Su Qingyu stopped.
Mother Su took two steps and saw that Su Qingyu didn’t follow. She turned around and followed her gaze, and stopped when she saw a man.
Who was that person?
Staring at her daughter so unscrupulously! lecher! She glared at the man and was about to pull Qingyu away, but she didn’t expect that man to come towards them!
This, this, were people so arrogant nowadays? The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
She pulled Su Qingyu and wanted to leave quickly.
“Mom, he is Lu Bocheng.” Su Qingyu grabbed Mother Su’s hand.
“Who? Ah!”
There were a lot of people at the gate of the town. Those from neighboring villages came to the market early in the morning, carrying burdens and dragging their families with them. Although Lu Bocheng had long arms and legs, it still took him a while to get through the crowd.
When he walked up to the mother-in-law, he timidly said, “Uncle, uncle, aunt…” His face turned red.
Su Qingyu took one look and laughed.
Mother Su initially didn’t know how to react. Seeing Su Qingyu’s smile, she lightly patted her on the shoulder before turning around and responding. Then, she carefully observed Lü Bocheng.
Su Qigyu’s parents were not happy about the marriage. When the betrothal was being arranged, Wang Shi went to the town privately, and together with the second aunt of the Su family, they arranged the marriage with Lu’s mother without telling the family and the couple.
Mother Su has never even met the other person.
After Father Su inquired about the character of the person, he was even more displeased.
He had farmland, a shop, and a small fortune in the town, and even with such good conditions, he couldn’t study. His family’s Qingsong Qingyang was so eager to study but his family didn’t let them go.
The Lu family had the conditions for him to study, but Lu Bocheng not only failed to achieve anything in his studies, he also flirted with cats and dogs, caused trouble everywhere, and did not do serious things. Mother Su didn’t have a good impression of him.
Even though she heard a few words from her children two days ago, her impression of him had not changed much.
Seeing him at this time, he was tall and straight, his eyebrows were bright, his face was handsome, and his clothes were clean, which added a sense of joy.
Looking at him again, she saw that his eyes were pure and he didn’t look like a playboy with a bad style, which added to her joy.
Su Qingnyu saw that her mother was only sizing up the other person, her face turned red and her head almost dropped to her chest. She asked with a smile: “Are you waiting for me?”
Lu Bocheng breathed an almost invisible breath and nodded: “Well, I’ve been waiting for you at the gate of the town for two days.”
“Why are you waiting for me?”
Lu Bocheng was about to speak when he saw Mother Su looking at him intently and hesitated again.
After squeaking for a long time, he finally managed to say: “You haven’t had breakfast yet, I’ll take you to eat first.”
After hearing this, Mother Su said, “I’ve had it, I ate it at home…”
Before she finished speaking, she was pinched by Su Qingyu. She turned around to look and heard her daughter say: “I’m not full. I just want to see how the is food in the town.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Su became anxious, eager to speak on her behalf.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bocheng had already talked about several places, and his daughter had also followed suit.
Seeing Su Qingyu blinking at her twice, she couldn’t help but follow her into the town.
While walking, she scrutinized Lü Bocheng and inquired, “Today, I brought Qingyu to purchase dowry items. I don’t know if your family has any preferences or customs. I’m afraid she might displease her mother-in-law after entering the door.”
When Lu Bocheng heard this, his face turned red again.
“No, no, there’s nothing specific. Feel free to choose; there’s no need to prepare anything. Just bring your personal belongings; everything else is already at home.”
Mother Su shook her head: “That’s not possible. Your family has already paid the betrothal money, and our family still has to prepare the dowry. Otherwise, when she gets married and people talk about her, we as parents will feel uncomfortable.”
Lu Bocheng led the way, not knowing how to answer, so he just scratched his head in embarrassment.
Meeting his future mother-in-law for the first time was so stressful that he didn’t know what to do with my hands and feet.
All of them entered the town while talking. Lu Bocheng wanted to take them to a restaurant. Su’s mother did not agree, so she found a nearby noodle stall and pulled Su Qingyu to sit down.
Lu Bocheng saw that this store also had a good reputation in the town, so he complied with her wishes without insisting.
The boss obviously recognized Lu Bocheng and teased him with a few words, making him blush even more. Mother Su happily chatted with the store owner now. In the end, the store owner was happy and put several more pieces of meat in their noodle bowls.
Mother Su was enquiring while talking to Lu Bocheng and almost made Lu Bocheng run away from the question.
After finally finishing the noodles, Su Qingnao saw that Lu Bocheng was uncomfortable, so she said to her mother: “Mom, go to the clothes shop in front and wait for me. I’ll say a few words to him and come over to find you later.”
Mother Su didn’t agree at first, but seeing Su Qingyu insisting, she had no choice but to agree. Before she left, Lu Bocheng quickly paid the money before she even took out her wallet.
Mother Su felt even more happy.
This kid had a keen eye.
As she walked, she looked back and soon entered the clothes shop.
Lu Bocheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.
When he turned around, he saw Su Qingyu looking at him with a playful look on her face, his face turning red again.
“What do you want from me?” Su Qingyu cleared her throat and asked.
Lü Bocheng then took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to Su Qingying, saying, “This is the money I’ve saved. You can use it to buy some jewelry, fabrics, and other large items. We already have furniture at home, so there’s no need to bring them over. If we separate households in the future, you’ll have to move out, and it might be inconvenient for you alone. It’s better to hire someone when the time comes.”
Su Qingyu looked at the purse stretched out in front of her and did not move.
“My family gave me money for the dowry.”
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Lu Bocheng insisted: “I don’t want you to be talked about by Wu Shi in the future. Moreover, we agreed that day that even when I’m not around, at all times and seasons, you would burn offerings for my mother and my grandparents. What’s mine is yours…”
Su Qingyu reached out and took it before he finished speaking.
Seeing him sigh in relief, she smiled.
Seeing her mother poking her head at the door of the cloth shop, she asked, “Is that all?”
Lu Bocheng also followed her gaze and saw Su’s mother looking at them, so he could only say, “Well, I’ll wait for you to marry me for other things.” I’ll talk to you again.”
Su Qingyu said hello, and the two of them got up and left the noodle shop.
Lu Bocheng watched her walk into the cloth shop before looking back.
He turned around and moved, and as soon as he turned into the South Street alley, someone grabbed his neck.
