Watching Mo Siyu’s retreating figure, Tang Mingli always had the feeling that he had been tricked by Mo Siyu.
Xiao Yue and Mo Siyu were indeed preparing for their engagement, and Mo Siyu should indeed call him uncle, but this title of uncle wasn’t for free—he’d have to give out red packets.
No matter how you looked at it, he was at a loss.
"Zhengde, is there not enough food? If the Mo Family comes with more people and it’s not enough, what do we do?" Zhang Hualian went to the market early in the morning to buy food, but still felt that it wasn’t enough, so she went to buy more.
Tang Zhengde had started cooking early and when he heard about the engagement decision from Zhang Hualian, his heart was unhappy.
His daughter, whom he had doted on since she was little, was getting married so soon.
Granny Tang was also brought into the county by Tang Zhengyuan.
When it comes to discussing engagement matters, even if Granny Tang isn’t her biological grandmother, she’s a grandmother in name.
Wang Aihua was clueless at first.
But later, when she heard Tang Zhengyuan mention it, she was dumbfounded.
Tang Yue was getting engaged.
"Zhengyuan, didn’t Xiao Yue receive your brother’s favor? Why is she getting engaged so early?" Wang Aihua’s face was full of gossip, almost dying of curiosity. She asked again, "How old is the man, and what does he do?"
Tang Zhengyuan gave her a look and warned, "The man is Mingli’s high school classmate, Wang Aihua I’m telling you, today is a big day, if you cause any trouble, I’m divorcing you."
"Can’t I even ask?" mumbled Wang Aihua, but she didn’t dare to ask anymore.
A high school classmate of Mingli, that doesn’t sound very impressive.
That’s what Wang Aihua thought, but she didn’t have the guts to ask out loud.
Tang Mingli had specially arranged his factory work so he could free up this day, and he came early to the Tang Family home to help.
Although it wasn’t the official engagement, since there was the intention of forming a kinship, they must make the other party feel that the Tang Family treats this marriage with seriousness.
The Tang Family members were busy. Ever since Tang Yue got up in the morning, she had changed her clothes several times, constantly choosing outfits in her room. Although they were all clothes she liked, the thought of having to meet her future mother-in-law still made Tang Yue a bit nervous.
Mo Siyu’s house was just as busy, Mo Xiaolin kept making sure that all the things that needed to be brought were not forgotten.
They bought two bottles of Moutai from Luo Wen, her second brother’s son-in-law.
They also brought two packs of Zhonghua Cigarettes and other various snacks and drinks, and Mo Xiaolin didn’t miss a single item.
Seeing all this stuff, Zheng Chunhong couldn’t help but click her tongue and said, "Xiaolin, today is just a marriage proposal visit, and you’ve brought what looks like the entire dowry?"

In the morning, Mo Xiaolin and her whole family came to the Tang Family’s house with great importance. Mo Siyu and Mo Xiaolin both changed into new clothes, and although the eldest brother and sister-in-law and the second brother and sister-in-law were not dressed as formally in new clothes, they wore their best outfits.
Mo Xiaofeng and Mo Xiaolin carried the gifts, and when the group of six people arrived at the Tang Family’s house, the Tang Family was somewhat surprised.
Besides Mo Siyu and his mother, Mo Xiaolin’s two brothers came as well, and the sisters-in-law were also there.
The Tang Family warmly welcomed them in.
Previously, because of Mo Xiaorui’s matter, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian had met Mo Xiaoxian and Deng Yulan, while Mo Xiaofeng and Zheng Chunhong were villagers, so they were all familiar faces.
Tang Zhengde’s gaze fell on Mo Siyu. He had met him once before, but at that time, he only felt that Mo Siyu was like him, having run around everywhere, which he found endearing, without any other thoughts. But this meeting was different; Mo Siyu was going to marry his daughter, whom he had raised with great care from a young age.
Tang Zhengde’s gaze started to become more discerning.
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang," Mo Siyu greeted with his back straight, trying to keep a slight smile at the corners of his mouth to look not so serious and more approachable, wishing to make a better impression on Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang.
Even though his gaze instinctively wanted to search for Tang Yue, he still held back, afraid that it might give Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang a bad impression.
"Mm." The gaze of both Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian fell on Mo Siyu. Tang Zhengde wanted to be critical but eventually found that the person in front of him seemed to meet his standards for a son-in-law quite well.
