"Is this true?"

Mr. Lin looked at Li Yanqi who was kneeling below with burning eyes and asked anxiously.

Li Yanqi clasped his hands together, knelt straight, and assured with a serious face: "I am not lying."

Mr. Lin admitted that he was moved. He and his wife, Lin Zhi, loved each other very much in this life. Their eldest daughter was pretty and well-behaved, and their second daughter was also brought home and was about to get married. If he had any regret, it was that he had no one to carry on the family line.

Let me ask you, is there any man who doesn't care about incense and offerings? Even if he claims to be open-minded enough, he cannot say that he doesn't care at all.

But Li Yanqi was willing to cut off his own family line and marry into the Lin family for the sake of his eldest daughter.

What reason does he have to doubt his sincerity, and what reason does he have to refuse?

He knew very well the importance of the inheritance of incense to his son. As an elder trusted by Li Yanqi, no matter how tempted he was, he could not go against his conscience and cut off someone else's incense.

"We agree to your marriage proposal, but... you don't have to marry into the family."

Mother Lin desperately pulled at Mr. Lin's sleeves, gnashing her teeth and whispering, "Are you getting old and confused?"

She turned around and gave Li Yanqi a big laugh.

"Yanqi, don't listen to this old man's nonsense."

Mother Lin didn't care about the incense and incense. She only thought that if Li Yanqi married into the family, their daughter, who had been pampered and brought up, would not have to leave home and live under the roof of her husband's family. How could she let her daughter suffer and be wronged under the watchful eyes of the couple?

This was something she had never thought of, and she didn't know why her husband refused. She was so angry that she pinched her husband's arm.

Mr. Lin was pinched and felt pain. He tried his best to dodge backwards, shouting as he did so.

"Hiss! No matter what, Yan Qi is still a ninth-rank county lieutenant in Yunlong Town. Is my family a wealthy family worthy of my son marrying into the family? Do you think Yan Qi's colleagues won't talk about him behind his back? Won't he be criticized when he goes out? We can't just think about our children. Yan Qi didn't come out of nowhere."

Lin's mother stopped what she was doing immediately.

Yes, if a poor boy with no ability marries into another's family, he will be subject to rumors, not to mention that Li Yanqi is an official traveling abroad.

Even if he didn't care, they couldn't be so selfish as to put him in such an embarrassing situation.

Li Yanqi has grown up traveling among all walks of life and has met all kinds of people. There are very few people or things that can touch him.

But he was moved by his future father-in-law, a man of noble character.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, please listen to me. Do you think this is okay?"

Li Yanqi paused, and the Lin couple's eyes fell on his handsome face, waiting for his next words.

"If I am lucky enough to marry Yanyu, if we have one child, he will be the successor of both families, Li and Lin. If we have two children, the second child will take the mother's surname. Of course, all of this depends on Yanyu's opinion. This is just a personal promise I can make to you."

Mother Lin's eyes flashed with joy, and she squinted at her husband: "Aloof old man, you won't refuse Yan Qi's proposal again, right?"

Mr. Lin was already very happy. Although his wife was sarcastically scolding him, he did not get angry and nodded vigorously at her a few times.

Mother Lin chuckled, walked forward a few steps, supported Li Yanqi's arm, and said softly, "Okay, Yanqi, don't kneel anymore, get up first."

Li Yanqi stood up with the help of her force, and thanked her with a nod and lowered eyebrows.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Why are you still calling me aunt? You should change your tone in a few days."

As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

This was the first time that Lin's mother looked at Li Yanqi seriously, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

He has a rare good figure, neither thin nor strong, with a monkey-like back and a wasp waist. Although his skin is a little dark, his facial features are really good, especially his pair of phoenix eyes, which are like an ink painting, extremely vivid.

Li Yanqi had never been stage-frightened, but at this moment he felt his hair stand on end and he had to grit his teeth and accept the scrutiny of his future mother-in-law.

"Please ask the matchmaker to come tomorrow."

Her thick black eyelashes suddenly lifted up, and she agreed without hesitation: "Okay!"

"Cough! Cough cough!" Mr. Lin was frightened and choked.

"Mei'er, you're being too hasty. Should we ask Zhizhi's opinion first?"

"Don't worry, don't ask."

Mother Lin's tone was a little sarcastic.

How could she not understand her own daughter?

The last time Li Yanqi came to her house for dinner, she saw something was wrong. She was blushing and her heart was beating fast when she went to serve him tea? If she said there was no sign between the two of them, no one would believe it.

Of course she couldn't tell her husband these words.

"Mom's health won't last much longer. I don't want her to have any regrets. Zhizhi's wedding must be quick. Yanqi, do you have any rules for your marriage with Zhizhi?"

Li Yanqi couldn't wait to bring the girl home tonight. When he heard his mother-in-law said to hurry up, he had no objection: "It's all up to my uncle and aunt to arrange."

"Okay, bring the matchmaker tomorrow to propose marriage, place the betrothal gift, and go find a master to find a good day for the wedding. Let's get it done as soon as possible."

On the way here, Li Yanqi kept reminding himself to keep calm in front of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He clenched his fists at this moment, trying hard to suppress the silly smile on the corners of his mouth, but his palms were about to be crushed, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Damn his patience, he couldn't bear it at all. He had been waiting for this joy for too long.

"Okay, Uncle and Aunt, I'll go back and prepare now. Wahahahaha..."

Even though Li Yanqi was fast enough and jumped over the wall in a few leaps and left, his silly laughter still remained in the Lin family courtyard and lingered for a long time.

The old couple of the Lin family were stunned.

Mother Lin hesitated and said, "This child, is he happy and stupid?"

At this time, Lin Yanyu opened the door and entered the main room, followed by a cotton-like snowball. She looked at her parents with a little fear.

"Dad and Mom, did you hear any noise just now? Did the blind bear run down the mountain?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha, hahaha blind bear." Lin's mother couldn't help but slapped the table and laughed.

Mr. Lin, who was always calm and composed, also laughed out loud.

Lin Yanyu was confused. Looking at her mother who was laughing till tears came out, she said angrily, "Mom and Dad, please stop laughing. I just heard a really scary sound. It doesn't sound like something a human could make."

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, the old couple laughed even louder.

Lin's mother laughed the most exaggeratedly. She covered her abdomen and said repeatedly, "Oh, my stomach hurts from laughing. Hahahahahahaha."

"Mom! What on earth are you laughing at? If you keep laughing I'll get mad."

Lin Yanyu puffed up her cheeks, picked up Snowball, and was angry.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Snowball was also cheering for his master.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. I won't laugh anymore."

Seeing that her daughter was really angry, Lin's mother tried her best to hold it in until her stomach hurt, and explained to her daughter.

"Only our Zhizhi's future husband can make that sound just now. Blind Bear can't. No, I can't help it."

After saying that, Lin's mother lay on the table and laughed again.

"Huh? My future husband?"
