Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 311: Chapter 57: Great Satisfaction! Sister-in-law’s Splendid Family Visit_2

At this very moment.

From the main residence of the Changning Xu Family, two robust middle-aged men dressed in brocade robes stepped out.

Although both were in their fifties or sixties, they did not look old thanks to their long-term cultivation. And due to their upbringing, they had been in high positions for a long time, holding power, always exhibiting an air of composure and dignity.

The leading brother, Xu Zhenxing, spotted his sister and brother-in-law and immediately greeted them with a smile, “Chunyun, Shouxin, you’ve already reached the door of our home. What’s keeping you?”

Xu Chunyun, unhurried and composed, bowed and said, “Chunyun greets her two elder brothers.”

Wang Shouxin also stepped forward, cupping his hand in greeting, “Shouxin greets his two elder brothers.”

His manner was neither overbearing nor humble, respecting every bit of the etiquette.

“Shouxin, there’s no need to be so formal.”

Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye quickly stepped forward, supporting him from his left and right.

Their faces were filled with smiles, with an extremely warm attitude.

“We brothers haven’t seen each other for many years. The entrance isn’t the place for a chat, please follow us inside quickly,” they said.

“Elder brothers, please don’t be hasty.” Xu Chunyun added, “There are still some things in the carriage, all local specialties Shouxin brought for father.”

Xu Zhenxing was slightly taken aback, then laughed and patted his head, “Look at your brother, I’m just too excited to see you both.”

With that, he waved his hand, prompting several house servants to come out from the main mansion to help unload the gifts.

And what a sight they were.

A whole bag of Bai Yu (White Jade) Spirit Rice weighing hundreds of pounds, a whole jar of Spiritual Wine brewed from Red Crystal Rice, a front leg of an Iron-backed Wild Pig weighing about fifty to sixty pounds, a large jar of Salted Spirit Fish Meat, ten pounds of ordinary tea leaves, and a bit of Spiritual Tea.

In addition, there was a list of gifts that consisted of large quantities of ordinary rice, fruits, vegetables, and poultry like chickens, ducks, fish, and geese.

Since there were too many items and the carriage could not fit them all, another carriage was supposed to bring the remaining gifts later.

Xu Zhenxing and Xu Zhenye, who held significant positions in the Changning Xu Family and usually maintained a broad view of things, were quite astonished by these arrangements.

Returning to her maternal home, Chunyun had prepared exceedingly lavish gifts. If someone didn’t know any better, they would think this was a marriage proposal.

The two brothers looked at each other, their voices significantly lowered.

“This… Chunyun, Shouxin, isn’t this too much?” they asked.

“Elder brothers,” Xu Chunyun’s eyes were brimming with pride, “Our Shouxin said that father’s vitality has not been as robust as before in recent years. He needs to eat more Spirit Food to nourish his body so that he can extend his life and live beyond a hundred.”

Upon hearing these words, both brothers’ faces grew slightly awkward, a flush creeping onto their cheeks.

The Changning Xu Family was a well-established Eighth Grade Prominent Family. As a family elder, Xu Anming, their Old Master, received quite a healthy amount of tribute every year.

The reason why his vitality had sharply declined in recent years was naturally because he had been giving his own portion of tribute to his grandchildren.

Many family elders in other clans did the same; after all, their time was coming to an end, while their descendants were still young and had greater potential.

However, Xu Chunyun’s words surely struck a chord of discomfort within her brothers.

Fortunately, they were well aware of Xu Chunyun’s temperament and quickly laughed it off, smoothly transitioning to the following topic.

Due to its extensive history, the population of the Changning Xu Family was naturally much larger than that of the Ping’an Wang Family’s. The main entrance was a hive of activity with constant comings and goings.

Upon witnessing this scene, anyone who inquired quickly learned that Xu Chunyun, who had married into the Ping’an Wang Family years ago, had come to visit her parents.

The news of the gifts spread quickly, causing quite a stir within the family.

“She really didn’t hold back on the gifts for this visit,” some remarked.

“Old Master Xu Anming really has a good daughter. It seems he can look forward to reaping the rewards of having a good son-in-law in the future.”

“I’ve always said Uncle Anming was blessed. Look, hasn’t it come true?”

Many people envied Old Master Xu Anming; in particular, other family elders close to his age were green with jealousy.

When time came to choose a bride for the marital alliance with the Ping’an Wang Family, they too had daughters on the list of candidates, but they had gone to great lengths to refuse that possibility. Who could have imagined, only a few decades had passed and the tides had turned s?

In the midst of this buzz, Wang Shouxin and Xu Chunyun, along with the Xu brothers, Zhenxing and Zhenye, with gifts in tow, grandly made their way into Lixiang Garden, where old father Xu Anming resided.

In the main hall.

Xu Anming hadn’t seen his daughter for many years, overwhelmed with emotion, he teared up, clutching his daughter’s hand and inquiring about her well-being.

For him, no matter how old his daughter was, she would always be his baby girl.

Besides their third son who was away on business, and the eldest daughter married into the Wangxia Lei Family, this reunion included almost all the family members.

Of course, the younger generation was not present, as they usually disliked these relatives’ gatherings.

Wang Shouxin also stepped forward to pay his respects, “Greetings to the father-in-law.”

“Shouxin, ah~”

Xu Anming wiped away his tears and quickly helped Wang Shouxin to his feet.

His expression was somewhat complicated. At the time when his daughter was to marry Wang Shouxin, he was utterly against it. Considering the conditions of the Ping’an Wang Family at the time, how could his daughter have a good life?

Fortunately, despite their poverty, the Wang Family did not treat his daughter unfairly. Plus, he knew Wang Shouxin adored Xu Chunyun, which comforted him quite a bit.

However, to his surprise, the Ping’an Wang Family’s fortunes had taken a turn for the better in recent years.

This Shouxin had also become prosperous. Ten years ago, he was not even at the seventh layer of Qi Refinement stage, but now, he emanated a radiant presence, and his mysterious energy was profound and unfathomable.
