"My granddaughter won't marry Fan Dafu because she was already engaged to the son of the Liu family who adopted her!"
Hearing what Grandma Zhou said, the Zhou family and Ye Ning's siblings were all stunned.
Uncle Zhou and his wife clearly didn't believe it: "Mom, we've never heard of Shuyan and the Liu family getting engaged in any way in all these years. Don't try to make up stories to deceive us!"
Zhou Shuyan looked at her grandmother with confusion. She had no recollection of having a childhood marriage.
Grandma Zhou gave her granddaughter a calm look, and then her expectant and anxious gaze fell on Ye Ning.
"Xiao Ye, when Shuyan's mother was still alive, she told me that you and Political Commissar Liu liked Shuyan very much."
"When I went to the capital to pick up Shuyan and bring her back to Zhoujia Village, the wife surnamed Song who sat behind Political Commissar Liu said that although Shuyan and the Liu family were not destined to have children, they were destined to be in marriage."
"In front of Political Commissar Liu, she arranged a marriage between Shuyan and your second son, and our two families even exchanged engagement tokens."
At this point, Grandma Zhou took out a longevity lock and a piece of paper with Liu Yuzhou's birth date from her pocket.
"Look, this is the token of trust that the two families exchanged. I didn't lie."
Ye Ning took the longevity lock and the note, and his head suddenly started buzzing.
This thing really belongs to her son.
The longevity lock was tailor-made for Liu Yuzhou by the Ye family's silver shop. As for things like his birth date and horoscope, they were impossible to fake.
As a mother, Ye Ning would never make a mistake in remembering when the child was born.
Ye Shen standing by obviously recognized that the longevity lock came from the Ye family's silver shop.
The two siblings looked at each other, their eyes somewhat conflicted.
If Grandma Zhou is told the truth now, Zhou Shuyan will continue to be forced to marry by the Zhou family.
But if I don’t tell the truth now, how can I explain to Meng Zhen when I take Shuyan back?
Seeing that the two hadn't expressed their opinions, Zhou's uncle sneered, "Mom, look, they don't recognize this marriage at all!"
"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be better to find a suitable family in the village, the Fan family, to marry into?"
"Shut up!" Grandma Zhou scolded her son.
Turning to the silent Ye siblings, he said, "Xiao Ye, I know Shuyan is very different from your family. I never thought about marrying into the Liu family before, but you can see the situation we're in now. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Everyone is thinking about the compensation we got from the demolition."
"I've never used Shuyan's father's name to ask for help in my life, but today I'm going to use it once. For the sake of Shuyan's parents, can you accept Shuyan?"
"I'm begging you, old lady." Grandma Zhou knelt down towards Ye Ning with a cry.
Ye Ning's face changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to support her: "Don't be like this, get up quickly! Get up quickly!"
Ye Shen also stepped forward to help Grandma Zhou up.
However, there was a figure that was faster than the two of them——
"grandmother!"
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Shuyan cried and hugged Grandma Zhou on the ground.
"It's all because of me that you've been worrying about me. Grandma, please get up quickly. I'm getting married!"
"I'm marrying Fan Dafu!"
Zhou Shuyan choked with sobs, her eyes red.
Hearing this, Grandma Zhou also burst into tears: "My dear granddaughter, why is your life so miserable?"
"She lost her parents at such a young age, and after finally growing up, she had to marry a psychopath..."
"What a sin! It's really God's fault!"
Looking at the scene of the two hugging and crying, Ye Ning couldn't bear to look away.
I couldn't help but recall the little moments I spent with Zhou Shuyan's mother in the staff housing compound.
