As soon as he entered, he saw a room full of people looking at him. He stopped shyly and said to Aunt Yi, who looked over in dismay. “Auntie, look at me, the gold chain, and the car outside. All the money in my sack came according to your request. That, I …”
As he spoke, his eyes glued to Yi Zhilan, who looked over with red eyes, “I want you and uncle to agree to my marriage with Lan Lan.”
After that, Wei Mingyan suddenly felt that something wasn"t right, “why are you crying? What"s the matter? ”
There were a lot of people standing in the room, but no one spoke.
It"s not that n.o.body wanted to talk, it"s just that everyone was shocked and speechless.
Hun Zi, he drove a car back?
It occurred to them; when he left a month ago, he promised to bring back 2,000 yuan. They secretly did not believe it. But now, he even drove a car back!
Before, they also said that the Yi family was pitiful to have a daughter like that. But now, a golden son-in-law fell from the sky, right after they sympathized.
Finally, Uncle Yi reacted first. His stiff mouth opened and he asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Is the car yours?”
“Yes, isn"t Lan Lan going to school tomorrow? It isn"t convenient to go by train. I just bought a car and I can drive her directly to school and we could bring her luggage. I could have come back earlier; if I bought a bus fare, but I drove all the way back. Thankfully, I was able to catch up."
As Wei Mingyan spoke, his eyes couldn"t help but fall on Yi Zhilan, who had not responded to everything just like everyone. Those pair of eyes obviously look so in love, the people in the room finally noticed.
“Hun Zi, you, you are rich?”
“Not to mention making a fortune. I got on a truck and sold goods everywhere. Then I made some money and went to buy some stocks. I was lucky and made a lot of money.”
After saying this, Mingyan asked again, “What"s wrong with all of you? Why is everyone here?”
He talked and acted as before, which made other people feel less like they were dreaming, and their heads cleared up enough to tell him.
“Too much! I"ll find them! “
Seeing that Wei Mingyan said so, and was about to turn around and leave, the others stopped him at once. “It"s no use for you to go. They left old third"s place this afternoon and took the train. No one is there now.”
Wei Mingyan approached Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi and comforted them. “Uncle and Aunt, don"t worry, I have money. Lan Lan can go to college. You can also enjoy your lives, so let me and Lan Lan be filial to you.”
The two-old people have not recovered yet and didn"t understand how things have become like this.
Just now, they wept bitterly over the loss of Lan Lan"s tuition money. In the blink of an eye, Hun Zi became a big boss.
Not only both of them but the villagers also felt that the situation has changed too fast.
But anyway, this is a good thing!
Knowing that they would definitely discuss the wedding, the others spoke a few words and went out.
They just felt excited and amazed. It made them feel like they wanted to catch someone who didn"t see what happened and tell them about the scene just now.
There are no other recreational activities in the village. People usually gather together in twos and threes to gossip about the villages, so news travels very fast.
Seems like the whole village will know about Hun Zi returning in a car and wearing a gold necklace in less than one night.
When everyone else left, Wei Mingyan took his two slender legs towards Yi Zhilan"s side and handed her a silver necklace from his pocket.
“Lan Lan, I bought it for you.”
He said, fearing that Yi Zhilan might misunderstand that he would not buy gold, he explained, “I don"t think those people who wear gold necklaces are good-looking at all. This white one I bought you, is a platinum necklace. It"s popular in the city these days. You would surely look good in them.”
Yi Zhilan still feels like she"s in a dream, she paused for a while before taking the necklace, “Mingyan …”
“I said I would make a good life for you!”
The girl looked at her lover smiling at her, he was a little childish and a little proud.
“You won"t suffer anymore.” With this, he picked up the sack and opened it for Yi Zhilan to see. “Look, all this money belongs to us.”
Looking at the money inside, Yi Zhilan looked dazed, “Why did you put it in a sack?”
“Aunt wanted it that way.”
The man said rightfully, “Aunt Chen told me. A gold chain, driving a car and a sack full of money.”
As he spoke, he looked blankly to one side. Looking at Aunt Yi; who had forgotten herself that she was crying, “isn"t that right, Auntie?”
Aunt Yi: "…" She just said it casually.
Who knew, Hun Zi would actually do it!
At this point, there will be no doubt about their marriage.
There"s just a little disagreement about when to get married.
Wei Mingyan insisted that the wedding should be held early and that it should be held as early as tomorrow.
“Uncle, it"s not that I don"t want to make it into a big occasion. Looking at Lan Lan going to school, and I"m setting up a company in the city where she is going to school. A lot of things are waiting. Why don"t we do it this way… Lan Lan is not old enough to get married. Let"s just have the toast tomorrow. Even if it"s just once. Then, we"ll make a big wedding when Lan Lan is of age. What do you think?"
(the toast = serving tea to parents, and the sharing of the first nuptial wine.)
Uncle Yi did not know how to refuse for a while. If he could just still say that he would settle the matter first and discuss it slowly. But now, Lan Lan obviously wants to go to college with Wei Mingyan"s money. If she gets engaged first, he would not be able to say anything in the future.
“You"re in such a hurry, and our family is not prepared for anything. It wouldn"t look good if you get married like that.”
Wei Mingyan clapped his hands and promised, “Leave this matter to me. You and Aunt could go to rest first. I promise that tomorrow"s wedding will be a beautiful one and will be very pleasing.”
Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi looked back with every step. They went back to their room without worrying. In this small room, only Wei Mingyan and Yi Zhilan were left.
The two of them were originally lovers. As soon as the elders left, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
