Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 1243: The Mother-in-Law Examines Her Son-in-Law (Fifth Update)
"Not at all, Sister Tang is very young, doesn’t look like she’s had a child at all," the girl quickly replied.
Chenchen pulled the girl close, whispering in her ear, "Sis, you don’t know, my mom loves it when people praise her for being young and beautiful."
"Chenchen." Tang Yue looked at Chenchen and instantly understood what her mischievous daughter was up to.
"Chenchen, Sister Tang is naturally young and beautiful, I’ve never seen anyone as pretty," the girl said sincerely.
With a proud expression, Chenchen said, "Of course, my mom is the most young and beautiful."
In the Tang Family, everyone was joyful, laughter filled the air, and the girl’s initial anxiety completely disappeared.
On the other side, in the Sun Family, the atmosphere was also harmonious.
Mr. and Mrs. Sun had already prepared the meal. They were delighted to see their daughter Sun Rou, but seeing Gu Hang, Mr. Sun became less cheerful.
Mrs. Sun, however, increasingly took a liking to Gu Hang, who seemed sensible and considerate. Especially the way Gu Hang looked at Sun Rou, filled with affection; marrying him would certainly not be a mistake.
"How’s it going, is Gu Hang’s injury better?" Sun Qing asked quietly.
"He hasn’t fully recovered yet, still needs more rest. Sis, how did you talk to Daddy and Mom?" Sun Rou whispered, unable to meet Mr. Sun’s gaze earlier.
"I just said it like that. Why, haven’t you and Gu Hang decided to get married?" Sun Qing teased in response.
Her sister’s heart was awakened by love, having finally found mutual feelings with Gu Hang. As the elder sister, Sun Qing naturally wanted to see this through.
"I want to marry him, but is it too fast?"
Sun Rou felt their relationship was developing too quickly.
"What’s too fast? Gu Hang has liked you for years, and you were clueless," Sun Qing rolled her eyes. Over the years, if Gu Hang didn’t care, how could he coincidentally run into Sun Rou at the welfare center each time?
Their encounters were almost serendipitous.
Gu Hang had kept Xiao Rou in his heart for years, but previously, Xiao Rou hadn’t thought about it. Now that she’s considering marrying him, naturally Sun Qing encourages it; better to marry than have Xiao Rou suffer later.
"Sis."
Sun Rou blushed as her pale face turned red at Sun Qing’s words.
In the living room.
Mr. Sun wore a displeased expression, questioning Gu Hang on various topics. Although anxious, Gu Hang still answered sincerely, leaving Mr. Sun with nothing to complain about.
Gu Hang, handsome and tall, seemed mature beyond his years and was kind-hearted. He treated Xiao Rou well, handing over his family assets soon after confirming their relationship. Though it didn’t mean much, it proved Gu Hang’s genuine sincerity.
"I heard from Xiaoqing you’re all alone, with no family?" Mr. Sun inquired.
"Yes," Gu Hang nodded, worried about Mr. Sun’s disapproval, "Uncle Sun, please don’t worry. Although I’m alone, I’ll treat Xiao Rou well twice as much, and be good to Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun too. Our future kids can even take the surname Sun."
"Nonsense, how can your children have the surname Sun, shouldn’t they take their father’s surname?"
Mr. Sun grimaced at Gu Hang’s suggestion, being quite traditional and believing children should take their father’s surname.
Though they had two daughters, in their eyes, daughters and sons were equals.
"Uncle Sun, have you agreed to me and Xiao Rou?" Gu Hang asked with a thrilled expression, his excitement amusing Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun said, "Hmph, if you dare mistreat Xiao Rou, I won’t let it go." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Mr. Sun glared at Gu Hang, speaking each word deliberately.
Gu Hang stood up excitedly, saying, "Rest assured, Uncle Sun, I certainly won’t mistreat Xiao Rou."
During dinner, Zhao Xiangqian returned home and, upon seeing Gu Hang, understood the situation—good news was likely on the way.
Mrs. Sun now viewed Gu Hang as her son-in-law, and the more she saw him, the more satisfied she became. After the meal, they sat together chatting, naturally bringing up the topic of Sun Rou and Gu Hang’s wedding amidst discussions of favorable days.
Sun Rou: "..."
This is happening too fast, isn’t it?
Gu Hang seemed hesitant.
"What is it, you don’t want to get married?" Mr. Sun frowned as he noticed Gu Hang’s hesitation.
"No, I’ve agreed to teach at Hope Primary School in Changshui Village for at least a year. I’m afraid after marriage, I might neglect Xiao Rou," Gu Hang quickly explained, worried he’d leave a bad impression on Mr. Sun.
"That’s okay; once you’re married, visiting Xiao Rou or her visiting you is perfectly appropriate."
Mr. Sun reassured, explaining their relatives were mainly neighbors in Yun City, making the wedding straightforward—just inviting close people for a meal.
"I’m willing," Gu Hang confirmed, eagerly looking at Sun Rou. He continued, "Xiao Rou, I may not give you a grand wedding, but I’ll use my lifelong sincerity to prove your choice is right."
Gu Hang’s words were humble, since he was alone, and the Sun Family wasn’t large. A grand wedding was impractical, but he pledged to cherish Sun Rou forever.
"I..." Though bashful, Sun Rou nodded in agreement amidst Gu Hang’s earnestness.
"Good, good, let’s pick a nice day, and everyone can have a meal together, kind of like a banquet," Mrs. Sun cheerfully said. The more she saw Gu Hang, the more pleased she was, adding, "Xiangqian, we’ll need to invite the other in-laws for a toast."
Previously, Sun Qing’s wedding was a company affair, given Gu Hang’s situation, so Mrs. Sun naturally considered the two of them.
The two families—or rather, Gu Hang and the Sun Family—would dine together, holding a simple wedding, which essentially counted as getting married.
When Tang Yue received the news, she was still shocked at the speed, faster than a plane. However, thinking it over, Gu Hang and Sun Qing hadn’t just met, so it didn’t feel rushed.
Besides, Tang Yue specifically told Gu Hang not to worry about teaching in the village. The teachers Gu Hang recommended were excellent, and Tang Yue planned to let Gu Hang manage the first Hope Primary School to increase his income, trusting him with the task.
Recently, Gu Hang had won overwhelming praise from the villagers and admiration from the kids who spoke of Teacher Gu with reverence.
Every time, the girl said Teacher Gu was wonderful, his stories delightful.
"Girl, your Teacher Gu is getting married," Tang Yue shared the good news, and the girl excitedly asked, "Is Teacher Gu going to have kids soon too?"
"Yes."
Tang Yue nodded with a smile, saying, "Girl, come and try on the clothes I made for you."
