My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 458: The Daughter-in-Law in Mother Han's Heart

After some time, the effects of the medication on Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli gradually wore off. Han Chunming looked at everything before him, his face filled with disbelief.

Han Chunming stammered as he looked at Cai Xiaoli and asked, "You? Me? What's going on between us?"

Cai Xiaoli pretended to cry and said aggrievedly, "You've treated me like this, so what's wrong with me?"

Han Chunming quickly said, "Don't cry, don't cry, I... I really don't know what happened."

Seeing Han Chunming's panic, Cai Xiaoli quickly said, "Han Chunming, what should we do now?"

Han Chunming was also panicked and had no idea what to do. Just then, a noise came from the living room next to the bedroom. Han Chunming immediately looked at Cai Xiaoli and said, "Quickly put your clothes on, there are people outside."

Soon, the two got dressed, opened the door, and saw Han's mother and Han Chunyan waiting in the living room.

Han's mother and Han Chunyan watched Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli with beaming smiles. Han's mother had a satisfied smile on her face, as if her child had finally accomplished something. Han Chunyan stepped forward and took Cai Xiaoli's hand, but Cai Xiaoli was feeling unwell and walked with a particularly awkward gait.

Han Chunyan quickly helped Cai Xiaoli sit down and said happily, "Xiaoli, from now on we're family, don't be so reserved."

Han Chunming felt a headache coming on as he listened to his second sister's words. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word. After all, he had just seen the red stain on the bed sheet, and he had already taken such a big advantage of her.

Han's mother looked at Han Chunming, who was standing there in a daze, and said, "Chunming, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and sit down."

Han Chunming looked at his mother and slowly sat down.

Han's mother looked at Han Chunming with satisfaction and said, "Chunming, let's discuss a good day later and finalize your marriage with Xiaoli."

Upon hearing this, Han Chunming was so startled that he stood up and exclaimed, "Huh?"

Han's mother looked at Han Chunming as he stood up and said, "What are you 'huh' about? You brat, doing this kind of thing in broad daylight, don't you know any shame?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoli blushed deeply. Han Chunyan quickly coughed and gave her mother a meaningful look. Han's mother then realized she had misspoke and hurriedly said, "I...I didn't mean that, Xiaoli, please don't misunderstand."

Cai Xiaoli looked at Han's mother, lowered her head shyly, and said, "Auntie, I'll do whatever you say."

Looking at Cai Xiaoli, Han's mother became more and more satisfied, and said, "Good child, good child. Auntie will definitely pick a good day for you two to welcome you into the family in a grand and glorious way."

Han Chunming looked at his mother and said, "Mom, we're not what you think we are."

Hearing Han Chunming say this, Han Chunyan, who was standing nearby, immediately retorted angrily, "What do you mean it's not what we think? You two are already together, and you're still saying things like that? If you dare to be irresponsible towards Cai Xiaoli, I'll break your legs."

Han Chunming frowned even more deeply as he listened to his second sister's words.

At this moment, Cai Xiaoli looked at Han Chunming's appearance and pretended to be aggrieved, crying, "Auntie, sister, if Chunming doesn't want to, I won't force him. I might as well just die."

Hearing this, Han's mother was startled and quickly comforted her, "Xiaoli, Xiaoli, don't be afraid. Auntie will stand up for you. Don't worry, if Chunming dares not to marry you, I'll pretend he's not my son and kick him out."

Han Chunyan, standing to the side, looked at Han Chunming, reached out and slapped him, saying, "Chunming, hurry up and say something. Do you really want to see Xiaoli die?"

Looking at everything before him, Han Chunming was incredibly agitated. He had no idea how things had gotten to this point with Cai Xiaoli; he'd somehow ended up like this. Seeing the sharp looks in his mother's and second sister's eyes, Han Chunming could only say, "I do. I do want to marry you."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoli immediately stopped crying.

Looking at the two of them, Han's mother smiled and said, "That's more like it. Xiaoli, look, he said he'll marry you, are you relieved now?"

Cai Xiaoli nodded slightly.

Han Chunyan watched all this and said with a smile, "Mom, let Xiaoli's parents and our family discuss Chunming and his wife's wedding tomorrow. By the way, I'll go talk to Zhang Lei about Chunming's 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a specific type of cigarette, a sewing machine, and a radio).

Upon hearing this, Han's mother happily said, "Good, good, good."

Then he looked at Cai Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, don't worry, when you two get married, I will definitely make sure you don't suffer any losses. I will provide you with all the necessary amenities."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoli quickly said, "Auntie, no need. I like Han Chunming as a person; I don't care about the things."

Hearing Cai Xiaoli's words, Han's mother happily said, "Good child, good child."

Then he looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, look at Xiaoli, what a wonderful girl she is. If you marry her, our Han family will be incredibly lucky."

Soon, the group found themselves chatting more and more congenially. Seeing that it was getting late, Han Chunyan said, "Mom, I'll head back now. You two stay and chat."

Hearing that Han Chunyan wanted to go back, Cai Xiaoli also wanted to stand up and leave. Han's mother, seeing Cai Xiaoli's unsteady gait, said, "Xiaoli, you're not feeling well, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Hearing Han's mother's words, Cai Xiaoli gasped softly and muttered, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Han's mother said, "What's wrong with this? We're all family."

After saying that, Han's mother looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, what are you standing there for? Take Xiaoli inside."

Han Chunming reluctantly led Cai Xiaoli into the house.

Cai Xiaoli looked at Han Chunming happily and said, "Chunming, I..."

Han Chunming, seeing Cai Xiaoli's hesitant expression, said, "Don't worry, I, Han Chunming, am a man of my word. If I say I'll marry you, I will. But you know, I have feelings for Su Meng..."

Cai Xiaoli looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, I know what you mean. Don't worry, after I marry you, I will take good care of you, take care of our mother, and manage this household well. As for Su Meng, what happened before is in the past. After we get married, I hope you will not mention Su Meng in front of me again."

Han Chunming frowned, unsure of what to say. The two sat on the bed until very late.

Cai Xiaoli looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, it's time to rest."

Meanwhile, back home, Han Chunyan told Zhang Lei about Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli. Zhang Lei was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth; he never expected Han Chunming to be with Cai Xiaoli like that. He had originally planned for Han Chunming to take advantage of Su Meng's father's illness to marry Su Meng.

Zhang Lei could only smile awkwardly and, looking at the delighted Han Chunyan, asked, "Do you still need me to go tomorrow?"

Han Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "You should go with me. You can give me some advice later."

Zhang Lei thought to himself that he really had to go and see; this sudden turn of events almost strained his back.

Han Chunyan lay in Zhang Lei's arms and said with a smile, "Honey, the three turns and one sound that I prepared for Chunming, I didn't expect to use them so soon."

Zhang Lei patted Han Chunyan on the shoulder: "I'll definitely buy the best and send it to Chunming."
