Chapter 128: Lu Mingkai’s Cries were Especially Loud
After dinner, Wang Guizhi took Shen Meng into the house. She and Shen Fugui were very pleased with Lu Xiangxiang and also quite satisfied with Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying as in-laws. The main thing was that they were reasonable people. Since the family was reasonable, they naturally didn’t want to mistreat the girl. They were willing to provide everything that could be thought of.
"We can’t say that it’ll be better than others, but it definitely won’t be worse. If Xiangxiang also takes a liking to Xiaobin, we’re a hundred times willing on our end. Your two sisters-in-law are sensible people, too, and won’t fuss about whether Xiaobin’s wife gets more or less. Just let the family take a breather, and they’ll make up for what her parents provide later on, mother will absolutely be fair and just."
"It’s a good way of thinking on your part. I’ll ask Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying when I go back. But thankfully today is just a visit to relatives. Otherwise, if we went back, Xiangxiang’s troublesome second sister-in-law would start causing a scene again."
Wang Guizhi also let go of her worries. As long as Xiangxiang was willing to marry over, let her second sister-in-law make a scene if she wants. It wouldn’t concern them—she’s already married off. As her maternal sister-in-law, she couldn’t still be in control, could she?
"Let’s not bother with all of that. Her second sister-in-law is none of our concern. Just live our own lives well and let her cause trouble as much as she wants!"
On the way back, Uncle Guai and Aunt Juying couldn’t stop praising Shen Xiaobin to Shen Meng, saying he was tall, handsome, worked efficiently, and just seemed like a clever kid. Lu Xiangxiang, sitting in front of them, blushed crimson with embarrassment.
"How about it, Xiangxiang? What do you think of Xiaobin? If you think he’s alright, you should try getting to know him. No need to rush into an engagement or anything. You have to see if this person really suits your tastes."
Lu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and nodded ever so slightly. She didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Sister-in-law Meng’s words, but she wasn’t in a hurry to decide either. Shen Xiaobin really seemed quite nice, even better than the previous fiancé her family had arranged, especially with Sister-in-law Meng, a mature young lady like her. She had heard what Sister-in-law Qin Lan and Sister-in-law Xiao Mei had said.
