Sister He is a capable person and quickly bought all the things and returned, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got busy in the kitchen.
Not long after, Second Sister-in-law He returned from outside and smelled the aroma from the main room: "Sister-in-law, what delicious food are you cooking? It smells so good."
Sister He came out of the kitchen to pour water and heard her sister-in-lawâs words: "Yumei, Jinxuan is back. Dad said we should all have dinner together tonight. Get ready and come over."
Gao Yumei couldnât refuse: "Alright, Sister-in-law, Iâll tidy up and come over right away."
She said that, but didnât hurry over. Anyway, people would be called when itâs time to eat, going over early would mean doing work.
Wang Erni didnât expect her sister-in-law to come over and help anyway; she knew all too well what kind of person Gao Yumei was.
When the dishes were almost ready, Gao Yumei brought her kids over: "Mom, is there anything I can help with?"
Mother He, Zhang Guizhi, rolled her eyes at the second daughter-in-law: "You donât have eyes yourself. Since your sister-in-law made the meal, you wash the dishes yourself later."
Gao Yumei wasnât happy to hear she had to wash dishes: "Mom, there are so many dishes, how can I wash them all by myself?"
Mother He replied annoyed: "Then donât eat, and you wonât have to wash dishes."
Gao Yumei was about to say something else, but she heard her husbandâs voice: "Mom is right. If you donât help with cooking, then wash the dishes, or donât eat."
He Jian Country had run into the main roomâs kids as he got off work and entered the alley, learning that Third was back and that they would have dinner together tonight. Afraid his family troublemaker would stir up trouble, he understood immediately when he heard his momâs words, realizing it was probably Gao Yumei being clever again.
Sister-in-law hadnât minded before, but now the families had split, and she still wanted to just show up for meals. Who would be happy about that?
He couldnât let her ruin the brotherly feelings because of her nature. He had his own calculations in mind.
With Second Brother He Jian Countryâs words, Gao Yumei didnât dare to act up: "I never said I wouldnât wash."
He Jian Country entered the room: "Dad, Third."
Mr. He pointed to a chair beside him, signaling him to sit.
Continuing to talk to He Jinxuan: "Third, youâre not young anymore. You canât keep delaying this marriage issue. If you find someone suitable, you should get on with it."
Second Brother He Jian Country heard this and his eyes darted around: "Third, Dadâs right. You should hurry at your age. Shouldnât Second Brother introduce you to someone?"
He Jinxuan replied indifferent: "No need, I have someone."
As soon as he said this, He Jian Country laughed: "Alright, donât be shy, Second Brother will definitely introduce you to a good one."
Mr. He was initially happy to hear his youngest had someone, but with the second sonâs comment, he figured maybe Third was making an excuse.
At this moment, Ye Siyan spoke: "We want Sister Xinyan to be our aunt, not anyone else."
Mr. He caught the main point and looked up at his third son: "Who is Xinyan?"
Ye Siyan quickly answered: "Itâs Sister Xinyan, Uncleâs girlfriend, who will be our aunt in the future."
Mr. He was getting excited, ready to ask more, but then heard his wife outside calling: "Dinnerâs ready."
Not waiting for Mr. Heâs question, He Jinxuan got up and walked out: "Iâll go help bring out the dishes."
He thought it would be easier to mention his and Xinyanâs matters once the family was all gathered together, rather than being asked by his mother again later.
As the dishes were placed on the table, the eldest of the He family, He Jiefang, also came home and called the children to the table.
Mr. He couldnât wait any longer: "Third, quickly tell me, who is the girl?"
