I have to say, his mom is quite scatter-brained, only now realizing it. On the other hand, it shows that Shen Yi’s parents are probably really anxious.
Otherwise, why would they take the initiative to chat with his mom?
Regarding his mom saying she wants to settle the engagent this year, Shen’s mom is naturally very willing. Her attitude is resolute, her actions decisive, even making Zhou Hui, the little old lady who wants to have grandchildren, a bit uneasy, fearing she might encounter a scam.
After all, who wouldn’t want a bride price and even give his family a million!
Of course, it’s reasonable since their family only recently beca wealthy. It’s not just Su Qing; even his family’s mindset hasn’t changed.
For people like Shen Yi and him, with their kind of wealth, bride price and such aren’t necessary.
Shen’s mom understands Su Qing’s situation through her daughter, knowing they aren’t short on money. The one million is just a gesture, symbolic. In truth, neither Shen Yi nor Su Qing lacks this million; this money is simply a gift from Shen’s parents to their daughter.
As for not needing a bride price, it basically ans the groom’s family can give whatever they want; it doesn’t matter. After all, the money eventually goes to the kids.
If Su Qing really was nothing, just an ordinary person earning three thousand a month with unstable work, do you think Shen’s mom’s attitude would be the sa?
People won’t just sell a good cabbage rotting in the field at a loss.
"Today is a good day, things you wish for..."
In the evening, hearing his wife humming a tune in the kitchen, old Su returned from a small gathering, sowhat puzzled.
"What’s wrong with your mom?"
"Dad, Mom said she’s already discussed the wedding with my sister-in-law’s parents!" Su He sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding her phone horizontally, playing PUBG. Her small hands left blurry trails on the screen as the character inside the ga jumped left and right, dodging bullets.
Upon hearing this, old Su’s eyes widened in shock and he exclaid, "What? Your mom settled the marriage over the phone?"
"Why are you yelling so loud? Isn’t it fine?" At this mont, Zhou Hui walked out with a plate of washed strawberries, speaking proudly.
Usually, although she had the most say at ho, when it ca to serious matters, old Su would make more decisions. But today, Zhou Hui felt incredibly proud for getting her son’s marriage arranged. She thought of herself as electrifying, radiant, the only myth in the family.
"But why didn’t you call for such a big matter?" Old Su said, a bit anxious.
His son’s engagent was such a big deal, yet as a father he wasn’t there. Isn’t that quite rude?
Even if it was over the phone, it wouldn’t do.
However, Zhou Hui didn’t take it seriously, "What’s the big deal? I was just casually chatting. Besides, Little Yi’s dad wasn’t there either."
Hearing this, Old Su instinctively felt sothing was off, "Her dad wasn’t there? Just the two of you discussed it?"
"Yeah! What’s the matter?"
"Nothing, have you discussed when the engagent is? We should pay them a visit, right?" Old Su asked.
Zhou Hui shook her head, "We haven’t discussed when to get engaged. Just thinking about setting things for the kids this year first. We can talk about the wedding later."
Old Su: ...
Is this what you call an engagent? Earlier, Su He said her mom sorted out his son’s marriage. That startled him; turns out, it just ant both parents have no objections, and they’ll et another ti. He thought it was settled!
"Be clear with your words next ti, don’t scare people like that," old Su patted his chest, indicating his age couldn’t handle it.
No matter what, Zhou Hui remained quite satisfied, feeling that her son’s side was all set. Even if they can’t marry this year, at most next year they can. It’s a happy prospect anyway.
anwhile, in the bedroom, Su Qing was also on a video call with Shen Yi.
"It’s all your fault. Now my mom wants to marry off quickly," in the video, Shen Yi said, puffing her cheeks angrily. Her face, filled with mature charm and sexiness, appeared sowhat coquettish, very endearing.
"Hey, no big deal. At worst, we’ll get married. It’s bound to happen sooner or later," Su Qing chuckled.
"Bah, who said it’s bound to be with you? I might find a handso guy tomorrow."
"Hey, then I’ll just find Sister Nan."
"Why find her? Is she prettier than ?"
"She knows more girls."
"Get lost!"
Shen Yi was irritated by him, glaring at him once, and then sighed, "My mom wanted to go to Jiang City after the New Year. I managed to stop her. You won’t bla , will you?"
Su Qing shook his head, "No, don’t worry. As for our matter, I still think it’s best to let it happen naturally. If we both feel it’s ti to marry, we’ll inform them, and then both families can et."
Hearing this, Shen Yi couldn’t help but sigh in relief. In her heart, even though she liked this little brother a lot, dating was dating, and marriage was sothing else. She wasn’t ready for marriage yet.
If both families t and set a wedding date, then it would really be on the agenda. She liked to do things at her own pace, not being pushed into it.
"And about Auntie... I noticed Auntie seed..." Shen Yi started again.
After all, Su Qing’s mom’s surprised look at the ti wasn’t fake. She was afraid if there was no news from her side, Su Qing’s mom would feel sad.
"Don’t worry. I know my mom well. As long as she knows Uncle and Aunt agree with us, she’s at ease. Besides, I always felt that we would eventually be together, after all, since I am the little brother, right, Aunt... Shen? Haha," Su Qing laughed.
As he said, for Zhou Hui, as long as it’s plausible, the exact date doesn’t matter. She truly doesn’t have much fixation on when the marriage should be set.
And Shen Yi, being much older than him, wouldn’t possibly delay for many years. It would either be this year or next, and he was confident about that, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
Unless there was a crisis in their relationship due to argunts or disagreents on certain matters, which is unavoidable and would rely entirely on their managent, so worrying is useless.
Hearing him, Shen Yi gave him a glare. They both agreed to contact each other more in the future, especially when video calling, to keep things private from their family elders; otherwise, it really couldn’t be endured.
In the evening, the four of them sat together for dinner. Today, old Su did the cooking, preparing a few hearty dishes.
They didn’t have too many restrictions for New Year als; it wasn’t necessary to have chicken or fish, just whatever they liked to eat. They didn’t make a whole table of a dozen dishes just to avoid waste, and mainly to avoid leftovers. If they were lazy, they’d eat New Year’s Eve dinner outside, let alone regular als.
At the dinner table, mom Zhou Hui kept talking about Su Qing’s and Shen Yi’s engagent, planning for engagent this year, wedding by year-end, and pregnancy next year. Everything was neatly laid out.
"Hey? His dad, do you think I should buy so children’s clothes in advance?"
"Nah, you don’t have to bother. The character for the surna hasn’t even been written yet!"
"How is it not? I’ve already written the stroke!"
Hearing this, Su Qing and Su He both sighed. Indeed, there’s never peace in this house, it’s like the winds have turned, urging the household to quickly go bankrupt!
Just then, Su Qing’s phone beeped. He picked it up and was surprised. It was Daqiang, his ssage was simple, asking if Su Qing was there.
Su Qing was quite shocked at Daqiang’s sudden appearance after disappearing and imdiately called him back.
"Hey? Daqiang? Where have you been all this ti? Where are you?"
There was silence from the other end.
"Hello? Can you hear ? Hello?" Su Qing checked his phone to confirm the call was connected.
After a long pause, Daqiang’s voice ca through, but it was particularly hoarse:
"Qingzi, I’m downstairs at your place!"
[At an age of achieving nothing, being powerless when one’s parents need them, Ding Qiang felt deeply ashad, but he still ca to see you.]
