"Auntie, my name is Zhou Jiajia, you can just call me Jiajia. I'm thirty-three this year, a few years older than Yifan. However, I can cook, and I can do housework, I hope you won't look down on me for that," Jiajia said.

Zhou Jiajia was extremely nervous. As the oldest among the four women, she was very afraid that Lin Yifan's mother would mind this point; after all, the older generation in Shenzhou Country tended to be more traditional, especially in rural areas.

Seeing Jiajia's little hands constantly fidgeting with her clothes and her face flushed with panic, Lin Yifan's mother smiled, took Jiajia's hands in hers, and comforted her kindly, "Jiajia! Don't be nervous. Isn't there a saying in Shenzhou Country, 'A woman three years older, a treasure of gold.' As long as you treat Yifan well, I won't have any objections."

"Really? Thank you, Auntie!"

Jiajia was overjoyed, with Lin Yifan's mother's words, she felt reassured.

"You're welcome, if such a beautiful girl like you does not scorn my son Fan'er, how could I ever scorn you?" Lin Yifan's mother asked with a smile, the answer already crystal clear.

After Zhou Jiajia finished introducing herself, it was An Qi's turn.

An Qi was also a bit nervous, but as the most lively one, she wasn't afraid of Lin Yifan's mother and thus mischievously began to introduce herself, "Auntie, my name is An Qi, you can call me Qiqi, or Qi'er. I am twenty-seven this year, the same age as Yifan. However, I don't know how to cook but can do a bit of housework; but I am definitely devoted to Yifan, so you don't have to worry about me bullying him."

"Hehe! Seems like a Ghost Spirit, just like Lian'er," Lin Yifan's mother chuckled to her husband and elder brother and sister-in-law, then replied, "It's fine if you can't do housework, I'll help you with that, as long as you love Yifan."

"Really?" An Qi asked curiously.

"Mm!" Lin Yifan's mother nodded in response.

"That's great, Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely devote myself to Yifan wholeheartedly, there will absolutely be no infidelity; plus, I will also work hard to learn housework, striving not to worry you."

"Hehe, it's enough that you have this intention," Lin Yifan's mother said with gratification.

She was very satisfied with the first two daughters-in-law; she just didn't know if the next two would also please her.

After An Qi introduced herself, it was Su Qingqing's turn.

Su Qingqing was born in the countryside and had relatively conservative thoughts, so upon seeing Lin Yifan's mother, she actually felt a sense of kinship.

Then, with a shy face, she introduced herself to Lin Yifan's mother, "Auntie, my name is Su Qingqing, you can call me Qingqing. I'm twenty-four this year, graduated from Guiyuan City University of Science and Technology, a university graduate. I can do various kinds of housework, including cooking, stir-frying, sewing, and so on; however, I was born in a rural family with not very good economic conditions, please don't disdain me for that."

"Oh my! You can do so many household tasks, and to top it off, you're a graduate from a prestigious university, why would I ever disdain you? Qingqing, don't be too self-deprecating, we are a rural family too, as long as you don't scorn us, I definitely will not scorn you," Lin Yifan's mother consoled.

Looking at Su Qingqing's immature face, she also felt an affinity toward her; among the four women, she felt that Su Qingqing was the most down-to-earth. But that was not to say that Zhou Jiajia and the rest weren't good, it was just a feeling she couldn't help.

"Really?" It was an unexpected surprise, she had not expected Lin Yifan's mother to not mind at all, so she didn't need to feel inferior anymore.

"Really, a girl as outstanding as you doesn't look down upon my Yifan, how could I possibly look down upon you?" Lin Yifan's mother replied.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"You're welcome."

Finally, it was Fangfang's turn.

At this moment, little Fang was incredibly nervous; to her, the thoughts of everyone present were even more conservative than hers. Consequently, upon seeing Lin Yifan's mother, she became so anxious that she couldn't speak.

Seeing little Fang this nervous, Lin Yifan's mother reached out, took hold of little Fang's hand, and gently comforted her, "Sweetheart, don't be afraid. I'm just an ordinary old woman; I don't bite."

"Auntie... Auntie, I... I..."

Despite this soothing attempt, little Fang was still frightened and trembled without being able to speak.

"Little sister Fangfang, don't be scared, just talk like you normally would," Zhou Jiajia and the others came over to comfort her.

They had been quite nervous just a moment ago and knew how little Fang felt, so they wanted to give her some courage.

"Mom, don't mind it, Fangfang normally doesn't see many people. She gets very nervous around strangers; thus facing you, her future mother-in-law, she's even more anxious," Lin Yifan opened his mouth to help explain.

He hadn't expected little Fang to be this nervous, which was a bit surprising for him. He had thought little Fang had already integrated into this society, but it seems he had been careless.

"It's okay, I understand. I won't blame her. Don't worry," Lin Yifan's mother responded.

With everyone's help and after a few deep breaths to calm down, little Fang finally began to speak, "Auntie, I'm sorry for disappointing you just now."

"That's alright. When I first met Yifan's grandmother, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak either, and all the relatives and friends laughed at me. So, you don't need to apologize; being nervous is not a mistake," Lin Yifan's mother replied.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your understanding." With her heart eased, little Fang introduced herself, "Auntie, my name is little Fang. You can just call me Fangfang in the future; I'm twenty-five years old, with no father or mother, an orphan raised by my master from a young age, with good character. I can also do all kinds of household chores, the kind with clever hands and a good heart. So, auntie, if there's work you can't finish, you can ask little Fang to do it. I'll surely complete it perfectly to ensure you'll be pleased."

"Really? That's wonderful! Another one who can do household chores, which means I, this old woman, won't have to work anymore, hehe!" Lin Yifan's mother laughed happily.

Overall, she liked all four daughters-in-law. It seemed her son's taste was quite good and didn't encounter any bizarre ones.

"But you won't mind my background, will you, Auntie?" little Fang asked nervously yet curiously.

"Having no father and no mother doesn't matter; just treat us as your parents from now on. Of course, we'll treasure you as the apple of our eye," Lin Yifan's mother answered.

This response resolved another concern in little Fang's heart. Now, she felt relaxed and extremely happy.

After the four daughters-in-law had introduced themselves, it was time for the elders to introduce themselves.

Soon, Zhou Jiajia and the others got to know Lin Yifan's parents, uncle, and aunt.

Now that the bully had been dealt with, it was time for Lin Yifan to heal his parents' wounds.

Thus, he extended his right hand, ready to take his father's pulse.

Seeing Lin Yifan's action, Lin Tianwen curiously asked, "Son, what are you doing?"

In his memory, Lin Yifan was just a simple-minded, physically strong young man; he didn't know anything about the medical practice of taking a pulse. So why suddenly he wanted to take his pulse? This puzzled him greatly.
