Steady, generous, self-respect, self-regard and good at taking care of others.

Where else could they find such a good daughter-in-law?

The Zhou Bing couple was worried that if they did not grab hold of the chance now, they might not find such a good lady in the future. Hence, they were so anxious in arranging the marriage between their son and Qiao Dongliang’s daughter.

“Brother, do you have any issue with the fact that my son is a soldier? My son is quite capable. Although he is only twenty-three years old, he is already a company commander. He is the youngest company commander in the army. I understand that it might not be easy being the wife of a soldier, but from what I heard from my son, the wife is now allowed to go with the army. My wife and I are still young. If need be, we have two daughters-in-law who can take care of us.”

If Nan Nan was their daughter-in-law, she would just need to follow wherever Zhou Jun went. She would not need to stay in the village to wait on both of them.

“Brother Zhou, you are mistaken. I used to serve in the army as well and have nothing against soldiers. However, Nan Nan is still young.” Nan Nan was only 16 years old. She had just started high school. “Both of you must have known that Nan Nan is very studious and her results are excellent. She just started high school this year. Given her intelligence, she would be able to study in the college in the future. It would take another eight years before she graduated from college.”

When Nan Nan graduated from college, she would be twenty-four years old. However, Zhou Bing’s son, Zhou Jun, would be thirty-one years old by then.

“There is no hurry. They can be engaged first. It is good that Nan Nan is very studious. Their children will be very bright as well and would definitely be college graduates!” Zhou Bing’s wife had sparkles in her eyes. She had grown to like her young daughter-in-law more and more.

It was alright that she was young. Zhou Jun was not in a hurry to marry as well. He could wait for a few more years.

Even though Qiao Nan might be the youngest in the Qiao family, she was the most sensible person among all of them. Qiao Nan’s mother could not even match up to her daughter. It was unreliable to judge someone based on their ages. Her mother could not even compare to her daughter at all.

Qiao Dongliang was helpless and did not know what else to say to the Zhou Bing couple who was very enthusiastic about the marriage. “Brother Zhou, it really cannot work. Your son and my daughter do not know each other. What if they do not fancy each other? Wouldn’t I be breeding chaos by agreeing to the marriage? As for what will happen in the future, let’s just leave it to the future. If both of them are destined to be together, I would not object.”

Qiao Dongliang never thought that people would request Qiao Nan to be their daughter-in-law when she was only sixteen years old.

If not for the fact that he got along well with them during his hospital stay, and that they were on such close terms that he already greeted them as ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister-in-law’, Qiao Dongliang would have reprimanded them.

Nan Nan was only sixteen years old. She was still a child. How could they make such a request!

At the same time, Qiao Dongliang felt proud as well. Nan Nan was too outstanding. The way she handled matters was so mature and sensible that she did not seem like girls of her age. But this was exactly what made the Zhou Bing couple disregarded the fact that she was young.

If not for Nan Nan who was so outstanding, there was no need for Zhou Bing’s son who was already the company commander at twenty-three years old to be engaged to Nan Nan in a hurry.

But he did not care whether their son was a company commander or not.

Just as he had said, it was not that important for his future son-in-law to be very successful. What was important was that he must love, cherish and treasure Nan Nan.

In the Qiao family, Nan Nan might have to suffer and toil for over twenty years, but after she was married, her husband would cherish and love her for the rest of her life.

“Alright, we have an agreement. If Nan Nan takes a liking to my son, you cannot go back on your words.” Since Qiao Dongliang had made it so clear, there was nothing Zhou Bing could say. If he was to insist, it might make the situation awkward for them both.

Besides, Zhou Bing knew that he might have been very enthusiastic about getting a wife for his son, but his son might feel otherwise.

When he said earlier that he was going to get a wife for his son, he objected to it and was the least interested in it. Therefore, his son did not know that the lady and her family had kicked up such a fuss over the marriage.
