"Will they come today?" Old Sir Qin was a bit nervous.
Heaven knows that he used to face death on the battlefield without even blinking.
"They should... come," Qin Zhen’s tone was somewhat uncertain.
And he also seemed sleep-deprived.
Heaven knows he was still sleeping early in the morning, only to be woken up by his own father. When he checked the time, it was only four-thirty.
Jeez, this was like going out to train in the field in the middle of the night.
Was this even necessary?
With no other choice, he could only yawn and get up, then he sat here for several hours, enduring until the sky began to brighten.
Qin Xiangnan immediately glared at his son, "Can’t you speak properly? What do you mean ’they should definitely come’?"
"Yes, they will come." If Qin Ye didn’t show up, he would personally drag him here later. "They just got back yesterday, having sat on the train for so long, they must be tired. Plus, they had to tidy up the house and such, so they will be late. There’s no rush, let’s just wait for them. Or maybe we should go have breakfast first."
That would be even better if it allowed him to catch up on some sleep.
Qin Xiangnan agreed with this, "Then let’s have breakfast first."
Qin Zhen was relieved inside; at least he didn’t have to slump here anymore.
Meanwhile, the Rong Family was also making preparations.
Madam Rong was checking the things they needed to bring.
"The wine is here, and the local specialties from the countryside are also here... I think, how about we bring the pig’s trotters your father went out to buy early this morning?"
"No need, these are enough. Plus, with my nourishing pills, they should already be happy. There’s no need to bring the pig’s trotters. Maybe this way... Mom, why don’t you stew the trotters, and we can eat them when we get back tonight."
Lunch would definitely be eaten at the Qin Family’s.
Madam Rong ignored her, but turned to Qin Ye, "Xiao Qin, what do you think?"
Having been directly addressed, Qin Ye immediately said, "My wife is right, we’ll leave the pig’s trotters at home to eat."
Can you not always blow your wife’s trumpet? Can’t you have an opinion of your own?
Always listening to the wife.
Wenming also added, "Let’s do that. It’s too hot, and the meat might spoil if we bring it along. It’s better to just leave it and eat it ourselves."
Madam Rong rolled her eyes at him.
Listening to the wife is one thing, but now one has to listen to the daughter too.
"...Alright then, go on now! If you don’t leave now, the sun will get too hot."
"Alright, Mom." Qin Ye hurriedly responded and carried the stuff outside.
Qin Yu also picked something up and quickly followed.
As for Yan and Qin Mei... they didn’t carry anything and left lightly dressed.
Just as they stepped out of the main gate, they saw a jeep drive up and stop in front of the Rong Family house.
As soon as the car stopped, Qin Zhen climbed down from the driver’s seat.
When he saw Qin Ye and the others carrying gifts, his smile deepened a bit, confirming they were indeed preparing to go to the Qin Family.
"Qin Ye, sis-in-law, I’ve come to pick you up."
Then he warmly greeted Wenming and his wife, "Uncle Rong, Aunt Rong! My great-grandfather also asked me to come and invite you to the Qin Family for a meal."
Upon hearing this, Madam Rong quickly waved her hand, "Not this time, maybe next time."
Wenming also nodded, "Yes, we’ll visit Old Master Qin next time."
Seeing this, Qin Zhen had no choice but to leave it be, "Alright then. Uncle Rong, Aunt Rong, goodbye!"
Over here, Qin Ye and the others had already gotten into the car.
Yan and the siblings Qin Yu and Qin Mei squeezed into the back seats, while Qin Ye sat in the passenger seat.
Once Qin Zhen saw that everyone was settled, he stepped on the gas and reversed the car...
"Grandma, the one who just got on the car was Yan..." Rong Manman watched the departing car incredulously.
Grandma Rong frowned at her, "My eyesight isn’t gone yet."
"How could a car come to pick them up? Who are these people?" Rong Wenze, who came along, also couldn’t believe what he saw.
Just the man who got out of the car... one could tell from his demeanor that he was no ordinary person.
Besides, in this day and age, anyone who could drive such a sedan is definitely rich or noble.
Even the factory director at their factory only rides a second-class bicycle to and from work!
So... how could big brother and his family get to know such people?
No one answered him because Grandma Rong and Manman also didn’t know.
"Let’s go find the uncle first!" Manman had just seen that man... that was the country bumpkin Yan had married?
But the man didn’t look like a country bumpkin at all.
Wenze agreed with her, "Mother, let’s go!" His emotions were both excited and heavy.
Excited because his elder brother’s family actually knew such wealthy people.
Heavy because... why couldn’t it be his family with those connections?
The three of them walked to the Rong Family’s doorstep.
Just as Madam Rong was sending away the neighbors who had come over to snoop and was about to close the door, she saw her mother-in-law Grandma Rong and her son Wenze.
The smile on her face instantly vanished.
Wenming also saw them, and his expression darkened as well.
"Big brother, your health really recovered?" Seeing her eldest son, Grandma Rong widened her eyes.
Even though her eldest grandson had said so yesterday, she was still in disbelief, at least not expecting his health to look so good now.
Despite being angry at his biological mother and intending to ignore her, when he saw her looking much older, he couldn’t bring himself to not recognize her.
"...Mom, why are you here?"
Hearing him call her that, Madam Rong didn’t feel anything other than acknowledgment.
She could deny her mother-in-law, but she knew it was impossible for Wenming to not acknowledge his mother.
