Leaving the Gu family, it was already late. The mountain road was not fully paved, and traveling at night was very dangerous. The few people had to stay overnight in the town. Moreover, only Chen Xiaoli stayed at a small inn, while Yang Jian and the other three had to rest in the car.
This was because they did not dare to stay at an inn yet. Inns might be searched by the police. If a wanted notice was issued from Xichuan, it would be troublesome. Although it was unlikely to happen so quickly, they had to be prepared.
As soon as dawn broke the next day, Yang Jian and the others set off back to Xinhe.
After dropping off Liangliang at home, San Pang, who was originally from Yangjian Village, returned to Yang Jian's house with Liu Chao.
Half a year later, Yang Jian drove a new car home again, and this car was clearly more advanced than the previous one, causing a sensation throughout the village.
More importantly, he brought back a girlfriend. The gossiping mothers and grandmothers from the neighborhood all came to ask for wedding candies,
This caught Yang Shuanglin and his wife off guard, and they directly blamed their son for not calling home in advance, leaving them completely unprepared.
Fortunately, when Yang Jian passed through Xinqiao Town, he bought some candies from his aunt's house, which were enough to appease the women and children.
"Second child, why did you buy another car? Is the construction site finished?"
After the neighbors finally left, Yang Shuanglin had the opportunity to chat with his son. Chen Xiaoli followed her future mother-in-law to the vegetable patch to dig carrots, preparing to stew lamb for lunch.
"Dad, the construction site isn't finished yet. Xiaoli and I came back first to finalize the marriage. As for buying a car, it's because I set up a barbecue stall outside the construction site, which is very profitable. Then, Xiaoli's uncle is the project manager of the construction site. He requires me to buy a car and have a house in Chengguan before he agrees to let Xiaoli be with me. So, I used the money earned from the barbecue to buy the car first."
Yang Jian could only lie. He couldn't say that the money for the car was earned at the casino, or he would be beaten again.
Yang Shuanglin frowned, "Does marrying a wife require such high standards? Car and house? Even people in the city don't have such high standards!"
"It's okay, Dad. The car has been bought, and as for the house, it's not difficult. Yong Ge and I are now doing subcontracting. As long as this project is completed, we'll make a lot of money on the next project. Buying a house or building a house will be a piece of cake."
"Well, your sister told me about your subcontracting. She gave you the money from selling the car and her savings. But be steady, take it step by step, and don't think about getting rich overnight."
"Don't worry, Dad. I still have some money left after buying the car. I plan to give the family fifty thousand yuan, and then return the hundred thousand yuan to my sister."
Yang Shuanglin's eyes widened, "You made so much money selling barbecue? This car looks much more expensive than the previous one. Wouldn't that be hundreds of thousands in total?"
"Dad, this car is just bigger than the previous one. In fact, it's not as valuable as that one. It's just over a hundred thousand."
"That's still a lot. I don't quite believe a barbecue stall can earn so much money?"
Yang Jian felt a headache, "Dad, you don't know, there are thousands of people at our construction site. The barbecue stall is very busy every night. San Pang and Liu Chao are working for me. Earning two thousand yuan a night is normal, sometimes three or four thousand. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
Yang Shuanglin gasped, "You earn so much in one night? Then why did you come back so early? If you continued until the end of the year, wouldn't you have earned the money for the house?"
"Money can't be earned completely. Isn't my marriage with Xiaoli important?"
"Important, important. You get married early, and I want to hold my grandson early."
Yang Shuanglin's face bloomed with a smile. Sending his son to Xichuan for business was indeed the right choice. It was true that filial piety came from under the rod. He had become much more sensible this time.
Liu Xingzhi was also completely satisfied with Chen Xiaoli. Although this future daughter-in-law was not very good-looking, she had a good figure, large breasts, and a big butt, indicating she was fertile.
More importantly, this girl was sensible and sweet-mouthed. As soon as she entered the house, she called her mother, was very affectionate with her, and voluntarily went to the vegetable patch to dig carrots with her, showing no airs at all.
"Xiaoli, why did you, a girl, go so far away to work?"
In the vegetable patch, Liu Xingzhi began to inquire about Chen Xiaoli's background. It was all Yang Jian's fault for not revealing anything about them beforehand, so she could only find out herself.
"Mom, after I graduated from junior college, I went to the construction site. Because my uncle is the vice president of the construction company and also the project manager of that construction site, I helped him run the convenience store. He pays me five thousand yuan a month, which is much higher than the salary of ordinary jobs."
Chen Xiaoli did not mind her future mother-in-law's questioning.
"So you're a college student? And your family is so well-off, won't your parents dislike my second child?"
"No, Mom. My uncle took a liking to Yang Jian, which is why he introduced me to him. My uncle said he is very outstanding, not only understands blueprints but also knows how to manage people. He can become a big boss in the future, and he's also handsome. My parents will definitely like him."
"So, have you discussed when you will get married?"
"We have discussed it. Yang Jian said he wants to finalize the engagement before the end of the year. In a few days, he will ask a matchmaker to propose to my family, and we will get married by the end of next year."
"Why by the end of next year? Can't it be earlier? May Day would be fine too."
Liu Xingzhi couldn't wait for her son to get married soon. She was still able to move and could help them take care of the children.
"Yang Jian said they just started subcontracting, and the first project wasn't profitable. They will have money after the second project because my uncle requires him to buy a wedding house in Chengguan."
"Well, that's good. Your family's conditions are good, so you can't be wronged during the wedding. We plan to build a house in Chengguan. His sister has kept the foundation for him, so building a house is not difficult."
"Mom, your conditions are not bad either. Yang Jian is good at making money. Look, he bought a car in half a year. I won't be wronged by following him."
Liu Xingzhi said with pride, "That's true. This child has always been opinionated and ambitious since he was young, but he's too stubborn. If he bullies you, tell me, and I'll have his father whip him."
Chen Xiaoli burst into laughter, "Mom, Yang Jian often tells me that he's still getting beaten up, and I don't believe him. Is it true?"
"Of course. Whenever he did something wrong, his father would beat him. He's been beaten countless times since he was a child, but he has thick skin. After being beaten, he forgets about it and continues to do as he pleases."
"Haha, then he won't dare to bully me in the future, or I'll let him get whipped."
The mother and daughter-in-law were laughing and chatting in the vegetable patch, making the nearby villagers envious.
However, Guihua, the cousin's wife next door, was a little jealous. Her two sons were about the same age as Yang Jian, and their family's conditions were not bad. They were preparing to build a new house after the New Year, but no matchmaker was proposing to them. Yang Jian suddenly bringing back a wife made her even more anxious.
