Chapter 109 Moving to a New House!
There were many things to add to the new house, and when Lu's mother excitedly went to see it, she found that the new house had everything except for bedding and blankets.
There were even two unopened new clothes in the closet.
There was something else Lu's mother didn't understand: "Sigh, these young people nowadays, really."
"If you want to move out, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"
Lu Xiangyang: "We almost couldn't bring up the roundabout way of saying it, let alone just say it directly, what would that be like?"
Lu's mother was almost driven to the brink of fainting by her unfilial son. She turned to Jiang Jiani and said, "Jiani, did you see that? For every one thing I say, this kid can come back and say three."
“If he does anything that makes you angry in the future, just tell me and I will stand up for you.”
She glared fiercely at Lu Xiangyang: "If I don't beat this kid until he's crying for his parents, I'm not Song Manchun."
It's much simpler for just the two of them, especially since they're newly married.
Jiang Haibing drove his van over and moved all their belongings there.
Yang Yuemei was both happy and puzzled about their new, large house: "Why did you decorate it like this? It's so bland."
"Other people's homes are decorated so beautifully, why don't you learn from them?"
Jiang Jianni said, "Renovating like other people does costs money, and we don't have enough."
"Mom, if you give me five thousand yuan, I'll go find a contractor right now to renovate my house just like other people's."
Yang Yuemei immediately fell silent.
She clearly distinguishes between the inside and the outside.
Once Jiang Jiani gets married, she belongs to another family.
There's no reason for me to spend my parents' money again.
Furthermore, when Jiang Jiani got married, she not only didn't withhold the bride price, but also gave her an extra two thousand yuan as a dowry, although more than one thousand of it was earned by Jiang Jiani herself.
Honestly, unless a family is extremely wealthy, what family would give so much dowry money to their daughter when she gets married?
Generally, it's considered quite generous for a girl's family to provide a dowry when she gets married.
Some families won't give their daughters a single penny as a bride price.
They've done more than enough as parents.
Besides, there are two children in school and one baby still breastfeeding at home.
Moreover, Jiang Jianni received a dowry when she got married, and Jiang Yanni will also need a dowry when she gets married in the future, otherwise she will be accused of favoritism.
Jiang Haiyang wants to get married and have children, and he'll need to buy a house after he has kids.
Dudu will also get married and have children in the future, and she will inevitably have to buy a house.
Just thinking about such a large sum of money made Yang Yuemei feel anxious and breathless.
Where would they be willing to give Jiang Jiani another sum of money for renovations?
Jiang Jianni pouted when she saw this: "Hmph, I knew you wouldn't be willing."
Yang Yuemei smiled awkwardly and made an excuse not to go with her while looking at houses, so as not to be scolded and criticized by this girl.
Lu's parents helped settle in and then left. It was the young couple's first day in their new home, and they didn't want to disturb them.
Yang Yuemei lingered until they had all left before whispering to Jiang Jiani, "I didn't dare say it when your mother-in-law was here."
“Come with me, let’s burn offerings.”
Jiang Jianni: "?? Burning offerings?"
She glanced at the square red cloth on the bed above the door: "Isn't this already there?"
Yang Yuemei scoffed: "This is just hanging up a red banner. What kind of offering is this? Offerings are meant to ask the gods to bless your family with harmony, peace, and tranquility for your children and grandchildren."
“Back when we moved into our new house, your father and I burned offerings secretly, for fear that people would find out and accuse us of practicing feudal superstition.”
"Just because we didn't burn offerings, your grandma started causing trouble for our family every few days."
"Although your mother-in-law seems nice, who knows if she might change? She has more than one son, Lu Xiangyang."
"What if the other sons get married and have children in the future, and the family shows favoritism towards the other sons and daughters-in-law?"
"Why don't we burn offerings and ask the gods to bless us?"
"Besides, you and Xiangyang have been married for several months now, and there hasn't been a single word from you."
"Maybe burning some offerings will make you pregnant right away."
Jiang Jiani then realized that Yang Yuemei was actually pressuring her to have a child in a roundabout way.
I was both amused and speechless.
Yang Yuemei specially chose a spot on the balcony, and after burning the offerings, she insisted on making Jiang Jiani kowtow several times: "Remember to come and burn offerings during the New Year next year."
She paused for a moment, then added, "I know you young people don't believe in this, but we just want peace of mind, right?"
Jiang Jiani was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
After everyone left, Jiang Jianni wandered around the new house, overjoyed.
The excitement didn't subside until I went to bed that night.
Lu Xiangyang hugged her and whispered in her ear, "It's just moving to a new house, and you're this happy?"
Jiang Jianni's ears itched from his breath, and she couldn't help but try to avoid his movements: "Hey, you don't understand."
Lu Xiangyang rolled her over, letting her lie face to face on top of him, and whispered as he nuzzled her, "You always say I don't understand this or that, but how can I understand if you don't tell me?"
Why don't you tell me in detail?
"Or shall we say it like this from now on?"
Jiang Jianni keenly noticed the change in his body, and suddenly felt a little hot and weak all over. She couldn't help but whimper, "You, what do you want to say?"
Lu Xiangyang chuckled softly, "What do you think of this explanation?"
Jiang Jianni wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Xiangyang started to take action.
Before long, Jiang Jiani knew what "saying it this way" meant.
Before falling asleep, she couldn't help but think that if that's the case, she could say more.

Legend Magazine
The editor-in-chief's eyes were bloodshot, and the office phone rang incessantly. He answered the calls frantically: "Five hundred more? Okay, okay, we have it, we have it."
"Two thousand? Sure, no problem."
After a while, the phone finally stopped ringing.
The editor-in-chief immediately summoned several editors:
"Have you asked? Why are so many people requesting extra shipments? What's going on?"
A young man with glasses pushed up his glasses and said slowly, "I asked a few people, and they all said that everyone is here to watch 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods'."
Several other editors nodded in agreement: "I asked too, and they were asking about 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods'."
"Yes, people say that 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods' is very good, and some people even wrote to ask if there is a sequel."
The editor-in-chief frowned: "The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods? That replacement 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods'? I remember it being written very poorly. Why is everyone here for 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods'? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
