Lin Wan was beside, secretly laughing, unexpected that Grandma’s ability to persuade was indeed impressive.
Grandma thinks it’s best to get married this year. Liang Hongi hesitated for a long ti. Han Yi is a good kid, and their daughter marrying him wouldn’t suffer. It’s really like missing a rare opportunity.
According to Grandma, the army is urging Han Yi to settle his marriage quickly. If they don’t agree, Han Yi might be pressured to find another girl. At that ti, it might really be a missed chance.
It’s rare for soone not to mind their family being outsiders doing business, especially city people. Looking at the elderly today, they’re quite understanding. If the daughter marries over there, frankly speaking, she’s willing.
Thinking over for a while, aside from feeling the daughter is still young and getting married ahead of the son, there’s truly no other issue. Of course, she can’t bear to let her daughter just beco soone else’s.
The daughter has been through so much with her, and now life’s finally good, there’s still ti to let her enjoy it properly.
After much consideration, the only self-comforting thought was that the daughter attending night school shouldn’t face any objection from the groom’s side.
Liang Hongi voiced her concerns to Grandma of the in-laws.
Grandma is open-minded, and moreover, studying is a good thing, she doesn’t oppose it. Additionally, she ntioned the bride price, but Liang Hongi isn’t selling her daughter, so she’s not concerned about it. Seeing Han Yi’s Grandma’s character, it shouldn’t be an issue, "Just follow your local customs. Our Xiao Wan likes to fiddle with clothes, maybe get a sewing machine for them later."
Aunt Jin saw the discussion was nearly settled and quickly interjected, "I think this is done. Xiao Yi is often in the army, with few holidays, why not arrange the marriage during the next holiday?"
"Xiao Wan, do you have any opinions?" Liang Hongi turned to ask her daughter, who shyly replied, "I’ll listen to Mom."
Liang Hongi couldn’t possibly be unaware of her daughter’s thoughts, inwardly thought a grown daughter can’t be kept, reluctantly agreed!
Aunt Jin hurriedly gave the prepared bride price to Liang Hongi. Both families settled it; in August when Han Yi returns, they’ll arrange the wedding.
After concluding the matter, Grandma and Aunt Jin didn’t stay long. They got up and bid farewell. It was too dark, and Liang Hongi initially considered asking Lin Yinghui to take them on a tricycle.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Jin had already ridden a tricycle and was waiting at the door.
After they left, Liang Hongi felt sowhat dazed. Just like that, in such little ti, she gave the daughter she nurtured and cherished for over a decade to others, feeling regretful as she thought about it.
Lin Yinghui always felt it was too hasty. Even if both had no objections, why not wait one or two more years before discussing marriage matters.
His sister hasn’t even had the chance to receive the best from him and she’s hastily married off. Always feels Han Yi got a sweet deal.
Only Lin Wan was feeling delight in her heart.
At night, Liang Hongi held Lin Wan reluctantly, saying a lot. The most talked about was how mischievous and inattentive she was as a child. Suddenly she’s getting married, raising her as soone else’s wife for over a decade. Liang Hongi felt injustice and sighed all night.
Lin Wan, excited inside, cuddled her mom and cald her for a long ti.
The wedding ti is tight, the bride’s family needs to prepare the quilt, clothes for the groom, and clothes for the bride. And also the dowry.
Brother says he’ll buy her a set of furniture and a radio.
Lin Wan only wanted a radio, definitely refusing the furniture.
Liang Hongi disagreed, saying the dowry from the bride’s family is very important. With more dowry, the groom’s family wouldn’t look down on you.
Mom and Brother think of giving her the hot pot restaurant since the good days at ho now are all thanks to Lin Wan leading them. This shop should belong to the daughter.
As soon as Lin Wan heard, she got furious, tossing the book in her hand and said, "Mom, Brother, this store is ours, Lin Family’s. If I get married, I’ll be soone else’s wife. If you give it to , what’s the difference between the shop and soone else’s? Besides, if you give the shop, what will you do?"
"We’ll open another one; besides, isn’t there still the distillery? You’re silly," Lin Yinghui helplessly sighed, ruffling his sister’s hair.
"It’s not that easy to open a store, saying it’s easy doesn’t make it easy. This matter should follow my lead; I say no, so no. Brother, Mom, you know I don’t like running a restaurant. My passion is designing. In the future, I plan to open a fashion factory; these things don’t catch my eye."
"Even if not in your sight, it’s a big deal. Look who doesn’t covet our store. Xiao Wan, you don’t understand, after all, we are outsiders. If there isn’t sothing to hold the façade, Mom’s afraid you’ll suffer in the groom’s family."
"No way, you saw it too didn’t you, Han Yi and Grandma are quite nice. They wouldn’t treat like that."
"The Han family isn’t just those two, aren’t there others?" Liang Hongi furrowed her brow.
"Of course, there will be others. I heard from Han Yi there are two uncles. So, this store can’t be given to . You must keep it."
"Why?" Lin Yinghui didn’t understand.
"People’s hearts are unpredictable; we don’t know what other people think. What if those relatives have ill intentions and want to take over the store? If given to , what’s the difference from giving it to the groom’s family? Therefore, preventing such things, I don’t want anything. Mom, Brother, I’m getting married. You are my support. With the bride’s family being powerful, you won’t be bullied by the groom’s family, so you should manage the restaurant well, make it grow bigger. When the bride’s family has money and power, they’d have to fawn over , right?"
"Yes, yes, Mom understands" Liang Hongi surely knew this truth
Lin Yinghui thought his sister was right. As the brother, he should protect his sister, not letting those at the groom’s family bully her. He’s her reliance, and he needs to be strong.
"Little Sister, this store, Brother will manage for now."
"Hmm hmm, Brother must do well. In the future, when I open the fashion factory, you have to fund ," Lin Wan, seeing she convinced them, laughed and shook her brother’s hand.
"Hmm hmm, Brother will fund you."
Lin Wan nodded with a smile, but her mom and brother’s preparations like the bicycle weren’t postponed in the end.
Liang Hongi specially inford Grandma Wang, Zhang Shuhua, and others for a day’s rest.
