Chapter 174: Tender yet Deafening



"Nothing..."

"Then we'll take it as your agreement!"

As the head of the Huo family, the eldest uncle has the final say and no room for rebuttal.

Next, the five grandfathers began to discuss sending eggs, flour, lard, cabbage and other things from their homes to help with the banquet.

When Yunduan heard what they were discussing, he felt such a strong and simple family affection, which was warm and touching, yet also heart-shaking.

Yunduan, as the new bride, listened outside with Huo Qiu Sheng the whole time and did not participate.

Huo Qiu Sheng was a junior and no one asked for his opinion.

When they had almost finished discussing, Huo Qiusheng walked in and asked:

"I just received a call saying that the military has approved Yunduan and I's marriage application. How about Yunduan and I get our marriage certificate first and then have the wedding banquet?"

"Otherwise, people will ask about it. Holding a wedding without a marriage certificate is too eager to show off."

The second uncle disagreed, "Let them say what they want! If they have the ability, they can find a daughter-in-law as good as Yunduan and show her off to me."

The third uncle said, "Qiu Sheng, are you worried that your wife will run away if you don't get a marriage certificate?"

"Don't worry, you can't run away!"

Everyone immediately started laughing, "Hahaha..."

Huo Qiusheng said somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't want to be legitimate."

The eldest uncle said, "Here, as long as you hold a wedding banquet, worship heaven and earth, kowtow to your parents, enter the ancestral hall and have your family tree entered, you are husband and wife."

The fourth uncle said, "In my opinion, it's better to get a marriage certificate! It will be legitimate and not let Yunduan down."

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by everyone, who also praised Huo Qiusheng.

"You joined the army and became a regimental commander! You're so knowledgeable and thoughtful, even more than we thought!"

"Choose a good day and get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. Then we can decide on a good day to hold the wedding banquet."

Everyone quickly reached a consensus and the date for getting the certificate was set for two days later.

After the discussion, everyone did not go back immediately, but curiously asked about Huo Qiu Sheng's work in the army, and also asked about Yun Duan's opening of a clothing store and his plan to invest in a sugar factory.

When Yunduan was talking to them excitedly, the dog in the yard suddenly barked "Woof woof woof...!" and there was also the sound of knocking on the door.

Everyone wanted to continue listening to Yunduan talk about purchasing sugar factory machinery and was reluctant to open the door.

It was only after Sister Yin gave Huo Yulian a push that she went out reluctantly with a pout on her face.

After a while, Huo Yulian was heard shouting in surprise:

"The captain is here!"

When Yunduan in the room heard this, he stretched his neck to look towards the door.

The team leader came here so late, he must have received news from higher authorities about whether the village should be allowed to build a sugar factory.

I don’t know what happened?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Liang Zhaodi, who was closest to the door, and Huo Dashan and others surrounding the production team leader who had just walked into the room.

"Captain! Is there any news? Have the higher-ups given our village permission to run a sugar factory?"

The captain's eyes sparkled as he said, "I agree!"

There was a burst of cheers and everyone was ecstatic.

"That's great! Our village is going to build a sugar factory. Will we be able to eat as much sugar as we want in the future?"

"Why do you only care about eating? Opening a sugar factory means that every household in our family will have money. This is the most important thing!"

“…”

Only Yunduan didn't smile at all, because she saw that the captain looked troubled, so she asked:

"Captain, are you having any trouble running the sugar factory?"

The captain thought that Yunduan was really smart, he guessed it without him saying anything!

"What they meant was that they would not interfere with which village we partnered with to set up the sugar factory or with whom we shared the profits. We had to figure out all the expenses of the sugar factory ourselves.

Yunduan asked, "Then what's the problem?"

The team leader sighed, "When the other villages learned that Liujia Village was joining us in setting up a sugar factory, they started clamoring to do the same!"

"This factory hasn't even started yet, and they came to rob it!"

When the second uncle heard this, he immediately got angry and asked, "Why?"

"Captain, you absolutely must not let go of this matter! If you do, everyone will get involved."
