70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 280: Cousin Is Getting Married

After Professor Song assigned the experiment task, Xu Mumu ran to the lab whenever she had free time, and Yin Yang often came to accompany her.

The matter of her relationship with Professor Song also spread quickly in the class.

"Xu Mumu, what’s your relationship with Professor Song?" Su Yue’e curiously asked, sitting right next to Xu Mumu today.

"Why are you asking this?" Xu Mumu looked up at Su Yue’e, a bit puzzled.

"Just curious, tell me about it," Su Yue’e asked with a smile, her eyes filled with gossip.

"Professor Song is my partner’s grandfather." Xu Mumu said lightly, noticing the curious gazes around her and decided to satisfy their curiosity.

"Really?" Su Yue’e was surprised, and the others were quite taken aback as well.

"Yeah," Xu Mumu nodded. She had heard the rumors and thought it better to explain everything clearly sooner rather than later.

"What have you been doing with Professor Song these days? Did he give you special lessons?" Su Yue’e asked somewhat enviously.

"Isn’t that quite normal?" Shen Ya said calmly, not expecting Xu Mumu to have such a relationship with a school professor, adding another reason to envy her.

"Just conducting small experiments," Xu Mumu glanced, her eyes sweeping past Shen Ya, who couldn’t even hide her jealousy.

There were only eight girls in the class, and four of them were married. Among the unmarried ones, only Shen Ya, Su Yue’e, and the one who previously envied Xu Mumu, Fang Jingjing, were left.

Although Xu Mumu usually didn’t pay attention to them, she could clearly sense the hostility from Shen Ya and Fang Jingjing.

"Having connections makes a difference; you can follow the professor for experiments," Shen Ya remarked acidly.

"It certainly makes a difference," Xu Mumu replied lightly, letting them be envious, knowing it wouldn’t hurt her.

Xu Mumu didn’t bother paying attention to these people. The coursework assigned by several professors was heavy, and she didn’t have much time to chat leisurely with them.

School life was dull and uninteresting for Xu Mumu, but for the Old Xu Family, it was very lively.

Currently, many places in the provincial city have set up racks, and some short-cycle vegetables like napa cabbage have grown quite a bit, causing the price of napa cabbage in the city to drop.

Every time Li Caixia went out, she was very well-regarded, and many people would ask her for advice on how to better grow these vegetables. Many living in the city had no idea how to go about it.

Vegetable growing on racks had completely caught on in the provincial city, and Li Caixia, with her strong diplomatic skills, had made her way into the women’s gossip circle. She knew very well what was happening in the nearby houses.

"Minglei, Minglei, quickly write a letter to your sister, your mother has found a job now." Li Caixia walked in proudly from outside, holding her little one in her arms, who now loved being taken out to play with her every day.

"What job did you find?" Madam Chen was taken aback, taking the little one from Li Caixia’s arms. Old Xu now went out every day to brag and chat with the old folks in the community, fully adapting to city life.

"Hmph, Director Wu of the neighborhood office asked me to work with her. My hard work during this time has finally been recognized by Director Wu," Li Caixia said excitedly, even though Director Wu hadn’t promised her a job position or mentioned anything about money. Now, Li Caixia just wanted to seize this opportunity, even if Director Wu didn’t offer anything.

"All right, just make sure to work well with Director Wu." Madam Chen thought for a moment and remembered who Director Wu was, the person helping mediate family disputes in the neighborhood, not really considered an official.

But working with Director Wu was better than staying idle at home, right?

Once Li Caixia went to work, she would help take care of her grandson.

"Mom, don’t worry, I’ve found out that in two years, she’ll be retiring." Li Caixia was simply ambitious.

Madam Chen bit her tongue and said nothing, deciding not to dampen Li Caixia’s confidence and let her face some challenges on her own. Even if Director Wu was just a mediator in the neighborhood, it wasn’t something Li Caixia should be thinking about without assessing her capabilities.

"I’ll write to my sister right away," Xu Minglei said with a smile, thinking that it was a good thing for his mother to have something to do, rather than being as idle as she was now.

The news from her side didn’t take long to reach her maiden family. Li Caixia received word that her elder sister’s family was going to have a wedding: Su Xiu and Meng Shaohua were finally getting married, with all the dowry and bridal gifts finally agreed upon.

The wedding was set for the tenth of next month, and they hoped Li Caixia could attend, with Xu Minghui and his family also invited.

Seeing such a good opportunity to show off, Li Caixia immediately decided to go back and bring her two sons with her. Her daughter lived too far away, so she would have to miss it.

Xu Minghui had no objections to going back for the cousin’s wedding and also thought it would be nice to visit Grandpa and the others.

Xu Mumu received their letter about ten days later.

Xu Mumu stroked her chin, thinking that since her cousin was getting married, she should send something as a wedding gift.

Although she didn’t particularly like Su Xiu, they were at the very least related, though distantly.

With that thought, Xu Mumu informed Professor Song and went to the department store with Yin Yang over the weekend.

"Yin Yang, my cousin is getting married, what do you think I should send her?" Xu Mumu asked, looking for some suggestions from Yin Yang.

"Send something girls would like or something practical, especially since you mentioned her husband’s family isn’t well-off," Yin Yang suggested with a smile, with a tinge of envy, wishing he could get married too, but Xu Mumu had told him to wait until after they graduated.

"My cousin really likes pretty clothes, so let’s buy a few outfits for her and send some health supplements to Grandma, Grandpa, and others." Xu Mumu nodded, finding Yin Yang’s suggestion quite reliable.

The two entered the department store, which was exceptionally crowded since it was the weekend.

"It’s so lively here," Xu Mumu remarked.

"It sure is lively. Let’s go this way," Yin Yang led Xu Mumu toward a less crowded area. As they walked, they looked for the things they needed. Xu Mumu bought a variety of supplements before they headed to the clothing section, where the styles available were quite nice, better than those in the county or provincial city, showcasing the top offerings of the Imperial City’s department store.

"Mumu, do you think this skirt looks good? Do you like it?" Yin Yang picked up a light blue skirt, which was quite pretty, showing that he had good taste.

"I have plenty of skirts already," Xu Mumu said helplessly, realizing this guy seemed to have misunderstood and thought she liked skirts a lot.
