Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

The family members were shocked and sympathetic after hearing this, and they all expressed their willingness to help Zheng Juan get out of the shadow and start a new life.

As time went by, Zheng Juan gradually integrated into the family. She spent many happy times with her family.

She felt the warmth and happiness of home and learned how to get along and communicate with others.

“Bingkun, you have so many little tricks.” Yang Ming suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the courtyard.

Zhou Bingkun raised his head with an awkward smile on his face: "Uncle Yang, please stop making fun of me."

"Make fun of me? I don't have the time for that." Yang Ming put down the jade in his hand and said seriously, "I came here today to discuss something with your family."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhou Zhigang walked out of the house and asked curiously.

"It's about Bingkun's marriage." Yang Ming spoke slowly, his eyes lingering on Zhou Bingkun for a moment.

Zhou Bingkun almost dropped the vegetables in his hand when he heard this. He stared at Yang Ming with wide eyes, as if trying to see something from his face.

"Marriage?" Li Suhua also came out, with a surprised expression on her face, "How old is Bingkun? Why is he talking about marriage?"

"Not young anymore, she's already in her twenties." Yang Ming smiled slightly, "I went to the public bathhouse to take a bath a few days ago and met Qiao Chunyan. That girl is getting more and more beautiful now. I think she is a good match for Bingkun."

"Qiao Chunyan?" Zhou Bingkun interrupted hastily, "She and I grew up together, and I have always treated her as my younger sister."

"Sister? That's perfect, a perfect match." Yang Ming smiled nonchalantly, "You two know each other well, and your personalities complement each other. I think this marriage is a done deal."

"No, no!" Zhou Bingkun waved his hands repeatedly, "She and I have different personalities, and I..."

"Bingkun, marriage is no joke." Zhou Zhigang interrupted Zhou Bingkun, "Yang Ming means well, we have to consider it carefully."

"But..." Zhou Bingkun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Suhua.

"Bingkun, your uncle Yang is right." Li Suhua advised, "Marriage is not a joke, you have to consider it carefully. We have met Qiao Chunyan a few times, and she is indeed a good girl."

"But Mom..." Zhou Bingkun wanted to argue, but when he saw his parents' serious expressions, he knew that it would be futile to say anything more.

Yang Ming was secretly pleased when he saw this. He had long seen that Zhou Bingkun had feelings for Qiao Chunyan, but the boy had always refused to admit it. Today he wanted to make this clear so that everyone in the Zhou family would understand what he meant.

"That's settled then." Yang Ming stood up, "I'll go discuss it with the Qiao family right away."

"Uncle Yang..." Zhou Bingkun wanted to say something, but Yang Ming had already walked out of the yard. He sighed helplessly, but his heart was in a mess.

However, Zhou Bingkun, the youngest child in the family, made his parents worry about him. He was introverted, not good at speaking, and always stayed in the corner quietly. Whenever his marriage was mentioned, his parents frowned, worried that he would not find a good family.

One day, neighbor Yang Ming came to Zhou's house and mentioned the marriage of Qiao Chunyan and Zhou Bingkun. Qiao Chunyan was Zhou Bingkun's childhood sweetheart. The two grew up together and knew each other's families well. Qiao's family was slightly better off, and Zhou's family felt that this marriage was too high for Zhou's family. After hearing what Yang Ming said, Zhou's father and mother were moved and began to seriously consider this marriage.

"I like Chunyan, that girl. If Bingkun marries her, our family will be blessed." Mother Zhou whispered to Father Zhou.

Zhou's father nodded in agreement. They felt that Qiao Chunyan had good character, and the two families knew each other well, so this marriage was indeed a good choice.

Seeing that the Zhou family was interested, Yang Ming took out watch tickets, sewing tickets and industrial coupons as gifts to show his support for the marriage. These were in short supply at the time, and the Zhou family was very excited when they saw them.

"Brother Yang, you are so polite. How can we accept these gifts?" Zhou's mother declined.

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't be polite. These things are nothing to me. As long as Bingkun and Chunyan can live a good life, I will be satisfied." Yang Ming said generously.

Zhou Bingkun listened to their conversation, but his heart was in turmoil. He had never thought that his marriage would be brought up so suddenly, and he had never expected such a result. He was filled with shock and dissatisfaction, but seeing his family and Yang Ming's happy expressions, he did not dare to say anything more.

"Bingkun, what do you think of this marriage?" Zhou's father suddenly asked.

Zhou Bingkun was stunned for a moment, hesitating and unable to speak. He wanted to say that he did not agree with this marriage, but looking at the eyes of his family, he did not dare to say it.

"Bingkun, you are the hope of our family. This marriage is a good thing for you, how can you not agree?" Zhou's mother said earnestly.

Zhou Bingkun was even more conflicted. He knew his family was doing this for his own good, but he really didn't want to be arranged into a marriage. He felt that he should have the right to choose his own partner and life path.

At night, Zhou Bingkun lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He felt as if he had been pushed into an abyss by his family and could not escape. He thought of his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, who might understand his feelings. So he decided to talk to his eldest brother the next day.

The next morning, Zhou Bingkun came to his eldest brother's residence. He told his eldest brother everything that was on his mind, hoping that he could help him with some advice. However, his eldest brother stood on the side of his family and did not support his resistance.

"Bingkun, you have to know that your family is doing this for your own good. This marriage is indeed a good choice, so don't be stubborn anymore." Zhou Bingyi advised.

"Kun'er, Chunyan from the Qiao family is a good girl. You grew up together and know each other well. The marriage is settled." His father's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhou Bingkun's heart.

"But, Dad, I..." Zhou Bingkun wanted to refute, but swallowed the words back. He knew that he could not go against the wishes of his family, so he could only bury the helplessness and confusion in his heart.

"Kun'er, you have to understand that marriage is not a joke. It concerns the honor and future of the family. The Qiao family and our Zhou family have been friends for generations, and Chunyan is the apple of the Qiao family's eye. This marriage is the best choice for you and the family." Zhou Bingyi persuaded his brother earnestly, his eyes revealing a deep sense of responsibility towards his family and his brother.

Zhou Bingkun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, indicating that he accepted the marriage.
