Chapter 3: Get Back the Space Ring
"Withdraw? We've set up ten tables at the Bund Hotel today. All our friends and family know about our relationship. You're saying you want to withdraw now? Where's the Xu family's reputation?"
Xu Yanli felt inexplicably irritated.
He never thought that there would be any changes in this marriage.
Even if the banquet is set up, it means it is a second marriage.
Who will want her in the future?
Ruan Anan didn't buy his tricks at all, and slowly tried to distance herself from him: "I'm not trying to make a fuss, I'm just thinking about you."
"Thinking about me?" Xu Yanli looked unconvinced.
"Of course," Ruan Anan said confidently, "We have a monogamous system now. If you have problems with your lifestyle, you will be fired from the factory."
"My eldest sister-in-law is a widow. My eldest brother hasn't been home for many years. She is pregnant and the family is going to be investigated."
"Will you still be able to keep your position as deputy director of the textile factory workshop by then?"
These words hit Xu Yanli's sore spot.
If his iron rice bowl is shattered, it will be the end of him!
But he couldn't bear to give up the gentle Su Qingyue...
Xu Yanli suddenly frowned.
Su Qingyue, on the other hand, reacted quickly and said softly, "Why would our family be investigated? We are not capitalists..."
Ruan Anan interrupted her directly and said, "But my brother is a martyr. The martyr's widow became pregnant after his death. Do you really think no one will come to investigate?"
Su Qingyue's heart trembled.
When did this damn girl become so shrewd?
"Then I will go to the countryside when I get pregnant."
She bit her lip and pretended to be pitiful. "The child will be registered in your name. I promise not to tell the truth in this life..."
"Qingyue..." Xu's mother immediately felt extremely distressed.
"Mom, it's okay. It's for the Xu family." Su Qingyue wiped her tears.
Ruan Anan cut her off immediately. "Since sister-in-law is so considerate of the overall situation, I'll take a step back. After sister-in-law goes to the countryside to give birth to the child, we can get the marriage certificate. That way, even if the affair is exposed, the child won't be born out of wedlock, and at least Xu Yanli won't lose his job."
Su Qingyue's face turned pale in an instant.
This bitch actually wants to send her to the countryside?
Is that a crappy place for people to stay?
Xu Yanli thought this was a good idea and his expression gradually relaxed.
Su Qingyue saw it and felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
She suddenly took Xu's mother's arm and casually reminded her, "If the marriage falls through, will this old house and the dowry be lost..."
Xu's mother's expression suddenly changed.
The Ruan family had made it clear before that the dowry would only truly belong to the Xu family after Ruan Anan and Yanli got their marriage certificate.
Xu's mother would not give up this piece of fat meat no matter what.
She immediately changed her expression and said with a smile, "An An, you're not trying to take this opportunity to take the dowry back, are you?"
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with viciousness as he stared at Ruan Anan.
If she doesn't obey, she will be in trouble!
How could Ruan Anan not understand what this old woman was planning?
She pretended to be submissive and said, "What are you talking about, mother? Even if we don't get the marriage certificate, we are still a family. The dowry belongs to our family."
Xu's mother's expression looked a little better.
Yes, the situation outside is serious now. Ruan Anan is an orphan and can only rely on the Xu family.
However, the marriage application cannot be withdrawn.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to touch her dowry in the future because it would be illegal.
She has been thinking about those good things for a long time!
The Ruan family is one of the most wealthy families in Hai City. In the past three years, Ruan Anan and Xu Yanli have been dating, and she has come here many times.
There were a lot of large camphorwood boxes in the basement, which were Ruan Anan’s dowry.
She took a peek and saw a box full of small yellow croakers!
And my son said that Ruan Anan has something more valuable.
With such a treasure trove, who can sleep well if she is not tied firmly to the Xu family's household registration book?
Mother Xu had a plan in mind. She took Ruan An'an's hand and spoke gently, "An'an, your uncle works at the neighborhood office. He can keep the marriage application for a month. Why don't you wait a little longer? If Qingyue still hasn't made any move, we can take the application back, okay?"
Ruan Anan had long expected that the old woman would not give in easily.
She frowned and pretended to be worried: "Will this cause trouble for my uncle?"
Xu's mother was quite satisfied with her reaction. She clapped her hands and said, "It's amazing that you still think about your uncle."
"Don't worry, he can still do this."
Ruan Anan pouted and said nothing, looking embarrassed.
"It's just a month later to get the marriage certificate. You'll be my daughter-in-law sooner or later anyway."
In order to cheer Ruan Anan up, Xu's mother went into the house and took out a nanmu box.
Inside was a fine mutton-fat jade bracelet.
Mother Xu put the bracelet on Ruan Anan and said softly, "This bracelet was left to you by your mother. I wanted to wait until the day you and Yanli got your marriage certificate to put it on you on your mother's behalf."
"Although we have to postpone getting the marriage certificate, in my heart, you have long been my daughter-in-law."
The cold jade bracelet touched her wrist, and Ruan Anan's pupils dilated slightly.
space!
This jade bracelet is the least valuable thing in the Ruan family, so Xu's mother gave it to her as a favor.
But she didn't know that there was a big secret hidden in this jade bracelet!
Su Qingyue accidentally discovered the space in the bracelet, which is why she donated grain and cloth during the three special years. After her death, she was sent off by thousands of people along the streets.
It can be said that the reason why the heroine is the heroine is because she has this golden finger.
Great! Now that the space was hers, the next step was to collect the property.
Don’t even think about touching the Xu family from now on!
Ruan Anan hid her secret joy, touched the bracelet, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Since Mom values me so much, I can't make things difficult for you. However, since we don't have a marriage certificate, we are not legally considered husband and wife."
"It's really easy for unmarried couples to live together. Why don't you three just move out first?"
Mother Xu frowned. "Move away? Your house has three floors. There are four of us, so one room per person is enough. Why do you want us to move?"
This old detached house is the ancestral property of the Ruan family. Not long ago, the Xu family moved in with Su Qingyue under the pretext of preparing for the wedding.
Why does the Ruan family own the house with the surname Xu?
Ruan Anan's eyes rolled, tears pattering down her face. "Hey, I'm only thinking about Yanli's job. Living together without getting married is considered a hooligan crime, right? If someone covets his position and tells others..."
"Besides, haven't you always lived in the side yard? It's only a few meters away."
Xu's mother's expression changed slightly.
That side courtyard was rented by the Xu family and was where the Ruan family's ancestors provided housing for their servants.
What does this damn girl mean? She lives alone in the western-style building and lets their family live in the side room?
