Gu Li held a pen and paper and suddenly thought of something. “By the way, since Zuo Huo is my son-in-law, bring him along when we visit our relatives tomorrow. He can also get to know our relatives!”
“Okay! Thank you, Aunt Gu!” Zuo Huo replied and picked up another steamed dumpling for Song Yao.
Song Yao was also considerate. She picked up a lot of pickled vegetables for Zuo Huo and refilled his cup with soy milk.
Seeing how sweet her daughter and future son-in-law were, Gu Li was overjoyed. She smiled and said, “Why are you still calling me Aunt Gu? You have to change how you address me in a few days!”
Hearing this, Zuo Huo immediately blushed.
“Mom!” Song Yao smiled. “There are still a few days left..
Gu Li also knew that the two of them were shy, but as elders, she had to remind them.
Gu Li said, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. The two of you are about to get married. You have to go through the necessary procedures!”
Zuo Huo immediately said, “Aunt Gu, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared the betrothal gifts and camper van! I’m just waiting to marry Yao!”
After Zuo Huo finished speaking, he took out two property deeds and a set of car keys from his pocket as if he was prepared.
Gu Li was even more dumbfounded. She didn’t want too many betrothal gifts, but what was wrong with Zuo Huo? He actually took out his own registry. Was he afraid that Song Yao would suffer with him after marrying into the capital?
Gu Li subconsciously felt that Zuo Huo was quite silly. Unexpectedly, when she opened the registry, she was even more dumbfounded!
It was one thing to have a big courtyard in the capital, but it was actually more than a hundred square meters! More importantly, Song Yao’s name was written on the registry!
“You…” Gu Li trembled for a long time and did not dare to say anything.
Who would use a house book as a betrothal gift? Gu Li had never seen it before!
In their town, there were very few families who could afford a dowry of 500 yuan and three large items, let alone something as important as the name under the house and car!
Did Zuo Huo… place all his assets in Song Yao’s hands?
Gu Li’s eyes immediately turned red. “Actually, you don’t have to. You don’t have to…
“What’s wrong with you?” Zuo Huo was dumbfounded. Could it be that the sincerity he gave was not enough?
He quickly said, “My betrothal gift is on the way. I’ll have my brothers send it over in a few days.. “No need!” Gu Li stopped Zuo Huo. “Why are you so generous! How are you going to live in the future?”
She felt that Zuo Huo was being too honest, but Zuo Huo thought that Gu Li was angry and insisted, “I just wanted to give Yao the best!”
Gu Li was caught between laughter and tears. “I just think that you’re too good to Yao and will spoil her!”
Zuo Huo smiled and looked at Song Yao. “If I don’t dote on Yao, who should I dote on? Shouldn’t I treat her well when I get a wife?”
Good things were about to happen. Even the matter of visiting relatives during the new year became busy and joyful.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, her aunt, Song Lan, and her family came to visit.
She heard that her second cousin, Sun Nan, was working in a steel factory in Pengcheng. His monthly salary alone was more than 30 yuan!
Song Lan’s eyes lit up when she mentioned this to Gu Li. She kept praising Sun Nan for being smart, as if she was not the one who had firmly disagreed with her youngest son working in the south back then.
“Nan even bumped into Wu Xia in Peng City this time…” At the mention of this, Song Lan let out a long sigh.
“I heard that she and her current man are not living well in Peng City. That man smokes and drinks and does everything. As long as his heart is troubled, he will take it out on Wu Xia. Why do you think she’s doing this?”
Speaking of Wu Xia, Song Yao had not heard her family mention her for a while. Ever since she ran to the south with the men in the village, Song Lan and Sun Hao had been taking care of Little Hu.
He wondered if he missed his mother after not seeing her for so long.
“Aunt, why didn’t Little Hu follow us?” Song Yao asked.
Song Lan sighed again. “Don’t mention it! When Little Hu heard about what happened, he locked himself in his room and refused to come out! I’ve already tried to persuade him, but this child won’t listen! Why do you think a five or six-year-old child thinks more than an adult?”
Song Yao remained silent. How could she not think too much about it?
Her own mother had eloped with a man in the village, and she was not his father’s biological son. Even if Grandma did not say anything, the others in the village would inevitably run to Little Hu and gossip.
What did a five-year-old child like him do wrong?
Song Yao said, “You should coax him more. I think he won’t feel good either.”
Song Lan sighed again. “Wu Xia has been married to my son for so many years, and we haven’t mistreated her.. How can she be so heartless?”
