226: Chapter 225: (1 more) 226: Chapter 225: (1 more) Jingdu Mansion, the Jin family.
This was the first ti that the Jin family had gathered together under one roof.
Of course, this didn’t include Jin Yu’s family, who had already moved to the south.
Elder Master Jin led a group of children and grandchildren back from their morning exercise, with Xu Qiang being the first to collapse onto the couch.
“Oh my God, I’m dead tired, I can’t do this anymore, Grandpa, I’m never running again.”
Xu Qiang had been exercising since he was young and had a good physique, but training with the old man was sheer torture.
Seeing Xu Qiang looking so wretched, Elder Master Jin beca furious: “You useless thing, a man should never admit defeat so easily.
You’re disgracing the Jin family.
What will people say when they hear about this?”
Used to the old man’s lectures, Xu Qiang waved it off, indifferent as a pig being scalded with hot water: “Grandpa, I’m not a man, and I’m only shaming the Xu family.
Don’t worry, it’s okay for our family’s face to be thrown away.”
On the other side, Father Xu chuckled in agreent: “That’s right, throw it away.
We’ve gotten used to it anyway.
Our Qiangzi has never had any ambition.”
Jin Nanxi kicked her own husband with no good feelings: “Dad, don’t listen to their nonsense.
I’m not used to it yet.”
Elder Master Jin was almost angered to death and at the sa ti, rendered speechless by his daughter’s words.
If you can’t follow along with a conversation properly, don’t try to.
Aside from Xu Qiang, everyone else was also dog-tired, including Jin Xiaoni, Jin Ruibing, and Xu Xiaoxia, who all collapsed directly onto the sofa as well.
Only Jin Ruiyang remained spirited and relaxed.
Far from sitting down, he stood there leisurely stretching his limbs.
Seeing his second grandson like this, Elder Master Jin’s face bead with pride: “You all should learn from your second brother.”
Jin Ruiyang chuckled softly upon hearing this, his voice warm and clear: “Grandpa, they’re doing quite well already.
Please spare them so criticism.”
Hearing this, Xu Qiang made a bow from his lying position: “Thanks, cousin.”
Jin Ruiyang’s lips curled into a restrained smile, elegant and refined.
At this mont, the butler beside Elder Master Jin brought over a large parcel delivered by the postal service.
“Young Master Xiao Qiang, your package.” The butler placed the parcel on the coffee table.
A package?
Xu Qiang, sprawled on the sofa, was stunned.
Who would send him a package?
“Could it be from so young girl who has a secret crush on ?”
Xu Qiang sat up with a kip-up, solemnly straightening his collar, only to realize that he was wearing a vest with no collar.
In that awkward mont, he sneakily reached out to grab the package.
His fingers hadn’t even touched the parcel when Jin Ruibing snatched it away.
“Let’s see who sent it to you.” Jin Ruibing grabbed the package and burst into laughter: “Which girl would be blind enough to fancy you?”
“Jin Ruibing you absolute bastard, give that back!” Xu Qiang blurted out in a fit of rage, not having received his package, but he didn’t chase after him.
After all, with the old man at ho, daring to create chaos in the house ant being sure to be taken outside one by one for more training.
Father Xu was also very curious and exclaid: “So there’s a girl who likes our Qiangzi.
Ruibing, hurry up and tell us the sender’s na!”
Jin Ruibing ran aside with the package, entertained by the unfolding drama, and checked for the sender’s information.
“Xu Niannian…
address Nancheng County…”
As Jin Ruibing rattled off the information, everyone hadn’t yet realized who Xu Niannian was when they heard Xu Qiang exclaim, “Damn it!” and lunge for the package.
“Give it back, Jin Ruibing!” Xu Qiang’s eyes sparkled as he snatched the package back, his face turning red.
His expression looked like a starving dog spotting fresh dung, saliva almost dripping out.
The family watched with utter disdain.
Father Xu, thinking it really was sothing sent by a girl smitten with his son, inquired gossipingly, “Son, it seems you really like this girl, don’t you?”
Jin Ruibing and other siblings who loved stirring the pot crowded around: “Damn, Qiangzi, so girl actually fancies you?”
“Get lost.” Xu Qiang, snapping out of his overjoyed state, pushed away Jin Ruibing, who was the closest to him, with disdain.
“This was sent by my elder cousin-in-law.
It must be sothing delicious.”
“Elder cousin-in-law?” everyone said in unison.
Jin Xiaoni, curious, leaned in closer: “Which elder cousin-in-law are you talking about?”
By the ti Jin Xiaoni asked the question, the family had already realized that the package was sent by Jin Yu’s fiancée.
Father Xu’s previously lighthearted and jocular deanor turned very serious: “Son, you’d better not ss around.
If your elder cousin beats you to death, I can’t save you.”
Xu Qiang replied in annoyance, “What are you talking about, Dad?
Didn’t I help my cousin deliver sothing so ti ago?
I just happened to have tried the Liuyue Su made by my elder cousin-in-law.
Let tell you, her cooking is truly remarkable.
Everything she makes is delicious.
I’ve been thinking about it ever since, so I wrote her a letter and asked her to send so over.”
It had been so long since he had sent the letter, he thought his plea for food had been rejected.
Receiving the package now felt like a pie falling from the sky—simply wonderful.
Xu Qiang wasn’t praising Jin Yu’s wife’s cooking for the first ti at ho, and the family was quite curious.
After all, Xu Qiang was famous for being picky, and sothing he had been hankering for so long had to be extraordinary.
However, he sotis exaggerated, so while the others were curious, they weren’t drooling over it just yet.
Having boasted for a month, Jin Ruibing and the others always accused him of making a big deal out of nothing.
Finally having a chance to prove himself, Xu Qiang sharpened his knives eagerly, barely able to contain himself.
