Mo Ronghua and her husband were so excited to see their future daughter-in-law when they finally arrived at Shi Lichun’s house.
When these tourists arrived and saw the three beautiful villas in front of them, their expressions were filled with disbelief.
After getting out of the car, Duoduo’s big eyes lit up, and his expression was one of surprise and excitement.
He asked loudly, “Boss Shi, do these three houses belong to your family?”
Shi Lichun smiled and said, “This belongs to the three of us. Each of us has a house.”
“It’s so beautiful!” Duoduo exclaimed. “How much does it cost to build such a villa here? Tens of millions?”
Although it was a rural area, the countryside was good. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the air was fresh. It was not as noisy and crowded as the big cities. Instead, it had a quiet and elegant atmosphere.
Duoduo had a plan a long time ago. When he was old, he would definitely go to the countryside to retire and live a leisurely life.
However, he was still young and had to work hard!
Although he was a rich second-generation heir, he had ambitions. He was not the kind of rich second-generation heir who only knew how to eat, drink, and play.
“Ha, tens of millions?” Shi Lichun was stunned by this number. He shook his head and said, “No, no. We don’t need so much money to build a house in the countryside. From the foundation to the renovations, the cost of my house is only 400,000!”
“Ha, 400,000? So cheap?” Many people exclaimed in disbelief, “Even if it’s in the countryside, it’s built so beautifully. The cost must be huge. I didn’t expect it to be so cheap!”
For example, the villa that Duoduo’s family lived in was bought for 30 million.
Shi Lichun said in amusement, “How can a house in the countryside be compared to a big city? In a place like a countryside, the materials for building a house are all bought by the owner. Many pieces of furniture will also be made by workers hired by owner. They include items such as wardrobes, tables, and so on. Therefore, these expenses add up to another 400,000!”
As he greeted the guests, he said, “Come in and sit for a while. Do you want tea or something to drink?”
“I’ll have some water!”
“I’ll have some water too!”
“Boss Shi, I miss your navel orange now!”
The tourists started talking.
There was a tea table for guests in the living room, a sofa, and a large living room. Even if so many people came in together, it did not feel crowded.
These tourists were indeed a little tired after a day of traveling and driving. They wanted to lie on the sofa and rest immediately.
Fortunately, they paid attention to their image and sat quietly and elegantly beside the coffee table or on the sofa.
Shi Lichun took out a kettle and a clean cup. He placed it on the table and poured some water.
Then, he boiled hot water and took out a special Yixing clay pot to make tea.
In the end, he took out some navel oranges from another storeroom and cut them into pieces before carrying them out on a plate!
While he was doing all this, Mo Ronghua and his wife carefully looked around, their eyes filled with disappointment.
Mrs. Mo whispered into her husband’s ear, “Looks like our daughter-in-law isn’t at home. Eldest Uncle seems to be the only one at home! Hubby, where do you think our daughter-in-law can go now?”
Mo Ronghua was dumbfounded.
How would he know where she went? He wasn’t from here!
He thought for a moment and said, “It’s very likely that she went to the mountain! It’s time to pick oranges. She might be helping on the mountain.”
Mrs. Mo thought for a moment and agreed. “Our daughter-in-law is so sensible. She must be helping on the mountain now! Yes, if we had known earlier, we would have gone straight to the mountain and seen our daughter-in-law earlier!”
Mo Ronghua had no choice but to remind her, “Wifey, this daughter-in-law doesn’t seem to know us. Wouldn’t it be bad for us to disturb this child?”
Mrs. Mo looked at her husband suspiciously and said, “Hubby, don’t tell me you want to give up. Didn’t we agree before we came? We’re just here to take a look and won’t disturb her. What’s wrong with that? However, speaking of which, I want to leave a good impression in front of our daughter-in-law! I can’t be harmed by those online videos and jokes. Most of them say that the mother-in-law of a wealthy family is an evil mother-in-law. I’ll definitely be a good mother-in-law. I’ll definitely be a good mother-in-law who dotes on her!”
Mo Ronghua laughed and said, “Yes, yes, yes. Honey, you’ll definitely be a good mother-in-law. But honey, this child doesn’t seem to know about our existence, right? I heard that she doesn’t even know who the father of the child in her womb is. If we rashly go forward and tell her that this child is our son’s and that we’re her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she’ll treat us as lunatics!”
Actually, they had already discussed this question countless times!
However, his wife always had the urge to go forward and acknowledge her as her daughter-in-law!
Mrs. Mo immediately looked conflicted. Then, she said with a resentful expression, “It’s all our son’s fault. If he had worked harder, he could have married her. There was no need to wait there. How long would we have to wait? Don’t tell me we have to wait until my eldest grandson grows up and gets married?”
Mo Ronghua patted the back of her hand and comforted her with a smile. “You really can’t blame your son. In his situation, his pride is so strong. He definitely won’t be willing to face Gu Qingming in that state.”
“Sigh!” Mrs. Mo sighed softly and said, “Forget it. Let’s just acknowledge her as our daughter-in-law first. Don’t wait for our son to woo her; she may think that it’s not easy to enter a wealthy family and reject our son.”
Most importantly, Gu Qingming’s family did not lack money.
The daughter of the richest man in Sea City was worth billions of yuan.
In Sea City, the Gu family was also one of the top wealthy families.
Therefore, letting her marry into a rich family was just icing on the cake.
If she were to marry into a wealthy family in the capital and suffer the aggrievement of a little wife, she would definitely choose to go home and inherit the family assets.
While the husband and wife were discussing, Shi Lichun had already brought out the cut orange.
Because there were many people, he prepared a few plates.
“Wow, this is it! It smells so good, so good!”
Before Shi Lichun entered, everyone smelled an orange fragrance.
“Eh, this orange smells so good. It’s completely different from what we bought on the street just now.”
“Indeed, the ones on the streets don’t have any fragrance!”
…
Shi Lichun brought the plates in and placed them on the coffee table and dining table. He smiled and greeted them, “You guys eat. These were also picked by my family.”
Before Shi Lichun could say anything, everyone snatched their share and started eating!
“Yes, that’s it! I love it!”
“I like it too!”
“What I ate just now made me wonder if it was fake navel orange?”
