After learning that Ye Weiwei's husband was Huo Xiao, Zhang Changnian also gathered some information about Huo Xiao. Deep down, he was very satisfied with Huo Xiao.
Even knowing that Huo Xiao had a leg injury, Zhang Changnian felt only regret and nothing else.
He wasn't worried that Huo Xiao would be unable to protect Ye Weiwei because of this. With Huo Xiao's abilities, even if he only injured one leg or both legs were crippled and he couldn't walk, he would definitely not be a coward who couldn't even protect his own family.
But this trust is only given to Huo Xiao.
Born into a prestigious family, he knew that a happy marriage wasn't simply a matter of two people loving each other; it also depended on whether both families were harmonious.
This is why he rushed over immediately after hearing the news.
In his view, the other party's family could be poor, but the family members could not be ignorant, especially the elders.
On the way here, he had already decided that if the Huo family was the kind of family that favored sons over daughters and mistreated their daughters-in-law, no matter how outstanding Huo Xiao was, he would try his best to stop the marriage!
He absolutely refused to allow the only girl from the Ye and Zhang families to live such a life of torment and abuse by her in-laws in the countryside. Just thinking about it made him unable to control his anger.
Fortunately, the Huo family did not disappoint him.
But it's impossible to get him to agree to the marriage so readily!
After the meal, Liu Guilan brought up the marriage and the bride price, and then asked Zhang Changnian if he had any other requests.
When Zhang Changnian heard that Liu Guilan had prepared three turns and one sound, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Although he felt that no amount of dowry was too much for someone wanting to marry his beloved niece, he had seen the Huo family's situation today and never expected them to offer such a hefty dowry.
Although he was slightly satisfied, Zhang Changnian held back and did not agree on the spot, saying that he would talk to Ye Weiwei first.
Liu Guilan knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. The fact that the other party didn't object on the spot meant that there was a chance. She smiled and agreed, and then started talking about other things.
Most of what they talked about was Weiwei's life in Daqingshan Village during her rural assignment. They only mentioned the pleasant and interesting parts. When they talked about how Weiwei had taught people a lesson a few times and knocked out two teeth with one slap, Zhang Changnian couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "Weiwei has always been a straightforward person since she was little. We spoiled her."
But inwardly he cheered, "Well done!"
After chatting and laughing for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Changnian said goodbye, as they were going to stay at the town's guesthouse that night.
Ye Weiwei saw Zhang Changnian off, and the two chatted as they walked.
Before Zhang Changnian could ask, Ye Weiwei took the initiative to confess.
She knew that she couldn't hide her abnormalities from Zhang Changnian, so she had already prepared her explanation when she was giving Huo Xiao acupuncture.
She attributed all her abnormalities to that safety buckle.
Anyway, that safety buckle was a family heirloom.
However, she didn't mention that she had wood-type superpowers. Superpowers were too overpowered in this era, and she might be seen as an outcast. She didn't want to test people's hearts.
She only said that after the safety amulet was accidentally stained with her blood, she gained some medical knowledge, and her physical fitness improved significantly, and she became stronger.
Zhang Changnian took the safety amulet from Ye Weiwei's hand and looked at it, his eyes filled with surprise.
He recognized the safety buckle; it was indeed the family heirloom, though its color was much dimmer than before.
I never expected that such a wonderful opportunity was hidden in this safety buckle.
If Zhang Changnian hadn't witnessed Weiwei's acupuncture skills with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a bizarre thing could exist!
No wonder our ancestors always told us to keep this peace buckle as a family heirloom.
The thought that his father had given this safety buckle to Zhao Mingzhe as a token filled Zhang Changnian with lingering fear.
Fortunately, Weiwei got it back in time, and this opportunity didn't go to outsiders!
"Weiwei, who else knows about this?"
Seeing Zhang Changnian's solemn expression, Ye Weiwei also became serious. "Uncle, I didn't tell anyone else, I only told you."
Zhang Changnian's eyes showed relief, "Very good! Our Weiwei has grown up. Keep this to yourself, don't tell anyone else!"
The fewer people who know, the safer Vivi will be.
Ye Weiwei looked troubled. "But what about my parents..."
She didn't hide from her uncle that she planned to go to the Northwest to visit her family in a while. When Zhang Changnian heard that she was going with Huo Xiao and that Huo Xiao's leg would recover by then, he was very supportive.
The environment in the Northwest is harsh, and he is very worried about his sister, brother-in-law, and nephews. However, due to his sensitive status, he cannot get involved there. Weiwei has such abilities, and he can feel much more at ease if she goes there.
Zhang Changnian said, "Your parents won't ask too many questions. If they do, just pin the blame on me and try not to reveal anything. Your own safety is the most important thing."
Ye Weiwei nodded obediently in agreement.
Zhang Changnian frowned. "You've decided on Huo Xiao? He's so much older than you, and he's from the countryside. What exactly do you see in him?"
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "He's handsome!"
Zhang Changnian: ...
It's definitely the Zhang family's genes!
Zhang Changnian forced his lips down and said with a straight face, "Superficial! You can't eat your face!"
Ye Weiwei pouted, "Who said that? There's an old saying: 'Beauty is food for the eyes!' A pretty face can make you want to eat."
Zhang Changnian: "Have you ever heard of 'beauty is poisonous'? Be careful not to get scammed!"
Ye Weiwei chuckled and hugged Zhang Changnian's arm, "That doesn't sound true at all! Whoever told your uncle that must be jealous of your one-in-a-million good looks and is just spreading rumors!"
Zhang Changnian was both amused and annoyed. He poked Ye Weiwei's head and said, "You're making fun of me now! You're already protecting me before we're even married! Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his sweet words!"
Ye Weiwei took Huo Xiao's bankbook out of her pocket and showed it to Zhang Changnian, proudly boasting, "On the very first day we started dating, he gave me this bankbook. It's full of his bonuses from missions over the years. Huo Xiao is a million times better than that ungrateful wretch Zhao Mingzhe!"
Zhang Changnian glanced at the numbers on the screen, his expression softening slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little. "This kid knows what's good for him!"
With this money, Weiwei can live comfortably in the countryside for several years.
Thinking of Zhao Mingzhe and Ye Wanwan's affair, Zhang Changnian's eyes turned cold. "This grudge, your uncle will avenge!"
Ye Weiwei waved her hand, "No need, no need. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Uncle, you're the one who does big things. Leave these insignificant little shrimps to me!"
Zhang Changnian thought about it and then agreed.
With Huo Xiao protecting her in Daqingshan Village, his little niece shouldn't suffer any losses. Moreover, he could see that his little niece had grown a lot in the past few months in the countryside. Given the current situation of the Ye family, there were always times when he couldn't intervene effectively while he was in the army. It was time for Weiwei to learn how to handle some things, and these two people could be used as practice for her.
