After the banquet, Wang Meizhen and Lin's mother had finalized everything.
"It's almost time, let's stop here," Zhan Dafeng said. They had been talking from noon to night, and everyone in the Lin family looked a little tired.
"Okay." Father Lin nodded with a smile, stood up and shook hands with Zhan Dafeng, "Brother Zhan, you must come to my house when you have time. Although the food here may not be as good as in a restaurant, it has the taste of home."
"Sure! Sure!" Zhan Dafeng nodded with a smile.
"My dear, we'll take our leave now." Mother Lin stood up and said goodbye to Wang Meizhen. After talking with Wang Meizhen today, she realized she didn't seem like someone from a small town like Licheng. She was knowledgeable and generous. Perhaps it was because she'd been abroad for a few years.
Li Shuangshuang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She took out a plastic bag, reached out and picked up a dish and poured it into the bag. Seeing Zhan Yeping looking over, she laughed dryly and said, "It's a waste to leave this dish alone."
Zhan Yeping smiled nonchalantly. "Aren't the Lin family quite wealthy? How come there are even leftovers?"
Lin Qingqiu discovered Li Shuangshuang packing up leftovers, feeling so embarrassed she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She knew Li Shuangshuang had this habit, and while thriftiness was a good thing, it also depended on the occasion. This made the Zhan family wonder what they thought of the Lin family.
He stood up and walked to the side of Li Shuangshuang and Lin Yisheng, suppressing his anger and whispering: "Brother, can you control your wife?"
Lin Yisheng shook his head helplessly. He had told Shuangshuang about this many times, but it was no use. Now, to avoid this kind of thing, he never brought Shuangshuang with him when he went out to parties.
Shuangshuang may have developed a stingy habit because of his poor family background. He values every penny very much, and sometimes he can't bear it. But since he has already married her, what else can he do?
"What's wrong with me packing? These vegetables were going to be thrown away anyway. I'll take them home so I don't have to buy groceries for lunch tomorrow." Li Shuangshuang said disapprovingly. If she hadn't been managing the family expenses over the past few years, the Lin family's extravagant spending habits would have squandered all the money long ago.
"But you have to consider the situation." Lin Qingqiu's chest ached with anger. Today was the first time her family and Yilin's family met. Even if Yilin's family didn't say anything, they would definitely have some thoughts.
"What's wrong with the occasion? When you marry Zhan Yilin, we will all be family, right? Do we need to be so polite to each other?" Li Shuangshuang snorted.
Zhan Yilin walked forward, took Lin Qingqiu's hand, and smiled at her, "It's okay, my family won't mind."
"Yes." Zhan Yeping also nodded in agreement.
Lin's mother also saw the situation here, and an embarrassed look immediately appeared on her face. "My dear relatives, I'm really sorry. My daughter-in-law is used to being frugal." She really regretted bringing Li Shuangshuang out now.
"It's okay, being frugal is a good habit." Wang Meizhen smiled nonchalantly. They had originally planned to pack up the leftover food and give it to the beggars on the street.
Lin Qingqiu took several deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart. He glared at Li Shuangshuang fiercely and stopped talking.
Seeing that everyone had seen it, Li Shuangshuang took out two plastic bags from her bag and said, "Yisheng, bring me that plate of roast duck." The lunch dishes had been cleared away, and the dinner dishes were hardly touched.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Yisheng was embarrassed and said, "That's enough."
"Come on, these dishes haven't been touched. You'll just throw them away if you don't eat them." Li Shuangshuang glared at Lin Yisheng, unfolded the bag and put it on the table, then reached out to grab a plate of roast duck not far away.
After pouring the roast duck into the plastic bag and selecting a few dishes, Li Shuangshuang stopped with satisfaction and looked at everyone with a smile, "Let's go." She brought a little less bag today.
When the hotel manager saw Su Jinyue and her group coming downstairs, he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Boss Su!"
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "Manager Yang, please settle the bill for me." There is a strict rule in all her businesses. No matter what position she holds in the company, she must pay for any consumption in the shopping malls, restaurants, hotels... under the name of her company.
"Okay, Mr. Su!" Manager Yang took Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan to the cashier counter.
"Why does the manager here call her General Manager Su?" Li Shuangshuang asked curiously, looking at everyone.
"This is my sister-in-law's property." Zhan Yeping said.
"Your sister-in-law's property? Then why should she pay?" Li Shuangshuang asked in confusion. No wonder Su Jinyue was able to book box number one. If I bring friends here in the future, can I use Su Jinyue's name to get a free meal?
"This is the rule set by my sister-in-law, and no one is exempt from it," Zhan Yilin said. Although he and Li Shuangshuang were not familiar with each other, he could see what she was planning.
Li Shuangshuang curled her lips. It sounded nice, but who knew if it was true? She didn't go to the cashier to see Su Jinyue pay the bill in person.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan approaching, Li Shuangshuang smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, so you are the owner of this restaurant. Can I use the private room we just used next time I come?"
"Yes, but you need to make an appointment in advance." Su Jinyue said.
"Okay, then can I get a discount?" Li Shuangshuang looked at Su Jinyue with anticipation.
"That depends on whether the hotel has any events. This is Manager Yang's business card. You can contact him later." Su Jinyue handed the card to Li Shuangshuang. This was what she had promised before.
Li Shuangshuang wanted to reach out to take the business card, but found it difficult to do so with the food in her hands. She turned to Su Jinyue and said, "Then put it in my pocket."
Su Jinyue stuffed the business card into Li Shuangshuang's pocket and walked out of the hotel with everyone.
"My dear in-laws, please come visit us when you have time." Mother Lin said to Wang Meizhen with a smile. She found that she and Wang Meizhen were quite compatible, and Wang Meizhen seemed quite kind. Qingqiu should not suffer any loss in the future.
Wang Meizhen smiled and nodded, "I will definitely go when I have time next time." They must go to the Lin family, and after preparing the betrothal gifts, they will have to deliver them personally.
"Then we'll leave first." Lin's father and mother smiled and nodded to Wang Meizhen and her group.
"Uncle! Aunt! Brother Zhan! Sister-in-law Zhan! Second Brother Zhan! Second Sister-in-law Zhan! Yiping, goodbye." After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Lin Qingqiu smiled at Zhan Yilin, and walked towards their car with Lin's father and mother, Lin Yisheng, and Li Shuangshuang.
After getting in the car, Lin Qingqiu could no longer contain his anger. He looked at Li Shuangshuang and asked, "Sister-in-law, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
