185: Chen Yuxi's family situation was made public to her family.

Upon hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Zhang Chunhua immediately guessed why he was going to the provincial capital.

Therefore, she happily said, "Son, are you going to the provincial capital to see your girlfriend? I don't know when you'll be able to bring your girlfriend home for us to meet?"

"My Eldest Grandson has a girlfriend? That's wonderful! It's cold outside, let's go inside, and you can tell your grandmother all about it," Li Lan said happily.

Once the five of them were inside, Lin Zifeng said, "Grandmother, Mom, I am going to the provincial capital to see my girlfriend. I also want to take this opportunity to discuss marriage plans with her. If all goes well, I intend to get married within this year. If that's the case, it won't be long before I can bring her home."

"Eldest Grandson, is your girlfriend from the provincial capital? What is her name? What does she look like?"

Li Lan asked several questions in quick succession, her face full of eagerness.

"Grandmother, my girlfriend's name is Chen Yuxi. She is from the provincial capital and is very beautiful," he said with a confident look.

"Oh, that's wonderful. Eldest Grandson, do you have a photo? Let me see it."

Under the expectant gazes of the others, Lin Zifeng took out his phone, found a photo of Chen Yuxi, and handed it to Li Lan.

The three of them gathered around to look at the phone in Li Lan's hand.

"Oh my, this girl is truly beautiful; she looks like she stepped right out of a painting. How can there be such a beautiful young woman? My Eldest Grandson is truly capable; the wife he found is so beautiful," Li Lan said with pleasant surprise.

"Zifeng, if you plan to get married this year, our family needs to prepare in advance. At the very least, the parents from both sides should meet to discuss the dowry and other wedding arrangements," Zhang Chunhua said happily, looking at how beautiful Chen Yuxi was.

"Mom, let's talk about that later! Yuxi's family is a bit special; we can't follow the customs of an ordinary family. We might get our marriage certificate first, and the wedding banquet will have to be postponed," Lin Zifeng said thoughtfully.

"Son, you mentioned last time that your girlfriend's family background is not ordinary. What kind of family is it exactly? There are no outsiders here, so you might as well tell us properly! That way, we can be prepared," Zhang Chunhua said again.

"It's like this, Mom: Yuxi's father is the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chen Yuanhua, and her mother is a Division-Head Level Cadre at the Provincial Women's Federation. She also has an older sister who is the owner of a large company with a market value of hundreds of millions, and she is also the Investor for the Yingjianzui Scenic Area in Heping Town. Yuxi graduated two years ago and is working at her sister's company," Lin Zifeng explained, stating Chen Yuxi's family situation all at once.

Upon hearing what Lin Zifeng said, everyone was stunned. Lin Jiahua spoke up, "That family background is truly extraordinary! It is no exaggeration to say they are wealthy and powerful. You'll have to handle this matter yourself."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat to one side, looking at Chen Yuxi's beautiful photo and discussing how pretty she was.

Lin Zhenhua and his son were also whispering. "Jiahua, there is a certain gap between our family and theirs. For us to marry their daughter is punching above our weight. Fortunately, my Eldest Grandson is successful; he is only in his twenties and is already a county magistrate. Being young and promising makes up for that gap. My Eldest Grandson can handle his own marriage; we don't need to worry. However, you two cannot do nothing. You should take out the money you prepared for my Eldest Grandson's wedding in advance and let him manage it all himself!"

"Dad, we will listen to you. We have saved 160,000 over the years, specifically for Zifeng's wedding. When we return to the county, we will give this money to your Eldest Grandson. Let him manage it himself; your son and I will definitely not interfere."

Before Lin Jiahua could speak, Zhang Chunhua stated her position first. Lin Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction and then added, "Wife, take out our savings too and give them to our Eldest Grandson! We don't need them anyway; let him take them and manage them freely!"

"I'll go get them now. They were originally meant for our Eldest Grandson to get married with. Since my Eldest Grandson is getting married, it's time to take this money out," Li Lan said with a smile.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, how can I take your money! You should keep it for yourselves! I don't need it," Lin Zifeng hurriedly refused.

But Li Lan didn't listen to him; she quickly took out a bankbook and insisted on giving it to him.

Seeing that he absolutely refused to accept it, Li Lan changed her target and stuffed the bankbook into Zhang Chunhua's hand.

Zhang Chunhua curiously opened the bankbook. Seeing the amount, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Mom, Dad, how did you save so much money? It's more than what Jiahua and I saved; there is actually 180,000 here!"

"What's so surprising about that? Although I don't have a pension, and Your Father was just an ordinary worker before he retired, he has been retired for over twenty years. Plus, our family has so much land! Your Father and I don't have any major expenses, so isn't it quite reasonable to save this much money?" Li Lan said with a smile.

No matter how the others tried to persuade him, Lin Zifeng did not accept the bankbook.

Because he knew clearly in his heart that this was his grandparents' life savings; it would be no exaggeration to say this was their burial money.

He stated his reason, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Mom, Dad, I am a county magistrate after all. I'm so old now; if I still spend my grandparents' money, wouldn't people laugh their heads off if they heard about it?"

Seeing that he was determined not to accept it, Li Lan gave a wink to Zhang Chunhua and the others, and they stopped persuading him.

Knowing that Lin Zifeng was leaving the next morning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared a sumptuous dinner that evening.

Lin Zifeng accompanied his grandfather and father, and they drank a few cups appropriately.

After dinner, the family of five chatted until past ten o'clock before returning to their respective rooms to rest.

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Lin Zifeng woke up very early and practiced a set of Eight Extremities Fist with Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua gave him some pointers, and the grandfather and grandson walked into the house laughing and talking.

By then, Zhang Chunhua had already prepared breakfast, and the family of five sat around the table and began to eat.

"Son, you are going to the provincial capital alone. Be safe on the road and drive slowly."

Zhang Chunhua said, worrying as she ate.

Li Lan and the others also gave him instructions. Lin Zifeng agreed to each one, reassuring them, and finished breakfast amidst their warm reminders.

After breakfast, he packed up simply, said goodbye to the four of them, and drove away under their reluctant gazes.

Lin Zifeng set off before eight o'clock, so by a quarter past nine, he had driven onto the Expressway and was speeding towards the provincial capital.

Shortly after one in the afternoon, he drove off the Expressway and arrived at the provincial capital.
