Chapter 206: Chapter 157: The Formidable Daddy and Mommy Xia_2

"I won’t decide for you," Old Madam Zhou was not cooperative at all, "even if you bring those types back, I don’t care for them."

Liang Xiaohong laughed, "Right, once you brought back a girl from the post office, not bad looking, but whenever she spoke, she’d always stare at our ceiling. It made me look up for quite a while too, thinking something was growing up there."

The old lady also pursed her lips, "There was another one, also nice to look at, but the moment she walked in, she first asked if after getting married, she could live in our house, and if her parents could live here too. By the time she mentioned her brother and sister-in-law, I thought she wanted to move her entire family in with us."

"Yeah, yeah, I thought she wanted to bring her brother and sister-in-law to live with us too..." Younger Aunt Zhou Yueping chuckled as she patted Li Aiyuan’s arm, "Sister-in-law, guess what she really wanted?"

Li Aiyuan had no choice but to play along, "What did she want?"

"She wanted our family to get her brother a job at a certain department. Do you know what her brother and sister-in-law do for a living?" Zhou Yueping sneered, "Assembly line workers in a factory, didn’t even finish elementary school. I really couldn’t believe she had the nerve to make that request. We may be eager for a daughter-in-law, but we would never do something that harms the national interest."

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe glanced at each other with bewildered expressions. What was the meaning of this? A warning to not entertain such thoughts in the future?

"Rest assured, we won’t have such demands. We just hope that after Chuxia marries into the family, the Zhou family members will treat her sincerely, and Regimental Commander Xiao Zhou will genuinely cherish her. As for me and her mother, her eldest maternal uncle and aunt, we’re not the sort of people who only think about basking in her good fortune."

However, let me say upfront, if anyone from the Zhou family dares to bully her, I would risk my life if necessary to seek justice for her." Whenever it came to his daughter’s interests, Lin Baohe was always ready to go on the offensive, and this time was no exception.

Zhou Yueping looked embarrassed, "Brother Lin, you’ve misunderstood. I really didn’t mean that. When I was talking just now, I never even thought about it in that way. I just wanted to share a laugh."

Xu Zhenghong also quickly chimed in, "Brother Lin, Yueping is telling the truth. She’s just blunt like that, she didn’t think before speaking."

Old Madam Zhou made a face but didn’t say anything, though in her heart she looked down on Lin Baohe a bit. It was just a trivial matter, was there a need to escalate it like this? His daughter would marry into the Zhou family and we won’t be able to say or do anything to her?

It’s not just the Lins with their modest background, even the Ye Family would not dare to say such things, right? Marrying into someone else’s family and yet expecting to be treated like a goddess, isn’t that so?

Zhao Yulan smiled apologetically at everyone, "Her father is just like that. Our Xia was frail when she was young, and other kids often bullied her. Her father got used to defending her.

After Chuxia marries in, if she does something wrong, we’ll still need everyone to guide her. She’s just a kid and bound to make mistakes; we just hope that no one will blame her and that she’ll be given the chance to correct them."

"Don’t worry, we’ll treat her like our own daughter," Lin Yanqiu hurried to express her stance, but secretly sneered to herself. This couple is something else, so nervous before, but at the moment of fighting for Lin Chuxia’s rights, they suddenly transformed.

Ah, the things parents do. Actually, weren’t she and her husband the same?

If before Lin Yanqiu accepted Chuxia and her family only because of her son’s acceptance, now she genuinely liked the family.

She really didn’t like those who were spineless and submissive. People should have some fire and spirit.

It’s all about a change of heart, a different outlook. The same issue, seen through the eyes of Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu, resulted in entirely different outcomes.

Liu Lingmei now found everything about Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan distasteful. In her view, the girls she had introduced to Zhou Mikang before had better figures, looks, and family backgrounds than Lin Chuxia. Even the girl who had the audacity to ask for her family to move in was better than Lin Chuxia!

This Lin Chuxia’s parents claimed they didn’t want to take advantage, but she guessed that would change after the marriage. And considering their current attitude, it was likely they would be difficult to deal with in the future.

She couldn’t understand her nephew’s taste at all.

Yes, Lin Chuxia was passably good-looking, but at first glance, she didn’t seem capable of taking charge of important matters, and weren’t all Zhou family daughters-in-law capable of handling both inside and outside tasks?

It seems the traditions of the Zhou family would change starting from here. Sigh, since this nephew was the most capable and had the strongest opinions, right or wrong, they were unlikely to listen to any advice.

"Dad, Mom, eldest maternal uncle, aunt, don’t worry. No one in this house would dare to make life difficult for Chuxia. If they do, I’ll take her and move out. We’ll live on our own," Zhou Mikang publicly stated his commitment while sitting next to Lin Baohe.

Liu Lingmei was still grumbling with various complaints when Zhou Mikang made his statement.

If she still harbored any thoughts of turning things around before, now she was devoid of such delusions. She knew her nephew’s temperament all too well; now that he had said it, he would definitely act on it. It was best not to provoke such resentment. In the future, she just needed to ensure her own daughter-in-law was properly vetted.

Old Master Zhou glared at his daughter, then turned to Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, "Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhao, don’t take to heart what these few have said. Rest assured, the people of the Zhou family are all reasonable. My old wife isn’t against Chuxia either; she’s just stubborn in her ways. Give it some time for her to spend with Chuxia and you might find that the one who protects Chuxia the most is her." (To be continued.
