Little Aunt, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. She was a businesswoman and was never stingy with anything. She was especially generous and said, "Third Brother, this is what we're giving away. You can't make the decision for Little Six's family. Sister-in-law already said that one can't reject the gifts given by your elders. She has to keep it!"
The imdiate family mbers were all busy. The uncles who ca to pay their respects to Old Master and Matriarch were all busy. They all gave big red packets red. When everyone saw the red packets in their pockets, even the matriarch and old master knew that Little Six's family would be soft-hearted when receiving red packets today.
The house was lively. Everyone was waiting for Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian to co back. They received the notice at 5 am. At 5.30 am, everyone woke up to welco the new couple.
In the car, Ye Jian heard that the elders of the Xia family were in the old residence. Her hand touched the car door lock. Was it too late to run away now?
Everyone was here!
Besides the first uncle's family, the second uncle's family, the youngest uncle's family, and aunt's family, there were also four other families. Ye Jian's vision turned black.
If there were five people in each family, that ant that there were 40 people in eight families! Moreover, there were more than just five people in one family.
Ye Jian said in a trembling voice, "Captain Xia, you really have many relatives." There were too many!
Xia Jinyuan, who had been used to the lively New Year at ho since he was young, comforted Ye Jian, "There are indeed many people at the ancestral ho. I can't even call out the nas of so cousins."
There was no need to ntion the next generation of cousins. He probably didn't know any of their nas.
Ye Jian felt her calves trembling.
The Xia family was indeed a big family. It was so big that she had to shrink back.
How could she not go, however?
"Be good. They've all been waiting for you to go back. You have to go." Xia Jinyuan could tell what his girlfriend was thinking. They were almost at the door of their house. It was too late to regret.
Last night, when he was on the phone with his family, he could vaguely hear many relatives surrounding the matriarch. This morning, he specially called to confirm how many relatives were here. Lieutenant Colonel Xia made up his mind that he couldn't tell his girlfriend imdiately.
Based on his understanding of his girlfriend, if he knew that there were many relatives at ho, she might not even be willing to step out of the Fu family's house.
As long as she showed any signs of not wanting to go out, her future father-in-law would definitely make her stay at ho instead.
Xia Jinyuan knew Ye Jian well. Hence, he didn't tell Ye Jian that he had many relatives until they got into the car.
"Grandpa and Grandma are looking forward to you coming ho with . The last ti, she told that after the new year, I must introduce her favorite granddaughter-in-law to the family. Little fox, you can't bear to disappoint , right?"
Ye Jian could only surrender when Xia Jinyuan ntioned the matriarch.
She didn't insist on going back ho. She was just a little timid. She had already promised the matriarch, and she was so considerate. How could she do sothing to make the matriarch sad?
The car drove past the alley. A few hundred ters further, the high walls of the Xia family's old residence could be seen.
The wide and open vermilion door was already open. A car drove over from the side. The servant who had been guarding imdiately reported.
"They're here, they're here. Hurry up and welco them!" The matriarch, who was sitting in the main hall, was so happy that she got up from the chair. She wanted to welco Ye Jian personally, but Aunt smiled. "Mom, if you go and welco her personally, Little Six's wife will be embarrassed."
"Let them go. They'll all be sisters-in-law in the future. It's good to get to know them early."
