After seeing the person enter the house, Song Mingyuan looked at Zhou Boyue and said, "Uncle, you can continue to ask if you have any questions."

Zhou Boyue found the young man in front of him somewhat interesting; he came from a good family and was good-looking. The only downside was that he was an only child.

Do your parents know that your partner lives so far away?

"I know." Song Mingyuan replied respectfully; he had never been so nervous before. If his father hadn't repeatedly told him not to panic, he might be incredibly nervous right now.

Zhou Boyue saw the two large suitcases on the ground: "Are you planning to stay for a few days, or for a long time?"

"I'll stay until you agree to our terms." Song Mingyuan spoke the truth; that was exactly what he was thinking. As long as they weren't kicked out, there was hope.

"Haha!" Zhou Boyue laughed. This was the first time he had laughed in half a month. The kid in front of him had some guts.

"There's only one month left until Chinese New Year. Aren't you going home for the holiday?"

"Yes, I've already talked to my parents. I'll be spending Chinese New Year at your house this year. I've brought all the clothes I need to wear. Uncle, you can't kick me out." Song Mingyuan took advantage of the offer, realizing that Zhou Meiling's father didn't dislike him too much.

"Do your parents really agree? Have they met Meiling?" Zhou Boyue was full of questions.

"I've met them, and they agreed to let me be with Meiling."

"Oh? But you only have one child. Where will you live after you get married?"

"I've discussed this issue with my parents, and they'll follow me wherever I want to go."

Uncle, don't worry, they won't be living with us, and there will absolutely be no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems.

"Can you guarantee that?" Zhou Boyue was tempted; the other family was well-off. His daughter should marry someone with good conditions so she wouldn't have to suffer for the rest of her life.

His first impression of Sun Jie was that he was a simple and honest person, but his family was very poor. He felt sorry for his daughter at the time; if she married into such a family, it would take at least ten years to live a good life.

"I can assure you, Uncle. If you're still worried, I'll have my parents come over and talk to you in person when the weather gets a bit warmer."

"Okay, I'll talk to your family about it later."

"Does this mean you've agreed to let me date Meiling?"

"Mm," Zhou Boyue replied.

Song Mingyuan stood up excitedly and then sat down again, never expecting things to go so smoothly.

Zhou Boyue agreed to let the two be together because of what had happened recently. The Sun family had caused trouble and ruined his daughter's reputation.

Of course, he didn't hold back either. When they came to cause trouble again, he notified the police station to arrest them. I heard they were sentenced to half a month of detention and fined 50 yuan.

The Sun family was dirt poor, and this sum of money was no small amount for them. There's always a reason why someone is pitiful; I have absolutely no sympathy for the Sun family's plight.

Zhou Meiling was heartbroken to see her mother had become even thinner and paler than before.

When Lan Yun saw her daughter return, she mustered her strength to sit up and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I would have had your dad pick you up at the train station."

“I’m not a child anymore, I don’t need to be helped.” Zhou Meiling picked up a pillow from the side and placed it behind her mother so that she could lean against it and be more comfortable.

"Mom, such a big thing happened at home, why didn't you tell me?"
