Tang Qiuyue reminded Zhan Chunying not to be impulsive.
Any words said before the birth of the child are of no consequence.
Especially in this era.
Fortunately, Zhan Chunying knew that Tang Qiyue was doing this for her own good, so she held her breath and didn't complain.
No matter what, the marriage is settled, which is a good thing.
Zhan's mother is busy preparing for Zhan Chunying's wedding. Even though Zhan Chunying said that she would not hold a wedding, she still has to go through the necessary procedures and cannot treat her daughter unfairly.
Zhan's mother is very busy, and Tang's mother, as Bai Xu's stepmother, cannot be idle either.
The main reason is that there is nothing new on the island, so holding a wedding there would be lively.
As a result, Zhan Chunying and Bai Xu were not planning to hold a wedding, but the engagement could not be vague.
The conditions on the island are limited, but Tang's mother is so good that she got a lot of good things from Tang Qiyue for Bai Xu to use to propose marriage. Anyway, the things will be given to Zhan Chunying in the end.
Tang Qiuyue was straightforward and got her many things she needed according to the list made by her mother.
Although it's not too difficult, it's still rare on the island.
Some household appliances were prepared. Although they were all configured on demand, not everyone was eligible. Fortunately, Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye were both eligible to apply, and the provider was Tang Qiyue.
Bai Xu didn't participate much in the whole process, he only sent one person.
So on the day of proposing marriage, he followed Uncle Wang and Tang's mother and came to the door carrying things. Zhan Chunying was also watched by Zhan's mother and two brothers.
Instead, it was Mrs. Zhan and Tang Qiyue who were whispering to the side.
"This doesn't feel like an engagement, it feels like a fight!"
Mrs. Zhan had never seen Zhan Zeye so unhappy, and her face was full of curiosity.
Tang Qiyue laughed dryly.
This is probably what every brother would do, after all, she is his biological sister whom he truly dotes on.
"It's okay, there's no chance of a fight. Besides, with Brother Xu's physique, even Big Brother can't beat him!"
Tang Qiyue’s meaning was very clear. There was no need for Zhan Zeye to take action unless Bai Xu didn’t want to continue.
Mrs. Zhan nodded, it was indeed so.
However, she was also happy to see her sister-in-law getting married, so as to avoid being asked about things by others, which still made her feel a little unhappy.
"Where do they live?"
Mrs. Zhan was still curious. Bai Xu had always lived in the dormitory of the research institute, while Uncle Wang and Mother Tang lived in the staff quarters. Zhan Chunying also lived in the staff quarters with Zhan Zeye's family.
The family compound has almost the best living conditions on the island, and no one who has come here wants to live here.
Mrs. Zhan and Brother Zhan were arranged to live in another residential area according to the conditions of technology introduction. The conditions there were not bad, but they were not on the same level as the configuration in the family compound.
She also coveted the family compound, but she knew better than ever that given their family's financial situation, they really couldn't live there.
Tang Qiyue hummed, "Brother Xu is an important researcher at the institute. He has always been eligible to apply for housing. The house is at the institute!"
This is inevitable.
Even if Tang Qiyue wanted to help Zhan Chunying, she would not make any special arrangements.
When Mrs. Zhan heard about this arrangement, she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, she wouldn't be jealous since it wasn't in the family compound. Otherwise, she would have wanted to encourage Brother Zhan to ask Zhan Zeye to live with them.
However, Tang Qiuyue did not tell Mrs. Zhan that Bai Xu would only use that house when he was resting, and Zhan Chunying still lived at home on weekdays.
The main reason is that the three brats can’t leave Zhan Chunying.
The two families were originally relatives, so they could discuss things quickly. Besides, Zhan Chunying and Bai Xu were both people who feared trouble, so naturally they kept things as simple as possible and no one wanted to go through extra procedures.
The engagement process was quickly completed.
It was noon, and Zhan Zeye asked someone to go to the cafeteria to order a table of food, which would be delivered to his home to eat directly.
After a lively dinner, the marriage was settled, and all that remained was to wait to get the marriage certificate.
What Tang Qiyue didn't expect was that after dinner, her mother asked her to go home with her to talk about something.
I think they were discussing the renovation of Bai Xu's house. Tang Qiyue didn't refuse, but when she got to Tang's mother, she said, "Bai Xu doesn't want to hold a wedding, but we can't just do nothing!"
Tang Qiuyue asked her mother to take charge of the arrangements.
"What I mean is, forget about the whole wedding process, but how about arranging two tables of food and having your uncle Wang cook? We can have the two families together for dinner, and also invite Bai Xu's teachers and colleagues."
There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
Bai Xu listened and agreed.
"Aunt, it's up to you to do whatever you want. I'm fine with it. The main thing is that I'm going to be very busy from now on and may not be able to take care of the family. I'll have to trouble you to look after the family for a while!"
He got married purely because of Zhan Chunying's conditions, not because he wanted to get married.
So he doesn't want the ceremony, always feeling that it is a lie.
Seeing that Bai Xu had no objection, Tang's mother said she would arrange it and told him not to worry.
Everything is already configured in the new house. You just need to clean it, put some daily necessities in, and move in.
You don't need to worry too much about these.
Anyway, Tang's mother arranged everything clearly.
"It's much easier now. Everything is arranged by the government. There's no need to order furniture. Chunying's dowry is also much easier. Go back and talk to your mother-in-law. We can do anything here. It's all up to Chunying!"
Tang's mother didn't want to embarrass her stepson, so she naturally cooperated in every way possible.
What's more, Zhan Chunying is Tang Qiuyue's sister-in-law, and she will not let this matter go wrong no matter what.
Tang Qiyue nodded. Tang's mother had the habit of taking a nap, so she asked Tang Qiyue and Bai Xu to go and get busy.
After leaving home, Tang's mother was going to the research institute to talk to Mr. Gong about something, and it happened to be on the same route as Bai Xu.
Along the way, Tang Qiyue was really curious about how Zhan Chunying and Bai Xu had discussed the matter and how Bai Xu agreed to marry her.
"She promised me not to interfere with my work or force me to take care of the family. She just wanted to get a marriage certificate to give both parents peace of mind!"
Bai Xu did not hide it from Tang Qiyue.
Is this a fake marriage?
Tang Qiyue was shocked: "No, what are you after? Marriage is marriage. Maybe at the beginning you can still avoid touching each other's bottom line, but over time, people's greed will grow!"
Tang Qiuyue doesn't believe that any fake couple can last long.
Bai Xu hummed, "So I made an agreement with Zhan Chunying: if she finds someone she likes in the future, I will cooperate with her in getting a divorce and will not interfere with her personal freedom! Similarly, if I want a divorce, she has to cooperate too!"
He said it straightforwardly, but Tang Qiyue was not optimistic and even reminded him directly.
"Brother Xu, as a family member, I have to remind you that if you find a stranger to do this, I don't think there is a problem, but Zhan Chunying is my sister-in-law. You should understand Zhan Zeye's character, right?"
