Chapter 121 Let's Set the Date on March 18th
"Let me see."
Xia Xian took the red paper and looked at it.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although it is also considered a day before the New Year, it is too rushed and Xia Xian does not choose it.
As for the other three days, one is on a weekday, which is not chosen either. Her family probably can't take that many days off to come over. It would be more convenient on weekends, so she can have more time off and won't be so tired from going back and forth.
There are two dates left, one is March 18th and the other is May 1st. Both dates are good and she can choose either one. She will ask her family later.
Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng shared their initial ideas.
"Okay, then choose one of these two dates. If your family is not satisfied with these two dates and want to change them, that's fine. We can calculate another date."
Gao Shuang is very tolerant. After all, it is a marriage, and it must be discussed and negotiated, so that it can be happy.
"Okay, I'll call them later."
Xia Xian and Gao Shuang get along very well with each other. She doesn't feel nervous or pretentious. She can just be herself in front of them.
Apart from the slight awkwardness in the morning, she would not go out of her way to cater to them. On such an important day as her wedding, she would definitely ask her family first.
After dinner, Xia Xian went to make a phone call.
When Lei Juan heard about choosing a wedding date, she was stunned. These young people change their minds so quickly. Before Xia Xian went to Beijing, she swore that she and Quan Ruifeng had nothing to do with each other and that they would never be together. What was the result?
Not long after arriving in Beijing, she got engaged. Not long after getting engaged, she told her that she was getting married! She even found time to take the college entrance examination!
She didn't even know her daughter was capable of taking the college entrance exam! After all, Xia Xian only graduated from junior high school, not high school. Could she get into college?
But no matter what, this is a good thing. Xia Xian has become different after going to Beijing, but she is getting better step by step. As a mother, she is naturally happy to see it happen.
Lei Juan attributed Xia Xian's changes to Quan Ruifeng, and it was fortunate that she did so, otherwise she would have suspected that her daughter had become a different person.
She was even more satisfied with Quan Ruifeng because of this, and she agreed with both of them getting married, she said decisively.
"Then let's set it for March 18th. Your dad and I will each take two days off, and that will be enough with the rest day."
May 1st is a bit long ago. After all, Xia Xian is a remarried widow. The Quan family is so well-off, and they have to seize the opportunity quickly. If they regret it, it will be too late because the marriage is already over!
It's not surprising that Lei Juan thinks this way. From a worldly perspective, Quan Ruifeng and Xia Xian are similar in appearance, but in other respects Xia Xian is far inferior to Quan Ruifeng. In the eyes of others, she is no different from someone who is trying to climb up the social ladder, so Lei Juan dares not delay.
No matter what others think, as long as Xia Xian is happy.
"Alright."
Xia Xian was also satisfied with this day. The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Lei Juan asked her if she had any money left.
"Are things in Beijing very expensive?"
"It's a little more expensive than our place, but it's okay. I still have money. Quan Ruifeng bought most of the things, so I didn't spend much."
Now that things have come to this, there is no need for Xia Xian to pretend to be noble. There is no need to make such a clear distinction between her and Quan Ruifeng. She is not stingy in saying good things about Quan Ruifeng to her parents, letting them know that Quan Ruifeng treats her well, so that they can rest assured.
"That's good."
"By the way, I have something to tell you. Chu Sheng and Old Lady Chu seem to have gone crazy recently. They come up to you and bite you, saying that you have a child with him or something."
"It's a mess. I don't know where he got this child from. He looks quite like him. He said you are his wife and wants you to take care of his mother in her old age. He also wants you to pay child support for the child."
"Did he go to Beijing to look for you before? I heard from the police that he is not allowed to go out with a letter of introduction. He can't go to Beijing to look for you anymore, so he can only harass us here. He is fine, your father and two brothers can beat him down, but we have a lot of family members, so if he dares to come and make trouble, he will be beaten.
But the damn old woman in his family always comes to lie outside our house, yelling and cursing. I can't beat her and she won't run away. Now she sleeps outside our house and makes a fuss from time to time. I don't know what they are doing. It's useless to say anything. The police can't control them. "
Lei Juan didn't want to tell Xia Xian about this at first, for fear that she would worry. But she was also afraid that Chu Sheng and Old Lady Chu would come looking for her when the time comes. If she wasn't mentally prepared, it would be bad if Quan Ruifeng and his family misunderstood her. So she hesitated and told her anyway.
"What?!"
Xia Xian had been busy preparing for the exam and hadn't called home, so she naturally didn't know about such a big thing happening at home, but she wasn't really surprised. Since Chu Sheng couldn't come to see her anymore, he would definitely go to her house to cause trouble for her parents and put pressure on her through her parents.
"He was released? Wasn't he locked up? And what about the child? Wasn't he released as well? Wasn't he an illegal resident?"
Xia Xian asked, why was he released in such a short time?
"He really did go to look for you. Why didn't you tell us anything?"
"How would I know why he was released so quickly? Anyway, he is released now. Before he was released, his mother kept coming to our house to make trouble like a crazy woman, and she even went to our factory. Fortunately, you were raised by your neighbors, and everyone knows whether you are pregnant or not. Otherwise, your reputation would be completely ruined."
"It's not a good thing for them to come here every day. If you have a way, please think of a way for us to see how we can stop them from bothering us. Your brother and sister-in-law already have complaints. They said that it was you who caused the trouble, so you should solve it."
Lei Juan sighed. Any normal person would be scared by being beaten, but Chu Sheng and his mother were like ghosts that haunted them. No matter how much they were beaten or scolded, or even if the police were to catch them, it was useless. It seemed that only by shooting them could they have complete peace of mind. It was really annoying.
Maybe it’s because those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. Chu Sheng and Old Lady Chu have nothing left, so they can only hold on to Xia Xian. No matter if there is a chance or not, they will bite off a piece of meat from her, and even that is not enough!
And the most important thing is that there are children in the family. Xia Xian's second sister-in-law will give birth to her second child soon. If the old woman does something cruel to the child, it will be too late for them to regret.
In addition, due to the noise every day, the neighbors have some complaints about them, and the problem needs to be solved quickly.
"I understand. I'll think of a way, but there's no way I'm going to give them money. Otherwise, wouldn't that just confirm the rumors they made up?"
Xia Xian's face sank. Sending them back was not a permanent solution. It seemed that she had to find a way to keep Chu Sheng and Old Lady Chu in jail.
How can we keep them in jail?
Stealing? Murder?
What kind of crime is easy to set up?
Xia Xian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Xiao Jun had been staying in the juvenile detention center. Did he want her to sacrifice herself and get hurt again?
Even if she was willing, Quan Ruifeng would probably be furious if he knew about it. That wouldn't work.
We still have to plan for the long term.
"Well, Mom, I'll send you some money and some things. You can appease your brother and sister-in-law, as well as the neighbors, and give them some things. Try to get everyone to stand on our side and feel that we are pitiful. If Old Lady Chu comes to make trouble again, it is the neighbors who are annoyed. You should take the initiative to drive them away instead of having a grudge against our family."
