Chapter 70 The Bizarre Zhou Family

After sending the items, Su Nuannuan returned to school.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Hong Xiu was already in the dormitory.

Upon seeing Hong Xiu, Su Nuannuan took out two aluminum lunch boxes from her bag and asked Hong Xiu.

"Ah Xiu, have you eaten?"

Hong Xiu, who was reading a book, looked up, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and answered.

"not yet."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan pushed the aluminum lunchbox in front of Hong Xiu and said...

"Perfect timing, here are two boxes of leftovers, let's eat them together for dinner."

After speaking, Su Nuannuan opened the lid of the lunchbox. The food had been packed and stored in her spatial storage, so it was still slightly warm.

Hong Xiu looked at the two large boxes full of meat and vegetables on the table, swallowed hard, and looked away with difficulty, saying to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, I...I don't need it anymore."

Su Nuannuan knew perfectly well that Hong Xiu was just being polite, so she ignored her and pulled her off the bed, making her sit on a stool.

"I brought this back especially for you. Besides, I can't possibly eat this much by myself, it would be such a waste to waste it."

Hong Xiu was still somewhat embarrassed. Su Nuannuan had taken good care of her lately. Although Su Nuannuan hadn't explicitly given her anything, she knew Su Nuannuan had taken advantage of her a lot. This made her feel very awkward. Hong Xiu wasn't good at refusing people, and faced with Su Nuannuan's enthusiasm, she stammered and couldn't find the words to say.

"me……"

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan knew that Hong Xiu was embarrassed. Looking at the food on the table, she thought for a moment and made a suggestion.

"How about you go to the cafeteria and get two servings of rice? That will be our staple food."

Su Nuannuan only brought back vegetables. Although the meat was delicious, it wasn't enough to fill her stomach. Su Nuannuan thought she should ask Hong Xiu to buy two servings of rice, just to make her feel a little better.

Knowing that Su Nuannuan was thinking of her, Hong Xiu finally agreed.

"Okay. Nuannuan, I'll go to the cafeteria now."

After saying that, Hong Xiu grabbed her two aluminum lunchboxes and ran towards the cafeteria.

After Hong Xiu left, Su Nuannuan put the lid back on the lunchbox and waited for Hong Xiu to come back so they could eat together.

Hong Xiu was quick; she returned in less than ten minutes with two boxes of rice. Seeing Su Nuannuan waiting for her, she quickly took out one box and handed it to her.

"It's warm, eat it quickly."

Looking into Hong Xiu's bright eyes, Su Nuannuan smiled.

"Let's eat together."

After getting Su Nuannuan a bowl of rice, Hong Xiu finally felt less embarrassed. Looking at the braised pork and roast duck crammed together in the lunchbox, her mouth involuntarily watered. She sent almost all of her monthly school allowance and her earnings home; she hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

Knowing Hong Xiu's situation, Su Nuannuan saw her like this but didn't show any unusual expression. She warmly invited her to eat.

Although the food was leftover, the braised pork had plenty of sauce, which Su Nuannuan had poured on top of the dish when she packed it up. Therefore, it still tasted delicious now.

Hong Xiu already knew that the two boxes of food were leftovers, but she showed no disgust whatsoever. On the contrary, after learning that they were unwanted dishes, she ate them even more heartily.

Su Nuannuan found it somewhat amusing. She hadn't expected that after mentioning Wang Meifang's refusal of the dishes, Hong Xiu would eat more naturally and wasn't as reserved as before.

Seeing how much Hong Xiu enjoyed her meal, Su Nuannuan's appetite improved even more. After they finished eating, Su Nuannuan realized that the two of them had actually eaten all the food and rice.

Seeing each other's clean lunchboxes, they both laughed.

After the two finished eating, Hong Xiu insisted on washing the four aluminum lunch boxes.

When Hong Xiu returned, the two of them began to busy themselves with their own things.

Just then, a noise outside the door caught their attention. "It must be Monroe and Xiuhua returning."

Su Nuannuan said this.

Sure enough, Zhou Menglu and Sun Xiuhua walked in after the door opened.

After not seeing her for two days, Su Nuannuan sensed that Zhou Menglu was beaming with joy, and she was dressed even more exquisitely, even wearing lace gloves.

They don't seem to live in the same era as us.

Su Nuannuan looked speechlessly at Zhou Menglu, who showed no restraint.

During this time, she also tried to persuade Zhou Menglu to be more low-key and give up those Western-style dresses, suggesting she try wearing domestic clothes instead. However, Zhou Menglu disagreed!
Although she doesn't like foreign culture, their clothes are still very attractive to her.

She wasn't interested in any of the domestic clothes Su Nuannuan recommended. In the end, Su Nuannuan was helpless; she simply couldn't persuade her.

However, judging from Zhou Menglu's appearance, there must be some good news at home.

"Why are you so happy to be going home?"

Su Nuannuan asked.

When someone struck up a conversation with her, Zhou Menglu's desire to share immediately surfaced.

Sun Xiuhua, who was following behind her, was helping her pack her things, while Zhou Menglu pulled Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu aside to talk about her family.

Su Nuannuan glanced at Sun Xiuhua, who was silently busy beside her, then looked at the oblivious Zhou Menglu, and rubbed her temples. Finally, she spoke.

"Xiuhua, stop busy, sit down and rest for a while."

Only after Su Nuannuan reminded her did Zhou Menglu remember Sun Xiuhua.

"Xiuhua, come here quickly, and bring me the oranges and bananas I brought."

Upon hearing Zhou Menglu's words, Sun Xiuhua put down the box she was holding and took out a bag from another box, which was filled with bananas and oranges.

Having spent so much time with Zhou Menglu, Su Nuannuan and Hong Xiu knew she wasn't lacking in food. In fact, she'd get angry if you didn't eat her food. However, neither of them took advantage of her; they each took an orange and ate it slowly.

Seeing that the two of them had eaten what she had brought, Zhou Menglu immediately beamed and began to share the good news from her family.

"My mom is pregnant. I'm going to have a little brother or sister soon."

Su Nuannuan listened attentively, breaking open the orange in her hand and casually giving half of it to Sun Xiuhua across from her.

Sun Xiuhua, who had been looking down, suddenly saw half an orange in front of her. She quickly looked up at Su Nuannuan across from her and took the orange from her.

Neither Zhou Menglu nor Hong Xiu noticed this scene.

Zhou Menglu continued to share her joy.

“That’s great. My parents always said they weren’t comfortable leaving the family factory to me. Now that we have younger siblings, there will be someone to manage our factory in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan joked.

"If your parents have a second child, will you still be able to inherit your family's factory?"

After hearing this, Zhou Menglu showed no nervousness and instead waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't worry. My dad said that if my mom has a little sister, he will divide the factory in two, one for me and one for my sister. If it's a little brother, the factory will be mine, and my brother will work for me."

Su Nuannuan's lips twitched. No wonder Zhou Menglu had such a personality. It seemed the adults in her family spoiled her. She had originally thought that Zhou Menglu's family would favor sons over daughters, but there wasn't a trace of that in her family. On the contrary, they would hand over the family business to their daughter, while their son received nothing.

The Zhou family did not discriminate against sons, but rather against sons.

However, although the Zhou family is an unusual family, it is a very happy one for their daughter.
