Chapter 444: Han Chunyan Announces Her Relationship with Zhang Lei to the Whole Family
Han Chunming's second brother, Han Chunsheng, said happily, "Great! Little Wu is working now. Except for Chunyan, everyone in our family has a job."
The eldest sister, Han Chunxue, nodded in agreement and looked at Han Chunming, saying, "Chunming, why don't you thank your second sister?"
Han's mother looked at her daughter Han Chunyan with concern and said, "Chunyan, tell me the truth, did you agree to this because he found a job for Xiao Wuzi?"
Han Chunyan shook her head and said, "Mom, no, Zhang Lei is really good to me."
Looking at her daughter, Han's mother understood that although her daughter appeared gentle, she couldn't change the things her daughter was determined about. She said, "Well, that's good. But daughter, you need to know that gratitude and affection are not the same thing. Marriage is a big deal, and you need to think it through."
Han Chunsong, who was standing to the side, also chimed in, "Yes, marriage is a big deal. You should at least let us see what Zhang Lei looks like and get to know him."
Everyone started offering suggestions to Han Chunyan.
Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "He originally wanted to come today, but I didn't let him. I wanted to discuss this with you and see what your opinions are."
Hearing Han Chunyan say this, Han's mother was immediately relieved and said, "Chunyan, since you say so, let's set a time for him to come to our house."
At this moment, Han Chunming suddenly realized and said, "Sister? Weren't those two women who came last time his wives? If you marry him, then isn't that..."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Han Chunyan in surprise.
Han Chunyan looked at everyone and said, "I've made up my mind about him. I believe he will treat me well. Although there are many people in his family, he treats each of his wives very well. When I went to his house, Sister Xueru and the others treated me very well too."
Everyone looked at each other after hearing Han Chunyan's words. Although they didn't understand why they weren't disgusted by Zhang Lei marrying so many wives, they still felt a strange mix of emotions when they thought about their own sister marrying Zhang Lei.
Han Chunming suddenly looked at Han Chunyan and said, "Sister, is it because of my job? If it is, I won't take this job, and I don't care about it."
Han Chunyan looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, what nonsense are you talking about? My affairs have nothing to do with your work."
Han's mother looked at Han Chunming and said, "Alright, Xiao Wuzi, I just talked to your sister, and it really has nothing to do with you." After thinking for a moment, she continued, "However, we still need to get to know Zhang Lei better. We can't just marry Chunyan off to a stranger for no reason."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Han Chunsong said, "Then let's listen to Mom."
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Han Chunyan looked at them and said, "Now that you all know about this, these are gifts that Zhang Lei bought for you. Each of you will have a set of clothes, and he also bought a set of jewelry for Mom."
As everyone looked at the clothes that were brought out one by one, Han Chunsheng immediately tried them on. Touching the new clothes, he exclaimed happily, "These clothes, this fabric, they must have cost a lot of money!"
The others also chimed in with their own opinions.
Han Chunming then approached Han Chunyan and asked, "Sister, tell me, how much did all this cost?"
Hearing this, she rolled her eyes at Han Chunming and said irritably, "Don't ask. I don't know either. Anyway, it cost a lot."
At this moment, Han's mother also looked at the fabric she was wearing, touched it with her rough hands, and said, "This fabric is so smooth!"
At this moment, Han Chunyan opened the jewelry box next to her, which contained a pair of gold earrings.
Han Chunyan looked at her mother and said, "Mom, let me try it on for you and see if it fits."
Looking at the gold earrings, Han's mother quickly said, "Oh dear, how can I wear something so expensive?"
Han Chunyan said with some guilt, "Mom, Zhang Lei originally wanted to buy you a gold bracelet, but I was afraid it would be too flashy, so I changed it to gold earrings."
Hearing Han Chunyan say this, Han's mother smiled and said, "You did the right thing. We can't accept such valuable things from others; this is already quite excessive."
Everyone was astonished when they heard Han Chunyan mention the gold bracelet.
The eldest sister, Han Chunxue, and the sister-in-law standing to the side couldn't help but feel sorry for Han Chunyan.
Han Chunxue looked at Han Chunyan and said, "Chunyan, what can I say about you? That's a gold bracelet! How much is that worth?"
Han's mother looked at her eldest daughter and said, "Alright, your sister did the right thing. Your sister and Zhang Lei have only known each other for a short time. We can't accept such an expensive gift from him. If Chunyan did this, what would people think of her?"
The eldest brother, Han Chunsong, nodded and said, "Yes, Chunyan did the right thing. We shouldn't accept such an expensive gift. We Han family members should have backbone."
The eldest sister, Han Chunxue, and her sister-in-law, standing beside her, just pursed their lips and remained silent, their hearts filled with regret.
After everyone accepted the new clothes, Han's mother said, "Alright, now that you've accepted the gifts, go home. You can all come over together in a couple of days when Zhang Lei arrives."
Everyone nodded in agreement and left the room.
Han Chunming wanted to say something, but his mother glared at him and said, "Go back to your room."
That night, Han's mother pulled Han Chunyan to sleep together, and the two of them chatted in bed.
Han's mother looked at Chunyan and said, "Chunyan, I don't know what you're thinking, but your mother knows that a woman's happiness is a major event in her life. You must be careful when getting married. It's not too late for you to do anything now."
Han Chunyan looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I know my decision was made rather hastily, but I trust my judgment. Zhang Lei is the right person. I've been to his house and seen his wives. Each of them not only has a nanny to take care of them, but they also have very good food, drink, and other necessities every day. Moreover, they all have smiles on their faces all the time, and they're not faking it. If Zhang Lei really treated them badly, it wouldn't be like what I saw."
As Han Chunyan recounted everything she had seen at Zhang Lei's house, Han's mother took her daughter's hand and said, "Alright, since you think it's suitable, Mom agrees. Remember, no matter how far you go in the future, this will always be your home, and Mom will always be your support."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Han Chunyan immediately lay down in her mother's arms, tears welling in her eyes.
Looking at Han Chunyan, Han's mother patted her back and said with a smile, "You all grow up so fast."
Lying in her mother's arms, Han Chunyan said, "Mom, I don't want to grow up. I still want you to hold me like when I was little."
Looking at Han Chunyan, Han's mother smiled and said, "I can't carry her anymore, I'm getting old."
Han Chunyan said coquettishly, "Mom, you're not old."
