The car stopped in front of Wu Sicheng's house, and a group of people not far from their house finally spotted Wu Sicheng and An Moxue getting out of the car.
Yang Lin nudged Gui Xiang beside her and whispered, "Gui Xiang, look, isn't that Cheng from Lao Wu's family? Could that girl be his rumored girlfriend?"
Although she lowered her voice, the five or six people around her all heard her question and looked in the direction she was looking.
"This girl is really beautiful!"
"She's much prettier than that Li Jingjing."
"She has a good temperament too."
"According to Cheng's mother, his parents were both martyrs, a family of loyal martyrs, and quite famous at that."
"Did they mention any names? Perhaps we've heard of them before."
"No, Xiuyu's words were full of praise, so she must be no ordinary person."
"Look, they took quite a lot of things, in bags and packages."
"They're dressed well; they're obviously not short of money."
Some people were thinking too much, their eyes darting around, but they swallowed their words and decided to wait and see. Everything would become clear in due time. Everyone living here has their own tricks up their sleeves.
"This Cheng is not young anymore. In our courtyard, there are only three people his age who are still unmarried, including him. Cheng has already brought his girlfriend to meet his parents. Only the eldest son of the Cui family and the third son of the Yu family are left."
"That's right. Just look at how happy Xiuyu was the other day, and you can understand, especially since they only have Cheng."
"That's right, especially since the eldest son's family doesn't have any children yet, and Xiuyu's second branch only has Cheng as their only son, so they can't help but be even more anxious."
As they were talking, the Wu family's guards and nanny came out to help carry their things. Wu Sicheng's mother and father also came out, both with smiles on their faces.
"Just by looking at Zhengcheng and Xiuyu, you can tell they are very satisfied with this daughter-in-law."
"Yeah, he used to say he had a girlfriend a long time ago, and I thought he was just making excuses! But now it seems that's not necessarily true."
"Didn't Xiuyu say that the two of them have known each other for a long time? In fact, it was that young lady who saved their Cheng's life several times!"
"If this is true, given the life-saving grace, the Wu family will dote on this future daughter-in-law even more, especially since Xiuyu and her husband are both grateful and sentimental people."
"That's right."
As they were talking, Wu Sicheng, An Moxue, Wu Zhengcheng, and Xiuyu entered the house. Grandpa Wu was sitting on the sofa. When he saw the people coming in, he smiled gently at An Moxue and spoke first before Wu Sicheng could introduce them, "Comrade An, we meet again."
An Moxue feigned surprise, glancing at Grandpa Wu and then at Wu Sicheng, before suddenly realizing what she'd done. She straightened up, gave a military salute, and said, "Greetings, Commander!"
Grandpa Wu said, "Look how energetic you are! Now that we're home, let's talk about our personal relationship. Shouldn't you call me Grandpa?"
An Moxue readily agreed, "Hello, Grandpa."
"Sigh! Now that you've called me Grandpa, you have to accept this red envelope." Grandpa Wu said, taking a thick red envelope from his bag and handing it to An Moxue, then said, "Sit down and let's talk."
An Moxue glanced at Wu Sicheng, and seeing him nod, she put down what she was holding, accepted the red envelope with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa." Everyone in the room saw this small gesture of hers and was even more satisfied.
After everyone sat down, Wu Sicheng's mother took out a red envelope and handed it to An Moxue. An Moxue glanced at Wu Sicheng, which was noticed by Xiuyu, who said, "Take it, it's for you, don't look at him." Then she forcefully stuffed it into An Moxue's hand; it was a very thick red envelope.
Wu Sicheng's mother took one of An Moxue's hands, took off a bright green bracelet from her own hand, and put it on An Moxue's hand, saying, "I liked you the first time we met. This is a gift for meeting you."
An Moxue had barely moved her hand when she stopped her, saying, "A gift from an elder cannot be refused."
An Moxue smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. I also have a gift for you."
Then, An Moxue delivered the medicinal wine and tea for Grandpa Wu, the tea and tobacco for Wu Sicheng's father, and the skincare products and fabrics for Wu Sicheng's mother to each of them.
The Wu family members were even more impressed with An Moxue after seeing that the gifts were prepared according to each of their individual preferences and needs.
She was especially surprised when Wu Sicheng said that the medicinal wine he gave to Grandpa Wu was made by An Moxue herself. She had only heard Wu Sicheng say that the child knew some medical knowledge before, but she did not expect that he could also make medicinal wine.
Finally, Wu Sicheng added, "Grandpa, you might as well have a small cup with your meal later, but no more than an ounce, and you'll know the benefits of this medicinal wine."
Because of this medicinal wine, Grandpa Wu couldn't help but show it off to some of his old friends, which aroused their curiosity. In the days that followed, he was frequently harassed by his old friends who came to ask for the medicinal wine. When they refused, they even resorted to physical violence or outright robbery.
When An Moxue found out, she was both amused and exasperated. So she started sending them a lot of medicinal wine every year. This made things much smoother for her and Wu Sicheng in their work in the future, and no one ever took credit for their work.
Xiuyu and Wu Zhengcheng were meeting An Moxue for the first time because of their son. Although they had known about her background before, they realized that the photos in the investigation did not show her true beauty. She was a person who would attract everyone's attention at first glance. Standing next to her son, she was not overshadowed by him at all. On the contrary, the two of them looked like a perfect match.
The couple exchanged a glance, conveying a tacit understanding unique to them; a single look was enough for them to know each other's feelings.
Xiuyu sat down next to An Moxue, holding her hand, looking at her with obvious affection. "Moxue! I've been waiting year after year, and finally, my good-for-nothing son has brought you home! You must come often! When you're free, let's go shopping together, and we can invite your Aunt Qing too. She's told me so much about you, but that brat Cheng just wouldn't let me see you, saying it would bother you. I told him he's afraid I'll steal you away and interfere with your time together." Xiuyu finished speaking and glared at her son.
"Mom, you need to understand who you're closest to. Isn't that what you and Dad said? And I'm just doing what you told me to do."
An Moxue was completely confused by the obvious hidden meaning in Wu Sicheng and his mother's words.
Grandpa Wu said, "I heard that you're going to Kyoto University when school starts. It's a good thing that you're going to school; it's always good for young people to learn more."
An Moxue respectfully replied, "Yes, Grandpa, that's what I think too. When I was very young, my mother told me that there is no end to learning, and one should learn as long as one lives."
The two were enjoying each other's company in the living room when a discordant voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Xiuyu, did you do this? Come out here!"
