"I'm in the factory every day and barely get any sunlight," Zhao Youwei looked at his arms. It wasn't just Tang Zhengde who said that; everyone who saw him said the same. Zhao Youwei felt helpless. Being a grown man and naturally not dark-skinned, he had now grown noticeably paler, yet he was no pretty boy. "Second Brother, did Zheng Yue ask you to bring anything for me?" Zhao Youwei had been here for half a year, and apart from occasionally calling Tang Zheng Yue, there hadn't been much contact. Each month, Zhao Youwei would send a large portion of his earnings back home, keeping a small portion with him for expenses. "Yes." Tang Zhengde said and immediately handed over some items, mostly food. Tang Zhengde said, "Zheng Yue mentioned that when Xiao Yue gets married, they would come to Jing City." "When is Xiao Yue getting married?" Zhao Youwei asked, looking at Tang Yue in surprise. He knew about the engagement earlier but thought that the man wanted to engage first and didn't expect the marriage to happen so soon. Zhao Youwei looked at Tang Yue and asked subconsciously, "Xiao Yue just turned twenty, right? She must be starting her second year of college soon?" Aren't they waiting for her to graduate from college before getting married? "On the third of next month, they'll first register their marriage," Tang Zhengde explained. "I also didn't want Xiao Yue to get married so early, but... both of them agreed to it, I..." Tang Zhengde felt reluctant to marry off his daughter so soon. Zhao Youwei moved his lips but ended up saying nothing, only commenting, "Xiao Yue, remember to let your uncle know when you register your marriage, although... I don't have much money, it's still a little something." Zhao Youwei was very grateful to Tang Yue. Without her reminder and the collaboration with the furniture factory in Jing City, his family would not be living as comfortably as they are now. "Okay," Tang Yue replied and then slipped into the kitchen under the pretext of being busy. She also felt embarrassed about the rushed marriage. Dinner was prepared by Wei Jiajia and Zhang Hualian. Tang Yue was helping out, and the lavish dinner was ready soon. At the dinner table, besides catching up after a long separation, most of the conversation revolved around Tang Yue's registration of marriage on her 20th birthday in early August. Although Tang Zhengde and his wife were reluctant about Tang Yue marrying so early, she and Mo Siyu had discussed it together, and her parents couldn't refuse. However, the two families hadn't met yet nor discussed the matter. Zhang Hualian felt somewhat uncomfortable about it. Zhang Hualian slept with Tang Yue that night, and the mother-daughter duo had endless conversations. Tang Yue spoke mostly about recent events and did not mention anything about the earthquake, to avoid worrying Zhang Hualian. Zhang Hualian had a lot to say; Wangjiang County was gradually looking more like a county town. Not to mention the new buildings, people were flocking in, and it was evident that Zhenghua Restaurant was benefiting. The business at Zhenghua Restaurant had more than doubled. They had trained two chefs and hired five or six waiters, and of course, the earnings were much higher than before. For this trip Tang Zhengde made to Jing City, if it were in the past, he wouldn't have been able to leave, but now with two chefs and many waiters, he didn't have to worry about the restaurant. Talking of finances, Tang Zhengde asked Tang Zheng Yuan and Zhang Hua Feng to settle the accounts together. Now Zhang Hua Feng's department store had also been moved to the county, and despite it being more strenuous to manage accounts daily, at least it was trustworthy. "Xiao Yue, what about your father-in-law... is he difficult to get along with?" "Your father-in-law's family is said to be very wealthy. What does he think about your marriage?" "Do the people in your father-in-law's family agree?" Since Zhang Hualian learned that Mo Xiaolin had found her husband and that Si Yu's father was from the wealthy Meng Family, could such a well-off family accept them as relatives? Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveI-Fire.ɴet Both Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde couldn't stop worrying. Originally, they planned to delay their trip to Jing City by a few days, but they were so concerned about Tang Yue that they came early. "Mom, Uncle Meng... Si Yu's biological father, he looks stern, but he's actually very nice." Tang Yue explained, "Mom, Si Yu's dad is really nice to me too, and they never said they disapproved." Even though the threshold to the Meng Family was high, Tang Yue believed she was not unworthy of Mo Si Yu. In the future, she would earn a lot more money and stand proudly by Mo Si Yu's side. As Mo Si Yu's status continued to rise in the future, she was determined to make herself good enough. "Have you had a meal together?" Zhang Hualian asked again. Tang Yue meticulously described the details of their meal. Zhang Hualian muttered, "The man is not bad, but, your father-in-law meeting his daughter-in-law for the first time, couldn't he have prepared a welcome gift?" "The thing with your marriage registration, shouldn't the Mo Family come and talk it over with our family first? How can they just casually settle the marriage certificate?" Seeing Tang Yue's expression, Zhang Hualian knew the Meng Family probably didn't provide any welcome gift. Previously, Mo Xiaolin naturally did, but this father-in-law should have at least given a welcome gift to his daughter-in-law, right? Even if it wasn't a welcome gift, at the very least, they should acknowledge the engagement with the Tang Family, right? Zhang Hualian was worried internally. Tang Yue wanted to say something, but Zhang Hualian could refute whatever she said. At the same time that night, Mo Xiaolin and Meng Jin were also discussing the topic. "Brother Jin, when you met Xiao Yue the last time, did you forget to prepare a welcome gift?" Mo Xiaolin was also busy and had just remembered the matter of the welcome gift. She said, "Even though Si Yu hasn't yet officially recognized his heritage, he is still your son, Meng Jin. If a father-in-law meets his daughter-in-law for the first time and approves of her, shouldn't he give a welcome gift?" "Also, Si Yu said he wants to register the marriage on August 3rd, don't you think we should discuss this matter with the Tang Family?" Mo Xiaolin was anxious as the date was approaching August 3rd. Registering the marriage is a big matter. Even though they won't have a banquet for now, the two families should still sit down and talk about this registration, and also plan when to hold the wedding banquet. Young people are full of vigor, and if they end up having a child, others might think Xiao Yue got pregnant before marriage. After all, once you are married, you can't just claim marriage by just pulling someone together; a wedding banquet is different as it signifies officially announcing to all acquaintances. "Actually, yes, I did forget the welcome gift." Meng Jin also realized it belatedly. He wasn't aware of these customs, so when he saw Tang Yue, he didn't think about the welcome gift.
