Chen Jiali would never be that kind of person.
After everything was discussed openly, Chen Jiali and Zhao Dabao's relationship was settled. Dabao's mother was overjoyed and found an auspicious day to have the matchmaker come to propose marriage. The wedding was set for the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
When Chen Jiali and Xu Meijun came to visit Ye Weiwei again, Ye Weiwei congratulated them properly.
Although Chen Jiali was a little shy, she was clearly very happy.
Xu Meijun rolled her eyes: "Just congratulate her, what do I have to congratulate? The engagement is off."
Ye Weiwei laughed and said, "Congratulations on successfully avoiding a pit of fire!"
Xu Meijun thought for a moment and said, "That's true! I heard from my younger brother that they had to compensate my family quite a bit for breaking off the engagement."
At first, the man's family refused to agree to annul the engagement. Later, her younger brother was clever and had someone catch the scumbag having an affair with her cousin. Once the scandal was exposed, the family had nothing to say and had no choice but to obediently annul the engagement.
“I never imagined that their family would be like that. I used to think they were a nice family. This incident has made my family see their true colors. My mother said that she feels a chill whenever she thinks about almost marrying me into that kind of family.”
Ye Weiwei: "You can know a person's face but not their heart. You can't tell a person's character until you encounter them in a situation."
Xu Meijun wholeheartedly agreed.
"Now I feel that even introductions from family members aren't reliable, and I still have to find a partner myself."
Chen Jiali muttered softly, "I think Hou Zheng treats you quite well."
Xu Meijun glared at her, annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense! How has he been good to me? He's clearly the same to everyone."
Chen Jiali gave a soft hum, but under Xu Meijun's warning gaze, she dared not say anything more.
Don't think she can't tell; ever since she learned that Xu Meijun and her fiancé broke up, Hou Zheng has been in a particularly good mood lately.
On their last day off, when the four of them went to town, Hou Zheng treated them to braised pork and big meat buns at a state-run restaurant, and kept piling meat onto Xu Meijun's plate.
Hou Zheng roasted the rabbits he got from the mountain and gave Xu Meijun the two fattest rabbit legs, leaving her and Xie Ning to only look on with envy.
Ye Weiwei thought about how the four of them used to come to her house together, but these past few times it had been Xu Meijun and Chen Jiali who came together. Seeing Xu Meijun's obvious discomfort, what else could she not understand?
Hou Zheng and Xu Meijun... are actually quite a good match.
At least these two share the same values and get along perfectly.
As the days passed and her parents returned to Beijing, she hadn't received any news from them. Ye Weiwei had been feeling quite restless these past few days, thinking of asking Huo Xiao to inquire about the situation when he returned.
Huo Xiao returned that afternoon, bringing two other people with him.
"Mom! Third Brother!"
When Ye Weiwei saw her mother and third brother Ye Huaiyu, she happily rushed over and hugged them both, "Why are you here?"
After saying that, he looked back and asked, "Where are my dad and my older brother? Why didn't they come with me?"
When Ye Weiwei asked about Ye's father, Ye's mother snorted and feigned displeasure, saying, "What? You don't welcome me and your third brother?"
Third Brother Ye Huaiyu immediately gave Ye Weiwei a wink.
Ye Weiwei quickly hugged her mother's arm in a flattering manner: "How could that be! I've been counting down the days, waiting for your news! I thought I wouldn't see you until the New Year, but I didn't expect you to come here. I'm so happy!"
Mother Ye wasn't really angry; upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Let me see my three little grandsons."
Ye Huaiyu also said, "Mom has been talking about it all the way here, so hurry up and take us to see the child."
Ye Weiwei quickly took her mother's arm and beckoned her third brother, Ye Huaiyu, into the house.
When Ye's mother saw the three little ones lying side by side on the bed, tears of joy streamed down her face, and she kept praising them.
“I never expected my Weiwei to be so capable, she gave birth to triplets, a son and a daughter.”
Huo Xiao put down the luggage the two had brought, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Weiwei. She's a great contributor to our family! It's just that she had to give birth to three at once, so it must have been tough for her."
Hearing this, Ye's mother felt incredibly comforted, and she grew to like Huo Xiao more and more.
This son-in-law is not only capable and responsible, but also not old-fashioned. He values his family, dotes on his wife, and most importantly, is handsome. He's perfect in every way, making it impossible not to like him.
Ye Huaiyu snorted and thought to himself that this old man was good at sweet talk and that's how he managed to win over the young girl.
The arrival of Ye's mother and third brother not only made Ye Weiwei extremely happy, but also delighted Liu Guilan, who wished she could bring out all the good things in the house to entertain the two of them.
Ye's mother and Liu Guilan hit it off immediately, calling each other "sister" affectionately. They talked about embarrassing things their son did when he was a child, and Liu Guilan talked about funny things their daughter did when she was a child. They praised their son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then praised their three little grandchildren. It seemed like they had endless things to talk about.
Ye Huaiyu couldn't stand seeing the two of them together. He had never known his mother was so talkative, and he never thought she was a talkative person.
Ye Weiwei was quite understanding.
After all, it's normal for a person's personality to change somewhat after the incident at home and the experience in the Northwest.
Moreover, she could tell that her mother was genuinely grateful to her mother-in-law, Liu Guilan. The two were of similar age, got along well, and had many common topics to talk about, so it was normal for them to be affectionate.
Little Star was initially disappointed when he didn't see his father, but when he heard his grandmother and uncle say that they could take him back to see his father and grandfather when they went back, he immediately packed his little bag, wishing he could sprout wings and fly back.
Ye Weiwei found it amusing and deliberately teased him, pretending to be sad, "So Little Star hates his aunt so much that he doesn't want to be with her at all."
Little Star paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head like a rattle drum: "No! Little Star likes Auntie!"
"Then why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Little Star's face was full of worry: "I have to hurry back to protect Daddy! Great-Grandma is so fierce, and Second Grandpa and Second Grandma are bad people. They will bully my daddy! Little Star knows kung fu now, he's a little man now, I'm going to beat them to a pulp so they'll never dare to bully us again!"
Upon hearing her eldest grandson's words, Ye's mother's eyes suddenly reddened, and she hugged Xiaoxing tightly in her arms.
"My little star has grown up, it's amazing!"
Ye Huaiyu stepped forward and vigorously rubbed Xiaoxing's head, "You little rascal, well done!"
