Chapter 945

Zhu Shunyao spoke seriously, "Of course there is. When I first met your aunt, our family wasn't well-off. Normally, no one would agree to marry their daughter to me. I had to rely on my thick skin to get my father-in-law to agree."

"Heh." Xie Xinlian said directly, "So you do know you have a thick skin."

"No choice. You have to be thick-skinned in this area, or you won't have a wife." Zhu Shunyao looked seriously at Yan Aohan. "Little Yan, you must remember this: sons-in-law and fathers-in-law always have conflicts. So in the future, you must be very filial to your mother-in-law. As long as she favors you, your father-in-law will have nothing to say. This is absolutely my experience. I followed my mother-in-law around every day, helping her with things. She softened up and persuaded my father-in-law, and that’s how I got such a good wife."

"Uh-huh. I’ll listen to you, Uncle. I’ve remembered it. I’ll be extra filial to my mother-in-law in the future, though I won’t ignore my father-in-law either." Yan Aohan smiled, his eyes looking deep and unfathomable.

Xie Xinlian glanced at Zhu Shunyao. "Then I’ll just wait for my future son-in-law to be filial to me. Anyway, you definitely won’t like him."

"Son-in-law? What son-in-law? Our An’ni and An’nan are still so young." Zhu Shunyao refuted directly, bristling at Xie Xinlian’s words.

"An’ni is young, I admit that. But An’nan is already nineteen. In some places, girls her age are already mothers. She doesn’t even have a partner yet. If she finds someone in university, I won’t allow you to scare them away." Xie Xinlian glared at Zhu Shunyao. She was genuinely worried she might cause trouble.

Zhu Shunyao was dissatisfied. "My daughter will find someone even if she marries at thirty."

"She’ll be an old maid by then. What good prospects will there be? Do you want your daughter to marry a divorced man or a widower? Let me tell you, stop making trouble for An’nan and the others." After years of marriage, Xie Xinlian knew Zhu Shunyao best. she cherished her two daughters dearly. If a young man actually appeared, she was afraid she would scare her off within two sentences.

Zhu Shunyao felt her daughters wouldn’t have trouble marrying, but seeing her wife’s attitude, it seemed she wanted them to find boyfriends. This made her feel uneasy.

Seeing this, Yan Aohan quickly smiled and said, "Uncle, don’t worry. Yan Li is a girl who has her own plans. I’ve heard she is studying music hard now. In the future, she will likely find someone who shares her interests and cherishes her. Besides, if she gets a boyfriend and wants to marry, she will definitely let you, as her father, inspect him. You can use your status as the father-in-law to make things difficult for him. This will make him afraid to look down on your daughter, which shows how precious she is. And with you as her backing, no one will dare to bully them even after marriage."

Hearing Yan Aohan’s words, Zhu Shunyao still felt uneasy. "Little Yan, daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets. I only have these two. If they are taken away by others, my heart will ache. So, Little Yan, remember this: in the future, when you marry and have children, absolutely do not have daughters. Otherwise, you’ll feel too much pain."

Yan Aohan found this a bit difficult. He couldn’t control whether the baby would be a boy or a girl. Moreover, he actually preferred daughters. He always felt that if it wasn’t a daughter, the child would definitely cause trouble for him. So daughters were better. But facing Zhu Shunyao, Young Master Yan naturally nodded without a second word.

"I’ll listen to you, Uncle."
