n, Jia Huan was leading a throng of cooks and servants, all sweating profusely.Just as he was enjoying some fresh air outside, Jia Huan saw his grandmother arrive with his father's wife, their childr..."What are you doing, Coral Get up, get up quickly!" Old Mrs. Li was startled and hurriedly bent down to help Coral up.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also chimed in, urging him.
Tao Hongying thought that Coral was thinking of her deceased parents and didn't want to acknowledge the godmother relationship. So she said, "Miss Coral, our family is very open-minded and won't force a child to do anything. If you don't like it, just say so, you can completely refuse to acknowledge the godmother relationship."
Coral shook her head and insisted on kneeling, saying, “Grandmother, Third Madam, Fourth Madam, I am just an orphan girl, and there are many rumors about me. The fact that the Li family is willing to accept me and marry me into their home, I am already extremely grateful.”
Today, the old madam came to my door in person and carefully planned and considered everything for me. I am truly beyond grateful and unable to repay her kindness.
"But I still have one unreasonable request, hoping that the old Madam will grant it."
Li Laotai and the two daughters-in-law looked at each other, both with three points of curiosity and seven points of confusion. They asked:
"Coral girl, you go ahead and tell me, what's the difficulty"
"That's when Coral said, 'Madame, when I went to seek revenge, my final intention was to commit suicide and join my family in the underworld. Unexpectedly, I was saved by General Li and brought to the field hospital where I stayed."
"Dr. Sun at the field hospital treated me like his own daughter, tending to my wounds and urging me to live a good life. He even protected me, allowing me to stay at the field hospital for so long."
"I know that if I accept the old lady's arrangement, I will surely have a good godfather or godmother, and my life in the future will definitely benefit everywhere.
"But Grandmother... may I take Dr. Sun as my adoptive father I want to care for him until he is old. Please, Grandmother, fulfill my wish to repay his kindness!"
Then, she slammed her head against the ground.
In the house, there was a long silence. After an age, just when Coral's heart was filled with anxiety at its worst, Old Lady Li personally helped her up.
"What a good girl!" Mrs. Li sighed, gently smoothing Coral's disheveled hair, and smiled, "Sometimes, I think our ancestors must have accumulated great virtue."
Let's not talk about our darling granddaughter, but even the daughters-in-law we have brought into the family are all exceptional.
"This excellence isn't about how noble your backgrounds are or how skilled you are, but that you are all kind and righteous children!
"
"When it comes to men marrying women, everything else is secondary. Loyalty and righteousness should come first. After all, a lifetime is so long, no one can guarantee that there won't be some bumps in the road. "
There was a wife who stuck by her husband through thick and thin, never leaving his side even during the toughest times. She wasn't afraid of hardship, knowing they would always get through it together.
"Obviously, our Jiajia is also a blessed child!"
Coral was a bit stunned, and blurted out, "Elder Madam, is this a yes"
"Of course, I agree! You silly girl!" Tao Hongying patted Coral's shoulder and smiled, "My mother not only agreed but also praised you as a kind and righteous girl!"
Zhao Yuru also laughed: "Yes, Coral girl, you'll know when you marry into our family. In Xindu Suijin Tan, the most in our village are disabled veterans, all elders of our family. Jia Yi sees them and has to call them grandfather."
"You're willing to accept an old army doctor as your godfather So kind and righteous, you were practically born to be part of our Li family!"
Coral let out a sigh of relief and started to laugh along, but as she laughed, her eyes welled up.
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you! I'm just a burden, and my family still allows me to support my stepfather..."
"What are you saying!" Old Madam Li pulled out her handkerchief and handed it to Coral, scolding, "From now on, all the businesses in Quanzhou, they're all going to be under your care. You have to help Jiayi and your uncle manage them. You're not a burden!
"Besides, it's only natural for a daughter to take care of her stepfather in his old age. Our Fu Niuer calls out every day that she wants to look after her stepfather!"
After settling Coral beside her, she excitedly discussed with her daughters-in-law who should go to Old Master Sun and tell him about this. They planned for a banquet to recognize the family ties, and discussed who should be witnesses...
At the military hospital in Hailan, seven or eight more wounded soldiers were brought in due to a minor skirmish at sea yesterday.
Dr. Sun was busy as a bee, not stopping until late at night before he could finally go to sleep. He had to keep getting up throughout the night to check on the wounded soldiers to see if they had a fever.
Perhaps it was because he was getting older, but this morning Sun Doctor woke up feeling lightheaded and with a bitter taste in his mouth.
He wanted to ask Coral to cook some porridge for him, but before he could speak, he remembered that Coral had left the camp to prepare for her wedding.
Unable to help it, he felt a bit disappointed.
This girl has been by his side for several months now, and he's grown accustomed to it. They occasionally chat and share a meal together, like an old married couple keeping each other company.
Now that the girl is gone, he feels sad but also happy for her.
A woman, if she finds a good home, will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
Just then, a soldier came to request something.
"Doctor Sun, the General asks for you at his tent."
"The Great General is looking for me" Dr. Sun wondered, but still quickly changed into a clean set of clothes and hurried over.
As soon as the results entered the main account, not only General Tang was present, but also Li Jia Yi.
Dr. Sun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Li family was dissatisfied with Coral and wanted her back
He was also quick-tempered, hastily performing a bow, and blurted out: "General, General Li, what happened to that Coral girl She's such a pitiful child, it's too hard for her!"
"If she has done anything wrong, just tell me, and I will go and persuade her..."
When Li Jiayi heard this, he knew the old military doctor had misunderstood. He quickly asked him to sit down.
General Tang also said, “Doctor Sun, please don’t worry. Coral is doing well. I invited you here today because there’s some good news.”
Good news
Sun Laofu felt relieved, but also became a little curious.
Li Jia-yi then said, "Doctor Sun, our family is worried that Coral is alone. We want to find a suitable match for her, and after the marriage, Coral will have a place to go."
Coral agreed, but she personally requested my grandmother's consent to recognize you as her godfather and to take care of you for the rest of your life.
"I'm here today on Coral's behalf to ask, would you be willing to take her as your adopted daughter"
General Tang was afraid that Doctor Sun would disagree, so he quickly said, "Doctor Sun, this is a good thing. To be honest, I've been wanting to be his adoptive father."
But the Coral Girl is a grateful one. Remembering your care for her these past few months, she wants to be your bridesmaid.
"Come on, just agree! I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine at the Li family!"
Sun Lao Ye was stunned for a long time, his eyes turning red.
"This silly girl, she thinks I'm her godfather There are plenty of people in this city who are stronger than me.
"A woman having a good family is something to be proud of, I'm just an old man buried up to my neck in loneliness..."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yi solemnly said: "Doctor Sun, after I marry Coral, I am willing to treat you as my father-in-law and show filial piety by taking good care of you until the end of my days.
"You don't need to think too much about it. Our Li family doesn't have the habit of relying on in-laws for power. So, my father-in-law's status doesn't matter at all."
"Besides, at Xin Du Suijin Beach, our family is also supporting several elders, all of whom are retired wounded soldiers. They are highly respected by the villagers. When you have the chance, come and see for yourself."
General Tang was getting furious. He was afraid that Dr. Sun wouldn't agree, so he shouted loudly, “Jia Yi, go prepare a banquet. Tomorrow I will escort this old fool over myself.”
"Such a good son-in-law and daughter, to be so hesitant! Be careful someone else will snatch them up, leaving you with regret!"h eloquent and knew how to protect themselves.They sent the person off in just a few words, and even managed to retort a few times along the way.But Madam Xing had been bedridden for many years and ra...
