Li Chenmo nodded at his wife and admitted, "Your cousin and his family are indeed worthy to be friends. No wonder Ah Li and Xiao Huang like their cousins from your maternal family."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that they treat me very well? Although my mother's family is poor and illiterate, they are not bad at heart. It's just that some of them married the wrong person, which caused the family to break apart."
Reaching out, Li Chenmo patted his wife's head gently and said, "Alright, let's go meet them. It's not good to let the guests wait too long."
Before they left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu took out a basket of steamed buns and a jar of warm soy milk from her space. She had heard about her cousins' situation from her mother and guessed that they came because of that.
When Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo entered the living room, they saw Song Li and his family sipping the honey water slowly. Seeing how careful they were when tasting the water, Lu Jueyu felt a pang of sadness for them.
Even though she hadn't personally experienced her maternal uncles and their families' care, those memories were still etched in her soul and had already become a part of her.
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, she smiled and said, "Cousin, Sister-in-law, it's rare for you to visit me. I thought you had long forgotten your sister."
Hearing the familiar voice, Song Li placed the bamboo cup down and turned his head. Seeing his cousin looking plumper than before, he was relieved.
Standing up, he said, "Yuyu, it's been a long time since we met. How are you?"
Lu Jueyu stood in front of her cousin, turned a few times, then said, "Cousin, I'm good and happy. Look at how well-fed I am now."
Song Li was 26 years older than his cousin. When she was born, the entire family was overjoyed.
If not for the limitations between men and women, he would have liked to check her from head to toe. To him, his little cousin was like his own daughter.
Now, seeing that she was happier and healthier than before, he was pleased and said, "Good, good, good!"
Li Chenmo placed the tray on the table and said, "Brother-in-law, my wife said that you like steamed buns the most, so she heated some up for you to try."
When Lu Jueyu heard this, she glanced at her husband and gave him a thumbs-up in her heart. Her husband really knew how to ask for praise.
As expected, Song Li looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Yuyu still remembers that Brother likes steamed buns."
Lu Jueyu smiled and said, "Of course. The kindness and care my uncles and cousins showed me, I will never forget."
After they took their seats, Lu Jueyu handed them each a warm steamed bun and said, "Brother, I heard about what happened in your family from my mother. I know what my eldest cousin-in-law did and what happened to Xiao Min."
