Chapter 109: Chapter 109

"It’s not Grandma and Grandpa, it’s your Aunt!" Bai Ruxue decided to tease him.

"Yingying? What’s happened to her?" Wang Yongsheng got even more anxious.

His future father-in-law had accepted him, so there shouldn’t be any issues now! Why is there a problem again?

"Yongsheng, when did you get a girlfriend? How come I didn’t know?" Bai Daliang asked, shocked and confused.

"Yeah! We’re together every day, working and eating. I had no idea!" Bai Dajiang chimed in. Chapters first released on novel※fire.net

"Oh... Aunt is called Yingying? That’s a nice name!" Bai Ruxue nodded and said.

Actually, she had known since yesterday; she was just teasing her uncle.

Wang Yongsheng blushed, "She’s... she’s just my girlfriend, not my wife yet!" After saying this, he lowered his head.

But he quickly looked up and eagerly asked Bai Ruxue,

"What exactly happened to Yingying? Did her mom introduce another guy to her?"

"Not really... it’s just that your future in-laws came over, and yesterday they discussed your marriage with Grandma and Grandpa!" Seeing her uncle genuinely worried, Bai Ruxue stopped teasing and told him the truth.

"What? Discussed marriage? How did it go?" Bai Daliang was the first to ask.

The other two also put down their chopsticks; even ribs didn’t taste as good as this topic.

"Well, Grandma asked me to ask you when the milk powder factory will be giving you leave, so you can go back and get married! The precondition is if you’re really in love with Niu Yingying!" Bai Ruxue seriously asked Wang Yongsheng, "Uncle, are you really in love with Niu Yingying? Do you want to marry her? Do you truly like her?"

At first, Wang Yongsheng felt a bit embarrassed, but thinking about how this concerned his whole life, he set embarrassment aside.

"Yes! We’ve been together for over six months. Her family never agreed to us being together. But before I came to the factory, I took a recruitment indicator to her house, and that’s when her parents finally agreed!" Wang Yongsheng said and then, puzzled, asked Bai Ruxue, "But why are they discussing marriage so quickly? I haven’t even earned the bride price yet!"

"Uncle, you don’t know. According to Grandma, there are plenty of people wanting to introduce you to someone now! Maybe they’re anxious! But the bride price they’re asking for is quite a lot!" Bai Ruxue gave him a heads-up so he wouldn’t be too shocked when he heard the amount.

"I know! A hundred yuan, right? They didn’t agree before because I couldn’t come up with it, but once I started working and knew I could, they did." Wang Yongsheng’s words reassured Bai Ruxue; turns out he knew, and they initially wanted a hundred yuan, so the current seventy-eight was indeed less.

"What? A hundred yuan?" Bai Daliang was more shocked by hearing about his brother-in-law’s girlfriend and asked with wide eyes.

"Daring to ask for a hundred yuan? Do you know how much money that is? This is the first time I’ve heard of a bride asking for that much! Such an audacious request!" Bai Dajiang exclaimed.

"They want seventy-eight yuan!" Bai Ruxue directly revealed the bride price amount.

"Seventy-eight? Yingying’s parents have lowered the price!" Wang Yongsheng chuckled bitterly, "But I can’t come up with the bride price right now! Xiao Xue, go back and tell Grandma and Grandpa that there’s no need for them to worry, nor for them to pay heed to Yingying’s parents! I’ll come back to get married once I’ve saved up enough! That’s what Yingying promised me!"

"Uncle, from the way you speak, although my future aunt’s family isn’t great, my aunt herself seems nice. If you truly like her and want to marry her, I’ll lend you the money first! I still have some!" Bai Ruxue said it outright without evading, right in front of her father and second uncle.

"Xiao Xue, is the money you have enough?" Bai Daliang asked because although he’d given the money to his eldest daughter, Xiao Feng’s medical treatment would have definitely cost a lot, and he worried she might not have enough and might use Xiao Yuan’s money.

Even though the two were already engaged, talking about using Xiao Yuan’s money didn’t feel right.

Don’t ask why he thought Bai Ruxue used Zhang Yuan’s money; looking at Zhang Yuan’s wealthy family, he could only think that way, not imagining any other sources.

The same thought crossed Bai Dajiang’s mind, evident from his gaze.

"Enough! The old lady also gave me a month’s salary!" Bai Ruxue said.

She understood the look in her dad and uncle’s eyes but didn’t pay attention. After all, Zhang Yuan’s side was quite handy for her to use; let them think what they wanted.

"Xiao Xue, how can Uncle borrow money from you? I’d rather wait until I’ve saved enough myself. It won’t take more than a few months! After waiting so long, a few more months won’t matter!" Wang Yongsheng refused.

"You take the money and get married first. It’s the same as paying me back after you get your salary! Here, make it a nice round number! I’ve got a hundred yuan for you!" Bai Ruxue said while taking out ten ten-yuan bills from her purse, actually from the supermarket space, and handed them to Wang Yongsheng.

"Xiao Xue... this..." Wang Yongsheng hesitated to take it.

"Yongsheng! Just take it! I’m earning money for the family now; use this money to get married first! Don’t delay the wedding!" Bai Daliang said, then took the money and put it directly into Wang Yongsheng’s hand.

Regardless of whether this money was Xiao Yuan’s, at this point, it was taken from his daughter’s hand, and he knew his brother-in-law wouldn’t feel right taking it if he remained silent.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law! Then Xiao Xue, consider this borrowed; I’ll be sure to pay you back every month!" Wang Yongsheng was deeply moved.

"You only need to pay back half your salary each month; you’ll still need money to live on, right? You’re going to have a wife soon, need to support a family!" Bai Ruxue inadvertently said something adult-like, startling herself, and then quickly corrected, "Uncle, you should go apply for leave! Go back and get married!"

"Well, I just started not long ago; can I take leave? Will I get fired?" Wang Yongsheng hesitated.

"It’s fine, just tell them you’re going home to get married; it only takes a day anyway. Bring Aunt over here for a few days, having her ask the team leader for a permission slip for you to take leave is easier! You only need two days off!"

"Alright, I’ll try, and if possible, I’ll take leave to go home tomorrow!" Only now did Wang Yongsheng realize he was about to get married. Even though he had been dating Niu Yingying for over six months, her parents had always opposed it and he never thought getting married would come so suddenly.

"Eat up, quickly! After the meal, I’ll head out to buy some wedding supplies and tidy up your dorm! Bringing Aunt to stay over can’t happen if it’s still a bachelor’s dorm!" Bai Ruxue said, eating from her bowl.

"Yongsheng..." Bai Daliang and his brother chatted with Wang Yongsheng about the wedding, and Bai Ruxue didn’t interrupt, focusing on her meal.

However, the three men didn’t dare overstep in conversation with a younger generation present.

After dinner, Bai Ruxue cleared the table, tidied up the dishes, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

She bought a lot of stuff, like making two sets of bedding for the couple, buying washbasins, toiletries, and a mirror. She also needed to make a set of new clothes for them.

Bai Ruxue bought some festive red fabric, perfect for making a top for each of them, with black fabric for the pants. As for the bedding fabric, she directly got it from the supermarket space, bringing out a plain-colored, pure cotton sheet, measuring 2.3 by 2 meters. At this time, bedding was made for singles, so she made two sets.

These items could be considered her mother’s wedding gift for her brother.
