Chapter 257 - 248: Boy or Girl?
Su Ronggui came to discuss marriage seriously with Shu Hui, bringing gifts, being polite and considerate, hoping to get Shu Hui’s formal approval.
Tu Hengsha was completely taken by surprise, extremely delighted, sitting next to Su Ronggui, her eyes curving with smiles, sweetly waiting for Shu Hui to agree.
However, Shu Hui’s expression was so joyful, and after some contemplation, she said to Su Ronggui, "You want to marry Little Sha, so what do you plan to do next? According to our old customs, it’s supposed to be your family coming to propose, not you coming alone with gifts. Although you young people now value being trendy, in my opinion, my daughter is a treasure in my hand. She should be joyfully welcomed into a family, not become yours casually and yet go unblessed by your family. I hope Little Sha follows you to enjoy blessings in your family, not bear grievances."
"Mom..." Tu Hengsha quietly tugged at Shu Hui’s clothes, feeling her words were too blunt.
But Su Ronggui signaled her not to hurry and respectfully stated to Shu Hui, "Aunt Shu, since I’m here discussing this today, I’m naturally assured at heart. This is just a heads-up to you, after which I will have my family formally propose. Rest assured, I won’t let Little Sha suffer any grievances."
Shu Hui nodded, feeling satisfied, "It’s good you can keep your word."
"Certainly, Aunt Shu," he promised once again.
The dining atmosphere later was pretty good. Su Ronggui wasn’t much of a talker, while Shu Hui, thinking about how this lad was going to steal her precious daughter, felt a bit stuffy inside and occasionally had to scold him a little, but he listened good-humoredly with smiles, eating slowly, and even after the meal, he sipped two bowls of soup slowly before putting down his bowl. After dinner, Shu Hui brought out some fruit, which he ate quite a bit of.
It wasn’t until it was indeed getting a bit late, and Shu Hui yawned with her hand covering her mouth, that he embarrassedly took his leave.
After seeing Su Ronggui off, Tu Hengsha returned, and Shu Hui suddenly asked her, "You two... have you already done the naughty thing?"
"..." Tu Hengsha was momentarily stunned, only then understanding what the naughty thing meant, her face turned red, and she dared not make a sound. Even though she was quite mischievous in front of Su Ronggui, she still dared not act up in front of her own mother, additionally feeling shy.
