“Everything at work has been arranged, so we don’t need to worry about it. I estimate that Zhengting and Qingyan’s marriage application should be approved by now. Once he gets the application, he will come back to get their marriage certificate with Qingyan. Let’s just wait for him to come back.”

Old Mrs. Lu sneered inwardly.

Has the report been approved?

marry?

It's probably not that easy.

This further reminded her that she needed to take new action as soon as possible. While Xiao Ding was still able to help her suppress Lu Zhengting's marriage report, she had to make Lin Qingyan withdraw voluntarily.

If in a couple more days, Xiao Ding can't hold on any longer and the military leaders approve Lu Zhengting's marriage application, all her previous efforts will be in vain.

No, she needs to go see Lin Qingyan again tonight.

In the evening, Lin Qingyan returned home and saw Lin Zhiheng, noticing that the little guy still looked worried.

She walked up to Lin Zhiheng and advised, "Xiaoheng, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu came today. Uncle Lu told me that what Old Madam Lu said about the feud between the Lu and Yi families is completely unfounded."

"It was all a pretext that Old Madam Lu made up to break Zheng Ting and me up. As for her little conflict with Old Madam Yi, that was her own doing. The two families didn't have any real enmity over it, and it won't affect Zheng Ting and me at all, so don't feel guilty or worry."

"real!"

Lin Zhiheng's mood improved considerably upon hearing this news.

"That's great, sister! So you can marry Brother Lu smoothly."

"Yes."

She remembered what Lu Zhengting said when he left: he would immediately submit a marriage report to his superiors once he arrived at the military region.

Several days have passed, and there's still no news. I don't know if the marriage application has been approved.

Military personnel need to undergo political vetting by their unit leaders before they can get married, and both parties must have no problems with their political backgrounds.

Her household registration book only lists him and Lin Zhiheng. Lin Zhiheng's original family members are nowhere to be found, so there are no issues with his family background.

Based on their current kinship, there shouldn't be any problem for her marriage application with Lu Zhengting to pass the political review.

But then she suddenly thought of Lin Heping. Lin Heping was in jail now, and they had severed ties. She wondered if Lin Heping would still affect her.

After calming Lin Zhiheng down, she was about to go back to her room when she heard someone knocking on the front door.

Before she could even leave Lin Zhiheng's room, she heard Grandma Lin's reply again.

Who is it?

Then she heard footsteps; it must have been Grandma Lin going out to open the door.

Then came a voice from outside the gate: "Auntie, is Qingyan asleep?"

Lin Qingyan recognized the voice as that of Lu's mother. Then she saw Lu's mother and Lin's grandmother walk in together, followed by Lu's father.

"Qingyan".

"Aunt."

"Sigh." Mrs. Lu frowned and sighed, "I had already started calling her 'Mom,' but now I've gone back to it."

Mr. Lu looked at her with envy: "At least you've already been called."

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, it doesn't matter how you address me now. I'll change it after Zhengting and I get married. Please come inside."

"good."

Once inside, Mr. and Mrs. Lu said many comforting words to Lin Qingyan.

"Qingyan, we both support you and Zhengting. Please don't take his grandmother and Mengya's words to heart. I think Zhengting's marriage application should be approved soon. We'll wait for him to come back here."

As they were talking, there was another knock on the door.

Grandma Lin went to open the door as usual, but this time, her angry roar could be heard.

"What are you doing here again? What are you always doing at my house? Get out, get out, you're not welcome here. Ugh, disgusting."

“This is not your home. You were picked up along the way. You are a homeless old woman. Someone took you in, and you act like you’re the owner.”

“I live in this house, so I’m the owner. So what? The three of us are all owners of this house. We not only don’t welcome you, we hate you. I advise you to leave now, or I’ll force you to unleash my dogs.”

Grandma Lu subconsciously looked around the yard. "Where's the dog? I can't see it."

Grandma Lin hadn't dealt with dogs for a long time, and when the topic of dogs came up, an image of a dog suddenly flashed into her mind, as if that dog was right in front of her. She opened her mouth and bit Grandma Lu's arm.

"You're a dog, and I specialize in biting dogs."
