"Was it introduced by his great-uncle? His great-uncle is also the young man's leader, so it must be reliable." The old lady felt reassured upon hearing that it was a subordinate of Uncle Fang.
After all, Uncle Fang is a leader in the male side of the family; as long as he isn't completely foolish, he wouldn't treat Feifei poorly. Grandpa Ye nodded in agreement, noting that he was a veteran and could drive, which was good.
"Yes, that's true, but the young man's family is from the countryside. Here, he doesn't have any support; if something happens, he can't rely on anyone," Uncle Ye remarked.
However, Aunt Ye had a different perspective. "What do you know? This is actually better! Being far from the in-laws means fewer troubles on a daily basis."
Once Feifei steps into the house, she will take charge and won't have to deal with her mother-in-law's nagging—how wonderful is that? Besides, what do you mean there's no support? Do you think our whole family is useless?
In my opinion, this marriage is just perfect. Think about it: the young man lives far from home; if something comes up, he'll have to rely on his wife's family for help. Isn't that a good thing? This isn't just marrying off a daughter; it's like gaining another son. The more Aunt Ye spoke, the more she felt this match was favorable.
Hao Chunying nodded in agreement from the side. When her elder sister told her about it back then, she also thought it was better that the in-laws weren't nearby.
Her own in-laws were around, but what good did that do? If anything happened, she still had to handle it herself. Moreover, what was there to fear about the daughter-in-law's in-laws being far away? Isn't she here?
When her daughter has a baby in the future, she can help take care of her during the postpartum period. With Aunt Ye's words, Grandpa Ye and others also felt positively about this marriage.
However, even if it was good, was there really a need to rush into marriage?
"Let’s not be hasty," said Grandma Ye. "We should at least let the two kids spend some time together first."
"We can't afford to wait," replied Ye Jianguo. "Xiao Tang's team is dividing housing now; getting married right away would be perfect timing."
His great-uncle mentioned that with him around to oversee things, they might even get a better room allocation.
Once housing division was brought up, everyone stopped suggesting they take their time.
"We can't wait; if there's an opportunity for housing division, we have to seize it. If we miss this chance, who knows when the next one will come?" Uncle Ye said decisively.
"That's right; housing is important. We're all getting married anyway—what's the difference if it's a few days earlier or later?" Aunt Ye chimed in enthusiastically.
Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye nodded in agreement.
Since the decision to marry early had been made, the wedding date became a topic of great interest for everyone. When would the wedding be scheduled? If there was anything they needed help with, they could just say so; both I and your sister-in-law would assist.
And then there was Ziping and the others—if they could be of any help, they shouldn't hesitate to ask. Uncle Ye still carried himself with the authority of the eldest son.
Ye Jianguo nodded in acknowledgment, "I understand, big brother."
At that moment, Grandma Ye stood up and beckoned, "Yue Fangfei, come in here with Grandma."
Yue Fangfei was taken aback, unsure of what the old lady wanted her for. She glanced at Hao Chunying, who nodded encouragingly, prompting her to rise and follow the old lady into the room.
Inside, Grandma Ye instructed Yue Fangfei to sit on the bed and wait. She rummaged through a cabinet and pulled out a small cloth pouch. Opening it revealed a pair of gold bracelets.
Grandma Ye took one out and placed it on Yue Fangfei's wrist.
