Zhai Yi observed silently, and upon realizing that his girlfriend had indeed chosen things that were suitable for the elderly for his parents, his confidence in his relationship grew.

That girl had even said that it was only right for Zhai Yi to treat Zhai Xin and Zhai Yu well since they shared the same parents, unlike her who had a half-brother.

She felt that her boyfriend’s family felt like a family because he treated his younger siblings well.

In her own family, she felt that kinship seemed unimportant. That was why she yearned to marry a man who felt strongly for his family.

She was the one Zhai Yi was looking for, and Zhai Yi was the one she was looking for.

Zhai Yi’s enviable family background was simply a bonus to her.

Zhai Yi had taken the longest time to confirm his relationship with his girlfriend and had spent a whole year getting to know her. That was why he was sure that she was the one, and that had led to this call.

“All three of them are getting married on the same day? They’re even coming to Qingshui Town?”

Upon hearing Zhai Sheng’s words, Qiao Nan didn’t even know how to respond. “When did this happen? Why don’t I know anything about it? Have they really found partners?”

“Yes.” Zhai Sheng laughed. “They’re all grown up and have ideas of their own. Da Bao said that they’ve already been dating for three years.”

Three years was not a short time, and it wouldn’t be too soon for marriage.

“They’ve been dating for three years?” Qiao Nan was even more surprised and felt a little sour. “Then, I guess marriage is on the cards.” Forget it that Da Bao and Er Bao hadn’t told her about it. But even San Bao had not told her about getting a boyfriend.

“Brother Zhai, they’re all getting married. Our children are getting snatched away.”

“That’s alright. You still have me.” He was the most important one anyway.

Qiao Nan sniffled and leaned into Zhai Sheng’s embrace, not saying a word. Even if her children were to get married, they were still her children whom she had painstakingly raised. She couldn’t seem to let them go.

Zhai Yi’s call to his parents was the best chance for a discussion.

After that call, the three children brought their partners and their partners’ parents to Qingshui Town the very next day for a meeting.

The Zhai family’s old villa had been peaceful and quiet with only the two of them the previous day. But today, it was packed with people. Qiao Nan couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.

Compared to Zhai Sheng and herself, her three sets of in-laws were almost ten to twenty years younger than them. That was almost a full generation away. Qiao Nan felt a little out of place.

But unlike the uneasy Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng was quietly observing these six people.

From the surface, Zhai Sheng could tell that these six people were rather honest and wouldn’t try to fight or snatch others’ things.

He couldn’t deny that such in-laws would be much more suitable given their family background.

The children of the Zhai family didn’t need to find partners with good family backgrounds. All their partners needed to do was to hold the fort so that they could continue to work hard outside.

Sometimes, people who were too ambitious would instead drag the Zhai family down.

Based on this alone, Zhai Sheng was rather satisfied with his children’s judgments. He only hoped that his first impression wouldn’t be proven wrong.

How his children lived in the future would depend entirely on them.

Zhai Sheng had already made several drafts in his mind, and the three sets of parents were especially nervous.

After all, they had never met such an impressive figure in their entire lives. Who would have expected their son or daughters to have found such outstanding in-laws?

Although Zhai Sheng hadn’t made many appearances on television, everyone knew that Zhai Sheng was a chief. As such, everyone sat up straight, especially the fathers.

Which man had never had a dream of being a soldier? The man in front of them was the head of the army!

As for the mothers, they turned their attention to the smiling and kind Qiao Nan.

Even without relying on her husband, Zhai Sheng, or her status as the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law, Qiao Nan had made a name for herself as a generous philanthropist.

Someone had done the math and there were tens of thousands of children who were being sponsored by Qiao Nan and also a significant number of elderly who were being supported by Qiao Nan’s foundation until their deaths.

Based on these two aspects alone, Qiao Nan must have spent more than tens of millions of yuan.

Other than that, Qiao Nan had also provided aid to poverty-stricken areas. The money spent was in billions!

It could be said that Qiao Nan had spent all her money on charitable acts, but she had never been materialistic her whole life.

Qiao Nan had never worn any branded clothes, nor carried any expensive bags.

People always saw Qiao Nan carrying bags worth only two to three hundred yuan, and she would carry that same bag for ten years.

That was how it was with her bags, clothes, and shoes.

Because of Qiao Nan’s age, someone had even joked that it was good that Qiao Nan had maintained herself well. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would seem very out of place with her simple style once she gained weight.

With Qiao Nan leading the way, many other women had followed in her footsteps, whether they thought that it was truly good to do so, or whether they were simply following the trend. After all, fashion came and went.

Women usually loved branded goods but were sometimes unable to afford them because of their statuses.

It was miserable to see everyone around them having one when they didn’t.

With Qiao Nan leading the way, such a phenomenon was no longer as common.

As such, even though most women had never met Qiao Nan, she had become their favorite female idol.

Although these three mothers were quite old, they still idolized Qiao Nan.

They had always relied on news reports on the television or newspaper to learn about their idol. But now, she was sitting right in front of them and was even smiling at them. She was even going to become their in-law! The three mothers couldn’t help but pinch themselves. It all seemed like a dream.

Had Qiao Nan exhausted all the hardships of her life before she turned forty?

After all, every family had ‘impressive’ characters. As the three children grew up to become of marriageable age, Qiao Nan had already prepared herself to meet someone like Ding Jiayi or Qiao Zijin.

But the heavens were on her side. All three families were good!
