"Hahahahaha-------why didn't you tell me this old man over the phone in advance? I didn't bring a proper gift this time."
"Don't treat me as part of the family, eh?"
Zhang Hong pretended to be upset.
Xu Fuqiang quickly explained with a laugh, "Uncle Zhang, isn't it because we were afraid the gifts you prepared would be too sumptuous, and that brat Xu Mo wouldn't deserve them?"
Xu Fuqiang was quite clever.
Using Xu Mo as a shield.
Having a son is useful in just the right moments.
Pulling him out as a shield.
Su Ting also chuckled along.
Marriage is a major life event.
It's not something that can be easily altered.
And since the Xu Family is a prominent clan,
changing the timing in advance
would leave the guests with no time to prepare properly.
What if someone had important plans already?
Money isn't everything.
But a lot of money can often make things possible.
"Dad, Xu Brother and Sister-in-law didn't mean it, maybe this eldest daughter of the Zhou Family is exceptionally outstanding. That's why Xu Brother and Sister-in-law couldn't wait and changed the time at the last minute."
Zhang Tianhao came to the rescue.
Xu Fuqiang gave him a look that said 'Well done.'
Like brothers helping each other!
They really are of one mind.
Even Su Ting couldn't help but smile.
The three of them looked at the old man.
"Humph!!!" Zhang Hong huffed, his face puffing up with indignation.
This time, it was real dissatisfaction!!!
An elderly person at home is a treasure.
Everyone's hearts tightened.
The old man glared at Zhang Tianhao,
expressing his grievances.
"Look at this!!!! Little Mo is getting married, but what about our Naixi?!"
"Xu Brother is urging marriage, why don't you do the same more often!!"
"When will I ever get to hold my great-grandchild?"
Zhang Hong lectured vehemently.
Zhang Tianhao lowered his head humbly,
agreeing with whatever the old man said.
The attitude was as subservient as could be.
What could he do?
After all, this was his father????
Zhang Tianhao's frustration was once again directed at his daughter, Zhang Naixi.
Don't be fooled by her being a daughter.
When training Zhang Naixi,
Zhang Tianhao treated her as a boy.
Even Zhang Naixi herself later suggested more rigorous training methods.
This daughter was excellent in every way,
except when it came to marriage and having children.
She had no interest at all.
Women and men are physically different!!!
Men can do things anytime.
As long as the conditions are right, regardless of age,
even at eighty, there are people who want them.
(Just make sure the money is ready)
Old men wanting young brides,
people just say they've found a companion late in life,
vibrant in old age,
perhaps even a bit improper.
No one says they're a weird old thing.
But women are different.
Once they reach forty or fifty,
having a child,
would be called a geriatric pregnancy.
Even at sixty,
they might be labeled as a weird old thing.
So the Zhang Family
naturally hoped Zhang Naixi would marry sooner rather than later.
What goes around comes around.
Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting now stood up for Zhang Tianhao.
"Uncle Zhang, this can't be rushed. With Naixi being such an outstanding girl, she will definitely find her other half."
"Exactly!!! We can't just settle. We can help by introducing her to some of our acquaintances, get to know each other, maybe sparks will fly."
"Right, love can't be rushed, just like our Xiao Mo, he eventually found someone who caught his eye."
Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting chimed in one after another.
Though it was meant to comfort,
Zhang Tianhao felt a sourness in his heart.
It felt like Xu Brother and Sister-in-law were subtly showing off.
Zhang Tianhao's heart burned with jealousy!!!
He wished his daughter would just get married already!!!
"Naixi, it's all because of you, now your old man is being scolded again. When you come back, I'll teach you a lesson!!!"
Zhang Tianhao thought to himself.
And just as Zhang Tianhao was thinking that,
A voice with a neutral tone sounded.
"Grandpa, look what I brought back for you? A great treasure!!!"
"Huh??? Why is everyone here?"
"Uncle Xu and Aunt Su are here too?"
Zhang Naixi halted her steps,
the smile on her face turning into confusion.
She looked at her father’s face,
so dark it looked like he had been mining in Africa.
Even with the lights on at night,
it would still look that way.
No need for words,
Zhang Naixi already knew why her father's face was so thunderous.
"Where have you been!!!"
Zhang Tianhao demanded.
Being here at just the right moment.
Zhang Naixi froze, speaking softly: "I--I went to find my cousin."
"Your cousin is getting married in a few days, what about you!!!" Zhang Tianhao said grouchily, crossing his arms, as if to say, "When will you ever prove yourself?"
Get married early,
Or just bring home a son-in-law.
The Zhangs don't lack that bit of food money.
"Huh?!?!?! That fast???"
Zhang Naixi was shocked, her mouth gaping wide.
Wasn't there still some time?
Or did she get the date wrong?
Zhang Tianhao twitched his eyelids.
He was almost too embarrassed to admit,
This was his daughter.
Luckily,
He still had two sons.
However,
The one he worried about most was still this eldest daughter.
"I don't care, within a month, I want to see my future son-in-law, or else, pack your bags and leave the Zhangs!"

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
