Li Min blinked. "Why is sister-in-law asking this? Shouldn't this be a question for my sister-in-law?"
"Heh heh," Ouyang Meihua chuckled, her gaze fixed on her sister-in-law.
"This entire building belongs to your sister-in-law."
Li Min's eyes fluttered, her body listing to one side as she leaned back.
"Minmin!"
Suozhu rushed to catch his wife, but Ouyang Meihua and her two nieces stood between him and Li Min.
Li Zhengguo walked into the living room just as his sister was toppling over. He quickly caught her. "What's wrong? Afraid of heights?"
Li Min, lying in her brother's arms, blinked again. "Yes, afraid of heights. I'm afraid of my sister-in-law's height."
Li Zhengguo pushed his sister into the arms of her brother-in-law, who had walked up to him.
"You're not afraid of your sister-in-law's true form, so why are you afraid of her money? It's just a dead thing."
"That's right," Li Min stood up in her husband's embrace. "Brother, what exactly is sister-in-law's true form?"
Seeing Li Min recover so quickly, Ouyang Meihua, unwilling to be outdone, continued, "This building is just a small part of your sister-in-law's assets. She also..."
"Sister-in-law," Li Zhengguo interrupted, "Minmin's resilience is unique. Don't try to find balance by targeting her."
"Alright," Ouyang Meihua waved her hand. "We're staying for a few more days anyway, I'll tell her slowly."
She then turned to her two stunned stepdaughters. "Didn't you two work for your aunt? Why are you still stunned?"
Damaixi and Xiaomai snapped back to attention. "We were scared by Auntie. As for our aunt, no matter how many secrets she has, there's no need to be surprised. She's not a normal person."
"What are you talking about?" Li Liguo gently chided his daughters before asking Li Zhengguo if he had come to call them for a meal.
Li Zhengguo nodded. "Let's go to the next door for dinner."
As the group walked out, they encountered Ouyang Lei emerging from the elevator.
"Eh? Why are you all here?"
Li Zhengguo waved him over. "Come in and eat with us, we can talk as we eat."
"I've already eaten," Ouyang Lei said, but he still followed behind them. "If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have gone out to eat with others."
On the dining table, over a dozen dishes were already laid out. Ouyang Lei unceremoniously sat beside his eldest brother-in-law.
"I can still eat another meal."
His eldest sister pushed him past his brother-in-law. "Look at your belly, it's almost ready to give birth. No more eating. Eating at night will just make you gain weight, fat."
Ouyang Lei picked up his chopsticks. "I'll eat vegetables."
"No, vegetables also make you gain weight."
"Sister, can you stop talking nonsense? Eating vegetables makes you gain weight too? Then you might as well tell me to just drink water."
"No, drinking water also makes you gain weight."
Ouyang Lei glared at his sister from across his brother-in-law. "So, you mean I'm alive and well, and that's the problem?"
Ouyang Meihua shot her younger brother a sidelong glance. "Even if you are alive and well, don't you need to go out and absorb sunlight? If you moved more, would you have gotten this fat?"
"When you retire, you can come back with me and we'll farm."
"We'll see," Ouyang Lei replied perfunctorily, picked up his chopsticks, and began eating, no longer speaking to his eldest sister.
He hadn't eaten at their place since his eldest sister's family left.
His in-laws' mother had specifically come to take care of Lili and the others, so he felt embarrassed to come. He suddenly remembered: "Where is Lili?"
"Lili..." Tian Jing was about to explain when she heard a door open.
Han Lushi quickly put down his chopsticks. Just as he turned, Li Weili was already walking quickly towards them.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, eldest Uncle, eldest Aunt, second Uncle, second Aunt, sorry, I fell asleep."
Han Lushi placed a hand on Lili's shoulder, signaling her to slow down, then helped her to his seat.
Li Weiyu, sitting next to him, smartly moved her distinguished posterior and sat on the sofa in the living room.
The women present, all of whom had given birth, immediately understood what Han Lushi's gesture implied.
Li Min's eyes nearly popped out in surprise.
Damaixi and Xiaomai also glared at Han Lushi with unfriendly eyes.
Only Ouyang Meihua smiled and congratulated Lili. "Congratulations, Lili and Lushi. I didn't expect you two to take the lead."
"Thank you, Auntie," Li Weili said shyly. She still felt like a young girl, and suddenly she was going to be a mother. She felt both happy and flustered.
She turned to look at her parents and saw only smiles of joy on their faces. The knot in her heart finally loosened.
Li Min also saw the smiles on her younger brother and sister-in-law's faces, which surprised her even more.
Li Mu put a small cream bun into her mouth to stop her wide-open jaw. "Eat your meal properly."
Li Min chewed the bun quickly. "Mom, *wuwu*."
Her mother stuffed another small bun into her already open mouth.
Then her mother unjustly accused her, "You're already a grandmother, and you still need your mother to feed you? Can't you eat by yourself?"
Li Min: "..." Discretion is the better part of valor. It's fine if she doesn't speak.
The second bun was practically shoved down her throat. If she spoke again...
Seeing their grandmother's demeanor, Damaixi and Xiaomai decided it was best to focus on their meals.
Han Lushi clearly saw everyone's expressions. He took Li Weili's hand and announced to everyone,
"Lili and I got our marriage certificate in the first lunar month. Lili..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Li Min, who was diligently eating, let out a violent cough, interrupting Han Lushi's words.
Chen Suozhu quickly patted her back.
Li Zhengguo shot his sister a displeased look, then announced to the family,
"Lili and Lushi registered their marriage with the consent of my wife and me."
"We had planned to discuss their wedding after Xiao Bo's wedding, but it seems we're running out of time."
"Lili is at the crucial juncture of graduation and taking over the company. Lushi and Haohao, Yanyan are teammates, and their leave times are uncertain."
"I can take a long leave," Han Lushi quickly offered. "I plan to take a long leave to be with Lili until a month after the birth."
"Mom, Dad, after second brother's wedding, please arrange my and Lili's wedding as soon as possible. We'll have it in Kushan."
"Okay," Li Zhengguo said with a satisfied smile. "Let's do it back home. With more people, things will get done faster."
Tian Jing then asked her daughter, "When is your graduation defense?"
"May 26th."
"Come home right after your defense, and we'll have the wedding before the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Tiantian," Li Mu hesitated, "In the same year..."
Tian Jing waved her hand at her mother-in-law. "Our family's situation is different. It's not quite like a simple marriage and a bride coming in, nor is it like two marriages."
"Let's not worry about these things. In any case, we're adding new members to the family."
"If we wait until Lili gives birth, it won't make sense, and the gossip will be even worse than holding a wedding with a pregnant bride."
In the same year, no remarriage for a bride, no remarriage for a groom, one marriage and one bride in the same year. It's best to have the bride first, then the groom, symbolizing that the family is gaining people, not losing them.
Tian Jing understood her mother-in-law's meaning, but her children's situation was neither a typical marriage nor a typical bride's entry, so it was best not to be too particular.
If she and Li Min had been exchanged back then, wouldn't it have been the same as a marriage and a bride?
Li Mu thought about it and agreed. One son and one daughter were both coming into the family, so they shouldn't be too particular. "Then Lili's date will be set for June."
"Alright," Tian Jing nodded. "Children's Day isn't suitable. The 4th is the Dragon Boat Festival. We only have the 2nd and 3rd. The 3rd is the fourth day of the lunar month. Let's choose the 2nd."
Li Weili: "..."
Ever since he heard his father-in-law and mother-in-law agree to arrange their wedding soon, Han Lushi couldn't help but curl his lips.
Now that he heard his mother-in-law had set the date for his and Lili's wedding, he could no longer suppress his smile.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, Grandma. I will treat Lili well, and I will also treat you with filial piety."
Li Weili pulled her hand away and covered his mouth. "You're smiling so silly."
Han Lushi let her cover his mouth and turned his face to her.
"I'm happy. I'm officially going to be part of the Li family."
Li Weili abruptly withdrew her hand. Her palm felt so ticklish from Han Lushi's lips.
