"Who are you?" The one who opened the door was He Hongxiu, Zhong Xiaolan's mother. At this time, the Zhong family had not yet met Yu Qiuying, so naturally they did not recognize her.
"Is this person a beggar? He stinks! Mom, make him leave right now!" Zhong Xiaolan's younger sister, Zhong Xiaoting, glared at Yu Qiuying with disgust.
Zhong Xiaolan's father, Zhong Dalong, also looked displeased and whispered a rebuke to He Hongxiu, "Get her out of here right now."
Zhong Xiaolan glanced at Yu Qiuying with disdain, then looked away without much concern.
Yu Qiuying twisted her body and squeezed past He Hongxiu to go inside. "Oh, in-law, I'm Xiaolan's future mother-in-law!"
As she spoke, her eyes darted around, "Tsk tsk... Your house is so beautiful, you even have a TV, is it a color TV?"
As if oblivious to the Zhong family's dark expressions, she strode to the television and greedily touched the screen.
Then, turning his head, he saw the fruit and pastries on the low table, immediately walked over, plopped down next to Zhong Xiaoting, and grabbed a handful of grapes to eat.
"These grapes are so sweet. It's definitely better in the city. Oh, my Jia Dong is really capable. He actually managed to find a city girl." As he spoke, he spat the grape skins and seeds onto the ground.
Then he turned and leaned closer to Zhong Xiaoting, "You must be my daughter-in-law, Xiaolan. You're so beautiful. My Jiadong has such good taste."
She looked Zhong Xiaoting up and down. "It's just that her butt is a little small, but it's okay. As long as she can have children, that's fine. As long as she can have children, she'll eventually have a boy."
The Zhong family: "..."
The Zhong family's faces darkened. Who the hell was this person? Did they even let her into the house?! Did they even offer her grapes?!
Zhong Xiaoting even screamed, as if she had been touched by something disgusting, and jumped up and ran away, yelling, "Ahhh! Who told you to sit there?! Who told you to eat my grapes?! They're filthy!!!"
Zhong Xiaolan was also furious. She could hardly believe it: "You...you said you're Zhou Jiadong's mother?!"
Yu Qiuying turned to look at her and deliberately said, "Yes, you're Xiaolan's older sister, right? How old are you? You look about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Are you married? Why is your face so pale and you're so thin? Is there something wrong with your health?"
Then she looked at Zhong Xiaoting and said, "Our Xiaolan is still the prettiest. She looks healthy and will definitely give me a few big, fat grandsons in the future."
"You!" Zhong Xiaolan was so angry that her breathing became rapid, and her face became somewhat ferocious.
Seeing her reaction, Yu Qiuying felt extremely pleased.
She grabbed another banana and started eating it, ignoring Zhong Xiaolan, and said to He Hongxiu, "Mother-in-law, didn't you ask Jiadong to come back and discuss the bride price with me a few days ago? Well, I've come here in person today."
Upon hearing this, He Hongxiu's heart skipped a beat, and she suppressed her anger, saying, "So you've come today to give betrothal gifts?"
Zhong Dalong suppressed his anger and looked at Yu Qiuying.
Yu Qiuying tossed aside the banana peel in her hand and rubbed her hand on the sofa. "Hey, where would my family get that much money? Here's the thing, I've already thought it through. Since your family doesn't have a son, why don't you just let Jiadong become your live-in son-in-law? Anyway, I still have a son."
"However, my son Jiadong is someone I raised with great care, so I can't just give him away for nothing. How about this, I don't want a thousand, just give me five hundred."
"Also, since our two families will be in-laws from now on, I'd like to come and live in the city for a while and experience being a city dweller. Remember to prepare a room for me too!"
The Zhong family: "..."
