Chapter 161: Fate or not?
In the living room, Dong Wushuang looked at Shen Peifeng, who still had gauze on his head, with tears in her eyes, feeling both distressed and angry.
"I told Zhixian to take you back, but you insisted on showing off. If you weren't lucky enough to be washed ashore and rescued by Comrade Lan, I think you would have been eaten by the fish long ago."
Dong Wushuang stretched out his hand and wanted to hit his second son, but seeing that he was injured and looked bad, he turned the raised hand and landed on Shen Zhixian.
"Ouch." Shen Zhixian howled. Dong Wushuang glared at him, then turned around and slapped Shen Zhiyan again.
"Your second brother's disappearance is such a big thing, and you two actually hid it from me. Should I fight you?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the twins lowered their heads but were both smiling. They were so happy that their second brother came back safely that they would not mind being beaten once or even dozens of times.
Grandma Sheng pulled Zhan Xinyue to sit on the sofa, and protected her granddaughter in a protective manner. If Dong Wushuang wanted to hit Zhan Xinyue, the old lady would definitely stop him.
Zhan Xinyue smiled and patted her grandmother's hand, "It's okay, Mom is just too worried, she's taking her anger out on her two brothers and won't look for me anymore."
Sure enough, Dong Wushuang slapped the twins, and after he vented his anger, his anger subsided, and all that was left was the heartache.
Dong Wushuang began to cry, "How could you hide such a big thing from me? Now that I know, I can help find it."
"Mom, it's a happy thing that Peifeng is back. As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. He will definitely not go to the beach alone in the future." Zhan Xinyue comforted.
Dong Wushuang choked up and glanced at Shen Peifeng, "You still have to learn how to swim in the future."
If you encounter an accident in the future, you can save yourself.
"Okay, Mom." Shen Peifeng responded obediently.
"Mom, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Shen Peifeng looked at Lan Yuqing, who had been fidgeting since she entered the room, and suddenly grabbed her hand and said to Dong Wushuang, "Mom, I want to marry Yuqing."
"what?"
Dong Wushuang was confused. Why did his second son, who was still young at the age of 23, suddenly want to get married?
"Miss Yuqing, how old are you this year? How many people are there in your family? What do they do for a living? Do your family members agree to your marriage?"
Dong Wushuang himself is a member of an ethnic minority, and he is not opposed to Lan Yuqing, who is also a member of an ethnic minority. However, since his son is going to get married quickly, he must ask about the future daughter-in-law.
As someone who has been through it, Dong Wushuang deeply understands that marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.
"Aunt, I'm eighteen. My father and mother have passed away, and my sister has also passed away. There is only one niece in the family who is a few years older than me. I am the elder, and I don't need her consent to get married."
Lan Yuqing stood up and answered Dong Wushuang's question respectfully.
Dong Wushuang nodded, the family members were relatively simple.
"So what do you do yourself?"
"Aunt, I am the leader of the She ethnic group." Lan Yuqing replied.
Dong Wushuang's face darkened a little. She herself was from an ethnic minority and was a Chinese teacher, so she was quite familiar with the customs of various ethnic minorities.
The She ethnic group’s patriarchy is hereditary and is passed down from daughter to daughter, not son to son. The patriarch needs to find a son-in-law to live in the village, and then have a daughter who can succeed him as patriarch.
"Miss Yuqing, you are Peifeng's savior. If you want to get married, as an elder, I will definitely bless you, but Peifeng's work is very important, and he loves his work very much. I know that the She tribe leader wants to find a son-in-law. If you get married, what will you do in the future?"
Dong Wushuang sighed: "I know my son. Peifeng will definitely not give up his career. Miss Yuqing, you are the leader of the She ethnic group. You have your own responsibilities and missions. You should not leave your people. So..."
Dong Wushuang didn't say anything else, but Lan Yuqing had already understood the implication. She lowered her head in disappointment. She understood that Dong Wushuang was right.
Lan Jiaojiao is too impetuous and has bad character, so she is not suitable to be the clan leader. The Lan family has no successor, and she cannot be so selfish as to give up the entire clan for a man.
"Aunt, I understand." Lan Yuqing nodded slightly, looked at Shen Peifeng deeply, said goodbye, walked out of the yard quickly, and drove away in the carriage.
"Yuqing," Shen Peifeng stood up and prepared to chase, but when he thought of the mathematical formula for the unfinished moon landing trajectory, he stopped abruptly.
"Mom," Shen Peifeng sighed as he watched Lan Yuqing leave: "Miss Yuqing and her people saved my life. Let's prepare some things and go to Jingxi to thank them."
If I can't repay the favor of saving my life with my body, I can only make up for it with more material things.
