Who dares to say her son lacks prospects?
If Shengzi really settles down in the furniture factory, Hu Aihong feels that his future is bound to be limitless.
In the past year, watching Xu Qinghe’s family live a prosperous life, Hu Aihong always felt that if Shengzi could be associated with Xu Qinghe’s family, his future would also be prosperous.
Liu Sanmei left unhappy, but Hu Aihong didn’t care that much. In the evening, she made several lavish dishes, including a bowl of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and kept adding food to Zou Sheng’s plate, startling him with the favor.
When Hu Aihong gave birth to Zou Sheng, she was physically injured and had only this one son. Being a person of pride who commanded with absolute authority at home, she was strict with the child. Instead of raising Zou Sheng to be fearless, she raised him to be especially honest.
Hu Aihong wanted to correct this, but as the child grew older, it was not so easy to change an established nature.
"Mom, I have enough; you should eat too," Zou Sheng said, looking at the piled-up meat in his bowl, feeling that Hu Aihong’s smiles today were somewhat eerie.
Today, having managed to anger Liu Sanmei, Hu Aihong couldn’t be more pleased. She said, "Son, follow your Uncle Qinghe and work hard. Make sure you don’t let him fire you."
He wasn’t a head of cabbage, was he? What was this about being wanted or not?
He tried hard to remember the day at the furniture factory; he had worked quite well. What was going on with his mother today?
In the county, Xu Nianhua did not wait for Liu Sanmei and her family; instead, Zhou He’s mother and her brother Zhou Qiang came.
With Zhou He’s pregnancy advanced, her large belly was a cause for concern. Therefore, under the strong opposition from her family, she stayed at home. This was convenient as Xu Nianhua was also translating documents. Zhou He knit at home and listened to the radio, leading a pleasant life.
The radio was bought the day before yesterday when Xu Nianji accompanied Ling Dong to deliver goods to South City to help Zhou He pass the time.
When Zhou He received the radio, her heart fluttered, fearing her mother-in-law might think they were wasting money.
But Ji Ying was very open-minded, insisting that they should have bought the radio sooner and assuring Zhou He to accept it without worry.
"Mom, how come you’re here?" Zhou He was surprised to see her own mother and brother, putting down her knitting to stand up.
Just as the door opened, Xu Nianhua hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, please stay seated, I’ll pour some water."
"Aunt, please come in and take a seat," Xu Nianhua efficiently entertained Zhou He’s family. She brought two cups of water, and also took out the sunflower seeds, peanuts, and biscuits that had been bought for hosting guests.
Ji Ying bought these snacks especially for her, afraid she’d be bored at home.
"You must be Nianji’s sister, right? I heard you’re a university student, and you really are beautiful," Zhou He’s mother looked Xu Nianhua up and down. Even though the Xu family hadn’t held a banquet, many people knew that the Xu siblings had gone to university.
Especially since the Zhou Family and Xu Family were related by marriage, this was even well known.
"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt," Xu Nianhua replied with an embarrassed but polite smile. She got up and said, "Aunt, why don’t you stay for dinner? I’ll go call my mom back."
With that, Xu Nianhua walked outside to find Ji Ying.
Although she didn’t like the maternal relatives of Zhou He, finding them too mercenary, when they came to visit, they had to be entertained.
