He Jinxuan led the group to the guest house to settle down first. Once everyone had freshened up, he took them to a newly opened small shop nearby to fill their stomachs.
Afterwards, he brought them back to the family compound.
Seeing the newly tidied courtyard, Mother He understood Thirdâs intention.
Originally, the family had many members visiting this time, so even if all three main rooms were occupied, it wouldnât be enough, let alone one being a bridal room.
Gao Yumei looked at the well-decorated bridal room and got a bit envious: "Third, you made this place look so nice; it must have cost quite a bit, right?"
He Jinxuan glanced at his troublesome second sister-in-law: "It was all done with the help of my colleagues from the transport team, didnât cost much."
As they were talking, someone entered the courtyard: "Third Brother, have Mom and Dad arrived?"
He Jinxuan turned to Mr. He and Mother He: "Itâs Yanqing."
The whole family looked towards the door.
Mother He was the first to walk into the courtyard: "Yanqing."
He Yanqing saw her mother and was very excited: "Mom, I knew you were coming today, but I couldnât switch my shift, so I rushed here as soon as I got off work."
Mother He heard her daughter mention work: "You found a job?"
He Yanqing glanced at her Third Brother but remembered that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had asked him for help finding a job before and didnât want to trouble him, so she didnât mention it: "Yes, I started not long ago, so even though I knew you were coming, I didnât dare to take leave."
Mother He was happy to hear her daughter had a job: "With your Third Brother picking us up and so many people here, itâs not our first time coming over. Even if your Third Brother couldnât pick us up, itâs alright. Work is important."
At this point, He Jinxuan spoke: "I have everything arranged here, and thereâs not much to do now. Might as well take the opportunity to visit the Nie Family."
Mr. He and Mother He exchanged a glance, indeed needing to pay a visit, so they didnât object.
He Yanqing already agreed when leaving, to visit the Nie Family tomorrow.
He Yuejin had wanted to find a chance to remind Third Brother but hadnât found the time.
After seeing off Fourth Sister, he turned around and saw Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law already blocking Third Brother, sighing inwardly.
When he looked up, he met Big Brotherâs gaze.
He Jiefang murmured: "Leave it be, let them mess around; they wonât turn back before hitting a wall, listening to a few flattering words without knowing the limits, thinking too simply."
He Yuejin sighed: "Big Brother, if Third Brother is persuaded by Second Brother, what about us...?"
He Jiefang looked at the talking duo, Second and Third Brothers, wrinkles forming on his brows. This time, Second Brother was determined to do business; since his wife was harmed by Second Brother and his wife, they basically hadnât been on speaking terms.
But Second Brother, having mobility issues and unable to find suitable work, thought of doing business. He sighed inwardly: "Weâll see."
Though Second Brother is reckless, heâs still family, canât just watch him stay defeated.
He Jinxuan faced Second Brother, who finally talked about the real issue: "Youâve already made up your mind?"
He Jian Country nodded: "Third, with my current health, I donât want to be turned down and forced to please people anymore. Now that I can set up a stall and do business, I donât feel humiliated. The kids are growing up fast, I just want them to have a better life."
He Jinxuan didnât directly refuse, nor did he immediately agree: "Second Brother, I wonât hide it from you, Iâve partnered with friends on some other ventures, truly not much cash at hand.
Plus, with my wedding coming up, the expenses are notable, and Iâll need to discuss with Xinyan."
Gao Yumei was somewhat anxious, fearing Han Xinyanâs disagreement could spoil it: "Third, you havenât even married yet, no need to discuss with her on this, right?"
He Jinxuanâs face turned stern: "Second Sister-in-law, I just said I donât have cash now, if I lend to you, it likely means using the wedding gift money, do you think I shouldnât discuss it with Yanyan?"
He did have some money, but didnât want to easily lend it to Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law.
But he couldnât avoid lending it, letting them appreciate Yanyanâs help, and he indeed needed to inform Yanyan, as it would be her call in the future.
