By doing this, Jiang Shushu not only expressed his importance to this meal, but also wanted to tell Yan's parents that the Jiang family was not short of money and could afford to support them.
Jiang Shushu had just finished tidying herself up when there was a knock on the door. Jiang Shushu looked at her watch. It was 3:55, just five minutes before the time she and Yan Beiyang had agreed on. Jiang Shushu knew that the person knocking on the door was Yan Beiyang.
Jiang Shushu opened the door? Yan Beiyang was stunned when he saw Jiang Shushu. Jiang Shushu was wearing a white shirt, a skirt, and a low ponytail. She looked particularly gentle and well-educated.
"Shushu, you look so beautiful today. This dress suits you so well, it's like it was tailor-made for you."
Jiang Shushu smiled happily, "Thank you for the compliment, I think it's beautiful too. I prepared it specially for dinner. It shouldn't be rude for me to go to your house for dinner dressed like this!"
Yan Beiyang was very happy to see Jiang Shushu attach so much importance to this family gathering. "No, no, it's very beautiful."
"That's good. Wait for me for a moment, I'll get something." After saying that, Jiang Shushu turned around and went back to the house to take the gift with him.
"Beiyang, this is a little gift I brought to your house. Please help me carry it while I lock the door."
"Shushu, you can just keep these and eat them. You don't need to bring them. I prepared everything this morning."
"You have to bring it. What you bought is different from what I bought. This is a token of my appreciation. It's not something expensive, so you can't refuse it! Auntie works so hard to cook for us, how can I come to your house empty-handed? If you don't let me bring a gift, I'd be embarrassed to go to your house for dinner."
Seeing Jiang Shushu say this, Yan Beiyang took the gift and said, "Then take it. Shushu, are you thoughtful? My parents will definitely be grinning from ear to ear when they see this gift from you."
"As long as uncle and aunt like it."
Jiang Shushu and Yan Beiyang went out together and took the bus to Yan Beiyang's house.
At this moment in the Yan family, the eldest sister-in-law Sun Xin and the second sister-in-law Li Miao were busy in the kitchen.
After seeing Dong Dayun leave, Li Miao said to Sun Xin, "No wonder we both took half a day off to help out at home. This time, my third brother really spent a lot of money on the meal. Look at all the chicken, duck, and fish. We didn't even eat this well during the Chinese New Year. When we came to visit our family back then, we didn't get treated this well. I have to take a good look at what our future third brother's wife looks like. Look at how precious my third brother is."
Sun Xin retracted her gaze. "To be favored by my third brother, she must be quite good. Otherwise, my third brother and my parents wouldn't pay so much attention to her."
Deep down, Sun Xin didn't want Yan Beiyang to get married. Yan Beiyang earned a lot and was generous. He was very good to the children of both families. Every year, Yan Beiyang bought the children's snacks and clothes. Sun Xin was afraid that if Yan Beiyang got married, his wife would have objections to Yan Beiyang spending money on her nephew and niece.
…
Li Miao didn't continue the conversation after hearing Sun Xin's pretentious words, fearing that she would fall into Sun Xin's trap and offend her future third brother's wife. The two sisters-in-law chatted about trivial matters while busy with their work.
In the main room, Dong Dayun was walking back and forth, giving Yan Weiguo a headache.
"Old lady, can you please sit down and wait? Why are you walking around? It makes me dizzy."
Dong Dayun rolled his eyes at Yan Weiguo, but sat down obediently. "I'm really nervous, aren't I? It's almost 4:40, why haven't they arrived yet?"
"They take the bus, and sometimes the bus is late. Isn't that normal? It will arrive when it's supposed to. There's no need to be nervous. You're acting like Beiyang can't find a wife. Calm down. It's not like you're meeting your daughter-in-law for the first time. Why are you so nervous?"
"Old woman, since Beiyang has chosen Jiang Shushu, don't discuss retirement issues at the dinner table later to avoid embarrassment. Even if retirement is necessary, it will be decades later. Who knows what will change? Why should we worry about it?"
"I see. That depends on what the girl is like. If she's a nice person, I won't mention it." If she's not a good person, I won't even let her into the house. What does it have to do with me whether she supports me or not?
Sun Xin, who was about to enter the door, stopped outside, with a thoughtful and unhappy look on his face.
Elderly care? What elderly care? Is my third brother planning to split up the family as soon as he gets married? That doesn't make sense. If they really split up, they would definitely talk about elderly care right away. Why would they wait for decades? If it's not for us to take care of the elderly, then the woman's family will take care of the elderly?
Does my future sister-in-law need to provide for her parents in their old age? But doesn't she already have an older brother? Why would she need to provide for them in their old age? No, I have to find out later. Why can't I provide for my mother in her old age, while my new wife can? If I realize Dayun treats me differently, I'll never forgive her.
Sun Xin turned and left.
Li Miao saw Sun Xin and asked, "Sister-in-law, Mom said this fish should be braised? Or steamed?
Sun Xin, who hadn't asked anything at all, was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "Braised."
At 4:50 in the afternoon, Jiang Shushu arrived at Yan's house.
Li Miao heard the noise and secretly poked half of his head out of the kitchen to look out. When he saw Jiang Shushu, his eyes widened.
Oh my God! My future sister-in-law is so beautiful. No wonder my third brother spent so much money on her. Look at this little face, white, smooth, tender, and with such a good figure. Even a woman like me would be moved, let alone a man.
After reading it, Li Miao immediately turned her head back and whispered to Sun Xin, "Sister-in-law, I just saw our future third sister-in-law. She's so beautiful, even prettier than our factory beauty. I've never seen anyone with skin as good as our future third sister-in-law's." Later, she would build a good relationship with her future third sister-in-law so that she could ask her what skincare products she used and how she could maintain such good skin.
Sun He: "Really? I'll have to meet you later."
…
Jiang Shushu followed Yan Beiyang to the main hall.
Yan Beiyang said happily at the door: "Mom and Dad, we are back."
Dong Dayun said with a smile: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Dad, Mom, this is the Shushu I told you about. Isn't she very gentle, pretty, and well-educated..."
Dong Dayun said with a smile: "Okay, stop talking. Mom and Dad have eyes to see. Xiao Jiang is indeed beautiful. Even an old woman like me can see the beauty. The best thing you did was to find such a good partner."
Jiang Shushu smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle, hello auntie, sorry to bother you."
Dong Dayun: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. Your uncle and I are so happy that you can come to our house."
