As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the family's children laughing and playing, and my mood immediately improved.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!"
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang clearly remember their maternal grandfather.
Sure enough, the children, who were playing with their third and youngest uncles, ran over to their maternal grandfather.
Liu Weisong felt even better listening to their soft, sweet words.
"Okay, okay, Happy New Year everyone! Here, here are red envelopes from your grandpa."
There wasn't much money in the red envelope, but it was his heartfelt gesture.
Liu Shixi did not stop them, and she didn't care whether it was a lot of money or a little.
After all, her father was an elder, and she couldn't go against his wishes.
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang are already quite adept at receiving red envelopes, as they've received quite a few at home.
Because they were twins, they were extremely popular in the Zhang family.
So, the whole family gave them a considerable amount of red envelopes.
Of course, Liu Shixi and her family also gave their nephews and nieces a lot of red envelopes.
The twins beamed with joy, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Grandpa!"
"Haha, okay, don't be shy with Grandpa, go and have fun."
Seeing his two grandsons being so well-behaved, Liu Weisong laughed heartily.
"Dad's back, where's Uncle?"
Liu Shixi spoke up at this moment, but she asked about her uncle.
Upon hearing this, Liu Weisong's smile faded slightly.
"Talking to someone outside." He didn't say who it was, he really didn't want to.
Liu Shixi was taken aback, and then she roughly understood the situation.
However, if her father couldn't handle such matters, then naturally she, as a junior, should even less likely to interfere.
So she smiled and decided to let her father try the freshly cooked crispy pork.
Then, they asked about Lin Ziming and his sister's situation.
She originally wanted to ask her younger sister directly, but unfortunately her sister stayed in the kitchen and didn't come out.
Now that her father is back, she naturally starts asking him about it.
Liu Weisong was in a good mood when he heard this.
She then told her eldest daughter about Lin Ziming.
Liu Shixi was truly stunned to hear that the person had come to stay at her house the day before yesterday.
Are all young people these days this fierce?
Zhang Shoujun touched his nose, wondering why he hadn't thought of this before.
But it doesn't matter, he eventually won the heart of his beloved, and now they have a harmonious and happy family.
"By the way, Shixi, why don't you stay today? Xiaolin's second brother and sister-in-law are coming to our house tomorrow."
Last night, Lin Ziming told the Liu family that his second brother and sister-in-law would be coming over.
Although Liu Weisong felt something was amiss, he couldn't stop them since they had already notified their families to come.
Furthermore, he also wanted to see what kind of family Kobayashi had.
"Wow, how come it's so fast? What's the situation with their family?"
Liu Shixi felt that she hadn't been surprised as much as she had been all year.
When Liu Weisong spoke of this, his tone carried a hint of pity.
"Xiao Lin is also unlucky. His parents passed away many years ago, and of the three brothers, he can't even contact his eldest brother."
Only his second brother and sister-in-law are here now, so we'll be meeting his second brother and sister-in-law tomorrow.
Lin Ziming didn't hide anything about these things.
In this day and age, not many people are willing to marry someone who has no parents.
At that time, there was no official consensus yet.
Logically speaking, Liu Weisong shouldn't have given in so quickly to a family like that.
But what can you do when his daughter is a kitchen disaster?
In Liu Weisong's mind, it would be better to marry Xiaolin than to marry into a family where the parents-in-law would control the household.
At least, they don't mind that his daughter can't cook.
Moreover, the food they cook is incredibly delicious.
If Lele gets engaged to him, she won't have to serve her in-laws or be mistreated after she marries him.
Look at the daughter-in-law of the second branch of the Li family next door; she must have suffered so much in the Li family.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shixi immediately felt some sympathy for Lin Ziming.
But while sympathy is understandable, we still need to consider the person's character and how they treat Lele.
Well, the fact that they're willing to cook for Lele shows they treat her very well.
Thinking this way, Liu Shixi felt a little more at ease.
However, she still asked with some concern, "Dad, judging from Xiaolin's appearance, his family seems to be well-off. Will his brother and sister-in-law look down on Lele?"
How would Liu Weisong know this?
So he could only shake his head. "Xiao Lin said his older brother and sister-in-law indulge him, but I don't know the specifics."
"Hey, Xi'er, Dad, don't overthink it. We'll see tomorrow."
Zhang Shoujun didn't quite understand why there was anything to ask.
When people come tomorrow, they'll be able to tell at a glance whether they like it or not.
Besides, my sister-in-law is very opinionated. Even if others look down on her, they'll probably be the ones who suffer.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin's heart is entirely focused on his sister-in-law, so no matter how much his brother and sister-in-law dislike her, it's useless.
So why are they thinking so much now? It only adds to their troubles.
Liu Shixi glared at him. Men just aren't careful!
Is marriage just a matter between two people? It's a matter between two families!
Think about when she got married. If it weren't for her older brother and younger siblings making her look good, would she have been so confident after getting married?
Teeth and tongue are such good things, yet they can sometimes hurt each other; how much more so when interacting with others?
She was lucky to find a good family, which is why there were no conflicts between her and her mother-in-law.
Look at the Li family next door. Even though the eldest son is favored, his eldest daughter-in-law still suffers a lot of mistreatment.
The second wife was even worse; she was treated like a doormat every day.
They never get any of the good things that happen in the family.
But all the dirty and tiring chores at home are done by them.
Along with the girls, they were all treated like doormats, with a status similar to that of unpaid maids.
Her sister is so good, Liu Shixi doesn't want her sister to suffer in her husband's family.
Therefore, Liu Shixi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Lin Ziming's parents had passed away.
It's not fair to say she's heartless; she genuinely wanted her sister to have a better life.
"Xiao is right. Let's not think too much about it and see what happens tomorrow."
If all else fails, then Shixi, you should try to persuade your sister.
As a father, there are some things he really can't say to his daughter.
Fortunately, she has an older daughter. The two sisters have a good relationship, so Lele is likely to listen to what her older daughter says.
That's what he thought, but Liu Weisong still thought highly of the Lin family.
Come to think of it, my youngest daughter is getting on in years; she's eighteen, which is really old enough for her to get married.
(The legal marriage age at that time was 18 for women and 20 for men.)
Liu Shixi sighed inwardly; there was nothing she could do now.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Lin Ziming said with amusement, "It seems your older sister cares about you quite a bit. No wonder you treat her differently."
"Of course! I was raised by my eldest sister, how could she not care about her only younger sister?"
Liu Shile answered seriously. Although the original owner was raised by her older sister, didn't she inherit everything from the original owner?
Lin Ziming chuckled, "Well, then we can treat her even better from now on."
