When they met, Zhou Ping was slightly surprised.
A man who bore a striking resemblance to Chu Changliu was lying in a rocking chair. Upon hearing the noise outside the hall, he lifted his eyelids and looked in their direction.
"It's Changliu. Did you bring a friend?" He raised an eyebrow and subtly glanced at Zhou Ping, who was standing next to Chu Changliu.
Chu Changliu smiled at him, "Father, this is the wife I found."
Chu Yunqi: ? ? !
Chu Yunqi's eyes widened, and he pointed incredulously at Zhou Ping, who was standing next to Chu Changliu, with the folding fan in his hand. He opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to finally utter a sentence.
"That's good... How come it looks like a boy?" He examined Zhou Ping closely for a while, then said, somewhat bewildered, "It's a boy?!"
Chu Changliu smiled shyly.
Zhou Ping nervously handed over the bouquet, then mustered his courage and called out, "Father-in-law..."
Chu Yunqi took the flowers from them, walked around the two of them twice, sniffed them carefully, and asked in surprise, "You two are together?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Chu Changliu said, sticking out his neck.
Chu Yunqi frowned deeply. "But your mother said I should find you a wife! Have you forgotten what your mother said?"
Chu Changliu continued to argue stubbornly, "Why can't a man be a wife? I not only see him as my wife, I can be him!"
Zhou Ping quietly turned his face away, his eyebrows curving slightly.
"Besides, I don't need you to find one for me. You've been searching for eight hundred years and haven't found one yet... I'll find one myself!" Chu Changliu insisted on arguing even when he was in the wrong.
Chu Yunqi: ...
"No... I can't agree to this." Chu Yunqi shook his head firmly and put the flowers back into Zhou Ping's arms.
“Boy, we parents were wrong to do this. I can accept any compensation you want, but you two... can’t be together.”
Zhou Ping never expected to be rejected on his first meeting with his father-in-law.
However, Chu Yunqi's gaze was unusually gentle, so Zhou Ping decided to try again. He asked with some doubt, "Senior Chu, may I ask why?"
Chu Changliu grabbed his hand suddenly, somewhat annoyed, "No need to ask, he's just gone mad!"
"You didn't find your wife, why are you so concerned!" Every word he said made sense, and he didn't hesitate to contradict his own father. "We've already slept together!"
Chu Yunqi was so angry he almost fainted. "What??? You two already???"
Seeing Zhou Ping's flushed face and the ambiguous expression between him and Chu Changliu, Chu Yunqi fell silent.
"Well... let your father do a divination and ask your mother first!" Chu Yunqi took a deep breath, glared at the two of them, and turned to get the copper coins.
Zhou Ping never expected that his father-in-law would have a hobby of fortune telling.
However, he was extremely unwilling to entrust his and his wife's relationship to a few coins and leave it to fate.
"Let him do the calculations," Chu Changliu said, squeezing his hand and giving him a gentle smile.
For some reason, Zhou Ping felt that his green eyes held more water than usual.
Before he could even think about why, he had already agreed, "Okay."
After taking the six copper coins, Chu Yunqi whispered to them for a while.
Then he tossed the coin like that.
Watching the copper coin he tossed into the sky, Zhou Ping prayed frantically in his heart.
The eighth hexagram is Bi (比), which is composed of water and earth, with Kun (坤) below and Kan (坎) above.
They were in love and their union was made in heaven.
After looking at it, Chu Yunqi reached out and took the flowers that he had just stuffed back into Zhou Ping's hand. "I was just speaking too loudly. Since she has agreed, I have nothing to say."
Not only did they take back the flowers they had pushed out, but they even changed how they addressed them.
The speed at which they changed their tune was astonishing.
Seeing this, Zhou Ping nodded. He hadn't expected that even God was on his side this time, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Changliu coughed twice, "Father, you've scared my wife!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunqi quickly looked at Zhou Ping apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I apologize!"
After apologizing, he muttered a couple of sentences under his breath, "Honestly, you said you wanted a girl before, but now you think a boy would be fine too..."
Remembering how he had harshly rejected Zhou Ping before, Chu Yunqi was afraid of scaring him away, so he very bluntly took out a pile of gold and silver treasures and handed them to Zhou Ping.
“Since you use a sword, I don’t know much about it… But I do have some money, so these spirit stones are just right for you to buy materials for forging a sword! It’s also a token of my and her affection…” Chu Yunqi showed off the pile of gold and silver treasures, then put them into his storage ring and handed them to Zhou Ping. “Consider these our meeting gift, don’t be shy!”
Zhou Ping held the storage ring, slightly stunned. He was about to refuse when Chu Yunqi's next question made him freeze on the spot.
"When are you two getting married?" Chu Yunqi coughed twice, adopting the air of an elder, "Our Changliu family isn't getting any younger..."
Zhou Ping never expected happiness to come so suddenly.
Just a second ago, he was about to be kicked out of the house by his father-in-law, and the next second, his father-in-law asked him when he was going to marry his son!
This is a huge shock.
Zhou Ping was almost overwhelmed by the sudden happiness.
"It still depends on what Yan Yan thinks," Zhou Ping said, feeling a bit dizzy, and first turned his gaze to Chu Changliu standing to the side.
Seeing that both of their gazes were on him, Chu Changliu blinked and said, "I haven't decided yet..."
"Haven't thought it through? You brought people to see your father without thinking it through?" Chu Yunqi said with a look of exasperation, lecturing loudly, "The worst thing for a god is not thinking things through. It's okay if you don't think it through for a day, but what if your wife runs away after you've been thinking it through for too long?"
Chu Changliu was startled upon hearing this, then shouted back, "Father, it was me who ran away! I ran away several times!"
He even seemed a little smug when he said that.
Chu Yunqi closed his eyes; he simply couldn't bear to look.
Zhou Ping pursed his lips and stared at the back of Chu Changliu's head with a resentful look.
wrong.
Chu Yunqi seemed to suddenly realize something, his fox-like body trembling. "Wait, you really became someone's wife?"
"Yeah, did you think I was joking when I just told you?" Chu Changliu didn't understand why his own father would ask such a question.
He clearly explained it very well.
Chu Yunqi's chest heaved violently for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea; he almost collapsed again. "You..."
"Didn't your mother say she taught you well?", and you ended up being a bottom?
