Chapter 474: Chapter 473: What Is the Father-in-law Feeling?

Lin Xia didn’t like returning to the old family house, but to Lin Aiye’s family, it seemed quite decent.

Lin Gang’s two children had gone to bed early, and several adults sat around on the kang, chatting away.

Lin Gang lowered his voice and said to Lin Aiye and the others, "Dad! Since my uncle’s house is empty with no one living in it, why don’t we discuss with him the possibility of borrowing it to live in? Then your grandson could transfer to a school at the foot of the mountain. The teaching quality there is different!

If your grandson does well in his studies and gets into a city high school like Lin Dong did, and then to university, our family will also have someone who is successful..."

Lin Aiye and Zhang Lanxiang had the same notion after staying here since yesterday, but they had not yet found the time to sit down and discuss it as a family.

Now that their son had brought it up, they certainly had to have a good talk about it.

Lin Aiye threw his hand-rolled cigarette onto the ground and, after a couple of coughs, spoke in a low voice, "To talk is easy! I just fear your uncle might not agree. Your grandma secretly told me that your uncle wants to leave this old house for Lin Chun! If Lin Chun returns, won’t that be soon?"

His wife had always been on his side and considered things for his benefit, so when his older brother Lin Aiguo moved, he sort of inquired sideways about the plans for this house; Lin Aiguo was very determined to leave the house for that kid Lin Chun.

It’s only natural for a father to leave his house to his own son. What say could he, as the younger brother, have?

Lin Gang was disdainful and snorted, his voice involuntarily rising, "That Grandpa of Lin Chun’s is so influential and powerful, even if he came back, would he care about this shabby house?"

He was utterly envious and jealous of Lin Chun having such powerful grandparents; it was excruciatingly frustrating.

Why couldn’t he have had a mother with such a background?

Zhang Lanxiang gave him a light smack on the back and chided softly, "Keep your voice down! There are people living next door!"

They were staying in the Eastern House, while relatives from the Yu family who had traveled from afar were staying in the Western House. They had to be cautious of the thin walls—what if the neighbors overheard their conversation?

Lin Gang knew well that such talk shouldn’t be heard by others, so he lowered his voice again, "Dad! It’s not just me talking! You saw Lin Xia’s uncle who came to my aunt’s house today; he looked rich at first glance, not at all like us ordinary folks.

Did you see the watch he wore on his wrist? I took several good looks, it’s definitely expensive!

Besides, Lin Xia also has her own house and business in the city, they certainly wouldn’t care about this one!"

"I’ll find a chance to talk to your uncle and see what he thinks," Lin Aiye replied. How could he not want someone in his family to succeed? But it was too difficult to achieve success when you’re stuck in a ravine!

Zhang Lanxiang noticed that Lin Fang had been very quiet all evening, sitting with her knees drawn up and her head hung, seemingly lost in thoughts.

"Lin Fang! What’s the matter with you? We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, why are you not as affectionate to us anymore?"

Ever since her daughter went to work in the factory on the mountain under Lin Xia’s name and stayed at Lin Aijia’s house, Zhang Lanxiang felt her daughter had changed a lot.

Many times, she secretly wondered if it was because her aunt, Lin Aijia, hadn’t been sowing discord, damaging their relationship.

Lin Fang lifted her head and pursed her lips before finally speaking up, as if she had made up her mind, "Mom! What do you think about the guy who drove us here today?"

Even though Lin Xia said that person already had a partner, the flame of love that had kindled in her heart was not something that could be easily extinguished!

Actually, thinking about it, having a partner wasn’t such a big deal—as long as he wasn’t married, she still had a chance, right?

Zhang Lanxiang slapped her thigh excitedly and said, "What’s there to say? He’s tall and good-looking, clearly a man of wealth and good conditions! Who around here could afford a car at this time?"

After saying that and seeing her daughter’s flushed cheeks, what more was there to misunderstand?

Zhang Lanxiang pointed at Lin Fang in astonishment, "Girl, you’re not... are you?"

She really hadn’t dared to think in that direction, considering the appearance of her daughter—it would be difficult for her to reach for such a high branch!

Lin Fang shyly nodded vigorously, "Mhm! I think he’s quite good!"

Lin Aiye and Lin Gang were left agape, although they too wished that Lin Fang could find someone with good conditions to potentially bask in reflected glory, but that young man who came in a car obviously wasn’t an ordinary character; ordinary folks would definitely not be up to his standards!

Lin Gang’s wife hurriedly hung her head to hide her changing expression, her sister-in-law really dares to dream!

Zhang Lanxiang swallowed a gulp of saliva, "Then have you asked Lin Xia about him, whether the young man is married?" She also knew her daughter’s chances were slim, but what if? Isn’t there always a what if!

Lin Fang regretfully said, "Lin Xia said he has a significant other!"

Upon hearing he had a significant other, Zhang Lanxiang immediately abandoned the thought, "Lin Fang, if he’s got a significant other, let’s not think about it anymore! Let’s wait and see if we can talk to Lin Xia later to help introduce someone to you!

If that Yu Hongli, even with his difficulties, can get married so quickly, there’s no reason why you can’t find someone too!"

"Exactly! My sister isn’t lacking anything!" Lin Gang echoed.

Lin Fang remained silent, yet her mind was elsewhere.

The next day, Jiang Mingyuan, whom many had their eyes on, arrived bright and early at the home of the Lin family.

When he arrived, Yu Hongli had already been dolled up by Lin Xia and the others, and he was now looking at his reflection in the large mirror on the camphor wood chest, unable to control his silly, wide grin.

Yu Hongli was dressed in a dark blue, all-wool Sun Yat-sen suit that the bride’s side had tailored for him, his black leather shoes shone brightly, for once he had applied some Da You Yi on his face, his hair was blow-dried and styled with gel, and it even had a sprinkle of gold glitter.

Lin Xia and Yu Hongmei looked at the hairstyle they had collaborated on creating and laughed heartily.

"Brother! Do you think today’s groom looks handsome?"

It’s said that clothes make the man and the saddle makes the horse, and that hairstyle is crucial too. After all of Hongli’s grooming, he really did look quite handsome!

Jiang Mingyuan couldn’t help but smile, needless to say, Lin Xia had definitely been involved in this.

"Handsome!"

Yu Hongli was embarrassed to be called handsome. He was just about to scratch the back of his head, but as he lifted his hand halfway, he saw his father-in-law appear at the doorway and quickly lowered his hand.

In front of his father-in-law, Yu Hongli still couldn’t let loose.

Lin Xia saw Lu Pengcheng and Song Yinran coming, "Uncle! Uncle-in-law! Please come in and have a seat! Did you sleep well last night?"

"Quite well!" Lu Pengcheng took a couple more glances at Yu Hongli and nodded inwardly; after sprucing himself up, the young man did look quite spirited.

Song Yinran said with a smile, "Good! The heated brick bed was indeed very comfortable!"

An unaware Lin Aijia came in and, seeing her son look so lively, was genuinely happy. She smiled and advised Yu Hongli, "Hongli, make sure to sweet-talk when you get to your mother-in-law’s house! When you call her mom, do it with a loud and clear voice! Your father-in-law is no more, and from now on, you are the man to carry on the family name..."

"Got it!" Yu Hongli nodded repeatedly, but his eyes involuntarily drifted toward Lu Pengcheng, wondering what his father-in-law might be feeling at the moment.

Lin Xia knew what her aunt was saying made sense, but with Hongli’s father-in-law sitting right on the edge of the kang bed, this scene...

She looked at Jiang Mingyuan and gave him a subtle signal.

Jiang Mingyuan, being in the know, understood the situation.

He glanced at his wristwatch, "Since everything is ready, let’s set off now!"

"Alright!" Lin Xia and the others escorted Yu Hongli to the front gate, where he got into the car and left.
