Chapter 133: A Tense Dinner (Third Update)
"What's wrong with that? Your sister Zhang and Aunt Liang have been taking such good care of you, what's wrong with inviting them over for a meal?"
Su Mu Liu Ai Zhen pointed at the full table of dishes and urged Su Lin to go call Ye Jia's mother and daughter.
Call Zhu Jie and Liang Yi to come over for dinner, if it were before, Su Lin would have agreed with both hands. But now, in this situation, Su Lin felt that his Liang Yi already knew about the relationship between him and Zhu Jie, how could he still have the face to meet Liang Gui Zhu?
"Mom, Aunt Liang just had surgery and needs some rest. Why don't we leave her alone for now and not disturb her?"
Sulim glanced at his mother's face and said.
"What's wrong with eating? Your Aunt Liang's surgery was very successful, and it just so happens that many of the dishes here today are nourishing for the heart, which can help supplement your Aunt Liang's body. Little rabbit, why don't you hurry up and go, what are you being lazy about?"
Having no choice and failing to persuade his own mother, Su Lin had no alternative but to leave the house and run next door to the Ye's.
The familiar push of the door, Ye's door had always been a mere formality for Su Lin. Inside the house, Ye Xingzhu was tidying up in the living room, and Su Lin didn't see Liang Guizhu, probably resting in her room.
"Kobayashi? The college entrance exam is finally over, right? You're still a good kid to come find your sister as soon as it's done."
Yexingzhu, who was sweeping the floor, looked up and saw Su Lin, and her heart was filled with joy. She congratulated Su Lin, saying "The college entrance exam is over! Now you're finally free, you little scamp!"
"Heh heh! Bamboo sister, my mom is treating me to a meal and has cooked a table full of dishes. She wants me to invite you and Aunt Liang over to eat together too?"
Su Lin felt a little guilty, looking at Ye Xingzhu in front of him with her hair tied up in a bun. He couldn't help but feel that after yesterday, his sister Ye seemed even more mature and full-figured now. He thought to himself, could it be that once a girl becomes a woman, the change is really this big? Or was it just his own psychological effect?
"Wow! It seems like this is our Little Lin's celebration banquet?"
Yexing Zhu smiled slightly, stood up, at home she was wearing loose clothes, Su Lin's eyes looked hard, found that Sister Zhu didn't wear a bra, the two small red dots on her chest protruded, staring at the loose clothes, especially when Sister Zhu lowered her head, a white and fluffy patch, it could even be seen a deep groove.
This made Su Lin's heart itch, the things between men and women, for Su Lin who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, were so delicious that he couldn't help but glance at Ye Xingzhu with a wandering gaze. If it weren't for Ye Mu being at home and having to go back for dinner, Su Lin, who was itching with impatience, would have probably taken advantage of Ye Xingzhu right there on the sofa in the living room.
"Alright! But the college entrance exam results won't be out for a few more days. By the way, where's Aunt Liang? Bamboo sister, Aunt Liang will come over to eat later, will she... say something to my mom?"
Su Lin was a little worried in his heart, he feared that if Ye Mu really exposed the things between him and Zhu sister at the dinner table, it would be embarrassing.
"Don't worry! You little scamp, if my mom wanted something, wouldn't she have gone to your house to find Aunt Liu already?"
Ye Xingzhu came forward and patted Su Lin's head, smiling, "You go back to eat first! Sister will change her clothes, then we'll go over with my mom."
"Oh!"
Watching Zhu Jie walk with an awkward posture, Su Lin couldn't help but feel secretly pleased when she thought that this was her own handiwork from yesterday.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, before long, Ye Xingzhu changed into the white cheongsam she wore yesterday, as if attending a formal dinner party, and sat down at the Su family's dining table with her mother Liang Guizhu.
"Aunt Liang, come... sit next to me! I'm sitting against the wall, you can lean against it..."
As soon as Ye Mu arrived, Su Lin was exceptionally diligent in helping Ye Xingzhu support her to sit down beside him in the seat by the wall.
This guy! Once he has a guilty conscience, he becomes uneasy and unnatural all over. Just like Su Lin now, although Ye Mu is acting as if nothing's wrong, Su Lin still doesn't dare to look her straight in the eye.
"Kobayashi is really clever! But, my body is fine now, Aunt Liang! I recovered especially quickly in the hospital, and there's no problem with general movements, as long as it's not too intense exercise, don't treat me like a sickly person."
Liang Guizhu has always been strong-willed. As an orphan and a poor mother for over a decade, her perseverance is renowned throughout the neighborhood.
"Gui Zhu, how are you feeling now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable? Ah... You're really a person with a hard life, your husband passed away early and now you've fallen ill..."
She let out a sigh, although Su's mother usually looked fierce, but her kindness was also well-known. Whenever someone in the neighborhood had difficulties, Liu Ai Zhen would help if she could. If it weren't for this, during the period when the couple lost their jobs, there wouldn't have been so many neighbors who went out of their way to introduce job opportunities to them.
"Ai Zhen jie, just be at ease. Luckily! Our family has a benefactor who helped me with the 200,000 yuan surgical fee, otherwise... I'm afraid my old life would have been lost there..."
Liang Guizhu smiled slightly, narrowing her eyes. When she mentioned this nobleman, her gaze deliberately fell on Su Lin's body.
"That's great! That's great! It seems that heaven is still taking care of you, a widow with children. As long as nothing bad happens, we should live our lives well." Su Mu was also smiling, the Ye family had a noble person helping them, and they could get through this difficult time, so she was happy too. However, she didn't know that the noble person mentioned by Liang Gui Zhu was actually her own son, Liu Ai Zhen's son, Su Lin.
Su Lin's heart sank as soon as Liang Gui Zhu looked at her, afraid that Aunt Liang would tell her mother everything. She quickly gave a signal to Ye Xingzhu beside her, meaning for Ye Xingzhu to think of a solution.
But who would have thought that Ye Xingzhu is now pretending not to see Su Lin's gaze, moving his chopsticks on his own, tasting each dish one by one, and saying sweetly to his mother: "Liu Ayi, your cooking skills have improved recently! This braised pork head is so delicious. And this sweet and sour ribs, the flavor is so crispy..."
"Still, Xing Zhu recognizes the goods. Our family's little rabbit is blessed but doesn't know it, always picking and choosing, not knowing that other families' kids don't have such good fortune. Did you hear that, little rabbit? Look at your sister Zhang saying mom's cooking is delicious and her skills have improved, so in the future don't be picky again, or else I'll let you go drink the northwest wind..."
Su Mu Liu Aizhen glared at Su Lin and then began to lavish praise on Ye Xingzhu, while speaking ill of her own son Su Lin.
"Gui Zhu! Your family's Xing Zhu is 22 this year, right? How come she still doesn't have a boyfriend? This won't do! A girl's youth only lasts for a few years, if it's delayed, it'll be hard to find a good husband later on."
Liu Aizhen liked Ye Xingzhu more and more as she looked at her, actually she liked girls better, girls were gentle and beautiful, how could they be like Su Lin, that little rabbit in her own family, who had been making trouble from childhood to adulthood, not letting people have a peaceful life. Although Su Lin was four years younger than Ye Xingzhu, Liu Aizhen married late and gave birth late, so she was one or two years older than Liang Guizhu. She had given birth to Su Lin in her first pregnancy, if it weren't for the country's family planning policy, Liu Aizhen would have wanted to give birth to a daughter!
"It's not that easy! Especially for my family's Xing Zhu, it's always just home and the hospital, and there are more night shifts. There are fewer suitable young men to meet, and I've already urged her countless times at home, but... alas, there just isn't a suitable partner!"
Lianguiju said, turning the topic to Su Lin on purpose, and half-jokingly, half-seriously suggested to Su Mu, "I think! Your family's Xiao Lin is quite good, down-to-earth, studying well now, and will be admitted to a key university soon. After graduation, he'll be a college graduate, and his job prospects won't be bad either. You see, my Xingzhu and Xiao Lin grew up together since childhood... I'm telling you, Ai Zhen Jie, why don't we arrange a marriage between our two families..."
When Ye Mu said this, Su Lin almost spat out the food in his mouth. What is Liang Yi trying to do? Even eating a meal is so frightening.
