Chapter 633: As Though He Was Buying Vegetables

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The family was enjoying their afternoon tea, their faces filled with joy. However, Su Li seemed a bit downcast. It wasn’t that he was envious of his older brother, but he too craved praise. He too wanted to be free of worries about finding a wife in the future. He wanted to marry a good woman, to love her as his father loved his mother. Together with his wife, he would take care of his parents, ensuring the family’s continued happiness.

Su Li made a silent resolution. He too would learn culinary skills from his mother. Although he didn’t fully understand the concept of marriage, it didn’t stop him from wanting a wife.

After everyone finished their afternoon tea and Gu Zi was resting alone in the room, Su Li approached her. He said, “Mother, I want to learn cooking from you in the future, is that okay?”

Gu Zi looked at his earnest face and couldn’t help but laugh. She replied, “Of course, it’s a necessary life skill. I’d be happy to teach you. But may I ask why you want to learn to cook?”

In Gu Zi’s impression, her second son, although well-behaved, was much more playful than the eldest. His sudden interest in cooking was somewhat unexpected.

Seeing his mother’s approval, Su Li was overjoyed. Without beating around the bush, he said directly, “Mother, I want to be like my brother, not worrying about finding a wife in the future. Mother, I’m going to help my brother now!”

Gu Zi waved him off, watching as Su Li bounced out of the room. By dinner time, Lin Cheng and Li Hua had also returned home. The family gathered together, creating a lively atmosphere. Li Hua thanked Su Bing, “Thank you for saving some for your aunt. The almond soup was delicious. Next time you come to the shop, your aunt will make something delicious for you.”

Su Bing nodded, continuing to eat. His cheeks were rosy, and he looked more radiant than before, even a bit chubby. He looked surprisingly well-behaved. Mother Lin looked at her grandchildren, all of whom were becoming more and more lovable under her daughter’s care. She couldn’t bear to part with them.

She then turned to her son-in-law and daughter, trying to persuade them to stay, “Su Shen, Gu Zi, do you really have to rush back tonight? Why not stay here for a few more days?”

Su Shen replied, “Gu Zi and I have already discussed it. We plan to move the day after tomorrow, so we need to go back early to pack. Otherwise, we won’t have enough time.”

Gu Zi also nodded, adding, “Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t rush back tonight. But since we’re on the subject, we might as well tell you. Su Shen has prepared a gift for you, or to be precise, for mother. I’ll go get it.”

Just as Gu Zi was about to get up, Su Shen, who was sitting next to her, gently pressed her shoulder and stood up to fetch the gift himself.

With his long strides, he quickly returned with a package wrapped in red cloth. He handed it to Gu Zi, who placed it in front of her mother, Mother Lin, saying, “Mother, open it and see.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the package, eagerly watching as Mother Lin unwrapped a red booklet from the cloth. Upon seeing what it was, Mother Lin’s lips parted in surprise. Li Hua and Lin Cheng were also taken aback, and even the brothers and little Su Le were focused on the booklet. What could it be?

Gu Zi explained, “This is a house in town. Su Shen bought it as a base for our family in town. The deed is in mother’s name, so we don’t need to rent a house in town anymore. We have our own now.”

As Gu Zi spoke, she was filled with excitement. After all, her husband’s surprises came one after another, and she was somewhat overwhelmed.

She only found out on the way back that Su Shen had not only bought a villa in the city but also a house in town. It was a five-bedroom house, spacious enough for any family.

On the car ride back, when Su Shen casually said, “We needed a place to stay, so I bought it,” Gu Zi almost thought he was talking about buying groceries at the market. He bought houses as if they were nothing, displaying a casual display of wealth. Looking at his handsome face, Gu Zi felt his charm had greatly increased.

Seeing the astonished expressions of her parents and brother and sister-in-law, Gu Zi could fully understand their feelings. Who wouldn’t be surprised when their son-in-law not only gave a generous dowry, held a grand wedding, bought a house in the countryside, and now another one in town?

Mother Lin snapped out of her surprise and pushed the red booklet back, her tone firm, “Su Shen, why are you spending so much money again? Renting a house is also a way of living. When the shop makes more money in the future, we can buy our own house. And you two are moving to the city, you should sell this and buy a house in the city first. How could you buy us a house in town first? I can’t accept this!”
