The couple understood everyone’s good intentions and were very grateful, but their mood also relaxed. Maybe they were a bit too obsessed about certain things. They only had one daughter and couldn’t bear to be parted from her. So, basically, they’d have to live with this big family for a lifeti. Being too clear-cut and particular would only make everyone uncomfortable.
Being a bit more diligent and contributing more strength to this family should be the best approach.
The phone in the living room rang. Mrs. Zhang went to answer it and shortly after, looked at Lin Baohe: "Comrade Lin, it’s your call."
It was Old Master Lin calling. He said that Lin Wenjie’s engagent date was set for the nineteenth of the first month, and asked Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan’s family to definitely attend. He ntioned that if Zhou Mikang was unavailable, Lin Wenbin could drive them back together.
After hanging up the phone, Chuxia looked at him bewildered: "Wasn’t it said that the girl’s grandfather was seriously ill and they wanted to reschedule?"
Lin Wenjie’s engagent was originally set for the fifteenth of the first month. But on the tenth, Lin Wenjie’s girlfriend Fang Jingzi’s grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill, and the hospital issued a critical notice. The two families discussed and decided to postpone the engagent until the old man’s health improved. Or, if anything unfortunate happened, to wait until next year.
Lin Baohe laughed: "Your great uncle said the elder’s health was robust and he managed to pull through. The first thing he asked after regaining consciousness was about his granddaughter’s engagent, so it was rescheduled to the nineteenth, which is also an auspicious day. By that ti, the elder should be nearly recovered and could personally attend his granddaughter’s engagent banquet."
"I see..." Zhao Yulan looked hesitantly at Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou, "Then maybe my second brother and sister-in-law shouldn’t co over; otherwise, once we leave, they might not feel at ease."
"Look at you, overthinking again?" Old Madam Zhou looked at her helplessly, "You should do what you need to do. There are so many people at ho, how could your second brother and sister-in-law be treated poorly?"
"No..." Zhao Yulan, anxious, turned red-faced, "If it were my eldest brother’s family, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate at all. But for my second brother’s family, I still worry a bit."
"If they really do sothing unpleasant, then just keep your distance from these relatives in the future. You can’t just act based on imagination, right?" Old Madam Zhou sighed in resignation, "Yulan, your character is too cautious. It’s a good thing Chuxia isn’t like you. I think Chuxia is more like Baohe."
Startled for a mont, Lin Baohe scratched his head and laughed: "Auntie, you set up intentionally so I wouldn’t say inappropriate things. You’re obviously always thinking of us. Well, I won’t do anything to disappoint you then. We’ll go, and the family matters will be left to uncle, aunt, and the brothers and sisters-in-law. You know, we’re one family, let’s not speak like we’re two families!"
"That’s the spirit." Old Master Zhou also laughed and teased, "Yulan, you should learn from Baohe; he’s more open-minded than you."
"Yes, I’ll listen to uncle. But really, considering his background, it’s right for him to be better than ." Zhao Yulan rarely joked, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.
The next morning, Zhou Mikang and Chuxia accompanied Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe to the hospital to discharge Zhao Qiyan. When Zhao Yulan ntioned taking them to the Zhou family to recuperate, Zhao Yushui and Lin Xiaohua seed montarily stunned.
If Lin Xiaohua were the sa as before, she would have been overjoyed upon hearing this decision, perhaps even calculating ways to benefit herself. However, now, her first reaction was to shrink back: "Yulan, forget it. We’ll just stay at the guesthouse. As long as Qiyan doesn’t move around much, it’s fine. The guesthouse has a cafeteria, and there’s food available. We’re quite comfortable there."
Zhao Yushui also quickly said: "Yes, Baohe, Yulan, since you’re staying at Chuxia’s husband’s family, having us all stay there is inappropriate. Our family’s conditions aren’t as good as theirs, and if we continue being oblivious, they’ll eventually get fed up.
Back then, the two of them didn’t understand things well. Please don’t take it to heart. After experiencing so much, they’ve co to understand the situation. We shouldn’t let our family’s ss make the Zhou family dissatisfied with Chuxia."
After speaking, he suddenly realized that Tongzi, standing by, was also part of the Zhou family. He wanted to explain but didn’t know how, his face instantly turning pig liver red...
Zhao Yulan quickly said: "Second brother and sister-in-law, this wasn’t suggested by Baohe and , nor by Chuxia. It was proposed by Chuxia’s father-in-law and mother-in-law."
