CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 430: QIN CHUYANG GETS MARRIED

Granny Lu now loves these little animals the most. With two grandsons, one in school and the other at work, she’s left alone when idle. This little puppy can keep Granny Lu company, though it’s just too small, just like Conghua was when first brought home, timid and only able to drink milk. Granny Lu specially bought formula to feed this little puppy.

Qin Xiangnuan gave the puppy a name that was not too pleasing to the ear, yet quite memorable—Congtou.

Yes, Congtou. One named Conghua and one named Congtou, it’s clear they are father and daughter.

Congtou grew quickly. Months later, it became a big dog. The two dogs looked alike, but Congtou was more majestic. It was said that Congtou’s mother was quite big, so Congtou’s size surpassed Conghua’s, and naturally, it looked fiercer too.

The new house of Qin Xiangyang was also decorated and ready. The place was large, with plenty of rooms, and their wedding date was drawing near.

Of course, time passed quickly. Around Qin Xiangnuan’s junior year first semester, the set date finally arrived. Qin Xiangyang and Jin Na had their wedding photos taken and hung on the wall. Qin Xiangnuan embroidered a set of four pieces by hand for her elder brother, with auspicious patterns like mandarin ducks playing in the water, rich and elegant peonies, and a scene of many birds facing the wind. Jin Na’s favorite was several sets of beautiful bedding, which the female teachers at school all adored. These teachers were mostly around the same age, most of them unwed, and being young girls, who wouldn’t have fantasies? And now, wasn’t what Jin Juan had exactly what they all dreamed of?

A handsome husband with a good job, such a big house belonging only to them. Even the decorations inside made them yearn all the more, especially the joyous red four-piece set. If they could have one for their own marriage in the future, how lovely that would be. So they all inquired to Jin Juan about where to purchase it.

Jin Juan couldn’t feel prouder, though she did not show it. But her shining eyes, the happiness in her gaze, each move, and every word, made it obvious she was pleased.

"These were hand-embroidered by my little sister-in-law. She’s studying fashion design. The clothes I’m wearing for the wedding are all made by her hands. This girl is very skillful, not only with good handwriting but also in making great clothes. So, sorry, these can’t be bought."

Upon hearing this, the others were naturally disappointed. Since they couldn’t be bought, that was truly a pity. Nevertheless, it didn’t matter, as long as they built a good relationship with Mr. Jin, they might manage to get a set through his help in the future, even if they had to pay for it.

And these teachers looked at Jin Juan as if she were a top-quality drumstick, each wishing they could take a bite, leaving Jin Juan feeling quite ticklish inside.

Jin Juan would probably never forget in her entire life how beautiful she was on her wedding day – dressed in a pure white wedding gown and a red cheongsam; both the gown and the cheongsam were eye-catching. Not to mention herself, even the guests would remember the bride in her wedding and cheongsam attire, dazzling and captivating, a sight they had never seen before – such beautiful dresses and such a gorgeous bride.

The wedding was merry and bustling. Qin Xiangyang provided everything other grooms would for Jin Juan, and even things they wouldn’t. Although there were no parents-in-law, there was Granny Lu and the step-grandfather from the Jian family. The elders were well respected, and the red envelopes given were generous. Li Dongsheng and the others also came and were happy for days. Everyone had a good time eating and playing, even Conghua and Congtou ate meat for several days and have gotten noticeably plumper.

When Qin Xiangyang got married, he didn’t inform Qin Guohua and Hu Li. It was none of their concern, and it was better that they didn’t come. After all, they weren’t informed about Qin Pengfei’s wedding either. Naturally, Qin Xiangyang wouldn’t tell them either. Did they truly expect Qin Guohua to provide a house and a wife for Qin Xiangyang?

Since Qin Guohua had never treated Qin Xiangyang as his own son, Qin Xiangyang had come to terms with that and did not regard Qin Guohua as his father.

After getting married, Qin Xiangyang lived in the new house. He would come back on weekends to visit Granny Lu. Jin Juan, as a granddaughter-in-law, was particularly respectful towards Granny Lu. When she came back, she would eagerly do all kinds of chores and also liked her sister-in-law Qin Xiangnuan, bringing her lots of little things every visit. Although the gifts were small, they were filled with affection. Qin Xiangnuan really liked her sister-in-law too. Her sister-in-law was good to her older brother and to Granny Lu. Her brother always wore a smile on his face. It seemed that the regrets of the last generation had finally been made right.

Her older brother was alive, grown up, married, and had his own little family. In the future, he would have children, and she would gain another relative – her little nephew or niece. However, she preferred a little niece; she would surely dress her up beautifully.

Why not a nephew? Jin Juan was nearly in tears. "You two siblings are the same; both want a girl. Now, we can only have one child. Although it’s said that it doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl nowadays, the traditional desire for a boy still lingers in people’s hearts for thousands of years."

"Sister-in-law, our family doesn’t have so many rules that my brother absolutely must carry on the family line. Boy or girl, it’s all the same," Qin Xiangnuan said, trying not to burden Jin Juan. Perhaps in a few years, people’s views will change, but for now, there is still a preference for boys, especially when there is only one child. Even if the policy allows for a second child in the future, her sister-in-law would be older, and they fear that she may not be able to have another child. So for their family, whether the first child is a boy or a girl, it’s all the same.

Boys are good; of course, they will love girls just as much.

It has to be said that the compassion of these two truly relieved a lot of stress for Jin Juan. In fact, she was very nervous. Qin Xiangyang was the only male in the Qin Family, and she feared that if she gave birth to a girl, she wouldn’t know how to face the Qin Family or Qin Xiangyang. But now that they all actually preferred girls and even Granny Lu expressed that she loved little girls because she hadn’t seen Qin Xiangnuan as a child, she indeed wished to dote on a little girl.

Hearing all this, Jin Juan also looked forward to having a little girl herself – how wonderful if she were like Xiang Nuan. Her sister-in-law’s face was tender and beautiful. They say daughters often resemble their aunts, so if she really had a child with Xiang Nuan’s lovely face, carrying the baby out would probably earn the envy of many.
