Chapter 278 Another Marriage
“It’s big enough, it’s big enough,” Luo Guixia said with a smile. “If the house were any bigger, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with all the tidying up.”
After moving to her new home, she was overjoyed. She no longer had to set up a stall to sell fried food every day, and could just stay home cleaning and tidying things up.
“Cousin Jingming isn’t very considerate,” Lu Yunzhou glanced at Zhou Jingming. “Why didn’t you hire two housekeepers to clean the house?”
Zhou Jingming smiled faintly, "Yunzhou, it's not appropriate for you to say these things now. My father-in-law hasn't agreed to let Niannian marry you yet."
Lu Yunzhou raised an eyebrow, about to retort, but Zhou Ruolan pinched him hard and glared at him, so he shut his mouth and said nothing.
“Jingming said he would hire a nanny for us, but we felt uncomfortable and refused,” Luo Guixia explained. “We are already very satisfied to be able to live in this house in our lifetime.”
Zhou Ruolan and Lu Yunzhou sat opposite Jiang Hongbo and Luo Guixia.
Jiang Ran sat next to Jiang Yan. Jiang Ran and Jiang Yan had a very good relationship, and the two sat very close to each other.
Zhou Jingming sat alone on a single sofa, feeling frustrated because he couldn't hug his wife, and he really wanted to kick his younger sister out.
Zhou Ruolan smiled and said, "Let's skip the formalities. Yan Yan has already told you why we're here. You can make any requests you have regarding the children's marriage."
After exchanging glances, Luo Guixia and Jiang Hongbo spoke up, "I discussed it with the child's father yesterday. We need to have the bride price, the three gold pieces, and so on."
"But my wife and I won't keep the bride price; we'll give it to Niannian. We don't ask for anything else; we just hope that Yunzhou will treat Niannian well."
Zhou Ruolan nodded, "These are all necessary, but we can also suggest other things."
“Then let’s give Niannian a decent wedding,” Luo Guixia said seriously. “We, the old couple, don’t ask for much, but we hope that Niannian can get the best. Let’s make the bride price an auspicious number, 888,000 yuan.”
She knew the Lu family was wealthy, so she boldly asked for so much money so that Niannian would have a secure future.
Hearing Luo Guixia's words, Zhou Ruolan silently praised the Jiang family in her heart, saying that they were not greedy. She took out a bank card and pushed it to the other side, saying, "There is 8.88 million in this card. It is the bride price. You can keep it for yourselves. I will give Niannian a separate amount."
"Let's change the three gold pieces to eight, plus a set of diamond jewelry. After Niannian is discharged from the hospital, we can let her choose it herself, or we can go buy it together. What do you think?"
Jiang Hongbo and Luo Guixia were stunned. They asked for 888,000 yuan, but the other side gave them 8,880,000 yuan. They asked for three gold pieces, but the other side gave them eight gold pieces plus a set of diamond jewelry.
They nodded numbly, "Okay."
"Let me talk about something else," Zhou Ruolan said with a smile. "I'm quite open-minded. After we get married, I'm open to whatever lifestyle I want. I don't mind whether you live with me or go out to live with Yunzhou."
"But speaking of tradition, there are some traditions. I really want to have a grandson. I'm not trying to pressure you to have children, just don't make me wait ten or eight years."
“I can promise you right now that as soon as Niannian gives birth to the baby, I will transfer a portion of my shares in Lu's Company to Niannian.”
Lu Yunzhou glanced at his mother. She hadn't told him about this beforehand, but he had no objection. Even if his mother didn't give it to him, he would.
When Jiang Yan first saw her aunt's serious expression, she thought she was going to talk about prenuptial property notarization, after all, the Lu family was wealthy and powerful, while her family was practically penniless.
Being able to marry into the Lu family is already a stroke of good luck and blessing for Niannian. Even if she is asked to do a prenuptial agreement, it's not a problem. Niannian didn't marry for money.
I didn't expect my aunt to bring up the matter of transferring shares. Having a child is a normal thing. She will have a child, and I believe Nian Nian will have a child too. After the child is born, transferring some shares is firstly to prevent Nian Nian from feeling uneasy about living with Yun Zhou, and secondly to provide some security for Nian Nian.
My aunt is really amazing.
Luo Guixia licked her lips. She hadn't expected this. "Getting married and having children is a natural thing. Niannian really likes children, so there's no problem with that."
“Then there’s no problem,” Zhou Ruolan said with a smile. “Let’s set a date. Yunzhou’s younger sister is getting married in three months, and as her older brother, it would be best if he got married before her.”
"Okay!" Jiang Hongbo and Luo Guixia had no objections. What was there to complain about with such in-laws? They wished they could pack Jiang Nian up and send her to the Lu family tomorrow.
Lu Yunzhou and Zhou Jingming were taken aback, and asked at the same time, "Xixi is getting married in three months? When was it set?"
“Last night,” Zhou Ruolan said with a smile, “Song Xu’s parents came to propose marriage last night. I thought it was okay, so we finalized the marriage between Xixi and Xiao Xu. They will go abroad to register their marriage in a while and then hold the wedding when they come back.”
"Mom, how come you didn't discuss such a big matter with me?" Lu Yunzhou looked displeased. His younger sister was still young, and she had already gotten married.
Zhou Ruolan rolled her eyes at him. "What? I can't even make decisions about the daughter I gave birth to? Besides, your sister was willing to marry him. I didn't force her to."
“Mom, Xixi is still young,” Lu Yunzhou complained.
“Niannian is still quite young, so do you want to marry her?” Zhou Ruolan’s words silenced Lu Yunzhou.
He has to marry her; otherwise, how can he explain it to Niannian?
Zhou Ruolan and Jiang Nian's parents set a date for their wedding, which was half a month earlier than Lin Xi and Song Xu's wedding.
“Then let’s set this date,” Zhou Ruolan stood up. “We won’t disturb you any longer.”
"Have a meal before you leave," Luo Guixia urged. "The dishes are all prepared and will be ready soon."
“I’m not eating anymore,” Zhou Ruolan said, pulling Lu Yunzhou to his feet. “I know you’re all worried about Niannian. Let’s go to the hospital together, and then find somewhere to eat.”
Luo Guixia and Jiang Hongbo were both worried about Jiang Nian. Yesterday, because they were at home preparing for today's meeting, they didn't have time to go to the hospital to see Jiang Nian.
Upon hearing Zhou Ruolan's arrangement, the two did not refuse, and the group rushed to the hospital.
At the hospital, Bai Tiantian came to find Lin Xi.
"Sweetie, what did you say? You and my brother are going to Baiyun City tonight?"
