After listening to his words, Jiang Tao thought about it for a while and decided to listen to Wang Lei, since he was smarter than him.
Xia Hong was quite disappointed with his painting, but unexpectedly, the Guo family sent him another one today, which was even better than the original.
I happily accepted it and planned to put it in his study.
Grandpa Xia also quite liked this painting and originally intended to take it home to admire it.
But later I decided to wait a while before making a decision, and a while ago I asked Xia Hong for a painting.
It's not a good time to talk about it now; it's better to wait a while. After all, it's just for appreciation. Of course, whether Xia Hongxin believes it or not is none of his business.
Xia Hong felt like someone was watching him, but then he thought that it was normal for more people to be paying attention to him in this kind of situation.
Grandpa Lin had also heard that Zhu Zi was engaged, and he and the other two grandpas sent their congratulatory gifts. Although they were not present, they still gave Jianjun's family and the Xia family a lot of face.
Xia Ying and Wei Dong's engagement was quite successful; now it's up to them to work hard.
"Grandpa, today Chengcai's younger brother, Weidong, got engaged. I heard that many people are paying attention to it."
"That's normal, Zhiyu. Chengcai is engaged to you, and Weidong is with that girl from the Xia family. Of course, there are many people comparing you two."
"Of course, I feel that Jianjun and his wife are also aware of the situation, so don't worry."
The gifts that Zhiyu received from Jianjun and his wife were quite significant, and her friends were very envious.
But since they weren't Cheng Cai and You Cai's parents, they naturally started to worry.
Many people are now comparing her to Xia Ying, since both of them are engaged to children from the Guo family.
Regardless of their motives or intentions, it did make Zhiyu begin to worry.
"Zhiyu, don't worry. Look at you, you don't even care about such a small thing."
"Dad, I'm not really someone who cares about these things, but several people have asked me about them today, and I'm getting annoyed with it."
"I'm worried because Guo Weidong is, after all, their child, and their eldest son in the true sense."
"Hey, don't worry, the fact that the Guo family raised Chengcai and Youcai, who have no relation to them, proves that they are grateful and kind-hearted people."
"And another thing, think about it, they're not the kind of people who only care about what's in front of them, Zhiyu, you can rest assured about that."
“They’ve already treated Cheng Cai like their own child; they wouldn’t embarrass him like that.”
"Think about it, they had to consider all aspects when they got engaged so that they would have the confidence to succeed."
“If they do that, Cheng Cai won’t say anything, but Jian Jun and Zhang Tingting are definitely more thoughtful than you.”
"Do you think you would do that? They're so smart, they definitely wouldn't."
"Zhiyu, it's not that Grandpa is criticizing you, but you're getting a little impatient. You take a few words from others to heart?"
"And then what? Once this matter is over, what if other things happen? Would you still compare them?"
"Jianjun and Zhang Tingting, this couple, are also treating Chengcai as someone they are truly nurturing. Haven't you realized that yet?"
“If they were to follow their usual way of doing things, they would definitely want to be fair.”
"Grandpa, I know I'm being stingy, but I'm also a little worried. If this isn't fair, I'll feel ashamed when I go out in the future."
"But if you're going to say that what others did was wrong, you can't make comparisons like that."
"You've been spoiled since you were little. You're the only girl in the family, so naturally they'll agree to everything you ask for."
“However, it’s wrong of you to think about this matter this way. How will you be able to manage the household in the future?”
"Besides, everyone has their own purpose and ideas when they say something. It's not a bad thing that the Xia family and the Guo family have become related by marriage."
"This is a good thing for both Wei Dong and Cheng Cai. Of course, some people don't want things to go so smoothly and want to make things worse."
"You should think more about this in the future. You still lack experience and your thinking is too simplistic."
"Don't just focus on the immediate gains and losses; take a longer-term view."
"I understand, Grandpa."
Zhiyu's father also felt sorry for his daughter, after all, she was the only girl in the Lin family.
I made some inquiries to find out what was going on.
"Mr. Lin, I'm back. Their engagement ceremony has also concluded."
"Then today the Guo family also prepared couple watches, bicycles, 20,000 yuan, and a painting for us."
When Zhiyu saw that they were talking about Guo Weidong's engagement, she listened carefully and smiled when she heard that it was almost the same thing.
After all, nobody wants to be talked about later, so I'm relieved now.
After hearing this, Zhiyu's parents nodded and their expressions returned to normal.
Seeing them like this, Mr. Lin sighed. The logic was sound, but he still didn't want his granddaughter to be unhappy.
"Alright, they're all pretty much the same. Zhiyu, you should be happy. Your stuff is pretty much the same too."
"Next time, behave properly, don't be so childish."
"I understand, Grandpa."
"Yes, Jianjun and the others aren't stupid. I know them best."
"I understand, Grandpa. To be honest, I'm quite happy right now. It's not that I care about the things, it's just that it was fair."
Jianjun and Chengcai were unaware of this matter in Old Master Lin's household, and the matter simply passed by.
Both the Xia and Lin families are quite satisfied now.
"Jianjun, I'm exhausted too. I still have five kids to take care of. It's worrying."
“What’s there to worry about? Once they’re all married, the two of us can go on a trip and experience a different kind of life. Let’s take advantage of our youth and work hard.”
"Well, I'm almost 40 years old, Jianjun. I just wish time would slow down."
"Wife, I see that you are no different from before. You are still the same as you were back then. Just live well in the present."
"Yes, that's life. If you choose one thing, you can't have the other."
"Yes, wife, don't think about these things. Today is a good day for our Zhuzi, so let's all be happy."
"Okay, I was just expressing my feelings on a whim."
