Chapter 48 Visiting the Future Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law
Lin Yi'an slept all afternoon. After ending her video call with her older sister, she wasn't sleepy at all. She watched some social news for a while before finally getting sleepy and slept until dawn.
After waking up, I washed up and changed my clothes. When I came out, I saw my grandparents doing their morning exercises in the yard. The two old people smiled and said, "An'an, you're up?"
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma!"
Yu Minhua stopped what she was doing and suggested with a smile, "Mingshi hasn't gotten up yet, why don't you go and wake him up, An'an?"
Lin Yi-an: "He was in the car all afternoon yesterday, so he's probably tired. Let him sleep."
She slept the whole way in the car. Zhou Mingshi seemed to be busy with work the whole time. She always felt that she should rest when she was tired.
Yu Minhua smiled and said, "Okay, since An'an cares about him, let him sleep a little longer."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
At 7:30, Zhou Mingshi came out of the house and looked at Lin Yi'an, who was talking to his grandparents in the yard: "Last night, I spoke with my uncle and aunt on the phone, and I'm going to visit the Lin family today."
Yu Minhua: "We're getting our marriage certificate tomorrow, so it's time to visit your parents."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
When breakfast was served, Lin Yi'an glanced at it and saw that it was similar to what her family ate.
Since the grandson couldn't visit his future in-laws empty-handed, Zhou Qisheng and Yu Minhua immediately went to prepare gifts for him as soon as they put down their chopsticks.
Cigarettes, alcohol, and tea are indispensable. Zhou Qisheng has collected a lot of fine wines, teas, and cigarettes, which will naturally come in handy when his grandson gets married.
Yu Minhua, standing nearby, said, "We've prepared a set of porcelain and fish maw for Yuehua..."
Zhou Qisheng reminded, "And An'an's older brother and sister too."
Assistant Chen followed behind, taking the things they had packed and putting them in the car.
They said, "President Zhou has prepared all the gifts for them."
Yu Minhua laughed and said, "Since he has prepared, I won't prepare anything. This kid has always been reliable. When his older brother got married, he wasn't as thoughtful as him. He only remembered to prepare a gift when he was about to visit the bride's parents."
Lin Yi'an sat in the living room, not disturbing them as they prepared the gifts.
Zhou Kanghui and Zhou Mingyuan came out and saw Assistant Chen carrying things into the car.
Zhou Kanghui walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"President Zhou will get his marriage certificate with Dr. Lin tomorrow, and he visited the Lin family today."
This is a joyous occasion, there's nothing to hide, especially since the other party is President Zhou's father, there's even less need to conceal it.
Zhou Mingyuan was taken aback: "Second Brother and Miss Lin are getting their marriage certificate?"
Zhou Kanghui was also taken aback: "We're supposed to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, why didn't anyone tell me?"
Assistant Chen: "The chairman had someone calculate the date, and tomorrow is an auspicious day."
Zhou Mingyuan then realized that getting a marriage certificate required choosing an auspicious date. But then again, it's a major life event, and one should be careful about it.
So, when he and He Xishan got their marriage certificate, did they also need to find someone to choose an auspicious date?
Zhou Kanghui said with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an came out side by side and said, "It doesn't matter if you know now. I've had someone book a hotel. We'll get our marriage certificate this morning, and then both families will have lunch together to celebrate. Are you coming?"
"Of course I'll come. How could I not?"
If his future daughter-in-law hadn't been standing next to him, Zhou Kanghui would have jumped up in anger. What kind of talk was that?
His son is getting married, and both families are celebrating. Why isn't his father coming? Is he really that unreliable?
Lin Yi'an greeted him: "Uncle!"
When Zhou Kanghui met her gaze, his anger immediately subsided, and he gave a forced laugh: "An'an!"
Before Zhou Mingshi and Lin Yi'an got into the car, he reminded him: "After you get the marriage certificate and go from being an uncle to a father, have you prepared a gift for your daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Kanghui: "......"
After watching their car drive away, Zhou Mingyuan turned his gaze to Zhou Kanghui and asked, "After we get our marriage certificate, do we still need to prepare a gift for our daughter-in-law?"
Zhou Kanghui: "What are you trying to say?"
Zhou Mingyuan said, "Shanshan is pregnant. Her belly can't be delayed. Let's hurry up and get our marriage certificate. You should prepare a gift for your future sister-in-law. Don't forget to give Shanshan a gift too. Otherwise, what if she is looked down upon by her elder and younger sisters-in-law after she enters the family? She is your daughter-in-law and should be treated the same."
Zhou Kanghui was somewhat annoyed: "Can you guys be compared to each other?"
Zhou Mingyuan retorted, "How are they different? Aren't they both your sons?"
Zhou Kanghui said irritably, "Not all sons are the same. Do I need to tell you what your second brother's status is in the Zhou family, and what your status is in the Zhou family?"
Of course, he wouldn't be short of gifts when his daughter-in-law entered the family, but it was impossible for the third son to be treated the same way.
Zhou Mingyuan blushed and said, "Are you saying that my status in the Zhou family is lower than my second brother's, and my wife's status is also lower than my future sister-in-law's?"
Zhou Kanghui waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you can't even figure this out, you should give up on that idea of building your own wealthy family as soon as possible."
This child was so sweet-talking and clever when he was little, how did he turn out like this when he grew up?
Wanting status before even stepping inside?
He may not be prejudiced by social class, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know who the Zhou family will have to rely on in the future, or who they should support.
After saying that, he left, too lazy to bother with his son who was a bit dim-witted.
Zhou Mingyuan clenched his fists. He had always thought that his father liked him the most, but he never expected that in his father's eyes, he was not as good as his second brother.
Sun Yurong overheard the father and son's conversation in the courtyard and gave him a cold look: "This is what happens when you seek true love. If you were to find a rich heiress, do you think your father would still treat you like this?"
Zhou Mingyuan: "I don't believe I can't make something of myself. I'm going to find someone to calculate an auspicious date right now, and we'll get our marriage certificate immediately."
After saying that, he ran away.
Sun Yurong's face was gloomy, blaming not only her son but also Zhou Kanghui for meddling.
Lin Weiqi and Wang Yuehua didn't go to work today. Lin Su went to the company, handed over his work, and then came back.
When Lin Yi'an and Zhou Mingshi arrived, they happened to run into him returning from the company.
After getting out of the car, Lin Su first looked at his younger sister, then walked over and patted her head: "Your complexion is rosy, you haven't lost weight. Assistant Ye deserves credit, I'll give her an extra month's bonus later."
Lin Yi-an said with a smile, "I thank you on behalf of Zhi-zhi, brother."
"Her taking good care of you is her way of thanking me." After saying that, Lin Su looked at Zhou Mingshi: "Mingshi."
Zhou Mingshi: "Big brother."
Lin Su joked, "Are you willing to call me 'Big Brother'?"
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Of course."
Lin Su and Lin Manqing are twins, a boy and a girl. They are the same age as Zhou Mingshi, but they were born a few months earlier. The three of them were once schoolmates.
The three of them walked into the house while talking, with Assistant Chen carrying gifts inside.
Wang Yuehua and Lin Weiqi came out to greet them when they heard the car.
Zhou Mingshi: "Uncle! Auntie!"
Wang Yuehua smiled broadly: "Mingshi, come in and sit down."
After saying that, he stepped forward, took his daughter's hand, and pulled her into the house.
Lin Jingyun came out to greet them from behind.
Zhou Mingshi looked at her: "Second Sister!"
His formal address of "Second Sister" startled Lin Jingyun. After realizing what he meant, she smiled and said, "Future Brother-in-law."
Zhou Mingshi smiled.
