Chapter 325: Making a Fortune in Silence is the Right Choice
Ye Chi remained silent after seeing Ye Ling leave. He was actually feeling quite upset. Ye Ling, his older sister, had played the role of both sister and mother to him when he was little, so the relationship between them was naturally deep. But now, things had turned out like this.
Ye Xingjian sighed, "Tell Yimin when to come home for dinner. I'll call your sister over to smooth things over. We're a family now, we can't keep going like this!"
Ye Chi didn't respond. Ye Ling had been wrong to say those things in front of Yimin. If Ye Ling didn't bow her head first, how could the relationship be eased? Let Yimin bow her head first. Not only did Yimin disagree, he also didn't agree.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Xingjian sighed and stopped talking about it. Every family has its own problems.
"Talk to Yimin about where you're going to live after you get married." At this point, Ye Xingjian added, "Someone in the military is starting to talk about military reform. It's inevitable. You should pay attention to this. Military reform is an opportunity, you must seize it."
"I know." Ye Chi naturally understood that opportunities should be seized when they come, and it takes time to be transferred from the Kyoto Military Region to the military headquarters. Now is a peaceful time, and there are few opportunities for soldiers to make meritorious contributions.
Ye Chi went home to talk about getting married, and Zhang Zijun was also anxious to get married. Today, Zhang Jingtong returned to Kyoto. After leaving Gu's house, he drove to Zhang Jinglin's house. Zhang Jingtong will be transferred back to Kyoto after the New Year, and he has a lot of things to discuss with Zhang Jinglin.
When Zhang Zijun arrived home, Zhang Jingtong and Zhang Jinglin were discussing something in the study, so he could only wait outside. His aunt Lu Shuyun placed some fruit in front of him and asked, "How did Xia Yuan from the Xia family end up?"
Zhang Zijun took a bite of an apple and said as he ate, "What else can I do? There's another reason for being fired, which you definitely don't know, Auntie."
"What's the matter?" Lu Shuyun asked.
"Have you heard of Xia Yuan's husband?"
Lu Shuyun nodded. "I've seen him before. He's a very gentle man and a university teacher."
Zhang Zijun: "It's him. He found a woman outside."
Lu Shuyun was surprised, and then she heard Zhang Zijun say, "What's even more ridiculous is that the woman is pregnant, but the child is not his."
Lu Shuyun: ""
What a ridiculous person, encountering ridiculous things, it's ridiculous to the extreme.
"So what's going on now?" Lu Shuyun felt that she had to get a divorce. Why would she keep a man like that?
Zhang Zijun took a bite of the apple and said as he ate, "I don't know how they are doing. But Xia Yuan might go to Hong Kong."
He had heard this from Gu Siqing. Lu Shuyun sighed, "This Xia Yuan looked so good before, good-looking and elegant, and she was also nice when she spoke normally. Who knew she was such a fool?"
Having said this, she looked at Zhang Zijun and said, "We can't learn from her."
Zhang Zijun sneered, "Auntie, don't compare her to me. How can she compare to me?"
Lu Shuyun smiled, "Yes, she is not as good as you."
As she spoke, she picked up the cup to drink water, and heard Zhang Zijun say again: "Erhui's mother, that is my Aunt Wang, and she and Xia Yuan are twins."
When Lu Shuyun heard this, she choked on a mouthful of water and started coughing. Zhang Zijun quickly stroked her back, but he didn't say anything!
At this time, Zhang Jinglin and Zhang Jingtong came out of the study. Seeing Lu Shuyun coughing violently, they asked what was going on. Lu Shuyun waved his hands, coughed twice, and asked Zhang Zijun: "What's going on?"
Zhang Zijun recounted the entire story, and Lu Shuyun listened and said, "How could this be such a coincidence? This relationship won't be easy in the future, with Xia Yuan here."
"Just treat us as ordinary relatives." Zhang Zijun said, looking at Zhang Jingtong, "Erhui's family will move to Kyoto next year, and I want to get married next year."
Zhang Jingtong thought it would be appropriate for him to get married next year, so he said, "You should discuss it with Erhui first, and then I'll find a date to go over and discuss it."
Zhang Jingtong also considered the Xia family, but then he thought again that it was unlikely that the Xia family would be involved. Gu Erhui's surname was Gu, not Xia. Besides, looking at the current situation, the relationship between the two families was not particularly close.
Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun were both anxious to get married, so they went to discuss it with Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui the next day. Then in the evening, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju discussed the marriages of their two daughters.
They naturally wanted to keep their daughter for a few more years, but they also had to consider Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun. Especially Ye Chi, who was so old.
"They have been together for such a long time, they should get married if they want to." Wang Yueju said.
Gu Jianguo didn't dwell on it too much. They would all be in Kyoto, and Yimin and Erhui would both work at the family company. Marriage or not wouldn't make much difference to them. He was now considering the dowry.
Gu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Each of the four sisters was given a 5% share before. Now that they are getting married, I thought of giving them another 5%, a total of 10, which will be considered as their dowry. Each of them will be given a house bought by the family, and the houses they bought before will also be taken away as dowry."
When a girl gets married, she feels more confident if she has a larger dowry.
After hearing this, Wang Yueju said, "Okay, everything in the house will belong to the four sisters from now on anyway."
Gu Jianguo lit a cigarette for himself, took a few puffs, and then said, "Just an ordinary wedding is fine, don't make it a big deal."
"Why?" Wang Yueju asked. Women all want to have a grand wedding.
"A tall tree attracts the wind," Gu Jianguo said. "The Ye and Zhang families are quite powerful in Kyoto, and our family is in business. It's not good to be too conspicuous."
Making a fortune quietly is the right choice.
Wang Yueju wasn't stupid either. She immediately understood what he meant and said, "I'll tell Yimin and Erhui tomorrow."
After saying this, Wang Yueju sighed, "Yimin and Erhui are getting married soon. Time flies. I'm getting old!"
Gu Jianguo turned to look at his wife. Although she was forty, her face didn't have many wrinkles, and her figure hadn't changed much. On the contrary, he had gained some weight in the past two years. He also exercised to lose weight, so why didn't it work?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard my wife say, "The New Year is coming soon, let's go buy more meat tomorrow."
When Gu Jianguo heard the word meat, he felt like the meat would immediately grow on his belly, so he said unhappily, "Why get so much meat?"
"Don't you like eating meat? Besides, I think Ye Chi and Zijun like it too. It's Chinese New Year, if they like it, just make more."
Gu Jianguo snorted, "I'm going vegetarian for Chinese New Year this year, and they both followed suit."
If the father-in-law doesn’t eat meat, do you, as a son-in-law, want to eat meat?
Wang Yueju didn't know what was wrong with him and ignored him. She thought to herself that she would ask Erhui to drive her to the vegetable market tomorrow and buy more vegetables.
