A woman in her 70s marries a rough-looking man; her plump wife is too delicate and alluring.

Lu Xiao accompanied Lu Xingguo to the door and said to him, "Brother, go and approve the slips. I'm going to talk to my sister-in-law for a while."

Lu Xingguo nodded, and after he walked away, Lu Xiao went into the store.

Lu Xiao smiled sweetly at Sheng Yuze, "Brother Ze, look, I haven't eaten yet, can you go buy me something to eat?"

Sheng Yuze didn't answer her, but instead looked down and asked He Zhaoyang, "Are you hungry?"

He Zhaoyang hadn't eaten breakfast, and hearing Lu Xiao say that made her a little hungry. She nodded and said, "Go ahead, and buy some food for Miss Lu too. After all, Young Master Lu bought us so much fabric."

Sheng Yuze smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be right back."

After Sheng Yuze left, Lu Xiao naturally sat down on the stool, and He Zhaoyang, who was also tired of standing, sat down next to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao admired the pearl bracelet in his hand and said casually, "Sister-in-law, you really have some skills."

He Zhaoyang laughed: "I don't understand what you're talking about, Miss Lu."

"Stop pretending." Lu Xiao looked up from the bracelet and stared at He Zhaoyang. "As expected, country girls are cunning. You managed to seduce my brother into spending so much money on you on our first meeting."

He Zhaoyang remained innocent and said, "Really, Miss Lu, it was Young Master Lu who bought the fabric for me voluntarily. If Miss Lu doesn't like it, I'll have Young Master Lu return it."

Lu Xiao chuckled lightly, "500 yuan? Our Lu family doesn't even consider that a thing. Besides, you can use the fabric to make clothes for Brother Ze. I don't mean anything by it, I just look down on you."

"You don't know about the Sheng family, do you? Sheng Yuze's father is a legion commander, his mother is the director of the Women's Federation, and his brother is a researcher. If he hadn't made a mistake and been sent to the countryside, would you have been chosen?"

He Zhaoyang blinked after hearing this, not understanding. Was it that amazing? She was just a rabbit. Even if she became a spirit, she would just live her own life. She had no idea how amazing it was.

"So, Miss Lu, you mean you're more suitable than me to be the Sheng family's daughter-in-law?"

Lu Xiao proudly said, "Of course, my dad is the Party Secretary of the prefecture, my mom is a Russian translator, and my brother and I are returned overseas students."

We are a perfect match in terms of status, education, and financial resources.

"Wow!" He Zhaoyang exclaimed, "Miss Lu's family is amazing!"

"That's right." Lu Xiao said smugly, like a proud little cat.

He Zhaoyang: "So, Miss Lu wants me to divorce Sheng Yuze?"

After saying that, her little face scrunched up, "If I divorce Sheng Yuze, can I be with Young Master Lu? Young Master Lu is so handsome!"

He Zhaoyang pretended to be infatuated.

not good.

Lu Xiao thought to herself, if they divorced now, given her brother's character, he would definitely pursue He Zhaoyang.

She shuddered at the thought; wouldn't that make her her sister-in-law?

She immediately pictured it in her mind.

He Zhaoyang eats and drinks tea with her parents and brother every day, and she has to call them sister-in-law every day. The whole family dotes on He Zhaoyang.

Lu Xiao's expression changed.

"You!" She opened her mouth, her voice suddenly becoming shrill, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

He Zhaoyang still looked innocent, looking up at her, "Did I say something wrong? Isn't Young Master Lu great? He's rich and generous."

"My brother—" Lu Xiao choked for a moment, "How could he marry you!"

"Why not?" He Zhaoyang tilted his head. "Didn't Miss Lu say that your Lu family is very powerful? If I marry into the Lu family, won't I become powerful too? Wow, I can become very powerful!"

Lu Xiao started to panic, like a cat with its fur standing on end, "You can't get a divorce!"

He Zhaoyang: "But Miss Lu said I'm not good enough for Sheng Yuze."

Lu Xiao: "I was just saying that casually."

Seeing Lu Xiao's anxious and almost jumping up and down, He Zhaoyang patted her head and said in a tone like he was coaxing a child, "Alright, alright, I won't get a divorce. Don't worry, Miss Lu."

"You!" Lu Xiao was stunned. "How could you touch my head!"

He Zhaoyang suddenly moved closer. "Sorry, it's just a habit."

She used to pet that frizzy fox like that often, and she subconsciously touched Lu Xiao instead.

Lu Xiao saw a beautiful face suddenly zoomed in, her breath caught in her throat for a moment, and her face flushed red.

"snort!"

Lu Xiao turned her head away and refused to look at her.

In fact, Lu Xiao is also a sucker for good looks; she can't resist walking past attractive people, which is probably a family trait.

That's how her parents met and fell in love, which is why they got married.

As for family background, status, and education, those were things her grandmother taught her to say when going on blind dates. Her grandmother said that when our little girl gets married, she should marry someone with a good family background, status, and education, so that she won't be bullied.

"Miss Lu," He Zhaoyang said, "so why do you like Sheng Yuze?"

Lu Xiao looked at her and said, "Because he's good-looking."

Lu Xiao was afraid that He Zhaoyang would become her sister-in-law, so she didn't care about Sheng Yuze anymore and naturally gave He Zhaoyang a good look.

He Zhaoyang: "Is it that simple?"

"Yes." Lu Xiao nodded. "Don't you like good-looking people? I also like the eldest brother of the Chen family and the younger brother of the Wang family who studied abroad with me."

Just then, Sheng Yuze returned with steamed buns. "Here, you can eat them."

Lu Xiao now faces Sheng Yuze without batting an eye, as if she's afraid He Zhaoyang will become her sister-in-law.

She took a steamed bun and said "thank you".

She took a bite, chewed it a couple of times, and turned to He Zhaoyang, saying, "Sister-in-law, this bun is really delicious."

Sheng Yuze was taken aback, feeling that their relationship had become much more harmonious.

After a long while, Lu Xingguo finally returned.

He returned with the permit, paid for the remaining cloth coupons, and the cloth was rolled into several large bundles and placed next to the counter.

Lu Xingguo put the money away and glanced at He Zhaoyang again.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't have enough fabric to make clothes, come and ask me again."

He Zhaoyang casually hummed in agreement.

Lu Xingguo suddenly leaned closer and lowered his voice, "Sister-in-law, a beauty like you shouldn't be wearing such cheap fabric."

As he spoke, he took a slip of paper out of his pocket and stuffed it into He Zhaoyang's handkerchief. "This is my phone number. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Sheng Yuze: "Lu Xingguo".

Lu Xingguo straightened up, smiled, and said, "What's wrong, Yuze? I'm helping my sister-in-law out, and you're not happy about it?"

Lu Xiao quickly grabbed Lu Xingguo, "Brother, don't say anything, let's go home quickly, Mom and Dad will be calling us soon!"

After saying that, he pushed Lu Xingguo out.

"Miss Lu!" He Zhaoyang called out to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao turned her head. "What's wrong?"

He Zhaoyang smiled and said, "I'll make you a set of clothes in a few days."

"I don't want to," Lu Xiao said arrogantly.

After saying that, she pushed Lu Xingguo away.

All that remained was Lu Xingguo's words, "I want one too."
