Chen Jianshan too was bewildered by Chen Dahai's speech!
"Wait a minute! Fourth brother... you're saying, that girl's father is the dean? Her mother is a bureau chief?" Chen Jianshan exclaid in a hushed voice, eyes wide.
Chen Dahai nodded his head, "Mhm, that's right."
Chen Jianshan's face couldn't help but change colors, uncertain. A few seconds later, he suddenly asked, "Fourth bro, let ask you sothing and you tell the truth."
"Are you planning for Chen Cang to beco a live-in son-in-law?"
After saying that, Chen Jianshan let out a quiet sigh!
"Actually... in today's society, it doesn't really matter if he moves in or not, it's all the sa for any family. As long as you treat both parents well, all of this is acceptable!"
Chen Jianshan's consideration wasn't without reason!
After all, the girl's parents are both leaders, why would they take a fancy to us, average folks?
Although Chen Cang is outstanding, these days, who doesn't look for a match within their social status?
Having struggled outside for so many years, Chen Jianshan had witnessed quite a few decent young n marrying into other families.
Thinking it over carefully, Chen Jianshan felt that the choice for Chen Cang was quite good. After all, when you are out in the world, it is different to have soone to support you. He knew all too well the hardships he faced alone these years. In this society, it isn't just individual ability that matters, but your overall strength.
He actually thought Chen Cang's choice was quite good!
Upon hearing this, Chen Dahai couldn't help but pause and said, "No! Ah... big brother, what are you thinking!"
"Little Chen and that girl, they've known each other for years and have a great impression of each other. They started dating last year, and her parents didn't ntion these things. They just feel that Little Chen is dependable and capable, which is why they married their daughter to him!"
After talking for so long, Chen Jianshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although moving in is not a big deal, as the eldest brother, he still hoped that the children of the Chen Family would continue to bring glory to their ancestors.
Yang Jiahui sat there quietly, speaking little, but Chen Cang's aunts were all eying her with curiosity brimming in their eyes!
"Sister-in-law, your skin... how is it so good, and how co you have no wrinkles? What costics do you use?" Chen Cang's aunt asked curiously, as if she had discovered a treasure.
Yang Jiahui smiled awkwardly, "Where, always cooking by the stove, I don't use any makeup."
When won gather, aside from discussing family matters, they inevitably talk about beauty and maintenance.
Yang Jiahui suddenly beca a star!
Everyone bombarded her with questions!
They were incredibly envious!
"Really, sister-in-law, you haven't changed at all, I rember seeing you several years ago and you were just like this!"
Yang Jiahui was different from Chen Dahai.
Chen Dahai couldn't conceal anything!
Yang Jiahui, however, had more patience!
There were certain things she didn't want to divulge to avoid causing trouble for Chen Cang.
During her ti at Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, she really opened her eyes!
When that young nurse spoke highly of Chen Cang's achievents, she, a mother, bead with pride, and when she learned that Chen Cang charged a million for a single surgery. she was shocked beyond belief, her eyes wide with incredulity.
How much money could she earn in her lifeti?
It was indeed hard to believe!
However, recalling what Chen Cang had said before, she also started to co to terms with it gradually.
But even so, seeing how busy Chen Cang was every day, Yang Jiahui's heart ached.
And as for relatives, how many could there be?
With all due respect to my aunts and uncles, Yang Jiahui was no fool. Favours are favours, but this had nothing to do with favours.
If her sister-in-law's family needed money for a wedding, Yang Jiahui would lend it to them, but this matter was different. It was better left unsaid.
Yang Jiahui could only say, "These are skincare products that Chen Cang and that girl bought for from abroad. The effects might be a bit better."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
But they were still sowhat surprised!
In this group of brothers and sisters, Chen Dahai had always been the honest and simple type. Raising two sons had put the greatest pressure on him, and he earned the least. To speak frankly, these brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law didn't have much respect for his family.
The sisters were still alright to talk to, after all, they were family.
Chen Dahai himself didn't fuss about it too much and had always taken care of their parents back in the hotown, for which these sisters were grateful.
anwhile, Chen Jianshan and Chen Dahai ca out with two bottles of good wine and said, "Let's go, it's getting late. Let's head over for dinner."
The brothers-in-law nodded one after another.
Chen Jianshan's place had plenty of good tobacco and alcohol, and when they visited, Chen Jianshan wasn't stingy, handing so out to everyone.
The restaurant wasn't far, so the group walked there directly.
Jinyang Restaurant had a very well-known reputation, an old establishnt for over fifty years.
Chen Cang, as a child, had always looked forward to eating here. Chen Jianshan was generous, always indulging the kids and ordering plenty each ti.
Each year, they gathered warmly and lively like this, and Chen Jianshan, as the eldest brother, played his part quite impressively.
Chen Jianshan smiled and said, "Co on, this year, ah, there are many good events. Let's all have a drink together and celebrate, ha. Chen Cang's got a stable job now, and he's about to get married. As your uncle, I just hope you younger ones work hard! In the future, when we're old, you'll be able to take us out for a nice al! Haha..."
Chen Jianshan spoke with great charm, lifting everyone's spirits.
Chen Dahai, who drove, didn't drink, and after Chen Cang had one, he gradually toasted all the elders in turn.
Now that he was working, there were many questions.
"Chen Cang, you're earning okay in the provincial capital, right?" the oldest uncle asked.
Chen Cang nodded, "It's not bad, making ends et shouldn't be a problem."
The oldest aunt smiled and said, "Your parents really had it tough, putting both of you through college. You'll have to be good to them in the future!"
Chen Cang nodded and smiled in agreent.
Chen Dahai then said, "Duo Duo, your brother is going to the capital for advanced studies this year. Once he's there, let him treat you!"
Chen Duo smiled, "I'll definitely go!"
Chen Jianshan's son returned. He had been to his mother-in-law's place that day and brought his wife along to join the gathering.
Seeing Chen Cang, he couldn't help but smile, "Chen Cang's here this year! How long are you staying?"
Chen Cang smiled, "Brother, I'll be staying quite a while. Co around to our place when you have ti, I've brought so good wine."
Chen Ze took good care of Chen Cang and Chen Luo. Older now, around thirty-five or thirty-six, and now in charge of the company's affairs, he was quite mature.
As children, when Chen Jianshan was busy, they stayed in the village with their grandparents. Back then, Chen Ze would take Chen Cang out to play, and the two of them had a great relationship.
Chen Ze smiled and said, "No problem!"
Chen Jianshan called his son over to sit down, "By the way, Chen Ze, co back to the village with tomorrow. Chen Cang's future in-laws are coming, and I need to drink a bit. You join in and drink for ."
As soon as Chen Ze heard Chen Cang was getting married, he imdiately laughed, "Great! You little rascal got a girlfriend and didn't even tell . Why didn't you say anything when I ca to see you in July?"
Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, "Back then, it wasn't quite set in stone yet!"
However, Chen Ze suddenly rembered sothing, "Dad, should I make a call to... Director Zhao over there?"
Chen Jianshan thought it over, "Let's talk about that later, we'll go ho the day after tomorrow."
