Seeing that he couldn't become his subordinate or even a defeated opponent, he decided to change course and become his colleague. This person is truly flexible and adaptable!

If one cannot be flexible and adaptable, how could one have built such a large business?

It was truly unexpected, but since that's the case, then I'm sorry, from now on we can only be rivals, and there's absolutely no way we can be friends.

If someone tests their opponent without even knowing them, it's hard for them to trust you wholeheartedly, and they can only become your opponent or enemy.

However, making enemies of such people is risky, so it's best to avoid becoming enemies if possible.

The matter was resolved, and now we just have to wait and see how much the other party will invest, but it doesn't matter.

The most important thing right now is the eldest son Zhengze's marriage. As for the second son, I heard he has someone he likes, but he hasn't won her over yet.

This is something he can only do on his own; others can only offer suggestions.

As for the third child and the daughter, they are still quite young, so there's no need to rush them for now.

This is my first time getting married, and I really don't know what to do. I can only listen to what experienced people say, and I have to do whatever they say.

I have to say, I've never seen him get particularly nervous before, but he's gotten nervous now.

I've never been a mother-in-law before, and I really don't know how to do it.

Everyone says it's not easy to get married, and it's true. Even though the family isn't short of money, there's still a lot to spend on things to get married.

Fortunately, I have a daughter myself, and I know that she will get married sooner or later. So, while I can't treat my son's wife the same way I treat my daughter, I don't think she will be any worse.

Weddings in Beijing are quite complicated, but fortunately, neither family's ancestors were originally from Beijing, so as long as there are no major mistakes, it should be fine.

Moreover, due to various reasons, the eldest son's wedding was held at the Yanjing Grand Hotel!

The banquet alone had 66 tables. While that's not a huge number, it's not a small number either, and most of the guests were his business associates.

Because both families are military personnel, and their children work in military-related fields, the amount of money they give as gifts is strictly controlled.

Regardless of who it is, the maximum value of the item cannot exceed 800 yuan. Anything exceeding that value will be returned. This only applies to business associates.

There's no way around it! My family's situation is special, and I absolutely refuse to accept gifts.

Other people's weddings might involve the groom wearing a suit and the bride wearing a wedding dress, but our own children are getting married in brand-new military uniforms.

They looked incredibly energetic, and it was their own decision.

However, before that, they took wedding photos just like other couples get married.

Fortunately, the camera used was imported from abroad, otherwise the resolution would not have been very good.

One downside of being a soldier is that they have very little leave. They only have about half a month of leave in total, and after the wedding, they only have one week left.

After exploring the area around Beijing, the two went to the Miaoshan Ecological Park.

It is said that one should establish a career before starting a family, and start a family after starting a career. Now I have both a career and a family.

Then they have to live their own little lives. Besides, their workplace is a bit far from the alley, and there are more cars on the road now, making it inconvenient to go back and forth.

Before the wedding, they cleaned up the house near their workplace and decorated it as their new home, and everything inside was complete.

The most important and reassuring thing is that both children can cook, so they don't need a nanny to take care of them.

Otherwise, hiring another nanny would be against the rules.

This is also a downside of being a soldier or in politics, because their positions have low salaries.

Moreover, the average monthly salary is less than 800 yuan now, so hiring a housekeeper would have a negative impact.

Moreover, the salary for soldiers is not high, only a little over 6,000 yuan a year.

It wasn't just him; everyone was like that.

That's why people say this is the easiest time for merchants to make money!

Fortunately, the eldest son in the family got married, otherwise the old lady in the family would still be urging him to get married.

Now that he's married, he has two children in his older brother's family. It's because they brought their partners back when Zhengze got married.

However, neither of the two nieces-in-law were particularly likable when they first met.

"Xiuyuan, your family's courtyard is really big! Why don't your uncle and aunt live in the east wing?"

Wasn't the east wing supposed to be where the eldest son lived?

"Weizhe, I like this house. Can I stay here?"

"I'm afraid that won't work! Third brother, this is my room. And second brother, didn't you tell your girlfriend that this courtyard is my mother's house?"

When did I become part of the Shen family?

"Ruohua, what are you saying? Why are you treating our guests like this?"

I'm so sorry! My daughter is the only girl in the family, and she's a bit spoiled. Please forgive me!

Go help me in the kitchen, why are you so outspoken?

What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go!"

"Go if you want, what's the big deal? I'll go find my second sister-in-law, my own sister-in-law is the best."

"Xiuyuan, Weizhe, you two take your girlfriends for a stroll in the yard. Dinner will be a while, no rush."

"Yes, Third Aunt."

"No, Shen Weizhe, what do you mean by this sister?"

And why does your third aunt seem a little unwelcoming to me?

"I'm your fiancée, practically a member of the Shen family. What right does she have?!"

"Third Uncle!"

"Third Uncle, you're back!"

"Okay, don't bring any shady characters to my house in the future. They're not welcome here."

"yes!"

"Remember, supporting the elderly is the duty and responsibility of children; not everything belongs to them."

"yes!"

"Xiuyuan, is he your third uncle? Why is he so serious, almost like my grandfather? Isn't he just the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region?"

"How come his demeanor is almost on par with the Commander-in-Chief?"

"Shut up! If you want to stay here for the wedding, don't say another word, or I can't guarantee you won't be thrown out."

At that point, even my dad wouldn't dare utter a single word of dissent.

"How could this be?"

"If you don't believe me, why don't you try it!"

"Sister-in-law, how much dowry do you think is appropriate for Xiuyuan and Weizhe if they get married?"

"Sister-in-law, you two families can discuss this together."

We discussed it with our in-laws, and they didn't ask for more money because of their family's circumstances.

It's just like most people in Beijing getting married these days!

"How much is that? I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, so I really don't know."

"That's true, our family offers one in ten thousand, but I wonder how many wives are needed to get married in your city!"
