His mother is so imaginative.

Zhu Guoan, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "The two kids are too familiar with each other; they won't make it work."

"Familiarity is key!" Chen Yuhong shouted in a low voice. "What lovey-dovey stuff? Do you all think everyone has a free-choice relationship like Ai Yun and Zhou Jianguo? Zhou Zhibin and his wife also had a free-choice relationship, but look at what kind of person she is! So, knowing her inside and out is the most important thing!"

Zhu Guoan: "Aiyun and Lao Zhou only have one daughter, Nuannuan. They will definitely consider it carefully, so let's not worry about it."

After Jin Aiyun and the others entered the house, Jin Aiyun held Lu Yan's hand, still feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yanyan, I'm sorry. I didn't discuss it with you before announcing your relationship with Yanchen."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Auntie, everyone will find out about my relationship with Zhou Yanchen sooner or later."

Jin Aiyun's public announcement is a way of telling everyone that bullying her is tantamount to going against the Zhou family.

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Jin Aiyun breathed a sigh of relief. "Yanyan, don't worry, with us here, no one will dare to bully you again!"

Lu Yan smiled. "I know."

She used to face everything alone. Although her son could help her, he was still just a child.

But today, so many people are standing in front of her.

"Auntie, I'm going to cook. You can go ahead and do your work."

Jin Aiyun probably has something to say to Zhou Nuannuan.

Jin Aiyun glanced at Zhou Nuannuan, "Let's cook together, and talk about it after we eat."

Anyway, Qin Yuanchao arrived at noon.

Zhou Nuannuan kept her head down and didn't follow them to the kitchen.

None of Jin Aiyun and the others asked Liu Jiabao why he said Lu Yan hit him. In fact, they knew in their hearts that Lu Yan did hit him, but it was definitely because of Liu Jiabao's fault.

Since Lu Yan didn't want to tell them, they stopped asking.

Let Yan Chen and her talk on their own when they are alone together.

After breakfast, Jin Aiyun arranged for Zhou Yanxing to wash the dishes, while the others began to interrogate Zhou Nuannuan.

The so-called joint trial was actually mostly Jin Aiyun speaking, while Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Yan sat there silently.

As an outsider, Lu Yan was even less likely to speak.

Jin Aiyun stared at Zhou Nuannuan. "Nuannuan, tell me what you think of Qin Yuanchao?"

Zhou Nuannuan lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers. "Don't my parents always teach me to be grateful? Captain Qin saved me, so it's not a big deal for me to express my gratitude by treating him to a meal, right?"

Jin Aiyun: "Just a simple meal?"

Zhou Nuannuan: "Yeah."

Seeing her like this, Jin Aiyun knew that the little girl was falling in love.

As someone who's been through it, she can understand.

However, she had a few things to say.

"Your father and I don't arrange marriages, but your second and fourth brothers gave me a stern warning: when dating or getting married, you must first look at the other person's character."

Zhou Nuannuan looked up and said, "Mom, he's a police officer. Police officers aren't bad people."

Jin Aiyun disagreed with this, saying, "Which profession doesn't have bad people? Take Battalion Commander Yang from our compound, for example. He rose through the ranks in the army, and few could compare to him. And what happened? He beats his wife!"

"Some people are inherently bad, regardless of their abilities or their profession."

Lu Yan, with her gossipy nature piqued, listened intently.

Battalion Commander Yang complained that his wife couldn't have a son. Everyone told him that the sex of a child is determined by the man and has nothing to do with the woman, but he wouldn't listen. He beat his wife, who had just given birth to a daughter and was still in her postpartum confinement period, and gave the daughter away. This caused quite a stir. Chen Yuhong, as the women's director, couldn't stand it and led a group to stand up for his wife. However, his wife kicked her out, saying that she was incompetent for not being able to have a son and that she had let her husband down. She also accused Chen Yuhong of meddling and being jealous of her.

Chen Yuhong was so angry that she didn't eat all day and vowed never to get involved in her affairs again.

Later, Battalion Commander Yang cheated on his wife with another woman, getting her pregnant. This was no longer just a family matter, but a matter for the military.

Battalion Commander Yang was soon demoted.

"His wife still hates us right now."

After listening to what they said, Lu Yan could only say that there is always something hateful about a pitiful person.

"Battalion Commander Yang is a typical example in our compound, but besides him, there are quite a few men who treat their wives badly. Some mothers-in-law make things difficult for their wives and the men don't say a word, some can't have a son and make sarcastic remarks to their wives, and there are a lot of men who don't do any housework when they come home and complain that their wives don't do it well. Mom doesn't want you to marry a man like that."

Zhou Nuannuan bit her lip. "Mom, I know."

"You don't understand," Jin Aiyun said, holding Zhou Nuannuan's hand, "Nuannuan, you're our only daughter. We don't expect you to find someone rich and powerful, but your in-laws have to be good, and the man has to treat you well. Otherwise, with your personality, you'll suffer after marriage. If you suffer, it'll be the death of your mother!"

Zhou Nuannuan was moved. "Mom, I understand. I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Zhou Nuannuan had taken it to heart, Jin Aiyun breathed a sigh of relief. "Your dad and I have already found someone for you. We'll meet them and see how they go. If you don't like them, your dad and I won't force you. We'll choose carefully. If we're too late, all the good men will be taken."

Zhou Nuannuan blushed. "Mom, I'm not even twenty yet. If I still haven't met the right person in two years, then I can go on blind dates."

Jin Aiyun smiled. "Okay, you can play for another two years. Captain Qin will be here soon. Your dad and I will treat him well. You know what to do, right?"

Zhou Nuannuan nodded, "Mom, I know."

Jin Aiyun gave her the money, saying, "You went out to buy groceries with your fourth brother. He saved you, so we really should thank him properly."

Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing went out to buy groceries, leaving only Lu Yan and the other three people in the house.

Lu Yan looked at Jin Aiyun, "Auntie, are you really not going to let Nuannuan try out with Captain Qin?"

Jin Aiyun took a sip of tea. "Nuannuan finally likes a gay man, so I definitely need to investigate him thoroughly. If Qin Yuanchao is reliable, we certainly have no objections."

Lu Yan nodded in understanding.

Qin Yuanchao seems like a good person, but you can't judge a book by its cover.

Lu Yan pushed Zhou Yanchen into the room, where he continued acupuncture; both of his legs needed acupuncture today.

Lu Yan disinfects the gold needles.

Zhou Yan sat on the bed, watching her retreating figure, and asked, "Did you fight with Liu Jiabao yesterday?"

Lu Yan paused in her disinfection, turned to Zhou Yan and smiled, "It was me who beat him up, but he did it willingly."

Zhou Yan frowned, his tone certain, "He harassed you?"
