Chapter 388: The son-in-law from afar

This statement was originally very reasonable, even carrying a concept of "delaying oneself for two years for the younger brother" that was particularly in line with the elderly's preference for boys over girls...

Song Tan even gave herself a thumbs up.

But who knew, Grandma didn't follow the usual path!

"You child! What are you saying? Did your parents teach you this? This Wu Lan, is this how I taught her?"

Grandma's expression was solemn and earnest:

"Tan Tan, you can't think like this. Qiao Qiao is Qiao Qiao, and you are you. If Qiao Qiao has difficulties, you pull him; if there's no one to take care of him, you help out so he doesn't go hungry... This is the affection between you siblings, and it is your responsibility as an older sister."

"But you can't delay yourself for Qiao Qiao! You must have yourself in your eyes first before life can be lived well!"

How precious is a girl's youth!

Grandma said with extra force: "Besides, what conditions are good or bad, and matching status... when looking at people, you can't just look at conditions; you have to look at the person's character! As long as hearts are united, it doesn't matter if the family is poor."

"Even if you have a million or eight hundred thousand in your hands, if you find someone in the city who has no house or car, if they look down on you, don't they still think you're a farmer?"

"So, money is secondary. As long as we girls stand upright and cherish ourselves, those are all external things; life can always be lived well!"

Song Tan was greatly shocked.

Just... her grandma's philosophy was very reasonable; it was just that she knew too little and was too one-sided.

It was just that... if she didn't urge marriage, it would be even better.

She could only helplessly use the procrastination method: "Don't worry, don't worry, in two years, let's talk about it in two years..."

Grandma didn't rush to urge her either:

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry. I'll live in the village more later and see who has a good young man, and I'll ask around to save him for you first..."

Song Tan:...

She thought, did I farm my way into a talent show? And save him for myself? How to save?

How was her grandma more difficult to communicate with than Grandma? Clearly, the stubbornness of the old Wu family was inherited!

Moreover, she was really afraid that Grandma would go and ask around properly—

It wasn't that Song Tan was bragging, but her current conditions were indeed excellent in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. Mothers-in-law wanted a daughter-in-law who could earn money, and men wanted a beautiful girlfriend... these were all common human feelings.

If Grandma leaked the news, and people really came to cut rice in the field, even if she didn't agree, wouldn't she have to pay for a meal and the family's social obligation?

It was all troublesome!

At this moment, she could only pretend to sigh:

"Grandma, you don't know, actually there is someone quite excellent pursuing me, and he even sent me a bouquet of flowers from thousands of miles away a while ago... but he is a bit far away and hasn't made up his mind to settle down in our old home."

"So I didn't agree."

"Isn't this... let's wait and see first. Don't ask around blindly. If it spreads, people will think I'm two-timing and looking for a backup."

Grandma frowned:

"You didn't agree, and it doesn't sound like dating? Why can't you look for a backup?"

She pondered, and what she said was very insightful: "I estimate this one of yours won't work. No matter how people talk about gender equality now, the education men receive from childhood is like that; like your grandfather, they are just obsessed with face."

Grandfather, who didn't dare to make a sound in the back seat, widened his eyes:... What did I do?

Only hearing Grandma analyze again: "A grown man, without his own career, coming to the woman's side to work or something, unless their assets are so much that the village wouldn't dare believe it, otherwise people will still say behind their backs that he is a son-in-law living with the wife's family."

"You say a son-in-law living with the wife's family, among men, if they are thin-skinned, they can't stand people discussing them. Even if they are open-minded, after a long time, even the best relationship easily develops knots... it's not safe."

Song Tan:... Miscalculation.

Her grandma, when serious, was actually exceptionally reasonable.

So she had to make an even more tangled appearance:

"Grandma, what you said is reasonable... but that person is very good-looking and matches me well."

Grandma instantly straightened her back and came to her spirit: "What does he look like? Is there a photo? Let me see!"

Song Tan:... I don't even know who this person is, how can I show you?

Riding a tiger and hard to get off, she could only laugh dryly: "That won't do, this matter hasn't been settled yet; I'll show you, Grandma, when I'm sure."

While sighing with relief, she thought, when she got home, she had to tell everyone in the family about this first.

If it really didn't work... she could only sacrifice Brother Yanping first!

He was old and didn't have a partner; he was just a good candidate!

If that didn't work, there was Xin Jun, there was Wang Wang...

Thinking this way, Song Tan felt stable again.

At the same time, Lu Chuan, the "son-in-law" who refused to return to the countryside with Song Tan, was currently lying on a mat, struggling to maintain his plank.

】

An eye-catching alarm clock was placed in front, and beads of sweat the size of beans were falling from his forehead and chin. As he watched the time of 49 minutes and 32 seconds on it jump forward, the shock in his heart grew greater—

Something was not quite right.

Anyone who has worked out knows that core strength is not achieved overnight, but accumulated bit by bit.

Before his car accident, he could only hold a plank for ten minutes at most each time.

But ever since the accident, and even...

Lu Chuan's eyes couldn't help but move to his bare arms.

It wasn't an illusion; the marks on his body were really fading, and he even saw large pieces of dead skin falling off the scars every few days.

It was as if his whole body was repairing itself rapidly...

He was a storyteller, and at this moment, he couldn't help but fantasize about some kind of adventure after a car accident.

But in the end, Lu Chuan just laughed at himself for a moment—storytelling was storytelling, but he couldn't let his own brain have problems.

Thinking this way, the air in his chest leaked, and then he couldn't hold on anymore, stopping the plank at 52 minutes.

After doing a few more stretches, the day's exercise was over.

After a simple wash, Lu Chuan opened the door and came to the terrace.

The terrace, about to welcome July, was exceptionally hot, and the sunshade had been pulled up early. The rich floral fragrance was rolled by the wind, echoing softly between breaths, not only not making people dizzy but making them feel even more refreshed.

Because the weather was too hot, many Chinese roses were no longer standard, and the petals were scattered.

He walked to the pink Dragon Rose beside him and carefully observed the leaves—

None.

Nothing at all.

In previous years, the red spiders, powdery mildew, and even black spots that were the most headache-inducing were now nowhere to be seen.

And this year, he hadn't even had time to spray medicine. The only thing he used was those golden tobacco leaves soaking in the bucket in the corner.

Thinking about the taste of the tea and honey at home, Lu Chuan couldn't help but have some very unscientific fantasies again... ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
