Chapter 22 Meeting Jiuyue's Parents for the First Time
Ms. Zhang welcomed them inside while shouting at the courtyard, "Dear! Jiuya is back! Our daughter is back!"
Su Quanyou had just entered the house. When he heard the shout, he hurriedly ran out again.
"Jiuya? It's Jiuya! How come you're back?"
The three little kids also rushed out from the house, shouting, "Sister!"
"Sister, you're back!"
"Big sister! I missed you so much!" said Maomao.
...
Su Jiuyue was surrounded by her family as she went into the house. For the first time in her life, her father poured a glass of water for her personally.
She took it with a smile, then placed the basket Wu Xiyuan was carrying and the eggs she was holding on the table.
"Dad, mom, this is what my mother-in-law asked me to bring back."
It made Su Quanyou and Ms. Zhang feel embarrassed. They sold their daughter in exchange for food, but Jiuyue visited them with food. Their conscience pricked them.
The Wu family treated them with seriousness and let Jiuyue back according to the ritual.
The hen would lay eggs at this time every year, and few people were willing to give it away.
But the Wu family even gave them rice, noodles, eggs, and malt sugar. It could be seen that the Wu family was very satisfied with their daughter.
But it made sense. Jiuya was very capable since childhood. She was good at cooking and working. What was more, she was beautiful.
If she hadn't got married, her pursuers might flood her house.
Then Su Quanyou and Ms. Zhang started to look at Wu Xiyuan, who was standing next to Su Jiuyue and was a bit overwhelmed.
The man was tall and good-looking, who didn't look like a farmer. Who would he be? Was he their son-in-law?
But how could such a handsome man need to buy a wife?
It was not that they looked down on themselves, but that they didn't think Jiuyue match the Wu family.
Her parents had motioned her many times. Even though she was embarrassed, she had to introduce Wu Xiyuan.
"Dad, Mom. This is Wu Xiyuan, He's my... my... well."
Su Quanyou and Ms. Zhang looked at each other in disbelief.
"Jiuyue, is he your husband?" Ms. Zhang asked.
Su Jiuyue lowered her head in embarrassment and blushed. However, Wu Xiyuan raised his head and said proudly, "Yes! I'm her husband!"
As soon as he said so, Su Quanyou and Ms. Zhang felt a bit strange.
But even if they had a hundred questions in their minds, they couldn't ask them.
Ms. Zhang asked Su Jiuyue to go to the inner room with her. Su Jiuyue knew that her mother had questions for her, so she followed Ms. Zhang.
But Wu Xiyuan immediately stood up and wanted to follow them.
Su Jiuyue pressed him down and said, "Xiyuan, stay here and have a chat with my father."
Wu Xiyuan was a bit reluctant, but Maomao came to his side and hugged his leg, "Brother-in-law, why are you so tall? I also want to grow taller."
Maomao was Su Jiuyue's younger brother and the only male descendant of the Su family. He had an elder sister called Liuyue, aged nine, and a younger sister called Wuyue aged two.
Wu Xiyuan's attention was drawn by him. He looked at the young kid and laughed, "You are too young! My mother said that eat more and you will grow taller!"
Maomao looked at him with admiration. "Then I have to eat more! I have to grow taller!"
