Chen Xiangnan went home dejectedly. On his way home, he ran into Old Chen.

His father happily bought a package containing something he didn't know, and treasured it so much that he wouldn't even let him take a look at it.

"Dad, Wang Dahai is getting married."

Old Chen's eyes widened. "What? That blockhead is getting married? To whom? He'll be so happy!"

Grandma Xia walked up quickly from behind and heard the conversation. "Who? Dahai? That's wonderful news! I need to talk to your Aunt Wang about it."

In the blink of an eye, she was a foot away from them; she was always very proactive in these kinds of things.

Why won't my mom find me one?

Old Chen tried to call for help but couldn't get anyone to stop. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you supposed to be traveling all over the country? How come you can't even find a wife?"

Grandma Xia was sitting in the best chair in Aunt Wang's house, which was covered with a soft cushion and was very comfortable to sit in.

As soon as she walked in, she loudly announced that her family was having a happy occasion, which left Aunt Wang completely stunned.

"Sister Xia, don't try to fool me. My Dahai really has a boyfriend?"

Grandma Xia leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "How could it be false? My second son may not be very reliable at work, but he wouldn't say such things casually. When he saw your Dahai... oh dear, it's embarrassing to even say it."

Aunt Wang shoved Uncle Wang aside and plopped down next to Old Lady Xia. "Is that girl pretty? Isn't she gentle, kind, and sweet? I wonder if my blockhead son will upset her. How long have they known each other? Who introduced them?"

Grandma Xia: ...How would I know? Anyway, I wasn't the one who introduced them.

"Oh dear, just wait for him to bring people back!" Old Mrs. Xia was also happy for Wang Meihua. Wang Meihua was only a few years younger than her, and in this era, she was considered to have had children late. So, her second son already had children who were several years old, while her two sons were still unmarried.

They chatted happily, and no one noticed that Uncle Wang left through the back door.

"Oh, you know, my biggest wish is for my eldest son to get married soon. He's not getting any younger, and he's still all alone. It makes me feel bad every time I see him like this."

"Our family is finally going to have a little girl. She can be well-behaved or a little feisty, whatever her personality, as long as she's not a wicked person, I'll like her." Aunt Wang muttered to Grandma Xia for a long time.

Grandma Xia said, "You have a good temperament and don't hold grudges, so you'll definitely get along well with your daughter-in-law. I'm telling you, being your daughter-in-law is a real blessing."

Aunt Wang pulled Old Lady Xia into the bedroom to rummage through her clothes. "When is that brat going to bring her here to meet me? How about this one? Does it make me look kind and approachable? Or this one, something a bit more elegant would be nice. How about this one? It's a new dress I just made. Wearing it will show that I value her."

Grandma Wang was overjoyed and didn't know what she was doing.

"Could I borrow that silk scarf you brought last time? It's so beautiful. Once I've decided on it, I'll ask your Xiang Hong to send it to me as a gift for my daughter-in-law."

"How much should I give as a gift? I should give her more than usual so she knows I'm very satisfied with her."

Grandma Xia: "Alright, you can borrow anything you want from me. You're my first daughter-in-law, so I'll definitely lend you whatever I can."

Grandma Wang quietly asked her, "Isn't your second son planning to remarry?"

Grandma Xia: "Him? I don't care about his business. He's got his own ideas, and he might even want to find a wife who's perfect in every way. If I introduce someone to him and he's not satisfied, he'll blame me later."

Grandma Wang: "That can't be. Your second son seems to have a very good personality. I've seen quite a few girls like him."

Grandma Xia: "That's even better, then I won't have to worry about it anymore."

The door opened, and Wang Dahai returned.

"Mom, Dad!" Wang Dahai called out as soon as he entered the door.

Grandma Wang strode past Grandma Xia and rushed out; she wanted to ask her daughter-in-law about the matter.

When Grandma Xia followed her out, she found that Grandma Wang was frozen in place, completely still.

"What is this...?" Old Mrs. Xia's eyes widened. This brat brought the girl home without informing the matchmaker or being with her parents. He just brought her home so brazenly and without any sense of propriety.

That's why there's an old saying that a barking dog doesn't bite; Wang Dahai always messes things up when it comes to important matters.

Can you just bring this girl home like that? Isn't that ruining their reputation?

Grandma Xia immediately came to her senses, took the girl's hand, and opened the door.

"Oh, sea, who is this...?"

Wang Dahai spoke hesitantly, his voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, as if he were the shy young wife, "He's my boyfriend."

Mu Chudan, on the other hand, was poised and even held her head high. "Auntie, we're dating. My name is Mu Chudan. Auntie, this is for you. Please accept it."

Grandma Xia nudged Grandma Wang, and Grandma Wang finally realized that all her plans had been useless.

But in that instant, Grandma Wang thought of many things.

For example, this child brought someone home so rudely, did he do something bad to the girl? Is she going to become a grandmother right away?

This girl seems like a good kid. She's dressed nicely and even has a watch on her wrist. With such a good family background, how could she possibly be interested in her mentally challenged son?

Could this girl have eloped with his son on a whim? Her family might not even approve, otherwise why wouldn't she have brought her family along?

Also, that brat Wang Dahai, he didn't even bother to tell me beforehand. I had no idea he had a girlfriend.

Because Mu Chudan was there, Old Lady Wang couldn't scold her son as usual. Her old man was nowhere to be found at this crucial moment; he didn't even know to pour her a glass of water.

Having witnessed all the bizarre things her old man had done, she was only stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and invited the other person to sit down.

"Dandan, do your parents know about this?"

Mu Chudan: "They know, they can't wait for us to succeed immediately."

Grandma Wang found it a bit strange. "Oh, why didn't they come together this time?"

Mu Chudan: "Because I wanted you to see me first, I don't know if you're satisfied? Next time, I'll have my parents bring the matchmaker along."

He had to please his family first before he could marry her smoothly, Mu Chudan thought to herself that she made a good point.

Old Mrs. Wang dreamed of having a daughter-in-law. Even though her words sounded a bit strange, and even though her visit this time was a bit abrupt, the fact that the girl had brought gifts meant she must be a polite and normal daughter-in-law. This idea must have come from her good-for-nothing eldest son, otherwise the girl would never have done such a thing.

She was satisfied, extremely satisfied.
