Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Third Grandpa’s house was located in a small town below Fuzhou, about ten kilometers away from the city center. Along the way, Zhou Chao didn’t drive very fast. It took almost half an hour to reach the destination.

When Zhou Chao and his group arrived, Third Grandpa’s courtyard was already bustling with activity. Some were washing vegetables, some were playing cards, but most were sitting around chatting.

After parking the car in a spot, Zhou Chao opened the door and got out. As he looked at the lively crowd, occasionally recognizing a familiar face, he felt a bit nervous for some reason.

A slender hand quietly grasped Zhou Chao’s hand. Looking at Jiang Li’s smiling face, Zhou Chao’s nervousness vanished.

Third Aunt, who was walking ahead, saw Zhou Chao and Jiang Li still standing there and called out loudly, “What are you two still doing there? Come over here quickly!”

“Coming, Third Aunt!” Zhou Chao responded and led Jiang Li over.

At this moment, the people sitting in the courtyard also turned their gaze over. Several elderly ladies, with curious eyes, looked over.

“Oh, who is this? Such a handsome young man!”

“Indeed, he’s quite talented and beautiful. Isn’t the one walking in the front from the Zhou family, Nai Rong?”

“Yes, it’s Nai Rong. I remember her daughter just went to college, and it’s said to be a good one. Do you know this young man? It seems like he came with Nai Rong just now. Could he be from the Zhou family?”

“I don’t think so. I know all the young people from the Zhou family, and none of them look like him.”

“Nonsense! Have you forgotten about the eldest of the Zhou family? There’s only one child left in the family. I think that young man looks like him.”

“Is it true? I heard that ever since his parents died in a car accident, he never came back. Why did he come back this time, and he even brought a wife. Looks like they’re already married. Look at how big her belly is.”

“Who knows, it’s really rare. Did you see the car he drove just now? That luxurious car must cost at least several hundred thousand.”

“It seems he really made money these years.”

“Made money? Who knows, maybe he’s just being kept as a toy boy by some rich woman. Look at his appearance and figure, tsk tsk, those rich women in the big cities like this type.”

“It’s quite possible. He’s only 26 this year, yet he’s driving such a good car. Maybe he’s doing something shady outside!”

For a while, the old ladies’ gossip became more and more enthusiastic. When Zhou Chao and the others approached, the voices lowered a bit, but they still looked at Zhou Chao and Jiang Li with curious eyes.

One of the old ladies asked curiously, “Young man, are you the only child of the Zhou family?”

The Zhou family mentioned by the old lady was his grandfather. It wasn’t just that their family had bad luck, but the older generation didn’t live long after his parents died in a car accident.

Zhou Chao calmly nodded, “Yes, I am Zhou Xiaoyu’s grandson.”

“I remember you’re called Zhou… Zhou Chao. It’s been a few years since we last met, and you’re already married. Your parents would be so happy if they were still alive!” They were adept at playing this game of speaking differently depending on the person they met, and they played it skillfully.

“Mm-hmm!” Zhou Chao nodded lightly. He heard clearly what those old ladies said just now. Not losing his temper was already showing them alot of respect.

“Zhou Lao San, Zhou Lao San, come and see who’s back. Hurry up and come take a look.” A grandmother shouted loudly towards the crowd not far away.

Zhou Nai’an, the third son of Third Grandpa’s family, walked out of the crowd upon hearing the call. He looked over and when he saw Zhou Chao’s figure, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly walked over.

“Grandson, why did you come back? And who is this, your wife? When did you get married? Last time you came back, why didn’t you mention it? You got married and didn’t even call home to let us know.” Third Uncle excitedly patted Zhou Chao’s arm.

Feeling the strong pat, Zhou Chao’s mouth twitched slightly, but he still wore a smile on his face. He knew it was an unconscious action of excitement from Third Uncle.

“Third Uncle, Ah Li and I just got our marriage certificate. We haven’t had the wedding yet, so we didn’t call you to tell you about it.”

Jiang Li beside him also politely called out, “Third Uncle!”

“Ah!” Hearing Jiang Li’s address, Third Uncle’s face lit up like a flower, and his hand stopped its movement.

“Come on, let’s go inside first. I’m really happy. You’re the first of your generation, and it looks like we’ll see a new member of the Zhou family next year!” Third Uncle beckoned Zhou Chao and Jiang Li to foliowhim into the house.

As the eldest of the young generation of the Zhou family, Zhou Chao was setting a good example now. Moreover, with only him left in the Zhou family, it could be considered as the family branching out.

Following Third Uncle inside, Zhou Chao glanced around and remembered most of the people were from the Zhou family. Uncle, Second Uncle’s figures were unmistakably among them, sitting on stools playing mahjong with a few people Zhou Chao didn’t recognize.

As soon as they entered, Third Uncle shouted loudly, “Big Brother, Second Brother, look who’s back. Xiao Chao brought his wife back.”

Everyone playing mahjong and those watching turned their gazes over. The younger generation’s eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, secretly wondering who this handsome guy was that made Third Uncle so excited..
