Lin Lei strode hurriedly, rushing home like a whirlwind. His rapid footsteps seemed to shatter the ground, drawing stares from passersby along the way.
Having finally reached his doorstep, Lin Lei flung it open and rushed inside, throwing whatever he was clutching onto the table. A loud "thud!" echoed, making the entire table tremble slightly.
Wang Wanru, who was deep in thought in the room, was startled by the sudden noise. She looked up in surprise and her eyes quickly focused on the strange object on the table.
"Oh my god! What is this? My goodness... What have you all been doing?" Wang Wanru exclaimed as she hurried toward the table.
In fact, ever since Lin Xue left, Wang Wanru had been sitting alone in the house, secretly regretting her actions.
She thought to herself: I really should have persevered a little longer! Although the family's financial situation is very tight now, if she wants to prepare a sumptuous dinner, she will definitely have to swallow her pride and humbly borrow money from the neighbors.
But in any case, this money can be paid back slowly in the future, so it's not a big deal.
But who would have thought that he would be so easily persuaded by Lin Xue to let the two of them go grocery shopping? If they buy too little, wouldn't tonight's dinner look too meager? But if they buy too much or too expensive, it will inevitably cost a lot of money.
Lin Xue and Mo Yuan had only recently gotten married, and they had traveled a long and arduous journey to Shanghai, perhaps even borrowing money from various sources to cover their travel expenses. How could she possibly let them spend any more money?
What if the money they spent is for their return trip?
Thinking about this, Wang Wanru felt increasingly uneasy. She stood up, intending to chase after Lin Lei and the others, but saw Lin Lei already panting as he returned home. However, when she saw what Lin Lei had left on the table, she was instantly dumbfounded.
"My dear little darling, where did you get all this stuff? Did you rob someone? Return it to them right now, or we'll be so embarrassed if they come after us!" Wang Wanru frowned, staring suspiciously at the dazzling array of items before her, utterly baffled as to where they came from. After much thought, she could only guess the worst possible outcome.
Seeing his mother's anxiety, Lin Lei quickly stepped forward and began to recount the story with great enthusiasm: "Mom, don't worry! Here's what happened: Today we went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and that guy, Mo Yuan, who's my brother-in-law, was incredibly generous! He went on a shopping spree, filling his basket with all sorts of delicious food and useful items. And on the way back, I deliberately showed off all those things to the neighbors, leaving them all speechless with astonishment. Humph, serves them right for always gossiping about our family; this time, I finally got my revenge for you!"
Lin Lei spoke with great enthusiasm, as if the scene he had just witnessed was unfolding before his eyes. Wang Wanru, sitting beside him, listened intently, her expression initially one of surprise, then gradually turning into a relieved smile. At this moment, Lin Zhennan, having heard the commotion outside, also came out of the house. After hearing his son's account, he was equally astonished, speechless.
"Oh my, I never expected Mo Yuan to be so rich! It seems that the son-in-law that Xue found for our family is no ordinary countryman! When they come back, we have to ask them a good question. We can't look down on them like we used to!" Lin Zhennan shook his head and sighed, patting Lin Lei on the shoulder.
However, Lin Lei couldn't wait to run back to his sister and brother-in-law to help them move their things. He hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to help my sister and brother-in-law with their things!" Then he dashed out the door.
Lin Zhennan stood to the side, his gaze fixed on Wang Wanru, who was circling the table and scrutinizing her. He muttered to himself, "It's really unexpected. Our daughter has actually turned misfortune into blessing this time. Look at that kid Mo Yuan. Just by listening to him and observing his behavior, you can tell he's not from an ordinary rural family. And after hearing what Lin Lei said earlier, I'm even more convinced that this kid is extraordinary! But thankfully, he cares a lot about our Xue'er, which makes me feel a little better!"
After hearing this, Wang Wanru nodded repeatedly in agreement, echoing, "That's right! It's truly a blessing in disguise. You can clearly see from the way they get along that the young couple has a very good relationship. Our daughter is destined to be blessed; Heaven has finally opened its eyes! It has found her such an outstanding family!"
As she spoke, Wang Wanru's eyes welled up with tears, which began to well up in her eyes. She gently wiped away the tears as she continued to express her feelings.
Seeing this, Lin Zhennan became somewhat agitated and quickly tried to comfort him, saying, "Oh dear, you told me not to cry earlier, but look at yourself, why are you crying now? This is a joyous occasion, we should be happy! Alright, alright, stop crying and hurry up and get ready. Tonight, our family will have a good, sumptuous dinner. As for me, I'm going to have a few drinks with my son-in-law!"
Wang Wanru sniffed, trying to stop her tears, and then smiled through her tears, saying, "I'm just so happy, I can't help but cry! Okay, I'll go get ready right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly went about his business.
