"……well!"

Old Man Li sighed heavily, and after a long while, he finally let Chi Dashan get up.

Seeing his daughter's relieved expression, his heart softened.

Let bygones be bygones.

So many people have already been involved, we can't let our daughter be unhappy too, can we?

He only has one son and one daughter.

My daughter has married someone else; I can't hold her back.

"Let bygones be bygones. Our two families are still the closest of in-laws... To be honest, if Li Mingrong hadn't been so useless, how could they have schemed against him?"

Ultimately, isn't the problem with Li Mingrong himself?

That's what they say, but how can someone in the situation not take their anger out on others or complain?

Old Man Li couldn't either.

He simply swallowed his complaints!

For her daughter, for her children.

To be honest...

The Chi family is clearly aiming for higher positions; the Li family will likely never be able to reach them in the future.

But as long as his daughter has a place in the Chi family, and as long as the Chi family remembers the kindness he showed today by not holding a grudge!

If his children and grandchildren ever encounter any difficulties in the future, the Chi family will be able to lend a hand!

My dear wife, do you understand?

It's not that I don't want to stand up for you, it's just... the living are more important!

"Thank you, my dear in-laws..."

Old Man Chi held Old Man Li's hand, overwhelmed with emotion.

Even though he has settled in Pinghe Town, in Mr. Chi's heart, his roots are still in his hometown.

And here I am, my only relatives and friends are the Li family!

"We're family, so let's not speak like strangers!"

"Little sister, you've had a tough time these past two days, sigh!"

"Sister-in-law, eat more and nourish yourself."

...

After the banquet ended, Sister-in-law Chi pulled Chi Tang to stand in the courtyard.

A gentle evening breeze.

The moon hangs high in the sky.

"Sister-in-law, when will it get light?" Chi Tang asked in a childish voice.

Sister-in-law Chi: "In a few hours."

"Oh, the night has passed so quickly?"

Sister-in-law Chi's heart stirred. She gratefully pinched her sister-in-law's cheek and said with a smile, "Even in the darkest night, the moon hangs high, and there is still light."

She understood what her sister-in-law meant.

She won't be sad forever.

Life must go on.

——

After observing the seven-day mourning period for Granny Li, the Chi family returned home.

The matter in the capital has been resolved.

However, before returning to Pinghe Town, the Chi family made a trip to the capital.

Firstly, to check on how Huo Chenyi was doing at home, and secondly, to send money to Young Master Meng.

Chi Jia arranged to meet Meng Kuo at a restaurant.

"Auntie, aren't you being too formal? Why don't you come to our house?"

The family in question is naturally the Meng family.

Given the relationship between the two families, it was only natural for the Chi family to go directly to the Meng family after arriving in the capital.

Old Man Chi shook his head and said, "It's a joyous occasion for your family, but it's not very convenient for us here. We're afraid of offending you."

Although Old Man Chi didn't explain it very clearly, Meng Kuo understood it.

Meng Kuo naturally knew about the Li family's affairs.

"Uncle, you're being too polite. We don't mind at all," Meng Kuo said with a grin, snatching the brown sugar glutinous rice cake that Chi Tang was about to put in her mouth.

He finished eating with a smug look on his face and even made a face at Chi Tang.

Chi Tang remained silent.

It's not like there's only one brown sugar glutinous rice cake!

"It's your business if you don't mind, but it's our responsibility to be mindful."

Aunt Chi knew perfectly well what was going on.

If Kuo'er says he doesn't mind, then he definitely doesn't mind.

Young Master Meng wouldn't mind, given his character.

But what about parents?

Why should my son take this risk after all the hard work of getting married?

What if there's even the slightest mishap?

"Auntie..."

“Kuo’er, we understand your intentions. But as you said, the relationship between our two families is what it is, and we shouldn’t focus on this matter.”

We're here mainly to deliver a red envelope to your second brother, because... so you should pass it on to him.

I was originally planning to prepare a congratulatory gift.

But considering they just attended a funeral, what if they cause trouble?

Let's just give them the money directly.

Meng Kuo didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the red envelope, pinching it; it was very thin.

It should be a silver note.

Given Aunt Chi's character, she'll probably get her share.

"Oh, I'm so envious of my second brother. When can I get married? That way I can make a lot of money too."

Meng Kuo rested his chin on his hand, seemingly quite envious.

"Oh dear, Kuo'er, what are you saying! You'll understand when you grow up what it's like to get married! Or... Ouch! Ouch! Let go! The children are watching!"

Old Man Chi's ear was suddenly twisted, and he immediately started yelling.

Aunt Chi sneered, "What, did marrying me make you feel bad? Huh?"

Old Man Chi begged for forgiveness and admitted defeat: "I was just saying that in the heat of the moment, you know? Why did you take it seriously?"

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay? Stop pinching me, grandma!"

After a while, Old Man Chi, clutching his ear which had been twisted bright red, sat in the corner, looking aggrieved, still muttering something to himself.

It makes people want to laugh.

"Sister-in-law, have you heard my future second sister-in-law's nickname? She's always wanted a daughter, right? How about I let her come?"

Meng Kuo suddenly looked at Sister-in-law Chi and said with a wicked smile.
