Chapter 315 Mother Shen's Triumph
Hearing the noise, I turned around and saw two children walking in hand in hand.
"Hahaha!"
Xu's father suddenly burst into laughter a few times.
His hearty and loud laughter echoed throughout the entire hall.
Xu's mother gave him a helpless glare, then nudged him with her elbow, which finally stopped Xu's father from laughing heartily.
No wonder he laughed.
The two children came back hand in hand, and it was obvious at a glance that things had gone well.
They thought things would get out of control today, and that the relationship between the Shen and Xu families would suffer.
It seems the Shen family isn't angry about this, and the two children seem to be getting along well.
He was naturally overjoyed.
Everyone thought the date Old Master Shen chose was good, so they looked at Shen Ziming and Xu Jin.
"Ziming, Jin, what do you think about holding the wedding on June 20th?"
Xu Jin quickly replied, "I have no objection!"
Xu's father rolled his eyes at Xu Jin, thinking that this brat was afraid she wouldn't be able to get married.
Shen Ziming smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Grandpa, this is a good time."
Everyone is satisfied with this life.
Laughter then began to fill the room; everyone was having a great time.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen then hosted Mr. and Mrs. Xu, along with Xu Jin, for breakfast.
I reheated the breakfast.
During the meal, Chen's mother said, "Xiao Jin, after dinner, Mom will take you shopping. We'll buy you a radio, a bicycle, and a sewing machine. I bought some gold jewelry for Ning Ning before, and Mom will take you to buy some later too."
This will make Shen's mother completely assume the role of a mother-in-law.
Nowadays, getting married usually involves the basics of "three turns and one sound" (referring to a house, a watch, a bicycle, and a radio), but their family is well-off, so of course they can't just have that. Whatever their second daughter-in-law has, they naturally want to provide for their eldest daughter-in-law as well.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Jin immediately changed her address to "Mom" when addressing Shen's mother.
"Mom, the radio and the bicycle are fine, but we don't need the sewing machine, I don't know how to use that."
After thinking for a moment, Chen's mother said, "Okay, how about I get you a watch instead?"
Xu Jin actually wanted to decline, but the Shen family was just too kind, and if she didn't accept, it might hurt the feelings of Shen's parents.
With that in mind, she happily agreed, "Okay."
Now that the wedding date has been agreed upon, the next step is to prepare for the wedding, and these matters are naturally taken care of by the retired elders.
The room was filled with laughter. Jiang Ning looked at Xu Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jin suddenly threw herself at Jiang Ning and hugged her tightly, exclaiming, "Ningning, are we really family now?!"
Jiang Ning laughed, "If we're not really a family, then what, are we fake?"
Xu Jin said, "I feel like I'm dreaming. Suddenly, I'm going to marry Brother Shen, whom I've liked for so many years!"
Jiang Ning was happy for her too.
Seeing Xu Jin holding his wife, Shen Mo no longer felt uncomfortable.
Now that it's confirmed that Xu Jin is his sister-in-law, he no longer needs to be on guard.
After breakfast, the Shen family, along with the Xu family of three, drove to the department store to prepare everything needed for the wedding.
Seeing that there wasn't enough room in the car, Shen Qianqian offered to stay home to take care of the old man.
Upon arriving at the department store, Mr. and Mrs. Shen, along with their in-laws, bought all the basic necessities.
However, some minor incidents occurred during this process.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen and Mr. and Mrs. Xu got into an argument when it came time to pay the bill.
In the end, Shen Ziming stepped in to mediate, allowing Shen's parents to obtain the right to pay the bill.
After buying the basic items, he took Xu Jin to a gold jewelry store and bought several pieces of gold jewelry.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen have always been generous to their own children, and now that Xu Jin is also one of their children, they treat them all the same.
When they returned to the retirement compound after shopping, Shen's mother suddenly asked the car to stop outside the compound gate, and then they carried the things home.
Although everyone was quite puzzled, they still followed Chen's mother's wishes.
Then it was time to assign tasks to carry.
Mother Shen picked out some lightweight items for her two daughters-in-law to carry, while Father Shen carried a new radio in his arms and Father Xu carried a bicycle on his shoulder.
Shen Mo and Shen Ziming were also carrying quite a few things.
After the distribution was completed, Chen's mother picked up the things at her feet, straightened her back, and walked towards the retirement compound.
Along the way, under the watchful eyes of the neighbors in the retirement compound, Mother Shen walked at the very front, exuding an imposing aura.
In this retirement compound, everyone is actually living a pretty good life.
But the three families that are doing the best are the Shen, Xu, and He families. The elders of these three families have laid the foundation, and the younger generation is also very promising. They are quite different from those who are only one generation ahead of them.
Everyone is familiar with the "three turns and one sound" that are popular for weddings these days.
Seeing what they were carrying, the old men and women stared intently at them.
Someone couldn't help but step forward and ask Chen's mother, "Little Qin, is your family having a happy occasion?"
Mother Shen smiled and replied, "Yes, my son Ziming is getting married to Xiaojin."
Mother Shen responded with a smug look on her face as she walked ahead, and the people following behind instantly realized what was going on.
No wonder Mother Shen insisted that they carry their things home; that's why.
Mr. Shen shook his head helplessly. Rumors about his son had been circulating in the compound for so long.
Their explanations were useless.
Although no one says it outright, it's been circulating behind people's backs.
Later, when Shen Ziming's research institute was featured on the national news, the unpleasant comments from the institute gradually disappeared.
Nevertheless, Mother Shen had been holding this grudge in her heart.
After they got home, the people in the compound started whispering among themselves.
"The Shen family is quite remarkable. Both of their sons are outstanding figures in their respective fields, their daughter is a college student, and their daughter-in-law is even more remarkable."
"That's right. One of them is frequently in the news and even appears on the evening news, while the other has a big reputation in the hospital. They'll start a fight at the drop of a hat. Who would dare to mess with the Shen family?"
Even for those in the retirement compound, being featured in the newspapers and on television is a remarkable achievement.
"Our family isn't destined for that."
"I never imagined that the Shen and Xu families would become in-laws. The Xu family must know that Shen Ziming's health is not good. Could it be that the rumors were true? Shen Ziming is not impotent?"
"I think it's probably true. Didn't the Shen family clarify before that even if it didn't work before, their daughter-in-law, who has excellent medical skills, cured it? What kind of serious illness could be cured like that?"
When Jiang Ning and the others returned home, they were unaware that the discussion had already begun in the retirement compound.

Hey everyone, could you give me some free flowers?
