Chapter 10: Encountering His Blind Date (Page 1/2)
Where is Lin Man now? Lin Man was pulled into a green SUV by her mother-in-law Xiao Ya.
With her mother-in-law on the left and her newlywed husband on the right, she sat between them like a sandwich, and her father-in-law sat in the front passenger seat.
Xiao Ya took Lin Man's hand and said gently, "Manman, why are you so beautiful? The more I look at you, the more familiar you seem to me."
Lin Man said: "Auntie is pretty too."
"Silly child, since you have already registered with Qingci, then call me mom, don't call me aunt anymore."
"Okay, Mom."
"Hey, good boy, this is a welcome gift from your mother. Your father and I came back in a hurry and didn't have time to go shopping. You can keep this money first."
Xiao Ya took out a large stack of money from her handbag and handed it to Lin Man. Huo Qingci looked straight ahead to avoid embarrassing Lin Man. After all, she had just broken up with her family and was carrying a green schoolbag when she left that house.
Lin Man stuffed the money back into Xiao Ya's pocket and said, "Mom, you just paid me 600 yuan for breaking off the engagement. I can't take this anymore."
"Then the six hundred yuan will be the betrothal gift, and the eight hundred yuan is a meeting gift from your father and me. Take it!"
Seeing them pushing each other back and forth, Huo Qingci said, "Lin Man, take it. My mother doesn't need money."
Xiao Ya glared at Huo Qingci in anger and chuckled softly, "You kid."
Lin Man also smiled and accepted the money. She slowly took out a small yellow croaker weighing about 31 grams from her schoolbag and handed it to Xiao Ya, "Mom, please accept this. The money for severing ties should have been paid by me."
After she severed ties with the Lin family today, she married Huo Qingci with a single man. Although her parents-in-law seemed easy to talk to, how could she possibly allow people to gossip about her?
Even if she really left the Lin family with nothing, she had the confidence. With trillions of resources in her possession, who in this world was richer than her?
Xiao Ya stuffed the small yellow croaker back into Lin Man's hands and said, "Man Man, where did you get this small yellow croaker? If the Lin family knew, would they cause trouble for you?"
"Mom, these yellow croakers are not theirs. They don't know I have them."
"Then where did you get this little yellow croaker?"
"Two years ago during the summer vacation, I went to the countryside to help my grandparents collect grass for their pigs in the mountains. When I was done, I took a small rake to dig wild vegetables and found a small jar. At first I thought it was wine, but who knew there were a few small yellow croakers inside."
Lin Man lied with her eyes open. She said it on purpose just to tell them that although she was kicked out of the house, she was not actually that poor.
Xiao Ya exclaimed, "Ah, you are a lucky child. You can even find small yellow croakers when you go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
You must hide those small yellow croakers and never take them out. Wait until the situation improves before taking them out."
"Yeah, I understand."
Fifteen years ago, many wealthy people died in the land reform. Xiao Ya and Huo Junshan suspected that Lin Man was lucky enough to have dug up the treasures hidden by those local wealthy people while digging wild vegetables in the mountains.
The Huo family also has a lot of gold and antiques, but fifteen years ago they were all hidden in the basement of their courtyard house.
In order to prevent outsiders from discovering that they had a basement, they built a three-meter-long and two-meter-wide rectangular storage cabinet with red bricks at the entrance of the basement.
The storage cabinet is covered with thick wooden boards, which can not only be used for storage but also as a bed.
Seeing that Xiao Ya really didn't want her little yellow croaker, Lin Man thought that she was a very good mother-in-law, and she planned to be filial to her in the future.
Xiao Ya asked Lin Man to keep the money and the small yellow croaker, and then told the driver to drive to the department store.
She took Lin Man out of the car and asked with a smile, "Shall we go eat first, or go shopping first?"
Huo Qingci said, "Mom, I bought two skirts for Lin Man, as well as towels, toothbrushes, and washbasins. Let's eat first!"

"I know, but this is definitely not enough. The Lin family doesn't allow Manman to take their things, and you didn't buy her any underwear."
Huo Qingci blushed and said awkwardly, "Then you guys take your time shopping. Dad and I will go buy some fruit and candy. Aren't we treating our family to dinner tonight?"
Xiao Ya also noticed that her son was embarrassed, so she nodded and said, "You bought a pound of candy before, so just buy another pound. Manman is so thin, buy her two cans of malted milk to nourish her body."
"good?"
The gentle and refined Huo Junshan walked up to Xiao Ya and asked, "Xiao Ya, after shopping, let's go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, how about that?"
Xiao Ya looked at Lin Man and asked, "Does Manman like roast duck?"
"I'm fine with either."
Xiao Ya decided, "Then let's go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, and then pack two for dinner.
Qingci's two uncles and aunt will be back tonight, and my two brothers and parents will also be here. You can just wait to receive the gifts from the elders."
What a good child, how could he end up in such a family? Xiao Ya couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Manman was very tall, but her mother looked less than 1.6 meters tall, and her father was about the same height as Manman. Xiao Ya couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Manman wasn't a child of the Lin family?
She stared at Manman's face, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed. It seemed like she had seen those big almond-shaped eyes somewhere before.
But why can't she remember it at the critical moment?
While thinking about this, Xiao Ya pulled Lin Man to the third floor, first to the place where underwear was sold, intending to buy her a few sets of underwear.
Lin Man has big breasts. Before she traveled through time, she only wore a small vest that she specially made for herself, trying to cover her breasts so that they didn't look that firm.
After putting it on, she was wearing a thin bra with a cup size of 34D. Although she was thin, she had a very good figure.
The cotton vests sold in department stores look very thin, and if you wear them, they will probably be a bit see-through inside.
Xiao Ya didn't care about anything else and just bought whatever she liked. She bought three pieces at a time and chose four or five pairs of underwear.
After buying her underwear, I took her to buy two sets of pure cotton pajamas, two white pure cotton shirts, and a blue ruffled skirt. I also wanted to buy her a pair of pants, but found that we didn't have enough cloth coupons.
"Manman, wait until your father and I have enough cloth coupons and we'll send them to you."
"Mom, keep it for yourself."
"Come on, Mom will take you to buy skin care products. I heard that the island is sometimes humid and windy, which can dry out your skin easily. Let's buy two more boxes of vanishing cream to take to the island."
Xiao Ya held her bag and clothing bag in her left hand, and pulled Lin Man towards the cosmetics counter with her right hand.
"Comrade, two boxes of Ya Cream, three boxes of Wan Zi Qian Hong Body Cream, and a lipstick."
Lin Man hurriedly stopped him, "Mom, there's no need to buy so much. There should be a supply and marketing cooperative on the island."
Wang Yan looked up sharply when she heard the familiar voice. "Why is it you? You stole my blind date and came to our counter to buy something? You're so shameless!"
It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. Lin Man didn't expect that her luck would be so bad that she actually met Huo Qingci's blind date in the department store.
Lin Man was still wondering whether she should act like a lady in front of her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect her gentle and kind mother-in-law to suddenly lose her temper.
"Comrade, what do you mean? Why can't we come to this counter to buy things? Tell me! Also, I said my daughter-in-law stole your blind date?"
"Daughter-in-law? You are this lady's daughter-in-law. You are already married, and yet you went on a blind date with Comrade Huo Qingci yesterday?"
