Chapter 505: Chapter 347: Who is Scheming (4K)_3
But she then realized that her mother didn’t see how much stuff she had bought and wouldn’t feel it until she did. Once she saw it, she would probably nag her, and she might even ask for a return. No, she had to resolve this before Head Tongzi left so as not to provoke more problems.
Because in the past, when she went to the supermarket with her parents, they always bought a lot. While writing the shopping list, she had never thought it was too much, but now she suddenly realized it. This was a time when resources were extremely scarce. How could her parents agree to bring back so many things?
As she stepped outside, she saw Old Master Wan smiling fondly at Zhou Mikang, his face full of satisfaction and admiration. Chuxia’s eyes flickered, and she immediately got an idea.
Old Master Wan knew about Zhou Mikang’s mission, as well as the nature of the task. Thus, he was extremely pleased that Zhou Mikang could come back to have lunch with Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe before departing.
Chuxia placed the plate on the table and sat down smiling next to Elder Wan, "Grandpa, I can stay here every other week starting now, as Zhou Mikang and the elders have discussed."
"Thank you, Xiaomi," Elder Wan sincerely said.
Zhao Yulan and Sister-in-law Yin, carrying steamed buns, came out just in time to hear Chuxia’s words. They too were happy. Staying here every other week was good as old people do enjoy the company of the younger generation.
"Xiaomi, thank you," Zhao Yulan also said.
"It’s what I should do," Zhou Mikang smiled at both, "Saying that, Mom and Grandpa Wan, is treating me like an outsider."
"Dad, Mom, these are the things Zhou Mikang bought for you to take home today. Check if anything is missing; we can go and fill in the gaps this afternoon," Chuxia pulled out a list from her pocket and handed it to Lin Baohe, "Who to give what, parents, is up to you."
As expected, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan simultaneously expressed their opposition after seeing the list. Even for the wealthiest households in the village, it would take years to purchase what was on the list, and even if the Zhou family was wealthy, they couldn’t be unconscious of others.
"Dad, Mom, this is my sincere gesture. Originally, I intended to go back home with you, but I have a mission tomorrow, and I definitely won’t be back by the time you return, so I must trouble Jing Zhe.
If you still refuse these things, my heart really wouldn’t feel right. As a son-in-law, if I can’t do anything for my in-laws, what am I even for?" Zhou Mikang’s words were earnest, and although Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe wanted to refuse again, they were also concerned about hurting their son-in-law’s feelings and reluctantly turned their pleading eyes towards Old Master Wan.
Old Master Wan just chuckled, "Accept them, Xiaomi means well. If you don’t, he won’t feel settled."
"We..."
Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe looked at each other, still hesitating.
Seizing the moment, Chuxia said to Zhou Mikang, "My parents are worried that accepting these gifts might make your family elders uncomfortable, thinking that I married you for your family’s wealth. Of course, they know the Zhou family members wouldn’t think that way, but they still can’t help worrying."
"Exactly! Exactly!! Exactly!" Zhao Yulan nodded repeatedly, pinching Lin Baohe in the process. Lin Baohe also kept nodding, showing that the couple was unified in their opinion.
"I swear on my life that the Zhou family members would never overthink this matter. If Dad and Mom are still uneasy, we can go to the Zhou family now, and I’ll let my family state their stance in person."
"No no no..." Lin Baohe hurriedly waved his hands, laughing, as if suggesting such a thing would indeed be stirring up trouble unnecessarily." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Then let’s agree to this and take everything back home," Zhou Mikang said seriously to the couple, "Dad, Mom, it’s proper for Xiaomi and me to show our respect. I hope in the future, you won’t always think too much and hurt the feelings."
Chuxia quietly gave Zhou Mikang a thumb up. How well he understood the shortcomings of Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe!
Of course, she understood them even better, but her persuading wouldn’t work; it had to be him who persuaded.
Was there anything more beautiful than a son-in-law caring for his daughter?
"Alright, we will accept them and tell Grandma and Grandpa back home that it was Xiaomi who gave these," Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe looked at each other and gave in at last.
A bright smile spread across Chuxia’s face. Ah, her goal was finally achieved. Zhou Mikang glanced at his little wife, bowed his head with a smile filling his eyes. The little thing, trying to be sly with him—did she think he hadn’t noticed? (To be continued.
