The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 466 - They Encouraged Zhang Qianqian to Pursue Su Ming

Wang Faang said with a warm smile, “Mother-in-law, we need to pick an auspicious day for their wedding.”

Lee Sumei nodded in agreement. “The village chief always chose the auspicious days around here. But there's no hurry. Once the village chief is feeling better, we'll consult with him. Then, we'll truly be one big family.”

Zhang Tao nodded along.

Su Ming's head was spinning with all this talk.

Why were they already discussing his marriage to Zhang Qianqian?

Feeling the urgency, Su Ming coughed and approached the group. If he didn't intervene soon, who knows? The elders might even start picking out names for his future children.

Upon seeing Su Ming, Zhang Tao burst into laughter and clapped him on the shoulder, exclaiming, “Here comes my son-in-law!”

Su Ming quickly interjected, “Uncle Zhang, please, you're kidding, right? I graduated two years ago, and Qianqian is just a freshman. She's much younger than I am; we're not a good match.”

Zhang Tao chuckled and replied, “You're mistaken. It's perfectly normal for a man to be older than a woman. Being a few years older than Qianqian is no big deal.”

”But I already have a girlfriend,” Su Ming insisted, hoping to quell their matchmaking.

“You have a girlfriend?” Su Tao and Lee Sumei were taken aback. “How come we didn't know about this? Is it true, or are you just making it up?”

A look of disappointment crossed Zhang Qianqian's face.

“You're not just making up excuses to deceive us, are you?” Zhang Tao's mood soured.

His daughter was attractive and sweet, with good grades and a kind heart. She was more than qualified to be Su Ming's girlfriend.

“It's true, I'm not lying,” Su Ming affirmed.

He pulled out his phone and showed them a photo of himself with Xiao Ke'er, taken during a particularly affectionate moment.

”She's quite the beauty,” Lee Sumei remarked, her eyes lighting up along with Su Tao's. They were clearly impressed with the potential daughter-in-law.

Zhang Tao's displeasure returned. They had been complimenting his daughter, and now they were admiring another girl.

Upon seeing his parents and Zhang Tao's reactions, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they had dropped the idea of Zhang Qianqian becoming his wife.

However, in that instant, Zhang Tao slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “No worries, Qianqian can be your lover.”

Su Ming was dumbfounded.

“What I mean is, you could have two girlfriends. This girl is gorgeous and talented, but my daughter is no slouch either. She's got looks and a great figure.”

“Listen, daughter, never get discouraged, no matter what. We must have the courage to conquer any challenge. You'll definitely win Su Ming's heart,” Zhang Tao encouraged Zhang Qianqian right then and there.

Zhang Qianqian clenched her fists and nodded vigorously.

Su Ming was flabbergasted.

He couldn't fathom why Zhang Tao was pushing for Zhang Qianqian to be his lover.

Zhang Tao had his reasons. The pool of exceptional young men suitable for his daughter was disappointingly small.

He considered Su Ming to be a fine young man.

His daughter and Su Ming had gotten along well in the past, but they had lost touch for several years. Now that they had reconnected, he was determined to support her bold pursuit of Su Ming.

Xiao Ke'er was indeed beautiful and talented, but his daughter shared over a decade of friendship with Su Ming, having grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

Thus, his daughter stood a chance at winning Su Ming's affections.

Besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if Su Ming had two or three girlfriends.

Su Ming glanced at Zhang Tao, then at the reinvigorated and eager Zhang Qianqian, and involuntarily massaged his temples.

He couldn't bear it any longer. Turning to his parents, he said, “Mom, Dad, let's head home. Pack up and come with me to the city. If we wait too long, driving at night will be a hassle.”

Su Tao and Lee Sumei had been observing with amused smiles. They nodded in agreement with Su Ming's suggestion. As the family was about to depart, Zhang Tao suddenly interjected, “Hold on a second!”

Su Ming tensed up, wondering what Uncle Zhang was up to.

With a warm smile, Zhang Tao offered, “My daughter's school is closed for a few days due to renovations. Su Ming, it's been ages since you two caught up. Why not take her with you to the city for a visit? Su Qiu's at university in Eastsea, right? Qianqian and Su Qiu haven't seen each other in a long time. If she joins you on your trip to Eastsea, they can have a reunion.”

Upon seeing Zhang Tao's expression, Su Ming was suddenly filled with regret. Had he known about this situation beforehand, he wouldn't have rushed to summon doctors from the capital to attend to Village Chief Zhang.

While Su Ming was fretting, Lee Sumei cheerfully said, “No problem, Qianqian will join us.”

Su Ming was taken aback.

Before he could even speak, his mother had agreed to the arrangement without consulting him.

Then, Zhang Qianqian came bounding over, wrapping her arms around Su Ming's arm just as she did when she was little. “Let's go, Brother Ming.”

Su Ming felt a headache brewing.

He let out a resigned sigh.

Amidst the pleased looks from Wang Faang and Zhang Tao, Su Ming, with rigid movements, escorted Zhang Qianqian and his parents downstairs.

Zhang Tao stroked his stubble with great satisfaction, remarking, “They make quite the matched pair.”

Wang Faang was absolutely delighted.
