Chapter 606: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (145)
After explaining the situation, Su Xiangran didn't care much and even took out a gold bar from her bag.
"Just keep it simple." She said in a relaxed tone, as if she didn't care about it. "You should report it, and we should prepare for the wedding. As for the money, you don't have to worry about it at all.
When I left Haishi, I brought all the valuables I could take with me."
Looking at the gold bars that were forced into his hands, Song Chengjing was stunned, and then quickly came to his senses.
He suddenly realized that his "little girl" was very far-sighted and strategic.
"Don't even mention that you still get paid at the butcher shop. Even if you have nothing now, I can still support you for the rest of your life." Su Xiangran patted his chest and said confidently, "The things I have are enough for us to eat, drink and have fun for several lifetimes."
So, his Xiaoran has become a wealthy woman now?
Looking at Song Chengjing who was still unable to come back to his senses, Su Xiangran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Look how scared you are. It's just a gold bar. There's no need to be so surprised."
In fact, it’s not that Song Chengjing had never seen gold bars before, but he was still very surprised to see Su Xiangran take out the gold bars so nonchalantly.
Song Chengjing had been living in poverty in recent years, so he was quite shocked when he suddenly saw this "huge sum of money".
Song Chengjing calmed himself down. He was not a shy person, so he looked at Su Xiangran seriously and said, "Okay, I know what to do, and I will get it done as soon as possible.
Qiu Cheng’s wedding may not be too luxurious, but I will definitely not lack you for what you need.”
Su Xiangran tapped the other person's forehead: "You won't need me! Qiucheng isn't a place that has everything, you can do whatever you want. But we still have to buy a house as soon as possible. Although it's not named 'Song Mansion', we can still use 'Zhou Family' as a sign."
Song Chengjing couldn't help but feel happy. He hugged the woman in his arms tighter and promised earnestly, "Don't worry, I will work hard to make money to support the family in the future."
Su Xiangran suddenly said, "I don't want you to promise me this."
"Xiao Ran?" Song Chengjing was a little unsure of her thoughts, but still said, "You can do whatever you want."
"You promise me: once we get married, we will only be separated by death in this life, and never by life." Su Xiangran's words shocked Song Chengjing's heart.
But some things are always beyond one's control. He didn't know if he could do it, so he didn't dare to agree easily.
"You don't dare to agree to me?" Su Xiangran was very dissatisfied, so she twisted his waist again.
"Hiss!" Song Chengjing could only breathe in pain, but he immediately explained, "It's not that I don't dare, I'm just afraid..."
"It's okay, just do your best." Su Xiangran certainly understood his concerns.
Song Chengjing was very touched by Su Xiangran's understanding of him.
When they heard footsteps, they both knew that it was the maid who had just gone out who came back. In order not to arouse suspicion, the two of them quickly separated and sat back in their seats.
The maid knocked on the door a few times, and after getting permission, she took the snack paper package and went into the private room.
Following behind her was the shopkeeper Xiao Zhao, who came to serve tea.
Seeing that the person had other intentions than drinking, Song Chengjing's anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
"How can I trouble Shopkeeper Zhao to personally deliver tea?" Su Xiangran said indifferently.
"Yes! You are too polite." Song Chengjing, who turned into Zhou Jing again, said with false enthusiasm, "I have already made an appointment with Miss Yao. I will send you an invitation after the wedding is arranged. You must come early then."
Shopkeeper Xiao Zhao didn't quite believe what he said, so he looked at Yao Huang with a questioning look.
Su Xiangran lowered her head slightly shyly, maintaining Yao Huang's character.
After that, many things developed in the direction of rationalization.
Zhou Jing first asked a matchmaker to bring the betrothal gifts he had prepared to the Yao family to propose marriage.
Then he used a small piece of the gold bar to buy a small courtyard in Qiucheng, located between the butcher shop and Yong'an Hall.
Wu Yong was somewhat surprised to see that his nephew could still afford to buy a house, but he was more happy.
The wedding of the two was being prepared in an orderly manner.
Of course, before doing these things, Song Chengjing had already reported to the organization.
I thought it would take a long time to get a reply, but I got the notification that my application was approved in less than ten days.
It is said that it was the No. 3 leader who nominated and approved it.
Later, when the two of them talked about this matter, Song Chengjing learned that Su Xiangran had saved him before.
Because it was a turbulent time, there was not much to prepare, and a month later, the two finally officially became husband and wife.
This year, Su Xiangran was already twenty years old, and Song Chengjing was already over thirty years old.
After waiting for fourteen years, Song Chengjing was finally able to openly embrace the person he had loved for many years.
Although the process was tortuous, at least the lovers finally got married.
Su Yanqing, who was at the back, only learned about his sister's marriage several months later. Although he was reluctant, he also felt sorry for his friend's difficulties.
At this point, he was the only single person left out of the original trio.
