Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 684 My sister-in-law has arrived, everyone get out of the way!
Liu Ruyan's arrival immediately brought liveliness to their home.

As for his mother's words, Lin Mo wanted to refute them, but seeing his mother's excited expression, he kept quiet. After all, provoking his mother now was not a wise choice.

Didn't you see that Comrade Lin's credit for cooking was stolen and he didn't dare say a word?
"By the way, Dad, what class are you in today?" Lin Mo asked.

His mother is a teacher, and since school is currently on holiday, it goes without saying that she is a teacher, but his father's situation is uncertain.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Lin said helplessly, "Go to work? What work? It's the first time you've brought your girlfriend home, and your mom made me take two days off."

Goodness, she really takes this seriously. Lin Mo has reason to suspect that even if her mother's school wasn't closed today, she would still ask for leave.

Lin Mo ate until he was completely full. Although the food wasn't as good as what he had made on Wednesday, it was definitely the best meal he had had at home in all these years.

The blueberry yam dish was placed in front of Liu Ruyan by her mother, and no one was allowed to eat it.

Old Lin was given a special instruction by his mother today: no smoking or drinking at home for the next two days. He's not allowed to smoke at home or drink at the dinner table, which is making Old Lin feel quite uncomfortable.

After dinner, the father and son stayed behind to clean up the mess, while the mother, Zhou Min, sat on the newly bought sofa with Liu Ruyan in her arms and chatted.

"Yanyan, what does your family do? How many people are in your family?" Zhou Min began using the usual questioning techniques of an elder, probing into her family's background.

Although Lin Mo had told her about Liu Ruyan's family situation before, it did not stop the old woman from continuing to chat.

Just like Ms. Cheng, she had already heard about his situation from Liu Ruyan, but she still questioned him the first time they met.

Simply put, it can be called "getting a feel for the other person's family"—to see what their family is like and to consider marriage in the future.

“Auntie, there are three people in my family. My parents are an only child, and we have a company that does some business.” Liu Ruyan replied obediently.

There was no need to go into too much detail, because she believed that Lin Mo had already given her a general idea.

"I see. It's fine to have only one child in the family. In today's society, men and women are equal."

"I heard from his cousin, Xiaohe, that Yanyan, your family is very well-off, while we are just an ordinary family. But don't worry, when you get married, we will contribute as much as we can to buy a house. We will definitely do our best to ensure you don't suffer any injustice," Zhou Min said.

To be honest, when they learned that their son had found a rich heiress, the two elders felt quite pressured. After all, the wedding house alone couldn't be too bad. They were thinking of buying a house together and using Lin Mo's own savings of over a million yuan to make a down payment for them in Jiangning.

If Lin Mo hadn't said he was bringing his girlfriend home, she wouldn't be under so much pressure. Now that he's brought her home, there's definitely something going on!
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Auntie, there's no need. We can build the wedding room ourselves. My family will also provide a car and a house as part of the dowry."

“That won’t do. You’re bringing a dowry, but we, as the groom’s family, should also give something in return,” Zhou Min said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan glanced at Lin Mo and asked, "Didn't you tell your aunt?"

"Um, not yet." Lin Mo understood what Liu Ruyan meant; she was referring to the current income of his restaurant.

Even though his aunt already knew about this, Su He must have specifically told her not to say anything when she got home. After all, the person involved hasn't said anything yet, and it wouldn't be good for them to find out everything now.

"What didn't you tell me? Are you pregnant?" Zhou Min, the mother, was taken aback at first, then looked sharply at Liu Ruyan's belly.

Lin Mo: "Cough cough, no, no, Mom, don't be so alarmed!"

Liu Ruyan's pretty face turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Auntie, that's not it!"

Then she slowly began to speak, recounting how Lin Mo now owned a restaurant in Jiangning and earned a considerable monthly income.

"So Auntie, you and Uncle don't need to worry about us. We can handle it ourselves. Xiao Mo is really quite outstanding."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min and Old Lin turned to look at their eldest son with disbelief. Lin Mo immediately puffed out his chest and said smugly, "Yes, that's right!"

He didn't tell his family before because his restaurant was going through some trouble and might not be able to stay open. Now that the trouble is over, it's natural to tell his family.

After all, this income isn't like the shady business of buying things from shopping websites and then reselling them at high prices; there's nothing to hide.

"You can open a restaurant? You can cook? And you can make so much money?" Zhou Min, the mother, asked three questions in a row, her tone rising with disbelief.

It's understandable that Lin Mo, their own son, is a student who hasn't even graduated yet, opening a restaurant is already outrageous, but it's not entirely incomprehensible. After all, when he returned in October, his parents knew he had some money, so it's not impossible.

But they never expected Lin Mo to be able to cook. Over the years, the two elders had never eaten a meal cooked by Lin Mo, let alone a meal with cooking skills that would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

What was most shocking was that people actually went to eat there, and quite a few of them, which at least allowed his son to earn some money.

Comrade Lin's idea was much more pragmatic: "So much money? Tell me honestly, how much do you have on hand right now?"

"All things considered, it should be around 1000," Lin Mo said truthfully this time.

This is also a way of letting my family know the truth, so they don't worry too much. As for the future, there's no need to say anything more.

"Ten thousand?" Comrade Lin confirmed.

Lin Mo: "Of course, even if it were a piece, it wouldn't be enough to buy that lobster on the table!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lin's face flushed slightly, and he was indeed excited. His mother, Zhou Min, was also breathing rapidly: "So, we can buy a wedding house? That's great, that's great!"

"You and Dad don't need to worry about the house," Lin Mo didn't answer the question because he knew that it probably wouldn't be enough, but he could still earn money, so it should be fine.

If all else fails, I'll go to Macau in a few days and make some money.

"Wow, son, you've brought honor to the family!" Old Lin laughed heartily.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but say, "The restaurant was opened for me by Sister Ruyan. The whole place belongs to her, and she even helped with the renovations. I don't have that kind of ability!"

Indeed, although his cooking skills are excellent, he could have made a name for himself even without Liu Ruyan, but it would never have happened so quickly.

You should know that the customers were all people that Liu Ruyan and her team helped find in the beginning. Otherwise, who would spend a lot of money to eat at an unknown restaurant?

Upon hearing this, the two elders' gazes towards Liu Ruyan changed instantly.

At first, I thought my son was threatening someone else's daughter, but now it seems that my son is living off a woman!

Just then, there was a loud banging on the living room door.

"They're here!" Seeing his parents in shock, Lin Mo got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, my cousin Su He was standing outside. She then poked her head in to look around and asked, "Second Aunt, is my sister-in-law here?"

"Su Su? You're here!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in surprise.

That's right, Su He was invited by Liu Ruyan. It was mainly because Lin Mo's mother was too enthusiastic during the meal, and Su He couldn't handle it, so she asked for help.

"Haha, my sister-in-law has arrived! Everyone get out of the way! Sister-in-law, come and greet her!"

Everyone:.
