Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Dowry
Even if their three children didn't perform well in their studies in the future, with economic support, they could still let the kids do what they wanted to do, or they could be self-reliant through this time-honored restaurant.
There is an old saying that if one generation sits idle, not striving or making an effort, then the next generation will have to endure the hardships in their place.
Han Xuewei's parents were making the longest-term plans, always considering what was best for the babies.
Although their considerations were long-term, this was simply the mindset of their generation, and there's nothing wrong with that!
With great excitement, Han Xuewei's mother asked, "Lin Yi, what are your thoughts about your wedding with Vivi?"
She had no other thoughts at the moment. Since Lin Yi had bought a villa specially for Vivi as their marriage house, and even asked them to live there, it closely aligned with the ideas of Han Xuewei's parents.
Lin Yi was simply the epitome of a good son-in-law! Everything he did satisfied them, and in the future, even if he and Vivi had an argument, they would certainly feel it was their daughter's fault!
After hearing this, Lin Yi just smiled faintly and seriously said, "I would still like to hear Vivi's thoughts on this matter. Vivi, do you have any requests for our wedding?"
Han Xuewei thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Well, I... just want to wear a beautiful wedding gown and take vows with you. I'm imagining all these romantic scenes. As for the rest... I'll just listen to you."
Lin Yi's parents exchanged glances and then asked, "We should hold a big banquet when the time comes. Mr. Han, what do you think?"
Han Xuewei's father thought for a moment and then said, "My mother watched Vivi grow up. She's old now and has trouble getting around, so she can't travel far. I would like to find a time to take Lin Yi, Vivi, and the three children to visit her, so she can enjoy the happiness of having four generations under one roof.
If possible, we should also invite and entertain all the friends and relatives from the hometown, as if celebrating with them."
Lin Yi's father pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Han, Mrs. Han, there's no need for such trouble. Since we're going to do it, let's have a big celebration. Your hometown is only about two hundred kilometers from here. We'll just hold the wedding banquet there, at least eighty tables I reckon!
The more lively, the better, since we're looking for festivity, we must properly entertain the relatives and friends."

Lin Yi's mother also added, "Yes, it's not that far away. The round trip is just about two hours. We could leave early in the morning, arrive there before nine, and still have plenty of time to prepare other things. We could even hold a big event, arrive at the hotel by noon, finish eating within two hours, then sit together and chat, have some tea, and be home before evening without any issue."
After hearing this, Han Xuewei's father shook his head, "If that's the case, then the day will be too rushed. Not only will nobody have a good rest, but the three babies definitely won't rest well either.
Just let you handle the wedding banquet, and there's no need for so much fuss on our side; we'll just casually entertain the relatives when we go back, and then let my old mother feel the lively atmosphere. Moreover, when you host the banquet, we from the bride's side won't bring too many guests, just a few tables of relatives we are close with is enough."
"Having a post-wedding banquet does seem a bit rushed, and there's no need to go through so much hassle."
Lin Yi's father said, "Since Mr. Han thinks this way, I will follow your wishes and do as you suggest! We could also take the babies to the hometown when they reach a hundred days old; it's not a bad time for a banquet then either."
As soon as Han Xuewei's mother heard this, she immediately agreed, "Mr. Han's idea is good too, it offsets the busy wedding days, so the schedule won't be so tight."
"Let's settle this matter for now. Mr. and Mrs. Han, do you have any specific requests regarding the dowry? Just let us know, and we will do our best to meet your expectations."
Han's mother said, "Oh dear, you're being too polite. We really have no particular demands regarding the betrothal gifts, it's all up to your family! No matter how much is given, we will have no objections."
"My husband and I are discussing the dowry for Vivi's wedding—whether to give her a car, or to pick out an apartment in the city. I'm not sure what Vivi would prefer."
Suddenly, Han Xuewei's father interjected, "Or a shop."
In fact, they knew that Lin Yi's family currently lacked nothing, so whatever they chose for the dowry didn't really matter.
Han Xuewei's mother gave him a look and said, "The shop is already included; it's the one you've been talking about every day. That shop will be left to Vivi no matter what."
Vivi's dad smiled and nodded, "My wife is right, the shop cannot be counted in it."
Something suddenly occurred to Han's mother, so she asked, "By the way, Lin Yi, the villa you bought in the city center, has it been furnished yet? Are you missing any appliances? Since you bought the house, the renovation costs should be covered by our family."
Lin Yi explained, "Mother-in-law, the house comes fully furnished, and it even has all the appliances. You don't need to worry about these things at all. Let's all go see the villa together in a few days, and if we feel like something is missing, we can buy it later."
Han Xuewei's mother nodded, "You're so thoughtful."
Then she turned her gaze to her daughter, "Vivi, regarding the dowry, what would you like to choose?"
Han Xuewei, seeing everyone's eyes on her, shrugged helplessly, "I… really don't have any particular demands, I don't know how to choose…"
She truly didn't know what to choose now, since she really wasn't lacking money. Lin Yi transferred a substantial amount to her every month, but she didn't have the habit of spending lavishly, so she was able to save quite a bit each month.
The wedding house had already been purchased by Lin Yi in advance, and the property deed was even in her name. Besides, there was also a car at home that belonged to her.
The total of all Han Xuewei's assets could now place her among the ranks of the wealthy in Xiangcheng. Therefore, she really didn't know what to choose at the moment.
It was then that Lin Yi suddenly said, "How about this, I'll make the decision for Vivi. When I took Vivi to buy a car, she chose one that was not too expensive, probably because she was reluctant to buy a very costly car!"
Han Xuewei's mother quickly said, "Then let's settle on a good car for the dowry! It's decided."
After hearing this, Han Xuewei immediately retorted, "It's several hundred thousand—how can you say that's not expensive? And I'm quite comfortable driving this car; I don't want to change it."
