Chapter 151: Where Did You Find Her? (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two madams didn’t say anything. They didn’t expect her, who usually didn’t have much to say, to be so clear-headed when it came to protecting her family.
Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Madam Lu lowered her eyes and continued watching the live-stream.
In the last three minutes of the competition, Meng Chuyuan folded the parts of the paper that could overlap so that she could cut two parts at the same time.
After using this method, Meng Chuyuan’s progress sped up a lot.
When the director announced that there was a minute and a half left, she had already put down the scissors. Not long after, the other two groups stopped.
The director walked into the live-stream with a small loudspeaker in his hand. He placed his hands on his back and looked like a leader patrolling. He went in front of the three groups of guests and looked at their works.
Qi Zhen’s group had only cut one complete piece. The rabbit ears had been cut unevenly, and the other hollow ornaments had not been handled properly. When one picked it up, they would find that it had been cut apart.
Liao Jiake’s paper-cutting was crude. Not only was her rabbit tail gone, but its little nose was also not visible. Liao Jiayan’s was slightly better. At least it was still rather stylish.
The director passed by and took a rough look, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He had given the guest enough time to cut the paper. This was not physical work and they were not exposed to the outdoor conditions. He did not expect their end product to be so perfunctory. It was obvious that they did not put their heart into it.
The director walked over with disappointment in his eyes. When he arrived at Meng Chuyuan’s side, the light in his eyes suddenly lit up again.
Because he saw a complete and decent paper-cutting. With regards to the paper-cutting that Meng Chuyuan had rushed out- whether it was the rabbit or the complicated decorations around it, there were no traces of them being destroyed by the scissors.
Lu Jinsen was the first guest to finish cutting the paper. He had plenty of time. Although there were many jagged corners in his cut-out, it did not affect the overall aesthetics.
The director finally came to Ting Jiu’s side. Ting Jiu held his paper-cutting with both hands and handed it over eagerly. “Director, take a look at my cut-out.” “Not bad.” The director nodded in satisfaction.
Ting Jiu and Lu Jinsen did not cut smoothly enough. At parts where they had to change the direction of their cutting, there were corners left protruding.
The director took out the small loudspeaker from behind and put it to his mouth. “I announce that the three of them have won today’s paper-cutting competition.”
Qi Yan’s paper was not cut nor drawn. In the end, their group could only come in last, so the second place was naturally the Liao twins.
[The Liao sister group are starting to smell like a thousand-year-old second place holder, hahahaha.]
[Sister Meng can easily win even with her two younger brothers. She’s really strong.]
[Little Jiu Jiu, what are you doing? With your expression, those who don’t know better would think that you specially wanted to give it to the director.] [Younger brother Qi Zhen was dragged down by Qi Yan. What a pitiful man and what an annoying woman.]
On the other hand, Madam Lu watched the end of the competition. After Meng Chuyuan’s group won, she smiled happily.
Madam Lu was afraid that the two madams beside her would not hear the announcement. The moment the director raised the small loudspeaker to announce the winner, she turned up the volume.
After the announcement, Madam Lu smiled and said to the two of them, “Look at how hardworking my children are.”
The madam who had been sitting there without saying anything for a long time, suddenly asked curiously, “Where did you find your eldest daughter-in-law? I just saw a video. The comments section was all praising her.”
Madam Lu narrowed her eyes and said, “I also want to know where Ah Ye found his wife.
To be precise, Lu Qingye had only two destinations in his daily life. When he woke up, he would go to the office, then he would go home after work. He usually didn’t participate in any big or small gatherings. All these years, she hadn’t seen him interact with any girls.
He suddenly called her one day and said, “Mom, I want to get married.”
At that time, Madam Lu did not take it to heart. She felt that it was normal for him to ask such a question at his age, so she answered him casually: If you want to get married, just get married. You’re already an adult, yet you still have to tell your Mom that you want to get married…
At that time, Madam Lu had even laughed at Lu Qingye, thinking that he was like a child without his own opinions. He even had to report to her about his marriage.
In less than three days, Meng Chuyuan appeared.
Madam Lu was really frightened by his speed, so when he brought Meng Chuyuan home for dinner that day, she was not prepared at all. Because her husband was not around, there was no one in this family to take charge of the situation, so she was a little embarrassed to come out and meet people. “Introduce your daughter-in-law to us another day. To be honest, I’ve been watching a few videos and the comments below are all complimenting her. I’m really curious. Is she really as good as they say?”
Madam Lu was inexplicably happy. She smiled gently and said, “She’ll be back tomorrow night. I’ll take the time to bring her out to meet you.”
