Chapter 430: 80% chance of getting married
"What did you say?"
Jiang Yanhong felt dizzy, thinking she was hallucinating. She looked straight at Song Chengran, "Say it again."
"Mom..."
Song Chengran repeated the words seriously, looking at Jiang Yanhong worriedly.
"Mom, is there something wrong with your ears?"
Aunt Song almost laughed out loud.
Jiang Yanhong came to her senses and slapped her son on the arm, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was too shocked to react, not deaf! Your mother is not that old!"
Song Chengran smiled.
"Chengran, where is your girlfriend from and how old is she? You just told me what kind of food she likes. Grandma also has a few specialties. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the vegetable market with your mother to buy vegetables. We will buy the freshest ones..."
Aunt Song took her eldest grandson to ask about his preferences in detail.
Jiang Yanhong looked at her son who was two heads taller than her, feeling happy and sad. She was
happy that her son had grown up and had a girlfriend.
She was sad that she could not give her son a complete family, and she didn't know if the girl disliked her son.
I heard that if some of the elders had been in prison, their descendants would not be able to go into politics or the military.
Song Youwei, that bastard, really made her son suffer.
Song Chengran confessed Jiang Yanhong's worries to Zhou Jiahui early in the morning. Zhou Jiahui joked, "I asked my son, and he said he was not interested in politics or the military."
Song Chengran's eyes lit up.
The next day, Zhou Jiahui and Song Chengran went back to the Song family together.
Zhou Jiahui brought gifts, and Jiang Yanhong and Auntie Song also prepared gifts for the meeting in advance.
Both of them were very satisfied with Zhou Jiahui.
Whether it was her appearance and temperament, or her family background, she was a good match that Song Chengran would find hard to find even if he chose a lantern.
What's more, the other party had studied abroad, so Song Chengran was really marrying up.
A table of dishes, all made according to Zhou Jiahui's preferences, were the dishes she liked.
During the meal, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took good care of her, and from time to time they winked at Song Chengran to ask him to pick up some food for Zhou Jiahui.
Zhou Jiahui was very polite, and on the surface she got along well with the two of them, talking and laughing, and acting appropriately.
But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been running the hot pot restaurant for 10 to 20 years, and had met so many people, so there was no way they could tell that the girl was wary of them
. The two looked at each other and didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the girl's first time at home, so they just needed to treat her sincerely.
With Song Chengran accompanying them throughout the whole process, the three of them spoke in a distant manner.
Before leaving, Jiang Yanhong took the red envelope and a jade bracelet that she had prepared in advance and gave them to Zhou Jiahui.
Aunt Song gave her a jade hairpin.
Zhou Jiahui felt that the gift was too expensive and was hesitant to accept it. Song Chengran took it for her and whispered to her, "Don't worry, accept it boldly. My grandma and mom have a lot of good things. They prepared a lot of things for you yesterday, but they were afraid that you wouldn't like them, so they asked me to choose. I chose these two for you. They are made from the same piece of jade. They are good things..."
After that, he stuffed them into her bag.
Zhou Jiahui smiled at Jiang Yanhong and Aunt Song embarrassedly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sent the two to the outside of the villa. Song Chengran forgot to take the car key, so he went back to get it. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stayed at the door to accompany Zhou Jiahui.
Jiang Yanhong saw Song Chengran enter the house and waved to Zhou Jiahui.
Zhou Jiahui's heart was lifted, as if facing a powerful enemy.
She thought, what should come has finally come.
Who knew that Jiang Yanhong came close to her, quickly stuffed a small box into her hand, and did not forget to secretly look back and whispered to her, "The jade bracelet is what Song Chengran liked, and the thing in this small box is the gift I want to give you. I have prepared it for a long time. This thing was passed down to me by my mother-in-law. I pass it to you, hoping that you and Chengran can be together forever..."
Zhou Jiahui looked at Jiang Yanhong blankly.
Jiang Yanhong smiled, and her eyes were just short of writing words to tell her that I am very satisfied with you and like you very much.
Zhou Jiahui went to see Auntie Song again.
The old lady smiled amiably, which was completely different from the sarcastic look her grandmother had when she looked at her mother in her memory.
At that moment, Zhou Jiahui felt her mind go blank. She
couldn't think of anything.
But she was sure of one thing, that this family was 80% suitable for marriage.
As for the remaining 20%, time would have to prove it.
On the way back, Zhou Jiahui opened the box, looked at the very old silver longevity lock inside the box, and smiled...
After the first time, there would be a second time.
Song Chengran invited Zhou Jiahui to go, Auntie Song specially prepared delicious food for her grandson's wife and invited her to go, and Jiang Yan came back from the red plate shop with some fresh fish and meat, and asked Zhou Jiahui to bring some back to eat with Zhou's mother.
For all the food collected by Fan Qingyi from the space and sent to the Song family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would divide a portion for Song Chengran to deliver to Zhou's mother and daughter.
Song Chengran visited Zhou's mother once, and Zhou Jiahui rarely let Song Chengran go up because her mother liked quietness.
Song Chengran didn't think about anything else.
It took about half a year from the time they confirmed their relationship to Song Chengran's proposal.
After half a year, Zhou Jiahui also confirmed it, and the remaining two points were perfectly verified.
The two discussed settling the marriage first, and then preparing a series of trivial matters such as wedding dresses and banquets.
The two families met and arranged the date for the engagement. Suddenly, someone from the Zhou family came and called Zhou's mother to the main courtyard.
When Zhou Jiahui got the news and rushed over with Song Chengran, Old Lady Zhou was pointing at Zhou's mother. She didn't look like a noble lady at all and cursed at Zhou's mother, "...Who do you think you are? You are just a thing that our Zhou family bought to prolong my son's life. How dare you decide my granddaughter's life?"
"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come, call the family law..."
Zhou's mother was pressed to her knees on the ground by the servant, her hair was disheveled, and she looked terrible.
Zhou Jiahui was so angry that she was shaking all over. She rushed up and pushed the servant, "Let go of my mother, get out! Get out!"
The servant didn't move at all.
Mother Zhou looked up and saw her daughter, she smiled helplessly, "Why are you here?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Song Chengran standing not far away, her face changed drastically.
Suddenly she struggled and explained to Song Chengran, "Chengran, it's not what you see, don't get me wrong..."
"Mom..." Zhou Jiahui was going crazy.
Song Chengran's face, which was always smiling, was so cold and gloomy at this moment that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out.
He walked up quickly and grabbed the hand of the servant. He didn't know what trick he used, but the servant felt pain and let go of the hand that was clamped on Mother Zhou.
Song Chengran looked at the other servant coldly, and the servant looked up at Mrs. Zhou in panic.
Mrs. Zhou was furious, "How dare you! It's not the turn of an outsider in our Zhou family to be so presumptuous!"
Song Chengran raised his hand and chopped down with a knife. The servant quickly withdrew his hand and stepped aside.
"Aunt." Song Chengran bent down to help Zhou's mother up, and held Zhou Jiahui with one hand, protecting the two behind him. He turned around and looked at Mrs. Zhou with anger.
"Old lady, you said Jiahui is your granddaughter?"
