Chapter 8

Xiao Long hung up his cell phone, then he quickly stood up to go to his Mother-in-law, Xiao Long could see that all the dishes were almost ready, and it wouldn't be good to make Mother-in-law sad because Xiao Long didn't have dinner here. Xiao Long smiled faintly again, then he looked at all the simple menus that were there. All the simple menus are Xiao Long's favorites, even according to Xiao Long it tastes much more delicious than the food menus in star restaurants. In this dish there is a lot of love and warmth that cannot be replaced by others even until then.

"Mother, you know, your cooking is always special. Even just smelling it makes me very hungry," Xiao Long said sincerely.

An Xin who heard that immediately snorted, then she grabbed Xiao Long's arm in a spoiled manner.

"Brother Xiao Long, you are not praising me? Why are you only praising Mom? I also helped Mother cook,"

"Oh yeah? Surely all you're doing is bothering Mother,"

"That's good! Of course not, I helped Mother wash the vegetables,"

"And I believe that the vegetables you wash are really really dirty and not clean at all," Xiao Long snorted. An Xin looked sneered, making her mother immediately pinch her youngest daughter's waist.

"An Xin, stop whining in front of your brother-in-law like a baby. You're a big girl, why aren't you ashamed of it?" reprimanded her mother, An Xin was still reluctant to let go of her spoiled sway in Xiao Long's arms, but her lips were still pouting too. Xiao Long immediately pinched An Xin's sharp nose and put his arm around his sister-in-law's shoulder.

"Come on, Mother. She seems to miss me," Xiao Long said, then he glanced at An Xin perfectly. "Now tell me, what do you want? Seeing your acting sweet and spoiled like this, I'm sure there's something you want, right?"

"National exam grid book package! My friends have already got it, even some companion books to pass the selection at a prestigious university in this city, and I haven't got it yet. I asked Mom to take some of the ones in my savings but Mom didn't want to at all, she said it's not our money, it's yours, so I don't have my own yet," protested An Xin.

Hearing this, her mother immediately hit An Xin on the shoulder perfectly, she looked at Xiao Long with a look of great disdain, while Xiao Long heard that his heart was really touched, he didn't expect that his mother-in-law didn't even dare touch the money he gave her at all. Moreover, young women like An Xin fell behind when it came to buying books and An Xin was only able to protest after she was here. And if Xiao Long didn't come, what would happen to An Xin? What about her dream to become the best graduate in her high school, and be accepted at a university with a scholarship like her dream? Xiao Long's jaw hardened, he didn't expect something like this to happen. an incident that was enough to make his heart ache, which is not even at all imagined how all of this could happen.

"Xiao Long, I'm sorry An Xin, she really likes to talk like that, you don't have to—"

"Mom, I'm actually disappointed in you right now. An Xin has a very big dream, Mother. He wants to be the best graduate and get accepted in a top University. However, just because Mother was reluctant with the money I even gave to Mother, Mother didn't care about An Xin's problems. Trust me, I've told you how much the money is for you. If you don't want to, I can open An Xin's savings account so I can send it to her every month too for her school fees. So that when he needed some important stuff like this, she wouldn't have to whine anymore but in the end he got nothing."

"Brother Xiao Long, I'm sorry. But you don't have to be so mean to Mother. You know your face really looks like a monster that wants to pounce on humans. That handsome face of yours is really scary when he's angry."

Xiao Long seemed to have realized that he had gone too far now, it seemed that what he said was really really mean, and losing Qiao Xin had really made him lose his identity and self-control. properly and correctly.

"Oh my God, do I look fierce?" Xiao Long said, trying to joke. "It seems that my handsome face is suitable for being a bad human." Xiao Long now looked at his mother-in-law, then he hugged his mother-in-law perfectly. "Mother, forgive me. I didn't mean to be mad at you at all. It's just that the account feels exasperated, if you ignore my good intentions like that, you know my heart will be very sad when you do that, and I hope that you won't do that again. Can you promise me?"

His mother-in-law smiled, then she stroked Xiao Long's big back perfectly. His mother-in-law sighed again, it was only natural for Xiao Long to be angry, because her shy attitude could be misinterpreted by Xiao Long as a sense of arrogance that does not want to accept the good intentions of her own son-in-law.

"It's okay, Xiao Long. Mother is wrong in this, I am too mean to you, as if I do not want to accept your gift at all. After this I promise, I will use the money you gave me for household needs,"

Xiao Long raised his thumbs up perfectly, then he took all the finished dishes to be transferred to the dining table, then he looked at Qiao Xin's uncle who had just entered the house.

"Now that everything is fine, let's eat. After this I will take you for a walk before I go home. How?"

"Is that true? Buy a book?" An Xin asked excitedly, Xiao Long smiled when he heard that.

"Buy whatever you want, clothes, bags, shoes and everything as long as you like it, and you need it,"

"Is that true?" An Xin shouted, she immediately ran over and hugged Xiao Long tightly. Yes, An Xin was like finding a brother, she could spoil Xiao Long and ask for whatever she needed. Xiao Long is different from Qiao Xin who every time An Xin asks will always say if An Xin has to save money because household needs are really urgent and frugality is the only way to be able to eat and it makes An Xin have to be forced to copy books which she wanted to buy from borrowing her friend, and now that An Xin didn't have to do that, she already had Xiao Long as her doraemon pouch, who always gave An Xin anything she needed, and An Xin was very grateful to have a brother-in-law as good as Xiao Long, who not only cherished and loved Qiao Xin, but also pampered her and her family immensely.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xin's Mother and Uncle could only shake their heads. how not, seeing An Xin's spoiled behavior made the two of them unable to do anything else.

"Never mind, don't pamper that naughty child too much, the more you pamper him, the more he will stick to you like a skin fungus that will be difficult to let go of for even a second," said Qiao Xin's uncle. An Xin just pursed her lips, then she led Xiao Long to sit down on the dining chair and started serving her kind sister-in-law.
