Ji Changze’s meal at Liu’s house could be described as a feast for the guests.
None of the Liu family members were the kind of people who wanted to make a fuss. Since he brought the pheasant and fish, they didn’t skimp on the good food either, and a table was set for noon.
And, he was given a special big drumstick holder.
Ji Changze wasn’t polite at all. Since they gave it to him, he would eat it.
If it had been before, Liu Huifen would have thought that this boy was thick-skinned, and didn’t even push back a bit and said that he wasn’t here to eat and drink.
But now she’s happy because of what her husband told her before, and she didn’t think about it at all.
After dinner and washing dishes, Mother Liu spoke to her in a particularly happy tone, “I think Changze is quite straightforward and gets along with your Dad. It seems that you really misunderstood him before.”
Liu Huifen looked back and saw Ji Changze sitting there learning to play chess with Father.
He was still crossing one leg over the other.
It’s also true that there was no decency in all of his body.
He was even smiling like a gangster.
It was clearly identical to the image she had seen in the past, but why was it so unappealing?
Mother Liu was still chattering, “Your in-laws are treating you well on their side too, they’re in the countryside and now they’re not allowed to raise chickens and ducks, so it’ll only be harder for them to eat meat than us. But even after all that, they told Changze to send the pheasant and fish he caught. I used to say they didn’t look too close to our family, but now I guess I’m overthinking it.”
Liu Huifen immediately forgot to think about Ji Changze.
Yes, the attitude of her in-laws was the key.
It would only be a great thing if they really did what Changguang said, and now her mother-in-law knew how to understand her, too.
Both mother and daughter were in a good mood as they cleaned up the kitchen.
When stewing chicken before, Mother Liu specially reserved a large bowl of pheasant, and most of the pheasant meat was in it.
Plus, there was half a fish, and their own dishes. She packed a basket full of delicious food.
In-laws would rather not eat at home and give them the pheasant and fish. Their family wasn’t the kind to take advantage of it.
Mother Liu put all the food in the basket and handed it to Liu Huifen, saying, “When Changze leaves, you gave this to him. I think Changze is very kind to you. When people are good to you, you must be good to others.”
Liu Huifen took the basket and nodded her head.
Although she also felt that Ji Changze seemed to be getting better, she always felt something was wrong in her heart.
Thinking about it, Liu Huifen remembered what was wrong.
Ji Changze is a sweet talker, and he coaxed Changguang to buy him a bicycle, which is an indisputable fact!
Not to mention how hard it is to get a bicycle ticket, but what about the money spent on the bicycle? Changguang had saved up for so long!
Liu Huifen’s face suddenly looked pale again. Mother Liu noticed that her daughter’s expression was wrong, and looked at it strangely.
Liu Huifen didn’t tell her about the bicycle, and she wasn’t stupid. If she did tell them, even though it was Changguang’s own money, her parents would feel uncomfortable and think Changguang didn’t think about her.
And if the money doesn’t come back, they would be more or less unpleasant toward Changze, and the in-laws, at heart.
It’ll still be a long light caught in the middle of a dilemma.
When Ji Changze was leaving, Ji Changguang and Liu Huifen went to see him off.
Liu Huifen took the basket and handed it to Ji Changze. “Take these back to your parents and tell them that I have no days off this time. I will definitely go to see them with Changguang next time.”
Ji Changze picked it up, and when he looked at Liu Huifen, he knew she had something to say.
With a second look, he figured she was definitely going to say something about the bicycle.
Ji Changze doesn’t like owing people things, and if he couldn’t collapse his persona, he’d just find an excuse to send the bike back now.
But he, who coaxed a bicycle by every possible means, couldn’t say no.
Then he’ll have to bluff.
Liu Huifen opened her mouth, “Changze, there is another thing …”
“Right!” Ji Changze immediately cut off the topic and smiled brightly. “Sister-in-law, you reminded me that there is another thing.”
Under the dazed look from Liu Huifen, pulled out the crate in the back, took out the packaged small box and stuffed it directly into Liu Huifen’s hands.
Liu Huifen looked down at the little box. “What is this?”
“This is something good.”
Ji Changze has a ‘I’m going to start bragging’ look on his face, and chattering begins. “There are all kinds of mountain goods that I have carefully selected, including those that can be eaten, and those that can be baked directly as snacks. I have heard my older brother say that you two are going to have children. Sister-in-law, you must keep healthy. These mountain goods are the best and most nourishing for your health.”
He began to exaggerate his credit with no shame, “I went to a lot of trouble for these things.”
Ji Changguang didn’t explain much.
It took a lot of effort for him to slip the money to Seventh Uncle.
Liu Huifen took this exquisitely packaged small box and looked at her brother-in-law in amazement. “Did you get this up the mountain?”
After all, there was a pheasant in front of her, and she suddenly thought Ji Changze went up the mountain to get mountain products for her.
Ji Changze said, “Never mind where I got them, sister-in-law. Anyway, as long as you know it’s a good thing, you can eat it first, and I’ll bring something else after you’re done.”
The box was expensive at first glance because of the packaging, and with Ji Changze bragging about it, Liu Huifen got embarrassed.
“How can you say that? You shouldn’t trouble yourself.”
“No trouble, no trouble.”
Ji Changze smirked, “Isn’t this just for the sake of my sister-in-law, but also for my future little nephews and nieces? We are all family. It’s nothing for me as an uncle to prepare more for them. You see, my older brother takes care of me. It’s just that I almost drowned when I was a child. My older brother has always been very kind to me ever since I can remember.”
Liu Huifen was stunned. Was this true?
She looked at her husband next to her and saw Ji Changguang look guilty. “Don’t say that. I should be nice to you. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been in bad health since childhood, and people wouldn’t talk behind your back saying you were lazy and didn’t work.”
Ji Changze waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, “I didn’t want to work in the first place, so they can talk all they want. “
The more he said so, the more people felt that he was pretending to be relaxed and easy in order to make Ji Changguang feel better at heart.
Ji Changguang felt sorry for his younger brother even more. “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be unable to do farm work all the time, or you wouldn’t marry An Xiaolu …”
Although, there was nothing wrong with An Xiaolu’s character.
But the mere fact that she was mute was enough to make Ji Changguang feel bad for his younger brother.
“Big brother, what are you talking about, Xiaolu is quite wonderful! Although she can’t speak, she is a former high school student. If it weren’t for her becoming mute, I wouldn’t be good enough for someone like her.”
Ji Changze said, “I’m very satisfied now. Since you got married, watching Sister-in-law treat you so well, I’ve always thought that I would marry a wife who studies well and is as gentle as her. It’s my luck to be able to marry Xiaolu. Don’t say such disparaging words about her in the future, just like you don’t like others belittling your wife, I don’t like it either.”
What he said not only praised Liu Huifen for her good education and gentle temperament, but also pointing out Ji Changguang’s protection of his wife and a wife loving persona was established.
For younger girls, a man defending his fiancée with righteous words…
That is enough to paint their hearts full of good feelings.
Not to mention those words before.
Liu Huifen completely forgot about the bicycle, and pushed the wooden husband next to her shyly. “Did you hear what Changze said? My family’s Xiaolu is very good. Don’t talk too much in the future.”
Although she has never seen this future Sister-in-law, she already has a good feeling in her heart.
Ji Changze however said that An Xiaolu is as gentle as she is by nature.
Can a sister-in-law like her not befriend her!?
