Chapter 263: Chapter 256: I Will Treat You Well

Tang Zhinian uncommonly flushed, taking a step forward. True, no matter what, he could not let a woman take the lead. The mistake he made was on him, had to be carried by him.

He clenched his teeth, feeling like he was already in a do-or-die situation.

“Dad wants to marry Aunt Ren, would you…be opposed to it?”

“No,” Tang Yuxin had never thought to object.

“Dad, I’m almost eighteen, I’m of age, and already have criminal responsibility, so I can take care of myself. You don’t need to ask me who you want to marry, as long as it makes you happy.”

Hearing his daughter’s lack of objection, Tang Zhinian felt the tension in his heart ease. He had already made up his mind. If Yuxin was against it, he would have to apologize to Ren Li.

In his life, the most important person was his daughter. No one could replace her.

“Yuxin, you truly…do not object?” he asked his daughter cautiously. “If you don’t, then your dad…”

Tang Yuxin suppressed the urge to sigh.

“Dad, I truly don’t object,” she patiently reassured him. Tang Yuxin knew her dad so well. If he were burdened by guilt and only wanted her and not Ren Li, it would be a problem.

“I also like Aunt Ren. When I go to college, she can even cook for you.”

“Really?” Tang Zhinian asked incredulously.

“Really,” Tang Yuxin nodded vigorously.

Only then did Tang Zhinian truly believe her, a broad grin spreading across his face. He did also like Ren Li, whose fiery temperament and bold demeanor made her unafraid to speak or act.

Being such an honest man himself, he was very introverted. If this woman hadn’t pursued him, he might still be a single dad even now.

Tang Yuxin picked up her school bag and was ready to head back to the Xu Family’s home.

Tang Zhinian did not stop her, knowing Tang Yuxin was visiting the Xu Family for study purposes. Throughout these years, these children had always studied together, and their performance has always been the result of this study group.

Turning around, he saw Ren Jiali grinning playfully at him. He scratched his head, an almost forty-year-old man acting bashfully like a young man.

“Silly,” Ren Li reached out her hand/touched his arm, the corner of her mouth tilting upwards with a hint of joy. She couldn’t help but touch her own lips.

When was the last time she truly smiled like this?

In these ten years of marriage, she had long forgotten what it felt like to smile. The man before her was not good-looking, and was a down to earth person. He worked the fields his whole life and had had his fill of hardships. His mind was simple, it was reflected in his straightforward facial expressions. Despite being involved in business now, he was still the same unpretentious and sincere man.

Initially, she hadn’t thought much. She felt that she needed a home. Instead of barely surviving, she might as well get married to someone else. And Tang Zhinian happened to be right there. He had a home, a daughter, and a kind heart. But as she watched the simple smile on his face, her cold heart inexplicably warmed, and twitched ever so slightly.

She reached out to grab Tang Zhinian’s hand tightly. “As long as you are good to me, I will be good to you and your daughter. I will always stay with you and never betray you.”

Tang Zhinian’s hand trembled slightly, but he still held hers back. Ren Li could feel his sweaty palm.

He must be nervous, right?

“I…” Tang Zhinian licked his dry lips. He wasn’t good with words, especially around women. The woman he had the most contact with in his life was his own daughter, Little Yuxin. And even now he didn’t know what she was thinking.

So indeed, he was clueless when it came to dealing with women, yet he yearned to be good to a woman for a lifetime.

“I will be good to you always.”

Ren Li’s eyes suddenly turned red, a thirty-five-year-old woman moved to tears.

Who’s she fooling by saying she doesn’t like him?

Clearly, she does like him.

She wants to marry this man. It’s not forced. Truly.

Tang Yuxin arrived at the Xu Family’s home with her school bag, Xu Miaomiao and Lin Yile were waiting for her to discuss the problems together.

As soon as Tang Yuxin placed her school bag down before even taking out her books.

The doorbell rang.

Xu’s mother popped out of the kitchen where she had been preparing delicious food for the kids. Since the exams were over, there was a need for good nourishment. She bought meat and was preparing to make dumplings for dinner that night.

She wiped her hands on her apron and walked over to open the door.

“Oh, you’re back already?”

Xu’s mother was surprised. The Lind family had been away on business for over two months and they were back unexpectedly. Wasn’t it said that it would take a few more days?

“Yes, we finished everything early and decided to come back.”

Lin’s parents brought in bags of various sizes almost filling up the Xu Family’s living room. They had been away for so long, and it was thanks to Xu’s mother who took care of their daughter. She didn’t know what to do with her child, who had a weak constitution since birth. She was worried wherever she left her, only at Xu’s house did they truly feel relieved.

Three girls living together, Xu’s mother did not show any favouritism. Whatever her own child ate, she gave the same to the other two.

“Sister, these are all local specialties we brought for you, please don’t reject them.”

Lin’s mother squeezed Xu’s mother’s hand, her hands trembling slightly.

“What are you doing, bringing so many things?” Xu’s mother felt embarrassed; a month’s food expenses of 500 yuan was more than sufficient even if the entire Lin family were to eat at her place. Now, they were gifting so much more. Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?

“Sister, please accept these. If you do not, I will feel uneasy,” Lin’s mother said with a smile, “After all, these things have been brought over. You cannot expect us to carry them back. They are not valuable items, they are just things that are not available here.”

Xu’s mother knew she could not refuse, so she accepted,

“Alright, I will accept them. Oh, that reminds me, we can eat dumplings later.”

“Let me help,” Lin’s mother was about to roll up her sleeves to help.

“No need,” Xu’s mother stopped her instantly. “I’ve prepared everything. All we need to do is put them in the pot. There’s no way I’d let Lin’s mother get into the kitchen,” she added. It was obvious that the two had just returned. They probably hadn’t even been home and had come straight here.
