Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 44. Chosen Son-in-law Lin Xiao

The next day, Saturday.

Lin Xiao slept until he woke up naturally, had a quick breakfast, and then simply tidied himself up from head to toe.

He left home at 9:30 and arrived at Han's house at 10 o'clock - although Liu Liyun asked him to come for lunch, it would be very ignorant if he really came at lunchtime.

Lin Xiao brought a bag of fruit and a bottle of camellia oil to the door.

Liu Liyun saw this and complained: "Why did you buy so many things again, kid? We are a family, why do you still have to go through all this trouble?"

Lin Xiao could see that she was really angry and not just being polite.

He smiled and said, "I didn't buy anything. These green dates and kiwis are low in sugar. Dad's blood sugar is a little high, so eating this regularly to supplement vitamin C won't cause blood sugar to rise. This camellia oil is from camellias that my mom picked and squeezed herself. It can soften blood vessels and lower blood lipids. You can put some of this in your cooking. It's better than the cooking oil you buy!"

Liu Liyun took it and looked at it. Sure enough, there was no label on the oil barrel and there were some oil stains at the bottle mouth.

Lin Xiao's words warmed her heart.

"You are such a thoughtful kid, you are so much better than that damn girl Xixi... Then I will accept it, and you must thank your parents for me!"

Liu Liyun spoke sincerely.

Lin Xiao agreed, washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help.

When he found out that Han Haijun was not at home, he asked, "Dad, aren't you going to rest today?"

Liu Liyun's eyes lit up, and she smiled with a suppressed look of joy: "In the past, I was guaranteed to have no rest on Saturdays, but I couldn't guarantee a rest on Sundays. In the future... I'm afraid I'll be even busier!"

This pause has a special meaning.

Lin Xiao understood immediately.

On the way here, he kept wondering what good news Liu Liyun had that made her specially invite him to dinner.

After much guessing, he could only guess that Han Xixi's new songs' reputation data would make a comeback, and he also felt that his mother-in-law was quite concerned about the music market.

Think about it now.

When Liu Liyun called him last night, "Human World" had just been online for less than half an hour.

It's far from time to celebrate.

It is absolutely impossible for someone like Liu Liyun, who has been in the system for a long time, to do something like opening champagne at halftime.

Now it seems that it is indeed true.

The good news that she didn't say on the phone turned out to be about Han Haijun.

Han Haijun is now at the deputy bureau level.

At this level, each step up is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Many people retire directly in this position. The best they can do is to be promoted to a nominal position and get an extra 200 yuan in retirement pay.

Look at Liu Liyun's expression.

Han Haijun's promotion this time is definitely not a nominal position.

Well, if nothing unexpected happens, he is now Director Han, Director Han, or Mayor Han!
Lin Xiao already understood, but didn't ask any more questions.

This matter is very sensitive.

If someone proactively tells you that you can listen, but you rush to ask, or even get more excited than the person involved, it will be hard not to be suspected of having ulterior motives.

So when faced with Liu Liyun's hint, he just laughed it off.

In the end, Liu Liyun couldn't help but inform Han Haijun that the transfer order had come down and he would soon take office as the mayor of Yizhou City.

"Yizhou?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

What a coincidence, it happens to be the prefecture-level city above my hometown, Anyang County.

Liu Liyun pretended to be distressed and said, "Yes, Yizhou is neither close nor far, it is more than 300 kilometers away from Ninghai. After taking office, I definitely can't run back and forth every day. I'm afraid I can only come back once every ten days or half a month!"

Although they were words of complaint, Lin Xiao could not hear any sadness in them.

But think about it, no matter who this happens to, it's a good thing that will make their ancestors' graves smoke green smoke, and it's so funny that you can't even wake up from laughing.

Still worried? Burn it!
But since the other person was worried, Lin Xiao could only follow the conversation and pretend to comfort him.

As they were talking, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered Han Xixi's "sponsor keeping scandal" a month ago.

Although Han Xixi later explained to him that the reason for not clarifying was that he was afraid of affecting his father Han Haijun's career.

But Lin Xiao couldn't accept it at the time. Because according to his later contacts with the Han family, Han Haijun was a clean and hardworking person during his tenure as an official, and he could never be a corrupt official.

As the saying goes, a man of integrity fears no crooked shadow!

If Han Haijun was really innocent, why would he be afraid that his identity would be questioned by netizens after Han Xixi clarified the matter?
But now, Lin Xiao suddenly realized.

There is a set of procedures for the promotion of cadres. The higher the level, the more complicated the procedure is and the longer it takes.

The Korean Navy has now issued a redeployment order.

In other words, this matter had been brewing at least half a year ago, and he himself had known about it for at least two months.

Once you sort out the timeline, everything becomes clear.

Don’t be afraid of rumors!

But he couldn't just watch the promotion opportunity he had worked so hard to get go to waste, so Han Xixi's so-called star career had to be sacrificed!
……

Regarding the promotion of the Han Navy.

No matter how happy Liu Liyun was, her communication with Lin Xiao was limited to the point.

Changing the subject, she suddenly said, "Xiao Lin, your dad and I discussed it last time and we plan to buy you a car!"

Lin Xiao was cracking garlic and almost hit his finger with a kitchen knife.

"……what?"

"Why are you so surprised?!"

Liu Liyun smiled and said, "According to custom, a daughter must be given a car as a dowry when she marries. Although Xixi has one now, it is old after all. We plan to sell it and buy a new one for you to drive. It will be convenient for you to go to get off work and it will be more convenient to pick up Xixi in the future. It will be more useful than the current one!"

Lin Xiao smiled ashamedly.

Although Han Xixi has bought this red Mercedes-Benz for three years, she studied in Haicheng and entered the entertainment industry directly after graduation. She rarely drives it and it is basically as good as a new one.

Liu Liyun clearly knew that this car was not suitable for him to drive, so she took the initiative to suggest changing it, but she didn't say it explicitly and insisted that it was "old"!
Lin Xiao felt sorry for Xiao Ben!

But on the other hand, his mother-in-law was really considerate of him. She paid for the car and kept his face in mind.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Liu Liyun thought he agreed and moved on to the next topic.

“And there’s a house!”

Liu Liyun smiled and said, "Normally, the woman buys the car and the man buys the house, but our family doesn't care about this! Buying a house has never been the man's obligation, and our family doesn't sell our daughter, right?"

Lin Xiao could only say yes awkwardly.

Liu Liyun laughed even more heartily, and continued: "So, your father and I are considering buying a new house together. The housing prices have fallen over the years, and now they are finally picking up a bit!
"We have another house on hand, and we're planning to sell it. The one you're living in now is good, but it's a little off the beaten path! I'm thinking selfishly, why not sell it too, and let our two families buy a bigger one in the city center, so you and Xixi can live there comfortably... What do you think?"

Lin Xiao's eyes widened and he was drooling in fear.

No!

My mother-in-law’s standards are so confusing!
When it comes to buying a car, it is the woman's obligation, but when it comes to buying a house, it becomes a joint effort between the man and the woman?

Lin Xiao didn't dare to speak.

During the days since he and Han Xixi got their marriage certificate, he could clearly feel that Han Haijun and Liu Liyun's affection for him was growing day by day, but he never expected that they would give him cars and houses as gifts in just over a month.

Not only was it a gift, but it was also delivered very smoothly without losing face for him at all!

In fact, he had considered these things before agreeing to Han Xixi's contract marriage.

But that's what he was thinking.

Even if his parents-in-law like this son-in-law who suddenly appeared, they will definitely have to observe him for a year or two for the sake of their daughter's lifelong happiness.

By then, if they wanted to take any action, his contract with Han Xixi would have ended.

He needn't worry about it.

But he never expected that Liu Liyun's trust and good impression of him would be established so quickly, reaching its peak in just one month.

Lin Xiao almost began to doubt his life.

"Is it possible that the most suitable career for me in this life... is to be a son-in-law?!"
