The Lu family arrived at 9:30. Lu Nanzheng came with them. He did not bring Lu Qiuju and her sister with him. He came alone with the two elders.

After exchanging pleasantries with the Han family, Lu Nanzheng came over and asked, "Linglong, I just went to the hospital and learned that my mother-in-law has been discharged. Is she feeling better now?"

"I'm feeling better now. The doctor said I can get out of bed and walk around after three to five days of rest at home."

Lu Nanzheng did not go into the house to visit, but asked her to deliver the gifts he brought to the house.

Gong Linglong put the things in her mother's room and talked to her for a few words. When she came out, she saw Lu Jingchuan and his two sons standing in the front yard talking. She didn't go over to disturb them, but sat back on the sofa to chat with the Han family's aunts.

Today's engagement process was very simple. The elders on both sides were not people who cared much about traditional rules. They simply said a few words of advice and blessings, presented their gifts, and that was it.

Han Ji, the master and adoptive father, was even more direct. He threw Jiang Yun a passbook with 2,000 yuan and a stack of bills, and said only one sentence throughout the whole process: "Use it to buy a dowry."

The two elders of the Han family and the families of the other three sons all added to their dowries. The two senior brothers Ji Wei and Lu Jingchuan also said that by the end of the engagement ceremony, the box in Jiang Yun's hand was full of money.

Later they also discussed the wedding date, because the second half of this year will be particularly busy. Not only the newlyweds are busy with work, but the elders are also too busy to spare any time, so they finally decided to hold the wedding in the spring season next year.

The lunch was prepared by the Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Before the meal started, Mrs. Han called out, "Fourth brother, come here."

Han Ji got up and went to the kitchen, and soon brought two bowls of rice and soup back into the house to feed his son.

Gong Wantang had taken some western medicine before and was feeling a little sleepy. After just two hours of sleep, she woke up and saw that it was time for lunch. She said, "Han Ji, I can eat by myself. You go and accompany the guests."

"I'll be in charge of feeding you until you get out of bed."

Han Ji felt that the advice his apprentice gave him last night was very effective, and he planned to continue his "domineering" behavior.

Gong Wantang looked helpless. She was about to go to the bathroom, so she patted his arm and said, "Please call Linglong and my mother-in-law over for me."

"What are you calling them for?" Han Ji asked her.

"Don't ask, just call them over for me." Gong Wantang was helpless and embarrassed.

She was not one to hide her emotions, and the embarrassment on her face was caught by Han Ji. He guessed it instantly, "You want to go to the bathroom, right?"

Gong Wantang: "...Yeah, call them over to help me."

"No need to call them, I'll carry you to the bathroom."

Han Ji lifted the thin blanket covering the person, picked him up with ease and skill, and strode to the toilet in the back.

As for the people in the living room, he ignored them all.

Except for Mr. Lu, everyone else knew what Han Ji was thinking. Seeing him carrying Gong Wantang to the backyard toilet, Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows slightly and said to the old man next to him: "Old Han, what's going on with Ah Ji..."

"I'm almost a great-grandfather, and it's time for him to get married and start a family."

Old Master Han used to be worried about his personal affairs, but later he found out that he had Gong Wantang in his heart. Ever since they knew what he was thinking, the two elders stopped urging him to get married.

Mr. Lu understood and smiled: "You are finally going to put an end to your worries."

After lunch at Han's house, Gong Linglong left her mother in the care of Uncle Han, and the four young people accompanied their mother-in-law out shopping and playing.

Zhou Lanqin is usually very busy at work and has no time to go out for a stroll all year round. Today, she was very happy to accompany her son and daughter-in-law shopping. She bought a lot along the way. As long as her two daughters-in-law looked at something for a second, she would quickly pay for it.

Lu Jingchuan and his brother rarely accompanied them shopping. The three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, kept shopping, and they just followed behind to carry the bags.

They shopped until three or four in the afternoon, then drove home and started preparing dinner together.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

When there was a knock on the door, Zhou Lanqin put down the vegetables in her hand and got up to open the door.

The person who came was Lu Nanzheng. As soon as he entered the room, he said, "I just received news that Zheng Furen and his two grandsons were rescued and fled Kyoto by helicopter. The helicopter suddenly exploded when it was flying to the western suburbs of the mountainous area, destroying the aircraft and killing everyone on board."

"Even at this time, there are still people who risk their lives to save him. His people are really loyal." Zhou Lanqin sighed.

When Gong Linglong heard the news, she looked at Lu Jingchuan, pretended not to care about it, and turned around to make tea for her elders.

The Han family also received the news at this time. Gong Chengjun and his sister paid their respects in the direction of the ancestral grave, and then made a phone call to the south and asked someone to send the good news back to Gangcheng.

There was continuous good news today. When the two elders of the Lu family came over in the evening, they also brought the news of the final outcome of the Xue family.

Just after Xue Haihui's funeral was settled, Yao Meiting was dismissed from her job and taken away on multiple charges.

Peng Yuni was also taken away. In the previous incident in Seoul, her assistant took the blame, and her family helped to mediate and arrange things, so she managed to escape. However, during this re-examination, the assistant who took the blame turned against her, so she was naturally taken away and imprisoned.

Everything happened just as Gong Chengjun had expected. The two of them were sent to jail. Xue Weimin was the only one left in the Xue family who could take charge. He was also quite alert and had left Kyoto with his younger siblings in advance.

When Xue Weimin left, he was still thinking that he would come back one day in the future, but since then, he has never set foot on the land of Kyoto again.

The two elders of the Zhou family were the last to arrive. Grandpa Zhou went to deal with the Zheng family's affairs in the afternoon and came back a little late. When they came, the meal was already ready.

The meal tonight was very sumptuous, with the table full of delicious dishes. Lu Jingchuan took out a bottle of wine, and the two brothers drank a glass with their elders.

"Linglong, Grandpa heard that you went to high school. Did you graduate last year?"

At the dinner table, Mr. Zhou asked about this.

"Yes, I graduated last year."

Grandpa suddenly mentioned this matter. Gong Linglong had some guesses in her mind and said with a smile: "Grandpa, is there any good news?"

"She's a smart girl."

Old Master Zhou smiled kindly, took a sip from his wine glass, and said, "Go back and study hard. The Lu and Zhou families are both uneducated and rough. If you ask them to go to the battlefield, they will all be good fighters. If you ask them to study and take exams, they will all be at the bottom. We are looking forward to you winning glory."

Gong Linglong winked playfully and said confidently, "Grandpa, just wait. I promise to get you an admission letter from a prestigious school and let you show it off."

"Hehe..." Zhou Lanqin smiled and patted her arm.

The four elders were also laughing. Grandpa Lu was very cheerful and said to his grandson, "Jingchuan, you were a decent student back then, not the last one. You should take some time to pick up your books during this period and let Linglong and your mother-in-law help you with your studies. Grandpa doesn't expect you to get into the best university, just getting into the top one is enough. A university degree will be of great help to your future career."

"Grandpa, I've already started reviewing and will spend more time on it later."

My grandparents didn't tell me the exact news, which means it hasn't been finalized yet. It will probably take some time, and they still have plenty of time to prepare for the review.
