"That's not true. There's no one exactly the same in the world. The only one who's exactly like my husband is him."
Wang Xiuxiu spoke calmly, glancing at the silent Lu Shishen, "How about this, we'll cut off a piece of our Shishen and let you taste it?"
Shen Youyou looked embarrassed.
Lu Shishen spoke slowly and deliberately: "Stop fooling around, let's eat."
His tone seemed to contain a smile.
At the opportune moment, Mr. Lu changed the subject, looking at Wang Xiuxiu and Xu Ruantang and asking, "Comrade Xu, do you work with Xiuxiu?"
Xu Ruantang smiled and nodded, "Yes."
What kind of shop is that?
Lu's mother coughed, trying to stop Lu's father from asking any more questions with her eyes.
Asking so many questions is somewhat impolite.
Mr. Lu wanted to know, so he asked his daughter-in-law after the guests left.
"It's a grocery store; there are already three branches."
Xu Ruantang didn't mind and answered directly.
Mr. Lu was somewhat surprised, "You own this shop?"
This young girl looks so young, is she really that capable?
Xu Ruantang quickly explained, "No, it's owned by our boss. Xiuxiu and I both work there."
Wang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Neither of them are high-profile people.
Besides, everything they said was the truth, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Mr. Lu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
She quickly added, "You must be very tired, right? Xiuxiu, you don't need to work so hard."
Mr. Lu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Lu's mother understood what Lu's father meant. "Your father means that if you don't want to work, you can stay at home. Shi Shen is very filial and has sent a lot of money home over the years. Your father and I have saved it all for you."
As she spoke, Lu's mother turned and went into the room, ignoring the fact that she was still eating.
Mr. Lu smiled apologetically at Xu Ruantang, "I'm sorry you had to see this. She's used to being so comfortable at home. She's an impatient person; she has to do things right away, otherwise she won't be able to eat properly."
Xu Ruantang really liked the way Lu's father and mother got along.
Mr. Lu understood his wife's eccentricities and didn't feel that her behavior made him lose face. Instead, he patiently explained.
Lu's mother quickly came out with the bankbook and stuffed it directly into Wang Xiuxiu's hand, saying, "Xiuxiu, take this!"
Wang Xiuxiu felt like she was holding a hot potato, wanting to throw it away, but reason stopped her.
Her first instinct was to go see Lu Shishen.
Lu Shishen nodded slightly, his expression indifferent. "If Mom gives it to you, just accept it."
"Keep it!" Mrs. Lu said firmly. "If you don't accept it, it means you have a problem with us old folks. This money originally belonged to you, so it's only right that you spend it."
"Yes, it's for Xiuxiu. As for Shishen, you can let him use it if you're happy, or spend it all yourself if you're not. Don't worry about him."
Mr. Lu chimed in.
Their son is such a worry, but now that he has such a wonderful wife, the old couple must help him keep her.
With his attitude, if he doesn't find a way, his wife will run away sooner or later!
Lu Shishen looked puzzled. He couldn't help but feel that his parents' gazes towards him were a little strange today.
It seems like they are very hostile towards him.
Xu Ruantang ate melons on the side, looking at this and that, and felt that the food in her hand tasted even better.
Being a bystander can actually improve a poor appetite!
When Lu's mother gave Wang Xiuxiu a savings account in front of everyone, she obviously had other intentions.
She did it all for Shen Youyou's benefit.
Lu's mother now wishes the whole compound knew that Wang Xiuxiu was the daughter-in-law chosen by the Lu family.
If anyone has any ideas, they should first see if the elderly couple agrees!
Wang Xiuxiu felt a pang of sadness; how could Lu Mutou have gotten such wonderful parents?
She had the original owner's memories; the original owner had clearly squandered all of Lu Shishen's allowances, so she had never sent any home.
Even if some were sent, it should only be a small portion.
Wang Xiuxiu suppressed the stinging in her eyes, lowered her head, and hummed in agreement.
Anyway, she won't touch the Lu family's things; she'll return them to Lu Shishen tonight.
Chen Youyou ate her meal quietly, her eyes occasionally glancing at Lu Shishen, her face showing obvious shyness. "Sister Xiuxiu, I really envy you, having such wonderful in-laws and husband."
Wang Xiuxiu picked up a piece of fatty meat without even glancing at Chen Youyou. "Yeah, I envy myself, but everyone has their own destiny, and there's no use in envying some things."
After she finished speaking, a large piece of fatty meat was placed into Lu Shishen's bowl.
Wang Xiuxiu mimicked Chen Youyou's tone, and said in a coquettish voice, "Shi Shen, look how thin you've become, eat more."
Shen Youyou's face turned green.
Lu Shishen finally stopped pretending to be calm and turned to look at Wang Xiuxiu.
He quickly picked up a piece of meat as well, saying, "You're the one who's lost weight."
Lu Shishen was telling the truth; Wang Xiuxiu was now completely unrecognizable from her former self.
She's incredibly tough on herself, and coupled with her busy training work recently, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her transformation.
Now, Wang Xiuxiu is tall, with a slender figure and a bright and elegant appearance.
Although not extremely thin, she is very healthy and looks full of energy.
Lu's mother secretly marveled, realizing that she had never noticed her daughter-in-law was so beautiful!
It was his burly son who was marrying above his station.
“Shi Shen is right, Xiu Xiu, eat more, look how thin you are.” Mother Lu also put food on Wang Xiu Xiu’s plate. “Listen to me, Shi Shen doesn’t like girls who are too thin. He used to say at home that he wanted to marry a plump girl!”
Lu's mother's words made everyone at the table laugh.
Wang Xiuxiu laughed along and turned to look at Lu Shishen.
I never expected that such a rigid person could say something so funny.
Shen Youyou didn't expect that the topic she started would eventually focus on Wang Xiuxiu, which made her so angry that she couldn't even eat her meal.
She poked the rice in the bowl until it was a mess.
After finishing their meal, Xu Ruantang and Wang Xiuxiu took the initiative to clean up.
Lu Shishen was also setting out bowls and chopsticks. "You all sit down, I'll wash them."
Normally, Wang Xiuxiu would have pulled Xu Ruantang away without looking back.
But since Mr. and Mrs. Lu are still alive today, the show must continue.
Wang Xiuxiu waved her hand, "No need, I'll do it. I still need to go out with Ruan Tang after I finish cleaning up."
She made a phone call and asked Huan Yuanliang to arrange for someone to come and pick up the artwork.
I'll also take Xu Ruantang home.
"I'll help Sister Xiuxiu."
Xu Ruantang echoed this sentiment.
However, Lu Shishen completely ignored what they were saying and went straight into the kitchen with his bowl and chopsticks.
Xu Ruantang and Wang Xiuxiu exchanged a glance, and both of them saw three words in each other's eyes: "This guy is completely unreasonable."
They can't even act the whole thing properly.
"Shi Shen, come out quickly."
Wang Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and walked towards the kitchen.
As she was about to enter the kitchen, the petite Shen Youyou squeezed her out of the kitchen doorway.
