âAt homeâ¦â Gu Li replied as she sized up the thing in Song Xiaoâs hand. â Why did you buy turtles? â
She realized that ever since Xiao started doing business with Song Yao, he could save a few thousand yuan a year. He was also spending more and more lavishly.
Not only did he buy branded clothes and shoes, but he also bought snacks non-stop.
Gu Li always asked Song Xiao to save some money for his future wife, but every time she didnât finish speaking, she would be interrupted by Song Yao.
Song Yao said that Xiao was still young and could wait for a while before getting married. However, Gu Li felt that her Xiao was already 18 years old. If he was in the Song Manor, he should have gotten a wife!
However, it was unknown who her son took after. Not only was he not interested in marriage, but he even felt that marriage was a very troublesome thing.
Marriage was the happiest thing in the world. How could it be troublesome? Gu Li felt that Song Xiao was unreliable from the bottom of her heart!
At this moment, Gu Li was even more unhappy to see her son return with two turtles!
However, Song Xiao parked the car in the courtyard and explained, âThese are softshell turtles. If we brew these, the soup will be very fragrant. We have guests at home, so we can eat this!â
After he finished speaking, he stuffed the bags of two turtles into Gu Liâs hands as if he was presenting a treasure.
However, Gu Li was naturally afraid of such living creatures. She pushed the food to Song Xiao with a trembling hand. âEat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat!â
After Gu Li finished speaking, she glared at Song Xiao. âLet me ask you! How old are you this year?
Youâre 18, right?â
Song Xiao nodded.
Gu Li coughed twice and said, âYouâre not young anymore. When are you going to get a wife?â âMom! Iâm still young!â At the mention of getting a wife, Song Xiaoâs face turned red.
Gu Li placed her hands on her hips and said, âYouâre already 18 years old and youâre still young? Your father and I were already married when we were your age! But you didnât even bring a partner over!â
Unable to stand Gu Liâs nagging, Song Xiao looked helpless. âMom! Why are you in such a hurry? If I meet a suitable person, Iâll naturally talk to her. You being anxious canât solve any problem. Forget it, I wonât talk to you anymore. Iâll go back and deal with the turtles first. Iâll get my sister to make soup for you later!â
After Song Xiao finished speaking, he carried the turtles into the house, afraid that he would say another word to Gu Li.
Gu Li chased after her with a spatula. âYou child! Iâm doing this for your own good, right?â
She sighed angrily and saw Song Yao walk out. âMom, why are you chasing Xiao?â
Gu Li was so angry that she put down the spatula. âIsnât it all because your younger brother is too outrageous? Tell me, how old is he? Why isnât he married yet? I was already married to your father when I was his age!â
Song Yao was caught between laughter and tears. âMom, early marriage isnât popular these days. Besides, early marriage might not be suitable for Xiao. Have you forgotten about me and Cousin? We got married early, so what? Arenât we still divorced?â
After hearing Song Yaoâs words, Gu Li took off her apron. âThatâs true, but itâs not a good idea for your brother to be alone, right?â
She leaned close to Song Yaoâs ear and said, âDonât tell me your brother doesnât like women?â
Song Yao: âHow is this possible!â
âWhy not?â Gu Li was a little worried. She leaned close to Song Yaoâs ear and whispered, âCould it be that heâs like your Zuo Huo and has always had a girl in his heart and doesnât want others to know?â Song Yaoâs face turned red. Why was Zuo Huo involved?
She touched her burning face and said to Gu Li, âThis situation is different! Donât ask! I donât think
Xiao is the kind of person who can hide things!â
Gu Li refused to give up. âWhy is the situation different?â
She sized up Song Yaoâs red face and couldnât help but tease, âWhy are you blushing?â
She glanced at Hu Lin, who was still sitting in the living room. âIâm warning you! Itâs fine if you talk to him about business, but donât get into relationships. Youâre different from before! Youâre already married! You canât let Zuo Huo down! You canât let her know about this!â
Song Yao was a little helpless about this. Before she could think of anything to say, she heard a low male voice behind her. âWhat do you not want me to know?â
Song Yao turned around and saw Zuo Huo standing behind her.
Perhaps it was because he went to the county to do something during the day, Zuo Huo was dressed especially formally today.
The well-tailored Chinese tunic suit matched with a pair of imported leather shoes made him look very heroic.
When Gu Li saw Zuo Huo enter the house, she quickly smiled and said, âItâs nothing serious! Iâll get Yao to tell you..â
