Chapter 151 I will be a good mother-in-law!
Tang Xueli didn't expect Yan Jingshu to say this.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Maybe it's possible. Your mother is so pretty that it's easy for people to fall in love with her at first sight."
Yan Jingshu suddenly fell silent, with a very interesting expression.
Tang Xueli smiled and ate the apple leisurely.
"My mother mainly studies ancient characters. She teaches both Chinese language and literature, depending on the schedule each semester."
Yan Jingshu said: "The people pursuing my mother can line up from here to the train station."
Tang Xueli: "Your mother has a hard time, too."
Being liked by so many people, he must have encountered a lot of troubles.
How to quickly and safely reject a suitor is also a science.
Yan Jingshu took the initiative to talk about his mother.
"Nowadays, many people always persuade my mother to remarry, saying that your husband has been dead for so many years, why are you still so depressed! Last month, an uncle came to our house and gave us a lot of advice."
Yan Jingshu imitated the uncle's tone and said, "How hard it is for you as a woman to live. How can you live without a man by your side? You look so pitiful."
Tang Xueli curled her lips. She felt disgusted every time she heard such words.
"After hearing what happened, my mother said that it was really pitiful for him to think that way, and then she chased him away. The uncle came a few more times later, and when he saw that there was no hope for him to get along with my mother, he stood at the door and cursed. Because the curses were so nasty, the aunt in our yard couldn't stand it anymore, so she poured the dung bucket that hadn't been emptied in time on him."
Tang Xueli was delighted, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Auntie is amazing!"
"The old lady is very capable and kind-hearted. She will help anyone who is in trouble."
Yan Jingshu sighed softly, "She hasn't been feeling well lately. She can't eat and has lost a lot of weight."
"Are you sick?" Tang Xueli asked, "Have you been to a big hospital for a checkup?"
"She refused to go to the hospital, so we dragged her there, but we couldn't find out what disease she had."
Yan Jingshu said, "I asked Elder Hua to see her. He said that Auntie was too worried and had a heart disease. If the heart disease is not cured, the root of the disease will always be there, and no matter how many medicines she takes, the effect will not be good."
Tang Xueli threw the apple cores left by the two of them into the trash can at the door, turned back and sat at the desk, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Auntie?"
"I don't know." Yan Jingshu shook his head. "Auntie said she was happy all day long. There's no way she had any worries."
"Can I go see Auntie?"
Tang Xueli has researched appetizer soups and wanted to let the aunt try them.
"Of course you can, but Auntie is visiting relatives today and she probably won't be back until the evening."
Yan Jingshu looked at Tang Xueli with a smile: "How about you stay for dinner before leaving? My mom cooks delicious food. She doesn't cook often. If you are here, I can have a good meal with you."
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble for your mother if I stayed for dinner?"
If you don’t cook often, it means you don’t like cooking!
She didn't want to do such a tactless thing.
But before she could say no, Yan Jingshu said, "We haven't even talked about business yet, so we can chat slowly."
"We don't need to talk about serious matters for too long. We can finish them in a few sentences."
Tang Xueli briefly relayed Uncle He's words, as well as what she discovered while stalking last night.
Yan Jingshu's expression became more serious. "Then it is basically certain that this is a Feng Biao location, and Chi Daben should be one of the persons in charge. Or, he could be the biggest person in charge, fully responsible for this part of Feng Biao's business."
"I have had contact with Chi Daben several times and found that he is a chameleon. He reacts very quickly and has a lot on his mind."
Tang Xueli said thoughtfully, "He often mentions the boss, as if he is very loyal to Feng Biao. But now I think that may not be the case. His ambition is definitely much greater than what he shows."
"Stay for dinner, we can discuss this more."
Yan Jingshu invited her again, "Don't you like my mother? Don't you want to try my mother's cooking? Besides, don't you want to see Auntie? Auntie doesn't come back until dark!"
Tang Xueli: "..."
It seems there is no way to refuse this.
Gu Youqing came back soon, carrying a lot of vegetables in her hands.
She went out to deliver some teaching materials to a colleague and originally planned to go shopping in a bookstore, but suddenly changed her mind halfway.
Cooking yourself shows more sincerity than inviting people out to a restaurant.
Thinking that her son had not eaten his mother's cooking for a while, Gu Youqing went straight to the vegetable market and bought a bunch of ingredients.
"Xue Li, I will show you my cooking skills tonight and cook you a delicious meal."
The mother and son wanted to go together, and they really had a tacit understanding.
Tang Xueli stood up and said, "I can cook too, let me help you!"
"No, it doesn't make sense to let guests cook." Gu Youqing said with a smile: "I know you are a good cook. I have eaten the stewed dishes you made. They tasted really good. Give me a chance this time, let me show off."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. Thank you very much."
Tang Xueli didn't want to appear too pretentious.
Gu Youqing worked in an orderly manner, without being hurried or panic. It took her two hours to prepare a table of food, which included six dishes and a soup.
When the sunset was at its most beautiful, the three of them sat around the table and started eating.
Tang Xueli felt a little complicated when she saw a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her.
Gu Youqing knew her so well, which showed that Yan Jingshu had mentioned her to his mother many times at home.
"Sydney, do you want beer or soda?" The soft tone made Gu Youqing's slightly hoarse voice sound even better.
"I'll drink soda." Tang Xueli remembered that the bottle opener was on the desk, so she got up to get it.
Before he could stand up, Yan Jingshu grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Are you going to get a bottle opener?"
Tang Xueli nodded.
"My mother doesn't need it, just sit down!"
Before Yan Jingshu finished speaking, Gu Youqing picked up the bamboo chopsticks and quickly opened a bottle of beer and two bottles of soda.
Tang Xueli instantly felt the impact of the contrast.
"Don't be fooled by my mother's gentleness. She's actually very ruthless when she hits people." Yan Jingshu clenched his fist and shook it, then said to Tang Xueli, "Her fist is more ruthless than ours."
Gu Youqing glanced at her son and asked, "Do you want to be beaten?"
"Mom, I'm already this old, it's not right to hit me again!"
Yan Jingshu shrank his neck and moved towards Tang Xueli.
He took a sip of soda and whispered to Tang Xueli, "Less than a month after my father passed away, my uncle came to my house with his brothers and advised my mother to find me a stepfather as soon as possible. My mother didn't hesitate at all and broke my uncle's nose with one punch."
Tang Xueli: "..."
Gu Youqing didn't use a cup to drink beer. He just raised the bottle and took a big gulp.
The lipstick was moistened by the wine, making it look even redder and more dazzling.
"Son, it's not going to do you any good if you say that to me."
Yan Jingshu thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes."
Gu Youqing smiled at Tang Xueli and said softly, "Don't worry, I will only take action against bad people. I will be a good mother-in-law!"
Tang Xueli: "..."
