As soon as Yun Shu walked into the house, her grandmother was already waiting for her in the living room. Yun Shu swept her gaze around the room, but could not see her mother.
"Yun Shu, you are back," Yao Ying flashed a smile at her granddaughter. She put down the phone on the table and patted the seat beside her. "Come, have a seat."
Yun Shu glanced at her grandmother's phone screen and saw that her grandmother was watching some videos of cats playing around. "Grandma, where's my mother?"
There was a hint of a smile in Yun Shu's eyes. However, she quickly lowered her gaze before Yun Shu would notice anything. "Your mother went to the market to buy something. That's right. Why isn't Ah Zheng come in with you?"
'Grandma, he still needs to return to the hospital," Yun Shu made an excuse.
Yao Ying could only sigh. "Being a doctor is really hard." She looked at her granddaughter and spoke, "Yun Shu, now that you are married to him, you have to take care of him a little more, alright?"
Yun Shu smiled, wondering if this person was her grandmother or Qi Zheng's grandmother.
"That's right. How did the meeting with his family go? Did they bully you?" Yao Ying gave her granddaughter a lookover to see if she had suffered some grievance.
"No. Grandma, they are very welcoming." She reached to take the red packet from her purse. "You see... His grandfather even gave me a thick envelope."
Yao Ying peeked into the red packet and nodded. "Not bad. His grandfather is quite generous." She passed the red packet back into Yun Shu's hand. A satisfied smile curled on her lips. Yao Ying was just glad that her granddaughter was not bullied.
A thought came over to her mind. Yao Ying leaned over with a strange look on her face. "Tell me, is his grandfather single?"
Yun Shu could feel the corner of her lips start to twitch.
Suddenly, she wanted to head back to her room and avoid this conversation with her grandmother.
Yun Shu could not help to recall Qi Zheng's grandfather. The man had such a scary air around him. She did not think that Qi Zheng's grandfather was someone that her grandmother could mess around with.
That man was a Major with perhaps thousands of soldiers under his command.
If her grandmother tried to hook up with him, wouldn't she be courting death?
Moreover... the thought alone was a little too disturbing.
Fortunately for Yun Shu, her mother walked into the house just in time.
"Mom," Yun Shu greeted her.
"Yun Shu, you're back." Xu Yuan placed the grocery bag on the table before she walked over to her daughter. "How is the meeting with his family?"
"It's good" Yun Shu flashed her mother an assuring smile. "Mom, you don't have to worry. Everyone treated me kindly."
Hearing her daughter's words made her feel more at ease. "That's good."
Yun Shu then told her mother what happened during the meal with Qi Zheng's family.
"Mom, Grandma, will you be free next week? Qi Zheng's elders wanted to invite you for a meal," Yun Shu said.
"That's right. Meeting our in-laws is a must," Xu Yuan said. "It's better to meet them earlier. You can tell Ah Zheng to arrange it. Your grandmother and I will definitely go. Since you and Qi Zheng had gotten a marriage certificate, of course, we cannot delay this thing."
Yun Shu was her only child and Xu Yuan was anxious about Qi Zheng's family.
Her daughter had gotten married even before she could get to know her in-laws. Xu Yuan was mostly worried that her daughter would get bullied. She wanted to let her in-laws know that Yun Shu would always have her mother and grandmother behind her.
Yao Ying nodded. "We should also take this opportunity to discuss the wedding ceremony."
Yun Shu's expression shifted a little bit. "Do we have to have a wedding ceremony?"
Although she had this conversation with Qi Zheng earlier, Yun Shu still thought that a wedding ceremony is not necessary. Her marriage with Qi Zheng was not based on love.
Yao Ying looked at her granddaughter with a serious look on her face. "Of course. Yun Shu, you are my only granddaughter. Of course, I wanted to give you the best."
"Your grandmother is right." Xu Yuan glanced at her mother-in-law. "We don't mind if you wanted to have a smaller ceremony, but we hope to watch you all dressed up prettily in a wedding dress. This way, your late father would also be happy. Yun Shu, I know that you have gotten your certificate with Qi Zheng, but having a wedding ceremony is as important. Mom and Grandma wanted to you to have all the blessings you can get." A thought came to her mind and Xu Yuan's expression turned darker. "What is it? It couldn't be that Qi Zheng family did not want a ceremony?"
The Yun family was too small. Yun Shu only had her mother and grandmother as her relative. Xu Yuan was worried that Qi Zheng's family would be looking down on them and refused to have a wedding ceremony because of it.
"No. No." Yun Shu waved her hand. "It's me. I just thought that a wedding ceremony is not necessary since Qi Zheng and I both had our marriage certificate." Yun Shu came up with her excuses. "Moreover, I've been planning a lot of weddings and thought that it was too tiring to have a wedding."
Yao Ying laughed. "You silly girl. Since it's going to be your wedding, of course, we should let other people plan it for you. Then, you only have to show up at the wedding and not worry about everything else."
Yun Shu knew that things were not that simple. However, she decided not to argue on this matter. Otherwise, her mother would argue that she was the only descendant of the Yun family and made her feel bad for not having a ceremony.
The three of them continued to chat and Yun Shu suddenly recalled her conversation with Qi Zheng earlier.
She hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "Mom, Grandma, I still have another matter to discuss with you."
Xu Yuan exchanged a look with her mother-in-law.
Yun Shu took a deep breath and spoke, "Qi Zheng said, I should move in with him."
There was a brief silence before Xu Yuan spoke again. "That's right. The two of you are husband and wife. Why would you continue to stay home with your mother? Of course, you should move in with him."
"Un. Un." Yao Ying nodded. "You and Qi Zheng should also use this chance to get to know each other well."
"Then, how about this?" Xu Yuan spoke again. "Tomorrow, I will help you to pack up so you can move with him immediately."
Yun Shu looked at her mother in surprise. She had only mentioned about moving in with Qi Zheng, and now, it sounded like her mother was impatient to let her leave the house.
