Chapter 445: Seventies: The Mature Husband 45

After dinner, Tang Wan said to Tang Mother, “Mom, Tongtong isn't young anymore either. I want to get married this year.”

Hearing this, Tang Mother nodded. “All right. You two can register your marriage first. Once you've picked an auspicious date, we'll hold the wedding banquet.”

Her future son-in-law was a good man with financial means, and he seemed to dote on Wanwan. They felt at ease entrusting Wanwan to him.

“Mm!” Tang Wan nodded.

……

When Xue Xingtong learned that Tang Father and Tang Mother had agreed to the marriage, his expression was still somewhat dazed.

He had thought they wouldn't be willing to marry Wanwan off to him so easily.

He hadn't expected it to be settled just like that.

Seeing him looking completely stunned, Tang Wan couldn't help laughing loudly.

“Tongtong, I told you there wouldn't be a problem. You're so wonderful. How could Mom and Dad not like you?”

Hearing this, Xue Xingtong tightened his grip on her hand.

“No. It's because of you that I've become a better person.”

Without her, he would still be struggling just to make ends meet, constantly worrying about where his next meal would come from.

Every change in his life had happened because of her.

How fortunate was he to have met her in this life?

……

After that, Xue Xingtong began preparing the betrothal gifts.

The standard “three turns and one sound” went without saying, and he had also bought a house in the city and furnished it.

Tang Father and Tang Mother were extremely satisfied when they saw it.

They didn't really care whether there was a lot or a little money, but being able to afford a house proved that their son-in-law was capable.

After the betrothal gifts were delivered, Tang Wan took her household registration booklet and went with Xue Xingtong to register their marriage.

When their marriage certificate was issued, the last bit of Xue Xingtong's unease finally disappeared.

Tang Wan couldn't help looking at him.

So it turned out that getting married was what gave him a sense of security?

……

When the people of Hekou Village learned that Xue Xingtong had actually married Tang Wan, the entire village was stunned.

Xue Xingtong, an old bachelor, had actually managed to marry the most beautiful educated youth, Tang Wan?

How had he done it?

When Chen Cheng heard about this, her expression twisted for a moment.

“How could this happen? Wasn't Tang Wan supposed to marry Huo Shaoting?”

How could she have married Xue Xingtong in this life?

……

On the day of their wedding banquet, Tang Father and Tang Mother also came to the place where Tang Wan had been sent down for the first time.

When Tang Mother saw the impoverished conditions in the countryside, her eyes immediately reddened.

Seeing this, Tang Wan hurriedly said, “Mom, don't be sad. Don't judge it by how things look outside. The place where I live is actually very nice. Tongtong decorated my room beautifully! You'll see when you look at it.”

Hearing this, Tang Mother finally nodded.

When they reached Tang Wan's room, she saw that the walls had been covered with clean newspapers, roses had been placed on the table, and the room was equipped with all kinds of household necessities.

Only then did Tang Mother relax.

It was clear that Xue Xingtong had put a lot of thought into it.

……

Although the villagers had never had much interaction with Xue Xingtong and his family, they simply couldn't resist the temptation of the Eight-Bowl Banquet.

So when Xue Xingtong announced that everyone was welcome to attend the wedding, the villagers came to the Xue family banquet one after another, bringing their whole families and a gift of either one yuan or fifty cents.

Seeing the scale of the wedding, Chen Cheng became increasingly jealous.

She knew it! Xue Xingtong was definitely going to make a fortune. Otherwise, where would he have gotten the money to use half a pig to prepare the Eight-Bowl Banquet for the wedding?

This Tang Wan had stolen her husband, Huo Shaoting, in her previous life, and in this life, she had stolen the business tycoon Xue Xingtong whom Chen Cheng had set her sights on.

She really was her nemesis!

Midway through the wedding banquet, Chen Cheng noticed Tang Mother going to the restroom. Her eyes flickered, and she stood up.

When Tang Mother came out, Chen Cheng immediately approached her.

“Auntie, you're Tang Wan's mother, right?”

“Yes. And you are?” Tang Mother looked at Chen Cheng suspiciously.

“Oh, I'm a local from Hekou Village. Auntie, how could you let your daughter marry Xue Xingtong? You don't know, do you? He's a notorious old hooligan around here. He does nothing but steal chickens, pilfer dogs, and harass young girls…”
