The car stopped in front of Jiang Li's house. For the first time, her uncle did not knit. Instead, he changed into a clean set of clothes and stood at the door waiting for them to come back.
As soon as Jiang Li got out of the car, his uncle greeted him warmly.
"Uncle, I'm back!"
Jiang Li greeted his uncle enthusiastically, but Zhang Guocai kept looking into the car.
"Where are my two nephews and grandsons? Why haven't they come back yet?"
"Uncle, isn't it okay that Chang'an and I are back?"
Jiang Li looked at him with feigned resentment, but Zhang Guocai waved his hand without giving him any face.
"I've been watching you for so many years, what's so good about it?"
"Uncle, I've only been away for less than two months, and you're already starting to dislike me?"
Jiang Li looked at him with a bitter face, her delicate willow-shaped eyebrows twisted into two caterpillars.
Zhang Guocai looked at her childish appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You're going to be a mother, but you're still so immature."
Zhang Guocai reached out and gently touched Jiang Li's forehead.
"Tell me, what brings you back this time?"
Zhang Guocai clearly knew the purpose of their return, and asked deliberately coldly.
He raised his chin slightly, pretending to be a little arrogant.
"Uncle, I miss you and would like to invite you to live in the provincial capital for a while."
Jiang Li did not talk about marriage immediately, but deliberately acted coquettishly in front of her uncle.
"No, don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Zhang Guocai himself is only in his 30s, only a dozen years older than his niece. Now seeing her acting so soft and coquettish, how can he resist?
Besides, he is a soft-hearted person and does not respond to harshness. His niece has him under her control.
"Uncle, uncle, your niece is getting married soon, and you are my only elder. Wouldn't you be willing to attend my wedding?"
Zhang Guocai pursed his lips and said nothing, while Jiang Li acted coquettishly towards him.
Zhang Guocai really couldn't stand it anymore. He stomped his feet lightly, turned around and walked into the house.
Jiang Li hurriedly followed her uncle, and Zhang Guocai pulled her into the room by her sleeve.
"Come here, your uncle has something to tell you."
Jiang Li turned around and shrugged. Shen Changan made a cheering gesture to her, and Jiang Li glared at him fiercely.
Shen Changan clasped his hands together again and kept begging her for help, and Jiang Li's expression looked a little better.
Jiang Li followed his uncle into the room, and his uncle slammed the door shut.
"Xiao Li, are you really going to marry Xiao Shen?"
Before Jiang Li could react, his uncle started asking questions.
Jiang Li nodded seriously, “Uncle, you are right, I am going to marry Shen Changan.”
"Have you really thought it through? With a family like his, you're bound to have conflicts with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law if you're with him. It's not that I don't agree with you getting married, I'm just worried that you'll rush into it and regret it later!"
Zhang Guocai spoke earnestly, like someone who had been through it all.
Jiang Li knew that his uncle was doing his best for him, so he didn't expose him.
"Uncle, Chang'an and I have our own house in the provincial capital. After we get married, we won't live with my parents-in-law, so there won't be too many conflicts."
"I went to the provincial capital with Chang'an this time and met his parents. They are very satisfied with me. We are getting along very well and there are no problems for the time being."
Jiang Li briefly told his uncle about some recent events in the provincial capital.
After listening to this, Zhang Guocai's heart finally settled down.
But he only has this one niece, so naturally he has a lot to worry about.
"That's because you haven't been together for a long time and don't know each other well, so you think so."
"Uncle, Chang'an and I have a stable relationship. I've chosen him for my whole life and I won't marry anyone else except him."
"I originally had no intention of getting married, but it was his appearance that moved me. I wouldn't marry anyone else anyway, so what difference does it make if I marry him sooner or later?"
Jiang Li's words were so decisive that Zhang Guocai was stunned for a long time.
"You are still so young, and you must be with him in this life?"
Zhang Guocai was only in his 30s and didn't know what love felt like. Shen Changan, a young boy, had actually seduced his outstanding niece away, and she insisted on marrying him in this life.
The more Zhang Guocai thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he felt a little sour in his heart.
Zhang Guocai had already agreed in his heart, but he just didn't want to make them too happy.
My uncle hasn't even gotten married yet, but now he's become the witness and has to sit there as an elder. When people ask him where his significant other is, where will he put his face?
"Yeah, if the person I marry isn't him, I might as well not get married."
"Since you've already made the decision, why bother asking for my opinion? My opinion isn't that important, is it?"
Zhang Guocai's words were also sour. He was actually very afraid that his niece would be angry, and he kept secretly watching her expression. As long as the situation was not right, he would immediately change his attitude.
Jiang Li could probably guess what her uncle was thinking. She knew that her uncle had no ill intentions and had been very kind to her along the way.
The reason he was being so cautious in making things difficult for her was because he cared about his niece.
"I don't have parents anymore, so I recognize you as my uncle. Your opinion doesn't matter. Whose opinion matters?"
Jiang Li sighed softly. She was not going to be angry with her uncle for such a small matter.
My uncle's attitude was very clear; he just wanted her to show her sincerity.
Jiang Li simply agreed to his wish. His uncle just had a little temper, so he could just let it go for a while.
Zhang Guocai sighed heavily after hearing what Jiang Li said. He also knew Jiang Li's current situation. He couldn't bear to make her sad, but he also didn't want to easily fulfill her wish.
Zhang Guocai looked awkward, which made Jiang Li laugh. She simply added another piece of firewood to the fire.
"Uncle, if you really don't want me to get married, then I won't get married!"
Jiang Li said this seriously. Zhang Guocai, who was still hesitating just now, immediately became anxious when he heard this.
"Marriage is no joke. Since we've already agreed to get married, how can we not get married?"
"My only uncle doesn't agree with my marriage. Without the blessing of my elders, my marriage is doomed to be unhappy. If that's the case, then what's the point of getting married?"
Jiang Li sniffed and looked at him with a deliberately resentful look.
Jiang Li will not marry anyone but Chen Changan in this life. If his niece is unable to get married due to his opposition, he will become a sinner!
When Zhang Guocai saw such a huge pot thrown at him, he didn't dare to reach out to catch it, and immediately changed the subject.
"When did uncle object? You're so opinionated at such a young age. Haven't you always made your own decisions?"
“If you think Shen Changan is okay, then you can get married. How could your uncle, such a reasonable person, object?”
