After returning home, Grandpa Lin called all his family members together.
"Xingzhou, what do you think of Chengcai and Tingting's family? You won't blame me for making the decision regarding Zhiyu's marriage, will you?"
When the family heard about Zhiyu's marriage, they all looked up in surprise. The old man had been gone for so long, and this was the news they heard when he returned.
"Dad, of course I think Chengcai is a good child, but who can predict what will happen in the future? Our second and third brothers are all boys, and Zhiyu is the only girl in the family. Of course I'm worried."
"Also, it depends on whether Zhiyu likes it or not. Our family isn't poor, and I just want Zhiyu to be happy."
“I only have one granddaughter, how could I not love her? Last time I asked Zhiyu to take Chengcai to school, I already asked her about it.”
"Zhiyu, what do you think of Chengcai? If you don't like him, Grandpa won't let you two get engaged."
“Grandpa, I think he’s a good person. He was able to get into university on his own, so he must be capable,” Zhiyu said shyly.
"Alright, then it's settled. Let's set a time and a date for the engagement, and get married after Chengcai graduates from university. What do you think?"
“Dad, listen to you. Lin Xingzhou’s heart is aching. His daughter is so grown up and she’s about to get married. She’s the only girl in the family, and the whole family dotes on her.”
Lin Zhiyu is definitely a looks-obsessed person. When she went to send Cheng Cai off, she took a liking to him. Her grandfather also wanted to match them up, which she tacitly agreed to.
Cheng Cai's current demeanor is one of strong pressure, yet he speaks very gently, which is due to his extensive reading and life experiences in his youth.
Tingting showed him many books that weren't available at the time, which naturally made his speech and manners different from other boys his age, and more outstanding.
He possesses the freshness of a 20-year-old and the maturity, composure, and strategy of a 30-year-old man. This contradictory feeling is very attractive to Zhiyu, so she is very satisfied with this marriage.
"Xingzhou, Xingqing, Xingan, come to my study in a moment. I have something to say to you."
"Okay, Dad," the three brothers said, unsure of what their father was trying to say, but they suspected it was related to Cheng Cai and his family, given the more complicated situation they were now involved in.
"Dad, what's the matter that you called us here for?" Xingzhou asked.
"Aren't you all curious about why I paired Zhiyu and Chengcai together? After all, while Chengcai is outstanding, there are quite a few people like him."
"Is this father someone who had Cheng Cai's family help you back then?"
"Yes and no, Cheng Cai helped us with this, and Lao Hao, Lao Su, and I remember it."
"You haven't noticed, this kid is quite lucky. He met us when he was young, and later he met Jianjun and the others. This kid can seize any opportunity he gets."
"Sometimes, many people will miss opportunities in their entire lives. That's what ability and skill are all about."
"And this child knows how to be grateful. We won't help him and end up with an ungrateful child. He will treat Zhiyu well. Don't worry, I can judge people rightly."
"Also, your other two uncles and I are getting old. We don't know how many more years we have left. We old guys have a good relationship, but what will happen when we're gone?"
“Chengcai has been kind to all three of us, and he is a bond between us. That’s why we adopted him as our son.”
"No matter what happens in the future, you won't have too much of a falling out. Cheng Cai is the mediator."
"Dad, I understand what you mean. You've gone to great lengths for us too."
"Well, no matter what, Jianjun's family are smart people. You all saw their reaction today."
"The fact that they arranged for Cheng Cai and You Cai to recognize their relatives shows that their vision and plans extend beyond the present, into the future."
“Dad, I also noticed what you’re talking about. If it were an ordinary person who had raised Chengcai and Youcai for so long, they would have been angry long ago if they had adopted other people as their parents. But I could tell that they were genuinely happy at the time.”
"Yes, that's why I said their standards are high, and they won't be bad. It's precisely because Zhiyu is our family's darling that I arranged for them to get engaged."
“I understand, Dad. If the conditions are too high, I’m afraid Zhiyu will be mistreated if she marries into the family. If the conditions are average, the standards are not high and there is no future for her. So Chengcai’s family is the best choice.”
"Don't worry, Zhiyu is my granddaughter. Although I also consider Chengcai as one of my own, I won't let him affect Zhiyu's happiness. This is indeed the best choice for Zhiyu."
The three brothers nodded. It had to be their father; he thought long-term and clearly saw a person's potential and future.
This is more attractive to a gentle girl like Lin Zhiyu, since she also prefers boys with their own opinions.
