He Chenglin found his daughter's words very reasonable and was happy that she was sensible. "Yuhan is right. We really shouldn't be too high-profile. I understand Yixian's idea of giving Yuhan a grand wedding. I know you don't want to make Yuhan feel wronged, but we need to be careful in every way at this time."
Especially given your current position, Yixian, if you hold a grand and extravagant wedding, people will think you're wasteful. Don't forget that most people are still starving. Where will you get the money for your wedding? People will suspect that your money is of dubious origin. Will your enemies use this opportunity to attack you? We have to take all of these factors into account.
My position is also very sensitive. Even now, while I'm recovering from my illness, some people are already eyeing this position. If we make the slightest mistake, it could become a weapon for them to attack us. We'll be in a very passive position.
I think you did consider these things, but you were afraid that we would feel that you were making Yuhan feel wronged.
We're not that shallow. As long as you treat Yuhan well in the future, we won't care about temporary gains or losses.
Han Yixian felt incredibly fortunate, not only because the girl he was going to marry was understanding and considerate, but also because his parents-in-law were so reasonable and considerate. He was deeply moved. He and Yuhan would take good care of them in the future and ensure that their efforts were not in vain.
He said sincerely, "Uncle, thank you for your understanding and support. Yuhan is more important to me than anything else, and I will love her more than myself. You can see from my actions in the future."
He Chenglin nodded and said to He Yuhan, "Yuhan, although Dad supports your idea of keeping the wedding simple, Dad will make up for it with your dowry. I won't let you really keep it simple. We owe you too much. No amount of dowry from Dad is too much. It's just that some things are best left to us family. Don't worry about the superficial glamour."
He Yuhan quickly said, "Dad, there's no such thing as owing anyone to a family. I really don't care about these things. As long as our family is safe, sound, happy, and joyful, that's more important than anything else."
You don't need to give me any additional dowry. To be honest, I'm quite wealthy. I've earned a lot from these recent sales, so you don't need to provide any more. You should leave more for my older brothers; they'll need to get married in the future.”
Han Yixian quickly added, "Uncle, although the wedding has been simplified, I will still make up for the betrothal gifts I gave to Yuhan. I plan to go back to Kyoto after the New Year to retrieve the things my grandfather left me, and then use them as betrothal gifts for Yuhan."
He Yuhan knew that Han Yixian's grandfather must have left him a lot of things, how could he give them all to her as betrothal gifts? She patted Han Yixian and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What would I need so many betrothal gifts for?"
Han Yixian said with a smile, "From now on, all the things in the house will be in your care. They're all yours."
He Chenglin said to Han Yixian, "No matter how much betrothal gift you give Yuhan, we won't keep a single bit. Yuhan can keep it all herself. You two can discuss it yourselves. We won't interfere."
The future is yours to live, so you need to be tolerant of each other and discuss things together so that you can live a harmonious and happy life.
Han Yixian said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely put Yuhan first in everything."
After Yuhan and I get married, you two can live with us. I'm all alone now, and it'll just be the two of us in the future, so it'll be more lively for you two to live with us. Yuhan and I will take care of you in your old age.”
Yu Huiru listened silently the whole time. Although she was a woman, she was quite knowledgeable and agreed with what her husband and daughter said. They shouldn't risk endless troubles for the sake of temporary glory.
As long as Han Yixian treats his daughter well, that's better than anything else.
She said, "Since you two have already discussed it, we support you. We, the older generation, have no other requests, we just hope that you will have a harmonious life together in the future."
We don't need you to support us; Zhenhua and his brother will take care of us in our old age. But if we miss Yuhan, we can come and stay with you. Just don't look down on us then.
He Yuhan sat next to her mother, hugging her arm, and said, "Mom, how could we possibly look down on you? Didn't you say you'd be helping us take care of our children in the future? We'd love to welcome you!"
"From now on, it'll just be the two of us at home. You're welcome to come and stay whenever you want."
Yu Huiru gently patted her daughter's hand and said sadly, "We just found you and you're getting married soon. Mom really can't bear to part with you."
Your father and I have a son, and it's not practical for us to always live with our daughter and son-in-law. Please come home to visit your father and me whenever you have time.
He Yuhan put her arm around her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, we live in the same city, and we're so close. I'll definitely go back to see you often. You and Dad can also come and stay at home for a few days whenever you have time. If we can stay at both places, no one will say anything, right?"
Han Yixian added from the side, "In the future, Yuhan and I will go to the compound whenever we have time, so that Yuhan can come home and stay there when she has nothing to do. It's not much different from her not being married."
Han Yixian is now worried that his mother-in-law's sadness might affect He Yuhan and make her regret her decision, or that postponing the wedding would be troublesome.
He was still looking forward to the day when he could finally have a warm bed with his wife and children.
Having agreed to Han Yixian and He Yuhan's marriage, He Chenglin and his wife began consulting the Chinese almanac to see when it was an auspicious time for the wedding. They also discussed how to arrange the wedding and who to invite.
The couple also needed to consider what dowry to give their daughter. They had been separated from their daughter for over a decade, causing her so much suffering, and they wanted to make it up to her. They had long planned to give her a generous dowry when she got married.
