Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1152

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1025: You Might as Well Admit You Look Down on Them

"Her full name is Zuo Xinyi..."

Zhou Jiao quickly realized something and shook her head in disagreement, "How old is she? She wouldn’t be suitable for our Ping’an."

If she remembered correctly, the young girl was indeed very pretty, but she was about four years older than Ping’an. Are we really going to follow the saying ’a girl three years older is a treasure’?

Not to mention the Zuo Family, even if it’s the daughter of the Emperor, it wouldn’t work!

Zhang Guoqing was amused by her reaction and laughed, "Your response... Oh dear, you must be really terrified by those people."

He shook his head, "It’s true that we’re talking about a match, but it’s actually about Little Stone. Apparently, the young girl and Little Stone grew up together, and it seems Uncle Zuo has this idea. Whereas my second brother feels it’s a bit of a climb, and he was wondering if Uncle Zuo sees our family as a strategic alliance and asked if we should go through with this match?"

The protective Zhou Jiao gave a fierce look, "How is Little Stone not a good match for Uncle Zuo’s daughter? He looks great, and besides, Uncle Zuo’s eldest son isn’t any better than my second brother."

Ping’an, who was sitting in the front, couldn’t help but remind her, "Mom, Second Uncle’s point is whether there’s a motive related to our family."

Zhou Jiao laughed at this, "Of course I know that. If the Zuo Family wanted an alliance, Zuo Sen would have used his long-standing relationship with your grandpa to propose marriage with one of his granddaughters a long time ago. How could it be Zuo Lin’s matter?

Regardless of whether they’re joking privately or sending someone to arrange a marriage, if the Old Zuo Family wanted an alliance, Zuo Sen has such a good relationship with your grandpa, why wouldn’t he mention it?"

"He’s a smart man. He knows my grandpa has his own arrangements for us three brothers, and saying anything would be pointless. Why waste words? Besides, look how old I am now?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled but didn’t say anything, although he was a bit aware of the situation. He’s seen the looks of the girls from the Old Zuo Family before. Zuo Sen wasn’t avoiding the topic because of willingness; it’s because those girls just don’t meet the standard.

It’s a matter of his three sons, and before we even discuss their character, just consider their appearance and demeanor; mentioning it wouldn’t help since they need to somewhat be a match in looks.

Only those who are completely foolish or deranged would want to send their children to our home without caring about their future happiness.

Zhou Jiao strongly agreed with her son’s point, "Exactly! We’ll discuss this after you’re over twenty. Did Second Uncle say if Little Stone likes the young girl?"

"Since he wanted our opinion, he wouldn’t mention this, but didn’t he say they grew up together? I guess the two youngsters have mutual affection."

"Well, then it’s not an issue. No matter the purpose, Uncle Zuo is great, and his eldest son and daughter-in-law are good people too. This match wouldn’t be seen as climbing too high."

As Zhou Jiao spoke, she pondered her words, "Ping’an, you three brothers will definitely need to choose a few allies in the future. Have you selected anyone yet?"

Ping’an thought of the plans frequently discussed with his two brothers, and he didn’t hide them from his parents, "Not yet. But Mom, the age gap between us and the brothers in the family is quite large. As long as you and Dad can hold the fort for the next ten years, we haven’t planned to put effort into grooming outsiders. As for the future, we’ll observe on our own."

Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Guoqing, the couple exchanged a glance, and Zhang Guoqing ruefully squeezed her palm, giving her a signal to stop.

Zhou Jiao, fearing her husband might overthink, reconsidered. Since he was willing to go along with their son’s wishes, there was no need to promote nephews unnecessarily.

Ping’an mulled over and then explained, "Dad, it’s not that we don’t trust our cousins. Why does a large family become more distant over time? Because the blood relation becomes increasingly distant, and without living together, coupled with human’s innate selfishness, we don’t want the future to become a tangled mess. Relatives should be endearing when afar but annoying when close. Yet, if we have the ability in the future, we certainly wouldn’t hesitate to support them."

"This is our consideration; among the three of us brothers, an age gradient would be better so that we can support each other in times of crisis with mutual trust, while outsiders are still outsiders. Moreover, should we seek allies, we adhere to the principle that quality matters more than quantity."
