Chapter 94: Xu Damao Also Gets Married
When He Yuzhu was taking Liu Shumin to get their marriage certificate.
Xu Damao was also strolling with Lou Xiao'e on Front Gate Main Street.
"Xiao'e, see what else we need, let's buy everything at once."
"From now on, you are part of our Xu family; I won't let you be wronged."
Lou Xiao'e, after getting to know him over this period, is satisfied with Xu Damao.
Tall, well-known background, and still one of the Eight Great Employees.
His family background is also good.
Moreover, he lives alone, with no mother-in-law conflict, and the house is his own.
The target is someone who now has a car, a house, savings, and whose work is among the top tier.
He can be considered a golden turtle son-in-law.
Even better, she can't find anyone else; others, for their future prospects, won't marry a bourgeois miss like her.
"No need to buy now; we'll add things gradually later."
Xu Damao shook his head repeatedly.
"That won't do; the past is the past, and now is now."
"In the future, you buy things—that's our family's affair; now I'm buying, and this is my intention."
"My parents-in-law said we can't hold a big wedding now; just getting the certificate will do."
"The elders have spoken; I dare not disobey."
"Formally, I cannot give you a perfect marriage."
"In terms of material things, I cannot be stingy anymore."
"Lou Xiao'e, rest assured; once this disaster year passes, I will definitely make it up to you with a proper ceremony."
"Now I will do my best to put our household in order, so you can live comfortably."
Lou Xiao'e truly doesn't care for these things.
"Really unnecessary; the things I use, my mother will send them over."
"We just need to buy some wedding candy."
"Given this year's situation, we should try not to attract too much attention."
"There's no need to invite unnecessary trouble."
Xu Damao's eyes turned red.
"Lou Xiao'e, you're too good, always thinking of me; I feel bad for wronging you."
"No, I have to buy you a watch."
In the end, Xu Damao spent 120 to buy Lou Xiao'e a 19-diamond stainless steel Shanghai watch, and also bought some daily necessities.
The rest were sent by the Lou family, including quilts, wedding attire, pillows, and so on...
Around three in the afternoon.
Xu Damao brought Lou Xiao'e to the Jiedao Office.
Here he ran into He Yuzhu.
When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao, his brows furrowed.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing here?"
Liu Shumin could tell at a glance that these two don't get along.
Xu Damao glanced at He Yuzhu, then at Liu Shumin.
He provoked, saying:
"What's up, He Yuzhu? Is the Jiedao Office your family's business, so only you can come here and we can't?"
Afterwards he grabbed Lou Xiao'e and boasted:
"See? I'm here to get the certificate."
"My wife, Lou Xiao'e."
"Pretty, right?"
He Yuzhu didn't expect Xu Damao to also be here for the certificate, and looked at Lou Xiao'e.
She has a medium figure, curvaceous, fair skin, her face full of collagen, the type where a pinch could wring out water.
Although Lou Xiao'e isn't a top-tier beauty, the noble air cultivated from a wealthy life makes her, in Liu Shumin's presence, evoke the feeling of a swan beside an ugly duckling.
"Xu Damao, such a fine girl following you is like a flower stuck in a pile of dung."
"What a waste of such a good person."
Liu Shumin frowned at the words and twisted Sha Zhu's kidney.
"Speak properly."
"Ah ah ah..."
He Yuzhu immediately wilted.
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
He Yuzhu was also out of his mind, praising another woman in front of his own wife—basically courting death.
Seeing this, Xu Damao almost burst out laughing.
"Let you be as arrogant as you want; later we'll see if you can still be arrogant."
Yang Qing's method of ruining three generations with one wife is absolutely spot on.
Materially, this woman will not only drag you down, but spiritually she will torment you.
This is far more interesting than simply ruining his blind date.
Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu has gotten such a formidable wife—what are you going to do about it?
Lou Xiao'e also sensed that the two of them were a bit at odds, but she is also a carefree type.
She took the initiative to greet Liu Shumin.
"Hello, are you also getting your marriage certificate today?"
Liu Shumin felt a bit inferior in front of Lou Xiao'e, so she behaved very humbly.
"Yeah, you're also here to get the marriage certificate today?"
Lou Xiao'e.
"That's great, we're on the same day."
Liu Shumin smiled and echoed.
"Yeah, yeah, that's too coincidental."
The two women chatted more and more harmoniously, leaving the two men aside.
Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were both a bit dazed.
We two seem not to get along—is it really okay for you two to be like this?
Women's feelings for each other always come about mysteriously.
Just because they got married today, they seem to have formed a deep bond.
Yang Qing over here is still fantasizing about what sparks would fly if those two met.
But he didn't know that the two women had already completed the handshake of the century.
In the evening, after Yang Qing had eaten at the old lady's place, he returned to the Siheyuan.
He happened to run into the Lou family driving over to bring Lou Xiao'e's dowry.
On the other side, the door of He Yuzhu's home also had a 'double happiness' character posted.
At the He family's dinner table, another pair of chopsticks was added.
He Yushui sat timidly beside the table, constantly glancing at Liu Shumin with the corner of her eye.
Seeing He Yushui like that, Liu Shumin felt delighted.
She had originally worried that the sister-in-law would be hard to deal with, but now it seemed the He family was already in her palm.
She also envied Lou Xiao'e's lavish dowry.
But she didn't have that, but she had a cook; from now on she would never go hungry.
Moreover, she hadn't realized how big He Yuzhu's home was.
Two main rooms and one side room.
He Yushui lives in the side room, while the couple lives in the main rooms.
This is really spacious.
(According to the specifications of this Siheyuan, the minimum is a three-bay, seven-frame structure, with a large bay, generally reaching about 4 meters in width, a depth of about 5 to 6 meters, and a height of about 2.7 meters plus the eaves, beams, and columns height of 2 to 3 meters, making it over 5 meters tall.)
That is to say, each room is at least 20 square meters; the two main rooms together are 40 to 50 square meters.
If a mezzanine is built, the usable space on the second floor is also over ten square meters.
If the main rooms are used well, the living space will be very spacious.
Even giving birth to five or six children would be enough to accommodate them.
The situation turned out better than expected, so Liu Shumin's mood improved; in a good mood, she became pleasant toward He Yushui.
"Yu Shui, from now on we are a family."
"Don't be polite, this is still your home."
He Yushui raised her head, a little uncertain about attaining the Dao.
"Really?"
"You won't mind that I eat a lot and spend money on school, will you?"
Liu Shumin gave her a chopstickful of vegetables.
"No problem, no problem—studying is good; get into a technical college and later you'll have a job assignment upon graduation."
"I used to dream of becoming a college student, but family conditions didn't allow it."
"So go ahead and study; your brother won't care, I will."
He Yushui had been anxious and fearful for several days.
All she feared was getting an unreasonable sister-in-law who would mistreat her.
Now it looks not bad.
She happily gave Liu Shumin some tasty food.
"Sister-in-law, eat up—my brother's cooking is delicious."
Seeing the two of them getting along, He Yuzhu also breathed a sigh of relief.
