Chapter 13: Chapter 13 We Must Save on the Bride Price
A group feasted beautifully on a family dinner at the villa before they each went their separate ways.
With Aunt Wang in charge, who constantly reminded the two youngsters at home, Lin Yi’s mother felt very reassured. Aunt Wang had been with their family for many years, and her temperament and working style were all too familiar.
Thinking of the triplets in Han Xuewei’s womb, a twinge of heartache rose in Lin’s mother’s heart. Other women suffered immensely just bearing a single child.
But her daughter-in-law was having three at once, the hardship she faced was undoubtedly multiple times that of others.
Therefore, Lin Yi’s mother decided to come over and help out at the young couple’s home during her spare time, determined to take good care of their living situation.
Now that their factory’s operations had scaled down, it was no longer as busy as before, and Lin Yi’s father could basically handle it on his own.
Suddenly, Lin’s mother turned to Lin’s father, who was driving, and said, “After we get back, let’s carefully calculate the money we have on hand. In the coming days, we must save wherever we can, and make sure to set the dowry money aside.”
“The in-laws are understanding and allowed the two kids to register their marriage smoothly, even offering a car as part of the dowry. We must not be ungrateful.”
“In my opinion, we should give as much as we can for the dowry money. After all, he’s our only child, and in the end, isn’t it all for them?”
“Besides, giving the in-laws face, giving our daughter-in-law pride, can bring our families closer and foster harmony, giving us two old folks something to rely on. Why not do it?”
“Although the in-laws don’t care and say that the dowry is just for show and any amount is fine, we can’t be too excessive. If it really comes down to it, let’s use the emergency fund!”
Lin’s father gripped the steering wheel and agreed with a serious nod, saying, “It seems that this time the emergency fund will have to be spent on our son and daughter-in-law.”
“The original funds set aside for our son’s marriage were completely used up during the company crisis. Fortunately, the emergency fund is substantial enough to cover the young couple’s wedding.”
“As for money, if it’s spent, we can earn it back. As long as everyone is happy and satisfied with completing this matter, it’s a cause for great celebration.”
“To be honest, when I first received the call from our son, I was a bit slow to react. We are so young and suddenly became grandparents; I bet not many people would believe it.”
“Vivi is a good girl, not only pretty and academically successful but also has blessed us with triplets, increasing our family by three grandchildren. Compared to other families, who can boast such fortune?”
Lin’s father’s face was brimming with excitement, making him look somewhat endearing.
At first, he was completely baffled and couldn’t accept it, repeatedly muttering about being too young to become grandparents.
But just the thought of having two or three little ones toddling behind him or sitting on his lap, pulling at his beard with their delicate hands and sweetly calling him grandpa, filled him with a wonderful feeling.
Seeing Lin’s father agree to the idea of using the emergency fund eased Lin Yi’s mother’s mind, which had been up in the air.
The couple had agreed that this emergency fund should not be touched unless absolutely necessary.
Following the crisis, their finances had taken a severe hit, leaving them with a preliminary estimate of about two million. But Han Xuewei was carrying triplets.
Just the expenses for baby formula and diapers alone would be a considerable sum.
Their son and daughter-in-law, not yet having graduated from university and still in internships, couldn’t support themselves, let alone raise children. This heavy burden could only fall on the shoulders of the elderly couple.
For a moment, the old couple felt like money was flowing away like water, gushing forward.
Now, with the economy being tough, they could only just get by.
Fortunately, their son Lin Yi was competent right from the start and knew how to save money. He saved his pocket money, had a sharp mind, and was cut out for business.
He went straight into investment, and a year ago, he settled the matter of his marital home. That greatly reduced their burden. Otherwise, with just the money they had on hand, it would have been difficult to even buy an apartment in the city center, let alone a villa.
Lin Yi’s mother, while speaking, took out her phone, found WeChat, searched for Han Xuewei among new friends, quickly added her, and, after waiting for the approval, she hurriedly sent some words expressing her concern.
Immediately after, she transferred 300,000 yuan for the bride price and instructed Han Xuewei to rest, not to do any chores, to take care of herself, to exercise appropriately, and so on.
Han Xuewei received the message and immediately sent back a smiley face, followed by a big bouquet of fresh flowers, sweetly saying, “Thank you, mom, I promise to give you several healthy grandsons.”
At that time, Aunt Wang invited Lin Yi to the living room on the first floor and said seriously, “Lin Yi, tell Auntie honestly, are you and Vivi still sleeping together?”
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned, his ears turned slightly red, and he arched an eyebrow in response, “Yes, Auntie, Vivi and I are husband and wife, we sleep in the same bed, is there something wrong with that?”
Aunt Wang looked up at the second floor, didn’t hear Han Xuewei’s voice, and then lowered her voice to say, “Lin Yi, are you being foolish?”
“Vivi is only just over three months pregnant, if you two sleep together and you can’t hold back, saying something that could hurt the children, that would be terrible.”
“Even later on, when Vivi is further along, you still can’t do that sort of thing. After all, she is carrying triplets, which is different from other pregnant women.”
“Lin Yi, you’re a man, there are some things you should not indulge in, and you must take care of your wife and children.”
Aunt Wang was very close to Lin Yi, and emotionally, she could be considered half a mother to Lin Yi.
She came to the Lin Family when Lin Yi was not even five years old. Lin Yi’s parents were busy with their business every day, and Lin Yi was not raised alongside Wang Yi.
That’s why she didn’t hesitate to voice her concerns without any reservations.
“Auntie, rest assured.”
“I know all this. Do you think the Lin Yi you raised would be so irresponsible? If a man doesn’t even care for his wife and children, what kind of man would that be?”
Lin Yi came to his senses, understood what Aunt Wang meant, and quickly responded with a smile.
Aunt Wang smiled happily and said, “It makes me happy to hear you think this way. I know your character, and I trust you won’t do anything reckless.”
“Besides, both of you are university graduates with access to a wide range of information. You know well what should and shouldn’t be done, so I won’t say more.”
“I need to go down to the storeroom and organize the stuff we bought today so it’s convenient when we need it.”
“Almost forgot, can you ask Vivi for me what she’d like for supper tonight? So I can prepare.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately perked up and said, “Auntie, you’ve been busy all day, take some rest. I can handle the supper.”
