"Xiao Yue, why did you come back so late?" Zhang Hualian saw Tang Yue return and quickly asked, "Didn’t you say you were going to your mother-in-law’s house for lunch? Why did you stay for dinner too?"
"Mom, tonight I visited Si Yu’s uncle’s place, that is, Mo Weidong’s house."
Tang Yue explained, because she had hastily only left a phone message before and had not gone into detail, she said, "It’s Sister Xiaoyu, the daughter of the big uncle who’s come back, the one from Sea City that we visited before, so we had dinner together this evening."
"Oh, did you bring something with you?" Zhang Hualian asked.
Since the engagement, it wasn’t considered appropriate for Tang Yue to visit relatives of the Mo Family empty-handed.
"I brought some fruit." Tang Yue replied succinctly and asked, "Mom, did Si Yu call back?"
"He did, I told him you weren’t here." Zhang Hualian mentioned Mo Siyu and cheerfully laughed, "Xiao Yue, you should talk with Si Yu and tell him not to bother sending anything over. It’s such a long distance, and it’s quite expensive."
"Is he sending something?" Tang Yue was also very shocked, completely unaware of what Mo Siyu wanted to send over.
"Yes."
Zhang Hualian couldn’t stop praising this son-in-law.
Zhang Hualian kept mentioning the things Mo Siyu liked to eat, insisting that Tang Yue should take them to him when she goes to Jing City.
Home-made sausages, cured meat, and moldy tofu may not be worth much money, but they’re filled with the flavor of home.
"Mom, why do I feel like I’m not your own daughter?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but say, she hadn’t even gone to Jing City yet, and Zhang Hualian kept harping on about what Mo Siyu liked, completely forgetting about the pine nut meat she enjoyed.
Zhang Hualian glared at her and said, "How can you not be? If you weren’t my own daughter, could I have such an outstanding son-in-law?"
Zhang Hualian said proudly, "By the way, Xiao Yue, your dad and I are thinking of buying the bungalow next door and then building a new house ourselves."
"Good idea." Tang Yue agreed and took a sip of water before saying, "But, will the neighbors sell it?"
"They will, we’ve asked." Zhang Hualian thought for a moment and then said, "Xiao Yue, it’s like this, we used your money to buy this house, so your dad plans, with both places combined, to build two houses, a big one, and a small one. We’ll live in the big one, and the small one will be yours."
"Don’t." Tang Yue quickly interrupted, "Mom, we’re a family. Although I’m about to get married, I haven’t yet, and you guys are already getting rid of me?"
Even though she knew Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian didn’t want her to be short-changed, the idea of building two houses made her feel like an outsider to her own family.
"Xiao Yue, your dad is worried..."
Zhang Hualian had only gotten halfway through her sentence when Tang Yue cut her off, "Mom, am I not your own daughter?"
"Of course." Zhang Hualian replied without hesitation.
Tang Yue got up to find Tang Zhengde and asked, "Dad, am I not your daughter? Have you ever thought of me as your own daughter?"
