Her heart was racing, she felt helpless, and her mind was a complete blank. She didn't know what to do next. This was Zhang Qian's clearest feeling at that moment.
The old lady pulled her to sit down, and sitting opposite her was Old Man Xu. Zhang Qian stood up straight like a student. If the old lady hadn't been holding her hand, she probably would have obediently put her hands behind her back.
"Don't be nervous, child."
Well, the old lady isn't completely oblivious to everything.
But the more nervous Zhang Qian felt, the more nervous she became. After all, it was her first time meeting her in-laws, and she was only doing so after having such a big son.
Before coming, Zhang Qian had already considered that as long as her uncle and aunt didn't get angry, everything would be fine. But to her surprise, the two elderly people didn't get angry at all, which was great, leaving Zhang Qian feeling somewhat at a loss.
Because apart from those two big men, no one had ever treated Zhang Qian so well in her life. When her biological parents were alive, they doted on her younger siblings. After her parents passed away, Zhang Qian, who was not very close to her siblings to begin with, was ostracized and bullied even more, to the point that she left her hometown alone after having a child.
The old lady gently patted Zhang Qian's hand to comfort and encourage her.
Zhang Qian gradually calmed down and smiled gratefully at the old lady.
At this moment, Old Man Xu spoke up again: "Old woman, pour some water for the child."
"Oh dear, look at me, I forgot all about it." With that, the old lady turned and walked quickly toward the kitchen.
Zhang Qian initially thought it was fine, she wasn't thirsty, and there was no need for such trouble. Xu Yuezhang walked in, shook his head at Zhang Qian, and then said:
"My mom is very willing, so please don't refuse, otherwise she will be unhappy."
Huh? Is that even possible? Zhang Qian was clearly suspicious, but she couldn't say anything for the time being, so she stared at the man with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Xu Yuezhang chuckled, sat down to the side, and then put Zhouzhou on his lap: "Dad, shouldn't we have the wedding?"
Pfft, Zhang Qian almost knelt down in disbelief. Was it really necessary to be in such a hurry about this issue?
Old Man Xu nodded in agreement: "Has the report been submitted?" he asked.
"We'll call right away, and it'll be done before tonight." Ah, soon he'll be able to enjoy a warm bed with his wife and kids again; Old Xu was incredibly excited.
Old Man Xu pondered for a moment and said, "You'll be going to X Province in three days. There won't be time to hold the wedding here. How about this, we'll treat the people in the troupe to a simple meal, and the wedding will still be held in X Province."
Old Man Xu's method is indeed very feasible.
Xu Yuezhang naturally had no objections, and Zhang Qian had even fewer.
The old lady brought out a cup of hot tea, having overheard the old man's words: "Yes, let's do it this way. A simple meal will be a way to thank the people in the troupe for taking care of our Yuezhang all these years."
Throughout the entire event, Zhang Qian never interrupted on any questions about the wedding. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved; she genuinely never expected there would be a wedding.
After all, the child is already so grown up. I thought that getting a marriage certificate would be the end of it.
At this moment, Zhouzhou grasped the key question: "Mom, are you getting married?"
Um... why does this sentence feel a bit strange?
Zhang Qian's lips twitched; for a moment, she didn't know how to talk to her son. Finally, Old Xu came to Zhang Qian's rescue, turning his son around so they were face to face.
"Zhouzhou, are you happy that Mommy and Daddy are together?" I asked solemnly.
