Looking at the handsome young couple in the promotional video, President Jin couldn't help but stroke his chin, wondering if he should keep Yan Susu locked up in the sanatorium for a while longer.
He genuinely wanted to marry the "mother of the eldest grandson" to his son.
Yan Susu clearly wants her son to marry a wealthy heiress of equal social standing, and if she returns, she will definitely do everything she can to stop it.
The mountain sparrow never wanted to marry into a wealthy family in the first place. When she saw that her future mother-in-law was so difficult, she thought, "Why would I even want to marry her?"
No, Yan Susu absolutely cannot be brought back so soon...
At the very least, Yan Susu can only return after her son marries his daughter-in-law and his beloved grandson is registered in the household registration system.
Of course, if Yan Susu cannot care for her daughter-in-law and love her eldest grandson, then Jin Yonghua would not mind buying another villa for Yan Susu to move out.
In any case, the Jin family's precious eldest grandson absolutely cannot live outside!
The moment President Jin thought of Shan Rui's little face, which looked just like his mother's, the scales in his heart tipped completely towards his precious grandson!
He even wondered if his mother, in heaven, saw how lonely he was and sent him a child who looked almost exactly like her to comfort him in his old age...
Honestly, I don't know why, but as people get older, I always feel like I can't rely on anyone around me, and I often miss the feeling of snuggling in my mother's arms when I was a child.
At his age, he no longer had any interest in women. On the contrary, his grandson Shan Rui had become the apple of his eye!
Holding his eldest grandson and smelling the baby's milky scent, Mr. Jin really wished he could pass the entire Jin Yan company on to his grandson!
Yan Susu probably never imagined that she had sacrificed her own child to achieve her current wealth and status. Now, however, because of another child, she is being forcibly confined to a sanatorium by her husband…
This is truly a case of karma coming full circle; no one escapes the judgment of Heaven!
Chapter 284
"A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" is a hit!
It's incredibly popular!
As a result, Jin Yan's stock price soared dramatically. Boss Jin was so delighted that he told everyone he met that his eldest grandson was a golden baby bestowed upon the Jin family by God!
A true golden baby!
Because of the local custom in the old mountain valley, which favors daughters over sons, and hearing that the old man longed for a grandson with the surname Jin, Shanque discussed it with her mother and decided to respect the old man's wishes and register Rui Rui in the Jin family's household registration.
The Jin family also has a family genealogy. According to the order, the generation after "Cheng" is "Wen". Jin Yonghua specially consulted a master to calculate it. The master said that the character "Rui" was very good. Jin Yonghua was overjoyed and simply added the character "Wen" before "Rui".
So now the chubby boy's formal name is Jin Wenrui, but his nickname remains the same, Rui Rui.
It's such a coincidence that it's chilling.
When Jin Yonghua was hosting a banquet for his eldest grandson, he overheard an elder in the family saying that his mother's childhood nickname was "Rui Rui" when she was still at her parents' home...
Upon hearing her mother's childhood nickname, Jin Yonghua trembled all over, holding Rui Rui's tiny body, tears streaming down her face.
The sight of the mother and son, Sparrow and Cloud, was heartbreaking.
Shan Yun couldn't help but feel relieved. Luckily, they had changed Rui Rui's name to Jin, otherwise her in-laws would have been so upset...
The Jin family threw a grand banquet to celebrate their eldest grandson's return home. The banquet featured countless delicacies, including a king crab dish that none of the villagers in Langshan had ever seen before.
"Sparrow, you are a great contributor to our Jin family! Come, try this caviar, it was specially air-freighted from Russia."
Jin Yonghua tried to please his daughter-in-law in a very humble manner.
I have no choice but to try to please them!
Who can blame Rui Rui for being closest to his mother?
Thinking about this, President Jin felt both heartbroken and proud.
What's heartbreaking is that he spent too little time with his eldest grandson.
He is proud that his eldest grandson is just as filial to his mother as he is.
I've eaten plenty of crucian carp roe, but this is the first time I've ever tried Russian caviar. I didn't expect that as soon as I scooped up a small spoonful and put it in my mouth, I vomited it out!
The eldest grandson's mother vomited after eating at a banquet?!
Mr. Jin was furious and immediately summoned the hotel manager, suspecting that their ingredients were not fresh.
When the manager heard that the Jin family's banquet this year had made Mr. Jin's daughter-in-law vomit, he was shocked and rushed over. Halfway there, he remembered that someone at the scene was vomiting, so he asked someone to call an ambulance.
Regular guests would never receive this treatment.
But who can blame us when the person hosting the banquet today is Boss Jin?
This is the most sought-after boss in the area!
The ambulance arrived quickly, and amidst the chaos, the titmouse was taken to the hospital.
Upon inspection, the ingredients were found to be fine; the eldest grandson's mother is pregnant again! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ
The crowd's anger turned to joy, and they all rushed to congratulate President Jin.
Jin Chengjie stared speechlessly at these sycophants.
My wife is pregnant, and instead of congratulating me, the soon-to-be father, why are you congratulating my dad? Is it just because my dad is richer than me?
Hmph! One day, my wife will be richer than my dad!
The hotel manager's legs went weak, and he too burst into tears of joy.
"Good! Que'er is truly a hero of our Jin family! A-Jie, come here. Since your in-laws are here too, I want to ask you today: Que'er has already given you one child, and she's pregnant with another. When are you going to get your marriage certificate with her?"
Poor thing, his wife is being held captive in a sanatorium by him. Mr. Jin is completely clueless right now and has no choice but to bite the bullet and personally urge her to get married.
If we don't take this opportunity to solidify Shan Que's position as our daughter-in-law, what if in a couple of years, his son gets old and loses his looks, and Shan Que finds someone younger and more handsome?
He had heard about the customs of Langshan; the women there were all fierce and capable of supporting their families.
The key point is that they might not even care about the Jin family's huge fortune. They prefer to stay home and enjoy their lives, roasting potatoes and singing folk songs. They have no desire to be mistreated in a wealthy and powerful family like theirs.
If it were when he was younger, Jin Yonghua would think that this kind of person must be a fool, giving up the life of luxury and wealth to stay in the mountains and eat chaff and wild vegetables.
Having wasted half his life, and now at an age where he's halfway to the grave, Jin Yonghua looks back and realizes that the happiest time of his life was actually the few years he spent living in the countryside with his mother.
Like candy hidden in memories, the more bitter life becomes, the more you can't help but want to dig out this old candy, secretly lick it, and then hide it back in your memory.
To be honest, Mr. Jin isn't too bothered by losing 100 million.
But what if he gets Alzheimer's one day and forgets his childhood? He might not be able to take his last breath while lying in bed, okay?
Seeing how lively and adorable his eldest grandson had become under the guidance of the sparrow, Jin Yonghua felt even more grateful to the sparrow and couldn't wait to urge his son to register their marriage with the sparrow!
Before, there was no opportunity, but now it's all good. The titmouse's belly is really working hard; she's pregnant again!
What are we waiting for? Let's hurry up!
Since both families are here, let's get our marriage certificates and hold a wedding banquet. That way, it'll be easier to register the child's birth later, right?
Wait a minute! Speaking of children… Mr. Jin glanced guiltily at Sister Shanyun, who had no expression on her face, and suddenly thought of the customs in Langshan.
Is the reason why the in-laws won't let their daughter register her marriage with their son because they're afraid the in-laws will take the child away from them?
He swears to God! He really didn't mean that! Of course, if Shan Que is willing to marry into their family and bear children for the Jin family, he certainly won't mistreat her.
But if Shan Que is unwilling, and given the Shan family's current situation, they really need a daughter to carry on the family line. President Jin isn't the kind of person who doesn't care about human feelings. If they are willing to change their eldest grandson back to his father's surname, he can't just not leave them any children, can he?
“In-laws, what do you think of this? I want the two children to get married, mainly to give Shan Que and the children a guarantee. You probably know our family’s situation. If Shan Que and A Jie get married, no matter whether they can grow old together, she and the children will always have a share of the Jin family’s assets.”
"As for the children, please rest assured, in-laws. I heard that you all prefer daughters and don't care much for sons. How about this, in the future, the children of Shanque and Ajie, if they are boys, they can take the surname Jin and be considered part of the Jin family, and the girls will all belong to your family, what do you think?"
Mr. Jin's "sitting down and dividing the spoils" attitude really opened the eyes of Jiang Xiaoman and other onlookers.
That's why people say it's no wonder Mr. Jin is making a fortune.
With his decisive manner and ability to focus on the big picture while letting go of the small details, it would be a shame if he didn't succeed!
Sure enough, when Shan Yun heard President Jin say that after the marriage, all the daughters born to Shan Que would belong to the Shan family, Shan Yun's expression improved considerably, and a smile appeared on his lips. He then offered a few insincere pleasantries.
"Oh dear, what kind of talk is that, in-law? Nowadays, boys and girls are the same, and I love my grandson just as much!"
Jin Yonghua silently rolled his eyes in his mind.
Do you feel the same way about your grandson?
Why don't you take all your gold and silver jewelry and make a longevity lock for your grandson or something?
Poor grandson! His first piece of gold jewelry was a gift from Jiang Xiaoman, an outsider!
The two families settled the matter just like that. Since the invited relatives and friends hadn't gone back yet, Mr. Jin generously booked a resort hotel. Apart from a few relatives who had taken leave to attend the banquet and had to go back to work, the rest of the relatives stayed.
In recent years, fewer people have gotten married than divorced, so the marriage registration office wasn't crowded at all. Shan Que and Jin Chengjie went to register the next morning, and that evening, the resort hotel had already prepared the wedding banquet venue.
This was probably the most efficient wedding Jiang Xiaoman had ever attended.
Although time was short, Mr. Jin still gave Shan Que, his daughter-in-law, the respect she deserved.
The bride price was 6.88 million yuan in cash.
Ten pairs of heavy dragon and phoenix bracelets, and two large boxes filled with other gold and silver jewelry of various colors!
In addition, there is a villa in the resort area, a seven-seater family van suitable for traveling with children, and a luxury sea-view villa as a separate reward for the "mother of the eldest grandson".
Even the shares of the new company jointly established by the Jin family and Jiang Xiaoman, Mr. Jin also set aside 5%, and the proceeds from this shareholding will be deposited separately into Shan Que's account as pocket money for the children.
When Jin Yonghua took out this portion of the equity proceeds, he was quite pleased with himself, thinking, "Don't be fooled by my in-law Shan Yun's words about 'treating boys and girls the same way.' He's different. If Shan Que has a granddaughter in the future, even though she'll be raised in the Shan family, I, as her grandfather, will love her just as much, won't I?"
On this joyous occasion, both families were overjoyed, but there were always some relatives who couldn't stand to see their daughter doing well. Especially one relative who had once tried to marry her niece to Jin Chengjie; upon hearing that this guy had rejected their well-educated and refined daughter and instead married a country girl who hadn't even finished high school, she was absolutely furious!
When Jin Chengjie brought the titmouse over to offer a toast, he heard this relative ask him, feigning concern—
"Your mother only gave birth to you in her whole life, Jie. On your wedding day, which is such a joyous occasion, shouldn't your mother at least come out to meet her daughter-in-law?"
Jin Chengjie: "..."
"Oh right, Ah Jie, why didn't your mother-in-law come to our wedding?" Sparrow suddenly remembered that she did have a mother-in-law!
An eerie silence fell over the scene.
The relatives who knew where Madam Jin had gone were all silently waiting to see what would happen. Jiang Xiaoman also kept quiet, pulling Shan Yan aside to wait and see how President Jin would answer the question.
If this were a girl from an ordinary family, on such a joyous occasion as her wedding, the thought of her mother-in-law refusing to attend would be incredibly disheartening. Is this a way of giving the new bride a hard time even before she's officially married?
But given the Sparrow Girl's peculiar thought process... Jiang Xiaoman reasonably suspected that the girl hadn't understood the underlying meaning of her relative's words at all.
She was probably just genuinely curious why Jin Chengjie's mother didn't come to her and Jin Chengjie's wedding banquet... Of course she'd be happy if she did, but it's not a big deal if she didn't have time to come.
