Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Proposing Marriage

Luo Qiao took the money and glanced at it, then she handed it back to Luo Haotian. "Dad, do you really have to be so exacting with your daughter? Fine, I originally accepted this money, but now I consider it as my way to show filial piety to you."

"Besides, now that I have the capacity, it’s only right that I should contribute something big to the family. Our family’s phone was installed thanks to my second brother paying for it. You and grandparents need to get used to our ways of showing filial respect."

Luo Haotian looked at the money that he hadn’t been able to give away and said softly, "Then I’ll keep this money for you, and when you get married, my daughter will have a grand and glorious wedding."

Lu Yichen acted swiftly, and it was unclear how he had discussed it with Luo Haotian and the Luo’s Elderly Couple, but three days later the Gu family and Lu Xinyi arrived with gifts, having already agreed with the Luo Family in advance.

Old Master Gu Baiqing and Luo Daoren hit it off as if they’d been friends for years, chatting away until they almost become sworn brothers, until Lu Xinyi reminded them, and Master Gu then broached the main topic.

Lu Xinyi had only received the call the day before, and it was only then that he learned his second son had started a relationship. He felt both reassured and a bit let down.

He was reassured because his second son had finally started dating; before, he would greet everyone with a cold face, and unexpected to Lu Xinyi, his son had even chosen to date freely.

The disappointment stemmed from being a father who was only informed the day before meeting the parents-in-law. Sighing, he took a while to mentally prepare himself before he felt a bit better.

Master Gu said, "My dear in-laws, I know Qiaoqiao still needs to go to school, and we will definitely support her fully. Since the two children are fond of each other, should we not formalize their relationship first? It will make things easier for them to interact in the future."

The Luo’s Elderly Couple felt that since the children had been together for so long and loved each other, they should make it official.

The decision was made by Luo Daoren.

But choosing a date for the engagement became a dilemma; they had initially thought of organizing the engagement before school started again, but Zhou Guifang said, "Either this month or after school starts in September. August is out of the question since it’s the seventh month in the lunar calendar."

Just as Luo Qiao was about to suggest setting a date in September as she had plans to go out and engagement this month would delay her, she heard Lu Yichen say, "Then let’s pick a date this month; I have prepared everything already."

Zhou Guifang glanced at her granddaughter and asked, "Wouldn’t that be too rushed?"

Gu Ruqian, who had come along, laughed and said, "Not at all, grandma-in-law. Look at next Monday, July 25th is a good date. That day is the sixteenth of the sixth lunar month. What do you think?"

Old Master Gu looked at Luo Daoren and said, "It’s better to settle it early. If we wait until after school starts, it could disrupt Qiaoqiao’s studies."

Luo Daoren said, "Then let’s set it for that day."

Luo Daoren thought since both families had sat down to talk, it was best to be straightforward.

At the Zhou Family, Pan Jie looked at her daughter and asked, "Have you and Siyan really decided to buy a house?"

Zhou Xiaomin replied, "Yes, Siyan hasn’t reached the rank for family housing with the military yet. Although Dad has a house, people will inevitably gossip if Siyan moves in, and I don’t want to make it difficult for him. Even if we don’t need those home appliances now, with that money, we could get a better house."

Zhou Wanfeng listened to the mother-daughter conversation and interjected, "Xiaomin, I’m not sure it’s my place to say this."

Zhou Xiaomin encouraged him, "Dad, please speak."

Zhou Wanfeng said, "When Siyan’s older brother got married, the Luo Family must have spent quite a sum. Plus, I’ve heard that refrigerator was given as a congratulatory gift by your future sister-in-law. It hasn’t been long since then, and asking the Luo Family for so much money now might be too much for them."

Zhou Xiaomin immediately laughed and relayed to her parents what Luo Siyan had told her.

The story moved both Zhou Wanfeng and Pan Jie. Pan Jie said, "Xiaomin, meeting such a family is your good fortune. Once you marry into their family, make sure to get along well."

Zhou Wanfeng added, "True, a harmonious family leads to prosperity. They’re obviously helping you and your husband-to-be now. Remember this favor."

Zhou Xiaomin chuckled, "I know, Mom and Dad."

These past few days, whenever she had free time in the afternoon, Luo Qiao would go to the second floor of the little building to plant flowers. She had even ordered a batch of porcelain pots and planters of various sizes to be delivered there.

Aside from the ones she needed, she stashed the rest away in her space.
