The Invincible Strongest Student

Liou Qingcheng didn’t rush into the house, instead she smiled and said, "Auntie, we’ve brought some gifts for you and Dad this time, shall we take them inside first?"

"Coming is enough, why bring gifts? Next time, skip the formalities and don’t waste money." Zhang Nianping said this, but her face was full of smiles.

But when Liou Qingcheng opened the trunk and Zhang Nianping saw the big and small bags filled with various products, her mouth instinctively widened. "Isn’t this too much?"

"Not at all, these are all practical items you and Uncle can use." Bai Shishi said cheerfully.

"Why don’t you take some back with you?"

Lin Tian smiled wryly and said, "Mom, just accept them. You can give them bigger red envelopes later."

These words made Zhang Nianping’s heart race; even though she suspected something, hearing it from her son felt unreal.

The "first time visiting" and needing red envelopes, it sounded more and more like a daughter-in-law’s visit.

With mixed feelings, Zhang Nianping grabbed a few bags herself and led the four of them inside. After putting away the big and small bags, she let them sit on the living room sofa and went to the kitchen to take off her apron, then washed two large plates of fruit and brought them out.

The yard dog that had been barking at Bai Shishi before also followed in, wagging its tail. It seemed to know they were guests and became much more docile, charmingly trying to impress.

By this time, Lin Tian had already finished his call with his father, Lin Hao, and was walking toward the house. Zhang Nianping quickly gave him a look, and the two of them walked out into the yard.

Zhang Nianping grabbed Lin Tian’s arm and whispered, "What’s going on between you and those four girls?"

Seeing Zhang Nianping’s stern expression, Lin Tian was all too familiar with it. As a child, whenever he made a mistake, he would immediately concede upon seeing such an expression, or else the consequences would be dire.

Lin Tian glanced at the house but didn’t answer. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Do you like those four girls?"

"Yes, I do." Zhang Nianping replied without hesitation, then felt it was odd, mumbling, "But..."

"As long as you like them, what do you say to having them as daughters-in-law? Are you willing?"

"Of course I’d be willing! You’re lucky enough to marry one, but four... you’re not joking, right?" Zhang Nianping asked softly, still feeling somewhat unreal.

Lin Tian laughed, "I’ve brought them right in front of you, and you still don’t believe it?"

Zhang Nianping’s mouth opened as if to say something, instinctively glancing at the house behind her before speaking, "You better confess, what on earth did you do to win them over? Such elegant girls, all willing to be with you."

"I have no tricks; it’s charisma."

Zhang Nianping glared, saying, "Don’t give me that nonsense. I’m familiar with Qingcheng, Shishi, and Ruyan, but who’s the other girl? I haven’t seen her before."

"Her surname is Xu; she’s Xu Miaoxiu, Ruyan’s elder sister."

"She seems quite extraordinary, can you handle it?"

Lin Tian laughed, "All four of them are extraordinary! Don’t worry, your son’s got plenty of capabilities."

Zhang Nianping grew increasingly uneasy as she listened.

Lin Tian leaned closer to his mother and said, "Actually, apart from introducing them today and letting them meet you and Dad, there’s something else. Shishi is pregnant."

"What?" Zhang Nianping’s eyes widened further, "Pregnant? Really?"

"Would I joke about this?"

Zhang Nianping’s face lit up again with happiness and she urged, "How far along is she?"

"Not long, at most half a month."

"This is a big deal, why are you just telling me now?"

Lin Tian said, "I only found out last night, didn’t tell you because I was afraid you’d be too excited to sleep. So I simply brought everyone over today. Another thing is, if the child is born, and if it’s a boy, he’ll have Shishi’s surname, Bai, as I promised her father."

Hearing the child would have the mother’s surname, Zhang Nianping felt a bit unwilling since it’s her first grandchild. But then she thought, such beautiful girls have humbly joined her son, so maybe giving up the surname isn’t a big deal.

Suddenly, Zhang Nianping thought of something and asked cautiously, "Will you insist on having Qingcheng and their children take their mother’s surname too?"

"No, your son isn’t marrying into another family."

"Then I’m relieved. But I must remind you, even if you’ve succeeded and made a name for yourself now, you can’t become corrupt. Having four wives is already quite extravagant, there can’t be a fifth one later! Understood?"

Seeing his mother’s seriousness, Lin Tian quickly nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, I know."

"Actually, having multiple wives can be a good thing, but don’t let Qingcheng and them down. Plus, I’m worried about your health managing it."

"..."

...

Upon hearing Bai Shishi was carrying the Lin family’s child, Zhang Nianping eagerly returned to the living room, feeling exceptionally pleased at the sight of the four beautiful daughters-in-law.

She chatted with them about daily life, talking mostly about Lin Tian’s amusing childhood stories. Not long after, Lin Tian’s father, Lin Hao, returned.

Lin Hao wore camouflage gear, covered in dirt, even his hair and face weren’t clean. His dark skin tone and bulging muscles showed how hard he worked outside, to carry the burden alone for the family back then.

Walking into the living room, Lin Hao was momentarily stunned to see Liou Qingcheng and the others. Honestly, he wanted to ask his son how he managed to date these ladies, hoping to learn a trick or two...

Of course, these thoughts stayed in his mind. If he really asked, who knows how his son would react, but his wife certainly wouldn’t spare him.

"Hello, Uncle." The four girls stood up simultaneously from the sofa and greeted in unison.

"Alright, alright." Lin Hao waved his hand with a smile, "Sit, make yourselves at home, don’t be shy. I’m covered in dirt and going to change clothes first."

"Let’s eat out for lunch, I’ll change my clothes too." Zhang Nianping said, joining Lin Hao as they headed back to their room, evidently wanting to have private words.

When Lin Tian’s parents left, the four women clearly relaxed.

Mei Ruyan whispered, "Did we do okay just now?"

Lin Tian laughed and said, "More than okay! My mom kept praising you, saying I’m lucky."

"Lin Tian, I feel like Uncle seemed to have a lot on his mind." Bai Shishi commented.

"I felt that too." Miaoqiu echoed.
