Chapter 393: Chapter 389: Priceless Favorite [Seeking Monthly Tickets+]
——————
When they first arrived in the county town, Little Ya would still tell Zhou Xiuhua: she didn’t want to marry anymore and would rather stay with her parents forever—
The sudden appearance of this young man surnamed Zhou, Zhou Xiuhua was genuinely surprised and delighted at the time.
After all, which family has a daughter who doesn’t want to get married? Which family understands the taste...
But before the surprise even reached her heart, the old man had a displeased look on his face—
Then, San’er even said that the man’s family background was too prominent, her husband also disapproved, so she could only stay silent.
As a mother, seeing her daughter willing to agree, her heart tilted toward her, what’s more, the meaning conveyed in Little Ya’s words was like a stab to her heart!
"Old man, we are old, how long can we stay with Little Ya? You always tell me, ’The grandchildren will have their own blessings’, this time, I’m using this phrase to persuade you. True desires are priceless, if Little Ya is willing, let’s follow her wishes, ah~"
Zhou Xiuhua glanced at Zhou Zhenghui, who was not lacking in presence, lowered her head and tugged at the old man’s arm, her voice not loud, but not avoiding everyone, just softly persuading Mr. Xie.
Simply seeing Little Ya’s willingness was enough. Which mother would truly make things difficult for her daughter in such an important life event?
Fortunately, it’s not because the suitor was lacking, but because he was exceptionally qualified, which provided some invisible comfort. At least, in the future, the most she might suffer is a bit more grievance, not physical suffering!
In her old opinion, physical well-being is the capital! Her daughter has got to be younger than her future in-laws, suffering a bit could be seen as a lesson bought—
"Mom~" Xie Jingzi’s eyes, shallow and originally reddened due to heartache, suddenly filled with moved tears when she heard her mother wholeheartedly speaking for her good, looking at her parents tenderly.
She knew her parents were stopping her because they truly had her best interests at heart, not wanting her to regret her decision in the future.
Old people’s wisdom, of course, comes with more life experiences than such a young girl just reaching adulthood.
The status of the Zhou family, just by looking at how Zhou Zhenghui, not even thirty years old, could hold the third highest official position in a county town’s economic center, was clearly powerful and prestigious!
Xie Jingzi knew, their ’Xie’ family, although looked like a grand clan with many uncles and nephews, often resulted in chaos due to many opinions, despite being united against outsiders, they couldn’t escape the fact they came from peasant origins.
A person’s economic power and strength determine the kind of status they can uphold, she herself knew, if she truly married into the Zhou family, even if Zhou Family’s parents were generous in accepting her, her days wouldn’t be easy.
Her background was an unchangeable reality.
Xie Jingzi wasn’t foolish, especially after being mentored by Third Sister-in-law and living in the county town, in an environment of high school seniors, which was already a mini society itself, she matured very quickly.
She was no longer the slightly spoilt village girl she used to be.
Initially, she hesitated partly due to Zhou Zhenghui’s high status, now seeing her parents’ reluctance, she felt somewhat ’resistant’, and Zhou Zhenghui who made a living by analyzing people’s hearts—a little girl’s subtle thoughts couldn’t escape his sharp peach blossom eyes.
Once Zhou Zhenghui noticed a problem, he immediately dispelled Xie Jingzi’s little hesitation. After finally reaching the step of meeting her parents, should he stop here?
Afterward, he would continue his single life as before?
How could that be possible?
"Little one, what do you say?" Xie Tiesheng patted his wife’s old hand and looked up at his youngest daughter, "Mom and dad are old now, from now on, you have to walk your own path. Once you make a decision, even if you have to kneel, you must finish it kneeling!"
Mr. Xie finished speaking and glanced at Zhou Zhenghui, feeling uneasy in his heart.
When Zhou Zhenghui met Xie Tiesheng’s gaze, his face showed a thankful smile. After all, who would want to turn a marriage into a grand battle?
"Dad..." As soon as Xie Jingzi heard this, she knew her dad had given in. She glanced at her third sister-in-law and had a myriad of thoughts racing through her mind, fear nestled in her heart, and she became timid.
Life is long, and she is only eighteen; does she really have to decide her future ’path’ now?
Yan Jinsu wiped the teapot and glanced at Zhou Zhenghui out of the corner of her eye, her thoughts wavering. Her in-laws were too honest and simple; they just agreed like that?
She merely persuaded with a few words, and it went this smoothly?
Well, one could say that Yan Jinsu has always been very in tune with Xie Tiesheng’s heart. Now that he is older, coupled with the last half year of recuperating, his mentality has improved a lot, and he is willing to listen to advice.
Moreover, his wife’s sickness really needs ’smooth sailing,’ he had let his wife suffer for most of their marriage, and now that their children are grown and he has ten grandchildren, he can truly let go of his pride. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Pride is not as important as inner fulfillment.
His wife was right, true satisfaction is priceless.
Now that his youngest daughter is caring about this, singing a different tune now would only hurt her.
He’s over fifty now, truly not young anymore. Hearing his daughter-in-law speak out to persuade, gave him a way out gracefully, and there, he saw the joyful expression on Zhou Zhenghui’s face because of his words, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. It’s all debts!
"Little one, mom and dad won’t pressure you, don’t panic... Since you guys are dating, then date seriously. As for meeting the parents, let’s wait a bit, no rush. Ultimately, it’s a significant event in your life, you two should think it over and be sure before you meet the parents."
Seeing her husband relax, Zhou Xiuhua quickly took the opportunity to speak to her youngest daughter, then turned her head and said to Zhou Zhenghui with a friendly smile:
"Xiao Zhou, the old lady might be a bit much, my little daughter, she’s been pampered and is a bit naive and delicate, please bear with her."
"No no, great aunt, you are too kind, Xiaozi is really great. Great uncle, great aunt, third sister-in-law, rest assured, I am serious about this relationship, as long as Xiaozi is willing, we can get married right away."
Zhou Zhenghui felt like his heart was hung up throughout this sudden twist in the situation, and seeing the future Yue Family was no longer opposing, his heart finally settled back into place.
For twenty-eight years, it was the first time he faced rejection because he was ’Zhou Family’. This feeling... probably any member of the Zhou Family knowing this would be shocked.
Now, he also realized Yan Jinsu’s position within the Xie Family, it seems, not only does Little Zi’er listen intently to her third sister-in-law, even the future parents-in-law value her words greatly.
Since Zhou Xiuhua made her stance clear, Xie Tiesheng naturally wouldn’t contradict her, and just then, it was time to feed Bao’er upstairs, Yan Jinsu reflexively stood up and said to everyone:
"Xiao Zhou, stay a while longer, have dinner here tonight. Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi might be hungry, I’ll go upstairs to check on them. Dad, why not take out your chess set and play with Xiao Zhou. As for the little one, you go make dinner with mom, I will come down in a bit."
