Chapter 1020 [Xiangmi 1 Life 1 29]
"Okay, okay, stop arguing between the two of you. Youyou will get married eventually, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. Zhou Shengchen is indeed a good kid, and we can't be too picky about him. Besides, who can guarantee that the next one will be better than Zhou Shengchen?" Lin's mother said earnestly.
Lin Zhendong frowned, seeming a little unwilling: "But, Youyou is so young, I really don't want her to get married so early. How about keeping her for a few more years?"
Mother Lin shook her head and patiently explained, "Your idea is not very realistic. We are only engaged now, not getting married right away. Besides, Youyou is of marriageable age, so it's better to settle down sooner."
Lin Zhendong sighed, still a little worried: "But, whenever I think about my precious daughter becoming someone else's, I feel very uncomfortable. No, we must choose a date that is as long as possible for the wedding. We can't let her get married so soon!"
Mother Lin looked at Lin Zhendong and smiled helplessly: "You, you are such a stubborn old man. Be careful that your daughter will come after you! Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and we as parents cannot interfere too much. Besides, it doesn't mean that your daughter can't come back after getting married. After she gets married, why don't you let her live with her son-in-law in the compound?"
"What you said makes sense, but will my future son-in-law agree?" Lin Zhendong frowned and said with doubt on his face.
"You've already let him marry your daughter, how can he not agree?" Lin's mother rolled her eyes at Lin Zhendong and retorted unhappily, "Besides, you will become his father-in-law by then, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Mom and Dad, do you agree to this?" the three sons standing by asked in unison, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Lin Zhendong waved his hands quickly and explained: "I didn't say that."
Mother Lin glared at Lin Zhendong, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and blame, and then said: "The in-laws asked us when to go over to discuss the engagement party for the two children. I think this matter is very important, so let's go over tomorrow."
Lin Zhendong seemed a little unimpressed after hearing what his mother said. He replied nonchalantly, "No, Mom, I have an appointment with Lao Chen to go fishing tomorrow. I can't break the appointment, so I really don't have time tomorrow. How about we go in a few days?"
Mother Lin was somewhat surprised by Lin Zhendong's answer. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Why do I remember that Lao Chen seemed to be on a business trip? Did you remember it wrongly?"
Lin Zhendong was suddenly at a loss for words when his mother asked him this. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly explained, "Oh... yes, yes, yes, you see my memory is so bad, I did remember it wrong. It wasn't Lao Chen who asked me out, it was Lao Xia who asked me out to go fishing."
Mother Lin did not easily believe Lin Zhendong's words. She continued to ask, "Really? But I heard that Old Xia's daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, and the whole family was so happy that they went back to take care of their grandson. Are you sure it was Old Xia who asked you out?"
"Ah, then I must have remembered it wrong again. San'er, didn't you say you had something to ask Dad tomorrow?" As Lin Zhendong spoke, he quickly blinked at Lin Xinyu where Lin's mother couldn't see, as if hinting at something.
Lin Xinyu naturally understood what her father meant. Although she felt a little helpless, she decided to help him when she saw his expectant eyes. So, she took a deep breath and said to Lin's mother calmly, "Yes, Mom, I do have something to ask Dad tomorrow, and he may be busy and it will take some time."
When Lin's mother heard what Lin Xinyu said, she immediately turned her eyes to her, revealing a hint of doubt and confusion in her eyes. Lin Xinyu smiled unnaturally and continued to explain: "This matter is very important. I have to discuss it with my father. So, Mom, can you let my father and I stay to deal with this matter, and you go with my eldest brother and second brother?"
Mother Lin was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about Lin Xinyu's proposal. After a while, she slowly said, "Is that so? Well, since you have something to do, let the eldest and second son accompany me. Third son, you and your father can stay and take care of your affairs. I can handle it alone anyway."
Seeing this, Lin Zhendong quickly said, "No, honey, I'd better go with you. I'm not sure if you go alone, and I want to spend more time with you."
Mother Lin looked at Lin Zhendong in surprise and asked, "But didn't you say before that you didn't have time? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
Lin Zhendong scratched his head and explained with a smile: "Oh, my wife, those other things are not particularly urgent. It's okay to do them another day. You see, I am so worried about you going alone, so let me go with you."
"Okay, since you're fine, come with us. Just don't cause any trouble." Lin's mother looked at Lin Zhendong and said helplessly.
Hearing this, Lin Zhendong immediately showed an aggrieved expression and quickly explained: "How could that be, wife, how could you think of me like this? I am a gentleman and will never make trouble!"
However, Lin's mother obviously didn't believe him. She rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "It's not that I miss you so much, but you are just like that. You always make promises, but what's the result? You still get into trouble!"
Seeing that Lin's mother was not buying it, Lin Zhendong quickly raised his hands and swore, "Wife, I really swear this time that I will never make trouble! If I make trouble, let me be struck by lightning!"
Although he said this, Lin Zhendong was secretly thinking in his heart: How can I not make trouble? This time I must teach Zhou Shengchen a lesson, let him know that marrying my daughter is not that easy! I will find fault with him and make things difficult for him, otherwise I will not be named Lin!
"Remember this, you must restrain yourself in front of your in-laws, and never behave recklessly like before, otherwise it will be our precious daughter who will suffer after she marries them! I have told you everything clearly, Old Lin!" Lin's mother said to Lin Zhendong with a serious face.
"They dare? Who dares to bully my daughter, Lin Zhendong? If anyone dares to touch a hair of my daughter, I will beat them to death!" Lin Zhendong responded angrily.
"You, you, it's a good thing our daughter is not like you. If she had the same bad temper as you, who could stand it?" Mother Lin sighed helplessly.
"Wife, do you dislike me? Don't you love me anymore?" Lin Zhendong suddenly looked at his mother with a face full of grievance like a child.
Seeing this, Lin's mother raised her hand and gave Lin Zhendong a slap on the head, saying unhappily: "Can you be more normal? You are such a grown-up, and you are not ashamed. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone?"
"Who saw it?" Lin Zhendong muttered disapprovingly, then fixed his eyes on his three sons and the other people present. His eyes seemed to say, "Laugh if you can!"
However, everyone chose to turn a blind eye. Some looked up at the sky, some looked down at the ground, but no one dared to look Lin Zhendong in the eye.
