Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 588: Informing the Engagement Date
Grandma Nie discussed the engagement with Lu Jiaxin, which made her realize that it was time to call back and inform them of the engagement.

At six o'clock, Lu Jiaxin called Lu Jiaguang, who should have been off work at this time. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiaguang was on a business trip, so Wang Xiaojie answered the phone.

Lu Jiaxin said, "Sister-in-law, Ah Zhan and I have chosen the date for our engagement, September 18th. I wonder if you and brother can come then?"

Although we know that the probability of Lu Jiaguang coming is zero, we still have to invite him. As for whether he can come, that is my eldest cousin's problem.

Wang Xiaojie panicked: "Jia Xin, the engagement date should be that the man's family calculates several auspicious days, and then goes to the woman's family to ask the elders to choose one."

She was very sure that Lu Hongjun didn't know about this. If he knew, he would tell her husband immediately and then ask the Nie family to go there to entertain the guests. After all, the Nie family was a wealthy family, and the Huang family was not suitable to attend.

Lu Jiaxin said she didn't care about these old customs: "Ah Zhan and I asked a master chef to calculate the engagement date. It's a good day."

Wang Xiaojie was silent for a moment and said, "Jia Xin, this won't work. If the Nie family is sincere, they should come to Sijiu City to ask your father for marriage. If you agree to the engagement without any expression, the Nie family will look down on you."

"Jia Xin, listen to me. Don't think that these old customs can be ignored. If you don't follow them, not only will outsiders laugh at you and no one will want you, but even your in-laws will look down on you."

If Lu Jiaxin wasn't so wealthy, Wang Xiaojie's worries might be possible. But now, everyone in Hong Kong knows that Nie Zhan loves her, and she herself is the chairman of a listed company with a net worth of tens of billions. How could she be laughed at for not having anyone to offer her love? But she knew that Wang Xiaojie was also thinking about her, and marriage in Hong Kong was indeed more particular.

Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't follow the old customs, but... Nie Zhan's grandfather was so angry that he had a stroke not long ago and is still recovering. His father is a scientific madman, and I have never met him until now; her mother has a bad relationship with Nie Zhan, so if she comes to her house, she might do something bad."

Wang Xiaojie felt overwhelmed after hearing her words: "What caused his grandfather to have a stroke? And why is her mother not on good terms with Nie Zhan? Jiaxin, let me tell you, if the mother-in-law is not good, she will find ways to rub her daughter-in-law. If Nie Zhan's mother doesn't like you and opposes your marriage, then you can't marry her."

They all knew from their hometown that Lu Jiaxin's boyfriend had a net worth of several billion. Rich families are full of gossips, so she thought it would be better to marry someone of equal status.

Lu Jiaxin explained to her one by one: "Aunt Nie Zhan forced her husband's woman to have an abortion. Unexpectedly, she bled profusely and two people died. The woman's sister was resentful and plotted against them. The old man has high blood pressure and suffered a stroke due to this."

"As for her mother, she is a love-brained person. She is the kind of person who puts all her energy and thoughts on a man once she falls in love. Her mother has been married five times. She got married for the fifth time two years ago. In order to make the man believe that she is sincere, she gave birth to a child last year at the age of 52."

Wang Xiaojie is a nurse and knows what it means to have a baby at the age of 52. It means to gamble with one's life. But it doesn't matter. After all, she is gambled with her life. What bothers her is that Nie Manlin got married five times: "Getting married five times is treating marriage as a joke. As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son is born to dig holes. She treats marriage as a joke. Will Nie Zhan be the same as her?"

Lu Jiaxin laughed: "Some people are influenced by their parents, but some hate their parents' behavior and don't want to be like that. Nie Zhan is disgusted by her every time she falls in love, and he vows not to be like her."

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me getting hurt. I have my own company and I make a lot of money every year. Even if our relationship fades and we get divorced, we can still live well." Wang Xiaojie was not satisfied with the Nie family. If her daughter Zhenzhen were to find a family like this, she would definitely not agree. But Jiaxin was so opinionated that she must have thought it through carefully since she decided to get engaged. Most importantly, it was useless for her to object to the family.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaojie said, "Jia Xin, people like your mother-in-law only care about themselves and don't care about others. It's not easy to get along with such people. You have to be careful."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, even if I marry Nie Zhan, we will live in my villa, and at most we will see each other during festivals. As for her affairs with other members of the Nie family, Nie Zhan will handle them. I will not interfere."

Wang Xiaojie felt relieved. She said, "Who in your family do you want to go to Hong Kong to attend your engagement party? I will make the arrangements."

Lu Jiaxin said, "You and my eldest brother, my father, and Shanzi. I wanted to invite my eldest uncle and aunt, but they are old and I am afraid they can't stand the long journey."

Especially my aunt can't ride in a car. She gets dizzy when she does and it's very painful. It's better for her to stay in her hometown and live a peaceful life without causing any trouble for them.

Wang Xiaojie was shocked that they only invited four people. However, from this incident, it can be seen that Jiaxin really lost patience with Lao Er and Jiajie.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaojie said, "Jia Xin, if your mother's family is too small, the Nie family will look down on you. I will take Lu Ping and Lu An with me. And Jia Jie, he was indeed wrong, but he already knows he was wrong. For the past six months, I have watched him with cold eyes and now he can take charge."

"Can you take charge now?"

Wang Xiaojie said, "Last year, your second uncle had a lot of surgery, which exhausted the whole family. As soon as he came back, he hired a deaf man to take care of them, and then left them alone. His actions scared your second uncle and made him stop doing evil. Because he had to go for a follow-up check-up three months after the surgery, he let them stay in Sijiu City to recuperate, and hired a deaf man to take care of him."

"Now that Jiacai works with him, she can earn more than 200 yuan a month, which is double her salary. Not only that, he also found a very good carpenter for Lu Xing; he sent Lu Mei to Yangcheng to learn makeup, and also enrolled her in night school."

Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised, but Lu Jiacai was an honest man. This was also thanks to his uncle. If it weren't for his strict teaching, the two brothers would definitely not be well behaved.

"What about the other three?"

Wang Xiaojie said: "Jiajie said it's normal for brothers and sisters to have conflicts, and many families have them. But they didn't want them to pay for Dad's surgery and just come to take care of him. It's better not to have such brothers and sisters, and they said they won't have any contact with each other in the future."

His attitude was very clear, that is, he would only support Lu Jiacai's family in the future. But this was unreasonable. Those three were really not decent. They came to him when something happened. They were not willing to take care of his father when he was sick without paying for it. Who would dare to get involved with such people? If they did, they would be afraid of being stabbed in the back. No, they had already stabbed Jiajie in the back once.
