Chapter 759: We’re All Family!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The four of them walked into the courtyard.

Just as they reached the door, they bumped into Xiao Yang coming out of the house.

“Brother Yang, where are you going?” asked Zhou Chao.

“The old man asked me to come out and see if you guys had arrived. I didn’t expect to meet you guys just as I came out!” replied Xiao Yang.

After speaking, Xiao Yang saw Third Uncle and the others behind Zhou Chao, so he quickly went forward to greet them.

“Third Aunt, Uncle, hello, I’m Jiang Li’s cousin, Xiao Yang. Please come in quickly!”

Seeing Xiao Yang’s enthusiastic demeanor, Zhou Chao couldn’t believe his eyes and rubbed them hard.

He never expected Xiao Yang, who rarely smiled, to have such a side.

“Hello, hello!” Third Aunt and Third Uncle quickly responded.

Then, under Xiao Yang’s lead, the group walked into the courtyard.

After several turns, they arrived at a somewhat ancient-looking room.

“Please come in~” Xiao Yang extended his right hand to gesture for Third Aunt and Third Uncle to enter first. fгeewebnovёl.com

Third Aunt and Third Uncle glanced at each other, their breaths becoming somewhat hurried. They knew that after pushing open this door, they would see several important figures they had only seen on TV before.

Seeing the two people still hesitating, Zhou Chao knew what was going on. “Third Aunt, let me take you in!”

After saying that, he walked up and pushed open the door. The two old men and others who were chatting vigorously in the room turned their eyes towards the door.

Seeing Zhou Chao leading two middle-aged men and women and Jiang Li in, Jiang Youdao and his wife quickly stood up and hurried over.

“Hello, you must be Xiao Zhou’s Third Aunt and Uncle, right? I’m Jiang Li’s dad, Jiang Youdao, and this is her mom, Liya.”

Jiang Youdao said warmly, completely devoid of his previous imposing demeanor.

Seeing the enthusiastic Jiang Youdao, Third Aunt and Third Uncle weren’t as nervous as before, especially when Third Uncle took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Youdao, showing the demeanor a man should have in important situations.

“Hello, we’ve heard about you from Zhou Chao a long time ago, but we never had the chance to meet. We hope you’ll bear with us.”

“Oh, no need to be so polite. We all know what’s going on, there’s no need for such formality. After all, we’re all family now!”

Jiang Youdao also knew about Zhou Chao’s family situation, so he hadn’t actively arranged for both sides’ parents to meet after Zhou Chao and Jiang Li had been married for so long. After all, mentioning parents was like cutting a knife in Zhou Chao’s heart.

Third Aunt and Third Uncle also got to know Jiang and Xiao, the two old gentlemen, pulled over by Jiang Youdao, and gradually calmed down from their initial nervousness.

Watching Third Aunt and Third Uncle chatting with his parents-in-law, Zhou Chao’s slight uneasiness disappeared completely.

“Xiao Chao!”

Jiang, sitting at the head of the table, waved to Zhou Chao.

“Do you need something, Grandpa Jiang?” Zhou Chao hurried over.

Before Jiang could speak, Xiao Lao, somewhat angrily, said, “Humph, someone didn’t even come to see this old man when they returned to Jingdu. Oh, how the world has changed!”

Zhou Chao’s head felt like it had grown a size larger instantly upon hearing this, and he hurriedly explained, “How could that be, Grandpa? I just came back yesterday, and I was planning to come and see you, but who knew my Third Aunt and the others would arrive in Jingdu…”

“I don’t care about that. You, boy, think about how to compensate this old man properly!”

Xiao Lao pursed his lips, displaying a “you figure it out” expression.

“Alright, Grandpa, I happen to have quite a few good wines stored over in Modu. I’ll have Lin Wu deliver them to your house in a couple of days. How does that sound?”

As soon as he heard about the good wine, Xiao Lao’s eyes squinted, his lips slightly curled upwards, but his face showed a nonchalant expression.

“What good wine is it? Is it as good as the ones you gave me before?”

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at the old man’s expression.

“It’s the same as before, all collectible-grade wines. There are still about two or three cases left.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lao’s choked voice rang out, loud enough to draw the attention of Jiang Youdao and the others who were chatting nearby.

Even Xiao Lao, who had experienced many storms, had a blush on his face at this moment.

Despite his age and thick skin, this statement wasn’t without significance.

After clearing his throat twice, Xiao Lao looked at everyone seriously and said, “Sorry, I drank water too quickly just now and choked. It’s nothing, please continue chatting!”

The others weren’t sure what had happened exactly, so they turned back and resumed their conversation. In the meantime, Xiao Yang also came to inquire if it was time to serve the dishes.

“Xiao Chao, those few cases of wine have been sitting around for so long. Just as you said, send them all to my place, and I’ll keep them safe for you!”

“Humph, Xiao Lao, if you want to drink, just say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush like this. Do you think everyone here is too stupid to see through your little scheme?” Jiang’s old man mercilessly exposed Xiao Lao’s intentions.

“What’s wrong, Jiang Old Man? This was gifted to me by my grandson-in-law as a sign of respect. Hey, I won’t give you a sip!” Xiao Lao retorted.

“He’s still my grandson-in-law. If I ask for it, what kind of wine wouldn’t he give me?” Jiang’s old man was also getting a bit worked up now.

Watching the two old men compete with each other, Zhou Chao didn’t know whether to intervene or not.
