In the early 1980s, Jiang Moli discovers she has transmigrated into a novel. The reborn female lead is on the verge of divorce, and Jiang Moli's sister, Jiang Yuqin, insists on becoming a stepm...
Chapter 68: Getting a certificate is not about thieves stealing it, but about thieves thinking about it
"You're crazy!" Jiang's mother felt the words were fake. "Do you think your son is so popular that everyone should like him? The men he hangs out with are fine, but how many of the women haven't you criticized? And now, just because our Jasmine hasn't gotten a marriage certificate, you're targeting her?"
"If she wasn't eyeing our Shi Nan and wasn't flirting with our Shi Nan, why hasn't she gotten married yet?" Shi's mother felt that her reason was tenable.
"If you're mentally ill, go to the hospital," Jiang's mother said. "Jiahao is so much better than your son. He's a boss, has a car, and a driver. Does your son have that? Has your son bought a house? Does he have a car? What a piece of rubbish! How dare he compare himself to my future son-in-law? What kind of university did your son go to? Don't you know? The university your son went to isn't even as good as Jiahao's!"
Jiang's mother felt that she was giving too much face to Shi's mother, which led to Shi's mother coming over and saying something.
"I trust my daughter. She wouldn't be two-timing. Your son isn't qualified," Jiang's mother said. "You always say my daughter didn't go to college. Yes, she didn't. But she's a talented singer. She often performs in the capital, across the country, and even on television. More people must know my daughter than your son."
"What's the use of this..."
"Why is it useless? My daughter is just more famous than your son!" Jiang's mother said. "She has so many admirers. I don't even like to talk about it. So many people came to support my daughter's performances. Even those big bosses went to watch. Besides Jiahao, there are many other people who like her and want to pursue her. My daughter didn't even agree, so who does your son think he is? Does he think he's so great just because he graduated from college? He just started working, how much can he earn? A piece of clothing my future son-in-law bought for my daughter costs more than your son's monthly salary? Haha, it's ridiculous. You always think people are staring at your son."
Jiang's mother sneered. She didn't take Shi's mother seriously. "Before, since we were neighbors, I didn't say much. But now, you come and say this, it's terrible. You've said this to so many girls on our street, and even their parents. No one has their eyes on your son, and no one wants to be with him. If you keep this up, when your son gets a wife in the future, you'll scold her and she'll run away too!"
"Impossible, my daughter-in-law will be a college student, will be..."
"We don't care what your daughter-in-law looks like," said Jiang's mother. "Whether she's a white swan or a wild duck by the roadside, that's your family's business. Don't say this in front of us. The neighbors are here, everyone listen carefully. Even if my daughter Jiang Moli didn't marry her fiancé, she would never marry Shi Nan in her life, even if she died!"
When Jiang's mother made her statement, Fan Xiaoxue's biological mother heard it and thought of what had happened to her daughter. Shi's mother had come to her and said that she felt very ashamed and that she had told her daughter to stay away from Shi Nan and not to offend her.
"That's right." Fan's mother said, "So what if Shi Nan is a college student? He still needs food and shelter."
Shi's mother glared fiercely, and Fan's mother flinched a little, but she continued, "Before our Xiaoxue got married, you said the same thing about her, saying that she was eyeing your precious son. That's not the case with our Xiaoxue, that's not the case with her."
When Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao returned to the Jiang family, they heard Jiang's mother angrily saying what Shi's mother said, and Jiang Moli and the others were also angry.
"Shi Nan is such a useless person. He came to my workplace to look for me and even made my family get scolded." Jiang Moli said, "Mom, you don't know. Shi Nan said he liked me a long time ago. He didn't contact me much because he was afraid his mother would embarrass me. He would wait until he graduated from university and got a job before he could come look for me. He himself doesn't have the ability to stay in the capital, and he still said he came to South City for me. It's really hateful, extremely hateful."
"Yes, it's very hateful." Jiang's mother nodded. "Next time, don't see him."
"How could I have known he would say such a thing?" Jiang Moli said, "If I had known earlier, I would never have met him.
"Auntie, Jasmine and I have decided to get our marriage certificate." Sheng Jiahao spoke up. This thing had to be said.
"That's right, that's right." Jiang Moli said, "It's not because of Shi Nan and the others, but it's really time for us to get the marriage certificate. It will save trouble if we get it sooner."
"Okay." Jiang's mother said.
"After getting the marriage certificate, we still need to hold a wedding banquet." Jiang Moli said, "Mom, please discuss this with the teacher."
"That's not a big deal." Jiang's mother asked, "Where will you live after you get married?"
"We plan to live here first, is that okay?" Sheng Jiahao asked.
"Yes, of course, absolutely." Jiang's mother said quickly, "If Jasmine moves out, we old couple will be very lonely. It would be the best thing for you to live here. But...will your parents agree?"
"They agreed." Sheng Jiahao said.
"We don't want you to marry into our family. It's just a normal marriage." Jiang's mother said.
"I still have my eldest brother, so it doesn't matter whether I marry into her family or not." Sheng Jiahao understood what Jiang's mother meant. "I just want to spend more time with Jasmine. Jasmine can live wherever she feels comfortable. I've also prepared the wedding room. I'll take you there to see it someday so we can buy some furniture. We can move back and forth between here and there. Wherever Jasmine lives, I'll live there too."
Sheng Jiahao was afraid that the Jiang family would think he hadn't prepared a house for his wedding, so he had already done so. In addition to the house he currently lived in, he bought another house. It was a small Western-style building with a large courtyard. The courtyard was quite spacious, with large front and back yards.
In that case, it would be better for Jiang Moli to practice her voice at home so as not to disturb others too much.
"That house is closer to Jasmine's theater, but it's not too far from here or my parents' house," Sheng Jiahao said. "Jasmine sometimes performs late at night, so it would be nice to have a house there."
"Indeed." Jiang's mother said, "Let's go check it out some other day."
Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Moli and asked, "Have you been there?"
"Jasmine hasn't been there yet." Sheng Jiahao said, "I originally thought of keeping this house as a reserve, and then when Jasmine has time, we'll go and see it. If Jasmine doesn't like this house, we can buy another one."
Sheng Jiahao wanted to give Jiang Moli a surprise, not that he didn't want Jiang Moli to choose. Sheng Jiahao also thought that if Moli didn't like it, he had money in his hands. It was just one house, and he could buy a few more.
"I told you that you're much better than Shi Nan," Jiang's mother said. "If Shi Nan gets married, he'll have to live with his parents. Otherwise, he'll have to rent a house outside. Of course, if his parents are willing to buy him a house, he can use it, but it's not certain who the house belongs to. With someone like Shi Nan's mother, she'll definitely make trouble and won't let her son and daughter-in-law live a good life."
"Mom, don't talk about them," Jiang Moli said. "If they say it again next time, just refute them. They are so shameless. Don't they want to live on this street anymore? Many people know what they are like. They have a college student in their family, so they are so proud of it. They show off all day long."
Jiang Moli really didn't know what was so good about showing off. It would be fine if she showed off once or twice, but she kept showing off. Even now, Shi's mother still felt that others were thinking about Shi Nan.
Fan Xiaoxue and the others had obtained their marriage certificates, but Jiang Moli hadn't yet, so Shi's mother kept staring at Jiang Moli.
"Those people really are. When they saw Shi Nan coming to see you, they started talking nonsense over there." Jiang's mother said, "That's your unit, not Shi Nan's."
"They are just frogs in a well," Jiang Moli said. "They see a little bit and think it's everything. Mom, don't be angry with them. There's nothing to be angry about. Don't let anger ruin your health."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Jiang's mother said.
During dinner, when Jiang's father learned that Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao were going to get married, he was stunned for a while. Sheng Jiahao did not eat at the Jiang family's house, he went back to the Sheng family's house. Sheng Jiahao wanted to tell his parents about getting a marriage certificate and about the wedding house.
"I told Auntie that after Jasmine and I get married, we'll live with them first," Sheng Jiahao said. "Today, one of their neighbors went to see Jasmine and confessed his love to her. He even went up to Auntie and made a scene."
"How could this happen?" Teacher Lu found it unbelievable.
"That guy graduated from university in the capital," Sheng Jiahao said. "I heard that when he was in high school, his mother forbade him from interacting with his street friends. When he got into university, his mother thought all the young women were missing her son. He went to confess his love to Jasmine, and someone he knew saw him, and that's when his mother heard about it."
"They said there was something wrong with his brain?" asked Teacher Lu.
"I'm not sure, maybe." Sheng Jiahao said, "Moli and I both think it's better to get the marriage certificate sooner rather than later to avoid these messy people coming out."
"Yes, we need to get the marriage certificate." Teacher Lu nodded. "Those people have such dirty thoughts. Jasmine, there are so many people who like her and pursue her. You are just lucky to have won her over. If it weren't for you, Jasmine would have no shortage of excellent suitors."
"Of course, Jasmine is very good." Sheng Jiahao recognized Jiang Moli's ability. It was impossible for him to think that Jiang Moli was not good just because she was an opera singer.
Afterwards, the Jiang and Sheng families spent a day searching for their spouses. The elders from both families gathered to discuss Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao's wedding banquet. Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao would get their marriage certificate first, and the wedding banquet would be held after National Day. Since it was now July, both families had time to make arrangements.
After the discussion, everyone had dinner and went to see the building again. The building was three and a half stories high and the decoration inside was relatively old, so Sheng Jiahao had someone redo the hard decoration.
"It's just a simple renovation," Sheng Jiahao said. "The furniture and other things also need to be re-purchased, depending on Jasmine's preferences."
The original owner of this house was abroad. After the special period, the house returned to the original owner. The original owner sold the house and Sheng Jiahao bought this house.
When Sheng Jiahao was preparing to simply decorate the house, he asked Jiang Moli what she liked. Jiang Moli said simple, no fancy things. Then, Sheng Jiahao asked someone to simply decorate the house.
It was said to be a simple decoration, but when Jiang Moli saw the chandeliers and other things, she wondered how it could be a simple decoration. The carpet on the floor was new, the sofa was new, and many things were brand new. Jiang Moli looked at Sheng Jiahao.
"These things can be placed in other empty rooms." Sheng Jiahao said, "They can also be placed in the study."
Sheng Jiahao thought it would be better to put some things in the living room first so that everyone would have a place to sit when they came over. Otherwise, it would be very tiring for everyone to stand like that.
"I've had people take care of the flowers and plants outside," Sheng Jiahao said. "It's hot, so they need to be watered every day."
"It's pretty good." Jiang Moli said.
"Such a big house with so many rooms." Jiang's mother sighed.
"You can all live here from now on," Sheng Jiahao said. "There are more rooms and several floors. You don't have to worry about disturbing each other. There's plenty of space."
Sheng Jiahao deliberately bought a larger house. He thought that Jiang Moli was the only daughter of Jiang's father, and Jiang's mother and father would want to be closer to Jiang Moli. Perhaps Jiang Moli would also want to live with Jiang's father and mother. Sheng Jiahao could indeed live in the Jiang family's side. As a grown man, there was nothing to be uncomfortable about. The house here also had to be prepared.
"Well, it will be convenient when you have children in the future." Jiang's mother said.
"Let's go upstairs and take a look." Teacher Lu said to Jiang's mother with a smile. "Come to think of it, I haven't even been to this house yet. I only know that he bought a new one. He wanted to give Jasmine a surprise, and he didn't even let us see it first."
"Look, look now." Jiang's mother said.
Jiang's father and Sheng's father walked behind Jiang's mother and Teacher Lu, and they went upstairs together. Many of the rooms upstairs were empty, no one lived there.
Except for the fact that it's difficult to meet neighbors here, everything else is pretty good.
Jiang's mother thought about Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao saying they would live at the Jiang family's house later. She thought they didn't have to live there at all; occasionally staying there would be fine. It wasn't that the people on the street were bad, but some people just couldn't stand seeing others do well. If things really didn't work out, Jiang's mother thought she and Jiang's father could move in. She could still grow vegetables in the yard, and if she wanted to hang out with friends, she could go find them; the transportation was still very convenient.
"The house is empty, so we need to buy some furniture," Jiang's mother said. "Logically speaking, since you bought such a big house, the girl's family should buy more furniture, but..."
"You don't have to buy it. Let Jiahao do it and use his money," Teacher Lu said quickly. "He earns so much money just to spend on his wife. If we don't let him spend it now, when will he spend it? There are so many rooms here. You and your wife can have one, and we can have one. We can go look at furniture together according to our own preferences, and Jiahao will pay. Later, we can live here too. Don't worry about the inconvenience. It's just like... like living in a tube-shaped building."
"Yes, yes, yes." After hearing Teacher Lu's explanation, Jiang's mother thought it was indeed a good idea.
"Your husband and Jasmine are your only daughters, so it's convenient for you to live with Jasmine," Teacher Lu said. "You can take care of Jasmine, and you won't have to worry about her being bullied. We old couple have other children, and I'm still teaching at school, so I still prefer to live where I am now."
Teacher Lu's meaning was very clear. She and her husband would not live with Sheng Jiahao for a long time. Jiang's mother and father could live with Sheng Jiahao and his wife for a long time. There was no problem at all. The Sheng family would not think that the Jiang family was wrong to do so. Jiang Moli often had to go to perform, and with her biological parents by her side, Jiang Moli would be much happier.
Women are different from men. Women are more emotional and want to spend more time with their families.
When Teacher Lu thought about when she was practicing singing opera, she just wanted to have her family around her.
"You can come over more often." Jiang's mother said.
"It's settled. We'll go pick out furniture together some other day," Teacher Lu said. "Young people like these have their own hobbies. We won't get involved with them. We'll choose the furniture for our own room."
"Okay." Jiang's mother nodded.
Jiang's mother was chatting and laughing with Teacher Lu, but Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao were not with the four elderly people.
Jiang Moli went to the backyard. It was very big and had big trees. She liked this kind of environment very much. The Jiang family lived in a large courtyard with many families living in it. If there was a little noise, everyone would hear it easily. Jiang Moli sometimes didn't like that. If others quarreled in the middle of the night, they would have to listen to them and couldn't rest well.
It is better to listen to gossip before you fall asleep. Don’t listen to it after you fall asleep.
Those people didn't care whether others were asleep or not when they quarreled. They would just quarrel whenever they wanted. Especially Miao Guifeng and the Yang family, they quarreled frequently, sometimes in the middle of the night, waking up everyone else.
"How did you know I would like a house like this?" Jiang Moli asked, "I didn't even tell you specifically."
"You don't have to say it specifically, I can hear it." Sheng Jiahao said. Sometimes Jiang Moli would just simply say what she liked, and Sheng Jiahao would write it down.
Sheng Jiahao really likes Jiang Moli. He doesn't think of perfunctorily treating her. Only love that is mutually devoted can last. Although Jiang Moli doesn't seem to do anything and is often busy, she will remember what he likes to eat and will happily hold his hand. When he is sick, she will touch his head and whisper to him about his concern. These things are all very detailed and are in daily life.
"If you don't have so much money, how would you buy it?" Jiang Moli asked.
"Then work hard to make money. Even if you can't afford it now, you will be able to afford it one day in the future," said Sheng Jiahao.
"There will come a day in the future... drawing cakes to appease hunger is not very good." Jiang Moli said, "Let's just focus on the present. Whatever we have will determine the life we live. I don't have to work too hard, and neither do you."
"Okay." Sheng Jiahao held Jiang Moli's hand tightly.
Jiang Moli smiled at Sheng Jiahao, the golden sunlight sprinkled on Jiang Moli's long hair, and Jiang Moli leaned on Sheng Jiahao's shoulder.
Sheng Jiahao was thinking that they could plant a patch of jasmine in the backyard, or other flowers, as long as Jiang Moli liked it. If Jiang Moli knew what Sheng Jiahao was thinking, she would say that they should plant more flowers in the front yard so that others would pass by and see them, and in the backyard, it would not matter if they only planted a patch of green onions.
After Shi Nan learned that his mother had gone to Jiang's mother to make a scene, he returned home.
"Mom, it's me who likes Jasmine, not Jasmine who likes me. She rejected me." Shi Nan was irritated. "Can you please stop causing trouble for others without knowing the truth? Isn't this making people laugh at you?"
"I did that for you." Shi's mother said, "Why don't you like anyone else? Why do you like Jiang Moli? She's just an actor, a low-class person..."
"Mom, this is a new society. There's nothing wrong with people singing opera. They also have a busy job." Shi Nan said, "If you keep saying that, others will think you're ignorant."
"You're in college now, working, and you're already blaming your mother?" Shi's mother was furious. "What's so good about Jiang Moli? Why do you have to like her? She must have known you had a promising future and seduced you early on. She knew I wouldn't allow you two to be together, so she went looking for someone else. She..."
"She didn't seduce me, really." Shi Nan felt ridiculous. He had thought that as long as he got a job, he could decide these things on his own, but in the end, he still couldn't make a decision. "Moli has been beautiful since she was a child. I'm not the only one who likes her. Many people like her very much. I was the one who confessed to her, not..."
"Shi Nan!" Shi's mother interrupted Shi Nan, "Remember, you are not confessing to her that you don't like her. You don't like her at all, understand?"
"I……"
"Jiang Moli, who didn't even finish high school, doesn't deserve your love," Shi's mother said. "You should find someone who also graduated from college in the future, understand? You have such a good job now, Jiang Moli and the others are just jealous of you."
"..." Shi Nan looked at his mother speechlessly, "Mom, you don't really think that Jasmine doesn't make as much money as I do, do you?"
“Isn’t it?” Shi Mu frowned.
"I don't earn as much as she does." Shi Nan said, "Moli is already a leader in the industry. She has become the new pillar of the company."
"They're also actors," Shi's mother said. "Don't try to fool me. Do you really think I know nothing? If performing opera was really that profitable, the opera troupes in ancient times wouldn't have been so miserable."
Shi Nan didn't want to talk much. No matter what he said, it was useless. His mother just believed that Jiang Moli was terrible. He also blamed himself for being cowardly. If he could have stood up to his mother, if he could have confessed his feelings to Jiang Moli earlier, perhaps things would not have turned out like this.
"Shi Nan, listen to what your mother says. You graduated from a university, such a good one, so you won't have to worry about finding a good partner in the future." Shi's mother said, "Even before you graduated, many people asked me to introduce you to someone, but I refused. If the person they introduced was not good, I would not let them come to you."
Shi's mother wanted Shi Nan to find a very good partner, preferably a female college student with a good family background. Only someone with a good family background could help Shi Nan.
What happened at Shi Nan's home hadn't reached his workplace. After all, his workplace was quite a distance away from this street, and no one from this street worked at the Development Zone's investment promotion office. Even if someone worked at the factory in the Development Zone, they weren't in the same workplace as Shi Nan, so naturally, they wouldn't go to Shi Nan's workplace and talk nonsense.
The male friends on the same street who used to be close to Shi Nan no longer approached her. After they learned about what Shi's mother had done, they were also speechless.
Fan Xiaoxue was at home, and she sighed when she talked to her husband Shi Kaihua about her mother's trouble.
"I got the marriage certificate with you, that's why I'm not being watched all the time." Fan Xiaoxue said, "Those who are not married are being watched by Shi Nan's mother. The girls on our street all get married so early, and it's also because of Shi Nan's mother. I really don't know what his mother is thinking. Does she really think that all of us are watching Shi Nan alone? Jasmine is also unlucky. She already has a fiancé, and Shi Nan still went to confess his love to her. Isn't this just a trap for Jasmine?"
"Maybe he's just unwilling to accept it." Shi Kaihua said.
"Why should he be so unwilling?" Fan Xiaoxue sneered. "He and Jasmine grew up with us. If he liked Jasmine, he should have confessed to her long ago, instead of waiting until she had a partner before saying those words. He knew clearly that his mother would never be satisfied with Jasmine, but he still insisted on confessing his feelings to her, causing her to be scolded by his mother. Does he like Jasmine? I don't think he is sincere at all."
"Are you turning love into hate?" Shi Kaihua asked.
"Bullshit!" Fan Xiaoxue said, "I haven't loved him for a long time. Didn't I tell you that a long time ago? Shi Nan is not a good person at all. He is a hypocrite. Shi Nan didn't say anything and didn't do anything. He just deceived us. What do we owe him? Just because we grew up with him, we have to be embarrassed by his mother?"
"Don't be angry." Shi Kaihua said.
"Do you still want to be friends with Shi Nan?" Fan Xiaoxue said, "Don't treat him as your friend. He looks down on you from the bottom of his heart. He has a good job now. How can he still treat you as a good friend or a good brother?"
Fan Xiaoxue wished that Shi Kaihua would stop associating with Shi Nan. Shi Nan worked in the development zone. Shi Kaihua had no money and no ability, so it was impossible for Shi Nan to help Shi Kaihua.
"It's okay, I'm not a woman..."
"Whether you're a man or not is unimportant. What's important is that you didn't go to college, so you can't help Shi Nan." Fan Xiaoxue said, "Do you want Shi Nan's mother to come find you and tell you that you're not worthy of being her son's dog?"
Yes, it was a dog. Fan Xiaoxue once talked to Jiang Moli about Shi Nan, and Jiang Moli said that they were not the Shi family's dogs and they would not listen to the Shi family. They did not get close to Shi Nan, not because they listened to the Shi family, but because they felt disgusted and felt that Shi Nan was not suitable to be their friend.
"Shi Kaihua, have some shame and don't wait for someone to come to our house and tell us." Fan Xiaoxue said, "I think Shi Nan's mother is a little paranoid."
"Okay, have some shame, have some shame." Shi Kaihua said.
Shi Kaihua still wanted to get closer to Shi Nan, to see what he could do to make money, and to see if Shi Nan could help him make money. Shi Kaihua thought that Shi Nan was a college graduate, had been to a big city, and had lived in the capital, so Shi Nan must know more.
As soon as Fan Xiaoxue saw her man, she knew that he was just being perfunctory with her. Fan Xiaoxue snorted and said nothing more. When her husband got cheated, he would know how to regret it. Shi Nan was a heartless person.
The Jiang family and the Sheng family looked at houses together. When Jiang Moli learned that the elders of the two families were going to choose furniture together, she said, "I want something younger."
"You and Jiahao, go and choose yourselves," Jiang's mother said. "We'll choose ours, and you choose yours."
"Ah?" Jiang Moli blinked, surprised. "Aren't you the ones who choose for us?"
"You're already a grown-up, choose for yourself," Jiang's mother said. "If we choose and you don't like it, how can we help you choose? Choose for yourself, choose for yourself."
"Okay." Jiang Moli shrugged. "I originally thought that if you could help us choose, we could save some time."
"It's you who are getting married, not us," said Jiang's mother.
"Your mother is right. You have to choose for yourselves," said Teacher Lu.
Jiang Moli suddenly thought of a satirical short story she had seen in her previous life. It was about a mama's boy and a mama's girl going on a blind date. No, one was a daddy's boy and the other was a mama's boy. Then, all matters were handled by the elders. In the end, it became just the two old people getting along while the two young people separated, saying that if there were any issues, the elders would convey them. When Jiang Moli saw this short film, she subconsciously thought that this was a single mother with a child, a single father with a child, were the parents going to get married?
Uh, no, no, Jiang Moli shook her head quickly.
"Choose for yourself." Jiang's mother saw Jiang Moli shaking her head, "Don't count on us."
Jiang Moli pouted and said, "If you don't expect it, then don't expect it." She turned to look at Sheng Jiahao.
"Let's go choose together." Sheng Jiahao said, "Pick what you like."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded, "Pick the one you like too."
In the evening, the two families had dinner together again. Sheng Jiahao sent the Jiang family back before leaving.
Jiang Moli sat in the living room with her parents, watching TV, the fan whirring. Jiang Moli's room also had a fan, so it was relatively cool. Perhaps because there weren't as many air conditioners back then, the temperature outside didn't seem very high.
"I think the house over there is pretty good, it's much better than ours. But you let Jiahao live here. Isn't that like living in a chicken coop when you can't live in your own home?" Jiang's mother said.
"Mom." Jiang Moli didn't expect her mother to say that. When she thought about it carefully, there were many better houses over there.
"It's better for you to live over there after you get married," Jiang's mother said. "You'd better not live over here and have to listen to other people quarreling and talking bad about you."
"But I want to live with you and my parents. How about this, you move over too, and we can live together." Jiang Moli said, "Let's rent out the house here."
Jiang Moli didn't say she would let Zhao Guodong live in the house. That was impossible. It was Jiang's father's house. Jiang's father would definitely not let Zhao Guodong live in it, not even for rent. He was afraid that it would be difficult to explain later and that Zhao Guodong and his wife would have other ideas.
"You really are thoughtful." Jiang's mother said.
"Dad, do you think this is a good idea?" Jiang Moli asked, "If we all live over there, we won't always run into Jiang Yuqin when we go shopping. I hate her and really don't want to see her outside all the time."
Jiang Moli believed that her father was the same. Although few people now said that Jiang Yuqin was not Jiang's father's biological daughter, others still looked at Jiang's father differently. Jiang Moli thought it would be better for the three of them to move in, and if Niu Cuihua and her husband wanted to sell tofu here, they would sell it.
"We're neighbors. If you want to come over and play, you can come over." Jiang Moli said, "You can also meet new neighbors over there."
"The house over there is so big and quite far away. How many neighbors can you know?" asked Jiang's mother.
"You have friends. You can invite them to your home and have afternoon tea together." Jiang Moli said, "In the future, you can grow vegetables directly in the backyard. You don't need to use pots to grow vegetables there. It's so convenient."
When looking at houses today, Jiang Moli wanted to give up living in such a big house and insisted on living in a small house. Is there something wrong with her brain?
It doesn’t matter if the house is difficult to live in while it is being renovated, but once it is completed, you still have to live in it.
"Dad, Mom, is it possible?" Jiang Moli sat next to Jiang's mother, "We can all live together."
"Yes, why not?" Jiang's mother glanced at Jiang's father. Jiang's father didn't say anything, but Jiang's mother and Jiang's father had been married for so many years, and Jiang's mother knew what Jiang's father was thinking.
Jiang Moli is Jiang's only biological daughter, so of course he hopes to see her more.
"Dad, Mom agreed." Jiang Moli said.
"Then move in there," said Jiang's father, "and rent out the house here."
"Then it's settled." Jiang Moli smiled happily. "When Jiahao and I were in the backyard today, I asked him if he thought I was crazy. I wanted to live here with you guys."
"What did he say?" Jiang's mother asked.
"He said we should live here until the house is renovated." Jiang Moli said, "As soon as he heard what I said, he knew what I meant. As long as our family lives together, we can live anywhere. If we can have a better house, of course we'll live in a better house."
Sheng Jiahao couldn't possibly say Jiang Moli was crazy. He knew Jiang Moli was reluctant to leave her biological parents. Jiang Moli had a good relationship with her parents, so it was understandable.
"It's his fault too. He didn't let me see the house earlier. If I had known it was this big, I wouldn't have said I wanted to live in our house." Jiang Moli curled her lips. "When I said those things, I don't know if he was laughing at me in his heart. He even told Teacher Lu and the others."
Jiang Moli wanted to scream. She shouldn't have said those words earlier. She should have looked at the wedding house first. Jiang Moli thought that she didn't know enough about Sheng Jiahao's net worth. That house would cost a lot of money. Even if Jiang Moli sold it, she couldn't afford it.
"Don't worry, your teacher won't laugh at you." Jiang's mother said, "Your teacher, your future mother-in-law, also said that we should live with you in the future."
On a new day, Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao went to get their marriage certificate. It went very smoothly and they got it easily without any other troubles. Jiang Moli looked at the marriage certificate in her hand and she still felt a little unbelievable that she got it just like that.
"I originally thought we should wait a few more years before getting the marriage certificate," Jiang Moli said. "When we have a child and need to apply for a birth certificate, it will still be in time to get the marriage certificate."
That's right, Jiang Moli had always thought so before. She didn't think about when to get the marriage certificate. Even without a marriage certificate, the two of them could still have intimate contact. They could still be together.
"It's a good idea to get the marriage certificate now," Sheng Jiahao said. "Do you want to go look at furniture?"
"Everyone is out, let's go take a look." Jiang Moli said, "Some furniture still needs to be customized."
"Well, they have to be customized." Sheng Jiahao said, "These things should be made quickly."
"As long as there's money, it can be done quickly, right?" Jiang Moli understood. "I've told my parents that after we get married, they'll move in with us in the new house, and they'll rent out their current house."
"Okay." Sheng Jiahao had no objection.
"Do you think I'm going back on my word?" Jiang Moli asked.
"No." Sheng Jiahao said, "Life is about living happily. In fact, I also want my parents to live with us, that is, my parents-in-law will live with us. More people, more vitality, it won't seem so empty, and you won't be scared when you are alone at home."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded.
"When we move in, Mom won't have to clean or cook anymore. We can hire someone to do it." Sheng Jiahao said, "When Mom and Dad are free, they can go out for a walk or play outside. They don't have to wait on us."
The news that Sheng Jiahao and Jiang Moli had obtained their marriage certificate spread. When Jiang's mother went to buy vegetables, others asked her why she was so happy.
"My daughter Jasmine went to get her marriage certificate today," Jiang's mother said. "The wedding banquet will be held in October."
"Then you have to treat us." Aunt Zhao said.
"Of course you will, of course you will." Jiang's mother said with a smile.
When Aunt Zhao's family held a good event, they would also invite the Jiang family over. When Jiang Moli got married, the Jiang family naturally had to ask Aunt Zhao for leave.
"It's better to get the marriage certificate. It saves them from…" Aunt Zhao pointed in the direction of the Shi family. "Once you get the marriage certificate, they'll be more friendly to you. It's the same with other families. When a girl gets married, it's like lifting a heavy stone from someone's head."
Aunt Zhao also knew about Shi's mother's tantrum in front of Jiang's mother. People like Shi's mother don't care what others think, they only care about what they think. Shi's mother believes that what she believes is the truth, and no one else's words matter.
"That's right," Jiang's mother said. "It's not that I'm afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. My daughter has a partner, not that she doesn't have one. I'm just worried that someone will try to annoy her and separate her from her partner. My son-in-law is just afraid that my daughter will get hurt. He wanted to get married with my daughter a while ago, but he didn't dare to mention it because he was afraid she wouldn't agree. Isn't this just a coincidence? After something like that happened, he immediately said he wanted to get married with my daughter. He really cherishes my daughter."
When her mother, who was passing by, heard those words, she still felt uncomfortable. How come Sheng Jiahao and Jiang Moli got married? Sheng Jiahao didn't even divorce Jiang Moli? An actor, that is, a person who falls in love with every person he meets. How can such a person be married?
