"Jiao Jiao, did you remember? When your eldest aunt and uncle come back, have them come to the house. Grandpa said that your little aunt and uncle will also be present tonight. Can you guess what it is?" Lin Xuezhen asked with a furrowed brow.
Zhou Jiao, holding her child, casually replied, "Younger generation shouldn’t be present; it must be a big issue. Probably something good."
"Do you think it might be about elder sister’s marriage? Could the Yang Family have backed out? I haven’t seen much of her around these past few days; it must be about her marriage." Lin Xuezhen speculated wildly.
Zhou Jiao smiled without answering. A matter involving Lin Xuelin wouldn’t alarm two sons-in-law. If her guess was right, it was because the old man found out about the family’s debt, and this was probably his way of giving her father an explanation. Since Li Jianjun, the youngest son-in-law, was invited, he was likely to lightly apologize. But what use was that explanation?
Zhou Xiaozheng returned home after work to find out that Mr. Lin had summoned them as a couple. He smiled at Zhou Jiao, and both father and daughter understood perfectly that they would just hear a few pleasantries.
When Lin Lishan asked about the matter, they didn’t explain and said they’d find out once there.
This time, Zhou Jiao prepared dinner early, ensuring that the anxious Lin Lishan ate with them before going. If she guessed right, the Lin Family would probably wait for the guests to arrive before starting dinner.
That day, Zhang Guoqing went out to visit the Liu Zhang family, who had returned to Beijing. Sometimes fate is just so peculiar. Who would have thought Liu Zhang and Cheng Sijin would be old friends?
Zhou Jiao watched her parents leave and stayed home alone to care for the baby.
In the Lin Family’s living room, Lin Aiguo, Lin Aidang, and Lin Liyin, all waited with their spouses for a long time. Except for Lin Dingsheng’s three brothers, the girls avoided staying outside in the rooms.
When Mr. Lin saw Lin Lishan and her husband arrive, he returned to the room to call out Mrs. Lin, and they both came to the living room.
Zhou Xiaozheng declined the Lin Family brothers’ offer to sit, sat down next to Li Jianjun, and heard the other’s stomach growling. He slightly curved his mouth downward, thinking only the Lin Family would have such a way of hospitality.
When Mrs. Lin came out, she kept her face cold and her head down, saying nothing.
