It was almost time for lunch when Long Sheng returned home. Little Linglong was in a much better mood now because she and brother Long Sheng had a common little secret and Long Sheng had promised to make her his bride in the future. She no longer looked depressed and listless like before, which finally made Mrs. Ling feel a little relieved.
Otherwise, if it were still the same as before, then Old Madam Ling would be really worried.
Fortunately, everything is fine now.
At noon, Mrs. Ling had lunch with her grandchildren. They had delicious and fragrant steamed noodles, which were chewy and tasty.
Even Xiao Linglong, who doesn't have a big appetite, ate a full bowl.
Just as I was finishing up, a customer arrived.
Quan Maosheng's mother.
"What a rare guest! How come you have so much free time to come to my place today?" Old Mrs. Ling said with a smile, "Aren't you busy preparing some gifts for your future son and daughter-in-law?"
Now the Quan family and the Liang family are very busy, busy buying houses and wedding gifts for their children. Old Mrs. Ling didn't expect that Quan Maosheng's mother had so much time today.
When Quan Maosheng's mother heard this, she burst into laughter:
"You see, I've been busy buying things for them lately, but now everything is almost done, and there's nothing else to do."
After all, the whole family is looking forward to Quan Maosheng getting married, so everyone is working very hard and is now just waiting to marry Liang Sanni.
so--
Now everything is ready, we just need to arrange the marriage and send the gifts and other things, and this occasion also requires the presence of Old Lady Ling as a matchmaker.
"Okay, I'm always available. Just let me know when you've decided on a time, and I'll go."
There is definitely no problem with Mrs. Ling. Who doesn't want to take part in such a happy event? She definitely has to go.
Quan Maosheng's mother smiled and patted Old Lady Ling's hand, saying, "Don't worry, you, the matchmaker, will definitely give me a red envelope when the time comes!"
"You're being ridiculous. This is such a small matter. Why would you give me a red envelope?" Mrs. Ling said. "As long as they can live well, I'll be relieved."
Quan Maosheng's mother said, "Whether it's necessary or not, we must give a red envelope anyway."
"I'll be frank with you. Getting married and getting engaged costs a lot of money, so I'll save as much as I can," said Mrs. Ling. "I don't need anything anyway."
"Don't worry about that. We've already prepared all the necessary gifts, so it won't be a loss of face!"
After waiting for a long time, they finally found such a good daughter-in-law. Quan Maosheng's family is definitely very generous and will never let Liang Sanni suffer any grievances.
"The bicycle, watch and radio have all been purchased. If Quan Maosheng hadn't known some people outside who could get these tickets, it would have been really troublesome," said Quan Maosheng's mother.
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Ling couldn't help but sigh that Quan Maosheng's family really had quite a lot of wealth.
"Why don't you have a sewing machine?"
After listening for a long time, Mrs. Ling realized that something seemed to be missing.
Quan Maosheng's mother smiled and said, "We already had a sewing machine at home, but it was rarely used. I even went to the Liang family to ask about this, and they said they didn't need the sewing machine anymore."
The Liang family is not one that cares much about these things, not to mention that the whole family already has a sewing machine. Even if they really don't prepare anything, it doesn't matter. After all, in the eyes of the Liang family, the other party is already quite sincere about other things.
"That's true. Since we already have it, let's not waste it." Mrs. Ling said, "It would be better to give the money to the young couple to live a good life in the future."
"I thought so too. I prepared 188 yuan for the betrothal gift," said Quan Maosheng's mother. "That should be about right."
In contrast, when Su Baoshan and Du Yuefeng got married, the betrothal gift in cash was cut in half, and there was no sewing machine or anything like that, only a bare watch.
But after all, Su Baoshan is getting married for the second time, and his family financial situation is relatively weak. The amount he can give is probably a lot.
The betrothal gift given by Quan Maosheng's mother was truly generous.
Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "Just for what you have given them, they must all live in peace and happiness to be worthy of your efforts."
Quan Maosheng's mother laughed and said, "As long as they are doing well, it doesn't matter to us."
When Old Lady Ling said this, she thought of something else——
"By the way, that Peilan...will she still show up when your family and the Liang family are getting engaged?"
Old Mrs. Ling didn't know that the whole family had "severed ties" with Quan Peilan before. She just thought that Quan Peilan was Quan Maosheng's only sister after all, and would also be Liang Sanni's only sister-in-law in the future, so she wondered if she would also attend the engagement.
When Quan Maosheng's mother heard this, she shook her head and said, "She definitely won't come."
Mrs. Ling was stunned for a moment: "Really? Don't you call her? After all, she..."
"Well, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, but actually, we had a huge argument last time. Before she left, she said she'd never come back..."
Quan Maosheng's mother gave a somewhat bitter smile.
She only has two children in her life. Quan Peilan is a girl and her whole family has always raised her in the palm of their hands.
Later, Quan Peilan insisted on marrying into the Niu family. Although the whole family strongly disagreed at the time, they all wished Quan Peilan the best afterwards.
It was nothing for them to suffer a little injustice, but who would have known that Quan Peilan, who had only lived in the town for a few years, would have undergone such a big change.
It really caught me off guard.
The conspiracy actually targeted Quan Maosheng.
The girl has already married and will not come back easily. For the whole family, Quan Maosheng is their only hope and the only child around them.
How could they let this child suffer any more?
Who knew that Quan Peilan would actually...
Thinking about it now, Quan Maosheng's mother feels dizzy and her face is full of bitter smile.
"I don't know how I raised such a daughter..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ling sighed for a long time.
"What can we do? Our main goal is to raise them. As for whether they will repay us or how much they can repay us, these are uncertain things."
"That child...sooner or later she'll regret it. Then she'll definitely understand that family is always the best."
Old Mrs. Ling gently patted Quan Maosheng's mother's shoulder to comfort her.
