Chapter 337 Marriage Proposal

Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan were not surprised that Fu Nanzheng and Yue Sizhu finally reconciled.

However, when Yue Sizhu found out that Xia Juanjuan was actually Fu Nanzheng's sister, she was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

Fu Nanzheng briefly mentioned that Xia Juanjuan was the long-lost daughter of the Fu family. Yue Sizhu sighed after hearing this.

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Sister Yue, no... from now on, you should call me sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I'm sorry that Li Zhan and I didn't tell you in advance about the relationship between us and Third Brother. Sister-in-law, you won't blame us, right?"

Yue Sizhu blushed when she was called sister-in-law, and said shyly: "How could it be? I can't thank you enough! If it weren't for you and Captain Li saving me several times, I would have died in Wu Yun's hands. Nan Zheng would not have heard from me, and we would have been reconciled as before..."

Fu Nanzheng apologized: "I came too late. If I had come earlier, you wouldn't have been bullied by that Wu Yun..."

Yue Sizhu held his hand and said, "If you want to continue, it's me who has been returning your letters and packages. It's me who has been keeping you at a distance."

At this point she suddenly asked, "By the way, in the past few years, someone has been secretly selling me food, cotton, cloth and other supplies at low prices at the market. Was that person... arranged by you?"

Fu Nanzheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little guilty. That must have been arranged by Luo Cheng.

"Is there anyone as good as you? You are just lucky..."

Yue Sizhu looked at him suspiciously and said, "But when others asked him to buy something, he only sold it at a high price. And once he let it slip that he mentioned the Fu family or something. When I asked him again, he refused to tell me."

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister-in-law, who else could it be if not him? Don't listen to his nonsense."

Fu Nanzheng glared at Xia Juanjuan and said in a low voice: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Xia Juanjuan blinked her eyes and said, "Third brother, you have to acknowledge it when it's time. You can't always be an unknown hero. I heard Luo Cheng say it once before. He originally sent the things over, but some people took the credit and showed their kindness. Later, he changed the method and asked people to sell them at the market at a low price."

Fu Nanzheng frowned: "Is there anything else?"

Yue Sizhu was also stunned for a moment, and said, "That Wu Yun was so kind before, he did take some food and cloth, and he also said that he asked someone to buy them from the mainland... Could it be those?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Nanzheng immediately got angry: "That turtle bastard! What kind of person is he! He chases his target and steals other people's things? This is too shameless! Lizhan, is he still locked up on the island? I'll beat him to a pulp! How shameless!"

Li Zhan quickly pulled him aside and said with a smile, "He has been taken to the mainland for trial."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "These things are in the past and don't matter anymore. But third brother, you said you want to marry my sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"

After hearing her question, Fu Nanzheng's expression couldn't help but become serious. He said, "I plan to take Sizhu back to Beijing directly, explain everything to my father and grandfather, and then file a report to apply for marriage."

Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan looked at each other.

As they guessed, Fu Nanzheng chose the most formal path, but also the path that would have the greatest impact on the Fu family and himself.

Yue Sizhu also knew that what Fu Nanzheng said, although seemingly ordinary, would actually cause a huge earthquake when put into practice.

Therefore, she pulled Fu Nanzheng and said, "Nanzheng, I don't think it's appropriate. I don't care about this status. As long as the two of us recognize each other, I don't care whether we get a marriage certificate or not!"

Fu Nanzheng heard this and immediately said, "How can that be possible! When I said I wanted to marry you, I wanted to marry you legitimately. How could I let you suffer such a great injustice?"

Li Zhan frowned and said, "Third brother, I think what sister-in-law said makes sense. If we really get married and get a marriage certificate in a grand manner, your work in the hospital and the Fu family will definitely be affected. I know you want to say that at worst you can sever your relationship with the Fu family - but if you really do this, how sad will Dad and Grandpa be?"

Fu Nanzheng also knew that what Li Zhan said was right, and couldn't help but sigh: "What should we do? Are we just going to do it secretly? How can this be fair to Sizhu?"

Xia Juanjuan spoke up at this time: "Third brother, since my sister-in-law has also said that she doesn't care about status, then I will simply suggest a compromise. What do you think? Let's talk to the elders of both families first, and then hold a low-key wedding. In this way, both parents will know and acquiesce. In the past, this would have been considered a marriage, right? As for the formal marriage certificate, let's not get it yet. Wait two or three years before getting it. How do you think?"

After hearing this, Yue Sizhu said without waiting for Fu Nanzheng to speak, "I think it's feasible. Nanzheng, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We can't let our whole family suffer because of our marriage, right? Let's do it this way! If you dare to object, I won't marry you!"

Fu Nanzheng's words were choked by Yue Sizhu's last sentence. Seeing that the odds were three to one, he had no choice but to agree.

Yue Sizhu stayed in the clinic for another day before returning by boat.

Fu Nanzheng, Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan also followed.

Fu Nanzheng has already sent a telegram home. Although he has not received a reply yet, Fu Weixin and Mr. Fu both know the reason why Fu Nanzheng has been single for so many years, so they probably won't object.

However, even if they replied by telegram to say they agreed, it would be impossible for them to come here in person.

Therefore, Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan, even though they were representatives of the Fu family, came to pay a formal visit to their in-laws' home.

Xia Juanjuan brought ten kilograms of rice, nine feet of red cloth, five kilograms of cotton, a five-kilogram sea fish, and a five-kilogram pork rib, which were considered the engagement gift from the Fu family.

In addition, Fu Nanzheng also paid two hundred yuan as a betrothal gift.

When my father-in-law and mother-in-law saw Fu Nanzheng for the first time, they were also stunned for a moment, but they immediately knew that Fu Nanzheng came for their daughter.

After asking, I found out that Fu Nanzheng was already the attending physician of the hospital. I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

What is their situation now? What is Fu Nanzheng's situation?

If Fu Nanzheng wanted to get married, the girls who wanted to marry him would probably line up all the way from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall!

But after all these years, he still remembered their young lady and has never married or had children!

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Uncle Yue and Aunt Yue, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you before that Fu Nanzheng is my third brother's business. I'm sorry. My third brother came all the way from Beijing. You two should be able to guess what his purpose is.

My sister-in-law... Sister Yue has already told my brother that the two of them have been together for seven years and are still single, so naturally they can't let go of each other. So they plan to get married.

That is, the marriage process may be a little unfair to Sister Yue. The two elders also know the current situation. If we apply for a formal marriage certificate, it will definitely have a big impact. So, can the elders of both families know that we can hold a low-key wedding first and wait two years before getting the certificate? "

After hearing this, the mother-in-law felt that her daughter had been wronged: "This... without a marriage certificate, is it considered a real marriage? Will the Fu family deny it in the future..."

"Mom!" Yue Sizhu couldn't help but shout when she heard what her mother said.

When her father-in-law heard what she said, he immediately scolded her, "Shut up!"

Then, he glanced at Yue Sizhu and Fu Nanzheng and said, "Sizhu and Nanzheng are not young anymore, and it's not easy for them. As parents, we are satisfied to see our children finally get married. Why should we care about this or that? Sizhu and Nanzheng agree, and we have no objection."

Xia Juanjuan heard that her father-in-law was reasonable, so she smiled and said, "We are relieved with your words, Uncle Yue. My father and grandfather are in Beijing and can't rush over, so Li Zhan and I, the two younger generations, came to discuss these matters, and Uncle Yue and Aunt Yue also forgave us."

As he spoke, he asked Li Zhan to bring the food, red cloth, fish and meat into the house and put them on the table.

Fu Nanzheng also took out two hundred yuan, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yue, Aunt Yue, I came to the island in a hurry and didn't bring much with me. This two hundred yuan is my filial piety to you two."

As soon as my father-in-law and mother-in-law saw it, they knew that the money and things must be the betrothal gift, so they accepted it without any hesitation.

My mother-in-law was surprised to see that they brought so many things and also two hundred yuan. This was not much more than what they had when they were in Beijing before.

It can be seen that even though their Yue family has fallen on such a small island, the boy from the Fu family has not treated his daughter with disrespect, so he no longer has any qualms about not getting the marriage certificate right away.

Everyone sat down to discuss the wedding.

Holding a wedding in Beijing is not very realistic for now.

Although Yue Sizhu was an educated youth who went to the countryside to work, she was registered on the island. It would definitely be inappropriate for her to follow Fu Nanzheng to Beijing.

So, we decided to handle it on the island, and as for Beijing, we would handle it after some time when we return to Beijing.

For the rest, just keep it as simple and low-key as possible.

Because of their status, the Yue family didn't have any good neighbors or friends on the island, so the family just had a meal together.

Xia Juanjuan's house has several bedrooms, which were originally intended to be used as rooms for the children when they grow up. She just happened to choose a room that was currently empty and temporarily decorated it as a new room.

At that time, Fu Nanzheng will take a boat from Kelp Island to Emerald Island, and then take a boat here with Yue Sizhu, which will be considered as the wedding procession.

The other details have also been discussed.

Fu Nanzheng had not taken much leave and had to hurry back, so he set the date for an auspicious day three days later.
