Seeing that Fubao still refused to let go, Mrs. Shen said helplessly: "Well... well, thank you, Mrs. Huo."
She thought of accepting it temporarily and then finding a chance to return it to the Huo family later.
"No, no, I should thank you! If it weren't for your daughter, my son would probably not be able to survive..." Jiang Meilan paused, then smiled and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this. By the way, are you going to hold a full-month banquet? If so, I can help. Otherwise...how about holding it at a restaurant in town?"
A restaurant in town?
The Shen family was a little dumbfounded. How much money would that cost?
Old Mrs. Shen shook her head and said, "We have to hold a full-month banquet, but we can do it ourselves. How can we trouble you? If you are free, you can come and have the full-month banquet."
This was a polite refusal to go to town to hold the banquet. Jiang Meilan knew that they were honest and felt that this was a benefit that they had received for no reason and could not accept it, so she did not force them and said with a smile, "Okay, Jin Xi and I will definitely come over then. Son, you must want to come, right?"
"Yeah!" Huo Jinxi raised her pink little face and nodded vigorously.
He would certainly not miss the opportunity to come and see that girl.
Seeing that he answered so readily, Jiang Meilan smiled and suddenly asked, "Son, do you like Fubao?"
"I like it." Huo Jinxi's pair of clear black and white eyes were always staring at Fubao in Lin Xiujuan's arms, as if they were glued to her.
Jiang Meilan joked: "Then...how about letting Fubao be your wife?"
"Okay!" Huo Jinxi answered without thinking.
The Shen family, "......!!"
Jiang Meilan burst into laughter. She could tell that her son really liked Fubao, otherwise he wouldn't have kept staring at Fubao with such a straight look, as if he couldn't wait to take the girl home.
"Son, do you know what your mother is talking about? Do you know what daughter-in-law means?"
"I know, a wife is one you can kiss, hug, sleep with, and even have children with! Just like you and dad." Huo Jinxi said seriously.
In the eyes of rural people, these words were extremely shocking, especially in the 1980s. They were really too open, even if they were said by a three-year-old child.
The Shen family looked at Huo Jinxi in horror, and Jiang Meilan was also stunned.
How could this kid know all this? She never told him this before. Where did he hear it from?
Huo Jinxi looked up at Jiang Meilan, who was extremely surprised, and asked innocently, "Mom, can I take Fubao home? If he's my wife, should she live with me?"
The Shen family, "......!!!"
How could that be possible! Nannan was their beloved baby. Although she could live a good life if she really went to the Huo family, how could they bear to send their baby away? Absolutely not!
Especially Old Lady Shen and Shen Jianlin, their hair almost stood up when they heard this, and they instinctively wanted to say no, but the other party was just a tiny kid, how could they take his words seriously? It was just the childish talk of a child.
After Jiang Meilan came to her senses, she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She said to Lin Xiujuan who was also smiling, "Fubao's mother, what do you think...how about we become in-laws?"
