After exchanging a fruitless glance with Zhou Wen, Xu Manzhi decided to knock on the door and ask the elderly couple for their thoughts in person.
She had thought about this a long time ago.
To achieve revolutionary progress, we must gain the approval of the elderly.
Although she had heard countless times from those around her that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were natural enemies.
But she didn't want to give up so soon.
She had a strong vision: before everything settled down, there were plenty of opportunities.
Unless Yan Lin and his parents are mortal enemies.
Never mind then.
Otherwise, she would want to take the initiative.
Just as she reached out to knock, the wooden door was suddenly ripped open.
Clang!
Yan Zhouzhen and Wang Cuier stood together inside the doorway, then stepped over the threshold together, reaching out their hands to Xu Manzhi and excitedly calling out, "Daughter-in-law, my name is Yan Zhouzhen (Wang Cuier)—"
this……
Xu Manzhi was a little confused.
Before she could speak, her arm was grabbed by four hands and shaken violently.
"Haha, I was blind just now... ah, ah, no, I'm old and my eyes are failing me, Zhi Ling... ah, no, no, I'm getting senile, don't take it to heart." Yan Zhouzhen stammered.
He wouldn't let go.
They were afraid of hurting the delicate young girl, who was as tender as a flower bud, but they also worried that the girl might think they weren't warm enough and didn't like their daughter-in-law...
Beneath the loose-fitting trousers, her two legs swayed as softly as noodles.
He seemed to be in a dream, laughing foolishly.
Wang Cuier gently nudged the old man with her shoulder and complained, "You should let go of her hand. Her hand will hurt from your grip. Your hands are covered in hangnails, they'll burn you."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Yan Zhouzhen quickly let go.
As soon as he let go, he pulled his wife's arm away again and scolded, "Your hands are just as rough, let go of me now."
Wang Cuier was still a little dizzy.
She grinned and kept laughing, more than she had ever laughed in her entire life, so frequently that the corners of her mouth ached. Her eyes were squinted for a long time, still somewhat incredulous.
She smiled and asked, "Young lady, is your name really Xu Manzhi, and Yan Lin's girlfriend?"
"yes."
Xu Manzhi nodded obediently.
She put on a timid, submissive act, smiled with narrowed eyes, and was gentle and sweet, like a virtuous and gentle woman, captivating the couple so much that they lost all sense of direction.
Yan Zhouzhen: This, this beautiful young woman... she really is that ugly guy's wife. Is he dreaming?
Wang Cuier: Young lady... you're a bit wronged. You're not missing any limbs, and you're so handsome. What kind of man wouldn't be good enough for you? How could she have fallen for my Lin'er?
Zhou Wen couldn't help but laugh.
He said, "Uncle, Aunt, she is Comrade Xu Manzhi, Yan Lin's girlfriend."
"Why didn't you say so sooner? It's all your fault!" Yan Zhouzhen scolded harshly.
"..." Zhou Wen.
He wanted to speak, but every time before he could open his mouth, Yan Zhouzhen would glare at him with a fierce look, blocking his chance time and time again.
“I’m telling you, if you lose my daughter-in-law, I’ll go to your Zhou family’s ancestral graves and cry.” Yan Zhouzhen added insult to injury.
this……
Zhou Wen wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Quick, quick, don't stand outside talking. There's water inside. Manzhi has walked all the way without having a sip of water yet. Don't let her get thirsty," Wang Cuier hurriedly urged.
"Yes, yes, yes, come inside quickly."
Although it wasn't their house, it was still a guesthouse. There was a kettle and cups inside, and they had already washed it with wood ash, just waiting to entertain Xu Manzhi.
As soon as Xu Manzhi entered, she saw more than a dozen bundles laid out on the ground, as well as a bunch of live small animals.
She was incredibly curious.
Traveling across several provinces, these two elderly people were carrying so much stuff, including poultry that kept flying away... It's amazing.
Upon seeing her bright eyes, Yan Zhouzhen rushed to the chicken with its legs tied, picked it up, and said to Xu Manzhi, "Girl, this is what we brought for you to eat. Look, they've been free-range in the fields for two or three years, and they're all very healthy."
As he spoke, he picked up the kitten as if presenting it as a treasure.
"This is the kitten of the resilient cat. It's a stray cat that Rin'er took in from the mountains a while ago. Her stomach was ripped open by a wolfhound, and her intestines were spilling out. We thought she was going to die, but Rin'er saved her. She gave birth to a kitten this year, and I brought it here especially. I don't know if you'll like it..."
The village veterinarian said that Xiao Hei shouldn't be pregnant, but she was, and after many hardships, she gave birth to a baby.
He thought it was a good omen.
Furthermore, because Xiao Hei, like Yan Lin, had a difficult life and was the only kitten that accompanied his son through the dark years, he insisted on bringing it along despite his family's objections.
But he was also very uneasy.
If Lin'er's boyfriend dislikes them, thinking they are country bumpkins with unreliable and low-class tastes, he would be a little hesitant.
Wow, what an adorable kitten!
Xu Manzhi took the little black cat in her arms, looked at it again and again, and then hugged it with a big smile. She gently tapped the little black cat's nose, which made it meow.
"Manzhi, you, you like Zaizai?" Wang Cuier asked incredulously.
My husband wants to take the cat with him, but she disagrees.
Who gives a cat as a gift on the first date?
"Yes, I like it very much. This cat looks just like Yan Lin. It's a black little ball of fur and it's so cute," Xu Manzhi said with a big smile.
Cool.
A taut string in Wang Cuier's heart snapped, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She smiled slightly, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked as she said, "It's good that you like it, it's good that you like it..."
