Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: The Inseparable Attachment of Parents
Han’s mother’s eyes suddenly became vacant, not because she had never felt that way, but because she saw her daughter could be happy, that she had found a reliable family to marry into, and this was what finally eased her mind.

Vivi was her only child, and the greatest concern of her life. Now that her daughter was getting married all of a sudden, to say her heart wasn’t a bit heavy would certainly be a lie.

But as a woman, Han’s mother naturally knew where a woman’s destination lay. No matter how much parents doted on their daughter, she couldn’t stay at home for her entire life.

Nowadays, there were no more stay-at-home sons-in-law, and moreover, they were not easy to get along with.

The parents-in-law were understanding and reasonable, and the son-in-law was extremely affectionate toward her daughter. Having children, they were indeed on the right track in life.

As long as her daughter could lead a good life, no matter how much reluctance she felt, she could only keep it in her heart.

Gradually, the tears of Han’s mother uncontrollably started to spill from her eyes.

Han’s mother felt as if her heart was suddenly missing a large piece, hollow and unable to find a place to lean on.

“Old Han, we who have raised daughters must eventually face this scene. As long as our daughter is happy, we can be at ease. Our daughter now has a home of her own, getting married and having children is a joyous occasion, let’s not be sad,” she said, lifting her arm to fiercely wipe her eyes, her voice choked with emotion.

“In a few years, I’ll be able to retire. Then, you can close down your company, and we’ll buy a small apartment next to our daughter’s, settling down here for the long term, and we’ll be able to see our daughter and grandchildren often,” she said.

“So, in these few years, we both need to earn more money to achieve this goal. Just thinking about being close to our daughter makes me feel settled,” she said, and as she spoke, she was the first to laugh, her heart filled with boundless anticipation.

With a deep sigh, Han’s father said, “How can my ‘company’ just be closed down like that? I still envy you government workers who can retire a few years earlier.”

“The employees in the company have worked with me for most of their lives, relying on the business to feed their families. If we suddenly announce a closure, what will happen to their families?”

“We can’t just think about ourselves and completely ignore them,” he said.

Getting old Han to close down the company was just a pipe dream. Nobody could persuade him.

At that moment, old Han was lost in thought.

Suddenly, old Han raised his head, his eyes shining as he said, “Wife, there’s a good solution to this. We can hand the company over to our son-in-law to manage.”

“We have only this one daughter, and our entire fortune will ultimately be left to them anyway.”

“The staff are all long-time employees. I know their temperaments well. There’s no need to be there every day, just manage occasionally,” he said.

“Anyway, our son-in-law hasn’t found a job yet, so letting him manage the company would be perfect. Once he gets on the right track, if he wants to expand on a large scale, the company isn’t far from here, and it can be done,” he continued.

“In this way, our son-in-law can balance family and career,” he concluded.

Upon hearing this, Han’s mother’s face lit up with joy as she nodded and said, “Old Han is the more thoughtful one, such an arrangement is indeed the best.”

“But how much money do you have on hand right now? I have about a million left here, and buying a small apartment there will require a substantial amount,” she said.

After a moment of reflection, old Han said candidly, “I have a few million on hand, but it’s all in fixed deposits. I was planning to use it to buy an apartment for Vivi as her dowry when she married.”

“It’s just that now that the son-in-law has become successful, the matter of the wedding house has been resolved. There’s no need to buy another house, as buying too many would be a waste of resources. Besides, compared to the son-in-law’s villa, any house we could offer as a dowry would just be a small witch seeing a great sorcerer.”

“So I plan to give a car as part of the dowry, but even that will cost several million. Add to that some gold and silver jewelry, and it will pretty much use up the money I have saved in fixed deposits.”

Upon hearing this, Han Xue’s mother was also happy and said, “Your plan isn’t bad, as long as our daughter lives a good life, everything else is a minor matter.”

“Our son-in-law is a reliable and dependable man, and the in-laws are understanding and reasonable. I believe Vivi will have a comfortable and smooth life in the future. That’s enough for us.”

The couple on the high-speed train seemed to be warming each other up.

Despite holding a thousand reluctant and helpless feelings in their hearts, thinking about their daughter’s future allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling optimistic about what’s to come.

On Lin Yi’s side.

After sending off their parents, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei headed to the temporary taxi stand and took a cab to Xiangcheng’s largest maternity and baby store—Xiangcheng Maternity & Baby.

As soon as they walked in, a sharp-eyed salesperson noticed Han Xuewei’s slightly bulging belly and then glanced at their age and the hands tightly held together.

She immediately understood that they were a newlywed couple, likely here to buy some items for their child due to the pregnancy.

The salesperson eagerly approached them and said, “Mr. and Mrs., are you here to prepare things for the child? Then you’ve come to the right place. Our Xiangcheng Maternity & Baby store has a complete range of products, everything you could need.”

“For newborn babies, besides preparing their inner and outer clothes, other items like bottles, nipples, formula, and such also need to be ready.”

“Moreover, our Baby City has launched a promotion. If you participate in it, you can get a postnatal gift package, which will take care of all the things the Mrs. needs for childbirth.”

The salesperson chatted enthusiastically, leading them and introducing them cheerily to various products.

Lin Yi, with a smile, replied, “Beauty, we’re expecting triplets, so we need a bit more stuff. Could you prepare a trolley for us to stack what we like together?”

Upon hearing this, the salesperson became visibly excited and exclaimed, “Triplets? Mrs. is really amazing, and the Mr. is a lucky man, congratulations!”

As the salesperson offered congratulations, she fetched a shopping cart for them. With her guidance, Lin Yi and his wife quickly selected a number of baby items.

All the items Han Xuewei needed for childbirth had also been bought.

They also purchased a variety of baby clothes. They planned to take them home and wash and prepare them beforehand to avoid a last-minute scramble.

“Sir, the total is 5,800 yuan. Will you be paying by card, WeChat, or cash?” the salesperson asked happily, looking at the many items.

Lin Yi took out his phone and paid by scanning a QR code.

Han Xuewei was ready to help carry some items, but Lin Yi refused.

Lin Yi asked Han Xuewei to be careful walking and took all the bags himself. The salesperson said they could use the shopping cart to take the items out and she would bring the cart back after they had loaded everything into the car.

Lin Yi and his wife expressed their thanks and, pushed by the salesperson, headed toward the exit of the store with Lin Yi supporting Han Xuewei.

Han Xuewei looked at her husband beside her and then at the pile of baby items, feeling extremely sweet inside.
