return, they're turning their anger on me. It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together.
Lan Yun heard a strange man's voice outside: "Are there guests at home?"
"No." Zhou Meiling sat up straight and lowered her head. "Mom, didn't I tell you back then? I started dating someone. He came back with me and hasn't left for over a month. He's staying at home. We'll go back together when school starts."
"Ah!" Lan Yun was surprised. Not only did this person come along, but he also planned to stay until the start of the school term.
"Mom, he's a very good person, and his parents are good people too. I've been very careful this time and I'm sure I won't make a mistake. You'll see in a bit."
Lan Yun pulled her daughter into her arms and said, "You silly child, marriage is a matter for two people. It's not enough for us to approve; you have to approve too. Since you're happy, then you two should be together and try dating."
"Mm." Zhou Meiling felt relieved.
A hearty laugh came from outside, suggesting that Song Mingyuan and his father have a good relationship.
...
night.
Song Mingyuan didn't slack off and dragged Zhou Meiling into the kitchen to cook together.
The Zhou family hadn't been this lively in many days. Lan Yun's mood improved, and she had the strength to get out of bed and sit outside.
Zhou Boyue looked towards the kitchen. His daughter, who had never lifted a finger before, could now cook. She had really grown up.
Lan Yun knew from the first meeting that the young man was a good one; his manners were impeccable, and he had excellent upbringing.
Compared to Sun Jie, he's like earth and heaven, there's no comparison. It seems I really misjudged him before.
Fortunately, my daughter brought him back; otherwise, we might have missed out on such a good young man.
"Dinner's ready! Try my cooking: scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Zhou Meiling came out carrying a plate in both hands.
"Who taught you to cook this?" Lan Yun looked at the dishes on the table, overjoyed.
My daughter has finally grown up and become sensible; she can be independent now. Before, I only wanted her to focus on her studies, so I didn't teach her anything. Now that she's in school, I deeply regret not having taught her enough.
Zhou Meiling: "I learned from a friend of mine. She's an amazing cook. She taught me several dishes. Why don't you try my cooking tonight and see if it's good?"
"The child is so sensible," Zhou Boyue said to Lan Yun.
Lan Yun nodded.
At this moment, Song Mingyuan also brought over two plates of dishes and placed them on the table.
"Uncle, Auntie, I only made two cold dishes. Meiling made all the other dishes. I helped her by chopping vegetables and meat."
“You’re better than your uncle in this respect,” Lan Yun said sourly. “He never helped me, saying the kitchen wasn’t a place for men.”
“Isn’t that what I said before? Haven’t I been cooking all the meals lately?” Zhou Boyue retorted, ignoring the presence of the child.
Zhou Meiling brought out another large bowl of soup and placed it on the table: "This is pork rib soup I made; it simmered for over an hour!"
