Wang Yi's family, specifically Jin Mang and Lee Li, press Chen Yin about owning a house before marriage. Chen Yin promises to buy a new house and put it in Wang Yi's name in the future, intending to invest in his future real estate business instead of buying an old property now. Wang Yi's parents remain silent, allowing Jin Mang and Lee Li to voice the family's demands about housing and the traditional "three big items."

"In-laws," Aunt Chen quickly said, "how about this, let’s transfer the house to Little Yi’s name, I don’t mind."

"Mom." Chen Yin looked at her.

All these years, there have been endless problems at home. His sister’s disappearance nearly crushed her before, and later when his father had an accident, it almost brought the family down again.

It was always his mother who held the family together. How could he bring himself to take that house from her name at a time like this?

"Aunt Chen, that’s not necessary. We can just live together," Wang Yi quickly added.

She shot an annoyed glance at her aunt.

This was really too much.

Mother Wang spoke up at this moment.

"Actually, you know, Chen Yin’s mother, it’s not that I’m being picky, but that house you’re living in is too small. For now, Little Yi moving in isn’t a problem, but what about when they have kids? There won’t be enough space. Doesn’t that house only have two rooms? I heard that the room Chen Yin stays in is small, with just a single bed..."

"Once they’re married, of course, they’ll have the bigger room. I’ll swap with them, and we’ll buy new furniture, a double bed, and everything will be set up. You don’t need to worry," Aunt Chen said urgently.

"Even if you give them that room, it still won’t be enough space when they have kids. So, haven’t you planned to buy a new house?"

"We plan to buy one. I’ve already thought it over. We’ll probably buy it in about two years," Chen Yin said.

Lady Wang frowned and said, "In two years? Are you planning to have children only after that?"

"Mom, even if we have children, when they’re small, they’ll sleep with us. How is there not enough space? Kids don’t need their own room until they’re a bit older."

Wang Yi was really furious inside.

Although she knew her parents meant well, since they had agreed to her marrying Chen Yin, shouldn’t the discussion be about how they can actually live well together, how they can be happy?

By continuously putting pressure on the Chen Family, what kind of terms could even be negotiated?

Besides, she really respected Mother Chen too. It’s hard enough for a woman, and she wanted to get along well with her future mother-in-law. What was the point of making her life difficult?

If they had conditions to bring up, couldn’t they be discussed in a calm and reasonable manner?

Why maintain this air of superiority, as if talking to them was doing them a favor?

Moreover, from what Wang Yi knew, Chen Yin’s financial situation was actually not bad.

Over the years, he’d made some money in business; he just didn’t have high demands for housing and felt there was no need to buy another since he could still live with his mother. He’d bought a car and owned a company; he was far from being poor.

But to the Wang Family, without a secure "iron rice bowl" job, it was as if he was unemployed, just barely getting by in society.

Hadn’t they been saying he didn’t have a proper job just now?

How was it that he didn’t have a proper job?

Does doing business not count as a proper job?

"You young ones just don’t understand because you haven’t been parents. If you have kids later, and the environment is bad, it’ll be really uncomfortable," Mother Wang said.

"The Chen Family’s environment isn’t bad. Aunt Chen has kept the house very clean and tidy. How is the environment not good?"
