"You’ve been busy with this for so many days, it’s time you take a good rest," Xu Hai said calmly, although it was actually Yin Yang who came over in the morning and said Xu Mumu was too tired and needed to rest, which was why he didn’t call her.

"It’s alright, not too tired, a good night’s sleep will do," Xu Mumu shook her head, not needing to guess who wanted her to rest well.

But deep inside she was quite happy, feeling warm knowing Yin Yang cared about her like this.

Xu Mumu rested here for a while until it was noon, and the dishes were already prepared early.

Because of the fast-food shop, quite a few people came to eat here at noon; it’s all home-cooked dishes, with a good amount of meat in the meat dishes, not expensive, and you could get a variety, even take away, quite cost-effective.

So, the business at noon was exceptionally good, and Xu Mumu also helped out busily. She served dishes while Madam Chen was making meat patties on the other side, and the pre-made ones were all sold out in a short time.

Li Caixia also came over to help out. On the other side, the stationery business was also doing okay, and Xu Hai could handle it on his own.

Xu Minghui came directly to help after class. He didn’t have any classes in the afternoon, so after helping out here, he planned to go to the department store area in the afternoon.

Along with Xu Minghui came his girlfriend, the same Jiang Yuxiu that Xu Mumu had met.

As soon as Jiang Yuxiu arrived, she cheerfully greeted everyone and didn’t need to be told to join in to help Xu Mumu here.

Xu Mumu smiled, not expecting their meeting to be in such a situation. On the other side, Li Caixia glared at her silly son several times. Even for meeting the future daughter-in-law, it should be in a more formal setting. Coming over and making the girl work like this, does this girl really find her silly son acceptable?

Well, she not only finds him acceptable but also seems happy.

"Dear, there’s a lot of oil here, you might get your clothes dirty," Li Caixia wanted to tell Jiang Yuxiu to take a break. They haven’t married the girl yet, she’s still a guest. If they don’t do something well and leave a bad impression on the girl, her son finally has a girlfriend and she doesn’t want to mess it up.

"It’s okay, I stay at school, so I can wash it when I go back. Auntie, you’re so busy here, of course, we should come to help," Jiang Yuxiu said sweetly, trying her best to make a good impression on her future mother-in-law.

Even though she was pampered at home, she still did the work that needed to be done. Her mom said she was a girl, and when she marries in the future, if she knows nothing, life at her in-laws wouldn’t be easy, so she learned everything she needed to know.

This work isn’t hard; the business here is good, and they are all so busy. To avoid leaving a lazy impression on Li Caixia, of course, she helped out instead of waiting to be served, right?

"Mom, it’s fine, she’s very diligent. Just keep some extra meat for us later," Xu Minghui said calmly, but his ears were a bit red. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Originally, he didn’t plan to bring Jiang Yuxiu, but she insisted on coming, and he couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so he brought her along.

Li Caixia: ... This silly son absolutely can’t be hers; this silly behavior is just too embarrassing, awkwardly she smiled at Jiang Yuxiu, hoping the girl’s mind is simple.

For over a year working at the Women’s Federation, she had seen all kinds of people. Some girls seemed simple and kind but were actually very calculative. Although the girl is her son’s girlfriend and may be a future daughter-in-law, she won’t accept her so easily; she needs to observe her well.

She knows her own temperament, so there can only be one person causing a fuss at home, and when it comes to a daughter-in-law, it’s better if she’s obedient.

Otherwise, if she and her daughter-in-law quarrel in the future, the son will definitely side with the daughter-in-law. She’s seen plenty of sons forgetting their mothers after getting married.

Xu Mumu didn’t know her mother had thought this much. With Jiang Yuxiu helping, she did feel a lot more relaxed.

No matter how Jiang Yuxiu plans to impress the Xu family, Xu Mumu’s impression of her was pretty good.

Chasing after her brother for so long, and not minding the way he is, that has to be true love.

Jiang Yuxiu didn’t look bad either, youthful and serene, with a gentle aura that wasn’t common among girls. At least being with her wasn’t annoying.

Madam Chen also glanced at Jiang Yuxiu several times; the girl looked quite decent, typical of what a city girl should be like, more than enough for her eldest grandson, who is pretty good himself, earning money now and being a college student with lots of potential. The girl has good taste.

Moreover, she was quick at work, not too talkative, and seemed to have the demeanor of a good future daughter-in-law. Madam Chen nodded approvingly in her heart.

Having suffered with a daughter-in-law like Li Caixia, Madam Chen was reluctant to get another similar daughter-in-law; Jiang Yuxiu seemed satisfactory in every aspect.

With Jiang Yuxiu helping, once they were done with the rush, all the dishes were sold out, and they still had plenty of ingredients left. Xu Hai had gone to the market early in the morning to buy them.

"Nai, I’m exhausted, how about we close up and go eat at a restaurant? Cooking again would be too much trouble, especially when there’s a restaurant right over there," Xu Mumu pointed to the nearby restaurant.

"That sounds good," Madam Chen nodded. Eating here was indeed quite rough. If it was just family, fine, but since Xu Minghui brought his girlfriend, eating here felt a bit inappropriate for a first meeting, should be more formal.

Li Caixia and Xu Hai had no objections. Meeting the future daughter-in-law shouldn’t be shabby and lose face; they need to maintain appearance, lest the girl’s family look down on them.

Thus, the whole family headed to the restaurant. By this time, the rush hour was over, so there were plenty of open tables when Xu Mumu and the others arrived.

"Dear, you can order whatever you like," Li Caixia handed the menu to Jiang Yuxiu, feeling more confident since making money, speaking more generously, no longer the frugal self from a couple of years ago.

"Thank you, Auntie," Jiang Yuxiu smiled shyly at Li Caixia, ordered two dishes, and handed the menu to Xu Mumu, "Let my sister order the rest."

Xu Mumu didn’t hesitate; she knew her family’s tastes well and quickly ordered a few dishes.

"Little brother, don’t move around," Xu Mumu held the little one next to her. Earlier the little guy had been playing with Xu Hai, but now that it was time to eat, he naturally came along.

The little one didn’t know what a future sister-in-law was; he was just curious about this sister.
