Nobody expected this to happen so suddenly. When Han Yi and Lin Wan arrived, everyone was already there except for Chen Haichang.

Mei Lang Jun returned earlier than them because of the issues with Tao Jia. A few years ago, due to Mei Lang Jun causing such a fuss, no matchmaker had come to propose to Tao Jia, so the Tao Family had to find someone to introduce people to Tao Jia, but she wouldn’t even take a look. Seeing that Tao Jia was already in her early thirties, if she didn’t get married, having children later would be difficult.

The godparents jumped at the chance, continuously persuading Tao Jia’s parents on their children’s issues. In the end, it was only when Wu Bing, Tao Jia’s mom, softened that the matter between the two was settled.

Initially, Wu Bing was the most adamantly opposed to their relationship, but now she was the first to nod in agreement. What else could she do? Her daughter was clearly set on marrying no one but Mei Lang Jun, and if things dragged on, it would still be her daughter who suffered.

In a blink of an eye, her daughter was aging. Unlike men, time wouldn’t wait for her. Wu Bing realized that this lifetime, they wouldn’t be able to separate from the Mei Family.

Anyway, both were in love. Setting aside other things, Mei Lang Jun was much better than Mei Langchi in many ways. Over the years, she observed the relationship between the eldest and the second child of the Mei Family wasn’t that great. That Liang Qian and Xie Lingzhi were always at odds. This way, her daughter would avoid a lot of trouble by marrying into that family.

Since they agreed, the parents from both sides intended to hold the wedding as soon as possible. Mei Lang Jun and Tao Jia had long submitted their marriage reports. As soon as the Tao Family agreed, the leaders approved it immediately.

Mei Lang Jun and Tao Jia took time off this time to return and prepare for the wedding. Both are currently working in Z City. The idea was to just get new furniture and such in the Capital City and wait for their allocated house in Z City to set up the major items.

In recent years, Liang Qian helped Chen Haichang with the store and learned a lot. She became much more efficient and also earned quite a bit. So for her son’s wedding, they used the best. They provided the bride’s family with a dowry of the highest standard in the Capital City.

Not just the major items, even things like the TV, washing machine, refrigerator, and computer were all provided. All these items were converted into money for Tao Jia and her husband, so they could purchase these things in Z City later.

Mei Lang Jun and Tao Jia just got their marriage certificate upon returning and were in the midst of wedding preparations when suddenly the old man fell ill and passed away unexpectedly.

The old man’s passing at this time infuriated the Tao Family, and even Liang Qian was angry enough to scratch herself in frustration.

However, Mei Lang Jun and Tao Jia did not react much. Since they had their marriage certificate, it was official; having a ceremony or not was just a formality. They could live just fine without it. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In fact, they didn’t know that the old man got so angry he had an intestinal perforation. He wanted to give something to his grandson for the wedding. Over the years, with his limited mobility, he once asked the caretaker to take him to the old house, but before reaching it, he was grazed by a tricycle. After that, the eldest brother wouldn’t let the caretaker take him out and only allowed him to move around in the entertainment room in the courtyard.

He wanted to go to the old house, but no one would take him. When his grandson was getting married, he thought it was time to bring out the hidden things. He fussed for two days, and the caretaker finally took him in the direction of the old house. But when he got there, he couldn’t go upstairs, and the caretaker didn’t understand his signals, only showing him around a few rooms on the first floor. Since nobody had lived there for years, a layer of dust had settled in the rooms. He didn’t want to see that, wanted to go upstairs, but the caretaker, possibly reluctant to take him upstairs, pretended not to see his cues, saying directly and pushing him out of the house.

He was so anxious, sweating profusely, and when he went back to tell his wife about it, she was so frail and indifferent that she didn’t bother with his antics.

That same night, he was so upset that he had stomach pains, and initially, it was just pain, but soon after, he started vomiting and having diarrhea. Mei Shuping saw his condition and quickly called the second brother to help drive the old man to the hospital. Although they operated, the old man couldn’t speak clearly on the bed, and whatever he was trying to say remained a mystery.
