Zhou Zhenghui was quite perceptive and held out the large cup of tea in front of his future mother-in-law. When he saw Little Zi’er easily taking it over and even helped her drink a few sips, and saw her breathing ease and her complexion return to normal, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her mother so angered by her, Xie Jingzi tearfully cried out, "Mom, if you really don’t like me being with him—"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenghui seized the opportunity and said solemnly to Zhou Xiuhua:
"Mother, I apologize for upsetting you, it’s my fault. But I really am here sincerely to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage. If you’re worried, I am ready to register and marry Little Zi’er immediately!"
Once Zhou Zhenghui heard Xie Jingzi’s guilty tone, he immediately spoke out again, his voice urgent and slightly louder, overpowering Xie Jingzi’s weak voice.
Right now, he could tell that his mother-in-law looked as if she could chew him up alive—and the little woman he had always wanted to take home was about to cast him aside from fright!
Scoff, don’t believe it? Didn’t you see her daring to throw his hand off in one swoop and dash to the opposite side!
As for the future mother-in-law...
Usually, this expression is mostly seen when a girl gets pregnant unexpectedly, and her mother would have this kind of expression. Quite coincidentally, he had seen this expression before, so now, he instinctively steered the conversation to a crucial point.
Although that day he hadn’t really taken Little Zi’er away, the fact that they had been intimate was true, and being a man he didn’t think it was a big deal, but setting that aside, he realized that Little Zi’er probably wouldn’t fancy him!
Even the most fundamental reason for dating him was because of this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have won her over so quickly!
Zhou Zhenghui’s declaration, in the eyes of Zhou Xiuhua, was like adding fuel to the fire. Fortunately, Xie Jingzi, still dazed, gave her mother a straight look and foolishly turned her head to ask her uncle:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t you say to at least let me finish college first?" They had just met the day before yesterday and had a focused discussion about her school issues.
"You going to college doesn’t hinder us from getting married first! These significant life events can absolutely proceed simultaneously," Zhou Zhenghui said, covering his nose discreetly and then earnestly replied.
He felt that if he held back any longer, he might as well become a saint!
Before he had a woman, he didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate, but ever since he rolled with her in a confusing mix-up of sheets, he felt that this life event should not be delayed any longer!
"Alright, everyone sit down!" Xie Tiesheng frowned and shouted in a deep voice. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Now everything was settled, whether it was the furious Zhou Xiuhua, the innocent Yan Jinsu, the weak Xie Jingzi, or the rarely impatient Zhou Zhenghui—all of them sat up straight and looked at Xie Tiesheng.
However, Xie Tiesheng was especially fond of this youngest daughter, plus her birth came at the most difficult time in their family’s life, creating much guilt and bias in his heart.
After all, when his youngest daughter was born, it was during a great famine, and there were several times they almost couldn’t keep her alive, all because of his incompetence and poverty.
Due to his bias, being the main focus of his attention, Xie Jingzi was frail in her childhood, extremely delicate in her thinking, weak in her hands, unable to do many things, totally incomparable to her competent elder sister. This long-term comparison by the sisters-in-law made her personality extremely sensitive.
