Chapter 651: 181: When did you become so close with her? _4
Even though Shangguan Furong was a bit of a handful, she was, after all, a married woman, living away from the Shangguan Family. Therefore, she wouldn’t have much impact on Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui’s lives.
Ni Cuihua was stunned for a moment, then said, “There’s no rush with this matter…”
“What’s there to rush? You two are nearly forty and fifty years old respectively!”
Ni Cuihua continued: “We are both remarrying and we want the wedding to be simple. All we need to do is get a certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau. There’s nothing much to prepare for.” She had everything she wanted and was already very content.
“How could that be acceptable! When we got married back then, all we needed was a red cloth and a red gown. But times have changed. Now the wealthy are getting married in wedding dresses, looking stunning! Yangyang’s mom, now that you have the means, you definitely should wear a wedding dress at least once!”
Wedding dresses were not yet popular in the countryside of the 1980s.
But in the city, everyone was wearing them!
Wedding dresses had become a popular trend.
Ni Cuihua laughed and said: “They are for the younger ones. I am not so young anymore.”
Ni Chenggui replied, “What does it have to do with age? If you have the means, why not wear it? If you don’t wear one now, you will surely regret it later when you are older.” He then added, “Yangyang’s mom, seriously, when exactly are you and Shangguan planning on holding the wedding? Madam Shangguan is waiting for a response!”
Ni Cuihua considered for a moment, then said, “Hmm, perhaps we’ll hold it in early spring after the Chinese New Year.”
At this time of the year, Ni Yang was quite busy. Little Ni Yun was still small, and Ni Cuihua wanted to spend more time with Shangguan Dehui before the wedding.”
Having experienced a failed marriage once, Ni Cuihua was somewhat fearful of the term ‘marriage’.
Hearing this, Ni Chenggui was relieved.
“Actually, the people of Shangguan Family, including Shangguan Dehui’s sister-in-law Xu Lian, are all very nice. It’s just that Shangguan Furong is a bit off. You know the old saying: ‘Eldest sister-in-law is just like a mother-in-law, youngest sister-in-law is like a noisy gong.’ Be careful with her when you live with Shangguan Dehui!”
‘Eldest sister-in-law is just like a mother-in-law, youngest sister-in-law is like a noisy gong’
This is a folk proverb.
It means that the eldest sister-in-law tends to meddle in her husband’s family affairs, while the youngest sister-in-law is prone to making trouble.
Clearly, Shangguan Furong was no good at all.
Ni Cuihua chuckled, “I won’t be living with her anyway, so what’s there to worry about?”
Ni Chenggui said: “The fear is that she will be nosy and stir up trouble. It doesn’t hurt to be cautious. You wouldn’t want to regret it later if you end up being taken advantage of.”
“Mmm.” Ni Cuihua nodded.
Ni Chenggui continued: “Your future mother-in-law is indeed a good person. She told me today that she agrees to let Shangguan Dehui live with you after the wedding.”
It was rare for a mother-in-law to agree to let her son live in her daughter-in-law’s house.
This arrangement was hardly different from having a stay-at-home son-in-law.
“Really?” Ni Cuihua was somewhat surprised. She was actually quite fearful of living in a large mansion of a wealthy family.
“Absolutely.” Ni Chenggui replied: “Madam Shangguan told me herself. But there is one condition: she hopes you two can visit her once a week.”
Ni Cuihua nodded, “That would only be right.”
After hearing this, Ni Cuihua felt much more relieved.
As the night deepened, Ni Yang saw Mo Qishen off at the edge of the village.
The nights in October were rather crisp. The moonlight cast a silvery sheen on everything.
By the time they arrived at the outskirts of the village, the car hadn’t arrived yet.
Mo Qishen held Ni Yang’s hand, “Yangyang…”
“Hmm?” Ni Yang looked up at him, her long lashes casting dense shadows on her eyelids.
Mo Qishen continued: “When are your mom and Uncle Shangguan planning on holding their wedding?”
Ni Yang was taken aback.
She didn’t expect Mo Qishen to ask this question. She thought that Mo Qishen would have some reservations about the Shangguan Family to some extent.
During dinner, although Shangguan Furong didn’t openly ridicule Mo Qishen anymore, she didn’t show him a friendly face either.
“I’m asking you a question.” Mo Qishen pinched her face a bit.
Ni Yang replied: “Older brother Mo, aren’t you even a little bothered by Aunt Furong’s attitude?”
“Why would I care about what she does?” Mo Qishen replied: “She is her, and Uncle Shangguan is Uncle Shangguan. At the very least, the rest of the people from the Shangguan Family are very polite.”
Ni Yang nodded, “Hmm, Older brother Mo, you’re right.”
“You haven’t answered my question yet.” Mo Qishen continued.
Ni Yang gave a slight smile, “I’m not sure about that either. I don’t know what my mom and Uncle Shangguan have planned.” She had no objections, no matter when the wedding was held.
