Chapter 18: Parables

Zhou Tieshan's face darkened: "Old woman, what are you doing? How can you say you are dying?"

The old lady coughed lightly and said, "This is not a metaphor. I am old and have one foot in the coffin."

Lu Xiangxiang found it a little funny. The old lady said that she was old, but she looked to be in her sixties. Judging from her energetic appearance, she could probably live for many more years.

The Lu family smiled awkwardly, and Lu Xiangxiang felt a little confused.

"Wow, it's the fairy sister from last night." A cheering voice was heard, and a gust of wind blew a girl to Lu Xiangxiang.

She stared at her with her big, sparkling eyes, without moving her eyeballs.

"Minmin, you can't be so rude." The old lady's voice sounded disapprovingly.

Zhou Minmin calmed down a bit. She walked to the old lady with a pout on her lips: "Grandma, but my sister is really beautiful. I want to make friends with her."

The old lady had no time to take care of her. She picked up the reading glasses beside her and put them on. She looked at Lu Xiangxiang, her eyes lit up, almost as bright as Zhou Minmin's.

"Who is this girl?" She looked at Lu Xiangxiang hesitantly.

"This is my daughter Lu Xiangxiang. You should call her Grandma Zhou." Lu Yuantao introduced the old lady to Lu Xiangxiang.

Lu Xiangxiang smiled at the old lady and said, "Hello, Grandma Zhou."

Grandma Zhou smiled even more kindly, "Okay, okay, good boy, I didn't expect that you actually have a daughter, Yuantao. Why haven't I heard you mention it before." There was a strong sense of regret in her tone, yes, regret.

Why didn't Lu Yuantao tell her earlier that he had a daughter? If he had told her earlier, it would have been great to give her to his eldest grandson. Thinking of this, she felt a little dissatisfied with the Lu family.

"This is the child of my late wife and me. He has been living in the countryside." He introduced Lu Xiangxiang concisely.

"Think about how old you are now? Do you have a partner? If not, grandma will introduce you to someone. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

The smile on Lu Xiangxiang's lips froze. Why are so many people so keen on finding a matchmaker these days?

The teacher wants to introduce her, and this old lady she just met also wants to introduce her, but she looks like no one cares about her?

"Don't scare the children." Zhou Tieshan couldn't help but remind the old lady as he saw her becoming more and more unruly.

"What's scary? Am I scary? What's there to worry about in terms of ethics and common sense regarding marriage and having children?" She looked at Zhou Tieshan with dissatisfaction.

The couple couldn't help but quarrel with each other, and while they were quarreling, people came down from upstairs one after another.

A tall figure appeared at the stairs. His tall figure attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Xiangxiang felt that the man in front of her was extremely familiar. She looked up and was surprised.

It turned out to be him.

It was the public security officer. I didn’t expect that he was the child of this family.

Today he was not wearing a police uniform, but his regular clothes.

He wore a pair of casual pants and a white shirt, which made him look very casual.

His height of over 1.8 meters, close to 1.9 meters, made the house seem smaller the moment he appeared. At this moment, he didn't think there would be anyone else downstairs.

His eyes swept over the Lu family, paused on her, and then shifted his gaze. "Uncle Lu," he greeted.

"Ziheng, you're here," Lu Yuantao greeted with a smile.

"I came here today to discuss something with you."

"What?"

"It's like this, our Zhiyao is still a little young, and we don't plan to let her get married so early in the next few years." Lu Yuantao said embarrassedly.

Hearing his words, Grandma Zhou's face fell. "Didn't we agree to get married this spring? Why do you want to stay for two years? If he stays any longer, my grandson will become an old man."

She had been looking forward to it day and night and finally her grandson agreed to get married. She wanted to press on with the victory, but the Lu family was holding her back. How could she be happy?

You know, the eldest grandson is already 25 years old. Isn’t the child of the same age here just for fun?

Grandma Zhou usually looks smiling, but she is very scary when she is angry. Even Zhou Tieshan can't bear to offend her.

The old man Zhou Ziheng was speechless. Is he very old?

Facing Grandma Zhou's accusations, Lu Yuantao was sweating profusely. He said, "Wait, Aunt Li, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Um?"

"Just because Yaoyao can't get married doesn't mean we can't." He looked at Lu Xiangxiang, who was standing aside and didn't care about the matter, and said it.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, especially Lu Xiangxiang, whose eyes widened in shock.

Wha…what?

What does it mean that she can get married?

Good guy, she exclaimed. Good guy.

He looked at Zhou Ziheng beside him, and he was also looking at him in surprise.

The moment their eyes met, an inexplicable feeling came over them, so dangerous.

Lu Xiangxiang withdrew his gaze and suppressed his complicated thoughts.

"What are you talking about? How can you change your fiancée midway?"

"That's right. We in the Zhou family are not the kind of people who don't keep our promises. We can wait for only two years. Is it okay to change the fiancé from the younger sister to the older sister?"

"How are we going to explain this to the people in the compound?"

The old couple of the Zhou family were a little angry and felt that they had been fooled.

Lu Yuantao originally thought this was a good proposal, but he didn't expect the Zhou family to be so angry.

Seeing how angry they were, he wasn't sure whether to continue.

Lu Zhiyao saw her father hesitating and knew that if the Zhou family didn't give in, she would still marry into the family.

The Zhou family was a hell of a place for her, so she stood up and said, "Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, I'll tell you the truth. I've already fallen in love in college. Arranged marriages are a feudal marriage system. There's often a lack of affection between the parties involved in a marriage. We two won't be happy."

"What did you say? Shut up." Lu Yuantao didn't want to offend his superiors, but his daughter's words completely offended them.

"Dad, I'm telling the truth. Brother Zhou and I are not suitable for each other."

"Grandma, our family doesn't want to marry this fickle woman. I saw her being affectionate with a man last night, and you came to cancel the engagement today. You are cheating on my elder brother." Zhou Minmin was very angry and dissatisfied, and jumped out to expose Lu Zhiyao's true face.

After hearing her words, the Zhou family was already very angry because they asked for a break-off of the engagement, but they didn't expect that this woman would also cuckold their eldest grandson.

How could the Zhou family not be angry? They were almost mad to death.

"In this case, our Zhou family is marrying above their station. Okay, your engagement is hereby annulled. Our Zhou family has no time to entertain you. Aunt Feng, please show us out." He shouted.

Aunt Feng came out of the kitchen and made a gesture of invitation to the people from the Lu family.

Lu Yuantao was embarrassed and his face turned pale. He never expected that something that could have been solved well would turn out like this.
