Chapter 420: Double Marriage
After returning to Hai City, Liu Dan secretly inquired about Han Shurui and unexpectedly learned that he was buying a house. He thought that he must have opened an online store to make money, so he forced his son Han Shujun to open an online store as well.
Han Shujun frowned after hearing what his mother said. "Mom, don't think about it. I have a stable job now and don't want to run an online store. Also, Lele and I really want to get married. You and Dad have to help me with the gift."
Liu Dan was angry when she heard that her son didn't want to open an online store, but when she heard that he was going to get married, she grinned and said, "Oh, good to get married. I will definitely give you the betrothal gift. Didn't Lele's parents say before, 58,000, right? Here, the house has been bought, and her family should do the decoration."
Han Shujun was unhappy when he heard this, "Mom, how can you let the woman decorate the house? At most, she can pay for some home appliances."
"But we bought this house in full,"
"But you didn't add her name. Lele was already unhappy, and you asked her to pay for the renovation. She will definitely be angry."
"Hey, how can we add her name? This is all our own money. What if you two can't make it together in the future, won't we have to give her half? That would be the end of us." Liu Dan was considering whether the house could be kept in case his daughter-in-law asked for a divorce.
Han Shixin couldn't stand hearing this, so he interrupted his wife and said, "Liu Dan, you don't know how to talk. You're not even married yet, and you're already thinking about divorce. That's unlucky. Come on, Shujun, don't test us about adding your name to the house. That won't work. We'll provide the decoration, and you can do the furniture and appliances yourself. That should be fine, right?"
Han Shujun's thoughts were exposed, and he touched his nose and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, I'll go find Lele. We'll pick a good day to get the marriage certificate and then have the wedding." After saying that, he ran away.
Liu Dan watched her son run away and complained to her husband unhappily, "Look at your son. He has a wife and has forgotten his mother. We can't count on him anymore."
Han Shixin glanced at his wife and replied coldly, "My parents have three sons and they can't even rely on them. You only have one son and you want to rely on him for your old age? You're dreaming!"
"Hey, you," Liu Dan pointed at her husband. She was just complaining casually, so why did he end up getting involved?
"Isn't it? Now you say you don't want to live with us. The new house is also theirs. Do you want to take us over to take care of you when you are old?"
Han Shixin thought it through clearly. If it was like this when they were young, it wouldn't be much better when they got old.
"I," Liu Dan opened her mouth. When she thought about her son's worthless appearance, it was hard to say whether he would listen to his wife. Besides, Liu Lele was an only child, and her parents would definitely rely on her for their old age. In this case, it seemed that she and her husband might not be able to rely on her.
"Oh, that's not right. My son can't be relied upon. I still have my daughter. She is caring and Yaoyao will definitely not ignore us." Liu Dan cheered up at once.
At this time, Han Shuyao, who was leaning against the door of the room, opened the door and walked out, saying with a smile: "Mom, I will definitely not ignore you and Dad. But I have to be able to take care of you. You see, after I graduate, I have to make money to buy a house, and I may not be able to take care of you. Of course, as for the elderly, you must be the main force and I will be the auxiliary."
Han Shixin couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing what his daughter said, "Main force, auxiliary, do you think you're playing a game? Your mother and I worked so hard to raise you two, and now you have no one to rely on when you get old."
"Hey, Dad, I don't like what you said. Look, you and mom bought a house for my eldest brother, and prepared a betrothal gift. It will cost a lot of money to decorate the house, and I guess you will also pay for the wedding banquet. What about me, I have nothing, and then you let me bear all the responsibilities for my old age. Do you think it's appropriate?" Han Shuyao didn't really ignore her parents, she just wanted to force them.
Liu Dan patted her daughter who was walking towards her. "Don't your father and I provide you with food and clothing? Aren't your college tuition and living expenses all paid by us? And yet you're saying you have nothing. How can that be justified?"
Han Shuyao curled her lips, "Isn't it the same for my eldest brother? Besides, Mom, have you ever seen a family with a son whose daughter takes care of the elderly? And all the things are returned to the son."
Han Shixin could see that his daughter came prepared today, so he raised his chin towards her and asked, "So what do you want? We buy you a house too? I have to tell you in advance that we have no money."
Han Shuyao waved her hand and sat down next to her father. Her eyes sparkled as she whispered, "Dad, how come you don't have money? I actually have another good idea. That's to let my eldest brother and his wife get married at the same time."
"Double-end marriage? What does that mean?" Liu Dan asked first.
"Mom, I don't want to get married. You have prepared a wedding room for my eldest brother, so the decoration will be done by the woman's side. Since it's a double marriage, there's no need to give a bride price. Won't we have money this way?" Han Shuyao has a classmate whose brother is in a double marriage, and his sister-in-law is also an only child. She thinks this is a good idea.
Liu Dan objected immediately after hearing this: "No, that won't work. Isn't this marrying into the wife's family? No, no, why would you let your elder brother marry into the wife's family? You damn girl, you are willing to harm your elder brother just for your own sake. You are really evil-hearted."
"Mom," Han Shuyao rolled her eyes at her mother and continued to explain, "It's either marrying into the wife's family or a double marriage. Go out and ask around. This is very common in families with only one daughter."
"Why isn't it marrying into the wife's family? Then let me ask you, whose surname will the child born in the future take?" Liu Dan asked sharply.
"That's not difficult. The first child will take the boy's surname, and the second will take the girl's surname!" Han Shuyao replied.
"Haha, you make it sound simple. Now we are only allowed to have one child. What about the second one? Are you writing a blank check?" Liu Dan thought that his daughter was just daydreaming. What kind of fool could do such a thing? The Liu family would definitely not agree to it.
"Mom, this is the policy, yes, but aren't there people who steal their lives? This can all be solved."
"No, the Liu family will definitely not agree."
"It's hard to say. If we are willing to add Liu Lele's name to the house, and the second child's surname is Liu, they might really agree." Han Shixin suddenly said.
"What do you mean? What if the house is divided into half?"
"Hey, listen to me, I have heard of this double marriage. Look, if it is a double marriage, we can save 58,000 yuan from the betrothal gift, and there is also money for decorating the house, which is at least 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. So let's count it as 120,000 yuan here. The total price of our house is 420,000 yuan, and half of it is 210,000 yuan. With this calculation, don't we lose 80,000 or 90,000 yuan?"
After Han Shixin made this calculation, Liu Dan also hesitated. It seemed that he could save some money. At least his family would not have to invest another hundred thousand yuan.
"Yes, Mom, Dad is right. Use the money you save to buy me a house, and then I will support you like your brother." Humph, it was her eldest brother who said before that she was a money-loser and that all the money in the family was his. She wanted to see how Han Shujun could still be so arrogant this time.
Liu Dan rolled his eyes at his daughter and said, "Don't even think about it. One hundred thousand is not enough for you to buy a house."
"No, Mom, give me the money. I have a way. I can always take out a loan!" Han Shuyao was afraid that the duck at the end of the tunnel would fly away, so she quickly grabbed her parents, thinking that she would settle the matter today.
"You don't want to pay back the loan? You're still in school, who's going to pay the monthly mortgage?"
"Can't I pay it back myself? You don't have to worry about it anyway." Han Shuyao has saved a lot of money since she was a child, plus the red envelopes given to her by relatives when she was admitted to university, so she has the confidence to say this.
