Chapter 171: Chapter 137: Doesn’t Know What’s Appropriate?_2

With her own five children, when she lost Raorao, she herself nearly followed, and now with these four, each one was the flesh of her heart. Putting herself in their shoes, she immediately understood the hesitation of Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan.

After understanding, she actually felt more fondness towards their hesitancy. If they were really just after the Zhou family’s wealth and status, this couple should have already joyously agreed by now.

Seeing that Zhou Jingping and Lin Yanqiu had spoken, Second Uncle Zhou, Zhou Gangping, and Second Aunt Liang, Liang Xiaohong, also said a few flattering words. Following them, Zhou Xikang, Zhou Jiping, and Zhou Xiangping, the sisters, all expressed their positions one by one.

Of course, regarding the hesitation of Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, they were dismissive, but since the elders had shown their stance, adopting an attitude that they must have their way, all they could do was cooperate.

Moreover, considering the rotten temper and stubbornness of their own Laosan, it was better to let him marry a wife sooner. Perhaps, having a wife might really improve his temperament. Yes, that was their collective hope!

Being bombarded like this by everyone, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan felt somewhat overwhelmed. They knew that with their family’s conditions, they indeed had no right to hesitate, but for them to simply agree outright, they truly couldn’t do it.

When their gaze shifted to Zhou Mikang, who was clasping his hands without showing any emotion, the couple hesitated even more.

No one knows a daughter better than her parents.

They could clearly feel their daughter’s trepidation and fear, and because of this, despite being very satisfied with Zhou Mikang, they grew more and more hesitant, finding it increasingly difficult to decisively agree.

"We’ll discuss it with Chuxia first and make a decision, okay?" Finally, Lin Baohe spoke, his gaze towards Old Master Zhou clearly somewhat guilty.

After this long discussion, Old Master Zhou’s emotions had completely settled down, so he smiled and nodded at him, "Indeed, this matter was my abruptness, haha..."

"Don’t Lin Chuxia’s grandparents need to be involved in the decision?" Old Madam Zhou’s voice suddenly rose, and as several people turned toward the sound, the door had already closed.

"This old wife..." Old Master Zhou helplessly shook his head, "Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhao, don’t feel pressured. This old lady has a grizzly temperament. She’s not targeting your daughter; she just likes to oppose me. Usually, whatever I support, she always wants to butt heads with me, but eventually, she will follow my wishes.

However, what she just said is also true. Should we consult the child’s grandparents about this marriage? If needed, we could possibly delay it a bit."

Zhou Jingping just inwardly touched his forehead, obviously, his own Old Master still held some blame towards Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made that suggestion.

"This..." Zhao Yulan glanced at her husband and felt a bit at a loss. Chuxia’s marriage was not something that required the decision of Lin family’s old master and old madam, but if she was too affirmative in her reply now, would the Zhou family think less of Chuxia?

But if she said that the old master and old madam needed to make the decision, what if the Zhou family actually sought their input? Though they had clearly driven their family out of the Lin family, if they knew that there was a chance for Chuxia to marry into the Zhou family, they definitely would not miss such a good opportunity.

At that point, if the old couple made huge demands, not to mention whether the Zhou family would agree, their family’s face would be utterly lost!

No, she definitely couldn’t let the old couple be involved in this!

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan thought the same, and for a moment, the couple were stuck, sweating profusely but unable to find the right words to say.

"My marriage is not something my grandparents will be involved in." Chuxia stood up, her face tense, "Grandpa Zhou, Uncle Zhou, and everyone present, I’m also unclear about how you truly feel about marrying a girl like me into your family.

So, I’m very nervous. I’m not even eighteen yet, and marriage feels quite distant to me. Now, suddenly being put on the agenda, I’m quite uncomfortable.

My parents are hesitant to immediately agree, probably because they sense my nervousness and resistance. They love me, hence they consider everything for me. Likewise, I love them and don’t want them to continue to be troubled.

Our family was already ousted from the Lin family by my grandparents. If we were to seek their opinion now, it would only make things difficult for my parents, and moreover, the consequences of seeking their opinion are likely not what the Zhou family wants."

Everyone present was intelligent, and what remained unsaid was also understood. Marrying or not marrying wasn’t something she could outright state, so after saying this, Chuxia smiled at everyone and then sat back down.

"Lin Chuxia, come outside for a moment." Zhou Mikang suddenly stood up and walked outside.

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan reflexively stood up, their gazes filled with worry as they looked towards their daughter.

"It’s okay, Dad, Mom, you just sit." Comforting her parents, Chuxia followed him out.

Turning right out of the yard, they arrived at a pretty little garden. Zhou Mikang led Chuxia to sit beside a small round table, staring at her expressionlessly, silent for a long while.

"What do you mean?" Chuxia stared back unflinchingly, "Did you bring me out here just to try to kill me with your glare?"

Zhou Mikang’s lips twitched slightly, "Parents have come, and you’ve grown bold, haven’t you?"

"Yes!" Chuxia straightened her back, "Did you think only you have backup? Hmph, I have it too!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
