Seeing Zheng Xinyue's face flushed and breathless as she spoke, it seemed like it was really true. However, Cheng Haoting, who had not witnessed the truth with her own eyes, was still skeptical: "If that's the case, why didn't you let me tell my family?"
"Because my sister said she wanted to give your elder brother a surprise, so she didn't let me tell your family." Zheng Xinyue said with a smile.
This concerns the eldest brother's future happy life. How can Cheng Haoting, who has always been pessimistic about their marriage, concentrate on listening to the class when she knows the news.
Zheng Xinyue repeatedly told herself not to tell Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng, but Cheng Haoting was very anxious!
Especially when he heard his father Cheng Dayu and mother Zhang Fengrong sighing about his eldest brother's marriage at the dinner table, he felt even more itchy.
"Why don't you eat anymore?" Zhang Fengrong said to Cheng Dayu who put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Cheng Dayu frowned slightly. "Seeing that our eldest son and that girl Xinyi's wedding is approaching, the more I think about it, the worse I feel. What sin did our Cheng family commit to deserve such a foolish daughter-in-law?"
"Dad, isn't the wedding still a week away?" Cheng Haoyang was met with a cold stare from Cheng Dayu the moment he finished speaking. He lowered his head quietly and muttered to himself, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Haoyang, how about we talk to the Zheng family and let Xinyi be your wife, okay?" Zhang Fengrong's tone of negotiation was not because she didn't love her second son, but because her eldest son was too outstanding, with such a good job and such a handsome appearance. It would always feel like a big stone was pressing on her heart if she asked him to marry a silly wife.
With a bang, Cheng Haoyang threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, his face full of displeasure: "Mom, even if you like big brother so much, you can't be so partial to him, right?"
Cheng Dayu cast a resentful look at Cheng Haoyang and casually responded, "I think your mother's idea is good. Your eldest brother is so busy training in the army that he has no time to care about Xinyi. If she marries you, you can take care of her at home."
"Grandpa specifically ordered Zheng Xinyi to marry my eldest brother. Besides, I have the skills to support myself. If you think I'm an eyesore in this family, I can leave." Cheng Haoyang stood up stubbornly, as if he was going to run away from home.
Cheng Haoting was anxious, staring at her father with wide eyes. Then she heard her father roar, "Enough! I'm not really asking you to marry Xinyi. I'm just discussing it with you. If you don't agree, forget it. Why are you so angry?"
Cheng Haoyu felt aggrieved, but since his father had spoken, he had to sit down reluctantly. He knew that if he took another step forward, his father would interrupt his eyes.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Cheng Haoting could no longer hold back. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said in a loud voice, "Dad, Mom, please don't embarrass my second brother. Let me tell you the truth! Zheng Xinyi is no longer stupid. Not only is she not stupid anymore, she has also learned to cook and read."
Cheng Dayu and Zhang Fengrong looked at each other in surprise. Cheng Haoyang looked completely unconvinced: "Little sister, who told you all this?"
"Zheng Xinyue said it herself, and she even showed me the math problems that Zheng Xinyi solved. I have verified that such neat notes are definitely not from Zheng Xinyue. And from Zheng Xinyue's description, I don't think she is lying." Cheng Haoting said seriously.
