Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

Chapter 637: Mother Mu

Because it was a requested day-off, he got to continue to work the next day. Zhou Xuan and He Mian Mian returned first in the evening.

He drove back in He Family's car.

Lin Qing He returned after sending them off and said: "Say, our second seems a bit like marrying into old He Family. How about buying him a car for traveling?"

"No need. When they get married, old He Family will give it as a dowry." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

"You're overthinking." Lin Qing He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If it was later generations, then drop it. Many women's families were willing to give a car as dowry. That's because later generations' cars weren't too valuable.

At this moment, it cost tens of thousands. Which was more expensive than a house. Few people were willing to gift this.

"We'll see. He only come back once or twice a month." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Lin Qing He felt that he was unreliable, but didn't say anything. It was fine to take it slowly. At the moment, the family's finances were indeed a bit tight.

After all, they had just borrowed so much money.

He Mian Mian went back with Zhou Xuan. She and Zhou Xuan arrived at He's house and sat around. Then she let him go back.

Mother He couldn't help but pulled her daughter aside and asked, "Where have you all been today?"

"Today Zhou Xuan's family moved home. We went over. Didn't I tell my Eldest Brother? Didn't he tell you." He Mian Mian replied.

"Your eldest brother is very busy. Where do her have time to mind your affairs?" Mother He said: "You didn't tell your mom clearly last time what's the situation in Zhou Xuan's family?"

"Isn't Zhou Xuan wonderful? Mom, why are you holding onto this question?" He Mian Mian asked.

"You silly girl, what do you know? If you marry Zhou Xuan, then can you not let me, your mom ask these things?" Mother He uttered.

"Alrught, alright. You ask. I will answer you." He Mian Mian saw her persistence and can only surrender.

Mother He naturally didn't hold back: "What is Zhou Family's conditions? Don't pull those nonsense on me. There's nothing wrong with Zhou Xuan. Both your dad and I are very satisfied. But you have to be honest about his family."

"I have told the truth. The conditions in his family are especially excellent. A family of college students. A veritable scholarly household." He Mian Mian told: "We went over today. To his family's new home. The previous one was an apartment building..."

"Apartment building?" Mother He widened her eyes when she heard this.

The conditions in these apartment building were very poor. She had seen it before. It was inconvenient to do anything. Only those with bad conditions at home would live in that kind of place.

"Their apartment building isn't too bad. Anyway, that's in the past. Today, their family moved to a courtyard dwelling!" He Mian Mian hurriedly said.

Mother He didn't believe it: "Previously lived in apartment building. Now live in a courtyard dwelling? Do you know what the price of a courtyard dwelling is now?"

"I know. Like ours, it would cost hundreds of thousands. Mom, Zhou family's isn't any worse than ours," He Mian Mian responded.

Mother He looked at her daughter suspiciously.

"Mom, I really didn't lie to you. Zhou Xuan's mom was originally the director of Bei University's foreign language department. However, she gave birth to a young daughter, so she didn't go to work. But below, the brothers are all high-achieving students from Bei University. As for his dad, didn't Zhou Xuan say that he was a self-employed in business last time?" He Mian Mian said.

"And then?" Mother He looked at her.

"Mom, don't you know? His family has a lot of business." He Mian Mian spoke. She grabbed the Dahongpao tea on the table and continued: "Mom, look at this Dahongpao. This is what he got from their family's tea shop. And the abalones and sea cucumbers he brought over last time? They are also sold from their dried good shop. There's also clothing shops."

Mother He was a little dumbfounded: "There are so many? Then why haven't I heard Zhou Xuan mention it?"

"It's not just Mom. I haven't heard about it from him. I, myself thought he was a poor boy." When He Mian Mian reached this point, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

And she was very concerned about his feelings. Fearing about hurting his self-esteem, she didn't dare to choose too high-end restaurants when she went out to eat steak and drink red wine.

"Then how do you know?" Mother He asked.

"The last last time we went over, his parents took his little sister out for a trip. We didn't have a place to go, so we went to his grandparent's. She was overjoyed to see me and told me I can help watch these shops in the future. Each and everyone of them disappeared without a trace and it's unsettling to leave them to the people under. Only then did I catch on and ask Zhou Xuan." He Mian Mian explained.

Mother He couldn't help but said: "The family is so rich, why didn't Zhou Xuan mention it?" She thought that the conditions of this son-in-law's family should be relatively ordinary.

"He's always like that. He didn't think there was anything worth saying, so he didn't say anything." He Mian Mian responded.

Mother He glared at her: "Then you told me and your dad that you're settled on him for your whole life when you didn't know anything?"

"That's right. Even if his family's conditions are average, then I'm settled on him. He is he. His family is his family. It's enough as long as he is good." He Mian Mian treated as it was natural.

"That's cause you haven't encountered difficulties!" Mother He coldly snorted.

"No matter how difficult it is, our family isn't afraid. It's not like we can't hold on, right?" He Mian Mian brushed over.

Seeing her like this, Mother He had a twinkle in her eyes. She spoke, "I thought your brain turned into mush after falling for Zhou Xuan."

It went without saying He Mian Mian was deeply in love with Zhou Xuan. There was no doubt about this. Otherwise, why would her dad help him before they got engaged?

Because she liked, she will defend her marriage with Zhou Xuan more and will never allow others to ruin it.

But that was the plan for the worst case scenario. Actually Zhou Family's side didn't make her worry at all. As long as she and Zhou Xuan have no problem, Zhou Family's side will have no problem.

Knew at a glance, her prospective parents-in-law weren't difficult to get along with. They were both very kind.

Looking at the other relatives and one can tell Zhou Family's atmosphere. What she told Zhou Xuan wasn't false. She really liked the leisurely and approachable family atmosphere of Zhou Family.

"Did Zhou Xuan mention about getting married to you?" Mother He wanted it to settle down earlier, so she asked in a hushed voice.

"He said when his eldest brother gets married this year, we will get engaged." He Mian Mian answered with a twinkle in her eyes.

Mother He was satisfied and said, "I don't know when there will be free. Take me over for a visit there?" She can't take her daughter's words as it is. She have to go over and take a look.

"Auntie Lin had told me. She wasn't sure when you are free, but she wants to invite you over for tea." He Mian Mian told.

"Your eldest sister-in-law went back to her maternal home these days. When she comes back, take us there with you." Hearing this, Mother He responded.

Mother He had three children. Eldest son didn't get into politics. Neither did second son. He was studying abroad. The youngest was this daughter. Since it was related to her daughter's marriage, she naturally needed to go there and meet them.
