Chapter 325: Chapter 227 Arrangements (Part 2)

This Chapter has been heavily revised.

-------------------

"Isn’t my father-in-law’s goddaughter also my goddaughter? Lin Yanqiu, can’t you figure out such simple logic? Playing dumb, huh!" Zhu Xinqin intentionally squinted at her, "During this time, can you even protect Xiao Chuxia completely? If you can, I certainly won’t compete with you!"

Lin Yanqiu’s face darkened, and she said no more.

Yes, during this time, she simply couldn’t protect Chuxia. If Zhu Xinqin was willing to protect her, it was an enormous favor. What else did she have to fight about? Could it be that she would really wait until her daughter-in-law had an accident and then regret it?

"Xinqin, no matter what, everything we do is for Chuxia’s good. Yanqiu is Chuxia’s mother-in-law, and that’s a fact. Please mind your words a bit." Old Madam Zhou said as she pulled Chuxia in front of her, "This is my granddaughter-in-law, and no one is taking her away."

"Auntie, your attitude has changed quite fast." Zhu Xinqin chuckled, "Although losing Xiao Chuxia as a daughter-in-law doesn’t sit well with me, I’m still quite happy that you are protecting her."

"Enough, enough, don’t talk about all this nonsense in front of me." Old Madam Zhou said as she looked toward Old Master Zhou, "Is it time yet?"

"Two minutes to go." Old Master Zhou, with a smiling face, bowed to the other elders in the room, "I am deeply grateful for everyone’s kindness toward our Zhou family, and in return, the Zhou family will show our gratitude."

"Enough, Old Man Zhou, why talk such nonsense!"

"Exactly, if you have the energy to talk nonsense, better let me win at chess more often, which is much stronger than any words."

"Yeah, I just hope he doesn’t ruin the chess game, playing with him is like going to war, he annoys me the most."

"Yeah, Old Man Zhou, every time Old Wang plays chess with you and goes back, he’s always fuming. It’d be much stronger if you’d just let him win some."

"..."

When under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head, and now was the time to use everyone’s help. Although he was criticized, Old Master Zhou didn’t dare show discontent and cheerfully agreed with everyone. This made the other elders’ gaze towards Chuxia somewhat profound.

Everyone had a strange attitude toward the marriage of Zhou family’s Laosan.

Everyone present knew about the marriage alliance between the Zhou family and the Ye family, and they also knew why the alliance was called off.

In the subsequent years, Zhou Mikang had never favored any woman, and the Zhou family’s anxiety was very clear to everyone.

Therefore, when they learned that Zhou Mikang was getting married, everyone was curious about which girl had managed to change the stubborn young man from the Old Zhou family. To everyone’s surprise, the stubborn young man had married a country girl!

Hence, everyone tacitly accepted a common answer, this marriage, was merely to shut everyone up, a reluctant compromise. If he had married a daughter from a prominent family, kept at home without a care, would that family have allowed it?

If he married a daughter from a very poor family, it would be mutually beneficial, and perhaps even the best outcome.

As for the actions of the Zhou family today, it was easy to explain, whether satisfied with the bride or not, being bullied would naturally reflect badly on the Zhou family.

Most of them were not allied with the Zhou family, but they recognized and approved of Zhou family’s character. Therefore, based on the principle of helping others when possible, they had come without shirking.

Seeing Old Master Wan there, everyone was relieved, thankful that they had come!

Who was Old Master Wan? Being on the same side as him was definitely beneficial for them.

Their willingness to help the Zhou family had another reason, everyone had a poor outlook on the future of the Xiao family father and son, even considering them a mere flash in the pan.

Of course, the Xiao family father and son wouldn’t think so, otherwise, they wouldn’t have acted so arrogantly.

What the Zhou family faced this time was a big issue, but it certainly wasn’t earth-shattering. They were very certain of that, and as for whether a bad situation might turn out well later, that was even more unpredictable.

The elders, who had experienced countless troubles, had a keen insight into the situation and also firmly believed in their own judgment.

The auspicious time came, and both Old Master Jing and Old Master Wan formally acknowledged Chuxia as their goddaughter.

They personally took the tea Chuxia handed them and drank it all in one go.

All those present voiced their congratulations in unison.

Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao watched this scene nervously and excitedly.

They, compared to everyone seated in this room, were of lower status, but with their experience, they of course understood what this represented.
