Chapter 273 Marriage Should Be Done Early
Chapter 273 Marriage Should Be Done Early
A few hours later, around four or five in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and golden rays shone through the balcony into the house, gilding Lin Xueyao, who was sitting on the sofa, like a goddess of light in a game.
Lin Xueyao looked up at the clock above the TV and asked worriedly, "Why haven't Uncle and Aunt come back yet? Could something have happened to them?"
Ye Lan nodded in agreement, "Even if they went to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures, they should be back by now."
Unlike city centers, towns have fewer cars and people, and not many traffic lights, so it's unlikely that buying groceries would take this long.
He immediately prepared to make a call to inquire about the situation.
But just as he took out his phone, before he could even unlock it, a crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out.
"It must be my uncle and aunt coming back." Lin Xueyao's little face lit up with joy, and the same smile that left-behind children have when they learn that their parents have returned appeared on her face.
"Why do I feel like you're more like my parents' child?" Ye Lan said helplessly. After helping Lin Xueyao put on her socks, she got up to open the door.
Outside the door were two men in work clothes, their clothes covered in dust, and next to them was a large rectangular cardboard box.
The two handed over a note. "Your name is Ye Lan, right? Please sign for this."
Ye Lan took the note and found that it was a double bed that Ms. Zhang Fengxia had bought for him. He thought to himself, "This is my real mother. I was just about to go to sleep and she sent me a pillow. She couldn't be more thoughtful."
After Ye Lan signed her name, the two delivery workers immediately got busy, removing the original mattress, dismantling the bed frame, and then assembling a new bed frame.
While the bed was being assembled, the two staff members began to explain its many advantages to Ye Lan.
"This bed frame is made of titanium alloy, and sound insulation pads are installed at every joint to ensure that there is no noise no matter how much you move around. It is perfect for newlyweds like you."
The naive Lin Xueyao was unaware of these things. She leaned against the door frame, staring blankly at Ye Lan's profile, which revealed an evil smile.
A dozen minutes later, the entire bed was assembled. Ye Lan sat on it to check it out, and after confirming that it wouldn't make any noise, she found it harder to suppress her smile than an AK.
That's why the experience of those who have been there before is so important.
As expected of a mother, the things she buys are exactly what her son wants.
Their house is in an old urban area, and the materials used are from the last century. The walls are not very soundproof, and you can hear even a slightly loud noise.
Having this bed solved the problem at its root.
As long as you don't make a sound, others naturally won't hear you!
Then Ye Lan can do whatever she wants.
"Hello, please settle the final payment." The staff member handed over a payment QR code.
Ye Lan stared at the QR code for a moment, thinking to herself, "My mom is such a shrew! She knows I've made some money, so she won't even pay me. Sure enough, a mother's love will slowly disappear over time."
However, he had several million yuan in his hands, which was a huge sum of money, so he didn't really care about spending a few thousand yuan. After all, he was planning to buy this anyway, and it saved him the time of choosing online.
After paying, the two staff members left quickly with their tools.
"Why do you look unhappy?" Ye Lan noticed Lin Xueyao's worried face and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"After we switched to the big bed, I won't be able to hold you while we sleep anymore."
"Nonsense. In the presidential suite, with a bed almost the same size as the room, you still slept while holding me, didn't you?"
"Really? Hehe, I forgot." Lin Xueyao tried to get away with it by being cute.
Ye Lan rolled her eyes, thinking that if Lin Xueyao were a man, he would definitely be a scumbag. His ability to forget what he's done with is perfect for being a scumbag.
Just as Ye Lan was putting away the sheets and duvet covers, her parents, carrying large and small bags, walked happily into the house.
Ms. Zhang Fengxia put down the package in her hand, then took out a red envelope from the pocket of her down jacket. It was bulging and looked like it contained quite a lot of money.
She smiled and waved to Lin Xueyao, "Come here, Yaoyao, this red envelope is for you. Use the money inside to buy some good food, but don't let that little brat Ye Lan spend it."
Lin Xueyao accepted the red envelope with both hands, her bright eyes sparkling. She leaned forward slightly and bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Just call me Grandma, it sounds more affectionate."
Ms. Zhang Fengxia laughed heartily, completely unaware that an embarrassed blush had already crept onto Lin Xueyao's pretty face.
"Mom, it's almost Chinese New Year, where's my red envelope?" Ye Lan reached out her hand, only to be slapped by Ms. Zhang Fengxia.
"You little brat, you're still trying to get married. It's such a big deal that you've been keeping your relationship a secret. It's made us both ashamed in front of our neighbors."
Ye Lan was taken aback, wondering if there was any necessary connection between the two things.
Finally, it was Ye Hao, the father, who spoke up to explain, "It's all because of Aunt Liu across the street. Her son is only a few years older than you, and now her grandson is old enough to run errands."
“Every time the neighbors get together to chat, Aunt Liu always talks about her beloved grandson. Your mother is so envious and jealous, she can’t wait to hold her grandson right away.”
Ms. Zhang Fengxia stubbornly denied it, loudly and angrily retorting, "I didn't!"
Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Her son dropped out of school after junior high and went out to work. It's a good thing that he got married and had children early, after all, he still has the advantage of being young."
"When you get older, you'll find that not only are you ugly, but you also have no money. It will be difficult to find a girlfriend then."
"And I'm not hiding it from you. It's just that my relationship with her was only recently confirmed. It just so happened that no one was home during the Chinese New Year, so I brought her home."
"Really?" Zhang Fengxia knew her son was a smooth talker, so she looked at Lin Xueyao beside her.
The latter nodded blankly.
After careful consideration, Ms. Zhang Fengxia realized that it was indeed the case. Aunt Liu's son was fat and short, like a black boiled egg, while her own son was tall and handsome, so he certainly wouldn't have trouble finding a partner.
According to the school teachers, Ye Lan only needs to beckon to attract a large number of girls.
Fortunately, this guy has only ever been interested in video games since he was a child, and he treats girls like brothers; otherwise, he would definitely be a scumbag.
"But you can't talk about Aunt Liu's child like that. Your mouth is like it's been poisoned. I don't know where you learned that from."
Ye Lan chuckled, "It's far away, yet right before my eyes."
"You brat, you dare to joke with me? I'll beat you to death today."
Zhang Fengxia pretended to hit him, but Lin Xueyao's expression changed drastically. She turned to the side in fear and stood in front of Ye Lan, saying, "Grandma, you can't kill him!"
Everyone present was stunned, especially Zhang Fengxia, who felt immense joy looking at Lin Xueyao's determined yet fearful eyes.
This daughter-in-law is absolutely perfect!
