Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Satisfaction

Wang Shufen bit her lip and said, "I will never go back. Today is a good day for my brother to bring someone over, let’s not talk about this. Let’s entertain the guests properly!"

Mrs. Wang quickly agreed, "I almost forgot about this. Today we should make something delicious. Do you need me to go to the little shop to buy some canned food? Didn’t Kangkang say he wanted some before? Also, should we buy a fish from Wang’s fishpond?"

For the villagers, having a fish outside of holidays is the best treat. Conveniently, Wang’s fishpond is on the east side of the village, making it easy to buy.

Sun Chan wanted to stop her, but Gu Junming held her back, "It’s your parents’ goodwill. You should just accept it. Go help Mom pick some vegetables!"

Sun Chan nodded, and the family cooperatively made the meal. Wang Shufen went to the shop to buy two cans of food, one with fruit and the other with luncheon meat, and also bought a fish back.

Sun Chan and Mrs. Wang went to the vegetable garden; although small, it was well-maintained.

The two women picked some bok choy, green beans, and also took out some pickled meat. Sun Chan helped Mrs. Wang make vegetable pancakes, and they prepared four or five dishes, plus a tomato and egg soup. Seeing Sun Chan cook properly, Mrs. Wang was very satisfied.

This girl is really nice, diligent, and straightforward.

But upon further thought, if her son could marry such a daughter-in-law, it would naturally be good, but would the Gu Family agree? She started to worry for Sun Chan.

Sun Chan looked sideways at Mrs. Wang, "What’s wrong, Auntie? You look unhappy. Did I do something wrong?"

"No, let’s set the table and eat."

With the food ready, everyone gathered around the table to eat. Ding Kang was very reserved at first but soon started eating heartily, almost choking a few times from eating too fast.

Wang Shufen patted his back, "Eat slowly. There’s plenty!"

Sun Chan glanced at Gu Junming, noticing his bad mood. Though she was now well-off, her sister and parents still couldn’t have good things to eat. Reluctant to say anything directly, she held it in.

Mrs. Wang, a bit embarrassed, explained, "The money Mingzi sent is a lot, but we’re saving it for his future wedding and dowry, so we didn’t spend it. Plus, there’s Kangkang’s expenses. Don’t worry, we eat well enough regularly."

Even though he wasn’t her birth child, she had thought of these things in advance.

Gu Junming smiled, "I’ll send an extra ten dollars starting next month." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"No need," Father Wang bluntly refused, "We are farming here and don’t have many expenses. Rest assured, we may be frugal, but not when it comes to the children’s diet. We’ll make sure Kangkang eats well."

Wang Shufen felt a bit embarrassed, feeling she was burdening her family.

Sun Chan held her hand and gave a comforting smile.

Talking about saving for Gu Junming’s wedding, Sun Chan hurried to say she didn’t want a dowry.

Wang Shufen said, "Sister-in-law, you must be joking. How can we not have a dowry? People in the village would laugh at us. Just listen to Mom and Dad."

Sun Chan felt shy, looking at Gu Junming. His eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Wang placed a piece of fish on Sun Chan’s plate, "Eat, girl. Look at how thin you are."

Sun Chan obliged, eating heartily, and naturally served dishes to Father Wang. His eyesight wasn’t good, so she took care of him while eating, even removing the fish bones.
