Zhang Xiu saw through Zhang's mother's thoughts at a glance, and thought to herself that her sister-in-law was too unpresentable. Now that the Lin family is doing better and better, and she is Lin Rui's mother-in-law, how can she get less in the future?
Don't worry about those little profits now. Can you get rich? Maybe you will lose the fat meat right in front of your mouth.
To cover up Zhang's mother's greed, she changed the subject, "Lin Rui and Lin Feng, in order to entertain you, we didn't go out to sell snails today, so we missed out on making a lot of money."
Father Zhang nodded and said, "Don't do this next time. Business is more important. We are not outsiders anymore. Just come to our house and have some home-cooked meals."
Although this is what they said, everyone understood that if the Lin family was really so casual, the Zhang family would definitely find fault and think that the Lin family did not take them seriously.
Lin Rui was not a smooth talker and was rather direct in his words. When he heard what Zhang's father said, he said directly: "My eldest brother said that this is your first time coming to our house, so we have to treat you well. If we prepare it after we come back from selling snails, we won't have enough time."
They were all from the same village, and they weren't used to hearing too much flattery. Father Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Rui's words. He praised him, "Your eldest brother is very polite."
When Lin Rui heard this, he immediately followed suit and praised Lin Feng, "My parents are gone, and we were all raised by my eldest brother. Before we started selling snails, it was my eldest brother who worked in the city and supported us."
To Lin Rui, Lin Feng is like a father.
Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother asked with a smile, "Has anyone introduced your eldest brother to anyone recently? Is there a girl your eldest brother likes? What kind of wife is he looking for?"
The meaning of the words is very clear.
Zhang Xiaoling pricked up her ears and waited for Lin Rui's answer, but the expressions on Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiaoling's faces were not very good.
Lin Rui was a simple-minded man with no ulterior motives. He had no idea what Zhang's mother was thinking. He thought Zhang's mother was just asking casually, so he said.
"My eldest brother doesn't have any girl he likes. He said he doesn't want to date right now."
When Zhang's mother heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she couldn't stop smiling. "Your eldest brother just hasn't met the right person yet. When he does, you can see if he's willing to date."
"My eldest brother is a man of his word. He really doesn't want to find a partner right now." Lin Rui said.
Mother Zhang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhang Xiaojuan, "Mom, don't worry about big brother's affairs. If he wants to find a wife, is he worried about not being able to find one?"
Lin Feng is good-looking and his family is well-off now. I wonder how many people want to marry him.
Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Xiaojuan in dissatisfaction. Because Lin Rui was present, she did not blame Zhang Xiaojuan, but she secretly scolded Zhang Xiaojuan for being ignorant in her heart.
After chatting about other things for a while, Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoxiao cooked the meal and called everyone to prepare to eat. The small table at home could not seat so many people, so they specially borrowed a large octagonal table from Zhang Xiu's house.
Looking at the table full of dishes, including fish and meat, Zhang's mother and father were very happy. Firstly, their vanity was greatly satisfied, and secondly, these dishes were better than those at the banquet.
I have lived to this age, but I have never eaten such a large table of delicious food in one go. When I return to the village, I can show off for a long time. The only drawback is that this house is a bit shabby.
Lin Rui and Zhang Xiaojuan helped serve the dishes, Naibao helped with the chopsticks, while Zhang's father, Zhang's mother and Zhang Xiaoling sat in an orderly manner, like the masters, waiting to eat.
