Chapter 22: The Wedding
"Okay, then we'll have a wedding banquet next week. I'll marry you before New Year's Day and give birth to a big fat boy for you next year."

Chen Bihua used a little force on her hand, and then Jia Dongxu grabbed her hand in return.

"Okay, give me a son and make Li Zhiguo so angry that he dies."

Jia Dongxu made up his mind that he would definitely have a child before Li Zhiguo.

After a while, Jia Zhang and the matchmaker returned to the house.

Chen Bihua had already sat opposite Jia Dongxu, very well-behaved.

Afterwards, Jia Zhang prepared lunch, and Chen Bihua expressed her feelings after the meal, "Aunt, I like Dongxu.

If Dongxu likes me, I will bring a letter of introduction tomorrow, and get the marriage certificate from Dongxu. I can just give him some money as a betrothal gift."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she even forgot to mention the marriage proposal or send gifts. "Dongxu, what do you think?"

"Mom, I listen to you."

Jia Dongxu was also very eager and wanted to have a wife as soon as possible.

"Okay, then it's settled, Chen Bihua, you go with Dongxu to get the certificate tomorrow afternoon.

We can buy a sewing machine, and the gift is five dollars, is that okay with you?"

Jia Zhang originally wanted to give two pieces.

"Five dollars is good, it's a lot."

Chen Bihua was not unhappy at all, which made Jia Zhang smile.

Then the Jia family sent the matchmaker and the girl out of the yard.

After they walked away, Chen Bihua whispered, "Aunt Zhu, this is done. My family will not treat you unfairly, but you have to keep it a secret."

"Bihua, don't worry. I am a relative of yours. You have been married for two years and you look like a grown-up girl. Others can't tell."

Aunt Zhu only helps her relatives and not the others. This distant niece also has a miserable life. She was married once before, but her husband died within two years, and she became a young widow.

Chen Bihua is twenty-five years old this year, but she tells others that she is eighteen years old.

At this time, Li Zhiguo had already taken Qin Huairu to Xueru Silk Shop.

Before entering the door, he suddenly remembered that there was a spy living in the backyard of Chen Xueru's store.

If he could catch the person in advance...

But this matter is not urgent and needs long-term consideration.

"Brother Li, this store is too Western, let's not go there."

Qin Huairu began to back out as she had never been to such a high-end place before.

"The deposit has been paid, what are you afraid of?"

Li Zhiguo took Qin Huairu's arm and walked inside.

"Yes, we also have a shop."

Qin Huairu then realized that she was no longer a country girl.

"Hey, Li Zhiguo, you are finally here. This is your wife, she is so beautiful."

As soon as I entered the door, I was seen by Chen Xueru.

"This is my wife Qin Huairu. She works in the factory and only has one day off a week. We went back to the countryside last week and didn't have time to come. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Li Zhiguo paused and introduced: "Huai Ru, she is the proprietress of this silk shop. Her name has the word Ru in it, just like yours, Chen Xueru."

"Oh, then we are all of the Ru generation."

How could Chen Xueru not understand how seniority is determined? She was just joking.

"Hello, Madam Boss."

Qin Huairu just felt a little confident, but she suddenly became deflated when she saw Chen Xueru.

"Qin Huairu, how old are you? Let's see if you are the older sister or the younger sister."

Chen Xueru had already come out from the counter, took Qin Huairu's hand, and looked at her.

"I, I'm twenty."

Qin Huairu was a little uncomfortable with the boss lady's enthusiasm.

"Then I have to call you sister. I'm twenty-two."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Chen Xueru seems easy to get along with. In fact, this girl can drive a drunk man into a corner in public.

Li Zhiguo suddenly said, "Boss lady, I'm 23, so you have to call me brother."

"Hey, brother, your wife is still here, and you want to take advantage of me." Chen Xueru is really open-minded.

"I can't argue with you. Let's get down to business. Call the tailor and have him measure my wife's size."

Li Zhiguo leaned on the counter, holding the silk beside him with one hand.

Chen Xueru nodded and immediately asked a waiter to call Aunt Ding who was nearby to come over.

"Come on, follow me inside and have a rest. Your wife is my sister now."

Chen Xueru pulled Qin Huairu inside, and Li Zhiguo had no choice but to follow.

When we arrived at the inner hall, it was also very spacious and had all the necessary furniture, such as sofas.

Qin Huairu was enlightened. She didn't expect there could be such a good place. She wondered how much money it would cost.

For a moment, Qin Huairu felt a sense of crisis.

"Tea or coffee? I don't have any wine here."

Chen Xueru called a female waiter over to pour water.

"Coffee, I'll try what the foreigners drink. Just give my wife a glass of boiled water."

"You'll be disappointed. This coffee only smells good, but it doesn't taste as good as our tea."

Chen Xueru said this, but she waved her hand to ask the female clerk to prepare, while she was looking at the couple.

"Chen Xueru, why are you looking at me? I don't wear silk."

Li Zhiguo joked.

"If you don't wear silk, you can make other clothes."

Chen Xueru fooled them with just one sentence.

After a while, the coffee was served. Li Zhiguo took a sip and frowned.

After chatting for a few more words, the tailor came, a middle-aged woman, and took Qin Huairu to the inner room to measure the size.

Li Zhiguo seized the opportunity to ask, "Boss, your store is really big. Does it have a backyard?"

"No, the backyard belongs to someone else. I can turn it into a tailor shop and make clothes in the shop."

Chen Xueru picked up the teacup and took a sip, her movements very graceful.

"Then why don't you just buy the backyard?"

Li Zhiguo asked tentatively, wanting to know what was going on in the backyard.

Chen Xueru shook her head and said, "I don't know who lives in the backyard. I looked for him several times but couldn't find him. I heard that he was a middle-aged man who was very mysterious. As a woman, I don't dare to talk to him."

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm brave. I'll go with you next time."

Li Zhiguo volunteered, feeling that the credit was within his reach.

"Why are you going with me?"

Chen Xueru wondered, could it be that he really liked her? That was impossible.

"I want to learn your business model. Maybe one day I can open my own store."

Li Zhiguo found a good excuse.

"Oh, it seems you have great talent."

Chen Xueru's words were just a joke. Isn't this just being overambitious?

Li Zhiguo did not explain, "Next time I come to get the clothes, I will go to the backyard with you to take a look."

"Okay, that's settled."

Chen Xueru also feels braver when she sees tall and big people.

After a while, Qin Huairu came out and the tailor praised her as a clothes rack.

"Madam, I'll come pick up the clothes in a few days."

Li Zhiguo saw that it was time for dinner and it was time to leave.

"okay!"

Chen Xueru sent her to the door and gave Qin Huairu a silk scarf.

After Li Zhiguo drove Qin Huairu away, Qin Huairu couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, I see you seem to be quite familiar with Sister Xueru."
