Other than contacting Zhou Mo, who was staying at the prosperity restaurant, Old Master Zhou also asked someone to go around and contact Zhou Lin through the local public phone booth.
“I think you’ve heard about your nephew’s matter recently, right? No matter what? As a junior, he’s going to have a family and set up a business. You’re already so old, yet you’re still hesitating over this marriage. You don’t want this old man to see you get married and then die, right?” When Old Master Zhou spoke, his tone was filled with dignity and anger.
“Dad! You must be joking. How could I? It’s just that Yun Xi isn’t old enough to get married yet. Our country’s new law says that girls can only officially register for marriage when they’re 20 years old. Yun Xi is only 19 years old now. There’s still a year left,” Zhou Lin said over the phone.
His tone was bitter, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.
“Your nephew and that girl aren’t old enough to get married, but the two of them have already found someone to help and can get a marriage certificate. If you want, I can help you with this matter. After all, these rules are dead, but humans are alive.”
Old Master Zhou said over the phone, his voice still carrying some anger, “You can resolve this matter yourself. If you can’t resolve it properly, I will not bother you anymore. I’m really annoyed to death. A girl who wants to marry into the family can’t marry into the family, but a girl we don’t want still married into the Zhou family.
“Dad, big brother’s family is in business after all. They can find people to find connections to deal with this matter, but my profession is still quite special. I don’t want to let others have a say in the future. Not only will it be disadvantageous for me, but it will also be irresponsible for Yun Xi.”
Zhou Lin tried to persuade him over the phone. “Moreover, Yun Xi is still young, and her future is still long. It’s better to wait for her to grow up before considering this matter.”
“She’s still young, but don’t you see how old you are? If you’re not anxious, I’m anxious too. How about this? The two of you don’t have to get married, but at the very least, there will be an engagement ceremony. This will make me feel at ease,” Old Master Zhou said over the phone.
“Okay, our matter is not as urgent as theirs. There’s still a month before the final exam. After the final exam, I will bring your daughter-in-law to attend the engagement ceremony. Is this okay?” Zhou Lin said on the other side of the phone.
“Yes, you’re right. Let’s leave it at that. We can’t push it too hard, or it will backfire. However, you must remember one thing. The two of you must get married as soon as possible. You know I hate people who are inefficient. If you dare to drag it out, I will break your legs,” said Old Master Zhou.
“I know, dad. I’ll take this matter to heart. I won’t delay it any longer.”
“Okay, well, that’s it for now. I’m tired too. Bye!”
“Bye!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Lin revealed a bitter smile. It seemed that he had to bring forward the plan he had prepared.
Zhou Lin dialed a few more numbers from the public phone booth and made several calls to the internal department of the army.
“Deputy Qin, there’s a call for you here.”
Qin Hai felt that it was very strange. He had just spoken on the phone with his mother yesterday, and he did o’t have a girlfriend. Who was calling him anonymously?!
“Hello.”
“Zhou Lin.”
Zhou Lin was still as reticent as ever.
“Captain, if you have something to ask me, just call me directly. Why did you use a public phone to call the army?”
Qin Hai asked with some confusion.
“I’m asking you to do something for me right now. It’s a private matter.”
Zhou Lin briefly explained it over the phone and asked Qin Hai to keep it a secret.
“Alright, captain, I promise you that I will never tell anyone else. But if that’s the case, isn’t the timing a little too urgent?!” Qin Hai said somewhat gloomily.
“I know. That’s why you have to try your best to urge them to hurry up with this matter. After all, our old man is also waiting.”
“Don’t worry, captain. I promise to complete the task.” Qin Hai patted his chest. “Leave this matter to me. I promise to handle it properly for you.”
“Then I’ll hang up first.”
After Zhou Lin hung up the phone, he walked in the direction of the Yun Xi’s house.
