After Gu'er and Marina left, Dingzi and the others came out as well.
When they emerged, Grandma Dingzi looked at Marina in a completely new light. Before, she was just a guest, but now, this was her future granddaughter-in-law. She held Marina's hand, repeatedly saying, "Good, good." Whether Marina could understand her or not, she just kept talking to her.
Marina didn't quite understand what the old woman meant, but she could sense her kindness. So, she let Grandma Dingzi hold her hand, listening with a gentle expression as the old woman spoke, nodding and smiling continuously.
'Grandma Dingzi agreed?'
Gu'er hadn't expected this. This wasn't some future era; even in later years, international marriages were still frowned upon. At this time, they were practically unacceptable. 'Why would Grandma Dingzi agree so easily?' She had thought Dingzi and Marina would have to fight a long-term battle. Gu'er didn't understand.
