Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 298: The Wedding Is Set

"Third Sister, all you know is eating!" This time, Little Chuan didn’t argue with his Third Sister. He just said this listlessly, then stood weakly beside his eldest sister.

"Little Chuan, is something wrong? Tell your eldest sister, maybe I can help?" Xiao Xue also noticed something unusual and quickly put down what she was holding to ask.

"It’s nothing, just... Brother said Brother-in-law is here to marry you this time. Isn’t getting married going to the Capital City? Then it’d be hard to even see you, so..." Little Chuan said with his head down.

As soon as he said this, the others who had been laughing also fell silent, even Lin Xia stopped making any noise.

"How about living in the Capital City with your eldest sister?" Xiao Xue smiled as she tapped each of their heads while asking.

"Going to the Capital City? Big sister, are you serious?" Little Chuan was the first to jump up. If he could go with his eldest sister, then his worries would be solved.

"Of course, what your eldest sister says is true!" Zhang Yuan had already been standing behind them at this point. Hearing Xiao Xue say this made him feel reassured, and only then did he realize the little girl had been teasing him all along.

"Brother-in-law, you knew all along?" Lin Xia asked for the first time.

"Alright, alright! Hurry up and go cook!" Xiao Xue was caught in the act and quickly waved the youngsters away to get busy.

In a bit, she still needed to head to the inn to pick up Zhang Yuan’s father. That family can be picky, but right now, it’s their good fortune, so she’ll tolerate it, to avoid any trouble.

"Alright..." The youngsters dispersed with a cheer, and Xiao Xue walked into the kitchen with a smile to start cooking.

Her cooking was famously delicious, so whenever guests arrived, if she was home, she’d definitely be the one to cook.

Plus, her grandparents liked her cooking as well, so Xiao Xue took on the duty of cooking without hesitation.

Inside, the five elderly were already chatting happily, with Wang Cuihua and her husband serving tea, and a large table of snacks and fruits was spread out.

Most of the fruits were taken out from the storage by Xiao Xue, large, juicy and sweet, a rarity even for Kyoto people.

"Big Brother, for us farming folks, there’s not much to say. Since the two children are already engaged and of age to marry, let’s have them get married!" As the biological grandmother, Bai Xianglan had the most say. Since the old man had just said they came to discuss the children’s marriage, she opened up.

"Yes! Good, good! This is great!" The old man slapped his thigh, feeling that he had quickly integrated since arriving here, even becoming a little unrefined.

"Little Sister, I just love hearing you talk, you’re so forthright!" The old lady extended her hand to grasp Bai Xianglan’s hand, showing their sisterly bond.

"As long as the kids are happy, we’re content. Since you don’t mind our Xiao Xue’s background, I think you’re definitely a good family! We’ve been observing Xiao Yuan for a while, the child is really good! And he’s good to our Xiao Xue too."

"Isn’t that right! That child is really good! We’re all quite satisfied!" Grandpa Wang added on the side.

The whole family was joyous, and amidst the laughter, they decided on the children’s marriage.

"Do you have any customs here? Let’s discuss and pick a good day soon for the kids’ marriage!" The old man seized the opportunity to finalize the marriage arrangement for the two of them.

"We don’t have many customs here, just a normal wedding, and then sending off the bride would be it. But... the Capital City is so far, sending off the bride is a bit difficult!"

Lin Daliang and Wang Cuihua sat on the side listening, the elders were discussing, so they just attentively listened.

"No worries, I’ll arrange it. Just confirm how many people from your side want to join the wedding procession when the time comes! We can’t have our Xiao Xue girl getting married without her family to send her off." The old man said, patting his chest.

"This... it’s too troublesome! The Capital City is so far..." Wang Cuihua couldn’t help but interject.

"Leave it all to me, everything can be arranged, don’t worry about the trouble!" The old man added another sentence.

The old lady looked at her husband, feeling that he appeared quite tall and sturdy at this moment.

Just like that, they set the wedding date for an auspicious day seven days later. The old man especially emphasized that anyone who wants to send off the bride shouldn’t be left behind — he’ll arrange a carriage if needed to take everyone to the Capital City. Once there, everything is arranged, so they don’t need to worry.

The main concern was that their girl shouldn’t be wronged, but while the wedding date was set, the dowry hadn’t been given. The old man thought to wait for his son to arrive to discuss it with the in-laws.

As for Zhang Haijun’s family, after arriving at the inn, Zhang Ting lay down immediately, refusing to get up, looking pale, almost depleted from this journey.

One might say she had been in the countryside for a few years, yet how could she be so intolerant of rural life? Besides, throughout the journey, she hadn’t even seen the real rural landscapes, just couldn’t stand the dust on the bus, pretending to be unwell.

Lin Cuifen kept complaining, lamenting her daughter’s suffering, her youngest son getting hit, and more so her eldest son being disobedient, refusing to come to the inn. What if he returns home covered with fleas, how would it spread to the family?

Hearing this, Zhang Haijun frowned deeply, but he couldn’t bear to yell at Lin Cuifen, so he consoled her, but the more he consoled, the more she escalated.

"That’s enough! If it’s really unbearable, take the kids back to the Capital City first!" Zhang Haijun waved his hand to interrupt Lin Cuifen’s complaints.

"Then we’ll just go back! Hmph..." Lin Cuifen sulked, turning her head away from him.

"I’ll book your tickets immediately! Once you return, you can forget about entering our parents’ home again, and you’ll no longer be recognized as the Zhang family’s daughter-in-law! Is this what you want?" Zhang Haijun showed no intention of backing down.

Hearing this, Lin Cuifen felt even more aggrieved, her eyes turned red, she turned around and started hitting Zhang Haijun, crying and complaining while striking.

"I’ve been married into the Zhang family for almost twenty years, when did the old lady ever acknowledge me? Did she ever show me a kind face? I at least bore two sons and a daughter for the Zhang family, and you’re saying I’m still not as good as Zhang Yuan! Your parents never thought of my children as their grandchildren, did they? All these years, any festering issues should have dissipated, but the old lady still holds onto the trifles, what does that mean? That woman has been dead for years, how could she affect my life? Why should I suffer here for her son?"

"Trifles? Lin Cuifen, how dare you call them trifles? Is human life just trifles to you?"

Zhang Haijun’s voice involuntarily rose, loud enough for Zhang Ting in the next room to hear, frowning as she sat up, yet making no further move.

"Zhang Haijun, are you even human? Did I kill that woman? She died in childbirth, unable to bear the child! She died during labor! You need to remember that! I, Lin Cuifen, did not kill her!" Lin Cuifen was anxious too, speaking each word strongly and clearly.

"If it hadn’t been for you intentionally appearing by her side and saying those things, would she have been so agitated to go into premature labor?" Zhang Haijun was also enraged, questioning harshly as both unearthed old scores, refusing to yield to each other.

Little did they know, Zhang Yuan and Xiao Xue stood at their door, with Zhang Yuan’s veins pulsing, and his fists clenched tightly.
