Zhou Chuyu? Dai Qiongying thought the name sounded familiar. Wasn't she the transfer student who got first place in the grade and looked like a fairy? She had even asked her to tutor Zuo Ran. How did she end up with Dai Donglin?
Dai Qiongying had a good impression of Chu Yu, but the Dai family was not an ordinary family, and marriage was not something that the younger generation could decide.
There's no other way; if the younger generation's marriage isn't handled well, it's easy for them to lose power. To maintain their existing interests, family members will contribute to the family within their capabilities.
You can't just enjoy the glory brought by your family without wanting to contribute anything, can you?
Zhou's family is of average means. Although he has good grades, every girl who wants to go on a blind date with Dai Donglin and become in-laws with the Dai family is beautiful, tall, and well-educated.
They also come from a well-off family.
Chu Yu is still a student, and her parents are from rural areas. What can she possibly help the Dai family with? She might even drag them down and make them a laughing stock in the industry.
Marriage is a matter between two families. Dai Donglin was too arrogant, and Dai Qiongying felt that he had not thought things through when it came to dating.
Zuo Ran knew exactly what his mother was thinking, so he deliberately laughed it off:
"My brother is really something, an old cow eating young grass, setting his hands on a high school student. Chu Yu is the same age as me, but I have to call her sister-in-law, is there any justice in this world?"
Dai Qiongying got angry just looking at him. "You failed your exams, skipped school to spend all your time at the skating rink, and still come home wanting food and drink. You're all talk and no action. Chu Yu can get first place in the grade, why can't you? Are you less intelligent than him? Don't go anywhere for the rest of the month. Stay home and study! If you don't get into a good school, see how I deal with you!"
Zuo Ran was scolded and ran away in a sorry state.
The college entrance examination is a big deal, so Deng Fangping raised thirty old hens six months in advance just to stew them for her.
Chicken soup is simmered in an earthenware pot with goji berries and ginseng. The resulting soup is golden and fragrant, and incredibly delicious.
"Here, have both chicken drumsticks. Drink more soup and get some extra nutrition."
Deng Fangping dared not mention the words "college entrance examination," fearing that Chu Yu would feel pressured.
The whole family was on high alert, but she herself seemed completely unaffected.
Shu Hui served Chu Yu a bowl of soup, but gave one chicken leg to Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang glanced at his mother's face and saw that she was about to hit him, but he didn't dare to reach out. Shu Hui forcibly put the chicken leg in his bowl.
"Xiao Jiang is still young, so he should eat well. You kids can share the chicken wings and stuff."
The family doesn't discriminate against boys over girls, so the children don't care about such a small matter. Besides, the family owns a shop and eats meat every day. Over the past year, everyone has gained weight, and Chu Xiang and Shu Lan are both clamoring to lose weight.
The new store opened over the weekend.
