Chapter 390: Marriage Proposal
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Zhenzhen excitedly shared the news of Fourth Brother and Chen Shanshan with her parents and grandmother. The atmosphere in the room was filled with joy as they decided on a suitable day to send a matchmaker to the Chen family to propose marriage.
Chen Youwei and his wife had been well aware of their daughter’s affection for Qin Silong for quite some time. The parents on both sides wasted no time in earnestly discussing and finalizing the marriage arrangements.
Mrs. Yang, Qin Zhenzhen’s mother, had a favorable impression of Chen Shanshan. Her four sons were known for their robust and straightforward nature, devoid of any hidden agendas. Although they had been a bit overbearing and unreasonable in the past, they had matured considerably over the past year. All in all, Mrs. Yang firmly believed that her son was a decent and honest person without any ulterior motives. Therefore, she hoped that her future daughter-in-law would also be straightforward and sincere—qualities she found in Chen Shanshan.
As Mrs. Yang contemplated her son’s likely absence from home for the next two or three years, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Chen Shanshan. This sentiment translated into more generous betrothal gifts for her. To avoid any potential discord, Mrs. Yang took the time to explain the changes in their family’s circumstances to her two daughters-in-law.
“Our family has undergone some changes recently. In the past, we were content and never went without. But now, we can rightfully say we are well-off. I owe this to your grandmother and sister, and I’m also grateful for the generosity of Young Master.”
Despite Qin Zhenzhen’s marriage into the Su family, she had made it clear that not all the income she generated from her business endeavors belonged to the Su family. She and Su Bin maintained a cooperative partnership.
If Qin Zhenzhen made a contribution, Su Bin would readily cover the expenses.
After deducting the initial investment, they would evenly divide the profits they earned. Naturally, half of Qin Zhenzhen’s share would be allocated to the Qin family, a decision that Su Bin fully supported.
In his view, his relationship with Qin Zhenzhen was paramount. He had already made up his mind that her money was his money. Moreover, the Dragon Phoenix Hall, which he operated, was expected to generate significant income, mirroring his wife’s successful business. Yet, he foresaw that her venture would have enduring prosperity, whereas his enterprise would grow over time, leading to increased profits.
Recognizing the relative risks associated with the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s business, Su Bin
had already planned to disband it once all matters were settled. This would allow the core members to return to their normal lives. If he were to pursue an official position, he was determined to prioritize his wife’s desires. The family’s financial prosperity relied heavily on her business acumen.
He noted that Qin Zhenzhen had acquired her skills from his grandmother, and her willingness to contribute to the Qin family was only natural. Su Bin had no objections to this arrangement; he was far from miserly and felt content with having such a loving wife.
Mrs. Yang was greatly pleased by Su Bin’s generosity and went on to explain further, addressing her sons and their wives. “I want to clarify this because I hope that when Third Brother and Fourth Brother marry, the betrothal gifts will be more generous than what Eldest Brother and Second Brother received. Back then, we had fewer resources, but now our family is flourishing.”
Qin Dalong and Qin Erlong chuckled warmly and assured her, “Mother, there’s no need to worry. We won’t have any objections.”
Their wives joined in, echoing similar sentiments. “Mother, please don’t concern yourself with this. We have more than enough to live comfortably. We assist in your sister’s workshop, and she generously provides us with monthly allowances.”
“We’ve had it easy, and our sister’s kindness has been overwhelming. Mother, you don’t need to rely on us to cover the family’s expenses. It’s all thanks to our grandmother and sister, as well as our sister’s marriage to such a wonderful husband, that we enjoy this wonderful life..”
