Ji Ling hung up the phone and simply cooked herself a bowl of hot noodle soup at noon. After eating, she cleaned the living room on the first floor.

After that, when the Zhu family still hadn't returned, Ji Ling went back downstairs to write a letter to her eldest brother.

There are some things in the letter that are always easy to say. She said that the mother-in-law was not arrogant and also mentioned that the mother-in-law pretended to be allergic. She wrote these just to reassure her eldest brother that she was living well in the Zhu family.

Finally, he asked him to give his address to Zheng Shi and Qian Xiangqian.

After writing the letter, Ji Ling put it in a book and planned to mail it on the day she reported to school.

At this time, she heard laughter downstairs, so Ji Ling went downstairs.

Zhu Weiyue and Zhu Heping were seen, both holding things in their hands. When they saw Ji Ling, they called her to come down.

"Sister-in-law, come and see if you like it?" Zhu Heping smiled and told her about their trip to the mall to buy things for her.

Then the two of them took out all the things they bought and placed them on the coffee table. There was a thermos for drinking water, skin cream and shampoo, and they even bought small things like socks.

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment when she saw all this.

Zhu Weiao said, "I was waiting for you in the new house this morning. I just happened to come to install the phone. As soon as the phone went through, I called the old house. My eldest brother told me to buy all the things my sister-in-law needs for school. The list was drawn up by my eldest brother, and the money was also his. My sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite to us. We are just helping her buy them."

Zhu Heping was also asked to run errands.

He also didn't expect that his elder brother was so thoughtful and had thought of all these things.

Ji Ling thought about the call she had just made to Zhu Weidong, but he didn't mention anything on the phone. She didn't expect that he had told her so many things in private.

"Thank you both for your hard work. Have you had lunch?"

"We had noodles with soybean paste outside. I believe you have never had it before, sister-in-law? Let's go out for dinner tonight." Zhu Heping suggested immediately.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "We've already eaten lunch, so come back later when you have time. I'll make whatever you want for dinner."

"Anything goes." The two of them were not picky.

Ji Ling said, "Then I'll take the things upstairs and go out to buy groceries now."

Then he asked the two of them to ask Zhu Weiming whether he would come back for dinner. As for the mother-in-law, there was no need to ask. The mother-in-law was on duty these days. She had originally said that she would send Ji Ling to report, but now she couldn't.

"Let Heping go buy vegetables." Zhu Weiyue was worried.

His eldest brother told them on the phone not to leave his sister-in-law alone if possible and to be on guard against that bastard Kang Xiaohua.

Ji Ling thought about what they were worried about and refused, "You can't stay with me forever, I'll just go out to buy some food, nothing will happen in broad daylight."

Seeing that the two were worried, he added, "I met Kang Xiaohua in the afternoon. He didn't say anything, and didn't embarrass me."

The two had already stood up when they heard Kang Xiaohua, and they were relieved when they heard that the other party did nothing.

Ji Ling went out carrying a basket of vegetables. She had been to the bookstore these two days and was familiar with the area nearby, so she knew where the vegetable market was.

The eldest son of the Zhu family got married and now goes to buy vegetables with a basket. People in the compound find it novel. In all these years, they could only see the men of the Zhu family going out to buy vegetables, but had never seen Kong Siya buy vegetables.

So this was the first time I saw the women from the Zhu family go shopping for groceries.

The people living in the compound were not simple people. After seeing this scene, no one looked down on Ji Ling. Instead, they felt that the Zhu family was now more down-to-earth.

Ji Ling met Zhu Weiming when she was leaving the compound gate. When he heard that Ji Ling was going to buy vegetables, he didn't say much and followed Ji Ling.

The two of them walked into the vegetable market together, and Ji Ling asked Zhu Weiming about his family's tastes and their favorite dishes. Zhu Weiming was usually quiet and cold, and was the most like Zhu Weidong. At this time, he was very patient with Ji Ling's questions and even helped Ji Ling carry the vegetables.

The cold and handsome young man seemed to be out of touch with the world, but he would smile from time to time because of the girl beside him.

He Tong followed secretly behind, and every time he saw this scene, he would unconsciously clench his fists, and look at Ji Ling with resentment.

After returning to Zhu's house, Ji Ling went into the kitchen. Zhu Weiyue followed her in to help, but was driven out by Ji Ling.

The three Zhu Weiyue brothers in the living room were also restless. This was the first time that a woman had been allowed to go into the kitchen while they waited for food.

I feel so awkward all over.

Ji Ling first stewed the braised pork, then stewed the fish in another pot, and finally cut the meat into stir-fry and cold dishes. After the fish was out of the pot, she started to stir-fry. The braised pork was the last to be served and melted in the mouth.

Four dishes were placed on the table. Zhu Weiyue was the first to pick up his chopsticks. After eating, his eyes widened twice, "Sister-in-law, when my eldest brother comes back, I will go to your house for dinner every day."

Zhu Heping and Zhu Weiming didn't say anything, they just focused on eating.

Halfway through the meal, the doorbell rang.

Ji Ling ate quickly. She went to open the door and saw He Tong standing outside with a plate of chicken in his hand.

"My mother asked me to deliver the dishes." He Tong walked in carrying the dishes.

Ji Ling stepped aside and watched He Tong go straight to the dining table. As soon as he entered, a voice full of disgust came out, "So much meat, won't you feel sick of it? My mother said that for the sake of health, it is better to eat less fatty meat."

"Who let you in? Get out." Zhu Heping cursed.

"It's not your house." He Tong put down the dish, "Wei Ming, my mom knows you love chicken, so she asked me to bring you a plate right after it comes out of the pot. Eat it while it's hot."

"Can't you understand what people are saying?"

"Zhu Heping, I didn't ask you to eat, why do you care about me?"

"Take your food and get out."

"Zhu Weiming, I can leave. My mother sent the food here. You don't have to send it back by yourself."

Ji Ling did not go in. She first saw Zhu Weiming carrying the dishes and walking out, and then He Tong chased out from behind. She was angry and trotted past Zhu Weiming and left Zhu's house first.

Ji Ling: This may be the legendary persistence.

Zhu Weiyue walked out of the restaurant and said, "You'll get used to it in the future."

The Zhu family was not surprised and Ji Ling did not ask any further questions.

What Ji Ling didn't know was that He Tong had delivered food to her home before, but it had never been returned. This was the first time that the food was returned.

Zhu Weiming is back.

However, the atmosphere in the He family was not good.

Xu Yan's face turned pale and red, "I told you not to send me off, but you didn't listen. Now you've embarrassed us along with you."

He Tong didn't care. "Zhu Weiming sent it back just to show it to that woman. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent it back. If anyone is to blame, it should be that woman."

"He Tong." Old Master He clapped his chopsticks. "What did I teach you? You don't know any manners. That woman? Which woman?"

This time, He Tong's face turned pale and he lowered his head obediently.

Xu Yan despised her daughter for bringing shame upon herself and didn't want to say anything more. She advised her father-in-law, "Dad, calm down and wait for He Zhong to come back and let him take care of it."

Old Master He said coldly, "You are not allowed to go to the Zhu family for no reason in the future, and you are not allowed to follow the five boys of the Zhu family. Girls should be reserved. Remember?"

He Tong wiped his tears aggrievedly and said in a low voice that he understood. Only then did Mr. He pick up the chopsticks again.
