The Lin family waited eagerly for two days.
Two days later, the Lu family finally sent someone to invite the Lin family to their home to discuss Lin Wanwan and Lu Yunzhang's relationship.
"Going to the Lu family as guests?" Lin Dashan was so surprised that he stood up immediately. "Then hurry up and buy some things. We can't lose face."
Xu Fen's face was beaming with joy, and she quickly said, "Wanwan and I will go. She's familiar with the Lu family and knows their preferences."
"Mom, how about I keep you company?" Xiaoju diligently made Lin Wanwan a bowl of brown sugar and egg soup. She heard Xu Fen's words as she came out of the kitchen with the bowl in her hand, and looked at them expectantly.
When handing the bowl to Lin Wanwan, he added with concern, "Be careful, it's hot."
Lin Heping also said, "Mom, why don't you let Xiaoju come with you? At least she can help you carry things, so you and your sister won't get tired."
Lin Wanwan naturally enjoyed the compliments and flattery from her family, and nodded with a smile, "Then sister-in-law, come along."
Since she spoke, Xu Fen naturally had no reason to disagree.
He went inside to get the money and tickets, then took his daughter-in-law and daughter to the department store.
Xu Fen was prepared to spend a lot of money on this shopping trip.
Although the Lin family was just an ordinary working-class family, they couldn't afford to lose face in front of their future in-laws.
However, there was one thing she couldn't understand: "We are the woman, so logically, when discussing marriage, it should be the man who brings gifts to our door. Wanwan, does the Lu family have some other arrangements?"
The Lu family, with its illustrious lineage, should not lack manners.
Xu Fen couldn't think of any other reason why they would do this.
Lin Wanwan's expression stiffened slightly, but she recovered in a few seconds and said to Xu Fen, "I don't know either. The Lu family must have their reasons for doing this."
"Something's strange." Xu Fen felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
After hearing this, Xiaoju felt that her mother-in-law was overthinking it. "Mom, what kind of family is the Lu family? It's obvious that we're marrying up. As long as my sister-in-law can marry into the Lu family, we don't need to care about anything else."
Such a good marriage opportunity has many suitors eager to get it.
Only her mother-in-law still cared about etiquette at this point.
Xu Fen smiled again, "Yes, yes, as long as Wanwan's marriage to the young master of the Lu family goes through, nothing else matters."
"Wanwan, you can choose. Try to pick things that the Lu family likes."
Lin Wanwan followed Xu Fen to pick out gifts with a heavy heart, constantly rehearsing in her mind what the Lu family would say tomorrow.
The Lu family's reluctance to visit in person is definitely because she drugged Lu Yunzhang, a way of indirectly intimidating her.
It doesn't matter.
As long as she can marry into the Lu family and marry Lu Yunzhang, she doesn't care about these formalities.
After calming herself down, Lin Wanwan began to think about how to deal with the Lu family tomorrow.
After buying their things, the three of them came out of the department store with bags and packages.
Xiaoju carried most of the things, while Lin Wanwan carried nothing.
"Mom, isn't that Lin Xiaoxiao?" Lin Wanwan spotted the woman chatting and laughing with someone across the street, her eyes flashing as she gestured for Xu Fen to look.
Upon hearing the name Lin Xiaoxiao, Xu Fen felt an intense hatred that made her want to tear her to pieces.
"You fickle little slut." Following the direction Lin Wanwan was pointing, Xu Fen saw that the person chatting with Lin Xiaoxiao was a man and cursed.
"That guy doesn't seem to be Qin Yushen." Lin Wanwan's gaze lingered on Lin Xiaoxiao's increasingly delicate face, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, as she deliberately said.
"How come she has changed so much?" This was the first time Xiaoju had seen Lin Xiaoxiao after she got married. In her memory, Lin Xiaoxiao had always been a thin, timid person who never dared to look up when talking to people.
I never expected that getting married would be like a complete transformation.
If Xu Fen and Lin Wanwan hadn't both said that it was Lin Xiaoxiao, she probably wouldn't have recognized her even if she were standing right in front of her.
Xu Fen snorted disdainfully, "If it weren't for Wanwan's kind heart in giving up the marriage to her, that brat wouldn't have such a good life."
Xiaoju glanced at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, even though she had married into the Lin family after Lin Xiaoxiao had married someone else.
But Lin Xiaoxiao had heard some of the reasons why she married into the Qin family from Lin Heping.
The younger sister-in-law was like she was possessed, insisting on going to the countryside. The marriage with the Qin family couldn't be called off, and the father-in-law was unwilling to give up the opportunity to marry into the Qin family, so he forced Lin Xiaoxiao to marry into the family.
To get Lin Xiaoxiao to marry into the family, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law did a lot of beatings, scoldings, and threats.
Now, the conversation has shifted, and it's said that Lin Wanwan arranged the marriage. This mother-in-law of hers really has no memory at all; she thinks Lin Xiaoxiao is different from before.
Don't forget, it was Lin Xiaoxiao who arranged for her mother-in-law to take a few days to the frontier.
"Let's go! That little slut is married and still flirting with men outside. I want to see if the Qin family can still tolerate her." Xu Fen wished that Lin Xiaoxiao would be kicked out of the Qin family so that she could beat and scold her as she used to.
Even scratching Lin Xiaoxiao's face and breaking her legs wouldn't quell Xu Fen's anger.
Seeing that Lin Wanwan was about to suffer, Lin Wanwan felt secretly pleased.
The three of them walked aggressively toward the other side.
"I heard from Han Xiu that Yu Shen is a very good cook. I must try it myself when I have time. I just don't know if my sister-in-law will like it."
Lin Xiaoxiao waved generously, "Welcome, welcome! Whenever Brother Song has time, you can come anytime. I can afford to treat you to a simple home-cooked meal."
Song Shaohua said with a smile, "Then I'll have to make time to go and have a taste. That kid Han Xiu ate a meal at Yu Shen's place and has been bragging about it to me for days."
Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Shaohua met by chance.
Since we were all acquaintances, we stopped to say hello and chatted for a few minutes.
Song Shaohua expressed his regret that Luo Qingming canceled their cooperation, but he was still pleasantly surprised that Luo Qingming had helped him secure the market in J City after just one trip there.
Not only did they give Huo Jing a good price, they also rewarded Luo Qingming handsomely.
Speaking of Luo Qingming, Lin Xiaoxiao also missed him a little.
Aside from sending her a few letters and some money, she couldn't see him anywhere else.
I was still in J City a while ago, but when I sent the next letter, it had already arrived in Guangzhou.
I heard that Huo Jing's mother has been found, but I don't know when she will be found, and I don't know if Luo Qingming will return to Beijing after she is found.
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed whenever she thought of this.
My younger brother is practically someone else's now.
"Sister-in-law, you can continue shopping. I have something to do here, so I'll be leaving now." Song Shaohua glanced at his watch, looking quite busy.
"Okay, take care, Brother Song." Lin Xiaoxiao knew that he, the black market boss, was a very busy man, so she nodded to show her understanding.
Before Song Shaohua could take two steps after turning around, he was confronted by a middle-aged woman with a fierce look in her eyes, who was not exactly friendly as she sized him up.
The inexplicable hostility made Song Shaohua glance at her a couple more times.
"What are you looking at, you adulterers?"
Song Shaohua: "......"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head and was speechless.
