Shishi glanced at the address on the property certificate and exclaimed, "Wow, it's next to the courtyard house that Grandma Lu gave me and Sister Yue's house!"
Yu Hui felt the property certificate was too hot to handle; she had no plans to get married early. Before she could even say no, she hesitated after hearing Shi Shi's words.
"Grandma Lu, are there any other houses nearby?"
Grandma Lu shook her head, "They're not together; the other two are a bit further apart."
She donated many of her properties, leaving only these few courtyards, which are large enough and in a good environment.
There's another half-street lined with small two-story shops, which were previously given to the three Ugly brothers, one for each of them.
The authorities have already expressed their intention to open up the economy. I heard that Shi Shi is going to do something big, so she plans to reserve 8 more rooms for her great-grandchildren and give the rest to Shi Shi. That's why they haven't been put out to the public.
Money can't be taken with you when you die. The fact that Shishi caught the eye of the high-ranking leader shows she's the hope of the nation. The old man praises her every day, and she's always in a great mood after returning from the military headquarters. She considers it a contribution to the country.
This matter has already been discussed in a family meeting, and it was unanimously approved without any objections.
Yu Hui pulled Lu Ran aside directly.
"I like that house, how about we get married this summer?"
Lu Ran smiled and secretly took her hand, "Are you sure you want to get married because of the house and not because you love me?"
Yu Hui's face flushed slightly. "I love you, I love you, okay?"
"If you want to get married, then get married. I'm very obedient to my wife."
Having received a positive answer, Lu Ran openly led her to the old lady.
"Grandma, we've decided. We'll get married during the summer vacation and then bring my father-in-law over."
Grandma Lu smiled broadly, "You can focus on your studies. Your mother and I will take care of this."
They finally became a couple.
Xiao Liu, hiding under the bench: ...Hey, Aunt Hui, do you still remember you're a ghost?
Shishi received a subtle look from her daughter and kindly reminded her, "Yu Hui, you're a ghost now."
Yu Hui jumped up, "Ah, right, right, I need to catch someone! Lu Ran, hurry, come with me to find someone!"
One couple was willing to get married, so Grandma Lu stopped pressuring the remaining two couples and put away their property deeds.
Lu Chen's girlfriend tugged at his sleeve.
"Ah Chen, should we also..."
"No rush, let's go back to the regiment. Brother, do you want to come with us?" Lu Chen stood up and looked at Lu Xiao.
Ever since they were tricked once, the two brothers have been living and eating together in the troupe, and they don't mind having two beds in one room.
Lu Xiao nodded, about to call out to his girlfriend, when he saw her staring intently at Zhou Shi, who was whispering to Xie Lin.
"Chu He, let's go."
Chu He said "Oh," and quickly looked away. Instead of getting up, she pulled Lu Xiao back down to sit.
"Ah Xiao, can I stay at your place tonight?"
Lu Xiao frowned, "Didn't you say you wanted to go back to dance practice early?"
It was inappropriate for the woman to ask to stay at the man's house on her first visit. She had always been very proper before. What happened to her today?
Even Grandma Lu, who was pressuring him to get married, frowned.
Pressuring someone to get married is one thing, but the proper rules still need to be followed.
Living at the man's house before marriage will damage one's reputation.
Besides, they're just dating, they're not even engaged yet.
Chu He wasn't intimidated. "I just suddenly missed my parents. You know, my parents were martyrs. I was raised by my uncle and rarely experienced the warmth of family."
"Just now, your aunt was so warm and loving towards your fourth brother's fiancée. I really envy that heartwarming scene."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao's mother, Ling Xin, felt a little uncomfortable and glared at her eldest son.
It's all that brat's fault. If he had agreed to marry her too, she would have a daughter-in-law and could openly dote on her.
I'm so envious of my sister-in-law! Not only does she have a granddaughter, but her youngest son's marriage is also settled.
Her two sons, who are like barbecued pork, don't care about their mother at all. She wants to be a grandmother too, you know.
She walked over and took Chu He's hand. "Xiao He, you can stay if you want. You can also go back tomorrow morning. There are guest rooms at home."
Grandma Lu calmly withdrew her gaze, her earlier enthusiasm gone.
It's not that she's old-fashioned; being proactive and being passive really can't be compared on the same level.
If her second grandson had agreed to the marriage, she would have definitely offered to let Chu He stay overnight at the Lu family home.
Ling Xin was enthusiastic, but unfortunately her son was a blockhead.
"Mom, I have work tomorrow, so I won't stay overnight. Chu He, I'm leaving."
Chu He had no choice but to stand up.
Ahhhhh
She stumbled and fell straight towards the tea table in front of her.
Lu Xiao quickly grabbed her flailing hand and pulled her back.
Chu He leaned into his arms.
The warm, soft flesh made Lu Xiao's heart beat a little fast.
"Are you alright? How could you be so careless?"
Chu He hissed, her expression restrained, "It's nothing, I just tripped over something by accident."
She blushed as she got up from Lu Xiao's arms, took a step back gracefully to create some distance, and showed through her actions that she was a well-behaved girl.
The sudden scream startled everyone present, and even the four members of the Lu family from three generations who were in the study ran out.
"What happened?" Grandpa Lu asked, frowning.
Grandma Lu pointed at Chu He, "It's nothing, she just accidentally fell. You all go about your business."
Ling Xin nervously pulled her aside and asked her all sorts of questions.
"Xiaohe, did you twist your ankle? Try moving your ankle."
"Auntie, it's nothing serious... Ouch~, I might have really twisted it."
She gritted her teeth, tears welling up but not falling, showing remarkable strength.
Ling Xin felt even more distressed. "Sit down quickly, Xiao Xiao, go and get some medicinal wine to rub her in..."
"Waaah, Mommy, Daddy, my hand, she stepped on my hand."
