Chapter 71 A New Look
But her sense of responsibility as a mother and traditional values made it difficult for her to accept such a girl.
"Uncle, Auntie!"
A clear and gentle voice rang out.
It was Qiao Wanyin, who had come with them, who stepped forward.
"These are some small tokens of our parents' love. Please accept them and don't be offended by them."
As she spoke, she slowly squatted down and carefully untied the large package she had brought.
"This packet of tea is top-quality spring tea, picked and processed by myself, perfect for Uncle's daily consumption; and this jar of homemade loquat syrup is great for Aunt's, as it soothes the throat and relieves coughs. And these last two pieces of fabric..."
She paused slightly, her tone becoming even gentler.
"It was specially saved for my younger sister at home; it should be enough to make her a new set of clothes."
It turns out that Lin Li'an has a young and adorable younger sister.
Unfortunately, I am not at home right now and cannot join today's gathering.
Even so, Qiao Wanyin still took her younger sister into careful consideration.
Lin Yuanfeng, who had been standing silently to the side, had already suppressed his anger when he saw his son openly contradicting his wife.
It could erupt at any time, prompting a few reprimands to set a good example for the family.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was on edge, Qiao Wanyin took out gifts from her bag one by one and gently placed them on the table.
His words were sincere and moving, and his demeanor was graceful and appropriate.
Lin Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young girl in front of him.
Although Qiao Wanyin came from a small rural village, she did not receive much formal education.
But her attitude towards things is surprisingly good.
Not only was she polite and considerate of the occasion, but she was also able to calmly deal with Su Yufeng's cold expression without the slightest panic, fear, or anger.
Instead, she always maintained a graceful and poised demeanor, which naturally earned her a good impression.
He doesn't seem to be someone who easily panics or loses his composure.
"Aunt!"
She quickly stepped forward and moved a few steps closer to Su Yufeng.
"Please don't be angry, I really understand how you feel."
Su Yufeng stood there silently, her lips pressed tightly together, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Qiao Wanyin naturally noticed the wariness in the other person's eyes.
But she remained calm and composed, with a genuine smile on her face.
“I believe that no one in the world knows him better than you. Lian is truly outstanding.”
She paused briefly, looked at Su Yufeng with sincere eyes, and added word by word, "He is smart, serious, insightful and thoughtful in his work. He is a rare and outstanding young man in the eyes of others."
Upon hearing these words, a subtle change quietly occurred in Su Yufeng's heart.
Of course!
My child has always been the most admired child in the village since he was little.
"So what if you're outstanding... you're still bewitched by a woman like you, aren't you?"
She was about to complain, but before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Qiao Wanyin's voice.
“Auntie, please think about it carefully,” Qiao Wanyin continued unhurriedly, “Would someone as outstanding as Lin Li’an really make such a mistake when it comes to such an important matter as choosing his life partner?”
Hmph, trying to belittle me?
That's an indirect denial of the son you're so proud of!
Dear mother-in-law, are you willing to do this?
"this……"
Su Yufeng opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't find the right words to refute her.
He was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
This girl is too quick-witted.
With just a few casual words, he pushed her into an awkward situation.
No matter how you refute it, it seems you have no point.
Lin Li'an stood aside quietly watching all of this, a hint of a smile that he couldn't hide flashing deep in his eyes.
That smile was fleeting, and only those who knew him well could catch it.
He had initially worried that Qiao Wanyin would be at a loss in the face of her mother's pressure, and might even be forced to retreat step by step.
But unexpectedly, this usually gentle girl's counterattack was so sharp.
Every word was polite, and not an inch of land was yielded.
Lin Yuanfeng looked at his daughter-in-law with gentle eyes, feeling increasingly satisfied.
Although she was not highly educated and had not read many books.
But his words were perfectly tactful.
It is both measured and methodical.
If it were any other girl, she would probably have been terrified and panicked.
But she showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she spoke with increasing composure and strength, making people look at her with new respect.
She's such a good girl, it's so rare!
This is exactly the kind of person the Lin family needs!
"Yu Feng".
Lin Yuanfeng spoke in a gentle tone.
"The children have walked such a long way, they must be very hungry. Go and prepare something for them to eat!"
Su Yufeng paused for a moment, stared wide-eyed at her husband, and asked in surprise, "Old Lin, what did you say? Did I hear that right?"
She had originally hoped that Lin Yuanfeng would stand by her side and help her persuade her son to break off the engagement.
Little did she know that things would develop in a way that was completely beyond her expectations.
Not only did he not object, he even wanted his daughter-in-law to stay for dinner.
Lin Yuanfeng coughed lightly, his tone remaining calm.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to the kitchen."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, gently tugged at his wife's arm, and led her directly into the kitchen.
As soon as she entered the kitchen and closed the door, Su Yufeng couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Old Lin, what's wrong with you? Don't you object to our son marrying a girl from the countryside?"
Lin Yuanfeng turned around and looked at his wife's anxious expression.
"Ultimately, children have to live their own lives. Do you think we can keep interfering forever?"
He then added, "And I think Xiao Qiao is a pretty good girl. She has a very down-to-earth personality and gets along very well with your son, A Dong!"
Su Yufeng frowned deeply, looking incredulous, and said, "Are you confused? How are they a good match? Besides being a little pretty, what else does she have that makes our Lin family consider her a daughter-in-law? Do you think we can live our lives based solely on looks?"
"Getting married isn't about choosing a pretty face; it's about settling down and building a life together. Do you think she's capable of that?"
Su Yufeng's tone was slightly dissatisfied, indicating that she did not have a high opinion of her future daughter-in-law.
"How can you say he's not a good person for everyday life? That's too hasty of you."
Su Yufeng paused for a moment, and Lin Yuanfeng continued.
“It’s true that Xiao Qiao didn’t have much formal education. But have you noticed that she’s more reasonable and has a broader perspective than many educated girls? This kind of quality can’t be taught from books.”
“That Xiao Qiao is clearly a girl from the countryside,” Su Yufeng retorted, not to be outdone, “but why did you give her such a cold shoulder from the start? And how did she handle it?”
"Others would probably have started arguing heatedly after you said such nasty things, but what about Xiao Qiao?"
Lin Yuanfeng raised his voice slightly, but a look of appreciation appeared on his face.
