Upon hearing this, Zhong Cuilan immediately replied, "Of course I can't take care of my family if I have a job. You just need to live your lives well. If you have children in the future, I can come and help you take care of them, as long as you don't mind."
Zhou An'an thought her future mother-in-law was very understanding. She looked up at her father-in-law sitting opposite her, who also had a smile on his face.
"You don't object to my work?"
Zhong Cuilan waved her hand, "How could I possibly object to your work? You're not going to give up a good job. You have things you like to do, and my son has things he likes to do too."
I respect your choices. As long as you live your lives well, that's all that matters. Please don't argue over trivial matters.
Zhou An'an immediately felt incredibly relieved. She could tell the old man was honest and didn't seem to be lying.
"We will definitely make our lives better."
Zhong Cuilan said, "Since that's the case, when should our parents meet? What are your family's requirements regarding the bride price? You can tell us now—"
Zhou An'an said, "I am an only child. I have never asked my parents about the bride price. But my idea is that I don't want your money."
Upon hearing this, the two elderly people felt a tremor in their hearts.
Their main concern along the way was that the bride price would be too high, and they were afraid they wouldn't be able to afford it, which would jeopardize their son's happiness.
Zhong Cuilan said, "How can this be? We can't get married without contributing a single penny."
Zhou An'an said, "We both have jobs, so we can save money for a while before getting married."
Zhong Cuilan looked at her son, "Is that what you think too?"
Xiao Wang: "Yes, we have similar ideas, and we've discussed it before."
Hearing the children say this, Zhong Cuilan was finally completely relieved.
"We will still give you what we are supposed to. You can't get married and live a normal life without money. You will also have children in the future, and we can't just ignore you. It's our responsibility!"
Zhou An'an said, "Then you can manage it appropriately. We can both make money, and we'll definitely have a wonderful life in the future."
Xiao Wang: "Yes, Mom and Dad, don't worry!"
Old Wang was happy and wanted to smoke, but remembering his wife's reminder, he had to put out the thought. "Shouldn't we order some food now?"
Xiao Wang: "I'll go downstairs to order, what do you guys want to eat?"
Zhong Cuilan said, "Your father and I are fine with whatever we eat. I'll just eat whatever you eat."
So Xiao Wang went downstairs to order food.
Zhou An'an used his work experience to chat with them, and by the time Xiao Wang returned, they were already having a great time talking.
Zhong Cuilan said, "Child, let me tell you, the fish in the river where we live are especially big, and they're delicious when stewed."
Zhou An'an said, "When we have a vacation, we will definitely go back to see the mountains and rivers over there."
Zhong Cuilan burst into laughter, "I'll make you chicken stew with mushrooms, stir-fried fish, and lots of other things you've never tried before."
Zhou An'an is a typical foodie, and upon hearing this, she immediately got excited. "When I have a two-month vacation, I'll definitely have Xiao Wang take me back."
The elderly couple laughed nonstop upon hearing this, feeling that their son's good days were finally here.
They then had a meal together, and then went their separate ways.
The next day, Zhou An'an came again to accompany the elderly couple on a stroll around, which strengthened their relationship. The two elderly people were worried about the land at home, so they took a bus back the following day.
Zhou An'an and Xiao Wang saw the car off together, and as they watched it slowly drive away, they each waved goodbye.
They didn't turn back until the car was out of sight.
Zhou An'an: "Now that I've met your parents, come back with me next month to see my father!"
Xiao Wang immediately became nervous, "Will your dad agree to our relationship?"
Zhou An'an: "I'm not sure about that either! So you need to do your best to make a good first impression on my dad, and then our relationship will be settled!"
Xiao Wang mustered his courage and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely use all my skills. Tomorrow I'll ask everyone for advice and summarize our experiences!"
Zhou An'an burst out laughing, finding Xiao Wang incredibly cute.
"Actually, don't overthink it. My dad is a really good person."
Xiao Wang was still uneasy, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. He didn't want Zhou An'an to worry, and there was no one around, so he kissed her cheek.
Then the young couple playfully bickered and ran back home, making passersby envious and thinking how happy they were.
The elderly couple returned to the countryside and immediately started trying to sell their goods, determined not to let their son be looked down upon by his in-laws.
At the same time, the fact that their son married a city girl made them stand tall with pride. In addition, their daughter-in-law was a staff member of the law enforcement office, which was seen as being an official in the eyes of the rural people, making them extremely envious.
