Chapter 319: Proposing Marriage

The leader was none other than the spirited old man of the Fu family, Fu Zheng!

Following behind him were Fu Jinzhou's parents, Fu Zhenshan and Shen Shu, both with decent smiles on their faces.

Behind them are Fu Jinning, and... Zhang Qiang's parents?

They actually came along too!

Everyone was holding gift boxes of varying sizes, beautifully packaged and clearly carefully prepared.

The Su family courtyard, which was originally quite spacious, was instantly filled with this scene and seemed a bit crowded.

The atmosphere suddenly changed from the warmth just now to a slightly tense solemnity.

Old Master Fu Zheng glanced around with a sharp gaze.

"Aijun, you're really fast. You got here before us."

Lin Aijun smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, since you're here to propose marriage, as your parents, we certainly can't be later than you."

"Good boy, you're early, making my old bones late."

Lin Aijun and Fu Zhengzheng were exchanging greetings when a scolding sounded behind them.

Everyone looked over and found that it was the old man of the Lin family, Lin Dongsheng.

"Hey, you old man, what are you doing here?"

When Fu Zheng saw the person coming, his old eyes lit up.

"You're proposing marriage to your stinky boy, and I'm not here. How can that be right?"

"Dad, how did you know?"

Lin Aijun was originally worried about the old man's health and worried that he would not be able to accept it, but he did not expect that the old man would come along on his own.

"From you, I guess I'll have to wait a while longer. You and I are unreliable. Fortunately, I have your Uncle Fu."

Fu Zheng nodded as if watching a joke, "Old people don't bully old people."

After saying this, there was a burst of laughter in the yard.

Su Li held Fu Jinzhou's hand tightly. It was her first time meeting her grandfather and she felt a little awkward.

Mr. Lin was now looking at her with a loving look in his eyes.

He walked over with a cane and stood in front of Su Li.

"Girl, I'm sorry you've been wronged. Grandpa didn't even know about it for all these years."

After the old man finished speaking, he took Su Li's hand tremblingly, with tears in his eyes.

"I'm doing well. My parents and brother love me very much."

Su Li didn't know what to say, and after struggling for a while, she finally uttered this sentence.

Fu Jinzhou held her hand, slowly applying force. After all, she was his relative, but since it was their first time meeting, he knew she was a little nervous.

"Good boy!"

Old Master Lin took Su Li's other hand and patted it gently, "Our Lin family owes you."

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Su Danian.

He strode forward and shook Su Danian's hand tightly, with sincere guilt and emotion on his face.

"Thank you!" Fu Zheng's voice was loud and sincere, with a hint of sob. "Thank you for raising the child so well. You are a great benefactor to our Lin family."

Su Danian was somewhat bewildered and said quickly, "Uncle, you are too kind. Please sit down, please sit down!"

Lin Dongsheng pulled him to sit down. "It's not an exaggeration at all. Up to Xiaoli's generation, she's the only one in our Lin family. You raised her up and made her so outstanding. You saved our Lin family."

Fu Zheng smiled and sat down on the other side of Su Danian. "He is also our Fu family's benefactor."

Mr. Lin glared at him and said, "What does it have to do with you if you keep pushing forward with everything?"

"Hey, how can it not be related? Xiaoli saved Jinzhou and is Jinzhou's savior. The benefactor of this benefactor is also our family's benefactor."

Mr. Fu's words caused a burst of laughter. The two old men sandwiched Su Danian on the left and right, trying to be his benefactor, which made Su Danian quite nervous.

Fu Jinzhou noticed his discomfort and smiled to help him out, "Grandpa, you haven't told me the reason you came here yet."

Fu Zheng glanced at him and said, "Look how anxious you are."

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Old Fu, if you are not sincere enough today, we will not agree to it."

The old man patted Su Danian's hand and said, "Xiaoli's father, you are right, right?"

Su Danian chuckled and said, "Uncle, if the child is willing, I have no objection."

"Old Lin, please stop causing trouble. This girl Li is already a member of our Fu family. If you want to fan the flames, it will be difficult."

Su Mingde stood beside Liu Guilan and whispered, "Mom, look how nervous my dad is. When has he ever met such a high-ranking leader? Even meeting their factory director made him nervous."

Liu Guilan slapped him and said, "You're still making fun of your father at this hour."

Fu Zheng stood up and said solemnly, "Today, I, an old man, have come here in person, accompanied by my son and daughter-in-law!"

He paused and turned his gaze to Su Li who was standing next to Fu Jinzhou, his eyes full of apology.

"First, I sincerely apologize to Su Li-chan for my past mistakes!"

"Secondly, and most importantly," Fu Zheng took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm here to formally propose marriage to Su Li-chan on behalf of my unruly grandson, Fu Jinzhou!"

After the voice fell, the courtyard was silent for a moment.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled spots of light, illuminating the complex and subtle expressions on everyone's face.

Propose marriage, apologize, acknowledge relatives...

At this moment, all emotions and events converge in this small farmyard.

Every word struck hard on the hearts of those present.

Su Danian's hands trembled slightly with excitement, his eyes were red, and he looked at Lin Dongsheng beside him.

Lin Dongsheng shook his hand back with a steady strength, as if conveying silent support.

Fu Zheng turned slightly and waved behind him.

Fu Zhenshan and Shen Shu immediately understood, stepped forward, and presented several exquisite mahogany boxes in their hands.

Afterwards, Fu Jinning and Zhang Qiang's parents also came forward one by one and placed the gifts they brought on the stone table in the yard.

Covered with red silk and stacked with brocade boxes, it looks extremely noble.

The rich luster emitted by those mahogany boxes alone is enough to show their great value.

"This..." Su Danian was a little at a loss. He had never seen such a scene in his life.

Lin Dongsheng stood up at this time. Instead of looking at the betrothal gifts, he took Su Danian's arm.

His movements were extremely solemn, as if he was performing some important ceremony.

"Xiao Li's father." Lin Dongsheng's voice was a little hoarse, but very clear. "The Fu family's betrothal gift is for Xiao Li."

"But this gift, this respect, only you are qualified to accept it on Xiaoli's behalf!"

Lin Dongsheng looked at Su Danian with a burning gaze, and said word by word, "You are the one who raised Xiaoli, cared for her, and taught her kindness!"

"This kindness is greater than heaven!"

"Our Lin family owes you! This kid from the Fu family wants to marry our Lin family's daughter. This gesture of affection should be accepted by you!"

Su Danian's eyes were completely red, his lips were trembling, he wanted to say something, but he was choked with sobs.

He was not a person who coveted wealth, but Mr. Lin's words and recognition comforted and moved him more than any gold, silver or treasure.
