Xiaofeng standing next to him also looked excited.
Ji Huaian had no objection to this, but he was a little worried...
"Mom, Dad, and Auntie, I think it's good like this now. We don't need to waste money on a wedding. On the one hand, Huai'an's appointment time is approaching, and we still have a lot to prepare. On the other hand, the college entrance examination will be soon, and I don't want to be distracted anymore. I want to study hard."
This was what Ji Huaian was worried about. He nodded in agreement when he heard Lin Jiaojiao say this herself: "Yeah, actually, the wedding is just a formality. We'll just give everyone some candy and have them move around more. Jiaojiao has been reviewing for so long. If she gets distracted at this moment, wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?"
When Zhang Xiao'e thought about how hard Lin Jiaojiao had been studying over the past year or so, she felt a little distressed and regretted bringing up this matter so hastily.
Father Lin was very concerned: "Are you starting to review again? Do you want to take the college entrance examination?"
"Yes, I have almost finished reviewing."
"Okay, that's a good thing! Jinbao, you should also follow your sister's example and review your previous lessons."
"Dad, don't worry. My sister gave me a lot of books. I've been studying hard. If I don't understand something, I go to the island and ask my sister. Now my grades are better than before!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiufen looked at Lin Jiaojiao with a bit more sincerity: "This is a good thing. We can postpone the wedding. The college entrance examination is a big deal. You and Jinbao should prepare well."
"Mom, I definitely can't do it this year. I still have a lot of new knowledge to learn. But my sister will definitely be fine! I can get into a good school next year too!"
“I have ambition, as for Jiaojiao, there will definitely be no problem!”
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's not talk about the wedding, let's take the exam first!"
After hearing what Zhang Xiaoe said, everyone stopped discussing this topic.
Father Lin grabbed his wine glass and took another swig.
He drank more than a dozen of these small glasses of wine, his cheeks turned red and his eyes began to become blurred.
"Lao Lin, no matter how happy you are, you can't drink like this. Stop drinking!"
"Give me back the cup!" Father Lin snatched the cup back from Li Qiufen unhappily. After glaring at him fiercely, he patted Ji Huaian's shoulder with a friendly look on his face: "I'm just happy to see such a good son-in-law! I just feel that this family is getting better and better, more and more hopeful, and I'm happy in my heart. Why can't I drink it?"
"Drink, of course I can! Don't I still miss you?"
"Hmph!" Father Lin snorted coldly, bought himself another cup, guzzled it down, and looked at Lin Jiaojiao not far away, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness: "Xiao Ji, you don't know how sad Dad is!"
"I know it's not easy for you to raise two children over the years."
"No! You don't know..." Father Lin's eyes were red as he fiercely stabbed his chest. His voice trembled as he said, "I actually know everything. Lin Jiaojiao is sensible. She has been sensible since she was young and never let me worry about anything. Her mother passed away early, and I, a man, don't know how to raise a child. Later... I know that I neglected her over the years. There were some things that I turned a blind eye to because I was afraid of trouble. She suffered so much!"
Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Li Qiufen, whose face was dark blue.
I really didn't expect that Lin's father would say these words.
Of course, Li Qiufen was also quite shocked, but more of it was anger.
What does this mean?
In front of her son-in-law and his family, she said that her stepmother was mistreating her daughter?
Thinking of this, she quickly picked up the wine, poured him another glass, and forced a smile, saying, "Yes, I was also a virgin when I married you. After all, I had no experience in raising children. I really didn't take good care of Jiaojiao before, and later this girl left me. Alas, Jiaojiao, I'm really sorry!"
"I'm sorry for the child!"
Father Lin looked up at Lin Jiaojiao, tears on his face: "Jiaojiao, seeing you like this now, Dad is really happy. When I think about how your aunt found you a baby, my heart is like a knife."
“Ahem!”
Li Qiufen's heart trembled when she heard this, and she kept glancing at Ji Huaian and Zhang Xiaoe's faces, fearing that they would be unhappy.
This damn Old Lin, after drinking some cat urine, he loses control of his mouth!
"You're just worrying about nothing. What did I say? Our mother-in-law and Ji Huaian are both good people. Look how well they've raised our Jiaojiao. What a happy life we have!"
"Yes, I'm living a happy life. Unlike before, when I was starving at home and became pale and skinny, with neither good food nor good sleep, a girl wouldn't even have a complete room when she got married."
"Home, home is too small..."
"Yes, that's right!" Before Li Qiufen could say anything, Lin Jinbao slammed the table and staggered to his feet. "Sister is so pitiful. She was bullied so badly at home. I was such a bastard before. I knew where mom hid the good stuff, but I never gave her any. I even believed mom's words and thought she had ulterior motives towards me. Later, I realized that your sister was the best person in the world to me. I'm so sorry to your sister. From now on, I'm going to give your room to you!"
Li Qiufen's face was completely frozen.
If what Lao Lin said just now made her walk on thin ice and there was still some room for maneuver, then the words of her own son were like a bolt from the blue, forcing her into a dead end.
These two men really know what it means to sabotage someone else!
I guess it was mainly because I felt relieved when I saw this scene.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao'e couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to smooth things over, thus resolving the embarrassing situation.
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Dabao in her arms, whose eyes could barely open and whose little head was nodding, and felt a little distressed: "I think everyone has almost finished eating, why don't we go home? It's time for the children to go to bed."
Seeing that Xiaoxue and Xiaofeng were also very sleepy, Ji Huaian nodded and said, "Auntie Dad, let's go first."
"Leave? Where to go? Stay here, stay home!"
"Don't worry, Dad. Everything has been arranged. We are so crowded that we won't bother you at home. We are staying at a nearby guesthouse, not far away at all!"
Li Qiufen was worried when she heard what Lao Lin said!
Hearing Ji Huaian say this, I felt a little relieved.
The place at home is so small that it’s hard to even cook for the four of them.
Now Lin Jiaojiao and her family can’t fit in at all.
So without waiting for Father Lin to say anything, he immediately stepped forward and said, "How can this be possible? Even if we really do stay at the guesthouse, you can't arrange it. You don't have to worry about anything once we get home. Come on, I'll go and pay the bill!"
"Really, no need. We filed a report this time, so all of this can be reimbursed without having to pay."
"Is that so? That's all right then. I'm relieved then."
