Chapter 306 Persuasion
"You still dare to argue!"
"I'm absolutely right. Besides, Mom, what era are we living in? Why are we still talking about arranged marriages? Does our Xiao family lack that kind of thing? The book says that only good-for-nothings would choose an arranged marriage!"
Xiao's mother was so angry that she clenched her index finger and tapped her daughter.
Xiao Xuening covered her head: "Mom, you're taking your anger out on me."
"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Just wait and see how your dad teaches you a lesson."
"Mom, please help me! Look, it's my sister-in-law's master's grandson! My sister-in-law is so amazing, it would be wonderful if Li Zhen and her husband were to marry into the same family. And you saw the grand scene yesterday. Not to mention our Xiao family, even any wedding in the south wouldn't have such a grand spectacle. So many people! I've never seen so many people in my life, and they were all here to congratulate my sister-in-law on her wedding. What does that mean? It means my sister-in-law's family is definitely not ordinary. Although when I asked, they all dodged the question and wouldn't say anything, but the more they do that, the more special their status is. Isn't that the case with our Xiao family too? When outsiders ask about our Xiao family, no one dares to speak so clearly."
"Mom, please help me! I know you're the best, Mom~"
"Alright, I'll talk to your dad about it later."
"I knew you were the best, Mom! I'll definitely take good care of you with Li Zhen in the future!"
I don't know if you're filial or not, but you're the one who always makes things difficult for me.
"Isn't it your second brother who's making things difficult for you? I'm such a good boy."
Xiao's mother couldn't resist knocking again.
"I can't keep banging on it. If I keep banging, my already not-so-bright brain will become even dumber this afternoon."
"So you know you're not smart? Who's always saying they're smart?"
"My mom is the smartest person in my family!"
"Oh."
Mr. Xiao returned from outside at this moment. He had just gone out for a walk and found the scenery here quite nice: "Are Pei-chuan and the others up?"
"He's up, washing his hands. We'll eat together later."
Speak of the devil, and he appears; Little Peach Blossom and Xiao Peichuan walk over together.
"Mom and Dad, Xue Ning," Little Peach Blossom greeted.
"Sit down quickly, Pei-chuan, serve your wife some rice."
Xiao Peichuan didn't say anything, but took a bowl and ladled a bowl of white rice porridge for Xiao Taohua.
"Thanks, dear."
"Darling? Cough cough!" Xiao Xuening almost choked after taking a sip of porridge.
"Even eating can't shut you up!" Xiao's mother scolded, but she also patted her daughter's back tenderly.
However, she was a little startled. But it's just a matter between a young couple, and it's all part of their fun. Although it was awkward, there was nothing she could say, especially since they were newlyweds.
After finally calming down her cough, Xiao Xuening looked at Xiao Taohua and said, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing."
Little Peach Blossom was also very straightforward: "I am very capable."
Xiao Xuening nodded again, gaining a deeper understanding of her sister-in-law's confidence.
However, the eldest brother didn't change his expression at all throughout, which is quite impressive.
Unable to resist glancing at Xiao Peichuan, she saw her older brother still serving food to his sister-in-law and showing her concern.
Ah, that's so enviable.
But I can only be envious. She's dating Li Zhen, and we may never have such tender moments together in our lives.
If that were true, she would be terrified and wouldn't be able to keep chasing after Li Zhen.
Well, sometimes Xiao Xuening also felt that her aesthetic sense was a bit strange.
But there's nothing we can do; it's innate, and we can't change it.
The breakfast started with a little hiccup, but everything went smoothly afterward.
After breakfast, the couple went out for a walk, and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao began to interrogate their daughter.
Knowing she couldn't escape, Xiao Xuening faced it bravely.
As for the result, you can tell by looking at Xiao Xuening's happy appearance when she came out; she was persuaded.
For someone as old-fashioned as Xiao's father, this was already the limit. The fact that he agreed to his daughter's request so quickly was, frankly, because of the wedding the day before.
As I said before, even though Mr. Xiao has lived for so many years, this is the first time he has ever seen so many people come to bless someone's marriage.
Even when he went out this morning, the people he met on the street greeted him in a friendly manner, many of whom he had never met before.
With such a great influence, Xiao's father naturally knew how to make a choice.
Besides, Li Zhen himself is a good young man, with his own ideas, and a top student at the Capital University. He is a perfect match for his daughter.
Of course, these are things they can only discuss among themselves right now. Any further developments will have to wait until the daughter wins someone over. I heard they're still in the pursuit stage.
After agreeing, Xiao's father felt that his daughter was no longer useful, as she hadn't managed to win someone over in all this time.
You should know that his eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law fell in love at first sight and decided to spend their lives together after just one meeting.
Xiao Xuening, disliked by her parents, didn't care what they thought. Since her parents had agreed, all that was left was to get Li Zhen's approval. So, she went straight to Li Zhen as soon as she stepped out the door. She hadn't been secretive before, and she was even less secretive this time.
Compared to the passionate romance between Xiao Xuening and Li Zhen, Xiao Taohua's relationship is more like a gentle stream, living in a world of two, but still full of warmth and affection.
That night, the couple finally got their period, and then they overslept the next day.
When she returned to her parents' home three days later, Xiao Taohua's cheeks were rosy and her face was full of joy, showing that she had had a good time these past few days.
Yin Qing, who had been a little worried, was no longer worried at all and invited the young couple to come in.
"Mom and Dad." Xiao Peichuan carried the gifts and followed behind Xiao Taohua.
"Since we're already here, why bring anything?" Yin Qing said.
"You should have brought something."
"Alright, sit down quickly. I have a few cans of food here. You can each have some later."
"Thank you, Mom," Xiao Peichuan said.
Yin Qing smiled but didn't say anything.
I must say, the more I look at my son-in-law, the more satisfied I become.
After three days of returning to the bride's family home, fewer people came to the Lin family than before. They had already seen everything they needed to see, and only a few people from the production team came to say hello, along with some of Xiao Taohua's childhood friends.
Lin Guangsheng pulled his son-in-law to sit down and asked, "How are things going on your side?" Lin Guangsheng was naturally asking about the trip back to Xiao Peichuan's hometown.
"Everything is almost ready. All we need to do is go back."
"I'll have to trouble you then."
"Father-in-law, you're joking. It's not a problem at all. It's just that I'll have to trouble you to let Xiao Taohua live outside."
“What’s so unfair about that? It’s your own house. We don’t have much money either, otherwise we could buy a house in your hometown.” Lin Guangsheng said with a sigh.
They wanted to go to the capital with their daughter to do business, so naturally they didn't have the money to buy a house in Xiao Pei-chuan's hometown.
“Father-in-law, you’re wrong. That house doesn’t belong to me; it belongs to Xiao Taohua.”
"That's Little Peach Blossom's."
"They belong to her; mine are all from Little Peach Blossom."
"You silly child." To be honest, Lin Guangsheng was quite pleased.
Xiao Peichuan smiled.
"Sigh, after living here for so many years, it's still a bit hard to get used to leaving."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, we will definitely take good care of you."
"I know you are filial, just don't find us a nuisance."
"Absolutely not!" Xiao Peichuan said with unwavering certainty.
