“Of course.”
Just like that, the four members of the Su family suddenly joined in. The seven of them surrounded the table and ate the corn noodles.
The Old Master was very happy and ate two big bowls. “When I was in the army, the army was stationed in the northeast. This was the most common food in the canteen. I haven’t had this taste in many years. It was handmade by your family, right?”
Yang Meirong quickly nodded. “Yes, Uncle. We made it ourselves.”
“You must be Mian, right?” Mrs. Su looked at the little girl sitting next to Su Yu and looked at her carefully.
Upon hearing Mrs. Su call her name, Huo Mian immediately stood up.
“Hello, Mrs. Su.”
“Sit down, sit down. You don’t have to be so polite. Don’t be nervous.”
Mrs. Su vaguely remembered seeing this child at the hospital.
She then thought back to Su Yu’s car accident and the series of subtle reactions after he was discharged from the hospital.
Mrs. Su immediately understood what was going on. Although this nurse didn’t look that delicate, her son definitely liked her for a reason.
“In-law… To be honest, we’re here today… to propose marriage.”
Old Master Su had always been swift and decisive when it came to settling matters. He was a man of few words.
Therefore, he went straight to the point after taking a sip of water.
Yang Meirong was shocked…
Su Yu’s father was an honest man. He took out a silver suitcase from behind him.
Then, he opened it and there were piles of cash notes laying inside…
“In-law, this is three million yuan… We all have the custom of giving betrothal gifts in the North… I don’t know how much other people give, but because we came in a hurry, we didn’t withdraw much. Just treat this as a deposit for the children’s wedding. We’ll immediately make up for what we need later.”
“Pfff…” Zhixin almost choked on his noodles.
Three million? A deposit?
This, this, this… this wasn’t a dream, right?
Huo Mian was also shocked; she didn’t care how much the betrothal gift was, she only wanted to know why Su Yu’s family wanted to propose marriage.
Why did they call her mother-in-law? What was going on?
Huo Mian secretly stepped on Su Yu’s foot and whispered angrily into his ear, “Su Yu, what’s going on?”
“It’s exactly like what you have seen,” Su Yu said happily.
“How dare you trick me?” Huo Mian was furious.
“It’s precisely because I’m serious that I brought my entire family here to propose marriage… If I were to trick you, would I need to use my grandfather? Do you think anyone can meet my grandfather?”
Su Yu wasn’t bluffing; Grandpa Su’s military rank was so high that even the governor would tremble in fear.
The reason why the Su Family had been standing strong all these years was that too many people in the family had joined the army and held important positions.
Moreover, the Su family had never participated in scheming wars. The Old Master had dedicated his entire life to the country, so he was full of righteousness and confidence.
Huo Mian almost went crazy upon hearing that it was really Su Yu’s grandfather.
She had no idea how high Su Yu’s grandfather’s military rank was.
However, according to the rumors outside, Su Yu’s grandfather often held meetings in the capital city, and he was always with big shots.
It was not something that ordinary people could look up to…
Mrs. Su took out a red cloth bag. It was quite big.
She put it in her arms, opened it, and took out the items one by one.
“In-law, I prepared a dragon-phoenix bracelet, necklace, and phoenix crown for Yu a long time ago… Now that we’re here to propose marriage, I brought them here and am going to give them to Mian. If they’re happy together, I’ll be happy too.”
Yang Meirong was at a loss for words when she saw the Su family’s actions.
Yang Meirong glanced at her daughter; Huo Mian was still scolding Su Yu.
But to everyone, it seemed more like they were whispering to each other intimately.
“Ahem… Mian,” Yang Meirong coughed and called out to Huo Mian.
