Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 8: House Fighting Farce
On Monday, Da Lao Guang Xianglan and A Yao Xingzi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate. Da Lao Guang Xianglan did not plan to hold a wedding, but would go back to her hometown in Yuzhou to visit relatives and treat it as a wedding and honeymoon. A Yao and Xingzi would wait until Da Lao Guang came back to hold their wedding.

In the evening, everyone was watching TV in the living room. The old man and his mother came out of the dining room carrying a large snakeskin bag. Xianglan, who was sitting, quickly stood up to greet the two elders.

"Sister-in-law, A Guang, what train are you taking tomorrow?" Old Dou Kang Ershou sat down next to A Guang.

"Eight o'clock." said Big Brother Guang.

"Eight o'clock, remember to bring a few more boxes of instant noodles. The food on the train is expensive and not tasty." When my dad said the food was not tasty, he deliberately used Mandarin.

"Xianglan, when you see your parents, remember to say hello to them for me. Invite them to visit us when you have time." The old lady paid more attention to interpersonal relationships.

"Okay, Mom." Sister-in-law Xianglan quickly agreed.

"A Guang, this is a gift from us to your father-in-law and mother-in-law." The old woman handed the bag in her hand to A Guang.

"No need, Mom. I can just go to Yuzhou and buy what I need when the time comes." The eldest brother just thought it was troublesome and didn't want to bring it.

"You can buy it when the time comes. You think it's free?" said the old woman.

"It's inconvenient to carry so many things." The boss still didn't want it.

"This is your father's gift." The old woman insisted.

"Mom, I just know it's from my father-in-law, so I don't dare to accept it." Da Laoguang held the bag and pulled Wang Yulian to the side and said. He knew very well what kind of person my father-in-law was. The things he gave were either expired or cheap. His new son-in-law would not be able to give them to him.

"You poor boy, do you want to receive my mother's gift?" Wang Yulian took out a stack of money from her bag, which seemed to be several thousand yuan.

"Thank you, mom." Big Brother Guang accepted the bag with satisfaction.

"Xianglan, where do you plan to live after you come back from Yuzhou? Your company has dormitories, right?" asked the second sister-in-law while grinding her nails.

"Ours is a joint venture factory, and there are no houses to be divided up in the factory," replied the sister-in-law.

"This is what I think. I will live at home first, and then buy a house outside when I make enough money." Da Laoguang felt a little embarrassed. Before, he and Xianglan lived in the factory's dormitory. After marriage, it was naturally not suitable for them to live in separate dormitories, so they could only live at home.

"Of course, everyone knows that you are not well off. Where would you live if not at home? What do you think, uncle?" Wang Yulian naturally hoped that her son would come back to live with her. If one lives in the men's dormitory and the other in the women's dormitory, when will they have a grandson to hug?

"Did I say not to let him live here? Wait until he becomes successful. My eyebrows will be longer than my braids." Old Dou Kang Ershou had no objection. He thought it was only right for his eldest son to live at home even if he was not married, especially now that he was married.

Sachiko next to him couldn't stand it anymore. She had already signaled to A Yao several times, but A Yao didn't say anything. She had no choice but to be the bad guy: "Dad, I want to move back home after I get married to A Yao."

"No one wants to cultivate barren land, and if it is cultivated, people will fight for it. There are only a few rooms in the house, how will we live if we move back?" Old Dou Kang Ershou had a headache.

The Kang family's big house in Xiguan has 4 rooms and 1 attic. Before, the old man Kang Ershou and his wife Wang Yulian lived in one room, the second brother and his wife lived in another room, A Yao and A Zu each had a room, Kang Qirui lived in the attic, and Tianxiu slept with A Zu.

"Dad, the foundation of the company's house has just been laid. I have to squeeze in when I come home. There's nothing I can do about it." Sachiko had no choice. She hated living with a big family the most.

"No need to say, I'll move out. After I move out, Tianxiu will move back to his parents' room to sleep, so that will free up room for eldest brother and sister-in-law. Third brother's room can then be tidied up and become our wedding room." A'zu said quickly. He had wanted to move out for a long time, and he jumped at the chance when he saw it.

"Fourth Uncle, how can we ask you to move out? What does this have to do with you?" The second sister-in-law was not happy. She didn't want so many people to move back home so that they could really go shopping at the flower street at home.

"That's right." The second brother nodded.

"Fourth uncle, you are not married, who would chase you away if you live at home? Besides, if you move out, do you think anyone will be grateful to you?" Second sister-in-law meant something. But what Second sister-in-law said also made sense. It was supposed to be moved out after marriage, and it was not reasonable for married people to move back and ask unmarried people to move out. So Kang Qirui did not say anything. His attic was not suitable for a wedding room, and no one would compete with him for it.

"Okay, stop arguing, don't fight over it, everyone has a share in the house." The old woman immediately stopped their quarrel, "A-Zu, you don't have to move out either, you can sleep in the living room."

"No, what's the difference between living in the living room and guarding the door? Going to bed early is not okay, going to bed late is not okay, and wearing less when sleeping is even worse. What kind of freedom in life do we have then?" A-Zu firmly objected.

"Then what should we do? All that's missing is a place for you." The old nanny was very worried.

"Why don't you sleep in the attic with me? We can find someone to clean up the attic and divide it into two rooms." Kang Qirui suggested. The attic is quite large. In the previous life, after Yumei came, Yao and Zu slept in the attic together. Later, it was divided into two rooms, one for Coco and the other for Tianxiu. Now Kang Qirui proposed this plan several years in advance.

"Okay, the problem is solved. I'll ask a craftsman to work on the attic tomorrow, and Tianxiu can go back to A Zong's room to sleep." Kang Ershou also thought this was the best option, so he made the decision.

"Dad, I still think it's not suitable. Think about it, Tianxiu is already grown up, and he can live with us as a couple." The second brother hesitated and did not agree with this plan.

"You also know that early puberty is a hereditary trait in our family," the second brother continued.

"I also heard that precocious puberty can be inherited from one generation to the next. Your mother is a late bloomer." The old man knew what the second brother meant as soon as he heard it.

"Why are you talking about this?" The old woman felt embarrassed. How could she talk about these things in front of her son and daughter-in-law?
"It's not good for my son to mature too late." The second brother still didn't give up.

"Master, it's okay for Tianxiu to come back and sleep with us, but we want a bigger room." The second sister-in-law patted the second brother and then made a request to the old man.

"The two rooms are the same size." My father remembered that the two rooms were similar.

"No, my third uncle's room is bigger than mine. If you don't believe me, go in and measure it." The second sister-in-law immediately took dad and the others in to measure it. When A Yao and Xingzi saw this, they immediately followed them in.

After they went in, Kang Qirui and A Zu Lao Guang did not follow them in because it had nothing to do with them.

"Boss and sister-in-law, come with me." Kang Qirui stopped Lao Guang and Xiang Lan who wanted to go back to their room to pack their things.

A few people came to the attic, and A Zu also followed up to join in the fun. Kang Qirui ignored him and took out a red envelope from the closet and handed it to Xianglan: "Sister-in-law, happy wedding. I wish you a long and happy life together and a son soon."

Xianglan accepted the red envelope when she heard it was a wedding gift. It was only natural for an elder brother and his wife to receive a red envelope from their younger brother. But Guang saw that the red envelope was bulging and thought it was not right. He took it, opened it and counted it on the spot, which surprised him.

He quickly handed it back to Kang Qirui: "Xiao Rui, it is reasonable for the eldest brother to receive a red envelope from his younger brother when he gets married, but you gave too much. 5000 yuan, more than your monthly salary, I can't take it." Xianglan also nodded to indicate that she couldn't take it. A Zu was jealous and wanted to take it for the eldest brother.

"Brother and sister-in-law, just keep it. I was thinking of buying gifts, but after thinking about it, I think giving money is the most practical. You will need to spend money on many things when you return to Yuzhou. Without the brothers coming out to work, the three of us younger ones will have no chance to go to school." Kang Qirui was sincere.

Upon hearing this, A-Zu quickly took out his wallet, counted out 500 yuan and handed it to Da Lao Guang: "Da Lao, you know me, Zhou Riqing. This 500 is a wedding bonus for Da Lao and his wife. It can't compare to Lao Wu's, but it's also a token of my appreciation."

"Who wants to compete with you? Big Brother doesn't care about this." Kang Qirui first comforted the embarrassed A Zu, and then said to Big Brother Guang: "Big Brother, you still treat us as brothers, so accept the red envelope. What does it mean that the eldest brother does not want the red envelope from his younger brother when he gets married?"

A-Zu also nodded quickly: "That's right. If you don't accept your brother's red envelope, are you still a brother?"

Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan had no choice but to accept it, and secretly decided to wait until A Zu and Xiao Rui got married before sealing it back.

When they went downstairs, they saw Sachiko complaining about A Yao in the patio, and they knew that the second sister-in-law had gained control of the house. This was normal. Although Sachiko was smart and thoughtful, the second sister-in-law was much more aggressive, and Sachiko could only take advantage of her with words.
