"Big sister, I also like gold, but if I get married in the future, you can just buy me gold bars." Lin Xiaoxue walked over at some point and shamelessly asked for it.
"We'll talk about it when you get married." Lin Xiazhu glared at her. Now, apart from Taozi, everyone in the house is a money-grubber.
"I will try my best to get married soon." Lin Xiaoxue nodded seriously and even made a cheering gesture.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxue didn't know about the building giveaway, otherwise she would definitely have come to ask for a building in return. It's not that Lin Xiazhu was unwilling to give it to her; she just wanted to observe Lin Xiaoxue for a few more years to make sure that Lin Xiaoxue hadn't done anything to wrong Taozi before she would treat her with a normal attitude. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to get a gold brick, let alone a building.
How could Grandma Lin, Lin Chacha's grandmother, be absent from her wedding? Today, she wore a new floral cotton-padded jacket, woolen shoes, a pair of gold earrings, and a silver bracelet. Despite the cold weather, she rolled up her sleeves so that others could see her silver bracelet.
"This silver bracelet was bought for me by my granddaughter, and this silver bracelet, and the brand new outfit I'm wearing were all bought by my granddaughter... Ah? It's Xiaozhu, the one who got into a prestigious university in Beijing." Grandma Lin has praised Lin Xiazhu quite a bit over the years.
She was surrounded by several familiar old ladies, chatting and laughing happily. Her pockets were full of candy, and in her joy, she took out a few more and gave them to her old friends.
Some of those old ladies were from the town and were good friends with Old Lady Lin, while others were relatives from the Lin family village. Of all the old ladies, Old Lady Lin was the most prominent.
The eldest son made money as a contractor and bought a house in the county town. His two grandsons are also doing well in the county town. Although the second son died young, all four granddaughters are successful. Lin Xiazhu, needless to say, has been good at making money since she was a child. She is very capable and was admitted to a prestigious university.
In recent years, Lin Chacha has run pig farms, chicken and duck farms, leased fish ponds, and leased hills to plant fruit trees. Now she is the richest woman in Shanhe Town. She made money at a young age and even brought her man back with her.
"I'm not bragging, but my eldest grandson went to a technical school, and my eldest granddaughter and third granddaughter are both college graduates. They'll both be developing their careers in big cities in the future. Our family owns several houses in the county town..." Grandma Lin counted on her fingers as she told her old friends.
There's nothing we can do about it; as people get older, they tend to repeat the same thing over and over again, and they do it with great enthusiasm. They just love to ramble on.
At the hotel entrance, an archway made of pink balloons was set up, and many flower baskets were placed outside. The groom, Song Cheng, was wearing a black suit, which made him look even more handsome. He had been grinning like an idiot since morning and hadn't closed his mouth since.
Lin Chacha's belly was quite noticeable, larger than usual for three months, so she couldn't wear a wedding dress. Instead, she wore a bright red dress and three-centimeter red leather shoes. She wore light makeup, and her already beautiful features looked even sweeter at this moment. However, her charm was ruined as soon as she spoke.
Lin Xiazhu accompanied Lin Chacha and Song Cheng to greet guests at the hotel entrance. When guests arrived, they were given red envelopes directly. Bai Ruan stood beside Lin Xiazhu the whole time, with a faint smile on his handsome face, trying his best to appear easygoing.
"Actually, getting married is a very happy thing." Bai Ruan suddenly whispered in Lin Xiazhu's ear. He was very close, and his warm breath brushed against Lin Xiazhu's cheek, making her feel a little ticklish.
"Hmm? And then?" Lin Xiazhu's mind wasn't on him; she was busy greeting guests.
"Should we get married too?" Bai Ru'an naturally took her hand and said softly with a smile.
Lin Xiazhu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she gritted her teeth, muttering, "Dream on, who proposes so casually?"
Although she spoke very softly, Bai Ruan heard her completely and made up his mind. It seemed he needed to start thinking about proposing. There was no reason why Lin Chacha could get married so easily, but he and Xiaozhu couldn't.
Many people get married at the end of the year, and several hotels next door also have wedding banquets. Zhang Yu's house is large, and he built five more floors, which can seat three families, meaning he can host banquets for three couples.
Each family owns one floor. The fourth and fifth floors are for their own living, and the bottom three floors are specifically used for setting up tables. Previously, because they were hosting wedding banquets for three families at the same time, the guests got the floors wrong and ate at each other's houses. They only realized they had gone to someone else's house after they finished eating, which was quite a joke.
Today is Lin Chacha's wedding day, so Zhang Yu won't accept any other guests to avoid confusion. He treats Lin Chacha like his own sister, and his family wants to join in the fun at his sister's wedding, so they don't have time for other businesses.
Just before dinner, a long string of firecrackers was set off. The guests went inside and sat down at the tables. Halfway through the firecrackers, another group of people rushed over and loudly called out to Lin Xiazhu and the others.
"Niece, wait a minute, we've come to give you face. This is a red envelope from your uncle." The people who came were Uncle Zhao Da, Uncle Zhao Er, and Uncle Zhao San. The three of them each gave a red envelope.
Lin Xiazhu really wanted to throw these three troublemakers out, but considering that today was Chacha's big day, she held back and took the three red envelopes and stuffed them into Lin Chacha's hands.
"Come with me to the private room on the first floor. There's an empty table there, so you can sit there." Lin Xiazhu's three aunts-in-law had also arrived. Worried that they might cause trouble again, she forcefully pulled Zhao Dajiu and the other two towards the private room.
The three grown men were being dragged along, unable to break free even slightly, and could only follow. Seeing this, the three aunts rolled their eyes and could only follow as well.
Lin Chacha didn't invite the Zhao family to her wedding; they came to her door on their own. However, they added a few extra tables for the banquet. It didn't matter much; they were just worried about not having enough seats, which would be embarrassing.
This private room was originally intended for Lin Xiazhu and her group, so only one table was set up. Now that the Zhao family had joined them, she immediately asked Lin Xiaoxue to tell Zhang Yu to set up another table. She then instructed Zhang Yu's brothers to come from the private room with the Zhao family and keep an eye on them, preventing them from causing trouble.
Actually, Lin Xiazhu really misunderstood the Zhao family this time. They didn't mean to cause trouble; they genuinely wanted to attend Lin Chacha's wedding. Seeing that the Lin sisters were doing better and better, they decided to make connections with them.
You can't steal family property; they just like to play the game of scheming. They befriend whoever is rich, so they can get help when needed. It's never a bad thing to befriend successful people.
The Zhao family is shameless; they've forgotten all the despicable things they did in the past, acting as if nothing ever happened. They can seize the family property whenever they want, and befriend others whenever they want—they call the shots.
Lin Xiazhu guessed their thoughts from their words, but she didn't intend to do as they wished. After the banquet, they would go back to where they came from; she didn't want such relatives.
"Don't get upset. It's not worth it for someone who's not involved." Bai Ru'an took her hand, squeezed it gently a few times, and gave her a deep look with her peach blossom eyes.
"Don't be angry, it's just a bit of a mood killer. Those people are as shameless as city walls, they're nowhere near as good as us." Lin Xiazhu shook her head with a laugh. Speaking of which, everyone in her family is quite shameless. Tsk, could they have inherited it from the Zhao family?
