Han Mingyuan knew more than the rest of the village. Although he had never been there, he knew that Han Laoba had indeed gone to join the army. Could it be that Han Yuchen's maternal grandfather was also a soldier? But that seemed unlikely. There were usually age restrictions for joining the army, and looking at Han Yuchen's age, could his grandfather, who was quite old, still be able to serve?
"My maternal grandfather was a soldier!" Han Yuchen was a little hesitant to reveal his grandfather's identity.
Hiss... Han Mingyuan gasped. If Han Yuchen's maternal grandfather was still serving in the army at his age, he must have held a fairly high position.
"What position does your grandfather hold now?"
His mind was blank. If Han Yuchen's maternal grandfather held a high position, why would he allow his grandson to come to this remote mountain village?
That doesn't make sense either. How could his maternal grandfather allow his daughter to marry Han Laoba, an ordinary soldier? Wasn't Han Laoba an ordinary soldier?
"It's not convenient to talk about this right now." Han Yuchen was extremely embarrassed. Seeing her predicament, Han Luoxue quickly stepped in to help her out: "Dad, it's good that you know Han Yuchen's maternal grandfather isn't a bad person. Besides, Han Yuchen is going to be our family's son-in-law, does his status really matter?"
Han Mingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words "son-in-law who lives with his wife's family." Although he had a son, his son was too young.
Besides, there aren't many children, only three. Han Mingyuan wished both of his daughters could find husbands who would live with them, so they could stay by his side.
"Han Yuchen, your grandfather doesn't have any objections to you becoming a live-in son-in-law, does he?"
Han Yuchen was feeling incredibly conflicted. If his maternal grandfather found out that he was going to become a live-in son-in-law, he seriously suspected that his grandfather would break both of his legs.
However, there shouldn't be any problem with Han Yuchen becoming a live-in son-in-law, right?
"You brat, are you going to do it or not? If not, your engagement is off, and I'll find another one for my Xue girl! Look at my Xue girl, she has everything she needs, she's capable, and she's the prettiest girl in the whole area. Do you think she'll have trouble finding a husband?"
"Yes, I'll do it! I'm willing, and my grandfather is willing too!"
Seeing that Han Mingyuan was about to find another woman for Han Luoxue, what could Han Yuchen dare to say? He should quickly agree. He needed to marry a wife first, and preferably have a couple more children. Even if she found out his true identity later, could she really kill him?
However, Han Yuchen was still a little guilty, as his identity was something most people couldn't accept.
Fortunately, Han Mingyuan tacitly acknowledged that Uncle Han was his father. If he knew that he was not Uncle Han's biological son, and if Han Yuchen were to ask further about his biological father, he really wouldn't be able to make up a story!
"Alright, I'll have them choose an auspicious date and get you two married as soon as possible."
Han Mingyuan was overjoyed to receive the satisfactory answer. Looking at Han Yuchen, his son-in-law, he became increasingly pleased.
"Dad, I'm still a child. It's not too late to get married in a few years."
Han Luoxue tugged at Han Mingyuan's arm and acted coquettishly. Han Yuchen's eyebrows twitched as he listened. Why wasn't it late? He wished he could hold his wife and go to sleep right now.
“You two are already married, why should I keep dragging this on? Hurry up and get married, have a child while you're still young, and your mother and I can help you take care of it.”
Han Luoxue was speechless. How old was she? Why was she being pressured to have children at such a young age?
However, what Han Luoxue didn't expect was that in this era, girls generally got married quite early. Once they started menstruating, they could get married around the age of fifteen.
"Besides, it's better for girls to get married and have children early. It's also more dangerous to have children when you're older."
"Han Yuchen, now that the date is set, can your grandfather come and attend?"
Maybe they really don't have time over there, but we can't neglect the proper etiquette here; we still have to invite the people who should be invited.
"Probably not, he can't be left alone for long."
"Alright, you can think about your relatives over there. Whether you want to inform them, and how many people to inform, is up to you. Oh, and what about Uncle Han? Should we wait until he finds someone before getting married?"
"That's not necessary. It's not easy to find Uncle Han. I'm just a son-in-law living with his wife's family, not someone who's getting married. It doesn't matter if I have relatives here or not."
Han Mingyuan was speechless when he heard this.
"Brother Yuan, then hurry up and find someone to choose an auspicious date. We need to clean out a room in the house, and we also need to start preparing clothes, bedding, and other things."
Knowing that her eldest daughter was getting married, Yunniang was even more excited than Han Luoxue. Suddenly, she realized that there was still a lot to prepare.
When the villagers heard the news, they all came to help. Yunniang thought for a moment and said to Han Yuchen and Han Luoxue, "For the wedding, the bedding must be brand new. We have new cotton at home, but no new fabric. Go to town tomorrow and buy some. If you see anything suitable for making clothes, buy some too. Each of you should get at least three new outfits. Your father, your sister, Mengze, and Doctor Xu will each get one outfit as well."
"We should buy some fruits and snacks, but we can skip the meat and vegetables since we have our own. If we don't have enough tables and chairs, we can borrow them from our neighbors, and we can all chip in on the bowls and chopsticks."
This was the first time Han Luoxue had ever realized that getting married could be so complicated.
"Mother, I have a lot of fabric here. I'll take it out in a bit, and you can help me see if there's anything suitable. I also have wedding clothes. The ones I wore last time were all top-quality, and I put them away right after I wore them."
"I have fruits in my space. Oh, and there are a lot of new varieties now. I'll take them out for you to try in a bit."
"We also have cotton and other things, we picked up some along the way, so all we have left are snacks, but I think we can make our own snacks."
Where can you buy snacks in town now? Everyone's starving, so the snack shops have been closed for ages.
"Okay, take the thing out first so I can take a look."
As Yunniang spoke, she pulled Han Luoxue to the room and carefully closed the door. Han Luoxue smiled, waved her hand, and a bed full of fabric appeared on it.
Although I had witnessed my daughter's methods many times before, I was still a little surprised to see Yunniang again.
"You have quite a lot in stock."
Yunniang smiled and deftly began selecting usable fabrics.
"Mother, I also bought a lot of exquisite clothes in the capital. I packed them all up from Sixiu Pavilion. You can pick out a few to keep for yourself later."
“I don’t want those clothes.” Yunniang waved her hand directly: “I still need to work in the fields, and I won’t feel comfortable wearing those clothes.”
Han Luoxue smiled and said, "The clothes from Sixiu Pavilion are hard to order. Keep a few sets for yourself; you might need to wear them sometime in the future."
"We'll talk about it when you wear them. If you can sell them, sell them all. Don't keep them and let them go to waste."
Han Luoxue thought about it and agreed, but she still left a few sets for her mother.
Last time, Yunniang's embroidery was surprisingly skillful. Han Luoxue could tell from her that she must have been good at embroidery before, and her skill level was quite high.
Perhaps this could help find out Yunniang's background. However, she still advised Yunniang to embroider more often, as only by doing more could she quickly regain her original skill level. Later, she would give a set of the embroidery to Zhou Yuan, hoping that through it she could find Yunniang's home.
"elder sister."
Mengze pushed open the door and ran in with her short legs. Her steps were unsteady, which startled Han Luoxue, who hurriedly went over and picked her up, worried that she might accidentally fall.
