Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

"Sometimes I worried about your personality, wondering who could stand it. You're so good at studying, you must have high standards. I wondered if you could get married. But I didn't expect you to be so much more useful than Seventh Sister-in-law. You're really promising."

As she spoke, she pressed the powder puff lightly against Chen Mei's face again. Having been scolded so much, she was getting a little annoyed. She pouted and said—

"It's only a few years earlier."

"It was more than ten years. I was almost thirty when I got married."

"Why? Seventh Sister-in-law is so beautiful."

"...smooth-talking."

Seventh Sister-in-law rolled her eyes at her.

However, Chen Mei seized the opportunity, grabbing her arm and saying—

"I'm serious, why hasn't Seventh Sister-in-law gotten married for so long?"

In those days, it was really strange to be unmarried at nearly thirty.

"..."

Seventh Sister-in-law watched as Chen Mei hugged her arm, preventing her from continuing her makeup, and remained silent.

However, it seemed that some distant relatives outside the room heard this and started laughing and teasing—

"Your seventh sister-in-law has high standards."

"Get on with your work!"

Seventh Sister threw an empty box out the window, then looked at Chen Mei, whose eyes were shining, as if she wouldn't let her off the hook until she made things clear today.

Seventh Sister-in-law said helplessly—

"Your seventh sister-in-law was fickle when she was young, and she was also quite smart and educated. In addition, her family was much better off than those around her, so she never found anyone she liked..."

Chen Mei tilted her head, as if she understood something. Her seventh sister-in-law must be a lady from a prominent family. She must have been quite talented when she was young, which is why she looked down on ordinary men.

She asked curiously—

"So how did you end up with Seventh Brother?"

"later……"

Seventh Sister-in-law thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said—

"There's nothing to say..."

"How could this be? Tell me, tell me, Seventh Sister-in-law..."

Chen Mei held her arm and shook it repeatedly.

Seventh Sister-in-law felt a sense of trouble and said—

"You really are something... Later, something happened in my family... They fell into decline. After all those changes, I was almost thirty, and my family started pressuring me to get married."

“They said I was already this age and if I didn’t get married soon, I would never be able to get married. They wanted to arrange a blind marriage for me, to pair me up with someone who was also unmarried. I was very angry at the time.”

“I heard that the man was from a very far place, so I deliberately said, ‘Okay, then I’ll marry him if he carries me back according to custom.’”

Chen Mei was taken aback, and said—

"My maternal grandmother's house seems to be over a hundred kilometers away from here..."

Carrying someone for 100 kilometers on their back—is this deliberately making things difficult?

Seventh Sister-in-law smiled and said—

"I had already indicated my refusal, and I thought that was the end of it, but I didn't expect... the other party said one word, 'Okay'."

"I was completely dumbfounded. What did he mean by 'okay'? He really wanted to carry me back for hundreds of kilometers? This guy must be an idiot. I wanted to see how long he could last, so I went ahead and did it."

"Then he carried me on his back, from the side path to the main road, resting in village after village, walking for almost eighty li, without letting my feet touch the ground even once..."

Chen Mei stared wide-eyed at her sister-in-law, who seemed to miss her. She never imagined that her brother-in-law had been such a tough guy before. He was much tougher than that stinky Mingming at home who always claimed to be a tough guy.

An ordinary man carried a woman on his back for eighty miles.

Seventh Sister-in-law said with a smile—

“At the time, I was still wearing a mask. I asked him, ‘You don’t even know what I look like. Aren’t you afraid that all this hard work will only lead to disappointment?’ He replied, ‘You don’t know what I look like either. That’s fair. I don’t regret what I promised.’”

He is a very stubborn person, like a bull, single-minded.

But it also makes people feel that it is so cute.

Chapter 866 It really does look very similar!

Chen Ming was playing with the cats and dogs, and time flew by. His father and grandfather came over, and he sat down in a chair, looked up at the two of them.

Dad was wearing a neat school uniform, a long-sleeved white shirt and black trousers, without any extra decorations, simple and plain.

However, looking at his father's muscular physique, which was both understated and handsome, with prominent veins on his palms and a strong outline still visible even though his collar was buttoned up for a formal occasion.

These simple clothes look so handsome on him. It makes me think that my mom pursued my dad and I don't know who to envy more.

Chen Ming touched his cheek, wondering if he had inherited any of those features. Although the resemblance was quite striking...

He smiled, put the cats and dogs down, stood up, walked over, and said—

"You're here? Let's go then."

They're dawdling around, and the bride is getting impatient.

Grandpa was using a new cane. As people get older, they still need to use it to support themselves. Although he can still walk on his own two feet, his legs and feet still feel weak after a while.

He watched as his son-in-law stood up and slowly approached, his brows furrowing. He glanced at his son beside him, then at Chen Ming, and suddenly understood where his strange feeling came from.

He was slightly taken aback, and said—

"Don't you two look alike?"

"..."

Chen Ming was speechless. Looking at his grandfather, who was taking so long to react, he really didn't know what to say. Shouldn't this have been discovered much earlier? I'm your son's son, your precious grandson!

That makes sense; no matter how brilliant one's calculations are, it's impossible to guess Chen Ming's identity, and it's simply impossible to think that way.

Chen Jun only widened his eyes slightly after hearing his grandfather's reminder, looking at Chen Ming... It does seem that he does look a little like him?

His somewhat stern face always wore a gentle smile, and he was quite easygoing, which was different from Chen Jun's rigid and serious demeanor. This was one of the reasons why it was only now that I realized it.

Chen Ming's personality is mostly inherited from his mother. The saying goes, "sons resemble their mothers and daughters resemble their fathers," and his personality is a family tradition of being quirky and mischievous.

Seeing their somewhat surprised expressions, Chen Ming remained calm and smiled, saying—

"This proves that we should be a family. Xiaomei and I are a match made in heaven."

Therefore, Chen Ming inherited a lot from his mother, and his mind works very quickly. This statement is neither a lie nor will it make things worse, thus guiding the situation in a controllable direction.

As soon as he said this casually, Grandpa rolled his eyes, looked at Chen Ming who had a thick skin, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

I don't know if it's because it's a joyous occasion and I shouldn't tease people, or if it's because I feel a little reluctant to part with them.

Chen Jun scratched his head, deciding not to think about the problem anymore, and instead said—

"Let's go pick up the bride."

"Ah."

Chen Ming happily followed them outside, and the white cats and dogs followed closely behind him, stepping on his heels. Everyone was a little afraid of stepping on them.

Chen Ming said—

"You guys go to Xiaomei's place first, we're going to take a walk around the village."

Of course, you can't just walk straight to the bride's room; you have to go through the motions, walk around the village, and let everyone know which girl is getting married.

That's what you call glorious and impressive.

The dog and cat both left obediently.

"These cats and dogs are quite intelligent."

Dad was somewhat surprised as he watched the white shadow disappear down the stairs.

The uncles and elders enthusiastically banged gongs and drums, while Chen Ming drove the wedding car slowly forward. Generally speaking, riding horses and carrying sedan chairs is the most traditional method, but having a car is definitely better.

In those days, cars were not common, so a wedding car was considered quite prestigious.

However, the limited number of vehicles also led to a problem: no one knew how to drive. Cerberus did, but women generally didn't participate in wedding processions, so they had to make do and let Chen Ming drive himself.

A large red double happiness symbol was pasted on the front of the car, and the rearview mirror was also decorated with red ribbons. The car slowly drove through the village road, and many people gathered around to watch, and even followed the wedding procession.

Everyone thought that the Chen family's son-in-law was quite good; he could afford a car and had a house, which was truly rare.

However, Chen Ming himself felt a little uneasy. He looked at the steering wheel, his lips twitching slightly. Using a minivan as a wedding car seemed a bit outdated... it felt rather shabby.

If he had prepared in advance, he could have rented something even better... Well, if this were reality, Qin Hui and Gu Qing would have brought him a bunch of luxury cars he didn't recognize in no time, and he wouldn't have needed to rent any.

But then I thought, even the most impressive cars in the secular world probably don't compare to the van I have. Putting everything else aside, what other car can fly like this?

There's also internal expansion space; it's practically a small world.

As expected of the research results of the Sword Immortal School.

But this look is really...

The more impressive something is, the more unsophisticated it seems, right?

However, the grandfather sitting in the passenger seat was quite satisfied. He nodded, enjoying the air conditioning in the car, and said—

"Having a job, a car, and a house at such a young age is not bad."

Chen Ming scratched his head. Actually, he didn't have much work anymore; everyone was eager to help him. The car was a gift from A Fu, and he was living with his landlady, who wasn't paying rent anymore…

Huh? Why does he suddenly seem a bit like a gigolo?

He blushed slightly and said—

"Actually, my family has helped me a lot, both at work and in other areas..."

Grandpa glanced at him, snorted, then smiled and said—

“It’s normal for family to help out, don’t be too self-deprecating… You’re quite responsible, you came back and took on your responsibilities, and you were quite assertive.”

"..."
