Although Tingting and Jianjun didn't know what the old men were planning, they could guess quite a bit about it. This was the result everyone tacitly agreed on, and no one could say anything more.
Jianjun and Tingting also have their own plans; they are insightful. They believe that with talent and development, their children will also have a better future.
Because they treated Chengcai and Youcai as their own children, they cared even more for them.
"Jianjun, it seems we can't leave for now. We have to wait until Chengcai's engagement is over before we can go back."
“Wife, how much stuff do you think we need to bring? We can’t let Chengcai lose face. Right now, we’re not as good as Grandpa Lin’s family.”
“Other people’s children and grandchildren are all outstanding, from all walks of life. Zhiyu is the only girl, so we should also prepare well for her.”
“I’ve been thinking about that too. After all, we’re the men, so we need to be more proactive. Let’s visit the old man tomorrow and set a date.”
"But now that the child has recognized Yanbei as his father, it would be better if they could make the proposal. Let's go visit Hao Lao first."
"We'll just follow Yanbei's lead in giving gifts, however much they are. As for anything else we want to give to that child, we'll do it privately, without going through Yanbei."
"Okay, wife, you're right to think this way. But we can't go too far, or we'll end up pleasing neither side."
"With Yanbei gone, it's like the Hao family and the Lin family have formed a marriage alliance. We still need to work hard. This is the foundation for our success."
"Chengcai, Zhuzi, in the end we'll have to help him. It will take a lot of effort from all sides. It's not a simple matter."
"Yes, that's right. To engage in equal exchanges, you need to have the ability and strength to do so."
"These are all things to be discussed later. Although it's not many years away, we've laid a solid foundation for them in the next 20 years, so that when they turn 60, they can hand it over to their children."
"Yes, sometimes you want a life with the freedom to choose, but that's actually the hardest thing."
"Freedom also requires money, and you also need to consider your parents and children. These are all family ties that cannot be severed."
Jianjun nodded. What the two of them had always wanted was for their family to be happy and fulfilled, and for them to provide their children with the confidence to choose their own path in life.
However, as children grow up, sometimes what you think and what the children want are different.
Jianjun and Tingting respect them. No matter what kind of life they want, Jianjun and Tingting want to provide a safety net for them. Whether they are happy, joyful, glorious, or in a trough, they always have a home to rely on and a place to rest.
"Jianjun, take a look at what we should take. Although we can't let Yanbei win in terms of appearances, we can't let Chengcai lose face either."
"I think we should give Zhiyu 20,000 yuan, and also these bracelets we used to wear. Compared to the bracelets we have now, the ones in our space are quite stylish and trendy."
"Okay, let's see what else we can get. Zhiyu is a good girl; we can't mistreat her."
"Let's go exchange some industrial tickets, buy a matching watch for Zhiyu and Chengcai, and then buy a pair of bicycles for the two kids."
"This is neither too little nor too much, Jianjun."
“It’s already quite a lot, which is great. They still have four years until their wedding. Let’s work hard to earn money, what do you think?”
"Okay, we'll give you a bit more for the wedding."
"Let's get ready right away and get this done as soon as possible. We'll go see Grandpa Hao in a couple of days, but we also need to allow time for preparation."
Lin Zhiyu's mother was still not very happy. Although she knew that the old man did this for Zhiyu's own good, she also felt that Zhiyu could find someone better.
"Xingzhou, I am also Zhiyu's mother. Why don't you consult me about this matter?"
"Zhiyu is willing too, it was Grandpa who brought them together, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't you see? Although Cheng Cai has an aunt and uncle, this isn't their child. Even though Yan Bei has acknowledged him, this..."
"Pei Rong, I know what you mean. You think she's not quite as good as our Zhi Yu, right?"
“Listen to me, you’ve met Cheng Cai’s aunt before. Just look at the things she brought when she came back last time, she’s no ordinary person.”
"And this family has 7 children, and they can all go to school. Five of them were admitted to Xiamen University, and the other two were not old enough. This shows potential, ability, vision, and strength. None of them can be missing. Don't just look at what's in front of you."
“Our grandfather and Cheng Cai have known each other for many years. This is his grandfather. I am Zhiyu’s father. How can I not think about the children?”
"Also, the whole family spoils Zhiyu. This child is a bit willful. If she's too high up, our daughter will suffer. If she's too low up, you won't even look at her. Don't you know Zhiyu's personality?"
Pei Rong thought about it and agreed. She only had one daughter, so naturally she loved her dearly and was always worried that her daughter would be wronged.
