Mrs. Li had long wanted to properly thank Hua Jin, but she never had the opportunity.
Seeing Hua Jin agree to dine together, she was so pleased that she couldn't contain her smile. She immediately took Hua Jin into the main room, where the table was already laid with food for the meal.
"Wow..." Qin Ming, usually composed, instantly lost his demeanor upon seeing so much delicious food. He exclaimed in surprise, "Mother, are we not living anymore?" As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva, unable to take his eyes off the table.
This expression was almost identical to Xiaosi's, making Hua Jin amused. The meal really was quite sumptuous, which was extremely rare during these times.
Mrs. Li might have cooked all of her household's best ingredients at once.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Li smacked her noisy youngest son aside and looked embarrassedly at Hua Jin. "Please excuse him."
Her words completely treated Hua Jin like an adult.
