An Xiaohui was especially happy today. It was the happiest and most exciting day since she was born.
It was not because her recruitment work had been completed, but because her parents had finally stopped blindly listening to and trusting her second uncle's family. They decisively refused their family's request to be responsible for An Yang's dowry money, house money, and car money. Second Uncle An's family was so angry that their faces turned livid.
To them, An Yang's parents and An Xiaohui's money were actually An Yang's money. It was just that they had used it in advance.
In their village, the son would obtain all of the deceased's property.
Ten years ago, they had already agreed that after An Yang's parents passed away, An Yang would obtain all of their money. Therefore, An Xiaohui's parents' and An Xiaohui's property would be owned by An Yang.
So, shouldn't they be the ones paying for An Yang's marriage? This was just An Yang using his money in advance.
However, their family never expected that their request would be rejected.
Second Aunt and Uncle An were rejected because they didn't agree to have An Yang's first son be adopted by Father and Mother An.
Of course, they wouldn't want that. This would be their eldest grandson. In fact, they wouldn't let Father and Mother An adopt any of their grandchildren. Having An Yang be there for them was already a show of mercy. Of course, they were just saying that. They didn't really want An Yang to take care of An Xiaohui's parents when they were old.
Father and Mother An suggested that they would adopt An Yang's second son. Second Aunt and Uncle An still disagreed. Mother and Father An got mad. They refused to pay for the marriage.
After hearing father and mother An's angry words, second uncle An and his wife and An Yang had to rethink everything. They were not going to give up this opportunity to scam An Xiaohui and her parents.
After a discussion, they decided to get the money first and talk about the future later. After all, An Yang wasn't married yet, right? The matter of this grandson would still take at least a few years. When the grandson was born, they would deny everything.
By then, the money would already be in their hands. Father and mother An couldn't do anything about it.
After all, the money demanded by the girl for a betrothal gift was more than 500,000 RMB.
All these years, because An Yang and his family had always been supported by Father and Mother An, they did not work that much. They had some savings, but they didn't have 500,000 RMB.
It was just that this time, Father and Mother An were smart.
When they heard that Second Uncle An had agreed to have them adopt An Yang's second son, they immediately hired a lawyer and drew up an agreement. They even invited a lawyer to be their witness.
The lawyer said, "This agreement has a legal effect..."
When second uncle and Aunt An heard the lawyer's words, their faces turned ashen.
Their elder brother and sister-in-law had agreed to pay this sum of money, but the premise was that their second grandson had to be adopted by them. If they violated this in the future, they could be sued in court.
An Yang didn't mind, but Second Uncle and Aunt An didn't agree. They thought that An Yang's parents' money was already An Yang's money, so they didn't agree to sell their grandchild at all.
But now that the other party had hired a lawyer, and it had legal effect, they instantly hesitated.
When Father and Mother An saw this, their eyes were filled with disappointment.
They had actually done this as a test for their second brother's family.
They now understood that his second brother's family was only playing with them because they fancied their family's wealth. They were not really sincere in treating Father and Mother An.
Father and Mother An didn't flare up at the lawyer's office. They only asked his second brother's family to think about it carefully.
After everyone left, Father and Mother An's expressions instantly darkened.
Father An cursed angrily, "Bastard!"
Mother An's expression wasn't too good either. She remained silent as if she was deep in thought.
A moment later, Mother An said, "Hubby, I feel that rather than relying on others, it's better to rely on our own. Hui 'Er told us that in the future, the first boy that she and her husband give birth to would have the surname An. He's our biological grandson. In the future, we can also rely on him to continue our family line.
"Most importantly, Hui 'Er's son will have our blood. He will be our own biological grandson. In this way, we wouldn't need our second brother's grandson to continue the family line. Moreover, Hui 'Er also said that she would have a glamorous wedding. After she got married, she would buy a house near our house. It will be convenient to take care of us and provide for our retirement! This way, we would have someone to take care of us in our old age."
They had no son, so they had placed all their hope on An Yang. However, reality slapped them hard. They realized that their second brother's family and An Yang were openly using them. They were constantly demanding money.
In the past, they had placed all their hopes on An Yang, so they were very willing to spend money on An Yang.
But now, they suddenly had an alternative.
Father An was silent. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he said, "Xiaohui's idea is good. But what if they can't give birth to a son in the future?"
Mother An immediately said, "Hubby, Xiaohui is still young. Why can't they give birth to a son? Besides, the technology is so developed now. Even if they can't give birth, they can still be IVF babies. I heard you can choose the gender for IVF babies."
Father An's eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "Honey, is what you said true?"
"Yes, of course, it's true!" Mother An said, "I especially looked it up on the Internet."
With that, she took out her phone and showed Father An the information she had found.
Father An slapped his thigh and said happily, "Then why are we still hesitating? If we have to choose between An Yang's son and our Xiaohui's son, of course, we have to choose our own daughter. Our daughter's grandson is our biological grandson."
Mother An smiled and said, "I think so too."
An Yang was still an outsider to their family, but Xiaohui was their biological daughter.
Any smart person would know what to do.
Then, they decisively called their daughter An Xiaohui.
