I'm back in 1990

Chapter 681: We should visit each other more often in the future

"Actually, our family was just an ordinary family, no different from yours. It's just that my younger brother seized a few opportunities in the times, which gradually led us to where we are today."

And one thing is very clear: what belongs to my brother is what belongs to my brother. His family business has nothing to do with me now or in the future. I am who I am, and I just want to live a good life with Cheng Jing and raise Miguo and Maowa to be successful.

As for the dowry my mother gave, please don't take it as pressure. It's actually my parents' way of acknowledging Chengjing. They've also experienced hardship, and now that they have the means, they naturally want us to have a better life in the future. They don't want us to suffer the same hardships they did. That's how parents are, and that's how uncles and aunts are too. Aren't you also helping your children all along?

Furthermore, please don't worry about Cheng Jing suffering any mistreatment after marrying me. To be honest, the three of us brothers live our own lives, not like the exaggerated portrayals on TV. We're just like ordinary people, working, studying, and having fun.

Seeing that the Cheng family's expressions had softened, Huang Erhe pressed on, saying, "How about we deposit that money in Cheng Jing's name first, and then use it to buy her a house or as part of her dowry when Miguo grows up?"

To be fair, Huang Erhe's suggestion was quite reasonable. However, the amount of money was so large that the Cheng family couldn't accept it for a while. Just as the two sides were at an impasse, the Cheng family's two sons and third daughter, Cheng Jie, returned.

The three were shocked and dumbfounded when they saw the box full of money and gold bars. When they learned that Huang Erhe was actually the older brother of Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia, the three stood there dumbfounded. They thought, "Even movies and TV shows don't portray things like this."

My own widowed sister (or older sister) with a child in tow has actually been chosen by the Huang family. The key point is that the entire Huang family is very satisfied with Cheng Jing. This is simply unbelievable.

However, the Cheng siblings were all happy that Cheng Jing had found someone like Huang Erhe. It wasn't that they were happy that she was about to marry into a wealthy family, but rather that she had found someone like Huang Erhe who had a calm and ordinary heart.

So when they learned from Huang Erhe about his plan for dealing with the contents of the box, Cheng Yishan, Cheng Yiwu, Cheng Jie, and Cheng Ling all agreed with the plan. Cheng's father remained silent, while Cheng's mother looked conflicted, constantly glancing at her fourth daughter, Cheng Jing, wanting to hear her thoughts.

Cheng Li suddenly asked, "When you and your fourth sister get married, will your younger brother attend your wedding?"

Huang Erhe replied with certainty, "Yes, he told me a long time ago that he would definitely attend the wedding. However, I didn't want to make a big fuss at the time, and he said that I was disrespectful to Cheng Jing. Although he has not met Cheng Jing yet, he respects this sister-in-law very much. My brother cares a lot about family and kinship, so please rest assured about this."

Then Huang Erhe revealed some details about his family, mainly to prove that although his younger brother was the richest man in Asia, he cared deeply for his family. Through Huang Erhe's description, Huang Xiaochuan's image became more concrete in the minds of the Cheng family.

Finally, Huang Erhe gritted his teeth, took out his phone, and made a call in front of the Cheng family. On the phone, he told his younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan, about the troubles the Cheng family had caused by the bride price issue, hoping that he could step in and persuade the Cheng family.

Without saying a word, Huang Xiaochuan directly asked Huang Erhe for the address and then said, "I'm coming right now!"

The entire Cheng family heard the phone call, and they were all stunned. The richest man in Asia was going to personally come to help his brother solve a problem? Were they really brothers?

Cheng's mother, at a loss for words, said, "Erhe, why did you make your brother run around for such a small thing! Look at this, look at this!"

He then instructed his six children: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tidy up the house. When Erhe's younger brother comes, don't let him laugh at us."

Huang Xiaochuan didn't keep the Cheng family waiting for long. Forty minutes later, he appeared at the Cheng family home. He politely greeted Cheng's parents and the Cheng family's six siblings. When he saw Cheng Jing, he even praised her a few times.

"Is this my second sister-in-law? No wonder my second brother always looks so happy. It turns out my sister-in-law is so dignified and virtuous. He's really lucky to have her."

Before Huang Xiaochuan arrived, the Cheng family was very anxious, but when Huang Xiaochuan appeared in front of them and spoke to them in the same tone as a family member, without any formality, their goodwill towards the two Huang brothers deepened.

"Oh dear, don't stand there, come sit down!" Cheng's mother hurriedly invited Huang Xiaochuan to sit down.

The Huang brothers sat down with the Cheng family. Huang Xiaochuan looked at the box on the coffee table and smiled, "My parents, like my uncles and aunts, wish they could give everything they have to their children. So I understand why they do this, and please don't mind. I think my second brother's suggestion is good. Let my sister-in-law save this money first, so that it can be used in case the children need it in the future."

"Uncle and Aunt, please don't worry. Our family doesn't have that many complicated rules. From now on, my second brother and sister-in-law just need to live their own lives and visit both sets of parents more often. We're just like any other family. We relatives should also visit each other more often; my parents love being around people."

These words warmed the hearts of the Cheng family to no end, making them feel incredibly comfortable. Especially Cheng's parents, who had dined with Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan before, naturally knew how hospitable their in-laws were.

Huang Xiaochuan's personal visit finally convinced the Cheng family to accept the betrothal gifts, and they planned to have several of Cheng Jing's siblings accompany her to the bank that afternoon to deposit them.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily and that it was almost time, Huang Xiaochuan took his leave.

The Cheng family all stood up to see him off, but Huang Xiaochuan quickly advised, "Uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and cousins, we'll be relatives soon, there's really no need to be so polite, please stay, please stay!"

In the end, Huang Erhe saw him out the door, and the two brothers walked to the van.

Huang Erhe sighed, "I had to come here! All my talk was less effective than a few words from you."

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "Like father, like son; like brothers, like sworn brothers. This is a major life event for you, so of course I'll do my best, okay?"

After saying that, he waved his hand at Huang Erhe and said, "Go back and get your marriage certificate with my sister-in-law as soon as possible. That's the important thing." Then he got into his car and left.
