Keeping the promise

The weekend sunshine shines through the thin curtains into Zheng Wancheng's cozy bedroom. She is wearing loose home clothes and is leaning comfortably on the sofa, not even turning a few pages of the book in her hand.

Suddenly, a quick doorbell rang, breaking the silence. Zheng Wancheng's heart tightened, and he felt an inexplicable sense of tension.

Butler Li hurried over and whispered outside the door, "Madam, the head of the Li family is here."

Zheng Wancheng's heart tightened, and an indescribable tension suddenly surged into her heart: "How could it be? Why would the head of the Li family suddenly visit at this time?" Her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Zheng Wancheng sat up straight abruptly, a flash of panic on her face, but she quickly calmed herself down. She took a deep breath, quickly fixed her hair and clothes in front of the mirror, trying to make herself look dignified and decent.

When she walked towards the living room with a slightly nervous pace, she saw an old man with a dignified face and extraordinary temperament sitting on the sofa. Zheng Wancheng bowed slightly and said with a trembling voice, "Hello, master."

The head of the Li family raised his head and looked at his granddaughter-in-law in front of him with sharp eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Well, sit down."

Zheng Wancheng sat aside cautiously, his hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, not daring to look the head of the family in the eye. He felt uneasy, wondering why the head of the family had come to visit him suddenly this time.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn, as if even the air had become heavy.

At this moment, her heart was like a turmoil: "Since marrying into the Li family, this is the first time I have faced his family alone. I must not make any mistakes."

Outside the hall, the occasional chirping of birds in the trees added to the solemn atmosphere in the house. The atmosphere in the living room was solemn for a moment, as if even the air had become heavy. Zheng Wancheng felt that every second was extremely long, waiting for the next words, as if waiting for an unknown judgment.

Patriarch Li narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at his granddaughter-in-law in front of him, and said in a steady tone: "You and Yun Ting have been married for a while, are you used to it?"

Zheng Wancheng lowered his eyes, folded his hands in front of him, and replied softly: "Master, Li Yunting and I are supporting each other, and we are doing well."

The head of the family nodded slightly, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes: "Then do you think you are capable of sitting in the position of Madam Li?"

Zheng Wancheng raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination. She took a deep breath and said, "First of all, I think we have a deep relationship and love each other. Moreover, we will work together, support and encourage each other, pursue our dreams together, and achieve our goals. This kind of relationship makes me feel extremely happy and satisfied."

Then, she smiled and continued in a firm tone: "Secondly, I have the ability to manage accounts and can properly handle family financial issues to ensure economic stability. At the same time, I am also good at housework and can take care of my family's daily life. I believe these are the responsibilities of a wife, and I am capable enough to do them."

The head of the Li family looked at his granddaughter-in-law who was neither humble nor arrogant, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

He recalled his own experiences when he was young, when he had also come step by step in this way, never backing down in the face of difficulties and challenges. Now that he saw that Li Shaoting had married such a good wife, he felt very satisfied.

The head of the Li family knew that in order to become the mistress of the Li family, one must not only have sufficient wisdom and ability, but also a firm heart.

Li Shaoting's wife obviously has these qualities. She can not only deal with various complex situations, but also remain calm and rational. This makes the head of the Li family full of confidence in the future. He believes that under her leadership, the Li family will definitely get better and better.

The head of the Li family smiled and said to his grandson's wife, "Very good, young people should have this kind of courage." There was a hint of appreciation and encouragement in his tone, and he hoped that she could continue to maintain it.

At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test his granddaughter-in-law's abilities and knowledge to see if she was really suitable to be the mistress of the Li family.

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard. Li Yunting stepped into the hall with a gloomy face. He stared at the head of the Li family with a sharp gaze and said angrily, "What do you mean, head of the family?"

Patriarch Li sat on a chair, took a sip of the teacup slowly, and responded coldly: "As the head of the family, who do I need your permission to see?"

Li Yunting looked at the person in front of him with a gloomy face, his eyes were as cold as ice, his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles were white, and the veins on his forehead were bulging with anger. His deep voice was full of undisguised hostility: "This is my home, I don't welcome you, please leave immediately!"

The head of the family suddenly put the cup down heavily, and the tea splashed out. "How dare you! I was just having a normal conversation with my grandson's wife, but you made such rude assumptions!"

Seeing the two men on edge, Zheng Wancheng hurried forward to persuade them, "Yun Ting, don't be impulsive. The head of the family also cares about us."

Li Yunting looked at Zheng Wancheng, the anger in his eyes still there: "Wancheng, you don't have to speak for him."

The head of the Li family angrily slammed the table: "Rebellious son! You have no rules!"

The situation became increasingly tense, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Grandpa, Yun Ting is just worried about me." Zheng Wancheng explained hurriedly.
