Hearing Zhong Wenjin's question, Zhong Zheng thought that there was nothing to hide. Her parents would know about this sooner or later anyway, so she might as well say it herself.
"Mom and Dad, I want to see if there is a suitable candidate in the countryside, and then recruit him to be our son-in-law."
Hearing Zhong Zheng's words, Lin Manxiang's eyes suddenly became moist. "Zheng Zheng, it's all because of Mommy that I've let you down. If Mommy wasn't useless, you wouldn't have fallen to the point of looking for someone in the countryside! You deserve better than this."
Zhong Wenjin also chimed in: "Zheng Zheng, we've all let it go over the years. Just find a good man to marry. Don't think about finding someone else."
When Zhong Zheng heard this, she would have believed it to be true if she hadn't seen her parents' gradually graying hair and sad expressions.
"Don't try to persuade me anymore. It's useless for anyone to say anything about my decision. I've decided to be your son-in-law."
Zhong Wenjin and Lin Manxiang both knew that Zhong Zheng insisted on marrying a son-in-law for their own sake, but their daughter deserved better and should not sacrifice her lifelong happiness for them.
Seeing that her parents wanted to say something, Zhong Zheng quickly told them to shut up, she didn't want to listen anymore.
Unable to change their daughter's mind, the two men had no choice but to shut up and return to their hometown with their daughter, who had not been back to the countryside for several years.
Zhong Zheng looked at the large and small bags in her hands and felt unhappy: "Mom and Dad, why did you send so many things? Their family won't be in a good mood just because we sent so many things."
This was also one of the reasons why Zhong Zheng was reluctant to go to her grandmother's house in the countryside. She had given you so many things, so if you couldn't take care of them, you should at least be nice to them, right? But in the end, she just had a sour face, as if her family owed him something.
Since no matter how much she gave him, he would always have a sour face, Zhong Zheng thought it would be better not to give him anything at all! After all, her second and third uncles didn't give her anything and still made her grandmother smile.
Lin Manxiang pinched Zhong Zheng without using much force. If she hadn't seen her mother pinching her, Zhong Zheng would have thought that no one had touched her.
Lin Manxiang looked at her grown-up daughter with a heart full of relief. However, thinking of what Zhong Zheng had just said, she warned, "Don't say that carelessly! After all, she is your grandmother."
Zhong Zheng curled her lips and muttered unconvincedly, "I've never seen a grandmother like her who doesn't feel inferior."
Lin Manxiang's tone became more serious: "...Zhong...Zheng!"
Zhong Zheng quickly surrendered, "Mom, I understand. I will definitely listen to you and not say anything nonsense."
After saying that, he looked at his father who was walking beside him and pointed at him and said, "Dad can testify."
Zhong Wenjin found it a little funny. When did this turmoil involve him? But after all, she was his own daughter whom he had watched grow up. Zhong Wenjin's feelings for Zhong Zheng were no less than Lin Manxiang's.
On the contrary, he had been criticized by his wife several times for his unbridled behavior of spoiling his daughter, and this time was no exception.
"Yes, yes, yes! I can testify that Zheng Zheng will never talk nonsense again."
Lin Manxiang rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Whatever Zheng Zheng says is right to you."
Zhong Wenjin chuckled and stopped his wife: "Your words are always right to me."
Lin Manxiang's face instantly turned red like an apple, and she pulled away Zhong Wenjin's hand from her shoulders: "We're walking! How can you behave like that?"
Zhong Zheng watched the interaction between her parents and felt a sweet feeling in her heart. How wonderful! The relationship between her parents was still so good, and it had not been destroyed by the words of outsiders.
Because there was only one bicycle at home, Zhong Wenjin and Lin Manxiang would usually just ride their bicycles over if Zhong Zheng didn't go. But today, with Zhong Zheng being there, they couldn't ride the bicycles.
Because their hometown was not far from the town, it would only take 20 to 30 minutes to walk there, so the three of them just walked there.
When the three of them arrived, the yard was already bustling with laughter and joy, and it looked very lively.
However, when the three of them stepped in, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and there was no trace of the laughter and joy just now.
Zhong Zheng raised an eyebrow. Wow! So their house has this function that can mute people in one second! This is better than a speaker.
When Mrs. Zhong saw her youngest son and daughter-in-law, her heart, which had just been happy, suddenly sank to the bottom. It was really a bummer, and she felt annoyed looking at these people.
Feeling annoyed, Mrs. Zhong immediately frowned: "Why did you come at this time? I thought you had forgotten about me, your mother!"
Zhong Zheng didn't want to stand there and listen to the scolding, so she held up the bags in her hands and said, "Grandma, do you still want this?"
Even though she hadn't seen her granddaughter for several years, Mrs. Zhong knew she was the little girl from back then as soon as she saw her. She was so young, yet she dared to point at her nose and scold her for being disrespectful to the elderly, and she said she would suffer retribution in the future.
Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she beat up her granddaughter, whom she had always disliked.
After beating him up, the troublemaker never came back, which made Old Lady Zhong feel that this was a good idea: out of sight, out of mind.
I don't know why I thought of this place today. I feel annoyed when I see it. Look at what this person is saying. Who would send a gift to someone else's home and ask them if they want it?
Thinking of the past, Old Lady Zhong looked at Zhong Zheng with some displeasure: "You said I wanted it or not? Who would send something to someone's door and ask if they want it? Is this how your parents raised you? You really have no manners at all, and you still say you were brought up in the city! I think you're not even as good as a three-year-old child in the village."
Zhong Zheng didn't care at all that today was Mrs. Zhong's birthday and wanted to give way to the old lady. In Zhong Zheng's opinion, the old lady didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a grandmother, so Zhong Zheng naturally didn't treat her as her own grandmother.
"My teachings are meant for educated people. For uneducated people like you, I should use uneducated methods."
Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Shut up, you little bitch, do you have the right to speak?"
Zhong Zheng wasn't at all afraid of Old Lady Zhong's banging on the table, and simply clapped her hands where she stood: "Good clapping! Keep clapping harder. I'll be even happier if you break this table."
Mrs. Zhong was so angry at Zhong Zheng that she really wanted to go up and beat her up, but the old man standing next to her stopped her, "Today is your birthday, don't you want to celebrate it? You're throwing a tantrum here."
