Zeng Captain's words to Eldest Cousin left Yu Ziyu knowing that Li Weixin was not on a mission.
She sent a text message, and soon her phone rang.
"Second Sister-in-law?"
"It's me. Do you have your cousin's phone number?"
"Yes, what do you need cousin's number for?"
"Didn't Aunt Li ask me to introduce a girlfriend to cousin? I was planning to introduce my own cousin to him."
"What about me?" Li Weixin was displeased. "That group chat is full of all sorts of people. I only chatted for two days before I left."
"They're all snobs. As soon as I said we lived in the mountains, they all started criticizing me. Apart from you, the group leader, none of them stayed."
"Hehe." Yu Ziyu chuckled. "I'll disband the group later and make them regret it."
"If I find someone suitable, I'll definitely think of you. My cousin is a bit slow-witted and wouldn't be a good match for you."
"Not only do I want to find someone with a similar personality to you, but I also want someone who matches my temperament, so that our family can live in harmony, right?"
Li Weixin felt pleased. His second sister-in-law was looking out for the Li family. "Okay, I'll give you his phone number."
"In that case, you can create a new group and set me as an administrator."
"I'll catch Brother Yanyan later and get him into the group."
"Okay, okay." Yu Ziyu was happy to have an accomplice.
"Little brother, let's cooperate well. I'll bring the girls I like into the group, and we'll help everyone in our family get married as soon as possible."
"Mhm, mhm." Li Weixin was also happy that his second sister-in-law was so invested in the Li family's affairs.
"Then I'll invite all my cousins into the group."
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
The two fiddled for a while. One group, which caused the entire circle to regret it later, was disbanded, and a new group, which people in the circle flocked to join, was established.
Because of this group, it later expanded to include all the unmarried male members of the special skills team, and Li Weixin invited them all in.
Yu Ziyu went downstairs a long time later, making Shen Jianfang extremely anxious. "Are they coming?"
Yu Ziyu gave her aunt an OK gesture.
Then she asked her aunt to join the adult conversation session with the elders on Grandpa's side, leaving this space for the younger generation.
After Shen Jianfang left, Yu Ziyu opened the newly created group. Including the group leader, there were only four people.
"I've also added you and Eldest Cousin. This administrator is Little Brother."
"Little Brother will add one more person later, and that person is Little Brother's eldest cousin."
"I heard he's very skilled in martial arts, but he's a bit hot-tempered."
"His mother, which is Aunt Li, is also quick-tempered, but I quite like Aunt Li. She's straightforward and speaks her mind."
"You should try. I think your personality might be able to win him over."
"I haven't met him, I've only heard about him, but I feel he's a bit rebellious. Someone like that would probably like someone like you who doesn't talk much and is virtuous."
"He's three years older than you, which is perfect."
"Thank you, Cousin." Li Wanzhen said solemnly, "I'll do my best."
As the cousins were talking, seven more people were added to the group.
Yu Ziyu clicked to see who they were: [Tycoon] [Mute] [Brilliant] [Erudite] [Fortune] [Peace] [Silent].
Well, all the Li family members of this generation had been invited by Li Weixin.
The group messages were flashing.
Yu Ziyu opened it and saw:
[Accidental] @ZiFeiYu: The group leader actually forgot her fiancé. This is outrageous. One minute of silence for her fiancé.
Li Wanting and Li Wanzhen also saw it. From this sentence, they could tell that this administrator, Little Brother, was quite lively.
Yu Ziyu quickly replied:
[ZiFeiYu] @Accidental: I'm busy with my second job. Don't report me.
[Accidental]: Alright, I'll let the group leader off this time. Why aren't the two elder sisters talking? @GracefulAndElegant @CherishTheMoment
Li Wanting looked at Yu Ziyu.
Yu Ziyu replied in the group:
[ZiFeiYu] @Accidental: GracefulAndElegant doesn't like to talk, she likes to lurk. CherishTheMoment is a bit shy and will talk when she gets comfortable.
[Accidental]: Oh, talking more helps people get comfortable. @CherishTheMoment, don't let the group leader do all the talking, you talk yourself.
Yu Ziyu exited the group chat. "Wanzhen, you can chat on your own for a while. Sister Wanting, you can check the group from time to time, it's also..."
"Ring, ring, ring."
Before she could finish her sentence, a ringing sound similar to a landline phone went off.
She looked speechlessly at the source of the sound. Eldest Cousin had actually set her phone to this ringtone?
"Yes!" Li Wanting stood at attention and saluted as she answered the phone.
After hanging up, she said to Grandpa Shen, "My transfer order has arrived. I have to go back to the army."
"Go." Grandpa Shen waved his hand. "This time, Grandpa hopes you'll work hard for yourself."
"You've already earned enough honor outside. Now, it's for yourself."
"Yes!"
Li Wanting still stood at attention and saluted.
Lowering her arm, she said goodbye to Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo, "Aunt Tian, Uncle Li, I'm leaving."
Tian Jing nodded.
She didn't need to say any encouraging words; she had already given this young woman the greatest help.
Li Zhengguo gave a soft hum and continued his conversation with Yu Jinghai.
Li Jinghua and Shen Jianfang bid farewell. They had come in one car and would drive their eldest daughter back and notify their family.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo stood up to see them off.
Li Jinghua and Shen Jianfang urged them to stay, but then they hurriedly left with their three children.
The departing figure of their eldest daughter was filled with excitement and anticipation. Grandpa Shen thanked Tian Jing.
"Xiao Tian, thank you. You took in Wanting and turned my eldest daughter from a stagnant pool into a flowing stream."
Tian Jing waved her hand. "Uncle Shen, you're too kind. We're family now, and we help each other when we can."
"I can't just watch a girl standing at a crossroads, lost and unable to find her way."
"She'll be doing odd jobs there for now. If a suitable position opens up later, I'll see what I can do for her."
"It's okay," Grandpa Shen waved his hand. "Being accepted there is an honor in itself; it's the highest recognition of ability.
"No matter what position she has inside, it's enough for Jinghua and Jianfang."
"As for Wanting, it all depends on her own wishes. If she wants to be an odd-job girl for her whole life, that's fine, as long as she's healthy."
Tian Jing nodded. The expectations elders had for their children were often contradictory.
When they were healthy, they hoped they would achieve great things and become dragons or phoenixes.
But if there were any health issues, they immediately abandoned the pursuit of fame and fortune, only wishing for their child's well-being.
...
Shen Jianrong and her husband had already brought out the local specialty products from their eldest and second brother's families.
Seeing the wild eggs and fresh vegetables, Ma Xingxiang, who had some understanding of Kusan Mountain, was very satisfied.
Zhao Qilan, however, was not.
The fact that they were willing to give them so much implied that their little sister had more left behind.
Shen Jianrong said sarcastically, "Second Sister-in-law, these are gifts from my in-laws to me."
"Every time your maiden family sent things, you'd give us a spring onion and a pumpkin. Did I say anything?"
"Take it or leave it. It's just right for Dad to take them. Dad said a fifth of what I gave him was too little."
Zhao Qilan winked at Ma Xingxiang.
Ma Xingxiang ignored her and turned back to the living room to call her son out to load the car.
Shen Zhaoqiu came out with his cousin and was very happy to see the pile of local specialties.
He and his cousin opened the two cars from the two families and started loading them into the trunks one by one.
The trunks of all four cars were full, and some wild eggs were placed on the back seats.
"Hmph!" Shen Jianrong snorted. "Greed makes people insatiable. If anyone is willing to carry these things back, I'll give them my share."
Zhao Qilan pretended not to hear and called her husband to prepare to go home.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo walked them to the gate.
The four black sedans drove away. Shen Jianrong breathed a sigh of relief, "Guests are gone, hosts can rest."
But the real guests were not as tiring as her own relatives.
Grandpa Shen asked Xiao Wang and Xiao Xia to get ready to leave, but Shen Jianrong stopped them.
"Dad, we still need to buy a house for Ziyu tomorrow. Aren't you going to take a look?"
"Don't you get tired of listening to the bickering of those two families when you go back?"
"Alright!" Grandpa Shen also didn't want to face his two sons.
Although they didn't live together, being in the same compound, he could hear all sorts of noisy news every day, which gave him a headache.
