It's just a few steps away but it's two yuan cheaper, which is quite cost-effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After finishing,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing ignored her parents' somewhat awkward expressions and got up and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Nanxing's parents looked at each other nervously, then asked in a low voice: \"Nan, she wouldn't have guessed it already, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Uncle Xiong\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>looked up at Chen Nanxing's gradually receding back,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>then sighed lightly: \"Nanxing's father, to be honest, Nanxing is really a good girl, it's really a pity, sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If our Taotao were still alive, if Nanxing weren't sick, I would really want these two children to just be together like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even if your family isn't wealthy, there's still me and Taotao's mother. Our two families can help together, Taotao and Nanxing's life would definitely be very happy. In two years, let Nanxing give us a little fat grandson, oh, it's just, I don't know how happy it would be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Uncle Xiong finished speaking, his eyes were already red.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Auntie Li was speechless at this moment and could only let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's mother, however, was a bit unwilling at this time,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>and retorted with red eyes: \"Brother Xiong, it's not that I'm looking down on you, to be honest, with our Nanxing's conditions, if she weren't sick, and your Taotao were still alive, Nanxing might not even have taken a fancy to your Taotao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's not that I'm bragging to you, our Nanxing actually knows many big bosses in the Imperial Capital. That good friend of hers, named Xu Hongdou, is now some kind of director at a five-star international hotel, with an annual salary of several hundred thousand. That Xu Hongdou's boyfriend is even more incredibly wealthy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Our Nannan's special care ward was solved by a word from Hongdou's boyfriend, and she has lived there until now without asking us for a single cent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Chen Nanxing's mother finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>she suddenly couldn't help but cry: \"Oh my, what is this all about? Our Nanxing clearly has a very good future, how, how did it come to the point of having to be matched for a ghost marriage? Nannan's dad, your heart is truly cruel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Uncle Xiong and Auntie Li's faces changed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Nanxing's father hurriedly showed an apologetic smile, first apologizing to the parents of Xiong Tao opposite them,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>then Chen Nanxing's father grabbed Chen Nanxing's mother's hands and said: \"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore, don't let Nanxing see it in a while!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I know this is not good, but we have no other way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although Hongdou's boyfriend paid for Nannan's hospitalization and medicine, we can't afford those other expenses either. Hundreds of thousands, all of it has been spent, we are using money to continue Nannan's life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nannan's mom, you know better than I do what the situation at home is now. We sold everything we could sell, and only that old house is left. Nannan's follow-up treatment still needs money, but our house can't be sold for a good price. Even if we sell the house at a loss, we can only scrape together a hundred thousand or so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If we really spend all this money, where will we live? If Nannan hasn't died yet? Where will we get money from?! We are both workers, no social security, no pension, what will we do for our old age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brother Xiong already said, as long as they take a fancy to Nannan, they will give us six hundred thousand, the condition is just to let Nannan be matched for a ghost marriage after she dies. This is already very good...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"To be honest, six hundred thousand is enough for Nannan to hold on for another year or two. If there is a little bit left in the future, we two old things can also provide for our own old age. Nannan's mom, I've said everything clearly, you can't cry anymore, do you hear me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Nannan's father finished speaking, he stiffened his face and prepared to lecture Nannan's mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Uncle Xiong, who had been sitting opposite without speaking, sighed at this time and said: \"To be honest, I really like this child Nanxing, it's just a pity, there is fate but no destiny. If we can't be relatives when alive, we can only reunite when dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How about this, Nanxing's father, as long as you and Nanxing's mother sign a contract with us, guaranteeing that after Nanxing passes away, the ghost marriage ceremony with Taotao will be completed, I will add another two hundred thousand for you, a total of eight hundred thousand, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This extra two hundred thousand, I also hope that Nanxing can live a little longer and complete those unfulfilled wishes of hers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Uncle Xiong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Nanxing's parents, waiting for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father bit his lip tightly, his right hand trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a long while,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Nanxing's father still couldn't make up his mind and could only squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying: \"Brother Xiong, let me think about it again, I beg you, let me think about it again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-16T19:41:50.437Z","2026-06-17T08:56:24.023Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c799971b03c08e65f4c6a2e200ff262ec155735d015a67ffe455d597e8f0a79a","joyful-youth-many-children-many-blessings-starti-chapter-429","joyful-youth-many-children-many-blessings-starti-chapter-427",441,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjoyful-youth-many-children-many-blessings-starti-cover.jpg"]
