Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Encountered Obstruction 1_1

Xia Jiehao opened the trunk and walked over carrying something, "Aunt, this is a health supplement I bought for you from Capital City."

When they returned, upon passing a health supplement store in the city center, Xia Jiehao got out of the car to pick it out.

"I really can’t accept this," Mrs. Cheng said, shaking her head immediately after a glance.

Her own daughter wasn’t with the other party yet, so how could she accept their gifts?

"Mom, you, you should just take it," Mrs. Xia urged with flushed cheeks, pinching the hem of her clothing.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng was stunned and widened her eyes, "Lan’er, what, what is this situation?"

Her own daughter was actually encouraging her to accept Xia Jiehao’s gifts?

Could it be that the sky was about to rain red?

"What else could the situation be except that they are together?" Mrs. Xia said with such embarrassment she wished she could find a crevice to crawl into.

"Oh my, you girl, you’ve finally seen sense!" Mrs. Cheng was overjoyed, with every wrinkle on her face trembling with laughter and her eyes brimming with relief, she then reached out to accept the items from Xia Jiehao, "Then this old lady will accept your gift for now."

"Sister, I’m really happy for you!" Aunt Lin also beamed with joy, she truly regarded her sister-in-law like her own elder sister and naturally wished her the best.

"Oh dear, this is so embarrassing," Mrs. Xia’s face was so red it almost seemed to bleed, noticing that quite a crowd had gathered around, she quickly pulled Mrs. Cheng, "Mom, sister-in-law, let’s go inside and talk."

"Ah, right, let’s go inside," Mrs. Cheng laughed, unable to contain her joy, and quickly followed with small steps.

Inside the house.

Xia Jiehao rubbed his hands together and got straight to the point, "Aunt, I plan to take Lanzi to the town tomorrow to meet my parents and discuss the wedding. Please let me know in advance what dowry you require, so I can prepare it."

"Ah, what dowry could possibly be needed, no need, no need, as long as you treat my daughter sincerely, that would be the greatest dowry," Mrs. Cheng waved her hands hastily.

A second marriage; according to the longstanding customs here, there was no demand for a dowry from the man’s side for a second marriage.

"That won’t do," said Xia Jiehao, who had also grown up here and was naturally aware of the local customs of second marriage, but he didn’t want Lanzi to feel slighted.

He added, "To me, Lanzi is no different from a first marriage."

Seeing his determination, Mrs. Cheng felt truly happy for her daughter and no longer refused, "If that’s the case, then we’ll follow the local customs. Just prepare the ’three big’ gifts and that will be fine."

Listening to them discuss wedding matters, Xia Ningxing was genuinely happy for her mother.

However...

She suddenly thought of something.

So she gave her five brothers a look.

"Brothers, come out with me for a moment," she said softly, gesturing to the five of them who were standing in the background.

"What’s the matter, little sister?" the five brothers asked, puzzled as they followed her out.

Once outside, Xia Ningxing spoke up, "Brothers, you wouldn’t mind having a stepfather, would you?"

Her own mother didn’t consider her sons when she chose to find a stepfather, not even asking them, but Xia Ningxing didn’t want to ignore them.

Eldest brother, "As long as Bao’er is happy, that’s all that matters."

Second brother, "Exactly, if our sister likes him, then we like him."

Third brother, "I think Uncle Xia would be fine as our dad."

Fourth brother, "Me too."

Fifth brother, "Count me in as well."

Now Xia Ningxing felt relieved. She stood on her tiptoes and patted their heads with her small hands, "So good! So understanding!"

Otherwise, if they were like typical kids who hear about their mother finding a stepdad, they would either throw a tantrum or disagree.
