He Chunru took a sip of the warm glutinous rice wine soup and looked at his eldest son, "Youtao, what do you say?"
Gu Youtao scratched his head, "Mom, I know 688 yuan is a bit much. , Xiaoqin’s family also loves their daughter. Why don’t we discuss it carefully?”
He Chunru frowned, looking disappointed with his son, “Your marriage was discussed too suddenly and moved too quickly. It’s my opinion. If we get along well and are compatible in life and work, we can talk about marriage.”
“What does my mother-in-law mean?” The aunt's face changed drastically, "Are you teaching your son to start chaos and give up?"
When Gu Xiang heard this, he looked at Gu Youtao with sharp eyes, "You kid touched another girl?"
< br>
Gu Youtao was so frightened by his father's glare that he hurriedly clarified, "Dad, don't talk nonsense. Neither the little piano player nor I have done anything. No matter how courageous your son is, I don't dare to do anything random!"
Gu Xiang snorted coldly and issued a warning. Said: "Hmph! If you dare to go too far before you can prove it, I will knock your legs off!"
He Chunru was so disgusted by the mother and daughter today that she felt angry. The words that come out of my mouth don't sound so nice anymore.
"Sister Niu, you should have heard it. My Youtao did not mess around. The two of them are still in a relationship. There is no legal requirement for this relationship, and the partner must get married. ?"
"Yes, what you just said about "beginning to end" shocked me. I'm afraid you don't know the meaning of this idiom. I will explain it to you literally. Let’s take a moment.”
Gu Xiang was not in a good mood today. He coughed twice and continued: "Chaos in the beginning and abandonment in the end means that the relationship was a bit chaotic from the beginning, and the final result is the fate of being abandoned. Sister Niu, I think Let me ask you, was there a conspiracy between your daughter and my boy from the beginning? "
Gu Xiang's words were so lethal that Aunt Niu didn't know how to answer.
She didn’t even have a primary school education and was completely illiterate.
What the illiterate is most afraid of is intellectuals giving her lectures and reasoning. Doesn’t this completely exploit her shortcomings?
If it was a shrew who scolded the street, she would not be afraid at all.
"How is that possible!" Niu Xiaoqin couldn't sit still.
She smiled flatteringly and explained to everyone: "Youtao and I were introduced to each other by colleagues, and it was a normal relationship. I didn't know about your family's situation before, so how could I have calculated against you from the beginning? Home?”
Aunt Niu regained some sense, “Yes, Xiaoqin. I met Youtao through a colleague. If I hadn’t heard that Youtao was a college student and had a good personality, I wouldn’t have worried that my daughter would be dating someone else today, but I didn’t want it to end like this.”
Originally I was thinking about marrying a wife, and wanted to take care of my family. But I don't want to almost steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Wang Suzhen greeted them to dinner with a smile: "We are guests. Since we can't agree on things today, let's just concentrate on eating. Let's see how the two young people get along with each other later."
The mother and daughter of the Niu family faced off against the Gu family. Even if they were unwilling to give in, Aunt Niu and Niu Xiaoqin could only swallow their breath and cease their activities for the time being.
After dinner, Gu Youtao went out to see off Niu's mother and daughter.
As soon as she left the yard of Gu's villa, Niu Xiaoqin couldn't wait to face Gu Youtao with a cold face: "When we first talked, you told me that your family got along well. Today my mother and I have seen it. , your family doesn’t like me.”
Aunt Niu nodded and agreed: “Yes, I wanted to discuss the engagement, but I didn’t want to be left in the cold. Wait. Let me see, after tonight, you guys should not meet each other again. Let’s end it here.”
Gu Youhui immediately became anxious when he was abandoned by his partner for the first time. "Auntie, Xiaoqin, my mother and the others don't disagree with our relationship. It's just that our family can't afford that much bride price for the time being, so let's wait and see what happens."
Aunt Niu and Niu Xiaoqin looked at each other and fell silent.
Seeing their silence, Gu Youtao didn't know what they meant. He thought about it and gritted his teeth and said, "If you are really anxious to settle the marriage, why not just deduct the bride price from my salary."
Aunt Niu glanced at Gu Youtao speechlessly, "I'm afraid you're stupid because of reading!"
As she said that, she pointed at herself and Niu Xiaoqin and asked: "Do you think we care? The one with a bride price of 688 yuan? The reason why we raised the bride price to 688 yuan is to put more money into your pocket."
"You are still young and don't know the importance of money. Pepsi, I want so much bride price because I want to get more money from your parents. If you really become a couple in the future, how many things can you solve with this 688 yuan? "
Gu Youtao smiled sheepishly: "I have a job now, and my salary can support my wife and children. Besides, not all my parents' money will be given to me in the future. Now your request is too high, my parents You just won’t get engaged for us. How long do you think we have to wait?”
Aunt Niu smiled and shook her head, “You are still too young. Things are too simple. Your parents are not your son. You have a brother and a sister. You are stupid if you don’t take advantage of your marriage to get more money from them! And your share?"
Gu Youtao: "."
When he gets married, naturally his parents will no longer care about him.
But when it comes to saying that none of their money will belong to him in the future, Gu Youtao expressed his doubts.
Aunt Niu persuaded her earnestly: "Children who cry will have milk to drink. Don't think too much. You are right to listen to Auntie. If I marry my only daughter to you, will I still harm you? We are parents. Naturally hope My children will live a better life."
Niu Xiaoqin stamped her feet angrily, "Mom, you are thinking so hard about our future life, but others don't appreciate it at all. We don't have a future anymore. Don't do that. Worrying here is a waste of emotions."
Gu Youtao coaxed in a low voice: "Xiaoqin, don't break up in a hurry. I made our matter too sudden and didn't give my parents a buffer period. In the following days, I will talk about your goodness in front of them every day. After they understand your goodness, they will definitely like you."
Niu Xiaoqin snorted and turned her head to the side. Ignore him.
Aunt Niu patted his arm, with a look of helplessness on her face: "We will go back ourselves, so don't send us away, go back first."
Gu Youtao wanted to say something else, but the Niu family's mother and daughter no longer gave him a chance. The two of them smiled at the guard and walked out of the compound gate.
When the Niu family's mother and daughter walked some distance away, Niu Xiaoqin looked back at the gate of the compound, the ambition in her eyes no longer hidden.
"Mom, we agreed to add two hundred betrothal fees after three ringings and one ringing. Why did you temporarily increase the price? Just because you temporarily increased the price, all our plans were ruined."
< br>"I think that boy Youtao has given up on you. Collapse, what are you worried about?" Aunt Niu said angrily: "Just wait, parents can't help their children, and they will eventually compromise."
Niu Xiaoqin was still doubtful and asked uneasily: "Are you sure? ?”
Aunt Niu nodded: "I'm sure! I don't understand why you have to choose that guy. That guy looks a bit like a nerd to me, not smart at all.
And, in my opinion, they don't have many families. When it comes to money, whoever gets paid is better than the other? It’s just a little bit, but it’s like 250,000 yuan. It’s annoying to watch.”
“What do you know! Our family is now at the bottom of society and wants to change through hard work. My own social class is impossible in this life " Niu Xiaoqin raised her head slightly, looked in the direction of the courtyard and continued: "It will be different if I marry Gu Youtao. The children I will give birth to in the future will be born in the upper class, and the people I usually interact with will be at the leadership level. Even the friends around me are "Second and third generations of officials."
Aunt Niu frowned slightly and said with some disapproval: "What does it matter? What if the person you are contacting is a leader? You are still a mess. Not on the wall.”
"Mom, you're wrong. Mud can't hold up the wall. It's only for those who don't have the ability or connections. If someone has the ability, they can just throw the mud on the wall violently, making it impossible for you to dig it off even if you want to. . And for those who are incompetent, even if you want to throw him up, you don't have the strength to lift him up."
Niu Xiaoqin has had enough of being at the bottom, and the couple quarrels over trivial matters every day.
Such as her parents.
She has long had enough of this life.
Every day I wake up early and work hard at night just for the few taels of silver.
After working hard all his life, he also had to worry about his son's job and marriage.
Aunt Niu thought that the marriage was really done and would only bring benefits to her family, so she didn’t want to persuade her.
But she had to pour some cold water on her, "The girl's family should know how to be more reserved and don't shave your head and pick a hot head. I don't think their family cares about you."
Niu Xiaoqin's heart One gag, ".No Don’t worry about me! His little aunt is from the countryside. I am a city person and I can’t compare to her.”
At the same time, the Gu family saw Gu Youtao going to see off guests, and they were also there. Talk about the cow family.
Seeing that there was no outsider in the house, He Chunru had to remind Gu Xiang, "In the future, if the boss asks you to borrow money, don't lend it to him. This girl can't do it today. Youtao is the eldest grandson of our Gu family. If you find such a shallow-sighted person, things for our big room It’s over.”
Gu Xiang was unconvinced, “Don’t talk about me, take care of yourself first. Don’t listen to that kid’s misfortune, and your money will be taken away by him.” >
He Chunru glanced at sitting on the sofa and tilted her head Gu Youhui, a man with two legs, said: "I will still give the share that should be given, but if there is more, I will not have it. He is not the only son of ours, we also have Youhui and my daughter."
Gu Youhui heard the mention He shook his head and said, "Mom , don’t think about me. You can save it yourself, and I will earn the bride price myself.”
“That’s right, you have the guts!” Gu Changsheng laughed. Give him a thumbs up.
Men don't have to live apart from the family. A man with integrity and ability can earn a share of the family business without worrying about his parents' property.
Gu Youhui smiled proudly, looking calm and calm on the surface.
Wang Suzhen asked Li Ling, "What do you think of that girl?"
Li Ling thought about it and thought about what if her daughter-in-law was such a duplicitous person. , I couldn't help but shiver all over.
“I think Youtao is still young and has only been working for half a year, so there is no need to rush to find a partner. A family like ours is really not afraid of not finding a partner.”
Of course, they would not express their opinions in front of Gu Youtao. After all, they can't interfere too much in other people's marriages.
Wang Suzhen nodded after listening.
Then, she asked Lin Shu: "Where are you, maknae? What do you think?"
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the frowning sister-in-law, and smiled: " Your life partner is the most important thing in your life. Of course, you need to investigate clearly and examine it for a period of time. Otherwise, you will find the wrong person and it will be painful. For a lifetime. The most important thing is that when you have children in the future, the ones who will suffer the most will be the children."
After hearing the opinions of his two siblings, Gu Xiang decided directly: "Daughter-in-law, let me see. Let's not give the boss any money. We will express our opinions directly when he comes back
If he insists on getting married, he can save his own money to get married. Anyway, as long as she marries a wife we are not satisfied with, we don’t care. ”
How cruel!
Gu Youhui secretly gave his old father a thumbs up, so decisive!
He cut off his eldest brother’s money directly.
However, , Gu Youtao is already working. If he is really brave, it is not impossible to make money and marry a wife by himself
Can Gu Youtao, the nerd, do it?
"Youhui, if your brother asks you to borrow money, you can't agree to it." After saying that, Gu Xiang didn't forget to threaten him: "If I find out that you lent him money, I will lose the money today." The woman is married, let’s see if I don’t break your legs!”
When Gu Youtao came back, he was greeted by everyone’s attention as soon as he entered the door.
He looked down at his clothes. He was neat and tidy. I touched the corner of my mouth again, but there was no rice grains on it?
“Why are you all looking at me like this?”
Everyone sitting in the living room turned to look at Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang received everyone's attention, pursed his lower lip, and waved to Gu Youtao, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Gu Youtao changed into a pair of slippers and walked over. , "Dad, just ask if you have anything."
"What do you think of Comrade Niu?" Gu Xiang saw the smile on his eldest son's face when he mentioned Niu Xiaoqin. , my heart skipped a beat.
"Before you speak, let me tell you what we think." Gu Xiang was afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear from this kid, so he hurriedly expressed their attitude first.
"Through today's contact, we found that Comrade Niu is not suitable for you. In other words, he is not suitable to be our wife. Your mother and I do not agree with you and her."
Gu Youtao Yi Hearing that her parents disagreed, she suddenly became excited, "Xiaoqin and I are sincerely dating, why do you disagree? Besides, Xiaoqin is such a good girl, do you think I can do it in the future?" Find a better girl than her?"
Gu Xiang waved his hand, "Don't be excited, we are making a statement to prepare you. I don't want to care about whether you still have a relationship with her. . But if you insist on marrying her, your mother and I will not pay a penny. You can figure it out yourself."
In anger, Gu Youtao was about to yell, I am responsible for myself!
But before he could say anything, Gu Xiang added: "Also, if you marry her, please take her to live outside, and don't come back to live in the compound. ”
When Gu Youtao heard that he was going to be kicked out, he was dumbfounded! (End of this chapter)
