196: My uncle has a new house.

The two were afraid that if they continued to practice, the early rising fishermen would all be getting up to go out to sea, so they reluctantly parted.

They agreed to go to the The City tomorrow morning to handle the house transfer procedures. After that, they each went home to rest.

The next morning, the two arrived at the The City Housing Management Bureau together. They were early; it wasn't even working hours yet.

The two had breakfast nearby, and then saw Supervisor Wang also arrive. The transfer procedures went very smoothly and were completed in a short amount of time.

Even with Zheng Tie's repeated persuasion, Chen Lanxin still refused to have her name written on the property deed.

Finally, after some back and forth, she agreed to split the remaining cash half and half, accepting 700,000 yuan.

With the matter perfectly resolved, the two also went on a big shopping trip. Chen Lanxin had been once a few days ago with Bai Xue and the others, so she knew her way around.

By late morning, they had essentially bought everything they needed.

It was fortunate that they had driven Yang Qi's BMW today; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to bring all these things back.

Returning home to Qingshan Town, the two unloaded their purchases and went to Big Sister's house, only to find no one there.

They figured that since no one was going out to sea today, everyone must have gone out to play somewhere.

Seeing that it was still early, the two decided to buy some groceries and have lunch at Chen Lanxin's house in Chenjiaping.

They sent Big Sister a text message, explaining that the property deed had been processed and that she and Chen Lanxin were going to her house for lunch.

Then, they switched to Chen Lanxin's electric scooter and headed to the vegetable market to buy groceries.

Thinking that Zheng Tie was now her official boyfriend, Chen Lanxin boldly hugged his waist on the way home, not caring who saw!

Upon arriving at Chen Lanxin's house, Zheng Tie proactively said to Mother Chen:

"Auntie, I'll cook for you all this afternoon. Let you all have a taste."

"Oh, no, that won't do. How can we let a guest cook?" Mother Chen shook her head and refused.

"Mom, just rest for a bit. Go for a walk outside! This afternoon, the two of us will cook for you."

"I heard Fourth Brother say that A Tie cooks really well, and I haven't even had a proper meal made by him yet."

Finally, after persuading Mother Chen to leave, the two began to get busy in the kitchen.

When a man and a woman work together, the work is not tiring.

Zheng Tie was the main chef, with Chen Lanxin assisting him. The two quickly prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

During this time, the girl kept leaning over to ask for kisses, then for hugs, making Zheng Tie so happy that snot bubbles almost came out of his nose.

"Oh my, I didn't expect A Tie's cooking to be so delicious! It's far better than mine."

As the family sat around the table eating, Mother Chen did not hide her praise.

"Mmm, delicious, truly delicious!"

Father Chen also said with a smile.

The elderly couple grew fonder and fonder of this prospective son-in-law.

"Not at all, not at all. If Uncle and Auntie like it, I'll cook more when I come over in the future."

Zheng Tie said modestly while accompanying his future father-in-law in drinking.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Lanxin somewhat proudly mentioned that Zheng Tie had bought a very beautiful villa today.

The elderly couple felt very surprised; they hadn't heard them mention it yesterday afternoon. What was going on?

Zheng Tie felt it was necessary to explain, if only to reassure the elderly couple!

"Uncle and Auntie, thank you for agreeing to my relationship with Xiaoxin. Don't worry, I will treat Xiaoxin well in the future."

Chen Lanxin told her parents about the melo pearl, though she didn't specify how much it sold for.

She emphasized that Zheng Tie had found the Coconut Shell Snail. She had merely followed along to help carry things and had been forcefully given 700,000 yuan by Zheng Tie.

The elderly couple heard that their daughter had received 800,000 yuan not long after she started dating Zheng Tie.

Meanwhile, they had lived for most of their lives and had never seen so much money.

This son-in-law was completely a lucky charm, a true golden nugget.

At the same time, they admired their daughter's discernment, being able to pick the best one out of so many people at a glance!

"Mom, I'll get some money for you later! Don't be too frugal anymore; your daughter has money now, heh heh heh."

Chen Lanxin said with a hint of pride.

"I don't want your money. You two are still young, and you'll need money for many things in the future. Keep it for yourselves and spend it carefully!"

Mother Chen scolded her with a smile.

"Mom, don't go blabbing about it outside! Otherwise, everyone will know that your prospective son-in-law is rich. Everyone will come to borrow money, and that won't do!"

Chen Lanxin started to act playful.

"Ugly girl, no shame! Saying everything out loud. Don't I know about not flaunting wealth?"

Mother Chen looked at Zheng Tie, who was gazing at her daughter with doting affection, and started scolding her daughter with a smile.

The meal ended happily amidst Chen Lanxin's jokes and banter.

Chen Lanxin then took Zheng Tie's hand and went to her Fourth Brother Chen Dong's house to play.

Chen Dong looked at the two holding hands, their expressions intimate, and was utterly dumbfounded:

"Holy crap, is it that open now?"

"Your relationship has developed so quickly?"

"Are you planning to keep up with the pace of our country's economic development?"

Chen Dong immediately hit them with a triple question.

"What do you mean? Is it not allowed?"

Chen Lanxin retorted righteously.

"Xiaoxin and A Tie are here? Don't mind your Fourth Brother! He doesn't know how to speak properly."

Fourth Sister-in-law heard the commotion and came out to usher the two into the house.

The four sat together, chatting and drinking tea. During this time, with Zheng Tie's consent, he called over his cousins who were at home.

He wanted them to meet his youngest sister's boyfriend.

Two hours later, the two returned to Qingshan Town, and Zheng Tie told Big Sister about the process of getting the property deed today.

"Sister, Lanxin absolutely refused to have her name on the property deed. She did all this to prove that she loves me not for anything else."

"She's too good to me, and I've truly fallen for her. I want to marry her. Can you help me come up with an idea?"

Zheng Jin felt a bit surprised, yet also felt it was only natural.

The emotions between a man and a woman can sometimes be so sudden, happening in an instant.

At the right time, meeting the right person, everything becomes so simple.

"Alright, Lanxin is indeed a good girl, smart, sensible, and so beautiful."

"I'll discuss this with Mom and Dad tonight to see how we can handle it as soon as possible."

"Also, regarding the 'moving into' your new house, Big Sister will help you choose an auspicious day. You don't need to worry about any of this. Just focus on your relationship."

Zheng Jin said with a beaming smile, looking at her Little Brother whom she had raised since childhood.

"Thank you, Big Sister! Heh heh heh."

"Go on! Go play with Lanxin!"

Zheng Jin said to her Little Brother with a smile. The whole family had been worried sick about Zheng Tie's marriage. Now that it was about to be resolved, she was naturally happy.

Zheng Jin, who had originally planned to call home later that evening, felt she couldn't wait. It was as if something was weighing on her heart, and she wouldn't feel comfortable until she released it.

It was also like encountering something good and not sharing it with her family; she would always feel uneasy.
