"I'm in the factory every day and barely get any sunlight," Zhao Youwei looked at his arms. It wasn't just Tang Zhengde who said that; everyone who saw him said the same.
Zhao Youwei felt helpless. Being a grown man and naturally not dark-skinned, he had now grown noticeably paler, yet he was no pretty boy.
"Second Brother, did Zheng Yue ask you to bring anything for me?" Zhao Youwei had been here for half a year, and apart from occasionally calling Tang Zheng Yue, there hadn't been much contact.
Each month, Zhao Youwei would send a large portion of his earnings back home, keeping a small portion with him for expenses.
"Yes." Tang Zhengde said and immediately handed over some items, mostly food.
Tang Zhengde said, "Zheng Yue mentioned that when Xiao Yue gets married, they would come to Jing City."
"When is Xiao Yue getting married?" Zhao Youwei asked, looking at Tang Yue in surprise. He knew about the engagement earlier but thought that the man wanted to engage first and didn't expect the marriage to happen so soon.
Zhao Youwei looked at Tang Yue and asked subconsciously, "Xiao Yue just turned twenty, right? She must be starting her second year of college soon?"
Aren't they waiting for her to graduate from college before getting married?
"On the third of next month, they'll first register their marriage," Tang Zhengde explained. "I also didn't want Xiao Yue to get married so early, but... both of them agreed to it, I..."
Tang Zhengde felt reluctant to marry off his daughter so soon.
Zhao Youwei moved his lips but ended up saying nothing, only commenting, "Xiao Yue, remember to let your uncle know when you register your marriage, although... I don't have much money, it's still a little something."
Zhao Youwei was very grateful to Tang Yue. Without her reminder and the collaboration with the furniture factory in Jing City, his family would not be living as comfortably as they are now.
"Okay," Tang Yue replied and then slipped into the kitchen under the pretext of being busy. She also felt embarrassed about the rushed marriage.
Dinner was prepared by Wei Jiajia and Zhang Hualian. Tang Yue was helping out, and the lavish dinner was ready soon.
At the dinner table, besides catching up after a long separation, most of the conversation revolved around Tang Yue's registration of marriage on her 20th birthday in early August.
Although Tang Zhengde and his wife were reluctant about Tang Yue marrying so early, she and Mo Siyu had discussed it together, and her parents couldn't refuse.
However, the two families hadn't met yet nor discussed the matter.
Zhang Hualian felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.
Zhang Hualian slept with Tang Yue that night, and the mother-daughter duo had endless conversations.
Tang Yue spoke mostly about recent events and did not mention anything about the earthquake, to avoid worrying Zhang Hualian.
Zhang Hualian had a lot to say; Wangjiang County was gradually looking more like a county town. Not to mention the new buildings, people were flocking in, and it was evident that Zhenghua Restaurant was benefiting.
The business at Zhenghua Restaurant had more than doubled. They had trained two chefs and hired five or six waiters, and of course, the earnings were much higher than before.
For this trip Tang Zhengde made to Jing City, if it were in the past, he wouldn't have been able to leave, but now with two chefs and many waiters, he didn't have to worry about the restaurant.
Talking of finances, Tang Zhengde asked Tang Zheng Yuan and Zhang Hua Feng to settle the accounts together.
Since Zhang Hualian learned that Mo Xiaolin had found her husband and that Si Yu's father was from the wealthy Meng Family, could such a well-off family accept them as relatives?
