Even if Qingqing is willing to get married from ho, the fact that she doesn’t get along with her parents is known to everyone.
You can only bla the parents for breaking their child’s heart.
Li Suolan knew this thod, but they thought it would look better to have her return ho. With the situation at this point, their daughter resolutely refused.
She had asked her son and daughter-in-law to persuade her several tis without success.
So she thought of coming to find Liang Hongi. Compared to her biological parents, the daughter listens more to her in-laws.
Now, to Mu Qing, these parents of hers are no better than a stranger.
This mother-in-law, Liang Hongi, treats her better than her own mother.
She sighed countless tis at night, full of regret. If only she had known that Lin Guozhi was Lin Yinghui’s father, they would have agreed earlier. No. If only their daughter had explained that Lin Yinghui was i Shuqing’s godson, they wouldn’t have opposed.
A godson! i family’s godson. How incredible it would be in the future.
Who would have thought that this poor boy from the countryside, Lin Yinghui, would be so capable and recognize i Shuqing as his godfather?
Li Suolan saw that Liang Hongi was also unwilling to diate, sat for a while, then left. With only two days left for the wedding, unable to persuade their daughter, they could only go along with her and let her leave from the military unit.
"Mom, what was Saozi’s mom doing here?" Lin Wan said as she ca downstairs after taking a bath and changing clothes.
"Your Saozi doesn’t want to go ho, she wants to get married from the military unit. They are a bit unwilling, feel like your Saozi is embarrassing them. Since they couldn’t convince your Saozi, they ca to ask to help persuade your Saozi."
"Mom, don’t bother with them. They brought this on themselves." They made my brother suffer so much, not punishing them already is lenient. They should have gone to the temple long ago to thank their good daughter.
"I’m not bothered with her. Now, I wish your Saozi wouldn’t care for them. With in-laws like these, things will be less troubleso in the future." Lately, Liang Hongi has gotten to know a few neighbors in the courtyard.
She sowhat knows so of the things about the couple.
"I heard that back when your Saozi’s brother was getting married, they used connections to find him a girl from a high-up family. That girl was so plump, at twenty hadn’t found a husband yet, was lazy all day. Who would want such a girl? Marrying her is like welcoming an ancestor. Yet they had a matchmaker arrange her for their son and married her."
"Ah, then Saozi’s brother is quite pitiful." A plump wife isn’t much, but being lazy all day isn’t good either.
"What’s pitiful? Your Saozi’s brother was quite willing. Not long after getting married, he got promoted from a platoon leader to a company commander. He’s happy doing this, treating his wife like a treasured Buddha. Heard his wife is in politics and does office work all day, just handling docunts without any exercise. They’ve been married for years and still haven’t had kids because being too fat makes it hard."
"..." Lin Wan really couldn’t comnt on this. Well, as they say, one willing to hit, one willing to suffer, their little life seems fine, what can one say.
"Mom, don’t worry about them. As long as my Saozi is fine, that’s all that matters. A married daughter, they can’t stretch their hands too far. Co on, I’ll take you upstairs to try on clothes. Your son’s getting married, lots of people will co. I bought you a set of clothes while in Shanghai, really beautiful, it’s foreign, perfect to wear on my brother’s wedding day."
Lin Wan changed the subject and pulled Liang Hongi upstairs.
"I have plenty of clothes. From what I observed, not many in our courtyard dress better than I do. I wear sothing casually out, and it’s the talk of the town. Many daughters-in-law ask where I bought it from and if it’s from Shanghai. I said my daughter made it, and they all praise her for being good." Many in the courtyard know about their family.
They assud the Lin family’s eldest daughter-in-law from the countryside would be a plain Jane, only to be surprised by a glamorous lady.
"Yes, yes, your daughter is certainly worth praising. Look how filial I am, here I bought you a silver bracelet. My second aunt has a silver necklace, and little aunt has a foreign watch."
"You’re so thoughtful. Your little aunt is a teacher. A watch suits her better."
Liang Hongi looked at the silver bracelet in her hand, quite satisfied.
"I found two Jade Bracelets in the antique market for Grandma and also for Grandpa. Grandma is still at Second Uncle’s house and hasn’t had the chance to send it. I’ve brought Grandma’s here, let’s wait for Ai Yi tomorrow, and we’ll visit Grandpa."
"With your eyes, do you recognize antiques? Don’t buy fakes like that thing from the junkyard, which looks like a teapot we still don’t know till now." Liang Hongi had Lin Guozhi look at it before.
Lin Guozhi said it seed ancient, but he’s not too sure. Though it surely has collectible value.
"I can’t tell if it’s fake." Lin Wan chuckled, "My grandpa would know. If it’s fake, we could just throw it away."
"You child, such a waste of money."
Liang Hongi’s words made Lin Wan secretly roll her eyes; she wasn’t short on money now.
In the evening, when her brother and father ca back.
Lin Wan gifted her father a pen. This pen has a section inlaid with gold, it’s from Europe, quite expensive, costing several hundred.
"This is nice," Lin Guozhi couldn’t be happier.
Learning that his daughter also bought him clothes made him feel proud. Having a daughter is great, more attentive than a son.
After so many years, being like a lonely soul with no one to care, now suddenly having a wife, a thoughtful son, and a daughter feels like a blessing.
At night, the happy scene of family harmony truly envious.
Little Xingxing, this tiny thing, upon seeing Grandpa, clung to his neck and wouldn’t let go, fussing to be lifted high.
Unable to express herself, she climbed straight onto Lin Guozhi’s neck.
Lin Guozhi imdiately understood, promptly let his granddaughter ride on his shoulders, running two laps around the room.
After dinner, Lin Wan gave her brother the things prepared for Saozi.
Telling him to send them to Saozi when he has ti tomorrow, a pearl necklace, and a red jade bead bracelet to match the red water-thed wedding dress Lin Wan designed for her better.
"Why didn’t you bring them when you ca a few days ago?" Lin Yinghui smiled as he looked at the things his sister prepared for his wife, out of all there was nothing for himself.
"I just forgot, did Saozi like that wedding dress I made for her?"
Lin Yinghui smiled bashfully, "Mm, Saozi liked it a lot. Her sisters liked it so much, they’re all vying to borrow it."
"Of course, look whose design it is."
"Why only prepare for Saozi, not ?"
Lin Wan glanced at him, "How could there be none? I prepared a whole outfit for you, what decorations would a man need?"
Lin Yinghui chuckled and nodded, "Alright, alright, I have the best sister."
Despite what Lin Wan said, she mysteriously pulled out sothing in the end. Smiling, she placed it into her brother’s pocket.
Lin Yinghui asked puzzled, "What is it? So secretive." He said as he reached to check it.
Lin Wan quickly covered his pocket with a laugh, "Brother, hehe, check it when you return, you’ll surely be satisfied."
Lin Yinghui fondly ruffled her hair, "Alright."
Then he took the item back to his room, eagerly pulling out the thing his sister gave him.
A small box. Lin Yinghui thought it might be a watch or sothing, but when he opened it, it turned out to be so transparent balloons.
"Ha, this girl still acts like a child, even giving balloons."
Lin Yinghui laughed helplessly, tossing the balloons aside.
After taking a bath, he ca back and just as he was about to lie down, a thought from what Li Congnan said dawned on him. He suddenly got up.
He grabbed the balloons tossed aside, realizing what was in hand, he covered his forehead helplessly shaking his head, laughing, "This girl, even gives such things. At least no jokes were made." He thought it could’ve been left in the room openly, welcoming family, and friends into the new room the day after could’ve been a laugh.
Han Yi arrived around noon the next day. To his surprise, Brother Nan and Brother Jianye also ca with him.
"Hey, how did you guys et?" Brother Nan and co actually drove here.
"Ran into them at the door, so I brought them in," Han Yi hadn’t seen the kids for over two months. Once inside, he held Little Xingxing for a full turn.
"If I knew you were coming too, I would have co with you directly."
"We thought you’d already returned early with Ah Hui. But this ti we set out early, been out for a week, just taking the opportunity to check out nearby distribution points."
"So, did you gain anything?"
