Chapter 502 Engagement
But now that she was married, she must settle down even when she doesn't want to. After all she was entering the guy's household. Otherwise it would be harming people.
Lin Qing He gave Eldest Sister-in-law a call. She didn't even ask about Zhou Liu Ni. Just talked about Wang Yuan and Zhou Er Ni.
"Her father and I have no objection. It depends on Wang Yuan's side to chose a day." Eldest Sister-in-law grinned.
If they weren't satisfied with a son-in-law like Wang Yuan, then what can satisfy them?
This time, Wang Yuan's performance had eased Eldest Sister-in-law's mind. It had let her know that not all son-in-laws from the capital looked down on the countryside like that nephew-in-law.
In fact, Eldest Sister-in-law didn't think about what kind of accommodation to arrange for Wang Yuan at home.
The room was new and bright. The quilts and bedding were all brand new. In order to welcome him, even the bowls, chopsticks and enamel cups were all replaced with new ones.
She had also asked Zhou Xia to help out and make a new table. None of these can make one feel disgusted.
It was the rural toilet that city folk feared the most. That was why Eldest Brother cleaned it once a day. Using soil to cover it would mostly solve it.
Eldest Sister-in-law creatively made something good to eat every day. Beside three meals a day, there were also various snacks. Eldest Sister had pulled out all her tricks up her sleeve.
s
She didn't have this patience when coaxing her son.
Have to say that this hard work made Wang Yuan have a particularly good impression of this mother-in-law's home.
This time, not only did Zhou Er Ni come back plumper, Wang Yuan as well. After going back for more than 20 days, he gained almost five jins.
It can be seen how good the food was.
And Eldest Sister-in-law was overjoyed to be able to nourish Wang Yuan, a golden and precious son-in-law from the capital, plumper. On top of that, it wasn't hard for Wang Yuan to make some in merry mood when he wanted to.
Didn't he get on Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's good side? They was almost treated him as their grandson.
So one can imagine how happy Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou was after he visited.
Lin Qing He can sense the joy Eldest Sister-in-law exuded over the phone. Then they merrily chatted some more before hanging up.
From the start to the end, Zhou Liu Ni was never brought up.
Wang Yuan came over to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou with three auspicious days. This was what his mother-in-law said. Find the old couple for the date selection.
When the time comes, let them know when to come over for the wedding banquet.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou saw that it was for this, so they were certainly ecstatic.
The three auspicious days were split between March, April, and May.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's thoughts were to set it after the autumn harvest. Out of the whole year in the countryside, one can only have free time after the autumn harvest.
However, Wang Yuan was obviously reluctant to wait that long and these dates were chosen.
He fancied his wife. Although his mother-in-law's family was from the countryside, they were reasonable. In future, they would go back and visit occasionally when they found time. The other issues were basically no problems.
He definitely wanted to marry her back sooner. This way, he could hug his wife to bed earlier, right?
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou called the village. Hearing the time was so rushed, Eldest Sister-in-law immediately laughed.
Wang Yuan had often told her that he wanted to get married earlier.
So Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother discussed and chose April. It won't appear to be so anxious, but it wasn't too push back either. They also took into consideration of son-in-law's anxious to marry their daughter back.
"Marrying in April. This is too soon." Lin Qing He remarked after learning about it.
Wang Yuan was present. He quickly said, "It's not too early. It's a long time until April."
"What I mean is to hold it after the autumn harvest. Only then, it'll be idle. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law can come and stay for a few more days. I didn't expect the date to be so close." Lin Qing He explained.
"That's because my mother-in-law is looking out for me. She knows how much I want to marry." Wang Yuan grinned.
Wang Yuan and Zhou Er Ni's wedding date was set. In April this year. Now they were considered engaged.
Lin Qing He found a time to talk to Zhou Er Ni about work.
Her intention was to ask Zhou Er Ni, when she gets married, would she go to take a position in Wang Yuan's factory.
Zhou Er Ni shook her head: "I'm fine here. I don't plan to go to his factory."
Wang Yuan wanted her to come over and mentioned it to her. But Zhou Er Ni really didn't want to. Of course, it was okay to go there occasionally. But in terms of work, she preferred to be at her fourth aunt's clothing store.
Looking at her attitude, Lin Qing He didn't comment. She just said, "When you get married in the future and you are pregnant, you have to tell me earlier, alright?"
Zhou Er Ni blushed and responded, "Fourth Aunt, it's still early."
"What early? It's only a few months away. It'll pass in a blink of an eye." Lin Qing He said.
She'll marry in April, which was really close. Since Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had discussed it with Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law, there was nothing to say.
When Xu Sheng Mei came to see her grandma, she learned about Zhou Er Ni's engagement with big boss like Wang Yuan and that it was in April of this year.
Her heart felt stifled then.
How can she not feel uncomfortable. There was no way to compare. She tried her best to find a marriage like Zhao Family and had even cause a shameful stir. While Zhou Er Ni silently obtained such a good marriage.
Look at Wang Yuan's attitude towards her, then look at Zhao Jun's attitude towards her. How ambitious was Wang Yuan? While Zhao Jun?
Putting it nicely, he can eat without working. And in more unpleasant way, he was a person who have nothing to do other than eating as he waits for death.
Xu Sheng Mei suffocated from anger. After seeing her grandma, she didn't even come to the dumpling shop. Just went straight back. She didn't return to Zhao's house either. She gone over to the clothing shop she partnered up with Zhang Mei Lian.
When she saw her brother was there, she came in.
Zhang Mei Lian kept a little distance from Xu Sheng Qiang.
"Sheng Mei, how come you're free to come over?" Zhang Mei Lian asked.
"I'm just here to take a look. Qiang Zi, why are you here?" Xu Sheng Mei asked.
"Qiang Zi wants to go set up a stall. So he came over to get the clothes." Zhang Mei Lian answered.
Xu Sheng Mei didn't think too much. She was a little relieved to see her brother grow up so much and said, "Alright then. Take and go to hawking." She didn't want her brother to have so much contact with Zhang Mei Lian.
"I know. Sister, go back first." Xu Sheng Qiang urged.
s
Xu Sheng Mei has been out for some time. It was time to go back, otherwise her mother-in-law will nag again.
As soon as she left, Xu Sheng Qiang pulled Zhang Mei Lian into his embrace again: "Why are you pushing me away as soon as my sister come? You are already my woman."
"Your sister hasn't accepted me yet." Zhang Mei Lian said.
"What does it matter? Once you are pregnant, how can she not agree?" Xu Sheng Qiang responded. He planned to turn the raw rice into mature rice: "But it's been so long, why aren't you pregnant yet?"
