Yun Zhiping poured tea for the Zhou family, "Auntie Zhou is too polite."
Put the first cup in front of Zhou's father, "Uncle Zhou, have some tea."
"Okay, okay, Zhiping, stop working and let me call the third son." Father Zhou glanced at his silly son who kept looking at Zhiyu.
Zhou Songbai felt a pain in his waist. Out of the corner of his eye he saw his mother retract her hand while she was talking and laughing with Zhiyu. He stood up and poured tea for everyone.
Zhou's mother and Yun Zhiping were talking back and forth, and Zhou's father would respond from time to time and interject. Zhou's two sisters-in-law also smiled and acted as a foil, occasionally speaking to show that what Zhou's mother said was true.
The two parties involved, Meng Zhiyu and Zhou Songbai, sat there quietly, listening to what they were saying.
Mother Zhou said, "Zhiping, you've been living here for a few days now, and you've seen what our family is like. We're not the kind of family that bullies their daughters-in-law. Now that our sons are grown up, our father and I are in a hurry to urinate, so we're thinking of giving them a separate family home after the third child gets married."
Father Zhou agreed, "Yes, if the third child hadn't gotten married yet, I would have wanted to split up the family long ago so that we could each live our own lives, relaxed and comfortable. If anyone needs help, we two old people will help out, and we can share the cost of retirement in equal measure."
It was obviously not the first time that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou heard their parents-in-law talk about dividing the family property. They smiled and nodded, proving that what they said was true.
Yun Zhiping listened quietly. His grandfather had two sons, his father was the eldest, and he also had a deceased aunt, Zhiyu's mother. Their family had lived together, but they all moved out to live on their own, which was another way of dividing the family.
Before coming, the elders in the family had already discussed the issue of Zhiyu's marriage with him. As the eldest grandson of the eldest son who has grown up, his family has great trust in him.
Good character, harmonious family, getting along well with parents-in-law, whether the family will split up, and whether the family can live in the city with Zhiyu in the future are the key points summarized by their family.
He had already confirmed the first four points, and they were still acceptable, but he had to ask about the last one.
"I know what Aunt Zhou said. We all hope that our loved ones live well," Yun Zhiping nodded in agreement. "However, I won't hide it from you. My cousin's mother died young, and her father's second marriage had some problems. She is the only one left in the family. As her in-laws, we naturally consider her a member of the Yun family."
"My cousin is a girl, and my family is really worried about her living so far away from home. It's hard to even see her. My aunt only has this one child, and our whole family values her very much."
Yun Zhiping continued, "So, no matter what the situation is in the future, we will definitely let our cousin return to the city."
Zhou Songbai obviously didn't expect Yun Zhiping to say this. He couldn't help but tense up and his heart was hanging. He glanced at Meng Zhiyu opposite him anxiously, and his eyes met hers.
Wasn't Meng Zhiyu surprised? Yun Zhiping had mentioned this to her. She knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in the future, but the Yun family didn't know, so she just said that she would definitely return to the city in the future.
As for Zhou Songbai, he will definitely take the exam to go to college. If he can get into a school, he will go to that school, not just one city.
Mother Zhou and Father Zhou looked at each other, and Mother Zhou said, "Zhiping, I understand your concerns. If you have any ideas, just tell us directly and we can discuss it."
Yun Zhiping didn't like to keep things in suspense. "Auntie Zhou, our family wants to find someone who is willing to follow my cousin back to the city."
Mother Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that she was going to say that the temperature was not right and asked her third son to break up. After all, when he said he wanted to go back to the city, didn’t that mean he would eventually leave?
"It's not a big issue. The children are grown up now, and it's up to them how and where they live. They just need to come back to visit us two old people regularly."
In Zhou's mother's view, this matter is not a big deal, and most rural people want to live in the city but cannot. Now that her son can benefit from his wife, she should worry about whether her son will be disliked.
"Yes, yes, what your aunt said is exactly what I think." Father Zhou and his wife have the same idea.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou Er were a little envious. Since their brother-in-law had followed them to the city, the Yun family would definitely arrange a job for him. Then he would be a formal city dweller, which was something they could only dream of.
Zhou Songbai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he was going to be separated from his partner. Although living with his partner's parents' home felt a bit like a live-in son-in-law, he didn't think it was a big problem.
Yun Zhiping thought the Zhou family would agree, but he didn't expect them to be so straightforward. It seemed that Zhou's father and mother were more open-minded than he thought.
"Okay, I can stay here for another three or four days. If you have no problem with it, Aunt Zhou, just do it before I leave." The Zhou family was straightforward, and he couldn't procrastinate too much. Anyway, he and his cousin had already discussed it.
Zhou's mother and the others were naturally overjoyed. They didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Zhou Songbai was even more delighted. The person he liked was going to be engaged to him. Just thinking about it made him feel so sweet.
