Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 480: The Price of Growing Up

Duan Xiayou and Jin Chunting had worked in the same team. He was a gentle, humble, yet principled veterinarian.

He could bet that even if Jin Chunting was not interested in marriage and was forced into blind dates, he would never make demands like, ’After marriage, you must quit your job to take care of my parents and children, I’ll support you’ or ’This time is an exception, next time don’t choose such an expensive place’ or ’I heard you work at xx unit, coincidentally I have a cousin who...’

While his looks and character were not as good as Jin Chunting, he might surpass Jin Chunting in terms of job position and salary. But despite the high salary, it seems they are not willing to spend it on this young lady, is it?

Duan Xiayou was sincerely puzzled, "What does she, or rather her family, see in these people?"

Ji Zhangzhuo raised an eyebrow, "Good family background, decent jobs."

Jin Chunting’s conditions were definitely not bad in the matchmaking market. However, first, the most influential figure in his family, Old Sir Jin, had already retired. Even if he had connections, they could not compare with a blind date whose parents worked in the relevant unit or had a family business. Secondly, many people indeed looked down on veterinarians.

Duan Xiayou, who was always single, still didn’t understand.

"But I think, among these people, a few don’t quite respect that young lady, with a somewhat superior attitude."

Ji Zhangzhuo laughed, "That’s because their conditions are better than that of the young lady."

Pausing, he put it in terms Duan Xiayou could understand, "Her family wants her to marry up, not down. Of course, I reckon her family’s conditions are similar to Chunting’s family, so it’s not really marrying down."

Hearing it put this way, Duan Xiayou finally understood.

He couldn’t help but recall the social customs of his younger years.

Many minor officials hoped their daughters would marry up, to smooth their own career paths. As a result, many women who married up ended up languishing in the backyard.

Tuanzi couldn’t understand this conversation.

She turned off the video, feeling completely satisfied.

"No matter what that sister thinks, it’s enough that we have the evidence."

She supported respecting Jin Chunting’s choice. Since Jin Chunting was not interested, she wouldn’t need to interact with that sister in the future, and therefore wouldn’t need to know her thoughts.

"Let’s go, let’s go."

She jumped off the bench and dashed forward excitedly, "Let’s go back for a feast!"

Ji Zhangzhuo strode to catch up with her, seeing her grinning from ear to ear, couldn’t help but tease her.

"Little junior sister, how did you get those videos? Haven’t you always been with us?"

Tuanzi froze instantly: "!"

Her little brain started working quickly.

Tuanzi tilted her little face up, showing an adorable smile, "A hacker! Second senior brother, do you know what a hacker is? They can help you with stuff for money, super skilled! Leaves no trace!"

This was an excuse she had coordinated with the system when she had just returned to modern times. This was the first time she used it.

It was her first time using it, not very skillful, her guilty eyes darting around.

Afraid her senior brother would further ask how she contacted a hacker, Tuanzi simply used Qinggong, disappearing like a gust of wind. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Returning to the big uncle’s house, Jin Chunchao hadn’t even prepared the meal.

Thinking for a moment, Tuanzi picked up some fruit and went to visit Mr. Zhao, spending quite some time there, returning in the evening.

Old Sir Jin had already come home, and Jin Jing had also finished work and returned. The only ones who weren’t back yet were Su Ming and Jin Chunting, who were still busy.

"Miaomiao is back," Jin Jing picked her up with a smile, weighing her, "You’ve lost weight, it’s just in time for dinner, let’s eat first."

Tuanzi was quite pleased with the ’lost weight’ comment.

But before eating, she needed to present the evidence.

Jin Jing: "?"

Jin Chunchao briefly explained the situation about the bet.

Glancing at his grandfather, who didn’t look very happy, Jin Chunchao already had a sense of the situation and even planned to take his sister out for a night market stroll as a reward. His sister was not only cute but also capable. He had been too focused on being upset before and hadn’t thought of these solutions, which he still needed to learn.

Jin Jing realized that his niece had come for the sake of his son, feeling a bit ashamed all of a sudden.

Tuanzi, phone in hand, walked courageously up to Old Sir Jin.

This old gentleman who had stormed out earlier seemed to have aged several years upon his return.

Tuanzi carefully examined the wrinkles on his face, seriously said, "It’s okay, growth requires paying a price, change also requires paying a price."

This was her master’s original words, particularly insightful!

Though he seemed to have been hit hard, aging several years, she genuinely hoped that this old gentleman wouldn’t do things that push loved ones away again.

Cousin is such a good person, if the old gentleman doesn’t want him, she’s going to snatch him back home.

Old Sir Jin’s facial muscles twitched a few times.

He didn’t ask Tuanzi and others for the evidence, quietly sharing what he had discovered.

"I found the matchmaker in charge of the introductions and learned about the situation."

Matchmaking had long become a profession. Many matchmakers regarded the single men and women they knew as resources. The better the resources, the more people sought them out, building greater fame and earning more.

The matchmaker who introduced that young lady had plenty of resources. She wasn’t aware of the girl’s family’s and the Jin Family’s affairs. The young lady had good conditions, being generous, naturally introduced many decent single men to her.

When Old Sir Jin approached her, the matchmaker even thought the old man intended to entrust her too.

At this point, what was unclear anymore?

His old friend claimed to have faith in his grandson, but in reality, just wanted him to help forge connections, not really valuing his grandson.

Being backstabbed by a friend was one thing, being looked down on for his grandson was another.

Although he lamented that his grandson hadn’t followed the path he arranged before, going into veterinary medicine, he still believed that the grandson he raised single-handedly was excellent. Forcing him to go on blind dates and marry was because he thought he knew that family well and they wouldn’t harm his overly gentle grandson.

He was helping the future granddaughter-in-law, which was also assisting his grandson and future great-grandchildren. Among his several children, only the eldest son followed the same path. But his eldest son would eventually age and die. Since the future granddaughter-in-law took this path, lending a helping hand could ensure his oldest grandson’s family would last long and prosper.

The old man thought it through very well, but didn’t anticipate that his grandson wasn’t willing at all, even less so that the family he valued was of such nature.

Tuanzi glanced at his somewhat dull face, thought for a moment, and still pulled out her phone.

"This is the surveillance from then, do you want to see it?"

Old Sir Jin waved his hand, already disheartened.

Soon, Jin Chunting returned from work, seeing his sister sitting at the table, he couldn’t help but smile. Upon noticing his grandfather sitting at the head seat, his expression turned somewhat complicated.

Old Sir Jin sluggishly glanced at him, "Don’t worry, I won’t force you to date anymore."

Jin Chunting: "?"

Did he enter the wrong house? Otherwise, was he hallucinating from lack of rest?
