Chapter 1803: Chapter 1: Xiao Yuer’s Love (Part 1)

With these two examples, if any girl from a good family background enlists in the future, her family will repeatedly caution her: you can get involved in other things, but never set your sights on Army Commander Zhou, or you’ll end up in a miserable situation and can’t blame the family for not intervening.

As for those from ordinary backgrounds, they tremble with fear at the sight of a military officer as soon as they enlist, where would they find the courage to do anything toward the Commander? Occasionally, some bold ones might steal a glance, but they wouldn’t dare think of anything else.

After a smooth twenty years, Chuxia’s mindset has become even more open-minded, and she’s not as worried as before about how Zhou Mikang might turn out; some things can’t be solved just by worrying.

Having lived together all these years, she truly understands Zhou Mikang’s character. He’s absolutely the kind who sticks to his guns. Once he’s committed to her, he would never do anything to let her down.

So why should she trouble herself unnecessarily? Why give herself psychological pressure, and also her husband?

Seeing their parents’ syrupy sweet relationship day in and day out for twenty years, the three brothers decided that in the future, they too wanted to find wives who fit them perfectly, just like their parents, and move forward happily together.

However, while the wish is beautiful, reality is cruel.

Given the three brothers’ status, finding a suitable partner is not so easy.

Girls from distinguished families were well aware of the brothers’ family background, eager to engage in something with them, while girls from ordinary families were mostly taught by their parents to get into college, find a good man, and thus lead the whole family to a better life...

After a while of busying themselves with these matters, the brothers’ hearts grew distant. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the oldest and the second brother turned twenty-five. Longlong and Huhu got married, while they were still single. As for Xiao Yuer, who was three years younger than them, he was in no rush.

Chuxia wasn’t in a hurry either. As a soul from the future, she hoped her three sons would find girls they loved. As for how late they got married, it didn’t matter.

Men aren’t like women; even past forty, it’s not too late.

Influenced by his wife, Zhou Mikang wasn’t too anxious either, but his attitude was that finding someone sooner is better, although it’s not a problem if it happens later. But regardless of when, he just wanted to drink daughter-in-law tea eventually.

Sitting young among a bunch of old men, he was always being asked this question. Those asking never tired, but he was getting annoyed. Sometimes, he really wanted to ask those old men, why do they care if his sons find wives or not?

Chuxia would teasingly say to him, "It’s none of their business, but doesn’t their family have granddaughters? Don’t you understand what they’re implying?" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

"Those rich girls... forget it," Zhou Mikang scoffed, "Let the kids handle it themselves. I won’t interfere. Once elders step in, things get complicated."

Chuxia sighed, "Then you should talk to your mom and dad, and grandma and grandpa. They’re really worried."

"Alright, I’ll talk to them, don’t worry..." the Commander said with a chuckle, "Think about back then, if I hadn’t waited that long, could I have found such a great wife? Why doesn’t anyone remember that and just worry blindly!"

"Tch..." Chuxia rolled her eyes, exposing his weaknesses, "How you ended up waiting that long isn’t the same as Longlong and Beibei."

While the couple was discussing the older two’s matters, Laosan came to them hesitantly, saying he had a girlfriend and wanted to introduce her to his parents.

"Xiao Yuer, when did you get a girlfriend?" Chuxia widened her eyes at her youngest son. This kid was usually quiet and proud when the topic of his elder brothers’ marriages came up, boasting how he wasn’t in a rush because he was three years younger. How did he suddenly become anxious?

"It’s been a month..." Xiao Yuer’s face turned red, "I didn’t want to find someone so soon either, but once I met her, I figured I’d hold on to her. At least I found someone first, so I can ease grandma and grandpa’s anxious hearts that are about to ignite."

"Alright, bring her over this Sunday to meet us," Chuxia decided with her husband after exchanging glances, recognizing that their youngest wasn’t as rash as the middle one.

"Dad, Mom..." Xiao Yuer glanced at them quickly, with a cheeky smile, "Her hometown is in the countryside and she’s not very worldly. When she comes, could you be a bit gentle with her?"

"Sure." Chuxia nodded in agreement. Even if she wasn’t born in the countryside herself, she now considered it her roots, and had no objections to Xiao Yuer dating a girl from the countryside.

...

"Auntie, is Xiao Yuer really bringing his girlfriend over on Sunday?" Early the next morning, Lin Ruoyi, the daughter of Lin Wenbin and Yuan Hui, ran over, sweat on her little face.

"Yes," Chuxia nodded, "It’s surprising, isn’t it?"

"Not really..." Lin Ruoyi pouted, "Auntie, both you and my aunt are particularly good judges of character, take a good look then. I don’t think that Yue Yanan is suitable.

She and I are classmates and we share a dormitory, but our relationship is average. She’s quite stingy, or maybe afraid of spending money, she never participates in any activities with us.

But ever since Xiao Yuer came to find me and she saw him, she suddenly became very friendly with me and even asked about Xiao Yuer. I didn’t think much of it and just told her.

I thought with her conditions, she’d definitely back down when faced with challenges, but unexpectedly, she actually embraced them and even managed to hold onto Xiao Yuer.

I’m just baffled. So many girls approached Xiao Yuer before and he was never interested, yet he likes someone with such a strong ambition to climb the social ladder. How come?
