Chapter 104: Seeing Your Own Heart
Shen Meng’s face lit up with joy as she replied, "That sounds wonderful!"
"Indeed, your sister-in-law and the rest of the ladies have all met her. She’s quite tall, nimble with her hands, and a great worker. What’s most important is that she’s delicately pretty, speaks sweetly, and suits your little brother perfectly. Both of them have taken a fancy to each other, and they’re just waiting for the house to be finished to get engaged!"
"Mother is right; Xiao Mei and I went along too. Xiao Bin couldn’t stop grinning foolishly at her from the moment they set eyes on each other. She seems like a very honest girl."
Lv Qinlan spoke with genuine happiness. Now that the house was being built, once Xiao Bin’s marriage was settled, the next step would be to work hard to earn work points to pay off the family’s famine debt, and then they could live a steady life.
As long as the Shen Family was doing well, Shen Meng was happy.
Lunch was simple; Lv Qinlan served the dishes with a spoon, and Su Xiaomei distributed steamed cornbread. They all enjoyed a simple pot of stew, eating until they were drenched in sweat, feeling completely satisfied.
The most important reason for visiting the Shen Family today was to deliver the money for buying bricks and tiles. Wang Guizhi felt anxious seeing Lu Zhenping working so hard to help the Shen Family. Her son-in-law had been in the military for so many years; it wasn’t easy for him to finally come home. He should be making the most of his time with her daughter and ideally get Xiao Meng pregnant again so the couple could have more children.
The Shen Family was building a house, and the daughter and son-in-law were contributing both money and effort. If it were any other family, Wang Guizhi and Shen Fugui would have been overjoyed, but they felt ashamed, burdening them with their own construction.
