"That's about it. I just came to inform you. Anyway, my mother has agreed to this matter. It's useless for you to have any opinions, unless you want me to be an old maid for the rest of my life. As for the dowry, you can give it to me. My mother still has half of it. At least the daughter of the eldest wife can't be raised less than the young wife."
Ruan Kenan seemed to be unaware of how much of a sensation his words had caused. He spoke a long string of words to the old man with a cold face.
"I'm going home now. Will you come home with me?" She said to herself and without waiting for Ruan Jingguo to respond, she turned to Huo Wu and asked.
Huo Wu paused suspiciously for a second, looked at her, and shook his head.
"Then I'll be leaving first. Tomorrow you can come and formally meet my mother, and then the matter will be settled." Ruan Kenan had no objection. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and left in a leisurely manner.
I came quietly, just as I leave quietly, waving my sleeves, without taking a cloud with me. Jiang Yiliu stared at Ruan Kenan's actions in amazement, wanting only to shout out his admiration. He looked at Ruan Jingguo's face, and it seemed that Ruan Kenan was very angry. He pointed at her back with his finger and was speechless for a long time.
"This kid, this kid is going to piss me off to death."
Ruan Jingguo watched his eldest daughter come home in a hurry to talk about such an important matter, and then leave in a hurry, leaving the "son-in-law" at home. It seems that marriage is such a casual thing. Ruan Jingguo looked at Huo Wu. He stayed in the inland for so many years to protect the third child, and he has always been loyal. He has not even married at this age. He is a good person, so this marriage must be forced by his eldest daughter who is the reincarnation of the devil.
"I don't know how my elder sister taught Mu Ning. She is already this old, but she has no manners at all. She actually spoke to you like this. Moreover, she didn't even discuss this important matter of marriage with her parents and elders. She just decided it in private. Don't you have the reserve that a girl should have?"
Seeing that the old man was angry, Cai Shaoyun quickly added fuel to the fire. Her little calculations had not succeeded all day today. Fortunately, that stupid Ruan Mu Ning did this, and she could take the opportunity to put some eye drops on the other side.
"Hmph, your elder sister doesn't need you to teach her how to discipline her daughter." Ruan Jingguo was not stupid, so how could he not hear the implication of her words? He snorted coldly, and his anger not only did not rise, but gradually subsided.
Cai Shaoyun, who was scolded, curled his lips while lowering his head and stopped talking. Xue Ning's daughter found a servant, and she was so happy that she finally had a place to strengthen her country.
Ruan Jingguo thought of Xue Ning and his daughter's knot in his heart. He felt that he, as a father, was sorry for his daughter, as she had not married at her age.
Ruan Jingguo looked at Huo Wu intently, then let out a breath as if in compromise, and bent his straight back slightly: "What's going on with you and Mu Ning, no, that girl Kenan?" He didn't quite believe that his daughter, who refused to get married at all costs, would just find someone to marry so easily and casually.
If it was so easy to change her stubborn temper, he would have a grandson by now.
"Xiao Kenan and I fell in love at first sight. She is a very nice girl, lively and cheerful, with a generous personality. I like her very much." Huo Wu paused and answered expressionlessly. As he thought about the woman who didn't look like a woman, he felt that what he said was against his will.
Graceful, lively and cheerful?
Everyone saw Ruan Kenan with a shaved head, wearing a motorcycle leather jacket or loose casual clothes every day, with a temper worse than firecrackers and a tendency to fight at the slightest provocation. They all thought that Huo Wu might have some problem with his eyes, which was why he saw such beautiful words in Ruan Kenan.
Ruan Jingguo was choked by Huo Wu's words. He didn't believe what the man opposite him said at all, but he really couldn't think of any other reason for the two of them to get married except that they were attracted to each other.
"Forget it. That child has a bad temper. You should give in to her more when you are together in the future. Since you have decided to be with Kenan, go back to the inland to complete the formalities and then stay with me to work." Ruan Jingguo sighed. Fortunately, his daughter chose Huo Wu, a boy who was at least reliable in character. He didn't have to worry about her second half of life.
But? Ruan Jingguo looked at his third brother. Huo Wu had taken care of him like a son over the years. Without Huo Wu by his side, would he be unable to adapt?
Ruan Yuanjiang shook his head: "I have long wanted Huo Wu to find a partner. I didn't expect that he and that kid Kenan would hit it off. They are both good kids, so I can rest assured. As for me, I have a nanny at home, and Xiaobao often comes to see me, so you don't have to worry about me."
Ruan Yuanjiang still had some doubts in his heart, but he was embarrassed to mention it in front of everyone.
At today's dinner, although no one from the first wife showed up, they still won a great victory. The second and third wives were both reprimanded and warned by the old man, both openly and covertly, and at least they behaved themselves for a short period of time.
Looking at Huo Wu who was ordered by the old man to stay by his side and work for him, Cai Shaoyun's eyes turned red with jealousy. Her family was also relatives of the Ruan family, but the master was wary of them like thieves. Ruan Muning, a disrespectful married woman who always contradicted the master, not only held a large amount of the Ruan family's assets, but now the master actually ordered her to find a partner casually and keep working by his side.
The eldest wife was getting more and more aggressive, leaving them no chance of survival. The bright red dankou bit into her flesh, but Cai Shaoyun didn't feel any pain at all. She looked at Huo Wu, whom she had never taken seriously since they met today, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Although Jiang Yilu is very smart and Ruan Yuanjiang trusts him very much, his age is there after all, and the old man will avoid him in some things, like at night, he pulled Huo Wu into the room and talked all night, and coaxed Jiang Yilu to go to bed early. When Jiang Yilu woke up, he didn't know what they talked about. He just saw that Uncle Huo Wu looked relaxed, but there was a trace of solemnity and guilt between Grandpa Ruan's brows.
"When I'm gone, you have to take good care of grandpa. Also, remember to remind Guangpiao and Tiezhu, especially Tiezhu, not to lose their skills while I'm gone. I'll go back to the mainland to see you guys if I have the chance. If any of you fail, I'll punish you severely."
Huo Wu pushed open the door and saw Jiang Yilu who was also opening the door and looking straight at him and said with a smile.
"Uncle Dawu, who are you?" Jiang Yilu couldn't ask. It was just love at first sight. This was too unreliable. Uncle Dawu was already this old, how could he still have such passion?
"That's fine. She's fine, and I'm fine too. This is just right."
Huo Wu did not answer Jiang Yiliu's question directly, but just told him that this was the best choice. As soon as Jiang Yiliu heard this, he knew that there must be some other reason.
I was just thinking like Uncle Da Wu said, maybe it really is fate. One of them is still single and the other is still unmarried, and they are both almost old enough to be grandparents. Maybe it is really destined.
Jiang Yilu thought that God would bless these two kind people.
"Time is tight, but courtesy is important. You and Uncle Ruan will accompany me to buy some gifts later. They will be useful when we meet Aunt Xue."
Huo Wu is a rough but thoughtful man. Since he has decided to be with Ruan Kenan, he naturally takes her to heart. Even though the other party didn't say something, it doesn't mean he doesn't have to do it.
They are already at this age, so they don't plan to hold a wedding, but the betrothal gift cannot be missed. After doing the math, there is still a lot of things to do today. Huo Wu is glad that he brought a lot of money this time, otherwise he wouldn't know how to prepare a decent gift.
During this morning, they visited several famous shops in Hong Kong under the guidance of the driver sent by Ruan Jingguo, and finally put together a decent gift. Jiang Yiliu also took this opportunity to learn the route, which would come in handy when he secretly went out to purchase.
The driver this time was not the same one who came to pick them up at the border last time. He was very quiet, which made their ears a lot quieter.
******
Although the matter between Huo Wu and Ruan Kenan caught everyone off guard, since both of them were sure of each other, the matter was settled. At that time, he only had to go back to the inland to handle the relevant immigration procedures.
In the following days, in addition to cultivating feelings with Ruan Ruan, supervising the start-up of Ruan Congzhao's company, screening some scripts that he thought were good, and encouraging him to buy the copyright of a series of books by Master Jin Yong in advance, he also bought Gu Zhaofeng's novel The Bund... The copyrights of these novels were relatively cheap, at least compared to the income he brought, it was extremely cost-effective.
Ruan Congzhao complained a little. After all, he wanted to make movies, not TV series. The popularity of TV series was far less than that of later generations, and he could not see a way to make money. Especially for the copyrights of Jin Yong's novels, because the novels were so popular, the other party asked for a very high price and made a lot of requirements. Ruan Congzhao wanted to walk away at that time, but Jiang Yiliu and Ruan Ruan persuaded him to buy it.
Jiang Yiliu knew the value of those books, and Ruan Ruan was just agreeing with Jiang Yiliu. Ruan Congzhao was really heartbroken for a long time after spending such a large sum of money. Fortunately, the old man kept his word and transferred the film company to his name, which made him feel a little better. Otherwise, he would probably regret finding such a troublesome partner. Of course, a few years later, he will be very glad for his decision today.
Jiang Yiliu also knew that there were many film and television scripts that were bound to be popular, even though they had not been written yet, and those phenomenal novels, he could also write them almost exactly, but he didn't do it after all. Those things were the hard work of others, even if those people didn't know it yet, he might take a completely different path in the future because of those things, but Jiang Yiliu still felt guilty.
He is neither pretentious nor hypocritical. Even after being reborn, he still has his own principles on what he can and cannot do. He is willing to make friends with those who may soar to success in the future for the sake of a better life. He can also rely on the golden finger of rebirth to know what will appreciate in value in the future and what can be resold to accumulate wealth.
He would rather take more detours than be reborn as a thief. This was the plan Jiang Yilu set for himself at the beginning of his rebirth.
In addition to selecting novels and scripts, Jiang Yilu is also busy with one big thing, which is shopping.
As expected, the best way to vent is crazy shopping. Although Jiang Yilu has changed his personality in this life, he still can't escape this habit. In his previous life, he had no money and had to compare prices when he wanted to buy something. In this life, he has money in his hands, so of course he can spend as much as he wants.
Color TVs, buy, buy, buy; single-door and double-door large refrigerators, buy, buy, buy; washing machines, radios, high-end watches... As long as it is a valuable item that is in short supply in the mainland, Jiang Yiliu has only one word in his mind: buy!
In just over ten days, while no one was paying attention, Jiang Yilu had almost filled up all the empty shelves in the Space Supermarket. At the same time, in addition to the 700,000 yuan he invested in Ruan Congzhao's film company from the lottery win, he spent all the remaining tens of thousands of yuan, together with his savings, and he became a pauper again.
However, Jiang Yilu knew clearly that once he went back and sold these things, he would be able to make many times the profit. He only regretted that he did not have that much money and had wasted such an opportunity.
Jiang Yilu stared at the color TVs on the shelves, comforted himself not to be too greedy, thought about the space full of goods, and finally left with satisfaction.
******
Fifteen days passed in a flash, and it was time to say goodbye again. When passing through the customs, the luggage of Jiang Yiluo and others was carefully opened and inspected by the soldiers at the checkpoint, and they said their final goodbyes to their families.
"Brother Xiaobao, you must remember to come visit me with Grandpa every New Year. And bring your eldest sister, second sister, third sister, and fourth sister here too if they have time."
Ruan Ruan reluctantly pulled Jiang Yilu's sleeve, tears in her eyes but she didn't dare let them fall.
"Don't worry, when the policy is relaxed in the future, I will come to see you often with Grandpa, and you can come to see us often." Jiang Yilu thought that in a year or two, the trade between the mainland and Hong Kong City would become more frequent, and the exchanges between the two places would be easier. Ruan Congzhao planned to shoot a movie in the mainland next year, and negotiations were already underway. Then they could meet again.
"Grandpa, you have to take good care of yourself, Brother Xiaobao, please watch over Grandpa, don't let Grandpa get angry with Uncle and the others." Ruan Ruan bit her lower lip, she knew that those people would never let Grandpa go, they wanted to bite off a piece of meat. Now Uncle Da Wu is coming to Hong Kong City, can Grandpa handle them alone?
"Don't worry, I will make a report when I get back and apply to teach at a university in the capital. I won't go back to Haicheng for the time being." Ruan Yuanjiang touched his granddaughter's head. All the familiar people were in the capital. What was the point of him staying in Haicheng alone? Going to the capital would be just right for him to keep Lao Bai company.
"Then you must be well and think of me every day. You can't forget me." Ruan Ruan bit her lip and said with coaxing eyes.
"No matter who I forget, I will never forget my baby." Ruan Yuanjiang smiled and tapped her nose.
Ruan Ruan looked at Jiang Yilu intently, wanting to hear his answer.
"Okay, okay, I think about it while I eat, dream, and whenever I have free time." Jiang Yilu thought that this was just a child's act of pampering, so he answered without thinking.
"That's more like it." Ruan Ruan's face turned red and she hid behind Ruan Kenan with a smile.
Ruan Yuanjiang looked at his granddaughter's shy appearance, then looked at Jiang Yilu's doting eyes, and the thought in his heart deepened.
"It's time, Third Uncle, have a pleasant journey." Ruan Kenan hid his beloved niece behind him unnoticeably, blocking her from the sight of the pretty boy in her heart. No, now she has to add another prefix, a slick pretty boy.
"Come back when you finish your work." Ruan Kenan said to Huo Wu seriously.
"I know." Huo Wu also answered seriously. If you didn't know, you would think that the two were discussing business matters.
Now they were really going to separate. Ruan Ruan watched their figures gradually disappear at the checkpoint before she left following her aunt's persuasion. She had endured for so long, but the moment she turned around, tears suddenly flowed down her face.
