Chapter 455: Chapter 439: Show Off (Two in One Chapter)

Ye Family’s old neighbor looked as excited as if she had discovered a new continent and reproachfully said to Ye Mother, "Suying, you’re really not being upfront with us. When I used to ask about Ye Man’s marriage you’d never want to talk about, yet suddenly there’s a wealthy family as in-laws popping up? What exactly does the groom’s family do? Could it be someone introduced them and they just met?"

While asking this, she speculated in her mind, wondering how a wealthy and impressive family could take a liking to a girl like Ye Man, who had such an average appearance? Could it be that the man had some kind of flaw?

Hmm, that couple I saw earlier looked well-maintained and particularly young. If it’s really their son, then he can’t be some widowed old man or the like...

So maybe there’s something physically wrong with him, missing an arm or a broken leg? Or maybe there’s an intellectual disability, or he’s a simpleton or madman for all I know?

Another possibility is that even though the parents look decent, there could be a genetic mutation, and their son could very well end up being particularly short and especially ugly.

In just a brief moment, her mind whirled through seven or eight rounds of thoughts. Her gossipy spirit increased, and for a moment, her face even revealed a hint of schadenfreude, awaiting a good laugh. Even though she quickly composed herself, Ye Mother’s eyes didn’t miss it.

Having lived for several decades, Ye Mother had seen all types of people and could guess the other’s thoughts quite accurately, and inwardly she snorted with laughter. She kept a straight face, however, and even put on a big smile:

"An introduction? Xiu Juan, you’re really behind the times. Go and ask, how many young people these days are interested in arranged marriages by their parents and matchmakers?

My Xiaoman and her boyfriend are truly in a self-made romance. They were complete strangers walking on the road, and just then, my Xiaoman was about to be hit by a car, but the young man, being kind-hearted, quickly reached out and pulled her back."

Thinking back to how she had carefully questioned her daughter last night about how she and Gu Feng had met, Ye Mother spoke confidently and authoritatively: "It must be their fate, just like that, the two of them saw eye to eye, love at first sight."

"Ah, so it really is fate?" The neighbor called "Xiu Juan" didn’t mind being called old-fashioned at all. Seeing Ye Mother willing to talk, her spirits lifted, and she clung to Ye Mother refusing to let go.

Seeing the two women likely to chat for quite a while, Ye Father shook his head and reminded Ye Mother, "I’m going upstairs now. Don’t talk for too long. Xiaoman and the others said they’d be back for dinner soon."

"Alright, alright, your cooking skills are excellent, didn’t you say you wanted to show off for your son-in-law? Go on and get ready. Just wait for me to enjoy a comfortable meal; it’s about time. Otherwise, I might as well wait for them downstairs and go up together when they come back," Ye Mother said impatiently, waving her hand at Ye Father.

"Suit yourself."

Ye Father saw that he was thoroughly ignored, as the two continued their heated conversation, shaking his head helplessly, he went upstairs on his own. He had no intention of wasting his time on idle chatter, failing to understand how women could enjoy gossiping so much. Given the choice, he would rather go back and cook an extra dish or watch a TV drama.

Ye Mother glanced at Ye Father’s retreating back and complained to Xiu Juan with a smile, "Can you believe this man? He clearly cooks better than I do, but he’s always so reluctant to do it, waiting for me to serve him. Normally, only his daughter can get him to lift a finger. Now that we’ve added a son-in-law, I’ve been slaving away for him all my life, and it’s almost harder than finding a needle in the sea to get him to serve me just once."

"Cough, aren’t all men like that? The one at my house is also my responsibility. Eh, did Old Ye just say your son-in-law is coming to eat later? For real? Your son-in-law really isn’t picky, is he?" Xiu Juan’s eyes lit up. She wasn’t interested in Ye Mother’s complaints about Ye Father, but that didn’t stop her from keenly picking out the information she wanted.

"Exactly, the two of them went out early this morning to pick out wedding rings. As for jewelry, her mother-in-law had prepared everything early on—gold, diamonds, jade, crystals, pearls, there were as many as thirty-six sets. But Xiaoman’s future mother-in-law still didn’t think it was enough, telling Xiaoman to pick more if she liked anything since she wasn’t short on money."

Ye Mother continued to show off with a beaming smile, "You know Xiaoman too, she usually doesn’t like to wear gold and silver at all, thinking those items are enough, no need to buy more. But even if there’s a lot of jewelry, they still need to choose their own wedding rings, right?"
