Chapter 403 The truth is out, brother-in-law?
Ada sat at the dining table, eating watermelon while talking animatedly. "Uncle, this watermelon is quite sweet! We've been very lucky this time; both days have been peaceful. Uncle, Aunt, Dongzhe and Tunan are doing business together, and the family is at ease. He's a great young man. My dad gave him a thumbs up after hearing his ideas and plans. Besides, we're all relatives, he's my brother-in-law." He spoke excitedly, completely unaware of the subtle change in the atmosphere.
Upon hearing the words "brother-in-law," Lin Wufeng nearly choked on the walnut he was eating, and his expression instantly became somewhat unnatural.
Song Ying quickly patted his back, her heart pounding with nervousness, and whispered, "Eat slowly."
Huang Ling looked at Ada with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what he meant. "Brother-in-law?"
Seeing the strange expressions on Dong Zhe and Engineer Lin's faces, Zhuang Chaoying suddenly realized something and slapped her thigh hard.
He then remembered that in the original drama, Dongzhe went back to his hometown and confessed his relationship with Xiaoting. Judging from Ada's words, it should still be following the original direction.
Previously, Ah Ling liked Dong Zhe very much and thought it would be good for the two children to be together. However, Huang Ling is currently pregnant and her emotions are not very stable, so it is better to keep this matter from her for the time being.
He tried to explain. "Uncle, that's what Uncle means." As he spoke, he kept winking at Lin Gong, signaling him to cooperate.
Lin Wufeng understood immediately and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, that's what Uncle means."
Ada, oblivious to everyone's odd behavior, continued talking animatedly. "You know, a mother's brother is the eldest brother-in-law, and in our hometown, he's always a distinguished guest sitting at the head table."
Seeing this, Lin Wufeng smiled and explained, reaching out to pull his nephew, who had stood up and was talking happily. "What Ada means is, I'm the uncle, the brother-in-law."
Ada was pulled back to his seat, looking bewildered. He thought to himself: I was right, so why are my uncle and aunt looking at me like that?
Without thinking much about it, he picked up the watermelon and started eating again.
Huang Ling still felt something was off. They were talking about Tu Nan, so how did it suddenly get to Lin Gong?
Could it be that I heard it wrong?
Turning to look at Xiaoting, I saw her hurriedly get up to go to the kitchen. "I'll go get some sunflower seeds for everyone to eat."
Seeing that everyone seemed unconcerned, I didn't press the matter further.
When Zhuang Chaoying saw Lin Gong off, she followed him into the Lin family's courtyard.
Lin Wufeng saw the look in Teacher Zhuang's eyes just now and knew that he must have noticed something.
Moreover, as soon as Dongche returned, he couldn't wait to pull his son aside and ask him, and got the definite answer—the two children were indeed dating.
Standing in the courtyard, he spoke sincerely to Zhuang Chaoying.
“Teacher Zhuang, I only found out about the two children a few days ago. According to the customs of our hometown, I should visit them in person. But I was thinking about Sister Ling’s current situation, so I didn’t dare to go suddenly. Please don’t be upset with me.”
Zhuang Chaoying felt a little uneasy after hearing this.
Knowing something in your heart is one thing, but once someone tells you the truth to your face, the feeling is completely different.
He sighed softly. "Mr. Lin, you know our family situation. I'll give Ling a heads-up first and then slowly work it out with her. As for Xiao Song, please make sure he understands that I don't object to the two children's situation."
Standing next to his father, Lin Dongzhe was so excited when he heard Zhuang Chaoying say that that his face turned red, and he immediately bowed deeply to Zhuang Chaoying.
"Dad, I promise I'll treat Zhuang Xiaoting well."
Zhuang Chaoying looked at the clever boy and felt a chill in her heart. Damn it, this kid is too good at taking advantage of people!
He rolled his eyes at Lin Dongzhe, his expression serious. "What time is it? What kind of thing are you doing? If you dare to misbehave with Xiaoting, even if your parents are Engineer Lin and Xiao Song, I'll beat you until you can't find your way back."
Just then, as Song Ying entered the room, she heard Zhuang Chaoying say that she was going to beat Dong Zhe so badly that he couldn't find his way back. Her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that things have been exposed and Teacher Zhuang has found out?
Sister Ling doesn't know either, does she?
She quickly walked over and kicked Dongzhe's butt hard, then hurriedly made a promise.
"Teacher Zhuang, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiaoting like my own daughter. If Dongzhe does anything outrageous, Wu Feng and I will beat him up first, without you and Sister Ling having to lift a finger."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded, her expression softening somewhat.
"The two kids are only sophomores in college, so it's hard to say what the future holds. Dongzhe is a bit mischievous, but he's a very good person, and I like him quite a bit. Anyway, no matter what happens to the two kids in the future, we should just keep the relationship between our two families the same as before."
Hearing what Teacher Zhuang said, Song Ying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded.
"No one can change the relationship between our two families. Sister Ling and I are definitely the best sisters and in-laws. Teacher Zhuang, you should go back quickly, so that Sister Ling won't have any doubts."
Lin Wufeng chimed in, "Teacher Zhuang, Song Ying is just too happy and is talking incoherently. Please don't mind her. Once Sister Ling finds out, we will definitely pay her a formal visit as soon as possible, and we will certainly not neglect the proper etiquette."
Zhuang Chaoying returned home with her hands behind her back, and Huang's parents also went back to the neighboring house.
Xiaoting was preparing a basin of water for her mother to soak her feet when she saw her father return. Feeling inexplicably guilty, she whispered something.
"Dad, you're back."
Zhuang Chaoying gently patted her daughter's shoulder, her voice tender. "You're back. Go wash up, your mother is here."
Zhuang Tunan had just come out of the backyard after taking a shower. His hair was still wet, and he hadn't showered for three days, so he was covered in sweat and smelly.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room."
Huang Ling nodded. "Go back quickly. You must not have slept well for the past three days. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the township to sell goods. Pengfei, you should go to sleep too. Don't worry about me. Your uncle is here."
After Zhuang Chaoying helped Huang Ling finish washing, she carefully helped her back to her room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, applying pregnancy oil to Ah Ling as he tentatively asked, "Ah Ling, what do you think of Dong Zhe as a child?"
Huang Ling lay on the bed, put the magazine in her hand aside, and thought for a moment. "Dong Zhe is quite good."
"Ah Ling, do you want Xiao Ting to find a boyfriend you know well?"
Huang Ling sat up. She had felt something was wrong that night, and it turned out that she was waiting here.
Zhuang Chaoying quickly said, "Ah Ling, slow down."
