Chapter 1000: 238: Total Outbreak!_5

Not only is the income low, but there’s also the need to support three elders and a child. What money could such a family have?

When encountering a golden son-in-law like him, one must definitely hold on tight!

In the entire family, only he has a monthly salary over a hundred!

Zuo Ling felt a full sense of superiority in his heart!

Shangguan Xi didn’t have the heart to deflate Zuo Ling’s pride and also wanted to leave a good impression of her family in his heart. She knew some things clearly herself and lightly said, “My parents have a particularly good impression of you, especially my aunt and my younger aunt. After you left, the two of them were still praising you.”

“Really?” Zuo Ling asked.

“Really!” Shangguan Xi nodded.

Zuo Ling then said, “So, should we start discussing our wedding date now?”

Shangguan Xi’s face flushed momentarily, “This… this is not urgent…”

“Xiaoxi, I’m already twenty-three this year!”

The eighties were not like later times; back then, people advocated for early marriage and childbirth. Some college students were still studying when they had children! And there were some who attended college while having children.

Someone like Shangguan Xi was already considered an older youth.

The most crucial issue was that Shangguan Xi was somewhat traditional. Normally, Zuo Ling couldn’t even hold her hand, let alone other things!

Twenty-three is an age easily prone to impulsiveness.

Shangguan Xi continued, “You’ve met my parents, but I haven’t met your uncle and aunt yet. I also don’t know if your uncle and aunt are satisfied with me…”

Zuo Ling said with a smile, “You can rest assured about that, Xiaoxi. You’re beautiful and well-educated. My parents will definitely be very satisfied with you. How about this, let’s set a time for you to visit my parents, and then arrange a day for the parents on both sides to meet?”

Shangguan Xi nodded, “That’s possible.”

Having resolved the issue of having children, Shangguan Xi felt much more relaxed. On the way to the dormitory, she even hummed the popular song “Sweet Honey.”

No sooner had she returned to the dormitory than Shangguan Xi found an additional message on her pager from home.

Shangguan Xi put on her coat again and went to a public telephone booth to call back home.

The person who answered the phone was Ni Cuihua.

Ni Cuihua was informing Shangguan Xi about Wu Yanyun’s situation.

Although Wu Yanyun and Shangguan Xi weren’t related by blood, they were now a family, and since it was a family matter, she should inform Shangguan Xi.

It was the least form of respect.

Shangguan Xi was a sensible and good child and immediately said she would return home tomorrow.

She was also very happy that Ni Cuihua was willing to tell her about this matter.

Meanwhile, at the Wu Family.

Wu Jinshu did not tell Wu Yanyun about the situation immediately but quietly spoke to Yan Erju about it.

After hearing this, Yan Erju exclaimed in surprise, “Really?”

Wu Jinshu nodded, “What kind of question is that? Would I joke about such a matter?” After saying this, he continued, “It’s not only our Yanyun who was abandoned as a child, but also Yangyang’s third and fourth sisters. However, we can’t blame their mother for this…”

Yan Erju sighed after listening, “We really can’t blame Yangyang’s mother for such a thing. Just look at your mother, and you’ll understand! If it weren’t for Yangyang, wouldn’t our Yanyun have been sold to the Wu Family?”

Upon mentioning this matter, Wu Jinshu bowed his head in shame.

After they had moved here, Grandma Wu hadn’t given up. After some inquiries, she and Wu Jinjin found this place. But on their way here, she had slipped and became a vegetable, still lying in the hospital to this date!

Wu Jinjin was afraid of being responsible and hid himself away. As a son, Wu Jinshu had to take care of her, now bearing a medical expense of twenty yuan per month!

Fortunately, the construction company was now making quite a bit of money each month, so this twenty yuan didn’t exert too much pressure on them! Otherwise, life would really have been impossible to continue!

Also fortunately, Grandma Wu’s fall made her a vegetable; otherwise, who knows how much trouble she could have caused later on!

She might even have taken this opportunity to fiercely extort a sum from the Ni Family.

Wu Jinshu knew it was wrong for a son to have such thoughts, but he couldn’t help it. Whenever he thought of his mother’s actions, he became very angry.

Wu Jinshu then said, “When should we tell Yanyun about this matter?”

“What do you think?” Yan Erju was unsure as well.

At the same time, she was somewhat worried. After all, the Ni Family’s conditions were so good, what if Wu Yanyun didn’t want them as his foster parents after knowing about this matter?
