In the living room, Dong Wushuang looked at Shen Peifeng, who was still holding the gauze on his head, and felt distressed and angry with tears in his eyes.

"I told Zhixian to take you back, but you insisted on showing off. If you had saved your life and been washed ashore, and Comrade Lan had saved you, I think you would have been eaten by the fish long ago."

Dong Wushuang stretched out his hand, wanting to hit Er'er, but seeing that Er'er was injured and looked fine, he turned his raised palm and landed on Shen Zhixian.

"Ouch." Shen Zhiyan howled. Dong Wushuang glared at him, then turned around and slapped Shen Zhiyan again.

"You two actually hid such a big thing as your second brother's disappearance from me. Do you deserve to be punished?"

"Yes, yes, yes," the twins lowered their heads but were both smiling. They were so happy that their second brother came back safely that they would not mind being beaten once or even dozens of times.

Grandma Sheng pulled Zhan Xinyue to sit on the sofa, protecting her granddaughter in a protective manner. If Dong Wushuang wanted to hit Zhan Xinyue, the old lady would definitely stop him.

Zhan Xinyue smiled and patted her grandmother's face. "It's okay. Mom is too worried. If she takes her anger out on her two younger brothers, she will come to me."

Sure enough, after Dong Wushuang slapped the twins, his anger subsided after he vented, and he was left with only heartache.

Dong Wushuang began to cry, "How could you hide such a thing from me? Now that I know, I can help find it."

"Mom, Peifeng is back. It's such a happy thing. As the saying goes, every experience makes you wiser. I will definitely go to the beach alone in the future." Zhan Xinyue comforted.

Dong Wushuang choked up and glanced at Shen Peifeng, "You still have to learn how to swim in the future."

If you encounter an accident in the future, you can save yourself.

"Okay, Mom." Shen Peifeng responded obediently.

"Mom, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Shen Peifeng looked at Lan Yuqing who sat still after entering the house, and suddenly grabbed her hand and said to Dong Wushuang: "Mom, I want to marry Yuqing."

"ah?"

Dong Wushuang was confused. How could his 23-year-old, still a naive man, suddenly want to get married?

"Miss Yuqing, how old are you? How many people are there in your family? What do you do? Do your family members agree to your marriage?"

Dong Wushuang himself is also a minority, and he is not averse to Lan Yuqing, who is also a minority. However, if his son wants to get married quickly, he must ask about the future daughter-in-law's situation.

As someone who has been through it, Dong Wushuang deeply understands that marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.

"Aunt, I'm eighteen years old. My father and mother have passed away, and my sister has also passed away. There is only one niece in the family who is a few years older than me. I am the elder, and I need her consent to get married."

Lan Yuqing stood up and answered Dong Wushuang's question respectfully.

Dong Wushuang nodded and said that the family members were relatively simple.

"So what do you do yourself?"

"Aunt, I am the chief of the She ethnic group." Lan Yuqing replied.

Dong Wushuang's face darkened. She herself was from an ethnic minority and was also a Chinese teacher, so she was familiar with the customs of various ethnic minorities.

The She ethnic group has a hereditary system of patriarchy, which is passed down from daughter to son. The patriarch needs to recruit a son-in-law to live in the village, and then give birth to a daughter who will succeed him as patriarch.

"Miss Yuqing, you are Peifeng's savior. If you want to get married, as an elder, I will definitely bless you, but Peifeng's work is very important, and you love your work very much. I know that the She tribe leader wants to find a son-in-law from the She clan. If you get married, what will you do in the future?"

Dong Wushuang sighed: "I know my son, Peifeng will definitely give up his career. Miss Yuqing, you are the leader of the She tribe, you have your own responsibilities and mission, you should also leave your people. So..."

Dong Wushuang didn't say anything else, but Lan Yuqing already understood the hidden meaning. She lowered her head in disappointment. She understood that Dong Wushuang was right.

Lan Jiaojiao is too impetuous and has a good character. She is not suitable to be the clan leader. However, the Lan family has no successors. How can she be so selfish as to abandon the entire clan for a man?

"Aunt, I understand." Lan Yuqing nodded slightly, looked at Shen Peifeng deeply, said goodbye, walked out of the yard quickly, and drove away in the carriage.

"Yuqing," Shen Peifeng stood up and prepared to chase after her, but stopped abruptly when he thought of the mathematical formula for the unfinished lunar orbit.

"Mom," Shen Peifeng sighed as he watched Lan Yuqing leave: "Miss Yuqing and her people saved my life. Let's prepare some things and go to Jingxi to thank them."

Life-saving grace, I can only repay it with a little more material things.
