This courtyard house is bigger than the one Jiang Yuechu bought. The layout is similar to her home, except that the courtyard looks more spacious.

"Yue'er, Zhi'en, Zhiyi, you are here, come in quickly." Tao Yumei was wearing an apron and it was obvious that she was cooking.

"Auntie."

"Aunt." Two children's voices sounded at the same time.

"Hey, be good."

"Godmother, are you cooking for me? Let me help you." Jiang Yuechu ran into the living room. "I'm in for a treat today. I've been wanting to eat your dishes for a long time, especially the sweet and sour spareribs."

"I knew you wanted to eat that, so I made a big plate. There's enough for you."

Jiang Yuechu was about to say something when he saw several people sitting in the living room. In addition to Lu Zhanting, there was a man and a woman, probably in their thirties. The man was wearing a military uniform, sitting there, and he could tell that he was tall and straight, with a stern face. The woman was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, a pair of tight light blue jeans, and her straight hair was tied behind her head.

Jiang Yuechu guessed that these two people were probably Lu Yun, the eldest son of the Lu family, and his wife.

While she was looking at the two people opposite her, Qin Yaru, who was sitting on the sofa, also looked at the woman who had just walked in.

The woman looked a little too young, only about 20 years old. She wore a light blue short-sleeved shirt with a large lapel and black wide-leg pants. I don't know what material they were made of, but they looked very textured. She had a high ponytail, which gave her a strong youthful vibe. She had an oval face, her skin was as white as jade, smooth and delicate, and her eyebrows were delicate and beautiful.

Even if Qin Yaru disliked her, she had to admit that she was beautiful.

Jiang Yuechu walked to the sofa, stopped, smiled, and slowly said: "Godfather, big brother, big sister-in-law."

"Uncle, brother, sister."

"Uncle, brother, sister."

Two children's voices sounded at the same time, and several people responded quickly.

"Hey, you're calling people before we even introduce them. Aren't you afraid of calling the wrong person?" Lu Lin followed in, baring his teeth.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard." Tao Yumei slapped him on the back.

"Mom, I'm so old now, why do you still hit me?" Lu Lin staggered and almost fell down.

Lu Lin:……

It's so embarrassing. His fucking strength is getting stronger and stronger.

"No matter how old he is, he is still my son. Why can't I hit him?"

The people on the sofa ignored the quarrel between the two.

Lu Zhanting showed a rare smile to Jiang Yuechu: "Yue girl is here, come and sit over here. Your godmother has someone to help you, so you don't have to go, she just needs to talk..."

"Who just talks? You sit here and act like an emperor, thinking that I am just like you, just an old Buddha. Humph, if you say that, you don't have to eat the food I cook tonight..."

Tao Yumei's words made the three people on the sofa feel uneasy. Qin Yaru stood up quickly and said, "Mom, how about I help you?"

"No need, I'm almost done." Tao Yumei glanced at her and replied in a calm voice.

Her daughter-in-law behaves like a rich lady, never doing housework. Every time she comes, she eats what's ready-made. She never asks for help. But today, the sun rises from the west.

But it only happened once every one or two months, so she just put up with it and didn't bother to say anything to her. Fortunately, we didn't live together, otherwise, there would be a fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every day.

Jiang Yuechu sat down next to Lu Zhanting, glanced at the woman who sat down opposite him, and looked unhappy.

Qin Yaru gritted her teeth secretly, her face was stiff, and she couldn't even fake a smile. Every time she came to eat, her mother-in-law would look at her coldly, but she was very affectionate to an outsider who had nothing to do with her.

She secretly reached out and pinched the waist of the man next to her. If he hadn't always refused to help her, would she have cared about his father's face?

Lu Yun frowned and wanted to speak, but finally he held back and said nothing.

Jiang Yuechu seemed not to notice their quarrel, and only smiled at Lu Zhanting and said, "Godfather knows that there is nothing good in our place, so he didn't bring any gifts this time. I just made a set of clothes for Godfather and Godmother. You try them on. If they don't fit, I'll take them back and modify them."

"Why would I be worried about Yue girl's craftsmanship? No need to try."

Tao Yumei, who had just come out, smiled when she heard that she had made more clothes. "The clothes made by Yue girl are hard to find now. Only we can take advantage of this."

"I feel embarrassed for what you said, godmother." Jiang Yuechu rarely does things by himself now. One reason is that he is too busy, and the other is that he doesn't have the heart to do it.

"Old Lu, this is Yue girl's gift, try it quickly." Lu Zhanting had no choice but to go back to the room with Tao Yumei to change clothes.

When the two came out, they shocked everyone.

Tao Yumei wore a short-sleeved lavender cheongsam with dark floral patterns, a small stand-up collar, slanted buttons, and a perfectly fitted waist. Tao Yumei is tall, and this outfit highlights her temperament.

Lu Zhanting was wearing a beige short-sleeved lapel casual shirt and dark grey casual pants. Standing next to Tao Yumei, they were truly a perfect match. No one could tell that both of them had grandchildren.

"Dad, Mom, you are so handsome. If you stand with big brother, everyone will say you are brothers." Lu Lin came back to his senses first and immediately spoke with a smile.

"Go away, you have no respect for your elders." Although Tao Yumei was scolding her younger son, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"Jiang Yuechu, you are too partial. Why don't we get any share every time?" Lu Lin looked at Jiang Yuechu and couldn't help but joked.

Jiang Yuechu did not argue, but took out a few more pieces of cloth from the box beside him. "Because I don't know the sizes of the brothers and sisters-in-law, I only bought some cloth. If you like the color, you can make clothes. If you don't like it, you can give it away.

These materials are the latest from our factory and are not available on the market yet. If you give them to someone, they won’t look too bad.”

"Thank you." Qin Yaru thanked casually as she took the cloth.

As a native Beijinger who also lives in an upper-class circle, Qin Yaru has a natural sense of superiority and simply looks down on these outsiders.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Country people are country people. They actually gave these things as gifts. In Beijing, who would give these things? People either gave supplements or jewelry.

Lu Yun glanced at the woman beside him and frowned even more. His wife, who boasted of being from a noble family, always looked down on people whose family background was not as good as hers. She was too lazy to hide the disdain on her face. He wanted to say something to her, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Qin Yaru was a little surprised when she first took the cloth in her hands. This material...

In Beijing, although she was at the forefront of fashion, she had seen a lot of good things, but this material had never been seen in the whole city of Beijing.

"Second brother hasn't come back yet?" Jiang Yuechu asked when he didn't see Lu Ji.

"It seems that there is a project in their research institute that is now in a critical stage. He has been working overtime every day and has not been home for a month. Don't worry about him, let's have dinner." Tao Yumei felt a headache when she thought of her second son. He is already 27 or 28 years old and has not found a partner. When the topic of marriage is mentioned, he is nowhere to be seen.

Tao Yumei took Jiang Yuechu and the two children to the restaurant, "Sister Yi, dinner is ready."

"Okay, ma'am." A woman in her fifties heard the call and was putting dishes on the table.

Lu Zhanting sat in the main seat, Tao Yumei sat to his left, Jiang Yuechu sat beside her, Chen Zhien and Chen Zhiyi sat close to her. Lu Yun sat to Lu Zhanting's right, Qin Yaru sat close to him, and then Lu Lin.

Dinner officially began when the head of the family, Lu Zhanting, picked up the chopsticks.

"Why didn't Chenchen come today?" Tao Yumei asked in a calm voice, looking at her eldest daughter-in-law opposite her.

"His grandma said she missed him and took him over to stay for two days."

Hearing this, Tao Yumei stopped asking questions and changed the subject. "Lin'er, when are you going to report to your unit?"

"I have some things to do in a few days. I'll go after I'm done." Lu Lin picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mother's bowl. "Mom, do you have any money? Lend me some."

"You have just been discharged from the army, so you should have some money on you. Why do you want to borrow money? What do you want so much money for? I don't have any money, and I have a lot of places to spend money right now." Tao Yumei refused.

"Then big brother, how about you lend me some?" Lu Lin changed his target again.

"How much do you want?" Lu Yun looked up at him.

Lu Lin was about to speak happily when a gentle voice came to his ears.

"Third brother, it's not that my elder brother and his wife don't want to help you. Your elder brother just sent a sum of money to one of his comrades' hometown two days ago, and he doesn't have much on hand now. If it's only a hundred or so yuan, it's no problem for the two of us to save some, but if it's more, I guess we really can't help you."

"Oh, I forgot. Big brother's pockets are always cleaner than his face. I shouldn't have asked that." Lu Lin said casually while eating.

Lu Yun's face had already turned dark, but he didn't lose his temper at the dinner table.

Tao Yumei didn't want to watch their verbal battle either, so she looked at them and said, "In two months it will be your father's birthday. Although it's not an integer, we are also planning to hold a birthday party and formally introduce Yue'er to everyone at that time."

Everyone at the table showed surprised expressions, except Tao Yumei and Lu Zhanting.

"Why are you so surprised? Yue'er came to Beijing alone without any relatives. As her godmother, shouldn't I take care of things for her?"

Jiang Yuechu never expected that Tao Yumei and her husband would value her so much.

She knew what they meant; they wanted to formally introduce her to their upper circle.

However, Jiang Yuechu did not want to enter that circle. Even if someone like her, who had no background or foundation, was forced to join, she would still look out of place and would not be accepted by the people in that circle.

But, this was their good intention, and she couldn't, and didn't want to, disappoint them.

Qin Yaru was even more surprised, and her face became even uglier. How could they value such a little girl from the countryside so much? How could they not even take her, a proper daughter-in-law, seriously?

Everyone at the table had different thoughts, and the meal was a mixed bag of emotions.

San Ya was probably the one who was eating the most happily.
