Chapter 286: Chapter 204: The Dual Unity Chapter_3

In matters concerning her daughter, Zhao Yulan was not confused and quickly said, "Uncle, the two kids just took a liking to each other on their own. As for how it happened, we don’t know either."

"Hehe..." the old master chuckled inexplicably a few times.

Hesitating for a moment, Lin Baohe then said, "Uncle, it’s not that we’re not telling you, we’re telling the truth."

"I believe it, I’m just amused because fate really is strange. That boy, I’ve watched him grow up, and I never would have imagined, never would have imagined..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe’s expressions became a bit unsightly. What did he never imagine? Did that mean their daughter wasn’t good enough for Zhou Mikang?

Thinking this, the couple lost the desire to talk further with the old master and just kept their heads down and walked on.

Having reached his advanced age, the old master could see everything clearly. Eyeing the couple’s expressions, he realized that his previous comments had caused a misunderstanding, and thus he cheerfully said, "You’re not old, but you still have quite the temper.

What I meant was not that your daughter isn’t good enough for Xiaomi, but rather that I’m surprised Xiaomi could find mutual affection with a girl on his own. In my memory, he was never one to initiate conversations with girls. It seems he has grown up and become capable. It looks like I’ll need to pay a visit to the Zhou family."

"Uncle, it’s our fault, we were being narrow-minded, sorry!" The couple apologized in unison.

The old master laughed, "You think too little of me. I’ve already promised you, and of course, I won’t mention your getting lost. Rest assured."

"Thank you, Uncle."

During their conversation, the three of them reached the entrance to the Zhou Family Ancestral Home. Gazing at the large sunflower at the door, the old master exhaled and his eyes were full of nostalgia.

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe exchanged glances, feeling somewhat at a loss. Seeing the old master’s demeanor, it seemed he hadn’t been to the Zhou residence in a long time, and moreover, that big flower at the entrance must have some significance. The thing was, they didn’t know whether the old master was friend or foe to the Zhou family; if they had brought the wrong person...

While the couple was lost in wild thoughts, the old master had already stepped inside.

The caretaker who came out in response to the noise was clearly startled upon seeing the old master, but quickly smiled and greeted him: "Old Master Zhou, hello!" Then, turning toward Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, "Sir, Madam, breakfast is ready."

Old Master Ye cheerfully took over the conversation: "Out for exercise, bumped into them, and just came over to bask in the joy. Little Liu, will you welcome me?"

The caretaker hurriedly said, "Welcome, of course welcome, Old Master Ye, you’re a rare visitor, if our master knew you’ve come, he would surely be especially delighted."

"Hehe..." The old master waved his hand, "Alright, I’m going to go back for my meal." Looking at Zhao Yulan and Lin Yuhe, he said, "Come visit me when you have time, this old man has too much free time and loves having guests."

The couple quickly nodded: "We will certainly come and see you again."

As they watched Old Master Ye leave, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then entered the house where everyone else was already up. Seeing the two come in, Zhao Yushan said with a look of surprise, "Where did you go early in the morning?"

Zhao Yulan hurriedly said, "We went out for some exercise."

Zhao Yucui laughed, "Now that you’re in the city, you’ve started keeping up with the habit, hehe..."

Lin Baojuan also chuckled, "Yeah, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, are you planning to become city people?"

Zhao Yuying glared at them and said, "Wait until your own daughters are married off, then you’ll understand the feelings."

"Big Sister, your daughter isn’t married off yet," Zhao Yucui said.

Zhao Yuying sighed, "She’s not married off yet, but ever since she got engaged, I’ve been on edge."

Zhao Yucui turned to her niece, "Meifeng, did you hear that? How much your mom dotes on you can be heard right from her words."

"Yes, my mom dotes on me." Wang Meifeng smiled faintly and then turned her gaze toward Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, you must be tired, please sit down and rest."

Zhao Yuying’s brow furrowed slightly, but she said nothing.

...

Zhou family.

Old Master Zhou, Old Madam Zhou, along with Zhou Jingping and his wife, Zhou Gangping and his wife, and Zhou Shanping along with Xu Zhenghong and his wife, sat in the seats of honor, one by one accepting Chuxia’s tea and handing over their red envelopes.

As Chuxia served the tea, her mind was filled with complaints. The Zhou family, seemingly progressive on the surface, was in reality still adhering to old customs. After making her rounds, she was nearly dizzy, but her hands were also getting soft from accepting all the red envelopes.

Thinking about how soon she would be able to offer a large amount of money to her parents, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. Don’t think her greedy; to her, ensuring her parents lived comfortably was what mattered most.
