CHAPTER 758: 758 VISIT

During the noon break, Yuanyuan was in her room reading a book.

The Zeng Family of four were discussing the happenings at the Yang Family.

"Grandpa, I think the Yang Family won’t be peaceful now, that flower crown was too mysterious," Zeng Hongling kept thinking about this matter.

"Now that you mentioned it today, the Yang Family will definitely take notice. That’s the good thing about the Yang Family, they never get arrogant," Zeng Yaozu admired the Yang Family, feeling envious of them.

The Yang Family is thriving with a large number of people, something other families can’t compare to.

His sons, grandchildren, and granddaughters were few. The Zeng Family had too few people. A family couldn’t possibly thrive with just one or two individuals.

He had taken a liking to a young woman from the Yang Family, wanting to introduce her to Yixin, but the child refused.

Now, he didn’t know what to do. He hoped Yixin could have many children and blessings.

"Grandpa, Yang Liulang was very strange today."

Zeng Yaozu looked at his granddaughter. He knew she had never liked the quiet Yang Liulang since childhood. Why was she paying attention to him today?

"He kept looking at Yuanyuan, which was very abnormal. And he even wanted to give Yuanyuan a painting."

They didn’t know much about the child, nor why this was happening.

"You’ll know in the future, if he really has any plans for Xiao Su, surely there will be some actions," Zeng Zhixuan spoke calmly.

"Don’t overthink it, the Yang Family are wise people, they wouldn’t do anything bad. Even if there are intentions, they would make exchanges of interest. You also understand Xiao Su’s personality. She’s more aware than you."

"Hmph, whatever that eccentric fellow thinks, it’s pointless."

"Go ahead, have fun with Xiao Su. Also, the books in our study can be freely accessed by Xiao Su. Take them if needed."

"Grandpa, Yuanyuan would never do such a thing. Grandpa, I will stand by Xiao Su for my entire life."

Zeng Yaozu and Zeng Zhixuan both looked at Zeng Hongling.

"Hongling, what if Xiao Su gets married and has a family in the future?"

"What difference would it make? We’d still be lifelong friends."

"But following her around would affect her life."

Zeng Hongling frowned, "In that case, I’ll just live next door to Xiao Su’s house. I won’t stay far from her."

"So, you have no plans of starting a family?" Zeng Yaozu asked this with a heavy heart.

"Me? I haven’t thought about it. Actually, I have thought about having a child, but I haven’t found a man I fancy yet."

Zeng Zhixuan looked quite displeased. "Hongling, do you know what you’re saying? Have you not considered the power of people’s words? What about the child in the future? Have you thought about it?"

Zeng Hongling knew this would be the reaction. She had thought of hiding it before. But these were her most beloved family members. She truly didn’t want to deceive them and disappoint the two elders.

"Grandpa, Dad. I don’t want to burden our family, so it’s better not to have one."

The topic was deeply saddening, especially for Zeng Yaozu, who felt even more anguished. It was his own actions that harmed the two children.

"Grandpa, let sister live the way she wants. I’m here to support the family. This time, I’m not leaving. I’ll stay at home,"

The three Zeng Family members were surprised, especially Zeng Hongling, who knew how happy her brother was outside. How could this happen? Does her brother have to sacrifice too? She couldn’t bear it.

The discussion ended there, leaving marks in the hearts of the Zeng Family.

In the afternoon, Su Yuanyuan went to the study. She felt the Zeng Family’s collection of books was quite grand.

However, she wasn’t interested in most of them. She’d choose one to read every day.

In the afternoon, the Zeng Family siblings went to their maternal grandmother’s house, where only two uncles remained.

They weren’t close; the siblings usually visited at the end of the year, and in the years they weren’t at home, it was Zeng Zhixuan who visited.

"Cousin, was the outside world fun?"

The one asking was the little cousin from the eldest uncle’s family.

"It’s alright, it’s pretty strict everywhere. And the weather in the north is really cold. The first time I went, it was the three-nine days, and I spent it on the train. When I got to the capital, it was almost spring, but I was so cold I didn’t want to leave my bed."

"Cousin, was the capital fun?"

"There’s not much to do. Actually, we only spent a little over a month in the capital. The rest of the time was spent by the seaside.

It was too hot in the summer there, look how tan I am. Even now, I haven’t gotten any paler.

And the winter was too cold. The wind cut the face just like a knife."

"It’s still not as nice as home here."

"I don’t know, but I’m a local here, and I still like it here the best."

The two girls chatted and laughed, though their relationship was average. But, after all, they were blood-related.

On the other side, Zeng Yixin was chatting with the two uncles and some cousins.

They were curious about the outside. The siblings said mostly the same things, but Zeng Yixin was less detailed and exaggerated compared to Zeng Hongling.

"Are you going out again this time?"

"I’m not leaving. I’ll stay home with my grandpa and dad."

"Are you okay with your sister going out on her own?"

"She can take care of herself. There’s nothing to worry about,"

As long as sister was with Su Yuanyuan, they wouldn’t get into trouble. Once, he had seen Su Yuanyuan deal with someone who tried to bully them.

Zeng Yixin just laughed on the side.

"Did your grandpa and dad agree to let your sister go?"

"I think they might have agreed. Grandpa didn’t refuse, which means there’s hope."

"Yixin, we’ve never restricted your dad from finding someone else."

The siblings were taken aback. What was this about?

"Didn’t you hear anything when you came back?"

The siblings both shook their heads. Hear what? From whom?

"It’s like this. There’s a widow with a daughter who wants to marry your dad."

"Would my dad agree? Where is she from?"

"She used to know your dad."

"Hmm, we don’t know. We haven’t heard grandpa or dad mention it."

Even the nosy relatives hadn’t mentioned it, suggesting their dad must have told them. But who was the widow? They really couldn’t think of anyone.

"We also hope your dad finds someone else. That way, when you two aren’t around, someone will care for him."

"Uncle, neither my sister nor I have any objections."

"That’s good because the rumors outside aren’t pleasant. They say we’re the ones stopping your dad from finding someone else, insisting he remains loyal to your mom."

The siblings didn’t believe it. The two families weren’t that close. Even if the uncles had opinions, it wouldn’t make a difference. They didn’t care about their opinions. It was mainly up to their dad, how he wanted to live his life.
