With the support of Han Yixian and He Yuhan, Liang Shouzhen felt more confident, believing that Laohewan would become increasingly prosperous.
After Han Yixian and his group returned from the fields, Liu Zhongyi went back to the city with them, leaving the house in the care of Du Lianqiao and his wife.
The journey was smooth, and when they arrived home, Han Xiao and his wife were playing with their eldest grandson.
Han Xiao and his wife were very happy to see that Liu Zhongyi had finally come to live in the city, and Wen Jinyu was also relieved.
Wen Jinyu felt that her older brother was getting old and had a heart condition, so there was a high possibility that he might have a sudden illness. The medical conditions in the countryside were also poor, and she was very worried about her brother living alone in the countryside. She thought that if he lived with them, they could take care of each other and everyone would feel at ease.
Besides, these are special times, it's best for the family to stay together.
Everyone was delighted when Liu Zhongyi arrived, and He Yuhan personally cooked to celebrate their family reunion.
While the Han family welcomed Liu Zhongyi's arrival, He family member Yu Huiru was most concerned about her son's marriage prospects.
Upon hearing her husband say that the Liang family fully agreed to the marriage between their second son and Liang Jingyun, Yu Huiru beamed with joy. "That's great! My second son's marriage is finally settled, and I can finally relax."
I also really like Jingyun. She's a very well-behaved girl, yet lively and cheerful. She would be perfect as our daughter-in-law.
"Oh my, I never imagined we'd become in-laws with the Liang family! Now our two families are even closer than before!"
He Chenglin laughed and said, "Actually, Shouzheng has long had his eye on the second brother, but he didn't dare to mention it because of our family background. Shouzheng is not a scheming person. I chose him because he was honest, righteous, and not stupid."
That's why we've been through so many life-and-death situations together. If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have come back to our hometown.
Even if his family is poor, I wouldn't care. We're like brothers who would die for each other.
Jingyun is his daughter. I actually had the idea of arranging a marriage between our two families, but I was afraid that Zhendong wouldn't agree, so I never brought it up. Now it's perfect, Zhendong liking Jingyun is exactly what I wanted.
I'm happy today, I'm going to have a couple of drinks tonight.
Yu Huiru was in a good mood today and was willing to accommodate her husband's request, laughing and saying, "I think you're just using this as an excuse to drink. Alright, drinking is for tonight. Zhendong is definitely waiting for your good news. You should give him a call so he can rest assured."
He Chenglin laughed and said, "That kid will definitely be overjoyed when he hears this good news."
He Chenglin immediately made a phone call to He Zhendong's office.
Upon receiving his father's call, He Zhendong eagerly asked, "Dad, how did it go? Did Uncle Liang agree?"
He Chenglin laughed and said, "Look how anxious you are, kid. Do you think I'll personally take charge? Your Uncle Liang has long had his eye on you. When I mentioned that you would be their son-in-law, your Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang were overjoyed. How could they possibly disagree?"
I've already spoken with your Uncle Liang. Next weekend, I'll take your mother and you to the Liang family to formally propose marriage. You should also get ready and come home this weekend to go to Laohewan with us.
He Zhendong's eyes narrowed with delight as he said, "I'll go home the night before, and then we'll go to Laohewan together this weekend. Thank you, Dad."
He Chenglin laughed and said, "You even know to thank me now. Work hard and make sure you have all the work arranged when you get back."
After hanging up the phone, He Chenglin laughed, "Look how happy this kid is. The mischievous boy from before is now at the age to settle down and start a family. Time really flies!"
Yu Huiru sighed, "Yes, our daughter has already given us a grandson. Time flies. It's just a pity that Yuhan got married before she could stay at home for two years. I haven't had enough time to be close to my daughter."
He Chenglin said, "I'm the same way. But Yixian still has the same enthusiasm as his in-laws. If we keep stopping them from getting married, Yixian will have to come to our house every day."
Yu Huiru laughed and said, "He's afraid that Yuhan will be snatched away by someone else, and he'll lose his wife. Don't forget that Zhendong once said he wanted Xicheng to be his brother-in-law. Sigh, Xicheng is still single now, which isn't good either."
Now that the second son's marriage is settled, we should also make some arrangements for Xicheng. Fengyun called me a few days ago, saying that he didn't go to meet the girl his family introduced to Xicheng during the New Year, and came back early.
She's also worried about Xicheng's marriage and asked us to help her find a suitable girl to introduce to him.
Xi Cheng and Zhen Dong are about the same age, so Feng Yun must be even more anxious about Zhen Dong's marriage.
He Chenglin said, "Then you can keep an eye out and see which families have suitable girls to introduce to you."
Yu Huiru sighed and said, "Sigh, I reckon Xicheng hasn't found a partner because he hasn't gotten over Yuhan yet. Back then, Zhendong kept saying that Xicheng should be his brother-in-law, and I also thought Xicheng would be a good candidate for our family's son-in-law, so I didn't say anything. I guess Xicheng was serious about it back then."
Who knew so many things would happen later, and Yuhan eventually married Yixian. Although Xicheng didn't say anything, I could tell that the child was hurt, and he must be feeling incredibly sad inside.
He hasn't looked for a partner or gotten married, and that makes me feel bad too.
He Chenglin frowned and said, "You should ask Zhendong to persuade him more. Yuhan is already married, and there's no future for him and Yuhan. They never even started anything. He should let go as soon as possible, otherwise he'll only suffer."
It's a real pity that Xicheng is such a good child, but we only have one daughter, and her happiness is the most important thing.
"You should ask around and introduce Xicheng to someone who's no worse than Yuhan."
Yu Huiru said with a worried expression, "You make it sound so easy. You say you want to find someone no worse than Yuhan, but you yourself think that's impossible, right?"
"I'm not trying to brag about our daughter, but a girl like Yuhan is outstanding in every way, with impeccable character—a rare find indeed. Otherwise, would someone like Yixian, with his circumstances, have been so insistent on marrying Yuhan?"
He Chenglin said, "Yes, it's very difficult for a man to accept settling for someone else after he's met the best. But what can we do? Yuhan is already married and has a child. Xicheng can't stay single like this."
Yuhan probably doesn't know Xicheng's feelings, so don't mention it to her, lest you cause her unnecessary worry. Let's all put in more effort and try our best to find Xicheng a good match.
Yu Huiru nodded and said, "That's the only way. I'll cook two good dishes tonight. Have Qi Shen come home with Zhenhua for dinner, and you and your fathers can have a couple of drinks together."
He Chenglin chuckled and said, "Oh dear, my son has some good news, and I'm also getting a chance to have a little drink."
Yu Huiru glared at He Chenglin and said, "You've only just recovered, and Yuhan said you need to take good care of yourself. I'm just thinking about your health."
He Chenglin quickly flattered her, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right. I will obey her without question."
