Chapter 472 The Fang Family

Grandma Zhu sat on the mahogany sofa in the living room, her eyes sweeping lovingly over her grandchildren inside and outside the house, then looking at her four filial and considerate daughters-in-law, her heart overflowing with happiness.

Back then, she was just the daughter of an uneducated bandit leader. Who would have thought she would be where she is today?

The sons are all capable and filial, the daughters-in-law get along well, the nine grandchildren are all sensible and filial, and the brothers and sisters live in harmony.

This life has truly been worthwhile.

She felt that all of this was thanks to her brilliant and resourceful actions back then!

Although the old lady had not received much formal education, she considered herself to be quick-witted.

She and her husband were rough men who were skilled with weapons and had little education. Their sons grew up wildly during their childhood, and the fact that none of them turned out badly was entirely due to the good deeds and blessings they accumulated on the battlefield fighting for their country.

But the next generation of grandchildren may not be so lucky.

She and her husband were determined to help the Zhu family completely shed its "uneducated peasant" image and ensure the continued prosperity and longevity of the Zhu family line.

Who among them who has reached their position doesn't have some ambition?

So, as her eldest son grew up and his behavior became more and more like his rough father, Old Madam Zhu couldn't sit still any longer. She went to her two good sisters and old comrades-in-arms from prestigious families for advice.

Madam Wei and Madam Zhou taught her a lesson: whether a family is harmonious or not, and whether the grandchildren are well-educated, depends on the son, but the character and upbringing of the daughter-in-law are even more crucial.

Marry a virtuous wife, for marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations – these are lessons learned by our ancestors through blood and tears.

Madam Zhu didn't understand complicated principles, but she understood one thing: if she couldn't rely on her son, she could switch tracks and start with her daughter-in-law!

As the saying goes, "Listen to advice, and you'll have a full stomach!"

She's the kind of person who listens to advice the most!

At that time, the younger generation in the compound who were about the same age as Zhu Kaige, the eldest son of the Zhu family, all began to talk about marriage, and the whole compound was very lively.

Every family has its own approach: some let their sons date freely, and whether the daughter-in-law is good or not depends entirely on fate;

Some couples forcefully arrange marriages, placing their supposedly good female relatives' daughters in their sons' lives. As for how those relationships turn out, well, that's up to their conscience.

There are also marriages arranged purely for the benefit of the family. The elders are satisfied, but the feelings of the children are completely unimportant.

This won't do...

She wanted to change the family's social standing and hoped that her grandchildren would receive the right education and upbringing, become outstanding and upright, but she couldn't ignore her son's happiness.

So when she was choosing a daughter-in-law, she consulted with her two best friends. After deciding on a candidate, she also had her son and the woman get to know each other better so that their good intentions wouldn't backfire and they wouldn't become a resentful couple.

Only when both sides felt it was suitable did they finalize the marriage arrangements.

Oh, none of this has anything to do with her youngest son.

Her youngest son was smarter than his older brothers from a young age. He knew right from wrong from childhood and had his eye on her best friend's precious daughter early on. He fought and snatched her away many steps ahead and won her over. He was also very good at pleasing his in-laws, so his parents didn't have to worry about him at all.

Most importantly, the couple gave the Zhu family their only precious daughter!

The more the old lady thought about it, the happier she became, her mouth stretched into a wide grin... she couldn't stop it, she simply couldn't stop it!

The old man strolled around in front of his wife with his hands behind his back, but she didn't notice him. He plopped down next to her in a huff, looking at her with disdain, and said, "You old lady, stop laughing. It's the New Year, and if you keep grinning like that, it'll scare people!"

The smile on Madam Zhu's face vanished instantly. She slowly turned her head and glanced at the scene, letting out a cold laugh. Her aura was incredibly oppressive.

"Zhu Dadao, have I been too kind to you? Are you trying to force me to beat you up when I'm at my happiest?"

Zhu Dadao: "..."

The old man's scalp tingled from the joke. With a speed and agility far beyond his years, he twisted his waist, stood up, and strode towards the door, trying to save face as he went.

"That old bastard Zhu Ertie is getting more and more of a scoundrel. Dinner is almost ready, why isn't he back yet? I'll go to the door to greet him."

The three Zhu children in the courtyard watched with great curiosity as their grandfather hurriedly walked out of the gate, looking as if a tigress was chasing him!

"By the way, little sister, why didn't you bring Huahua and Fugui with you?" Zhu Guo thought of his sister's two majestic and powerful beasts, and his mouth watered in his dreams. He thought he would be able to see them when he came back for the New Year.

Bai Nuo looked up at Zhu Guo, who was covered in sweat but hadn't uttered a single word about giving up.

The Zhu family truly lives up to its reputation as a military family. Even the youngest member, Zhu Guo, who hasn't joined the army yet, possesses the tenacity inherent in soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.

“They’re both too big. When they lived in the family compound, some people were afraid of them, let alone here. During the Spring Festival, there are many elderly people and children in every household. It would be troublesome if they were frightened by bringing them back. When we went out, we took them to the mountains to play. There are many animals in the mountains that they know. It’s like a Spring Festival gathering for them.”

Zhu Kaixuan had originally planned to bring them to Compound No. 1, but Bai Nuo ultimately decided against it. It was the Lunar New Year; there was no need to cause trouble for the Zhu family.

So she immediately put her four little ones into her space. How could she bear to let her four furry kids spend the New Year alone in the mountains? They definitely had to go back to her space to spend the New Year comfortably with the little system and the three robots. She and Fang Meng could also go in and check on them when they had nothing to do in the evenings.

"By the way, Second Brother. Just now when we were inside, Grandma asked me if we should go to the Fang family's house today, since it's New Year's Eve."
