The next step is for both parties to discuss the wedding arrangements.
Liang Zhiqiu, the mother-in-law, was quite open-minded. She fully respected the opinions of the young couple, set the direction, and then filled in the details one by one, very attentive.
She also said: "I originally wanted to prepare a wedding room for you, but considering your current situation, you can decide for yourself where to live. You don't have to stick to any formalities. Our current home will always be your room, and you are always welcome to come back and live here."
The children are grown up and have their own lives. They will not tie them down by their side, let alone interfere in their lives, nor do they have the qualifications to do so.
They originally owed Yun Jiuzhou a lot, and what they wanted to do most now was to be as good to them as possible and make up for the debt over the years.
Gu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief quietly. She was also afraid that Yun Jiuzhou's new identity would bring a series of restrictions.
For example, the housing problem. Yun Jiuzhou is now in school and spends very little time at home. She continues to live in the small western-style building with her children, where she also cares for Lanting, Zhong Zijun, and Ming Ruxue.
It's rare for the family to be together, but we've gotten used to it.
Yun Jiuzhou will come over at night when he has time, and will stay in the school dormitory directly when he doesn't have time.
Liang Zhiqiu's arrangement made her feel very happy.
After the Yun family left, Zhong Zijun solemnly handed the betrothal gift they gave to Gu Qinghuan.
"Here, take a look!"
After Gu Qinghuan opened it and read it, he finally understood why Zhong Zijun was so surprised just now.
This mother-in-law is so arrogant that the ownership of a department store building has been changed to her name.
She has not been able to achieve her goal of being able to live comfortably on her own in her entire life. She first relied on her husband's family to achieve this. To be more precise, she relied on a man to achieve this.
And although Liang Zhiqiu didn't prepare a wedding house for them, the two houses he gave them showed a lot of thought.
A small western-style house, about ten minutes' walk from their current house.
There is also a three-story courtyard house next to Huaqing. Yun Jiuzhou now lives in the school dormitory, which is quite inconvenient when traveling.
They can definitely clean up this house and live in it.
"Huanhuan, you've found the right path and married the right person.
The Yun family is indeed wealthy and generous! You only see the value of the house, but this box of trinkets is not much cheaper than the pieces of paper in your hands.
Take this small bracelet, the material used is the rare imperial green, and the key is that its design is still very youthful꿨, not dull, 늀 very thoughtful.
And this pair of bracelets is also a rare good thing on the market. If you sell them, they can be worth several houses if the market is good. "
Bai Jie's family started out in the antique business, so she had a keen eye and knew a lot.
Gu Qinghuan actually didn't quite understand it. He just knew it was a good thing, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. He suddenly felt like he was holding a hot potato. He didn't know whether to accept it or not.
I always feel that it is not good to accept such expensive gifts for no reason.
Cheng Shuying patted her hands, giving her a reassurance.
"Huanhuan, don't underestimate yourself. Although the Yun family is wealthy, you are not bad either.
You saved Jiuzhou's life, so these things given to you by the Yun family are nothing, just accept them."
In the eyes of the old lady, her granddaughter was the best. Who could not be worthy of her? Marrying her to the boy of the Yun family was a blessing for the Yun family.
Zhong Ziyan also learned about the story between Gu Qinghuan and Yun Jiuzhou in the countryside.
"Huanhuan, people support each other. All this is due to your initial efforts. You deserve it!"
Bai Jie looked at Gu Qinghuan's expression and instantly regretted why she had said it, making the child so uneasy.
Zhong Weiqian has been with Gu Qinghuan for several years and knows her personality and concerns very well.
Gu Qinghuan is very proud. She is independent, strong, hardworking and self-reliant.
She likes to be evenly matched. You are good and I am not bad either. She doesn't want to be dependent on others.
He is a good kid who appears gentle on the outside but is strong on the inside.
Maybe it was because of the absence of her mother that she suffered a lot of trauma, so he felt that the child was very insecure. She was always afraid that she would be at a disadvantage and lose the initiative, and she had a strong desire to control her own life.
Including this incident, ordinary people would only feel happy when encountering such a good thing.
But she was more worried and insecure, afraid that she would fall into the passive position and be at the mercy of others.
After thinking about it, he had already made up his mind.
"Don't be afraid, child. Grandpa has also prepared a dowry for you. It is ten or a hundred times more valuable than these things. We are not inferior to the Yun family in any way." Zhong Weiqian patted his granddaughter's shoulder gently.
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhong Weiqian in confusion.
Weren't all the good things in their homes burned and looted, leaving nothing behind?
Even Cheng Shuying looked confused.
This old man is hiding some private money from her? What is so valuable? Don't be bragging.
Zhong Weiqian coughed twice, cleared his throat, and announced, "I didn't say this before because I was worried that the things would be discovered and taken away, and I would be happy for nothing.
I've already told your family in advance that I've decided to give this thing to Huanhuan as a dowry, and no one is allowed to object, and any objections must be kept to themselves.
During those years in Xujiatun, my husband and I relied on Zijun and Qinghuan for support. Without them, we would not have been able to come back alive.
Especially Huanhuan, her toughness and stubbornness surprised me.
I, Zhong Weiqian, have taught many talented students throughout my life, but in the end, it was not these geniuses who helped me carry the heavy burden on my shoulders, but the tender shoulders of this child.
I am so proud of her as my granddaughter.
Maybe you don’t know, but Zijun broke her arm and was almost disabled. She was the only strong one among the three of us. If she was disabled, it meant that all three of us were disabled. You can imagine what was waiting for us.
The three of us couldn't even come up with ten dollars.
In order to save Zijun, she exchanged her marriage for one hundred yuan, gambled her lifelong happiness, and married Yun Jiuzhou, who was still lying in bed at the time. He was still a madman who was despised by everyone.
I still remember that day, she came back from the hospital and brought me chicken soup. My grandfather and I worked on half an acre of land.
At that time, I really didn't know how the money came from, and I even accused her of wasting it. How sad the child must have been!
If I had known earlier...even if I had known earlier, there would be nothing I could do.
I really have no choice. I lived a carefree life, but only when I got old did I realize how hopeless and depressing the lives of poor people are.
If it weren't for God's blessing, Yun Jiuzhou was a good person, but her life was ruined.
Even God knows how to feel sorry for her, and I, an old man, feel sorry for her too.
So, I want to leave this only thing left in our house to her. Do you have any objection to this?"
The old man's eyes welled up with tears as he spoke, thinking back to those days, everything seemed to be still before his eyes.
Fortunately, the boat has passed through thousands of mountains.
