Zhou Shao looked at Pei Guoan after he finished speaking: "I will show my sincerity. I really want to treat Miaomiao as my sister. What do you think? Do you agree?"
Seeing Pei Guoan did not answer
"It's just a name. We won't ask Miaomiao to do anything for the Zhou family. But as long as Miaomiao needs us, our Zhou family will do our best to protect her, and I will protect her like a brother."
As the future heir of the Zhou family, there are some promises that cannot be made casually, but being able to say these words means that he can do it, which is already very sincere.
"This matter is really not for me to decide. Can't you see my status in the family? Matters like this can only be decided by my wife herself. I respect her opinion."
Pei Guoan said helplessly, his words were a bit cowardly, but Zhou Shaogao looked at him
Although he hadn't recognized his sister yet, Zhou Shao had already automatically assumed the identity of his brother-in-law, and his eyes looked at Pei Guoan a little differently.
"The meal is ready, come and eat."
"What do you mean by respecting me?"
Li Miaomiao came out of the kitchen and planned to pick some onions in the yard. These onions and garlic were planted when she first arrived. They were convenient for daily use when she heard Pei Guoan's words.
"I want to recognize you as my sister. I want to ask you what you think?"
Zhou Shao originally wanted to see what Li Miaomiao thought, but this matter had to go through Pei Guoan. When he heard Li Miaomiao ask this, he said without waiting for Pei Guoan to speak.
Li Miaomiao blinked when she heard that. "I heard you right, Master Zhou, you want to recognize me as your sister. Why? Don't you dislike me and say I'm a troublemaker? Isn't that asking for trouble?"
Zhou Shao: ...
"You are quite a grudge girl. I am not doing this for your own good. You are so weak and you are so high-profile that you will be remembered by others."
"Okay, you don't look down on me, a country girl, so why shouldn't I be happy? I have a brother to back me up, so if I get into trouble in the future, there's someone to take the blame. How great!"
Zhou Shao thought Li Miaomiao was unhappy, but when he heard Li Miaomiao's straightforward answer, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.
She is worthy of being the sister he has chosen. She is much more pleasing to the eye than the other girls in the family who make him annoyed. She is also particularly straightforward and efficient. Even if others clearly say that he is a tool, he is happy to do whatever he wants.
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's get it done today. From now on, you'll be my sister. When this is settled, I'll bring my parents to meet you. They're sure to like you and be so happy."
"Okay, brother!"
Li Miaomiao said this and stretched out her hand to Zhou Shao.
Zhou Shao was a little confused: "What does this mean?"
"No way, Mr. Zhou, no, brother, you acknowledged me as your sister but didn't give me a red envelope? I have to pay you for changing your mind~~"
Zhou Shao really laughed when he heard that. He felt around and realized he hadn't brought anything with him. He took out a jade pendant and said, "Here, this is a gift for you. All the children in our Zhou family are born with a jade pendant."
Li Miaomiao looked at the jade pendant with the word Zhou carved on it. It was too precious both in terms of its meaning and its value.
"This is too expensive, otherwise you can just owe it to me."
Seeing that Li Miaomiao refused to accept it, Zhou Shao put the jade pendant on Li Miaomiao's neck and said, "Since she is my sister, of course she must have something worthy of her status. Everyone in our Zhou family recognizes this."
Li Miaomiao was not sure, but Pei Guoan looked at the jade pendant Zhou Shao took out and knew what it represented, which surprised him a little.
Zhou Shao really treated his wife as his sister. Although all the children of the Zhou family were born with a jade pendant, there were differences between jade pendants, especially in the Zhou family. Each jade pendant represented a different meaning. It goes without saying what the jade pendant taken from Zhou Shao, the heir of the Zhou family, represented.
Li Miaomiao didn't know all this. Seeing that Zhou Shao was sincere in giving it to her and the jade pendant was already hanging around her neck, she didn't refuse.
Anyway, she had already acknowledged Zhou Shao as her brother, so she just took the jade pendant. She would prepare a gift for Zhou Shao later.
Seeing that Li Miaomiao was wearing the jade pendant obediently and had no intention of taking it off, Zhou Shao nodded with satisfaction: "This jade pendant looks good on you. Don't take it off easily in the future. There are also etiquettes for wearing jade. You will be its owner from now on."
Li Miaomiao felt a little strange when she heard Zhou Shao say that, but she didn't think much about it and nodded obediently, acting a bit like a younger sister.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
As Li Miaomiao was saying this, she suddenly remembered that there was something cooking in the pot: "I won't talk to you anymore. I have to hurry up and cook. The soup in the pot is almost boiled dry."
Since the recognition of relatives was a good thing, it should be celebrated. Li Miaomiao bought two kilograms of braised beef from the system mall, cut it and put it on a plate, and also prepared some dipping sauce.
In addition to the braised beef in soy sauce, Li Miaomiao also took out a smoked rabbit. Together with the three dishes and one soup that were already prepared, it was a very rich meal.
When the meal was ready, Zhou Shao looked at the food prepared by Li Miaomiao and felt even more satisfied. This sister was very considerate. She knew that she had to feel sorry for her brother and made so many delicious foods to celebrate.
"Miaomiao, put aside other things. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I didn't let you call me brother in vain."
Li Miaomiao called Zhou Shao "brother" sweetly a few times to coax him.
Pei Guoan watched coldly from the side. It seemed that some people were not so sweet and coquettish even when calling each other husband.
After dinner, Li Miaomiao and Zhou Shao talked about their previous discoveries.
"I've seen it all. The chart you put on the table is very well made. The relationship between the two is clear at a glance. There were some things I couldn't figure out before, but after looking at the chart you put on the table, I suddenly understood."
"I can only piece together so many connections from the information I have available. But look at these two paragraphs. There are intersections and doubts. I hope you can send me more detailed information so I can analyze it. Perhaps I can find a breakthrough or a surprise."
"Okay, I'll have someone look it up and send it to you right away, but it'll take some time to find the information."
Zhou Shao hoped that Li Miaomiao could find out what the problem was as soon as possible. Li Miaomiao seemed to be very talented in this area, and she was also very lucky. She could always bring them some key things when things were at a stalemate.
"We must investigate thoroughly. I suspect there's a significant connection. Cheng Man might have known Sister Zhou at that time. If we investigate thoroughly, we might be able to uncover other things and expose some hidden issues."
