Chapter 460: Marriage Discussion
The elders of the two families met each other happily, had a harmonious conversation, and decided on the children's marriages on the spot.
As Ouyang Jiashu was on a tight holiday, he announced his engagement the next day at the largest hotel in the Lu Group.
The Ouyang family's betrothal gifts were very generous. Although those gifts were not uncommon for the Lu family, they represented the Ouyang family's full sincerity.
Each item is carefully selected, with rich variety and thoughtful etiquette, highlighting the importance the father attaches to his daughter-in-law.
Ouyang's mother held Lu Yiyi's hand and was full of love.
"Good boy, time is tight, so I don't have time to buy you more things. Take this card. It doesn't have much money, but it's a token of my appreciation from Jiashu's father and me."
"From now on, we are a family, and I will treat you as my own daughter. I say this in front of my parents-in-law, and it's not just superficial talk. I will treat you well with all my heart."
"If that brat Jiashu bullies you, tell me and I'll beat him up myself."
Ouyang's mother looked like a gentle, virtuous, and open-minded intellectual. Lu Yiyi would definitely not be wronged if she married her.
As women, Mother Lu can tell at a glance whether the other person is sincere or hypocritical.
"Mother-in-law, my Yiyi has been spoiled since she was a child. In the future, you should teach her more about managing the household. Talk to her when necessary, scold her when necessary, but don't spoil her."
Ouyang's mother joked jokingly.
"Then I must spoil her well. I haven't given birth to a daughter in my life. If I don't spoil my daughter-in-law, who should I spoil?"
The room was filled with laughter and warmth.
Lu Yiyi was able to marry a husband who truly loved her and met a generous and virtuous mother-in-law, so her father and mother were relieved.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. Shao Chi is now under our family name, and he shares Yiyi's surname, Lu. When they have another child, we can give him the surname Ouyang. What do you think?"
As for the child's surname, Ouyang's father did not have the feudal idea that it must follow the man's.
"I think it's great. Thank you for raising the baby so well. Let's name him Lu Shaochi."
"If they want to have a second child, they can have one. If they don't, that's fine too. Even if the second child also has the surname Lu, it doesn't matter. As long as the children are happy, it doesn't matter whose surname they have."
If it were another noble family, they would definitely be fussy about the surname issue. But when Ouyang's father said this, no one objected.
Even Grandpa Ouyang agreed.
It was just Ouyang's mother who quietly raised her hand and made a small request.
"I agree that the baby's last name should be Lu. Well, I want to discuss with my mother-in-law if I can take care of Shao Chi for a few days."
"All the old sisters in our yard have become grandmothers. I also want to hold Shao Chi and show him off."
This was a difficult situation, and Mother Lu was also reluctant to let her go. However, since they were both in their fifties and sixties, he also understood Mother Ouyang's feelings.
"Three days, at most I'll give you three days, no more."
Ouyang's mother started bargaining again. "Mother-in-law, don't be so stingy. Give me two more days every weekend."
"Look at you, how lucky you are, with three sons. You'll have a ton of grandchildren to look after. I only have one son, Jiashu, so please let me have a grandchild too."
This really hits the nail on the head.
Mother Lu turned around and thought. That's right, I can't just focus on my grandson. I have to hurry up and urge those sons to have grandchildren as soon as possible.
By then, if each person has one, there will be three, and if each person has two, there will be six. It will be so lively. Will you still worry about not having dolls to play with?
"Mother-in-law, you're right. Then our two families will take turns taking care of the baby. Shao Chi will go to your place every weekend."
"I have to hurry up and urge those rascals in my family. They are already old and still haven't done their work."
"It's Yiyi, who was the most worrying since she was young. Now that she has a family and children and has completed the major events in her life, she is the one that gives us the least worry."
After Ouyang's mother's guidance, Lu's mother suddenly understood and understood. She couldn't wait to call her sons to urge them to get married, and she wanted to arrange the weddings of all four children at once.
That's what we call honorable and respectable.
The third brother is quite capable. He is now in a passionate relationship with Su Qian. Their relationship is stable, so there is no need to worry too much.
The second son was stubborn, single-minded, and infatuated, trapped in a deep emotional wound and refusing to come out. Even forcing him to go on blind dates and fall in love was useless. He wouldn't listen.
The most urgent task now is to settle the boss’s major life event.
He is already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old and still a single man.
I was delayed by that woman from the Hua family and suffered for more than ten years.
Now that he has finally divorced and started a new life, I have to make good arrangements for him, help him marry a girl from a good family, start a family, and then hurry up and have two more lovely grandchildren.
The more Mother Lu thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and the more excited she became, so she immediately discussed it with Mother Ouyang.
"My dear relatives, I have been abroad for many years and have lost touch with many social interactions. Please look around and see if there is a suitable girl who can introduce me to my eldest son."
Ouyang's mother was the director of obstetrics and gynecology, and she happened to have a lot of unmarried doctors and nurses around her. As long as Lu Shishang was willing to go on a blind date, they could arrange it at any time.
"Sure! No problem."
"How about this? I'll take advantage of the children's engagement and invite all the suitable girls. Then, tell me who your eldest brother likes. I'll help them get together privately."
This method is particularly good, and Mother Lu thinks it is very appropriate.
"Okay, that's it. Thank you for your hard work, in-laws."
"We're a family, so why bother talking about hardship? Leave this to me. I have many high-quality girls around me who want to go on blind dates."
The two mothers-in-law hit it off immediately, feeling like they had met too late, and they chatted with great pleasure. Even when the food was cold, they were still reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.
Mr. Lu and Mr. Ouyang patted their wives respectively to remind them.
"Wife, it's time to eat!"
"Children are all adults and will think about their own affairs. It's useless for you to worry too much. Matters of the heart are all about fate. Look at Yiyi and Jiashu, Qiqi and Youqian, they all talked about it on their own and are now living happily together."
"Didn't the marriage we arranged for the eldest brother in the past harm him? This time, let him choose for himself."
"As long as it's a girl Ah Shang likes, no matter her appearance, family background, or education, I will support him."
After hearing what Father Lu said, Mother Lu felt a wave of guilt. Back then, Lu Shishang had sacrificed his personal marriage for the family business.
Now, we really shouldn't put any more pressure on him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll just ask my mother-in-law to call a few girls over to liven things up. If it's Ah Shang, it would be best if he could find one he likes."
"It doesn't matter if he hasn't met her. The world is so big, there will always be a good girl who is suitable for him."
