Chapter 183: 183 Two Families' Accounts, Collected in One Day

183 Two families' accounts, collected in one day

"Grandma! I, we, still..."

Tushan Jiu didn't know what to say about this little old lady.

In ancient times, only after a man reaches the weak crown and a woman after the hair-pinning can they present themselves to heaven and earth and marry.

And nowadays it has been changed to follow the rules of the mortal realm.

That's also why, after obtaining the certificate and holding the wedding ceremony, it can be considered a proper marriage; in the Mysterious Gate, lacking either is not allowed, because a marriage not recognized by the mortal realm, even if presented to heaven and earth, will not be 'recorded in the files' by the heavenly dao.

In other words, if you don't have a marriage certificate or a wedding ceremony to worship heaven and earth, even if you present yourself to heaven and earth, it doesn't count.

She hasn't even reached the legal marriage age yet; pushing for marriage is bad enough, but this little old lady has started pushing for children!

Tushan Jiu also didn't know whether to say the old lady was too open-minded.

Seeing her cheeks flushed, Xie Shiyu rubbed her head, held her hand with interlaced fingers, and said:

"Grandma, Jiujiu is still young; we will definitely have children, but we need to wait. Rest assured, we have plans, and our Xie Family unanimously agrees that when we have children in the future, they will take Jiujiu's surname and be entered into the Tushan Family genealogy."

Together with the Xie Family's attitude laid out like this, no one would be uneasy.

The old lady's smile almost split to her ears; she happily said, "Good, good, good, Grandma won't push anymore, won't push anymore, as long as you have plans."

Tushan Jiu secretly let out a breath of relief.

Xie Shiyu smiled, took Tushan Jiu's hand, and lightly scratched her palm.

Tushan Jiu pinched him in response.

Next, the family chatted together for a while.

While they were chatting, Tushan Tu pulled Tushan Jiu aside and told her that he had already known about the matter of the two female ghosts from yesterday; she had been deducted four points.

The punishment notice will be issued to the Nan Cheng office in a few days.

Tushan Jiu shrugged and said, "It's fine, points deducted are points deducted; as long as they don't take all of them from me, it's not a big problem."

Tushan Tu also didn't mind, after all, as the person who has accompanied his granddaughter the longest, he knows her abilities better than anyone.

His granddaughter—well, she is the little pride of their entire clan!

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing, and still that saying: if you're going to use ghosts, speak up; otherwise, what's the point of us holding such high positions down here?"

Tushan Jiu nodded and gave Tushan Tu an OK sign.

After the grandfather and granddaughter finished speaking, they reassembled into the ranks.

Everyone in the Tushan Family is very satisfied with this future son-in-law.

All in all, it didn't exceed an hour, because they all skipped class to come here, especially Gu Meng, whose Meng Po department is really busy.

As they left, all the gifts on the ground, including that big G vehicle, disappeared completely.

The future son-in-law's filial offerings must be taken back to show off.

No matter how realistic this paper car drawing is, it's still no match for a real car!

After leaving the cemetery, Tushan Jiu went with Xie Shiyu to the neighboring office.

Normally, as an ordinary person, Xie Shiyu would not be allowed to enter the office.

But this time he is not an ordinary person; he is a family member.

This time returning to Yun Shi, he really met everyone he needed to see.

Before, some people only knew that Tushan Jiu had gone far away, but they thought she was out to complete the Sword Debt person's KPI; now it's good, everyone knows she went to the Nan Cheng fiancé's family.

From now on, whenever anything is needed and they need to find her, they have to go to Nan Cheng.

But everyone is surely happy for her.

Afterwards, there was nothing else; they simply hung out with Xie Shiyu and played around.

They had also toured all the famous sights in Yun Shi; originally they planned to go to Jiang Shi to play for two more days, but plans changed quickly, Xie Shiyu's project ran into a problem, so they had to fly back first.

Of course, Tushan Jiu didn't go, because she still had to go to Jiang Shi to settle the accounts of the other two families.

Seeing Xie Shiyu off at the airport, knowing she couldn't drive, he left the driver and everything to Tushan Jiu, making it easier for her to go wherever she needed.

On the way back, she took out the white ledger and glanced at it.

The person from the He Family who had paid off the Sword Debt at the He Family had already vanished at that moment, and there would be no further contact.

After sensing a bit, she turned to the page for the two households in Jiang Shi that needed to collect debts.

Coincidentally, these two pages of accounts are adjacent, with only a one-month difference in time, and the time is three years ago.

The first is the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, Jiang Shu, and the prophecy left by grandfather is: collect payment on the day her marriage ends due to violence.

Based on the information in the ledger, she calculated and understood clearly.

Turning to the next page, this latter is Jiang Shu's former bodyguard from the Jiang Family, Shen Zui.

His prophecy is: hands stained with blood, after hardship comes sweetness.

Tushan Jiu's brow twitched slightly, and she flipped her wrist to put away the ledger in her hand.

Tomorrow's time to collect payment is just right; two families' debts, collected in one day.

But for now she needs to go home first; being able to laze a bit is a bit.

It's also a good time to tidy up when returning; the dust cover needs to be laid out again.

The next time it's opened will probably be when she gets married.

Tushan Jiu returned to the mountain, lazed in bed for a little while, and after tidying up the next day, she locked the gate.

As before, she slapped two talismans on the door, then gave the key to Old Lady Wang down the mountain, and still asked the villagers to help look after the yard.

Gatherings are always brief; Tushan Jiu set off for Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi has a branch office of Xie Shiyu's company, and there are also two five-star hotels.

As soon as she arrived, someone was already there to greet her.

Xie Shiyu had arranged everything, which saved her a lot of trouble.

She sent a message to Xie Shiyu.

【Thank you, boyfriend!】

At this moment, Xie Shiyu, who was in a meeting in the conference room, after his phone's special ringtone sounded, multitasking and slacking off, messaged Tushan Jiu, asking what she planned to do later, what she wanted to eat, and recommended several restaurants with different flavors.

In Jiang City there is a branch of the Xie Clan; although that side is managed by Xie Wenmo, he still had Li, the special assistant, inquire in advance.

Originally I planned to go with her, but now I'm sitting in the meeting room myself.

Thinking of this, his resentment grew a bit, his brows slightly furrowed.

At that moment, an executive speaking in the conference room paused briefly, then although he quickly continued reporting the revised plan, his heart remained uneasy, occasionally glancing at his own documents, wondering if he had said something wrong.

But not long after, Xie Shiyu's brows relaxed again, and even the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

He instantly understood: the boss was slacking off.

However, as a veteran employee of the company, he knew Xie Shiyu's abilities—let alone multitasking, even handling three tasks at once he had completely under control, so he naturally didn't dare to relax.

This was originally because of their department's issue; the temporary revision of the building plan pulled the boss back.

If my data were wrong again, I'd probably get scolded.

He took a breath amid his incessant talking, then continued explaining the plan's situation.

And the slacking-off Xie Shiyu soon put down his phone, his resentment clearly dissipated.

Because his Jiujiu said she would bring him a gift when she returns.
