After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 815 - 439: Uncle’s Romantic Entanglements
Chen Feng really didn't want to spend too much energy on his uncle's mess, so after thinking for a while, he said: "Since they've set conditions and uncle likes this woman, we can still negotiate with them. We can lend the money for the house to her and uncle, have them both write an IOU to us, and they must repay us later. The property title, of course, should have both their names, not just one.
The bride price of 180,000 is also fine, but when they get married, they must have a dowry of equivalent value, like a car. This is also a custom from our side. There's no such thing as not returning the 180,000 bride price. Mom, you should go discuss this carefully with her mom along with Aunt. If they agree, we can try to make it work. After all, uncle likes this woman."
Zhao Xiaolan thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "Your uncle is truly worrisome. At such an age, he still needs his nephew to manage these troubles for him. Sigh! I hope Mao Xiaoling and her mother agree. This way, your uncle can truly settle down and live a good life in the future. I'll tell your Aunt now, and later we'll go talk to that woman's mother together."
So this matter was settled this way.
About two hours later, by around seven in the evening, Zhao Xiaolan called again, her tone much more relaxed: "Ah Feng, her mom agreed. As long as we lend money for them to buy a house, her mom also agrees that the house should have both their names. After receiving the 180,000 bride price, she also promises to buy a car as a dowry when they officially marry. Tomorrow morning, your uncle and Little Ling will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng also felt relieved. He had done quite a bit for his uncle and naturally hoped his uncle would have a good ending.
Moreover, he didn't want his uncle's matters to go on endlessly and then come trouble him again.
"That's good, I can lend them the money for the house. The bride price too."
He has money now, and lending some for his uncle's marriage is something he is willing to do. Furthermore, it's not a gift; they will have to return it.
Zhao Xiaolan quickly said: "This money can't all come from you. The major portion should be from me and your Aunt. We'll lend them 100,000 each to make it 200,000 in total. Your elder brother and your cousins also need to lend money to gather another 200,000. This way, there will be 400,000—a good amount to buy a house and decorate it. If it's not enough, they can gather the rest themselves. You only need to provide the 180,000 bride price. I know you have money now, but this money, your uncle will have to return in the future, though it might take some time. You don't mind, right?"
After hearing what his mom said, Chen Feng didn't object. Although he was the richest among his uncle's relatives and wasn't short of money, he wouldn't foolishly take on the entire financial burden.
"Alright, I'll go along with you. I am not in a rush for my money. It's fine if uncle returns it when his life gets better in the future. I'll transfer the money to your account in a bit. Remember to have them both sign the IOU, don't let only uncle sign it," Chen Feng specifically reminded.
A woman like Mao Xiaoling, one should always be cautious with her kind of mindset.
"I understand. I've discussed it with them earlier. The IOU should have both their names. It's a shared debt for them, tying the two together."
"Then that's settled. I'll transfer the money to you shortly."
"No rush, transfer it after they get the certificate tomorrow."
"My mobile transfer is quick."
"Alright then."
After ending the call, Chen Feng immediately used his phone to transfer 180,000 to his mom's account.
The next day, Zhao Guozhong and Mao Xiaoling really went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, and Zhao Xiaolan's sisters were very prompt in lending them money as promised. This included Chen Feng's 180,000 and Chen Rui's 80,000.
Zhao Guozhong and Mao Xiaoling wrote the IOUs as agreed, each signing their names.
In this way, Zhao Guozhong borrowed more than 400,000, enough to buy a house and furnish it in the countryside.
The day after, Chen Feng's cousins also lent money to Zhao Guozhong and his wife, with the least being 30,000 and the most being 50,000.
There are two daughters on his Aunt's side. His deceased Uncle had a pair of siblings who are now married. The big brother, actually the eldest nephew of the uncle, lent 50,000, which was the most among the four.
With the help of these relatives, the old bachelor Zhao Guozhong finally could officially form a family, much to the comfort of Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaomei.
As long as Zhao Guozhong formally establishes a family this time, they'll have fulfilled their parents' last wish, giving them closure.
Zhao Guozhong and Mao Xiaoling moved quickly, finding a 120-square-meter house in just two days, newly furnished last year.
Originally meant to be a bridal house, the newlyweds who had lived there for less than a year already divorced due to the man being coaxed by friends into gambling and losing everything. In a rush to sell the house to pay off debts, it was reasonably priced at 388,000, including fine furnishings and new appliances.
So, Zhao Guozhong and his wife lucked out with this find. Concerns about bad luck didn't matter at that price.
Because they had the money, they completed the house transaction on the same day.
A day later, Yang Guozhong, Mao Xiaoling, her mother, and two kids moved directly into the new home.
They also set the engagement banquet date for two days later on an auspicious day.
Although Chen Feng was reluctant to move or act, with his uncle's engagement coming up, he had to go back home early to help out a bit.
Not to mention, acting as a driver for his mom to buy things for the engagement banquet was quite necessary. Since his grandparents had passed away early, his mom, as the groom's family, obviously had to step up and help.
Eventually, Chen Feng hit the road back to his hometown a few days after Wu Mengting.
Sun Xiaorui felt a bit helpless upon hearing about it. She did want to go back with Chen Feng, but apparently, she didn't have the qualification to do so.
