But considering his father's identity, it's a bit worrisome! Gu Huazi waved his hand and put his arm around Ban Xia's shoulder, instructing, "Daughter, don't talk about romantic relationships until you're 20 years old. Before that, everything is off-limits." He seemed to see his own future self in Gu Wei Qiang, and if some young punk dared to try to steal his daughter away from him in the future, not only would they not be able to sit at the dinner table together, but they wouldn't even be able to enter the house.

  Hmph! He's a man of his word.

  Ban Xia crawled out of Gu Hua Zi's arms and coaxed him, "I won't marry, from now on you have to support me for the rest of my life."

  Gu Hua Zi patted his chest proudly, "It's a lot! He now has two jobs at the textile mill, and his salary is not low. Plus, neighbors often come to him for minor illnesses, and everyone pays according to their ability, some giving more, some less. Gu Hua Zi's income is now several times what it used to be!

  In addition to Jiu Xiang's good cooking skills, she pulled her connections and went to the state-run restaurant's kitchen to help out. Although the salary was not high for a month, it was also around 20 yuan. Being frugal, it was enough for their family to live in the county town.

  Gu's wages, aren't they being saved up? Obviously, the matter of taking in a son-in-law hasn't been put down yet. He plans to first save up enough money, and if it really doesn't work out later, then he'll take in a son-in-law. They can also help with some chores, so that Xia won't suffer too much.

  Gu Wei Qiang saw the father and daughter working together so well, he put down his chopsticks, looked at An An seriously and said: "Daughter, Dad can raise you, you don't have to get married! Dad will support you for your whole life." This is probably every father's wish in the world, hoping that their beloved daughter would be treated like a princess her whole life, being pampered by her father, rather than being taken away by some stinky little brat. Not only that, but after their own precious daughter gets married and goes to the husband's family, she still has to serve them.

  Thinking of this, Gu Wei's heart is aching!

  An An got up, used a spoon to scoop out a piece of tube bone for Gu Weiqiang, which still had a lot of meat on it. When he ate until the end, after sucking in one mouthful, the marrow was so fragrant that it was unbearable.

  She said, "Daddy! I won't get married, just rely on you to support me for the rest of my life." Ah, this sentence made Gu Weiqiang feel so happy that he couldn't help but think that his own daughter was really well-raised, and even her bones looked good, all meat.

  It's just that some families are happy and some are worried. Lu Yan, as the future son-in-law, sat at the dinner table and heard this, his face turned black with anger. If An An really didn't marry for a lifetime, what would he do?

  Die a bachelor!

  No way! Just thinking about it made Lu Yan's hair stand on end with worry.

  Old Master Lang, as Lu Yan's elder, felt a little heartache for the young man's future bachelorhood. He took the initiative to smooth things over and said, "Little Gu! Now it's like this, when your daughter grows up to be twenty-something and doesn't get married, the gossip from the neighbors will drown the kids. You think about your own daughter being criticized by those women, saying she's not good here or there, that she must have some hidden illness, otherwise why would she become an old maid and can't even get married?"

  The old man's words are not nonsense, but solid facts. Nowadays, a 20-year-old girl who hasn't married is considered an old maid. As for those who haven't married at 25, they will be ridiculed to death by their neighbors. At this age, if you still haven't married, no matter how excellent you are, in the eyes of your neighbors, there must be something wrong with you, that's why you can't get married.

  Don't underestimate the power of gossiping women! Their mouths are like knives, stabbing people and causing bloodshed. He had encountered one such woman years ago, a 26-year-old girl who was said to have been married three times before, but due to various reasons, none of them worked out. In the end, she became known as a "husband-killer" after being constantly gossiped about by these women. Wherever she went, people would point and whisper about her.

  Later, the girl couldn't bear it anymore, hung a rope and fell under the eaves of the house. When people found out, it was already too late.

  Gu Weiqiang and Gu Huazi had also heard about this matter, but after Old Master Lang's hint, they were shocked. Their starting point was good, feeling sorry for their daughter to suffer after marriage, but if because of them, it would harm their daughter for a lifetime.

  These two fathers will regret this till they die.

  The old master saw Gu Weiqiang and Gu Huazi, both of whom changed their faces. He continued to flatter, seeking benefits for his own son, "Of course, if you can find a good place for your daughter, it's another matter. Not only that, but you two will also have grandchildren soon! If you're lucky, you'll have a granddaughter just like your daughter, what a wonderful family joy! I guarantee you'll love it." The old master described it too beautifully, successfully fooling Gu Weiqiang and Gu Huazi.

  It's not that Gu Weiqiang and Gu Huazi are too stupid to be easily deceived, but when it comes to their own daughter, these two old fathers tend to act foolishly.

  Looking at the old father with a hint of excitement, Lang Lao Ye subtly winked at Lu Yan, thinking to himself that he was not only helping his own son but also inadvertently helped Gu Huai Zi's future son-in-law.

  As expected, the old ginger is still spicy. Lu Yan couldn't help but admire his own father more and more, and under the table, he gave a thumbs up to his father. With just one sentence from his father, he didn't know how many years earlier he could marry a wife! This was a huge deal!

  An An and Ban Xia exchanged a glance, perplexed. They were just high school students, so why were their elders at home so keen on talking about their marriages? They weren't even adults yet! Hmm... they were already fantasizing about holding their grandchildren in the future.

  An'an had a headache, she touched Dongdong and Jiangjiang's little heads, seriously saying: "You two shouldn't be like your father in the future! We're not in a hurry to get married, you two don't have to rush to find wives either."

  Dongdong and Jiangjiang, although young, also knew the meaning of marrying a wife. The two children were a bit shy, but still put on a serious face, nodded solemnly, "Sister! We won't let you marry, we'll take care of you in the future." In the eyes of the two children, if their sister got married, someone would come and take their sister away from them, which was absolutely unacceptable.

  Got it, got it, settled the old father, and there are still two younger uncles, one more difficult to deal with than the other. It's a long way to go! I'm afraid that our own stinky brat wants to marry An'an, and that road is still long!!!

  Old Master Lang looked at this and sympathetically glanced at Lu Yan, gesturing, "Father, I'll take care of it for you, but Little Brother-in-law is up to you." In Old Master Lang's eyes, Little Brother-in-law was an even more troublesome existence than Gu Wei, especially with Jiang Jiang's rebellious thoughts being even more severe. Whenever Lu Yan got close to An An, Jiang Jiang would be like a little wolf cub, her eyes full of vigilance.
