After hanging up the phone, Qin Tianxiong was in a daze for a long time, feeling as if he was hallucinating.
Miao Ruxiu, who was drinking tea nearby, pinched him hard. Miao Ruxiu did as he was told, and Qin Tianxiong cried out in pain.
This loud shout startled Miao Ruxiu.
"That old man is so jumpy, it's really scary," Miao Ruxiu said, patting her chest to calm herself down.
"Old woman! Our second son is getting married."
Miao Ruxiu thought it was something big. "I know...didn't you just say...our second son is getting married..."
Miao Ruxiu was almost shocked when she realized what was happening. Her second son would get married?
It's more realistic to believe that sows can climb trees.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I think you're just bored, old man, listening to your unreliable old friend spread these unreliable rumors."
“Our second son is a devoted lover. He accidentally slept with a girl and waited for her his whole life, keeping his promise that he would marry no one but her.”
"This sweet and gentle granddaughter has just been found, how could she possibly have a second spring? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Besides, our second son isn't young anymore. Who would be blind enough to fall for him, just because he looks old, has a face full of wrinkles, and exudes an old-age vibe?"
Qin Tianxiong knew his wife wouldn't believe him. "I knew you wouldn't believe me. Why don't you call and ask? It's after get off work hours now, so it won't interfere with his work."
Miao Ruxiu asked Qin Tianxiong again, feeling that he was teasing her.
How could her second son possibly get married?
Didn't you say that having Yingying as your daughter is enough for this lifetime?
Where did this woman come from? She stirred up worldly desires in his son, making him somewhat interested in her.
As long as it's not one of those seductive things, it's fine.
"Tell me what conditions Qin Fang has for marrying that person. The person who can make him agree to marry is definitely not simple."
"I heard about a woman from the countryside, 28 years old this year, who was married once, but her husband died and she didn't have any children."
Miao Ruxiu stroked her chin thoughtfully, thinking that such a thing was unlikely. How could a rural widow have such great abilities? More than ten years ago, she had already sought out some kind of celestial beauty.
The son didn't fancy a single one of them.
This woman is 28 years old, still young, and has been married once before. She could be a good match for his son...
She wasn't the kind of person to break up a couple. Her son had finally ended his life as a monk, and she wouldn't be the one to do so.
This child's first half of life was too hard, it's good to have someone to accompany her in the second half. No matter what her conditions are, the Qin family can meet them, as long as her son doesn't have to live such a hard life in the second half.
She's practically half-buried already, there's nothing she can't think straight about. As long as she truly cares for her foolish son, there's nothing she can't have.
"Make way, make way."
Miao Ruxiu pushed the person aside, plopped down next to the phone, and called her great-grandson, who was doing his homework nearby, to help her dial the number.
Qin Tianzhu is the youngest and is currently in the first grade of elementary school. When he heard his great-grandmother calling him, he ran to the phone and followed her instructions to dial his second grandfather's office number.
The call was answered shortly afterward by a guard. "The commander has finished get off work. Do you want to call him now, or wait until Commander Qin comes to work this afternoon?"
Miao Ruxiu couldn't wait that long; she wanted to find out what was going on right now.
"I can't wait, I have an urgent matter. Call the person over here right now to answer the phone."
"Okay. I'll hang up now, and I'll have Chief Qin call you back when he gets here."
"Alright then. Thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all."
The call has temporarily ended.
Qin Fang was reprimanding these arrogant military wives, telling them to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
"You all better remember this! If you're ever caught fighting like this again, you men won't be able to get away with it with just a written apology!"
"You'll all receive a major demerit! This kind of demerit can seriously affect your promotion! But today, considering this is your first offense, I'll give you all a chance!"
"Did you understand?"
The military wives nodded repeatedly.
"I understand!"
"You haven't eaten! Speak louder!"
"Understood." The voices rang out in unison, clear and resounding.
Once Qin Fang starts lecturing people, it never ends; it's not going to end so easily.
Liu Xiaoliu's sudden approach brought a sense of relief to everyone.
Qin Fang knew that his family had an urgent matter to discuss with him, so he ran off without thinking twice, leaving the remaining cleanup work to Liu Xiaoliu.
"Attention everyone! Dismissed!"
The military wives looked relieved, but their curiosity kept bubbling up, and they grabbed Liu Xiaoliu and started gossiping.
"Where did Chief Qin go? He looks so anxious, is something important happening? Tell me about it."
Liu Xiaoliu looked helpless. This group of military wives were naturally gossipy. They had just been scolded, but they immediately had the energy to chat about other gossip.
No wonder people say that wherever there are women, there is a constant stream of gossip to hear.
Chief Qin's gossip was not something his bodyguard should discuss. "Stop asking about those irrelevant things! It's getting late! If you don't go back and make lunch soon, your men will go hungry."
Upon hearing this, the military wives slapped their foreheads and scattered like birds and beasts, all going back to their homes to cook.
On the other side.
Panting heavily, Qin Fang returned to his office and immediately dialed the number he knew by heart.
The phone rang for a few minutes before being answered quickly. "Mom, is something wrong at home? Why are you calling me so urgently? Can't we talk about it this afternoon?"
Miao Ruxiu's anxious voice came through, "I can't wait any longer. Your dad just called home with his old comrade-in-arms to share some good news, but we still don't understand what happened?"
"You brat, tell me honestly. Did you submit a marriage certificate? Or is someone spreading rumors that there's no such thing as a marriage certificate?"
Qin Fang stood there awkwardly, stunned. The marriage application had just been submitted, and his parents had already received the news. There really are no secrets that stay hidden forever; his father's connections were quite extensive.
“I’m not spreading rumors. I submitted the marriage application myself. I originally wanted to wait until the application was approved before telling you about it, but my dad has a lot of connections. As soon as the application was submitted, you got the news immediately.”
Hearing that the news was true and that there was no one to spread rumors, her poor son finally came to his senses.
Is it a bit too late to finally understand something at forty-four?
It's better to be married than not to be married.
It's good that my son has someone to keep him company. "Son, it's not that we don't agree with you finding a wife, but isn't the one you've found a bit too young? There's a difference of more than ten years between you, which is a bit too big."
Qin Fang was helpless; after all, his Su Wan Ning had been reborn into the body of a widow, and was only twenty-eight years old—something he couldn't change.
