472: Chapter 471: How Did the In-Laws Co Too?
Yu Hongli’s house wasn’t particularly crowded at the mont, as so people were planning to arrive after work to partake in the al.
A few relatives from the old Yu family had co, along with neighbors from nearby and people from the Lin Family.
Lin Aiye’s family had co down early from the valley, all mbers present.
Lin Aiguo and Liu Shuqin were also sitting on the kang in Lin Aijia’s Eastern House.
Lin Aijia was inside the house chatting with guests, while Yu Changbai was outside in the yard setting up the stove with the master.
Sitting at the edge of the kang, Zhang Lanxiang looked at Yu Hongli, who was entering the house to fetch water, and asked in a mocking, conversational tone, “Hongli, I heard Lin Xia got you a car for picking up your bride tomorrow?
Your cousin relationship seems to be really solid, introducing you to a partner and even arranging a car to fetch your bride.
Our Lin Gang and Lin Fang, as cousins, couldn’t catch up even if they were on horseback!”
They had heard about this from the old lady the mont they ca down from the valley, and it truly made people green with envy!
When it cos to it, Yu Hongli is a child of Lin Xia’s aunt’s family, not as closely related as they are with her uncle’s family.
Yet, the reality was that Lin Xia didn’t respect his own Lin Gang and Lin Fang at all, showing them no good face whenever they t.
Yu Hongli knew his aunt-in-law was narrow-minded and probably felt imbalanced about this, but since it was well-known, he couldn’t deny it.
While continuing to pour water, he responded, “Auntie, what are you talking about?
There’s nothing we can’t catch up with!”
Zhang Lanxiang clucked her tongue, “Hongli, when you’re free, you should also teach our two naive kids, how to get along well with Lin Xia.
Now that Lin Xia’s maternal family is so powerful, if you get along well like you, good things will co right?”
Seeing her say this, Yu Hongli’s expression darkened, but it was his big day and, being the younger one in front of so many people seated around, it could get ssy if a conflict erupted.
This auntie was always troubleso.
Seeing Lin Aiye smoking silently beside her, Lin Aijia stood up with dissatisfaction, dusting off her pants, “Sister-in-law!
So what if my Hongli gets along well with Lin Xia?
That’s sothing you can’t envy.
It’s also sothing Hongli achieved on his own.
Not just usually, but rember the ti big brother was hospitalized?
It was Hongli who looked after him at his bedside.
Lin Xia is a child who values relationships, that’s why she’s thoughtful about helping her cousin…”
Zhang Lanxiang wanted to say that her Lin Gang had offered to take care, but unfortunately, Lin Xia hadn’t agreed, yet Lin Aiye cut her off, “Hold your tongue a bit!
Then Lin Aiye looked at Lin Aiguo sitting on the kang and said, “Big brother!
When Lin Xia cos, could you help us out, see if you can find a good match for our Lin Fang?
You see, your niece isn’t getting any younger, and the older she gets, the harder it is to find soone!”
Lin Fang looked expectantly at Lin Aiguo, having decided not to return to the valley to find a match since starting her job down the mountain.
Unfortunately, she had never t anyone who truly appealed to her.
Lin Xia knew many people, and now with her maternal family in high positions, if her uncle Lin Aiguo could ask Lin Xia to introduce her to soone, wouldn’t her problem with finding a partner be easily solved?
And surely, anyone Lin Xia introduced would be of good standing!
Lin Aiguo took a drag on his cigarette before replying, “I can’t bring that up; if you want, you can ask yourselves!”
Ever since those kids found their relatives through their maternal grandmother, he hadn’t even seen them once.
Lin Xia used to disregard him, and now even more so.
Even if he did speak, it might not be effective, so why should he make himself miserable?
Lin Aiye’s family all looked uncomfortable, but among Aiguo’s children, they were the most accomplished.
No matter the previous conflicts, relationships had eased now, and Aiguo would always be Lin Xia and her siblings’ father.
At that mont, soone in the courtyard shouted that a car had stopped at the front gate.
“Soone’s here!”
“A car!”
Yu Hongli glanced out the window towards the gate and saw it was a jeep.
He suspected it might be Lin Xia and her group, so he quickly stepped out of the house to greet them.
Several other people from inside the house followed him out.
Lin Fang and Lin Gang also followed them into the courtyard.
Lin Xia, accompanied by Lu Pengcheng and their group, got out of the car and entered the courtyard.
When Lin Xia saw so many people coming out from the house, she was slightly taken aback but quickly regained her composure to introduce everyone.
“This is my boyfriend’s father, my aunt’s husband, and Along, and this is my sworn brother…” She continued introducing Yu Hongli and the rest of the Lin Family.
Song Yinran and Along had already t Yu Hongli that day but none of them ntioned it.
Among them, Lu Pengcheng scrutinized Yu Hongli the most carefully.
He looked at the young man, who was not very handso but had an honest and simple look, and felt slightly disappointed.
However, he also understood that although his daughter was pretty and young, her age was there, and finding a man seven years younger was already good enough, definitely better than soone divorced!
When Yu Hongli heard Lin Xia introduce him as her boyfriend’s father, he imdiately knew who he was.
As they shook hands and greeted each other, Yu Hongli’s palms sweated with nervousness, afraid of leaving a bad impression on his future father-in-law.
“Hello!
Uncle!”
“Hello!” Lu Pengcheng firmly shook his hand, both fully aware of each other’s relationship.
“Please, let’s all go inside!
Let’s talk inside!” Lin Aijia warmly invited everyone into the house.
Lin Fang had been staring unblinkingly at the handso and suave Jiang Mingyuan, her face secretly turning red as her heart fluttered, thinking that the man with the car must be especially wealthy!
When she learned that this man was Lin Xia’s sworn brother, even more thoughts crossed her mind.
In the Eastern House, Liu Shuqin and Lin Aiguo had not initially co downstairs believing that Lin Xia was visiting with friends.
Yet, to their surprise, she had brought her future father-in-law and her grandmother’s brother.
This was the first ti Lin Aiguo was eting Lu Zheng’s family, and he greeted Lu Pengcheng with nervousness, “Why is our in-law here too?
Welco, welco…”
This was truly unexpected for him!
Lu Pengcheng valued Lin Xia greatly and was naturally gracious towards his future in-laws.
However, Aiguo’s casual remark unexpectedly made him tense up.
His expression unchanged, he shook hands with Lin Aiguo and briefly explained, “I just happened to have so business here and didn’t expect to catch such a joyful occasion in the family.
Of course I couldn’t miss it!”
Afterwards, Lin Aiguo also shook hands with Song Yinran, whose reason was similar to Lu Pengcheng’s.
Lin Aiguo and Song Yinran were rely strangers, sharing only a few customary polite words.
Lin Aiguo could sense Lin Xia’s uncle was indifferent towards him, and he was happy to not engage in much conversation.
After all, he had mixed feelings towards Wanhua’s biological parents’ relatives…
