"The marriage application has been approved. The teacher personally handled the procedures and sent it to me. You don't need to worry about anything."

"Now, Haohao only needs to think about one question: when do you want to get your marriage certificate?"

Sheng Yi always wore a warm smile, and his tone of voice remained unhurried yet reassuring.

Hearing him say that, Zhu Qinghao finally put her worries aside and began to seriously consider the problem.

"How about we have dinner together at the cowshed tonight? Grandpa Sheng can come too. We can tell our families about our decision and hear their opinions, what do you think?"

This kind of thing definitely needs to be known to both families, so Sheng Yi had no objections and readily agreed.

This time, because we were honest about the space issue, everything seemed much simpler, especially when it came to ingredients.

Zhu Qinghao's job was simply to bring out whatever she wanted to eat; the cooking and covering for her would naturally be taken care of by others.

In the evening, the two families gathered together again in high spirits.

It's unclear whether it's because family members share a common understanding, but even before the couple announced their decision to get married, their families seemed to have already guessed it.

Before the person in charge had even spoken, all eyes on the table were fixed on them expectantly, as if waiting for them to reveal the surprise.

Zhu Qinghao and Sheng Yi exchanged glances, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes, and confirming that neither of them had told anyone beforehand.

Zhu Qinghao couldn't help but give Sheng Yi a wink.

Upon receiving this look, the other party didn't hesitate and directly asked the question that Zhu Qinghao most wanted to ask.

"Grandpa Zhu, old man, why are you staring at us like that? Is there something you want to say?"

Old Master Sheng smiled mysteriously, took a sip of his wine, and then leisurely said:

"What could a few old folks like us possibly have to say? It's clearly you who have something to say, so hurry up and say it, everyone's waiting!"

After saying that, ignoring the dumbfounded Sheng Yi, Old Master Sheng turned his gaze directly to Zhu Qinghao.

"Granddaughter-in-law, you tell me, this brat is hiding things all day long, it's driving us old folks crazy!"

Well, this nickname immediately exposed the deception.

It seems everyone in this group knew they were getting married and was just waiting for this dinner party so they could announce it to the public themselves.

Now that things have come to this point, there's no need to keep anyone in suspense any longer, so Zhu Qinghao immediately smiled and agreed.

"Grandpa Sheng, Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom, Aunt and Uncle, Sister-in-law, Sheng Yi and I are getting married!"

After she finished speaking, she made a point of observing the whole family. They all had an expression of "I knew it," but everyone's face showed genuine excitement and joy.

"Good, good, good! This old man has finally waited for this day!"

"Huaichuan, I've been waiting for this feast for over ten years, and we've finally gotten to drink together! Today, we two brothers are going to have a good drink and celebrate properly for these two younger brothers!"

Zhu Huaichuan was overjoyed and immediately agreed:

"Alright! Today, we two old folks will drink our fill!"

In the past, others would have stepped forward to stop them, but today no one did, because they were all happy.

Their daughter, Hao Hao, has suffered so much and endured so much hardship that she shouldn't have had to bear. Finally, she's going to be happy!
