Upon learning that Shen Xingshan had five brothers, he was overjoyed.
Madam He was determined to find a son-in-law to marry into the family, but what ordinary family would be willing to let their son marry into the family?
Shen Xingshan had so many brothers, and the Shen family was from the countryside, which was far inferior to their family's social standing.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the Shen family will agree.
"...I know that many people say I sold my son. But I didn't take a single penny of the money the He family wanted. The betrothal gifts were given as usual, and the wedding expenses were all paid by my family. I'm not afraid of what others say."
Little Zhou puffed out her chest and said proudly.
All she wanted was for her son to get married and live a stable life.
Regarding the marriage with the He family, what she valued most was that her son liked He Baozhu, and He Baozhu also liked Xingshan.
Since the young people like each other and He Baozhu is a good person, why should Xiao Zhou Shi stop them because of the issue of whether or not the young man should marry into the family?
“You did the right thing. It’s still the Shen family’s wedding. That way, Xingshan can hold his head high in the He family. I know you too well; you just want Xingshan to get married.”
"Who can argue with that? Their child can have any surname they want, I don't care. As long as Xingshan is happy."
Little Zhou was very open-minded.
Why think so much?
My son's happiness is the most important thing.
In this way, Shen Xingshan could not be considered to have married into his wife's family; he was simply living in his father-in-law's house.
"Second Aunt, you are so open-minded. Brother Xingshan is so lucky to have you as his mother."
Shen Liuliu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
No matter where you are, what a child's surname is is something everyone will argue about.
So what if you have several sons? Who would want their grandson to change his surname?
But Madam Zhou readily agreed, which shows that she was very open-minded.
Little Zhou smiled helplessly: "It's not that I'm enlightened, I'm just forced into this situation. I just want Xingshan to live a peaceful life."
If Shen Xingshan had initially approached He Baozhu, Xiao Zhoushi might not have agreed.
However, given what happened in the previous five years, Xiao Zhou's requirements for Shen Xingshan's marriage were already very low.
Moreover, He Baozhu is a really nice girl, which is why she agreed to it.
"Besides, Xingshan is also getting a good deal. Everything belonging to the He family will belong to the young couple in the future. Even though the grandson doesn't have the surname Shen, he's still my grandson. Life won't be difficult for him in the future."
Xiao Zhou didn't hold back in front of Tian Guifen and spoke very directly.
To say that you didn't consider this point when you agreed to the marriage is also a lie.
Who wouldn't want their child to have an easier life in the future?
Tian Guifen understood and sighed, "You've taken care of everything, so you have nothing to worry about. Unlike me, Erming isn't married yet, Shitou isn't, and Wutiao hasn't come back for years..."
I'm so worried!
But there was nothing we could do.
Tian Guifen could never harden her heart when it came to stones.
We can't stop a child from becoming even more outstanding, can we?
well.
In short, it's just difficult.
“Shi Tou, we really should try to persuade him. He’s not young anymore, it’s time to talk to him.”
"Wait a little longer, Mother, wait a little longer."
Shen Liuliu suddenly interjected, a flash of anger crossing her eyes.
Tian Guifen asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Why wait any longer when everything is fine?
Shen Liuliu casually gave a reason: "Fourth Brother just came back, and he clearly doesn't want to get married. If you keep going to talk to him about it, I'm worried he'll be unhappy and embarrassed to say it. In the end... we might create a rift between mother and son."
Some things are about to be clarified.
She had to ask her mother to wait a little longer.
Otherwise, things will get even worse.
"But how long will it take? Your fourth brother isn't young anymore."
Tian Guifen was still somewhat hesitant.
Shen Liuliu advised her, "My second brother's wedding is definitely going to happen this year, Mother, you need to prepare in advance, right? Besides, my third sister-in-law is pregnant again, there are so many things to do. If you also have to arrange my fourth brother's wedding, will you be able to handle it all?"
Xiao Zhoushi sensed something was going on. Although she didn't understand what Liu Liu meant, she cleverly helped Shen Liu Liu persuade Tian Guifen.
"Liu Liu is right. There are so many things to do. You should take care of Er Ming's marriage and Fang Hui's child first."
Now that you mention it, it seems like I have a lot to do.
Tian Guifen then gave up.
But she also reminded Xiao Zhou to keep an eye out for good girls.
After Shen Erming gets married and Fang Hui's pregnancy stabilizes, she will still arrange a marriage for her fourth son.
Mrs. Zhou nodded hurriedly.
"His grandfather's third death anniversary is coming soon, so we should start making preparations."
"Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
Tian Guifen slapped her forehead.
She's been so busy with Erming's marriage lately that she almost forgot about this.
It has been three years since the old man passed away; it's time to erect a monument.
“You’ve been so busy lately, it’s no wonder you’ve forgotten. I heard from your second brother that he wants to throw a big party for the old man.”
Xiao Zhou conveyed Shen Qianli's meaning.
Tian Guifen had no objection: "The old man has worked hard all his life, so let's have a big celebration."
For Tian Guifen now, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Furthermore, Tian Guifen was also willing to spend money on the old man.
If we spend a lot of money to hold a lavish party for the old lady, she won't be happy.
"I reckon your second brother will be looking for Wanli to discuss this in the next couple of days. He wants to get the whole family together and make a proper celebration."
"I need to write to him in advance about the fifth jump, otherwise the child might not be able to make it."
Tian Guifen hurriedly told Shen Liuliu to write a letter to Wu Tiao, so that he could prepare in advance.
Life and death are major events, and the third anniversary of his grandfather's death and the erection of a monument are also important matters, so he had to come back.
Shen Liuliu nodded obediently and went immediately.
Just then, Shen Wanli returned, so we called Shen Qianli over as well to discuss the procedures in detail.
"Let's have a three-day banquet, a continuous feast. Let the old man have a good time too."
Shen Qianli said with great enthusiasm.
The old man wasn't living such a glorious life, so after his death, all that's left is to erect a tombstone, which must be done in a grand and proper manner.
Shen Wanli had no objection: "Okay, then let's have eight meat dishes, four cold dishes, four vegetable dishes, and two soups."
"OK."
The two brothers were both straightforward people, and they quickly settled the matter.
Shen Wanli originally wanted to say that he would spend all the money this time, but Shen Qianli was unwilling.
After a brief argument, Shen Wanli agreed to Shen Qianli's request, and the two brothers reconciled.
After seeing off Xiao Zhoushi and Shen Qianli, Tian Guifen grabbed Shen Wanli's ear and scolded, "You've made some money, don't you know how to show it off? Don't you know your second brother cares about his reputation? You come up here and say you've spent all the money, what are you going to make your second brother think? Are you brainless?"
