After hearing this, Xia Ruqian became happy: "Sister, you finally agreed! It's not easy! Okay, think about this matter carefully. I'll talk to Guoqing first and see what Wen Zhichao thinks!"
Xia Ruzheng looked at his sister who was more excited than himself and shook his head helplessly.
After lunch, Xia Ruqian and Liu Guoqing went back. When Xia Ruzheng had some free time, he couldn't help but think about Xia Ruqian's proposal.
In this family, the father is doing this for the good of the two sisters, and the sister is doing this for the good of herself and the father. As for herself, I naturally hope that my sister and the father will be well. Originally, this is a matter of purpose. If all three of them want to agree, then naturally all three of them have to be well.
Xia Ruzheng's proposal to support Xia Chunfu in the future wasn't without purpose. She knew that society would become increasingly open, gender equality would be more effectively implemented, and both the husband's family and the wife's family would be on equal footing. Daughters would have inheritance rights and a duty of care; this was the trend of social development. It was just that saying it now was a bit frightening. The idea that sons provide for the elderly, while daughters belong to other families, was a common one. Therefore, the idea that sons have inheritance rights, while daughters don't, was also common. This was also the reason why the Xia brothers and aunt were eyeing Xia Chunfu's property.
If anyone could accept this offer, as long as they were decent, Xia Ruzheng would actually be willing to accept it. However, applying this requirement to Wen Zhichao struck Xia Ruzheng as a bit odd. Objectively speaking, Wen Zhichao was a decent person, possessing both intelligence and courage. The fact that he could make friends with his looks showed that he had decent character. Xia Ruzheng had also had the good fortune to see him up close, and if he had black hair, he would have been absolutely stunning. Even with his gray hair, he still looked great. In his previous life, Xia Ruzheng had no idea anime existed, much less cosplay. Many people cosplay with gray hair, and they look quite good too!
After much thought, Xia Ruzheng finally decided that being with someone like Wen Zhichao wasn't such a bad thing. She could accept it intellectually and emotionally. At this point, she was still a little unsure of her feelings for him. Because of the trauma left behind by her past life, Xia Ruzheng felt that marriage was a terrifying thing.
Xia Ruqian was a man of action. Not long after returning to her parents' home, she returned to her parents' home again, forcing Xia Chunfu to lecture her: "What's the point of always going back to your parents' home? Aren't you afraid of people gossiping? Aren't you afraid of your mother-in-law being unhappy? What if your sister-in-law doesn't like it and grumbles a few words? Just wait and see what you'll do!"
The world of women is more complicated than that of men, because women's minds are more delicate, and many trivial things can cause a stir. This is Xia Chunfu's feeling.
Xia Ruqian said with a smile: "I told my parents-in-law when I got back. This is an important matter!"
Xia Chunfu didn't know what it was about, so he said, "If you don't tell me something important, you'll have to wait at least a month before coming back next time!"
Xia Ruqian asked, "Sister's lifelong event, do you think it's important?"
This was indeed a big deal. Xia Chunfu snorted softly, as if to spare Xia Ruqian, and said, "What's it? Let me hear it too."
Xia Ruzheng was also present, so Xia Ruqian said, "It's not a big deal. Guoqing just did what I asked. It seems to be a big deal. The elderly on both sides are the same, so of course they should be treated the same way."
The last time Xia Ruqian and Xia Ruzheng were whispering to each other, Xia Chunfu had no idea what the two sisters were talking about, so he was confused at this time.
"Speak humanly to me, why are you being so secretive?"
Xia Ruqian said, "Isn't it my sister's business? She said that she would only marry you if the other party was willing to take you home and take care of you. I asked Guoqing to ask Wen Zhichao about his opinion, and that's the result I just got. Dad, do you think it's okay?"
Although Xia Chunfu was happy in her heart, she still said, "What nonsense! How can you just ask people about this kind of thing? You, girl, you'll need your mother-in-law to teach you a lesson in the future!"
Xia Ruqian knew her father was all talk and no action, but she still smiled and said, "Dad, don't try to bluff me. The most important thing right now is my sister's business! Dad, don't you also think highly of Wen Zhichao? The more I look at Wen Zhichao, the more I think he's perfect for being my brother-in-law! What do you think, sister?"
Xia Ruzheng glanced at Xia Chunfu and said, "I don't have any objections, but it depends on what Dad thinks."
Xia Chunfu said, "Don't you know what Dad is thinking? Of course he's optimistic about that kid!"
Xia Chunfu didn't understand. As a girl, Xia Ruqian understood her sister's feelings. How could a girl be so open? He immediately clapped his hands and said, "So, our family thinks Wen Zhichao is very good and worthy of being my brother-in-law. Dad, find a time to make this clear to Wen Zhichao and let him come to our house to propose marriage!"
Xia Ruzheng hit his sister and said, "How can we discuss this matter on our own? It would seem too... too..."
In short, the woman should be reserved and shy, and should maintain her dignity. How can she come to the man's house and talk about it so openly?
Xia Chunfu said with a smile, "Dad is a man. It's okay for him to see his daughter. It's not like you're going to see her yourself. Well, Zhengzheng, you finally agreed. I'm relieved too."
Although Xia Ruzheng blushed, she didn't run into her room and hide like other girls.
Xia Ruzheng's lifelong event has finally been settled, and the Xia family breathed a sigh of relief. This is the thing that everyone is most concerned about!
Xia Ruqian was already happily planning: "Dad, just invite Wen Zhichao to your house for dinner, and then clarify the matter. Then Guoqing and I will come over to help. If he's willing, we can finalize the matter!"
