Chapter 318 Kindness
In the teahouse, Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping had arrived early, and saw the radiant and energetic Xue Sumei slowly walking over with a bag on her arm.
When she sat at the table, Liu Xiu poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her: "Su Mei, life is getting better and better now. It's only been so long since we last met, and she looks more energetic now." It’s a lot. Tsk tsk, look at this dress, this material, eh, look at this bag, you’ve spent a lot of money, right?”
When she met someone who knew the goods, she talked about what was in her heart. Xue Sumei couldn't help but smile: "They were all bought by Taozi and my son-in-law. Neither of these two people save money to live. They said they were not allowed to buy them, but they had to buy them. Take a look. My package sounds like it’s more than 20,000 yuan. From then on, I won’t ask how much it is. If they want to buy it, they can buy it. I can’t stop them. They even get upset after asking. What do you mean? I feel bad for you to spend so much money on me at such an old age."
They have all worked together for decades, so no one knows who is who. Liu Xiu knew that her old friend was not fighting with her, but was mainly fighting against Lan Caiping next to him, but whether it should be said or not, this was indeed quite lethal. It was just the aftermath that made her a little unable to hold on. The key point was that no one was good. It was useless to arrange twenty tables for his son's birthday. It was not worth the thirty-plus apartments. Secretly looking at Lan Caiping, who kept an elegant smile and didn't feel anything at all, she had to convince herself that she must be able to bear it.
"Oh, your Taozi married well, and your son-in-law treats you well, so you will be blessed in the future. Now that Taozi is pregnant, you can become a grandma next year, and the good times are yet to come."
Xue Sumei waved her hand modestly: "It's your grandson's first birthday, but our family is still far behind."
Lan Caiping spoke, with a smile on her face, a little flattering: "Su Mei, even if you find a good son-in-law, you will be settled for the rest of your life, but you Taozi is so good. At the beginning, you were going on blind dates, but in the blink of an eye, they I have found the one I like, and although the marriage may be too soon, my life is really prosperous, you are lucky, Sumei."
After saying that, seeing her old rival just smirking and nodding without replying, Lan Caiping sighed inwardly, but her face showed a sincere and risk-taking tone: "I'm sorry, Sumei, I was the one who blamed you wrongly last time. Yes, I went back and asked around. Taozi and her partner really didn’t tell each other. It’s because Weiwei is embarrassed. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t embarrass you at Liu Xiu’s grandson’s birthday party. We are all good friends for life. It's time to make trouble, so you can't be really angry. Oh, Xiu, don't blame me, I was really anxious at that time, we were so pitiful."
Liu Xiu nodded with a smile: "I still don't know you two. There are all our old friends at that table. Who doesn't know you yet? Don't worry, I don't care at all. You two enemies are fine That’s fine, it’s been a lifetime, but don’t cause any conflicts when you get old, right Sumei?”
Xue Sumei is even more difficult. Others don't know, but she knows. She also said that her daughter is the kindest, but she, as a biological mother, is also kind, but the victim has to bear the pain herself, all because of her kindness. But what they say is always true. It is true that old friends who have been together for most of their lives, and serious relationships are still good. Even if the Lan Weiwei incident hadn't happened, even if she and Lan Caiping were fighting each other, they would still be considered good sisters.
Now looking at her old friend who was cautious and apologetic across from her, Xue Sumei sighed, "What else can I do?"
"Yes, I don't blame Caiping, otherwise I can help you throw eggs?" Xue Sumei shook her head and smiled.
Lan Caiping immediately laughed: "No, I just said you can't really blame me. Try this pastry. I ate a piece when you weren't here. It tastes good."
In just two words, the previous discomfort was over, I just lied to myself, and the atmosphere at the table became better.
Xue Sumei ate the cakes with a smile and asked, "How is your family doing? Such a big thing happened. Are you feeling okay physically and emotionally?"
Lan Caiping smiled and said: "I was right to insist on breastfeeding. This child's body is in great shape. Not only is he fine, but he also changed his job and went to work in a fitness company owned by an American company."
Although it was a smile, you could still see the bitterness mixed with it.
"That's not bad." Liu Xiu cheered. He turned around and wanted to ask about Yang Tao out of habit. When the words came to his lips, he reacted, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't ask about Tao Zi. Look at my habitual thinking. Ask.”
Xue Sumei drank tea, shook her head and smiled: "You really don't have to ask. They basically stay at home all day long. In the words of the two of them, they are just eating and waiting to die. Now tell me about this child, the two of them are tired of being together all day long. It’s not too boring to be together.”
I know it's because the daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, and they're having a flash marriage, so they're flirting with them. Liu Xiu didn't care, Lan Caiping had just reconciled, and she really couldn't stop it. After all, her good son-in-law abandoned her daughter, and she suffered an ectopic pregnancy and suffered massive bleeding. She had no shame to say it, so the two of them fought together.
The three of them chatted, drank tea, and ate cakes and nuts. After talking for a while, Liu Xiu looked at Lan Caiping: "In addition to our sisters' gathering today, I have something good to tell you, Caiping."
Lan Caiping looked at Xue Sumei across from her and asked doubtfully, "What serious good thing is this?"
"That's it." Liu Xiu took a sip of tea and straightened his body: "My daughter-in-law, hasn't she been unemployed since she got married? She trades stocks in that big family. There is a woman in her forties who trades stocks with her. When she was many years old, her son was in primary school. In his spare time, her son was learning to play piano from a teacher. The piano teacher’s father had a neighbor..."
"Oops..." Lan Caiping couldn't help rolling her eyes and interrupted: "I'm talking about Xiu, what on earth are you going to say? It's all confusing to me, it's too confusing, I didn't understand it. .”
"It's too simple, I understand." Xue Sumei smiled and said: "It belongs to your daughter-in-law, your stock trading friend, your son's piano teacher, and your father's neighbor, right?"
"That's right, that's right." Liu Xiu laughed: "Su Mei has a good brain and is smart."
Xue Sumei waved her hand and said modestly: "It's not easy to use, it's just for pediatrics, it's too simple."
"Let me continue, that neighbor has a son who is single." Liu Xiu looked at Lan Caiping: "Finally, I'm done."
Lan Caiping said helplessly: "Oh, look at how you are going around in circles. Are you introducing someone to us Weiwei?"
Liu Xiu smiled and nodded: "You don't care whether I go around in circles or not. The key point is that this child's conditions are too good. He has been an excellent student since he was a child. Weiwei is single, so I'm going to take it seriously and tell you right away." , make an appointment quickly."
Xue Sumei said: "Let me ask for Caiping, what are his conditions and what does he do?"
"Yes, what are the conditions? How come the outstanding students who have been outstanding since childhood are so outstanding now?"
"It's from the bank... the financial advisor."
Lan Caiping was a little moved: "This job is really good. Let me tell you, if you have a financial consultant at home, you will definitely get rich. Now you can't put money in the bank, and the value will depreciate. If you have money to buy a house, then you can still I couldn't buy anything. So I had no other choice, so I put the money in the stock market. What made me angry was 300,000, and now I only have 20,000 left. What do you think I should do? This financial consultant is better, basically. Stable value added.”
Xue Sumei waved her hands with a look of disgust on her face: "No, this is the person you are introducing to. What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, yes, yes, that show, how old is he this year?"
"It seems to be about the same age as Taozi and Weiwei. You can ask for details yourself." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I heard that the young man is very handsome. He is about 1.8 meters tall. He returned from studying abroad. The most important thing is, do you know how much his annual income is?"
Lan Caiping asked, "How much?" She likes a rich son-in-law, and her daughter also likes a rich boyfriend. You can live a good life only if you don't lack money. Her daughter's partners over the years have not been in poor conditions, which she is very happy about.
"Seven figures!"
Looking at Lan Caiping who was checking with that "one hundred, one million, one million", Xue Sumei shook her head and couldn't understand how this intelligent person could tease her for so many years: "Don't forget it, one million."
"Oh, it's really a million. How much money is it?"
Liu Xiu smiled and nodded: "This rich family has many reasons and right and wrong. Our small family has different values from theirs. We can't socialize and are exhausted. This child is not like that. He He came from an ordinary background and got to where he is now thanks to his own efforts. He should be considered a young talent now, right? He doesn’t have much money, but it’s definitely a lot. He must have no problem living a good life. Where can he find such conditions, right? ?”
"Xiu, then what you said is great, like a perfect man." Lan Caiping said curiously: "With his conditions, how can he still be single now? Is there something wrong with him? "
"It's impossible, he's just too picky. He's in too good of a condition, and there are too few girls who are worthy of him, and young people are like that, they love each other, they talk about how they feel, what do you think we were doing at that time? With these words, isn’t it just an introduction and we think it’s good and we get together? Isn’t it good after so many years?”
After sighing for a moment, Liu Xiu continued: "I'm not praising you, Caiping. As far as Weiwei's conditions are concerned, he really has no choice. He must have good looks, a good figure, and a good job. Although there is a gap Let’s be a bit bold, but since we are girls, we can still get along. It’s just that I can’t say for sure, but if we meet and chat, no one can say for sure, don’t you think?”
Xue Sumei nodded, it doesn't matter how good Lan Weiwei's conditions are, just forget it like that. What she recognizes is this 'feeling'. Her own daughter Yang Tao feels it every day. She didn't think so in the past, but now she feels that this feeling is really important. Of course, she met a good person. She felt like a star fruit. She registered and received the certificate after only ten days of knowing each other. She got married in less than two months and got pregnant too soon. . As for the annual salary of one million, forget it, it's not as much as her precious son-in-law making at home raising his uncle. Even if she really becomes Lan Caiping, she will be defeated by her subordinates.
Lan Caiping nodded. She thought the conditions were good and a good match for her daughter...
Liu Xiu took out a note from the bag behind him: "This note is the phone number of his father Li Zhaoxian. This old man used to be the director of the Personnel Bureau. He was very popular back then. Now he is not bad either. There are also former ones." I have some connections here. The most important thing is that my mother is dead, so I can marry my daughter without being angry with her mother-in-law. Caiping, if you are interested, just call and make an appointment. This child is usually very busy with work. On Saturdays I only have time for a blind date on Sunday, so it would be good to contact his dad first and meet and chat."
"Although it mainly depends on fate, I think this idea is good, and the chance of success is higher, right." Lan Caiping nodded and said thoughtfully: "How about... I call you now and ask? I Go over and talk to his father first?"
Liu Xiu and Xue Sumei nodded in unison, agreeing with this idea.
As soon as she thought of it, Lan Caiping called the number on the note: "Hello? How are you? Is this Mr. Li Zhaoxian?"
After a conversation, we made an appointment with our children to meet on Saturday, and also made an appointment for them to meet tomorrow to communicate about each other's situation, so that we could talk to our children later and have a detailed understanding first.
Lan Caiping hung up the phone and looked at the two good sisters: "We have an appointment. I will meet him first tomorrow."
Liu Xiu nodded: "Okay, I think there is hope this time. You can have a good chat with me."
"I know, don't worry. If it really happens, I'll treat you to a good rub."
"If you don't succeed, why don't you rub it? Oh, I have such good intentions..."
"If you can't do it, you have to rub it. If you still think about our family Weiwei after such a good thing, you must not treat your old friend badly. It's just me going to meet someone, and I'm a little embarrassed... otherwise..." Lan Caiping thought for a while and said hesitantly: "How about you two accompany me to take a look?"
Liu Xiu waved her hands and shook her head: "I won't go with you. I have agreed with my daughter-in-law tomorrow that we will take the children for a walk together. That Sumei, you can go with her. You can also say that. Come over and help us have a nice chat."
"Then what's the point of following me? If I don't go, I won't go." Xue Sumei shook her head repeatedly.
"Oh, Sumei, just come with me and have a look." Lan Caiping begged: "You also watched Weiwei grow up, and she is still a good friend with your Taozi. Now Taozi has found such a good friend. Man, I am also filial to you, but I am envious of you. You can't just look at us as sisters for so many years. We usually make troubles, and this big thing cannot be delayed. Please help me, Sumei, I beg you. is you."
The conversation was so comfortable that Xue Sumei smiled from ear to ear: "Then I'll accompany you to have a look?"
"Oh, thank you so much, Sumei. Don't worry, no matter if it works or not, I will treat you two to a big meal after the two children meet."
………
"So are you really going tomorrow?" Yang Tao asked while eating after hearing what his mother had said.
"I've agreed, why don't I go?" Xue Sumei sighed: "What did you say Weiwei did? I'm shameless too. If someone apologizes to me, I can't help but forgive them. , I am really cheap..."
Su Qing comforted her aunt: "What are you talking about, aunt? Aunt Lan doesn't know about Weiwei's affairs either. If she knew, she would probably sincerely apologize to you."
"Su Qing, you don't know, I used to lecture Tao Zi, telling her that she was kind, so I felt wronged. Today I discovered that we two are the same, hey..."
"Mom, it's good to be kind. I was attracted by Taozi's pure eyes." Wang Yan said with a smile: "And Taozi attended her best friend's wedding before and went with that Lan Weiwei. The two of them didn't break up, it was fine. My son is still chatting on the phone. You don’t have to bear any burden, it doesn’t matter. To be honest, I have to thank her. Otherwise, how could I have a relationship with such an excellent woman as Tao Zi, let alone get married now and give birth next year? It’s a child. Just keep socializing and it’ll be fine.”
Sure enough, before her birthday, Yang Tao's chubby best friend, named Li Hongli, married her hundredth blind date just like in the original drama, and went with Yang Tao and Lan Weiwei. Although Yang Tao was pregnant, she was not able to take part in the original drama with three sisters lying on the same bed, each having their own thoughts and wanting to have a good time. But Lan Weiwei still pitifully expressed his apology and repentance to Yang Tao, but Yang Tao was not good enough to refuse, so that was all. The relationship is still going well now, and we really have a few casual conversations.
Wang Yan didn't care about this at all. He only said it once during the Lan Weiwei incident, and never again since then. It doesn't matter whether he has social contact with Lan Weiwei or not, it has no impact on their lives, so he won't even mention it. But according to his observation, Carambola just copes with it. As Jiao Yang said, their relationship with Lan Weiwei is neither far nor close, that's all.
"That's what I said, but I couldn't help but murmur in my heart." Xue Sumei said: "Hey, you guys said, if Lan Weiwei really falls in love with that person, I will tell Lan Weiwei's past things How about telling them?”
Duan Xifeng shook his head and smiled: "You, that is to say, you can't do this. Where did Taozi's kindness come from? Isn't it a good character inherited from you?"
"I'm really saying that now it seems that kindness is not necessarily a good character. It's really just who knows who suffers."
Yang Tao smiled and said: "Okay, Mom, come and eat quickly. It's been a long time since this happened. Don't worry about it anymore. Let's live our lives well and don't think about useless things."
"Oh, forget it, that's all. Who told us not to be ruthless? We will be bullied." Xue Sumei sighed again: "No more, no more, let's eat, eat, taste what I have today How about this craftsmanship? I think it may not be very good. When it comes to cooking, she also cares about her mood. I let Lan Caiping influence me today, so maybe I didn't show it."
Wang Yan lovingly said: "How can you not, Mom, you are too humble. With your skills, you can make a rare delicacy. It is no less generous than the master chef in the restaurant. It is delicious." very."
"Oops, I was a little slow, and you snatched the words from my mouth." Duan Xifeng joked, livening up the atmosphere.
Xue Sumei smiled heartily: "You two, one's mouth is better than the other's."
The family chatted and laughed while eating, which relieved the bad mood of the head of the family and created daily harmony and warmth...
