"By the way, I heard that the second son of the Zhou family's new wife is from a very prominent family! Today's newspapers are all about her. Especially the dowry of over a hundred pieces of money! Wow, I'm so jealous just looking at it."
She leaned over and shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, Fifth Sister-in-law, you went to the wedding banquet yesterday. Do you know where the bride came from?"
Old Madam He glanced at her and ignored her.
Mrs. He, Han Shuhui, responded, "That day Jingtang came home and asked my mother to comb the bride's hair. He did mention it. He said his ancestral home is in mainland China, and his family has businesses in Hong Kong and Country M."
"Oh~ no wonder!" He Xiangqian nodded, "I knew it, Mr. Zhou is not stupid. If it was just a mainland girl, how could she catch his eye?"
"Don't judge others with your petty thoughts!" Old Madam He came over with a cane, "I think Jingtang is a good boy, and he is sincere to Guoer.
I was originally thinking of bringing him and our Jiajia together, but who knew they would get married so soon! "
Old Madam He sat down on the sofa and nodded slightly, looking quite regretful.
"Speaking of Jia Ke, where is she?" He Xiangqian looked around the room but did not see his fifth niece.
Turning his head, he glanced at Madam He and said, "Mom, on such an important day, you are making your daughter suffer! She is not at home, why don't you tell her?"
"Do you think your family is as unreliable as you? They came back early this morning and are now busy handling official business in the study."
Madam He glanced at her from head to toe, "Look at you, you're five years older than Jia Ke, why don't you have any of that kid's steadiness?"
"What's wrong with me?" He Xiangqian straightened his chest and shook his shoulders.
"My Ziyu likes me just like this! If I were like Jiake, still single at my age and acting like a tomboy all day, would you be happy? Humph, I'd drive you crazy!"
"You're not going to make me anxious now? Look at you, it's already 36 after the New Year, right? Why is there still no news about your pregnancy? If you're not anxious, then Ziyu is not anxious too? How can your mother-in-law not have any complaints about you?"
Thinking that her daughter was still unmarried at such an old age, Mrs. He couldn't help but frown.
How many years can love last? Especially in a family like theirs! Guo Ziyu is treating his youngest daughter well now, but that doesn't mean he won't change his mind forever. There has to be a child involved to make the relationship more stable.
"You really know how to poke people's hearts, and you bring up things that are not related to the topic!" He Xiangqian leaned back on the sofa like a deflated balloon, and instantly lost interest! With an unhappy face,
"You're talking as if I don't want to have a baby! I've seen the doctor, I've taken the medicine, and it's not like Ziyu and I haven't tried hard, but the baby just won't come. What can we do?!"
As she spoke, her nose felt sore and she pouted and started crying.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. He sighed and didn't say anything more.
Han Shuhui quickly handed over the handkerchief and said, "I heard that Chinese medicine is more effective than Western medicine in treating this condition. If it doesn't work, why don't we find a Chinese medicine doctor to take a look?"
"You think I haven't looked for it?" He Jiaqian took the handkerchief, sniffing aggrievedly, tears hanging on her long eyelashes.
"My mother-in-law took me to every reputable Chinese medicine doctor in Hong Kong! I don't know how many buckets of bitter medicine I drank! But nothing worked!
Why do you think I love to dress up so much? It’s because I don’t have a child and I’m worried that Ziyu will do something stupid outside! It’s not easy for me either, wuwuwu~”
Seeing that she was getting more and more aggrieved, Mr. He also sighed.
His little girl has been carefree, cheerful and lively since she was young. She was always happy every time she returned to her parents' home after marriage. He didn't expect that she had so much pain in her heart.
Mrs. He felt bad seeing her daughter like this.
But what's the point of just crying? The old lady thought for a while and said, "Okay! There are so many doctors in this world! If Hong Kong can't cure it, let's go abroad or to the mainland!"
I heard that the eldest son of the Zhou family had a lame leg in his early years, and that he met a good doctor on the mainland! Jingtang and his wife are coming over later, so I'll ask him and see if he can invite that doctor to see you.
"Thank you, Mom!" He Xiangqian pursed her lips and leaned towards the old lady, took her arm and said coquettishly, "I knew that Mom still loves me the most."
The old lady glanced at her and poked her forehead with her finger.
"You little heartless kid! I love all six of you brothers and sisters, the flesh that fell from my belly. There's no way I can tell who's the best or the least!"
"Right, right, right!" He Shuhui agreed with a smile, "The He family is so united and harmonious because of our father and mother's fairness. It's also a blessing for us younger generations."
Those who were reading newspapers were reading newspapers, and those who were chatting were chatting.
Boss He Xiangdong's wife Sun Yaning pouted as she listened to the conversation between the few people.
I thought to myself, what a fair place!
If it were really fair, why was the position of head of the family not passed on to her man, but to the youngest in the family?
Why didn't the position of vice president go to her son, but was given to that little girl He Jiake? After all, her son was the eldest grandson of the He family.
No matter how capable the He family is, they still need to marry. It's okay for He Xiangqian to favor his own daughter, but the old man and the old lady are getting confused, right? They are not afraid that this girl will be extroverted and eventually join forces with outsiders to steal the He family's wealth.
At this time, the housekeeper came running over, "Master, Madam, the guests have arrived!"
Lan Guoer walked in from outside with her arm around Tang Zhan's, smiling. Tang Zhan was holding a thank-you gift that Lan Guoer had specially prepared for the old lady.
The He family members all stood up, and the old lady came forward with a smile and asked the two to sit down in the living room.
"Oh~ This is the second young master's new wife, right?" He Xiangqian stared with his eyes wide open.
She has been a beauty who is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom wherever she goes since she was young. She is also extremely confident in her appearance.
Lan Guoer was the first person who made her feel so amazed.
She has a curvy figure, long hair like a waterfall, skin so tender that you can almost pinch water out of it, and her three parts of the face and five eyes seem to have been measured by the goddess Nuwa with a ruler. It's just perfect!
Especially those phoenix eyes, which were clear and bright and seemed to have some kind of charm, making her want to take a few more glances!
No wonder the second young master of the Zhou family was so impatient. I heard that the two had only known each other for a week, but he married her in a flash.
She is so stunningly beautiful that not only men but even a woman like her can't help but feel jealous.
"You kid, why are you always talking nonsense!" Madam He glanced at her and said, "Who else could be Jingtang's wife if not Jingtang's wife?"
After she finished speaking, the old lady smiled and introduced her sons and daughters to Lan Guoer and Tang Zhan one by one.
He Jiake, He Jiaai and He Jiacong heard the noise and rushed down from upstairs.
As the best man yesterday, He Jiacong had already met Lan Guoer and greeted the two of them familiarly.
"I thought the girl I saw yesterday was already a fairy, but I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would be even more beautiful without makeup! Cousin Jing is so lucky!"
