"Come in and sit down! Lunch is ready. We'll serve it when your cousin and his family come back!"
Seeing Sui Yuzhu coming to the door with something again, Lu Mei showed a look of anger on her face.
"My child, I'm so happy when you come. You always bring something with you!" Lu Mei said, "Don't bring anything with you next time. You don't have any parents to help you. Save your spare money and use it as a dowry for yourself in the future!"
After a pause, he continued, "With money in hand, you will be confident and not afraid of being looked down upon by your in-laws."
This has been her experience for many years.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others.
After hearing her words, Sui Yuzhu asked, "Cousin, have you ever thought about going out and finding something to do?"
When Lu Mei heard this, she quickly smiled and waved her hands: "Well, I'm so old and I don't know anything. What company would want me?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Song Xinhua who was playing by himself, "Besides, this kid hasn't started school yet. Even if I want to go out and find something to do, I have to wait until she starts school."
Hearing his mother mention him, Song Xinhua raised his little face and looked at his mother.
The dirty little face smiled at his mother.
Sui Yuzhu looked at her dirty little face and couldn't help laughing.
This little kid is well-behaved, but he always gets himself dirty.
Seeing her like this, Lu Mei scolded her: "You little girl, I just wiped your face and you made it dirty again!"
As he said that, he turned around and got a towel to wipe her face clean.
Sui Yuzhu took out some candy from her pocket and put it in Song Xinhua's hand.
Song Xinhua replied sweetly, "Thank you, sister!"
When Sui Yuzhu heard this voice, her heart almost melted. She took a step forward and gently pinched her face: "Be good."
He stood up and looked at Lu Mei again, "Cousin, are you free on Sunday?"
Lu Mei hung up the towel, turned around and looked over. She didn't answer, but just asked, "What's wrong?"
Sui Yuzhu glanced at Song Xinlan before speaking, "I'm getting engaged to Qin Yue. I don't have any parents around me right now. Qin Yue's parents know that I'm close to you, so they suggested that you become my elders and meet them."
Lu Mei felt that this was a big deal, so she didn't dare to respond immediately. She just said softly, "Wait until your cousin comes back, and I'll discuss it with him."
Sui Yuzhu responded.
After thinking for a while, he added: "You don't need to prepare anything. Qin Yue has prepared everything. When the time comes, we can just meet Qin Yue's parents and get to know each other."
Lu Mei understood the meaning behind her words and laughed a little embarrassedly: "Don't think too much, you are my niece, you are engaged and getting married, we should go and see it anyway!"
Since Sui Yuzhu had already spoken, she naturally had nothing to say.
But, I’m afraid red envelopes are inevitable again.
Sui Yuzhu glanced at her and knew what she was thinking.
She didn't intend for them to attend the engagement party, nor did she want to accept their red envelopes.
The main purpose was to invite Song Xinlan, and they were just there as a side job.
Their small family has a hard time, so she naturally won't accept their red envelopes.
After talking for a while, Song Defa and Song Weiguo also came back.
When Song Weiguo saw Sui Yuzhu in the yard, his smiling face instantly fell. He quickly put away the smile on his face, not daring to look at Sui Yuzhu again, and walked inside with his head lowered.
Song Defa scolded him: "You saw someone and didn't even scream?"
Song Weiguo paused, shouted in the direction of Sui Yuzhu, and then quickly walked into his room.
"It's time for dinner, why are you hiding in the house?" Lu Mei called him.
Song Weiguo looked back at Sui Yuzhu, and seeing the ambiguous expression on her face, his heart subconsciously trembled, and his body seemed to hurt again.
"Weiguo will have his midterm exam soon, right?" Sui Yuzhu said with a forced smile.
Song Weiguo lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.
Sui Yuzhu chuckled: "How many points did you get in each subject before?"
Song Weiguo murmured and said nothing.
Song Defa kicked him on the butt and scolded him, "I asked you a question, answer it!"
Seeing her husband beating the child again, Lu Mei glared at him angrily.
He originally wanted to say something, but after looking at Sui Yuzhu, he didn't know what he thought of, so he closed his mouth and didn't say anything.
Song Weiguo was afraid that he would be beaten by his father again, so he quickly ran to the yard and helped Lu Mei serve the dishes.
Song Defa snorted at his back: "You still have some conscience!"
At the dinner table, Lu Mei told Song Defa about Sui Yuzhu's engagement.
He also said that he would attend the engagement banquet as Sui Yuzhu's elder.
Song Defa looked at Sui Yuzhu and asked, "Yuzhu, you are about to get married. You can't be without your parents. Although we are your elders, we can't replace your parents. Do you want us to help you find your parents?"
Although Lu Mei's cousin and his family have moved out of Shanghai, it is still easy to find them if you really want to.
You can always find them by just going to the countryside and asking their neighbors and relatives.
Sui Yuzhu hurriedly shook her head: "No need! I don't want to see them again!"
Are you kidding me? If we really go and find them, what will happen? Wouldn't that expose our plan immediately?
"I no longer consider them my family. They're not even as close to me as you." Sui Yuzhu chose her words carefully. "You care about me, and I want you to be my family."
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Defa and Lu Mei looked at each other, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces.
To be honest, they just regarded Sui Yuzhu as a cousin who was not too close to them. They didn't expect that in her heart, she actually saw them in this way.
For a moment, they said nothing more.
After a moment's silence, Song Defa finally nodded and agreed: "Since you said so, then we will be your family!"
Hearing that Song Defa agreed, Sui Yuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qin Yue's parents said they can accommodate your schedule. When do you think you are free? Is this Sunday okay?" Sui Yuzhu asked again.
Song Defa nodded: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do on Sunday, so let's do it on Sunday!"
After agreeing on the time, Sui Yuzhu turned to look at Song Xinlan, who had been silent all the time, with joy in her eyes.
Although Song Xinlan didn't understand why Sui Yuzhu cared about her so much, she was also happy to see her happy.
