Liu's parents listened to Jiang Tang's words with smiles on their faces, and they agreed repeatedly: "Of course we can go and see it, but this house will take at least a year to build. We probably won't be able to move in until the end of next year or the beginning of the year after."
Jiang Tang then asked, "When will the real estate documents be processed?"
Father Liu answered without hesitation: "It should be in December, before the New Year."
Jiang Tang pretended not to notice the dagger-like look in her mother Liu Xiulan's eyes. She smiled and took her mother's arm, saying coquettishly, "Mom, you can rest assured now. When my sister signs the documents, we will go and take a look at what they are. Oh, by the way, Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, where will my sister and brother-in-law live for the next year? How about you rent a house for them first?"
Uncle Liu frowned and couldn't help saying, "It's only a year, why waste that money? We have room to live at home. We are already decorating Xiaochi's wedding room, and the best room in the house is reserved for them."
Liu's parents also quickly agreed: "That's right, what we mean is that we let them make do for a year and save the money, and then give it all to the young couple, right? Houses are hard to rent now, and our wedding room is already decorated."
Jiang Mo secretly pulled at the corner of Jiang Tang's clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
Jiang Tang secretly hated her sister's love-sickness. If it weren't for the fact that her sister-in-law was a nice woman, she wouldn't have bothered with it.
I thought to myself, sister, if you don’t fight for it before marriage, you won’t have a say after marriage.
At this time, Jiang Guangtao spoke in a steady voice: "Xiao Chi has two younger brothers, right? I heard that the second one is also married. I remember that your family has a three-bedroom house. Although it is not small, how can it accommodate seven people?" The matchmaker hurriedly explained with a smile: "This three-bedroom apartment of the Liu family is considered the best in the company. The old couple will have one room, the second child will have another, and the youngest will have a room on the balcony. It's just right."
Liu Xiulan also said, "It's really a bit crowded with seven people living in three rooms. How about this, let them get the marriage certificate first, and when the house is allocated and they move into the new house, we can hold a ceremony for the child. What do you think?"
When Liu Xinchi heard this, his face flushed with anxiety, and he hurriedly said, "Auntie, how can we live separately after getting married?"
Seeing her son's lack of ambition, Liu's mother felt helpless, but she had to put on a smile: "Mother-in-law, you are joking. We have a house, and we are married but we don't live together. If outsiders knew about this, they would laugh at us."
Jiang Guangtao spoke again, his tone firm: "It's a good thing that we can get the house divided in time. I support the children's wedding. In-laws, time is tight, but I don't want my daughter to suffer any injustice. Everything necessary should be prepared, and the wedding must be grand. After all, my relatives and friends are watching. We will rent the house to the young couple, what do you think?"
When Liu's father heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "How can we let the in-laws pay for renting a house when our child is getting married? We'll go back and ask around to see if there's a suitable house."
Liu's mother looked troubled and sighed, "Time is so tight, I don't know if we can find a suitable house."
Jiang Tang couldn't give her a chance to refuse, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, our family will also help keep an eye on it and ensure that they can live in their own little home before your sister and brother-in-law get married."
The marriage proposal came to a temporary end. After a few more pleasantries, a sumptuous meal, and a betrothal gift, the Liu family stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as the Liu family walked away, Comrade Liu Xiulan glared at Jiang Tang and said, "Why did you interrupt just now? I said everything. Am I that kind of person?"
"And you, you just do what they say. With your personality, you'll be bullied by them if you marry them."
"Mom, I didn't say anything. I think it's nice to live in their house. Xin Chi took me to see it, and the room was well decorated."
Jiang Tang pointed at Jiang Mo and said, "Mom, do you think my sister can do this? I know you can't speak, so I can only speak for you.
I observed her today. Her brother-in-law's father is okay, but her brother-in-law's mother is full of tricks. My sister will definitely suffer if she lives with them. Won't you feel bad when the time comes? There's also the house. I heard that she favors her youngest son. Her youngest son also has a partner. How far is the marriage? I don't say that. What if she gives the divided house to the youngest son in the future?
Jiang Guangtao said: "The third brother is right. We don't have much contact with the Liu family. I also asked around and found out that my mother-in-law is indeed partial.
When the time comes to sign the contract, we'll send someone over to take a look. Don't let them do anything to you.
Also, regarding housing, I'll be looking for more inquiries these days. It would be best if I could rent one close to the hospital."
Jiang Tang went out in the afternoon to help her sister find out about the house.
It just so happened that He Yan was off today, so he stayed with her.
"Should I go to your sister's wedding?"
"Why go? We are still in an underground relationship."
He Yan smiled helplessly: "When can I become a person on the ground?"
"It depends on the situation, at least after my sister gets married."
"All right."
When Jiang Tang and He Yan were looking for houses near the hospital, her sister and brother-in-law also took the opportunity to go out and look for a house.
Jiang Mo was the first to see Jiang Tang. Seeing her holding the hand of the man next to her, he called out in surprise, "Old Three."
When Jiang Tang heard the familiar voice, she knew something was wrong. She turned around and saw it was her second sister. She was so scared that she immediately let go of He Yan's hand.
"Sister, future brother-in-law, what a coincidence."
Liu Xinchi smiled at her, nodded at He Yan, looked at Jiang Mo and questioned Jiang Tang.
"Who is this comrade?"
Jiang Tang didn't say anything. She looked up at He Yan and motioned him to speak for himself.
He Yan pushed his glasses and called out with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm sorry for being so abrupt on our first meeting. I'm Tangtang's boyfriend. My name is He Yan, He as in when, and Yan as in the banquet."
Jiang Mo opened his mouth in shock, and after a long while he said, "Old Third, when did this happen? How dare you sneak around like this?"
Jiang Tang snorted and retorted, "Didn't my sister and brother-in-law also start secretly?"
The two people who were scolded were speechless. Jiang Mo stiffened his neck and said, "We are different. We are colleagues and we knew each other before."
"Why is it different? He Yan and I knew each other before, and we both developed from friends to lovers. If it weren't for your situation now, I would have told my parents."
"My marriage doesn't affect what you say."
“…”
"Come home with me."
"Sister, you are so unkind! He Yan and I came out to help you find a house for you and your brother-in-law, and you are so heartless that you want to betray me."
"What do you mean by betrayal? Aren't you planning on getting married? You should at least let your parents know. Comrade He, are you unwilling to come to my house?"
