Chapter 1199 The Zhou Family’s Decision (1)
After putting the teacup back on the coffee table, Mr. Zhou defended himself.
“Let me be clear first, I’m not nervous.
I have so many grandchildren, many of whom are married. Only Mingxuan, the youngest grandson, and the granddaughters younger than him are still unmarried. Many of my granddaughters-in-law have come to my house for the first time. Why should I be so nervous? "
This was true, and Mr. Wu believed his father-in-law's words, but he was a little puzzled.
"You're not nervous, why are you shaking?"
"I'm so excited that I'm shaking with excitement," Mr. Zhou explained.
"Mingxuan said before that Xiaoxue was dating him, but I couldn't believe it.
After all, how could Xiaoxue, who is so outstanding, fall in love with Mingxuan, a young boy?
This kid has been spoiled by you and us, and has always been like a child who has not grown up.
Although I have made a lot of progress since I went to the countryside, and although I don't want to admit it, I am still far behind Xiaoxue."
Uncle Zhou Yunting, who was reading a newspaper nearby, nodded in agreement.
"I was afraid that Mingxuan would tell us that Xiaoxue was lying to us by agreeing to date him.
Later, after he repeatedly emphasized it and Old Wu testified for him, we believed it.
But I’m also afraid that one day Xiaoxue will come to her senses and decide that Mingxuan is not worthy of her, and break up with him.”
"They have been dating for nearly two years, but Mingxuan has never brought Xiaoxue home to meet his parents. I thought this relationship was almost over.
Otherwise, after he came back and knew that Xiaoxue had also come to Beijing, we wouldn't have kept urging him to bring Xiaoxue to our house for a visit.
In addition to putting those people's ideas to rest, I also wanted to meet their parents so that they can settle the matter and put our minds at ease.
Otherwise, we would all be feeling anxious and uneasy. "
"Xiaoxue is finally coming today, but I still feel like I'm in a dream. It still feels a little unreal."
Old Wu thought to himself, it’s a good thing I didn’t let you know that Xiaoxue has been in Beijing for more than a year.
If you knew about this, and she hasn't come to see you, I'm afraid she would be worried to death.
Although it doesn't matter if I tell them now, if they knew that Xiaoxue has been in Beijing for more than a year and has not visited her boyfriend's parents, I'm afraid it would have a bad impression of her.
It seems I have to talk to Xiaoxue and Mingxuan about this. This matter has to be kept secret.
I also need to warn Junhao not to let anything slip.
Zhou Yunting supported his father and said, "I feel the same way, it feels like a dream.
We all know Xiaoxue's ability in making medicine. After all, the health-preserving pills she makes are now in great demand and not so easy to get.
She actually doesn't mind Mingxuan's lack of ability and is willing to date him. Our Zhou family's ancestors are so happy."
"If she hadn't given it to us through Mingxuan, Dad would have let it go, but Yunshang and I would definitely not have gotten any."
Upon hearing this, Elder Wu interrupted him immediately and said, "Alright, walls have ears, don't mention the fact that the health-preserving pills were made by Xiaoxue again.
Even my two oldest grandchildren have to keep it a secret and cannot be told to them."
Elder Zhou nodded, "Yun Ting, your father-in-law is right, don't mention this again.
If many people want to find out who made the health pills, don't let anyone know.
Some people's thoughts are not so simple.
Remember not to mention it again in any occasion, even if it’s just you and Yunshang.”
"Dad, father-in-law, don't worry, I understand." Zhou Yunwu nodded and accepted the advice.
"I said all this just to express my shock at the fact that Xiaoxue and Mingxuan are dating and are willing to meet their parents."
Mr. Wu comforted the old man, "Don't think too much.
With Xiaoxue's abilities, who else in this world is worthy of her?
If she really wants to find someone who is completely worthy of her, she will have to be single for the rest of her life."
Wu Yunshang, who had just finished packing and was going downstairs, heard this and continued,
"Dad, what you said is true. With Xiaoxue's ability, no man can be worthy of her.
We, Mingxuan, completely took advantage of the terrain and the people, so we were able to capture them."
Seeing his daughter coming down, Mr. Wu remembered his grandson's instructions to him and took the opportunity to say,
"My girl, it's great that you know this.
Let me tell you, Xiaoxue is not the ordinary daughter-in-law who revolves around her husband, children and the stove. She has a very broad world.
Don't be stupid when the time comes and treat her as the eldest or second son's wife.
She is now busy making medicine and researching new prescriptions all day long, and she also has to go to school, so she can't take care of those trivial matters at home.
As a future mother-in-law, you have to be considerate of her and not cause more trouble."
Mr. Wu felt that as his daughter's biological father, he had to make this clear.
After all, my in-laws' mother is no longer around, and as a father-in-law, it is not appropriate for him to say this. If the son-in-law says it, he is afraid of causing family conflicts, so it is more appropriate for him to say it.
Hearing her father's familiar words, Wu Yunshang couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Dad, please stop talking.
Ever since I found out that Mingxuan had made it clear that he liked Xiaoxue and would marry no one else, he would say these words every time he wrote to me or called me.
And you, after they successfully started dating, you would talk about these things to me every time you wrote to me or met me.
Yun Ting also said that I am about to get calluses on my ears. "
"You are the good ones, and I am the evil mother-in-law, right?
I have been a mother-in-law for many years, and I have never interfered in the family affairs of the eldest and second sons.
How come I have become an evil mother-in-law in your eyes?" Wu Yunshang felt very wronged.
Zhou Yunting explained, "Hey, it's not because you always feel guilty towards Mingxuan, always want to compensate him, and always ask about his affairs in every detail, which makes us misunderstand.
The eldest and the second in command are not with us, so you have no chance to intervene.
It seems that Mingxuan will stay in Beijing for now. It is close to the capital, so it will be convenient for you to take care of him and his wife."
Wu Yunshang glared at her husband and said, "Don't worry, after they get married, I will never interfere in their affairs.
Judging from their appearance, it is impossible for them to live with us. They will definitely move out.
When the time comes, they can live their life however they want, and I promise not to interfere.
However, if they are too busy after the baby is born and want me to help, that's fine too.
But I can't live with them to take care of their child. I have to bring the child to the compound.
So that they don’t get offended by something and accuse me of meddling in their affairs.”
Old Mr. Wu knew his daughter's temper very well, as she had been spoiled since she was a child.
Even after getting married, her son-in-law still dotes on her too much and she has no time to tolerate others.
With her personality, she is not suitable to live with her daughter-in-law for a long time.
When he heard his daughter talking about bringing the child to the compound to be raised, Mr. Wu quickly shook his head.
"You are not needed to raise their children.
Children should not be separated from their parents. With Mingxuan's example in mind, you still haven't come to your senses.
If he had not been with you since he was a child, you would not feel guilty about him and would not have spoiled him all the time.
As for me, I would not spoil him too much just because I felt sorry for him because he had no parents to discipline him, nor would I be too harsh on him.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Xiaoxue, who showed him the difference, he wouldn't have grown. "
"My daughter, your temper is only better with Mingxuan, but it's different with other people.
Xiaoxue is not a sweet-talker who can flatter people. She is a researcher and doesn't like to interact with people.
You can't live together for a long time, it's better to stay away from each other to avoid family discord."
