Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: The Date Has Not Been Set Yet

Several people glanced at the two taels of meat in Zhu Yun’s hand, with an involuntary twitch at the corner of their mouths—this bit of meat was not even enough for one piece each.

Yang Xiaoxi huffed, "We have plenty of meat, just take that home and eat it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun’s smile immediately faded, "Xiaoxi, are you looking down on me, despising me for being poor?"

Seeing her react this way, Yang Xiaoxi felt a headache coming on, "Don’t pull this stunt."

Zhu Yun didn’t push any further. She let go of her child’s hand and said, "Go play with Brother Xiaobei, I’ll help your aunt."

After saying that, Zhu Yun delivered the meat to the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and came out to squat down and start helping Yang Xiaoxi.

Yang Xiaoxi was both speechless and angry. The other men were also stunned by Zhu Yun’s thick-skinned behavior. Shen Mianmian furrowed her brows, but seeing that Zhu Yun didn’t seem to be making trouble, she didn’t say anything further.

Over the years, one reason they could tolerate Zhu Yun was that, although she loved to take petty advantages, play the sympathy card to borrow money, and didn’t do anything else too bad—coupled with her two skinny children—the adults let things slide considering the children and chose not to truly quarrel with Zhu Yun.

Thus, they implicitly allowed Zhu Yun to join them for the meal again.

Zhu Yun had sharp eyes. Shortly after squatting down, she spotted the ring on Shen Mianmian’s hand, her eyes lighting up, "Wow! Mianmian, are you wearing a diamond ring? Are you planning to get married? When’s the wedding? I’d love to join and have a drink to celebrate."

"No date set yet."

Marriage was a happy occasion, so Shen Mianmian didn’t deliberately avoid Zhu Yun.

"So it must be soon, right? Since you’re wearing the ring," Zhu Yun rambled on, "We don’t have such practices in our area, only city folks like to do these things. Mianmian, moving to the city is great for you, look at you wearing a big diamond ring—if it were in the countryside, having a wristwatch would already be pretty good!"

Before Shen Mianmian could reply, Yang Xiaoxi interjected, "Can you talk less? Your spit is going to spray all over the food."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun kept quiet for a while. She was inherently lazy and disliked working; after a little bit, she complained of back pain, "My back pain is acting up again, I can’t bend over. You guys carry on. I need to rest. I don’t mean to be rude, but all of you here are not short of money. Why trouble yourselves doing this? Just hire a nanny or go to a big restaurant and life would be so much better. Why fuss over doing it yourself?"

Shen Mianmian responded indifferently, "If we truly went to a big restaurant, you wouldn’t have had the chance to come over and eat today."

Hearing this, Zhu Yun pouted; she had to admit it was true.

She glanced around slyly and saw He Xiaobei returning to the room to bring out some snacks, so she waved at He Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, come here. Let me see what you’ve got."

He Xiaobei, aware of her character, chose not to approach, "This is for my younger brother and sister to eat."

He Xiaobei had a generous nature, never stingy with his own things and acted even more considerately in front of Zhu Yun’s children, always giving them snacks whenever they visited. But he didn’t like Zhu Yun.

"They’ve been overheating recently; I need to check if they can have these." Without He Xiaobei coming over, Zhu Yun walked over herself. Seeing He Xiaobei had candies and some pastries, she pinched a piece and put it in her mouth, "Pretty sweet. Alright, let them have some."

He Xiaobei pursed his lips—such an adult snatching food was something he had never witnessed before.

Way too greedy.
