"Yes, that way even if someone from the Zhang family goes back on their word later, they'll have to think twice."
"Phew! I thought that girl wouldn't agree."
"Yes, that's what I thought too. I was quite worried that the kid would offend the old commander."
"My dear wife, let me tell you, of the four children in the Zhang family, Qin Shuang's boyfriend, Zhang Weiyu, is the most handsome. He looks exactly like you."
"Hmm, that's good. The young man is handsome, so his future children will be beautiful." This old couple was thinking too far ahead.
Just then, Sun Xiaonan knocked on the door and came in. "Mom and Dad, Madam wants four girls to come over. They need to have their bodies checked."
The elderly couple were both taken aback after hearing this. "A medical check-up? That's normal. Families like that would definitely consider everything thoroughly."
"Yes, I was the first to agree. Our family has a couple dating every year, and Qin Shuang is in excellent health with no problems at all."
Qin Yanqing nodded. "Xiaonan, you did the right thing."
“Mom and Dad, I’ve already talked to Qin Shuang about it, and she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it. She also said that Zhang Weiyu will come to pick her up tomorrow.”
"Hehe, that's good. It's the boy's first visit tomorrow. Even though we won't be keeping him for a meal, we've still prepared everything."
"Okay, Mom, I understand."
The Tang family had a similar conversation, but the old lady of the Tang family was a little dissatisfied, feeling that it showed a lack of trust in her granddaughter.
Tang Jianzhong glared at his ignorant daughter-in-law. "What do you know? Our Feiyan is perfectly healthy. What are you afraid of when she needs to be examined?"
What kind of family do they have? They can just hire anyone? Let me tell you, they must have already investigated our family situation thoroughly.
"Mom, Grandpa is right. Feiyan has really married into a better family. Niece, you must help your sister out in the future. I heard the leader's family has a younger son?"
"How dare you! If I ever hear you say such things again, you can go back to your hometown, and your whole family can go back too."
Tang Jianzhong was terrified when he heard what his second granddaughter-in-law said; she was courting death.
Tang Jianzhong squinted, thinking to himself that once his eldest granddaughter got engaged, he would definitely divide the family property so that his second grandson's family wouldn't affect his eldest grandson's family. This son of his really was a good-for-nothing.
But we're all getting on in years, so let's just leave it at that.
Yang Yongjian knew that Yang Lijun was going for a medical check-up the next day. He looked at his eldest granddaughter with some worry, as he hadn't even thought about this issue.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I had a physical exam when I was in school, and there were no problems," Yang Lijun reassured the old man, as she had no objection to the matter.
Zhang Zhenye told himself that the four brothers would also be getting checked tomorrow, including surgery, internal medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine. It would be great to have such a comprehensive check-up.
The Zou family had no complaints. They knew that the new marriage law required both partners to undergo a physical examination before marriage. It was simply a matter of preparing in advance.
"Haiyin, you've had a medical check-up, haven't you?"
“Mom, we had our check-ups before we went to college, and the four brothers will be there tomorrow too. That way I won’t feel resentful.”
"The Zhang family does things in a way that leaves people speechless; it's all to maintain balance for the woman's family."
"Their family members should all have a comprehensive check-up every six months," Zou Shiming said with a sigh.
All four families began discussing gifts for the groom.
They're all quite worried. What should they give them? They should lack nothing. Three of the families are from the capital. They all know that the leaders' assets are divided equally among these four children. They don't even need to think about it to know that they have a lot of good things.
Now everyone's worried, they can only take the best from their own family.
All four girls were thinking about their boyfriends that night. Everyone loves beauty, so of course they like pretty people.
That evening, the Zhang family sat in the living room, discussing engagement gifts for the girls.
“Mom, our ancestors have given us so many good things, why don’t the four of us discuss and prepare them together?” Zhang Zhenye suggested.
"You don't need to worry about it. Mom has already prepared everything. It's your freedom to give away your own things and whatever you want. All four of you are the same here."
"The same applies to Xiao Wu and the other two in the future."
"Hongmei, what gifts have you prepared?" Gu Chuanming asked curiously.
"It's clothes, fabric, a set of Hetian jade jewelry for each person, a set of gold jewelry, and 10,000 yuan per person, just in case."
Grandpa, is this alright? I prepared it according to the village customs; I don't know the customs here, but they should be similar.
"Okay, you've prepared quite a bit. That's settled then."
Zhang Shouyi listened from the side, feeling a little sad. If nothing had gone wrong, his wife would have discussed this matter with him, but now she was completely ignoring him.
Zhang Zhenye and the other three had no objections; since their mother had prepared so many gifts, they felt it was quite a lot. After sitting for a while longer, they all went to rest.
Zhang Shouyi lay down next to his wife. "Wife, you're ignoring me."
Zhang Hongmei closed her eyes. She hadn't rested at noon and felt quite uncomfortable. Besides, although she wasn't as angry as before, this matter was still a thorn in her side.
Zhang Shouyi looked at his wife, who had her back to him, and thought to himself that he had to find out the truth. He couldn't believe he had done such a thing, but it really was something he had done, and now he had no reason to deny it.
Zhang Zhenye and the other three gathered in the study. "Eldest brother, Mom has already prepared so many things, do we still need to prepare more?" Zhang Weiyu asked.
"I don't think we need to." Gu Yaozu genuinely felt that this was already quite a lot.
Zhang Ruifeng had no objections; if his brother gave him something, he would give him the same in return; if not, he wouldn't give him anything at all.
Zhang Zhenye nodded. "The fourth brother is right. Let's do it this way. If we give too much, how will they give us anything in return?"
"Third brother, I thought you wouldn't agree." Zhang Zhenye teased his third brother with a smile.
"Qin Shuang is alright; my mother has excellent taste. I can't really stay single forever, and since the outcome is the same anyway, there's no need for me to make the older generation anxious or angry."
That's settled then. The four of us have always had everything we wanted since childhood, so we won't be disappointed in our marriages.
"Third Brother, your idea is really bizarre. Is there any cause-and-effect relationship between this?"
"Why not? I think I should listen to my mother's opinion. That would definitely be best for me."
“We don’t have as many thoughts as you do. Let’s call your sister. If we don’t tell her, we’ll definitely have a hard time when we go back.”
