Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang looked at each other, and their eyes also turned to Fu Qin. When she noticed that Lin En’s hand that was holding on to the corner of her clothes had tightened, Zhuang Xian reached out and patted her to comfort her.
“Yeah, the Zhuang family pays the most attention to rules! If Grandma doesn’t deal with Zhuang Jie fairly after what she did to me today, I’m afraid the public won’t be convinced!”
Zhuang Xian and her two brothers tacitly sent Fu Qin to a loftier place.
Fu Qin was being pushed up high by them, and she felt like she was riding a Tiger and couldn’t get off. Looking at how difficult they were to deal with, it was not quite possible for her to easily let this matter go.
Fu Qin was furious, but she couldn’t let them take this matter to the police. Zhuang Jie couldn’t afford to lose face, and the Zhuang family couldn’t afford to lose even more face!
She looked at Zhuang Jie and compromised, “Yingluo (Jie) was indeed too willful in this matter. Fortunately, she didn’t hurt anyone. Punish her by making her face the wall at home for half a month and deduct three months of her pocket money as a warning to others! If you dare to commit the same mistake again, it won’t be so simple.”
When Lin En heard Fu Qin’s words, she immediately disagreed. She said, “Mom! Isn’t your punishment too light? How could Zhuang Jie do such a thing to Xian ‘er? You’re just punishing her by making her face the wall and giving her a few months of pocket money, isn’t that too lenient?”

Zhuang Ming spoke up to support Lin En. “I don’t agree either! This punishment doesn’t even hurt, how can she recall?”
Zhuang Jie looked at Fu Qin with a pale face. Only her grandmother could save her now.
“Then what do you want? Do you want Zhuang Jie to die for this? Zhuang Xian wasn’t hurt in any way!” Fu Qin pretended to be angry. Looking at Zhuang Ming, who still had an indignant expression, Fu Qin softened her voice and said, “At the end of the day, we’re all one family. It’s good that the misunderstandings have been resolved. It’s good to understand and tolerate each other. What do you think, third brother?”
“The kitchen made your favorite pancakes today. Let’s go in and talk! Is that good?” Fu Qin had brought out her trump card against Zhuang Ming. Every time, as long as her attitude was a little gentler, Zhuang Ming would always give in.
Zhuang Ming looked at Fu Qin’s gentle and loving appearance and it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t soft-hearted. Fu Qin was still his mother after all!

However, Zhuang Ming was a smart person. How could he let go of such a great opportunity to negotiate? “Since mom asked for my opinion, I’ll be direct! If you put Zhuang Xian in the Zhuang family’s genealogy, we can let this matter go!”
After Fu Qin heard Zhuang Ming’s words, she secretly took a few deep breaths before she managed to suppress her fiery temper.
Out of all the children she had, Zhuang Ming was the one she was most dissatisfied with.

Zhuang Ming had never been very close to her since he was young. He was the most silent and the least talkative of the children. Zhuang Jing was always sweet-tongued and knew how to make her happy. His older brothers had also stayed at home to inherit the family business. Only Zhuang Ming was rebellious and courageous. He refused to listen to Fu Qin and insisted on setting up another family business to do what he wanted to do!

And it just so happened that this son, who she was most dissatisfied with, became the only person in the family who became a big shot. Fu Qin’s heart felt a little unbalanced. This strange awkwardness had been eclectic between the mother and son for many years, and it was one of the reasons why they had never gotten along!
Right now, the Zhuang family needed to rely on Zhuang Ming in many areas. Fu Qin couldn’t push them out anymore. She had to win Zhuang Ming over, so Fu Qin would lower her head toward Zhuang Ming.

“Do you want this daughter that much?” Fu Qin asked, feeling a little tired.
Zhuang Ming glanced at Lin En, who was beside him, and replied in a deep voice, “Yes! My wife and I have always wanted a daughter. Although it’s a pity that we didn’t have the fortune to have one, it’s already the best outcome to have met Zhuang Xian. ”
Lin En’s eyes began to redden. She reached out to hold her husband’s hand, silently giving him a lot of strength.
Fu Qin took a deep breath and nodded slightly. “Alright. But this is a big deal, and we need the elders to agree.”
Lin En’s heart was filled with joy. Since the old lady had compromised and nodded, then this matter was settled!
“Hurry up and go back to your seats. The dishes will get cold soon.” As Fu Qin spoke, she slowly turned around and left, ignoring Zhuang Jing’s attempt to come forward and hold her arm.
Zhuang Jie lowered her head, like a defeated rooster, and left with Zhuang Jing.
Lin En held onto Zhuang Xian’s hand and said happily, “That’s great, Xian ‘er. Even though we were shocked today, we didn’t lose out. With the old lady’s compromise, isn’t this matter half-done?”
