After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 553 I’m not the kind of person who would put myself in a difficult position!

After hearing what Zhou's father said, Old Mrs. Ye was immediately delighted.

The Zhou family's willingness to participate in the house purchase issue proves that they have actually approved of the marriage between Ye Laosi and Miss Zhou.

It seems that as long as the house is bought, my family can come and propose marriage.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Ye happily decided, "Then I'll listen to my father-in-law. That's it!

"Don't worry, after we buy the house, we'll find someone to renovate it, and it will definitely be good."

When Zhou's father heard Old Lady Ye directly call him father-in-law, he was stunned at first.

But when he thought about how his daughter's heart had long been with Ye Laosi, and now that he had even gritted his teeth and bought a house, he really had nothing to complain about.

So Father Zhou agreed without saying anything, and even took the initiative to say, "It's already this late, why don't we go have lunch together?

"It's a good opportunity to have a good chat about the two children."

Old Mrs. Ye wanted to refuse at first, but when she heard the latter part, she immediately nodded and agreed.

"Why don't we just go home and eat?" suggested Mrs. Ye.

Father Zhou said, "You were the ones who hosted us last time, so it's my family's turn this time.

"Let's go directly to Qionghualou. Although the cooking skills there may not be as good as Mrs. Ye's, it is still considered a place with better food in the capital.

"It's just that we're going there on short notice, so there might not be any private rooms available in Qionghua Tower."

After Zhou's father finished speaking, he told his son, "Go and have a look first. If there are any private rooms available, book one immediately. Order the food and wait for us to come over."

Qingtian whispered to Boss Ye, who was holding her, "Dad, are we going to eat at Grandpa Dong's restaurant again? Grandpa Dong's Sanbuzhan is so delicious."

"Yes, but Mr. Dong is usually not in the store."

"Oh." Qingtian couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he heard that.

Father Zhou heard this and asked, "Do you also know Mr. Dong from Qionghua Tower?"

Boss Ye said hurriedly: "Chef Dong and my wife's grandfather are brothers in the same school and have a good relationship, so we have some connections."

The Zhou family couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the Ye family's network of contacts was really wider than they could have imagined!

The group went straight to Qionghua Tower. The waiter recognized the Ye family at a glance and without saying anything, he invited them to the private room on the second floor.

“Actually, all the private rooms on the second floor are full today, and this one is the one our old man reserved for himself.

"But since it's Ye Jia Dalang who's here, there's definitely no problem giving it to you."

After expressing their thanks, everyone went into the house and sat down, and the waiter quickly brought up tea.

Father Zhou ordered the dishes from the menu.

The waiter wrote down the order one by one, then said apologetically, "There are a lot of customers at noon today, so the food may be a little slow to serve. I hope you don't mind."

After the waiter left, Old Mrs. Ye brought up the marriage of her two children.

"Here's what I'm thinking. If you two have no objections, how about we schedule the wedding of our two children for the beginning of next spring?

"As for the specific date, we'll find someone to calculate it when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's father calculated in his mind that there were still about seven months from now to the beginning of next spring.

Although the time is not very abundant, it is not too rushed from the exchange of engagement letters to the engagement ceremony.

Considering Ye Lao Si’s age, it is understandable that the Ye family is anxious.

The Ye family must have considered it for their own benefit by setting the wedding date at the beginning of next spring instead of the end of this year.

At least my daughter can still spend another New Year at home, and by next year she will be someone else's daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Zhou's father felt a little sad, but he still nodded in agreement.

"If everything goes well, we can get married in the spring of next year.

"As for the betrothal gifts, my family doesn't have too many requirements. Just follow the customs of the capital.

"My family doesn't have any extra requirements in this regard. As long as our two children live a good life after marriage, that's more important than anything else."

Although Old Lady Ye didn't know what the customs in the capital were, she couldn't ask the Zhou family about this.

So she agreed without hesitation and planned to ask Shao to find someone to help her after she returned.

Both families wanted to make this marriage happen, so the conversation went very smoothly and they soon decided on the date for exchanging engagement letters.

As long as there are no problems with the horoscopes, the marriage is settled.

After dinner, the two families went home.

Brother Zhou sent his parents home and went straight to the store to work.

When Miss Zhou heard that her parents had returned, she hurried over to ask.

"Dad, Mom, how's it going? Have you found a house?"

Father Zhou looked at his daughter and couldn't help but sigh to his wife, "Look, this is really the saying that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up!"

Miss Zhou's face flushed with anger after hearing what her father said, but she still looked at Mother Zhou pitifully, wanting an answer.

After all, they are my own parents, and there are no outsiders here. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"The Ye family has already picked out a house. Your father and I have looked at it. It's quite good. Once they buy it, we can exchange engagement cards!"

Father Zhou added: "Don't worry, your mother and I can't keep you for much longer."

"Mom, look at my dad!" Miss Zhou immediately went to her mother and said coquettishly, "That's not what I meant!"

Mother Zhou stroked her daughter's hair and said, "After these two encounters, the Ye family is indeed as you said, a very down-to-earth family.

“I thought they were just an ordinary farmer’s family before, but now it seems that they are not so ordinary.

"Not only do my family members have some skills, but they also have some connections in the capital.

"But even if you look at these things before marriage, they might not be particularly accurate..."

Before Mother Zhou finished her words, Miss Zhou wanted to speak for the Ye family.

"Mother, the Ye family..."

But Zhou's mother interrupted her directly and said, "I didn't mean to say anything bad about the Ye family.

"But there's still a lot of time to go, and people change.

"Mom just wants to say, if his family treats you badly or you're unhappy, don't forget you still have Mom, Dad, and Brother. We're all there for you."

Miss Zhou's eyes instantly turned red after hearing her mother's words, and tears were welling up in her eyes, about to fall.

Seeing this, Zhou's father quickly said, "Okay, your daughter hasn't even gotten married yet, you should wait a little longer!

"But then again, your mother is right.

"As Zhou Weidong's daughter, there's no need to put yourself in a difficult position.

"Dad works hard to make so much money, isn't it just so that your brother and you can live a good life.

"Even if you don't get married, your parents can ensure that you live a worry-free life."

Miss Zhou, who had been trying hard to hold back her tears just now, could no longer hold them back this time and they fell directly.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would put myself in a difficult position!"
