That's why Xu Huimin bears both the heavy responsibilities of a father and a mother, and her educational methods reflect both traits.

So when Su Ming heard Xu Huimin praise him so openly, he immediately knew that his current achievements truly made this old mother feel relieved and proud.

Thinking of this, Su Ming's face showed a gentle smile, and he walked into the house.

Although Su Ming's house isn't big, it has three floors, though the decor has somewhat aged and worn out.

Lin Yanan and Shen Mengxue were in Su Ming's bedroom, without showing any disdain in their eyes.

They were smiling as they looked at Su Ming, then turned their gaze to an album on the wall.

The album was filled with photos of Su Ming as a child, including ones of him in split-crotch pants, with a runny nose.

"Mom, why did you put my childhood photos out again?"

Su Ming watched the two women glance at the photos, and then looked at him with slightly mischievous and amused smiles.

His face turned red immediately, and he spoke up.

"Doesn't it look festive? Don't think my son now is quite lean, but he was a chubby little boy when he was young!"

At this moment, Xu Huimin, who heard the voices, walked to the room's doorway and said to the two women with a smile.

"Auntie, you're right, Su Ming was indeed way cuter when he was little with that chubby charm, so festive!"

"Exactly! Why does it seem like he's not as cute now that he's grown up, and sometimes even a bit naughty?"

Shen Mengxue added immediately after Lin Yanan finished speaking.

Hearing this, Su Ming helplessly shrugged and walked outside.

Because he noticed the landlady was looking at him with slightly resentful eyes.

Su Ming suddenly felt as if pierced by a sword, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He knew bringing the landlady over without disclosing their relationship wasn't fair to her.

But now was not the right time.

After all, the landlady herself didn't want to hurt Lin Yanan.

Su Ming suddenly felt it was better to keep the relationship unspoken for now.

After lunch, Xu Huimin suddenly called Su Ming to the room and then spoke:

"Son, I prepared a ten thousand yuan red envelope for each of them, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ming felt a warm wave in his heart for having such an understanding and considerate mother.

Originally, she just needed to give Lin Yanan a red envelope.

But she realized if she did that, the landlady might feel a bit unnecessary and awkward.

Although the landlady wasn't Su Ming's girlfriend, she had cared for him a lot.

Moreover, Xu Huimin heard from Su Ming's phone call that he was bringing home two daughters-in-law.

And with her sharp intuition, she noticed in the landlady's eyes when looking at Su Ming.

No matter how much she hid it, a faint admiration showed.

It wasn't the look between ordinary colleagues or friends; there was definitely something unspeakable between her and Su Ming.

Xu Huimin thought even without considering these, simply as a thank-you to Shen Mengxue for her care for Su Ming.

Giving her a ten thousand yuan red envelope was also worth it.

Su Ming suddenly spoke:

"Mom, I came back this time to get the household registration book, and I plan to register the marriage directly with Yanan."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huimin paused, then a strong joy appeared on her face.

Her expression became more and more excited, with a hint of mist in her eyes.

She had been delighted seeing Su Ming bring back such a beautiful girlfriend.

Although it was unlikely they would marry in the future, it was enough to make her happy for a while.

But she hadn't expected Su Ming to bring her back directly for marriage this time.

Xu Huimin thought Lin Yanan had the looks and the figure.

And her outfit and subtle noble temperament.

Couldn't possibly come from an ordinary background.

She had just learned that Lin Yanan owned a beauty business in Longcheng bringing in tens of millions annual profit.

She felt right away that Su Ming, regardless, was marrying into a higher social status.

Such a perfect girl was about to become her daughter-in-law.

How could she not be excited and happy?

"Good boy, are you serious? Then we must take this seriously; tonight, let's call your aunt and grandpa over, and we'll all have a good family meal together."

Xu Huimin looked at Su Ming with incredible joy and relief.

Her gaze seemed to say, "Well done! Bringing back such a pretty wife and handling things smoothly."

After speaking, she went off to make calls, ready to prepare all the good food and drinks.

At that moment, Xu Huimin suddenly remembered something and hastily spoke:

"Son! How about we go to the county today, they are almost your wife now, we should prepare some gold jewelry for her."

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

After all, before marriage, the groom needs to gift the bride the three golds, a custom passed down by ancestors.

Then Xu Huimin walked into the bedroom, intending to take out the family's passbook.

The passbook still had more than two hundred thousand, the family's last savings.

But thinking of Su Ming about to marry, it's time the passbook could be put to use.

Xu Huimin then entered Su Ming's room and said to Lin Yanan with a smile:

"Child, here is a red envelope I prepared for you, don't mind the amount, just a little token from me as your future mother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanan knew Su Ming had already told Xu Huimin about their wedding plans.

Her pretty face showed a gentle smile, accepting the red envelope gracefully, and replied with a smile:

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Lin Yanan knew this was the etiquette for a girl's first visit before marriage.

Even if she didn't need the money, she had to accept it politely.

After all, the ancestral etiquettes and rules shouldn't be forgotten.

Even though Lin Yanan grew up in the city, she knew some rural etiquettes.

Su Ming smiled at the moment and said: "Yanan, you should change how you address her now!"

Hearing this, a blush appeared on Lin Yanan's delicate, fair face.

Then she smiled at Xu Huimin and said, "Mom!"

"Hey! Good girl!" Xu Huimin clasped Lin Yanan's hand warmly, grinning widely.

Shen Mengxue, standing at the door, watched this scene, her pretty face full of a smile.

She was sincerely happy for her best friend finding happiness.

Yet at this moment, she turned around, a fleeting loneliness in her eyes, with an indescribable pang of envy and longing in her heart.
