It's true that Qiao Jian is usually a bit carefree, but he's not stupid!

As soon as his mother-in-law came out with her bizarre logic, Qiao Jian immediately grasped the key point.

When Xiaoli saw her mother give in, she immediately burst into tears. "Dajian, my brother-in-law is capable. This apartment is nothing to him! If he truly cares for my sister, he'll definitely give it to us. Go and talk to him!"

The saying goes that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. With just a tearful plea, anyone with a weak will would surely be swayed.

Unfortunately, Qiao Jian was a rough and uncouth man who didn't know how to cherish women at all.

His eyebrows shot up, and he sneered, "Tang Xiaoli! This is all my family's wealth is! Marry me if you want, or I won't force you if you don't!"

Tang Xiaoli was so upset by his heartless words that she forgot to shed tears for a moment.

Ignoring his mother-in-law's attempts to persuade him, Qiao Jian angrily lifted the pole and went home.

His trip to the Tang family was actually to pick up Tang Xiaoli to attend Qiao Xiaohuan's wedding.

Qiao Xiaohuan was also thinking about this. When she saw her younger brother come back alone, her heart skipped a beat. She gave a few perfunctory words to the girl who came to deliver the money, saw her off, and immediately went to find Qiao Jian.

When she arrived, she overheard Qiao Jian telling his mother about the Tang family in detail.

The more I listened, the angrier I got.

She lifted the curtain to come in, but stopped as soon as she reached out her hand.

She wanted to hear what her mother and brother thought about Tang Xiaoli's unreasonable request, so she stopped and stood quietly outside the curtain, listening intently to what was happening inside.

At this moment, Qiao's mother calmly asked her son, "Xiaoli and her mother both think this way. After she's married into the family, things won't be peaceful. With her competitive nature, she'll definitely compare herself to your sister in everything."

But what are your sister's family's capabilities, and what are yours? How can you compare them?

Our family is just an ordinary family, and we just want to marry an honest and virtuous wife to live a simple life.

If she's after your sister, then our family really can't afford to have such a daughter-in-law.

Your father and I still have our pride!

If they can't do it, they'll have their daughter exploit them to support their son.

Besides, if our family keeps asking your sister for money and things, how will she face your brother-in-law?

Qiao Xiaohuan listened to her mother's words from outside and was deeply moved. Her eyes welled up and tears streamed down her face.

Just then, Qiao Jian said in a muffled voice, "I know, Mom. Tang Xiaoli usually seems quite virtuous and honest, but I didn't expect her true colors to show when trouble comes."

I already told them when I came that if she wanted to get married, she could, and if not, that was fine too. Anyway, our wedding house is a brick house.

Mrs. Qiao sighed, "That's the only way. Your sister's wedding is just around the corner, let's get the wedding settled first."

Qiao Jian simply hummed in agreement.

After the conversation between the mother and son came to an end, Qiao Xiaohuan walked in.

"Mother, Dajian, I heard what you just said."

As she spoke, Qiao Xiaohuan let out a cold laugh.

"Luckily, you're our only son. She's always trying to outdo me! If we had a sister-in-law, she'd turn the house upside down!"

Qiao Jian's face flushed with shame.

"Dajian, after I get married, I'll talk to your brother-in-law and ask you to work at his company."

In the future, I'll definitely be able to afford apartments and such.

However, you should think carefully about whether or not you want to marry Tang Xiaoli.

Qiao Xiaohuan then spoke solemnly to Qiao Jian.

Qiao's mother looked troubled. "Xiao Huan, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to make such a request to your son-in-law so soon after your marriage?"

Qiao Jian quickly added, "That's right! Sister, don't tell your brother-in-law these things. I'm busy farming now, and I can earn a good amount of money by going out to work when I'm free."

Qiao Xiaohuan smiled warmly, "Your brother-in-law has been saying for a long time that he would introduce you to the company!"

Hearing that it was Zhou Hongsong who brought it up, the Qiao family mother and son stopped saying anything more.

Over the next two days, the family will be hosting a banquet to entertain relatives and friends from the Qiao family's side.

Everyone was so busy that they didn't have time to think about Tang Xiaoli.

The day before Qiao Xiaohuan's wedding, Tang Xiaoli and her parents still shamelessly showed up at the door.

Qiao's parents showed no unusual expression, but they were not as enthusiastic as usual, and received them in a rather indifferent manner.

Tang Xiaoli found Qiao Jian, who was busy at work, and pulled him aside, scolding him with a resentful look, "You're really something! You just left like that without even coming to pick me up!"

Qiao Jian had been thinking a lot these past two days, and seeing her feigning ignorance and anger, he didn't feel much anymore.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

"Who said I wasn't coming?"

Tang Xiaoli wanted to say something to Qiao Jian, but just then, the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out outside.

The car engine was also very loud.

Someone shouted, "The new son-in-law is here to pick up the bride! Quick, block the door!"

The people in the courtyard swarmed to the gate and shut it tightly.

The young man from the Qiao family shouted loudly, "Give out red envelopes!"

"Yes! Send red envelopes!"

"No red envelopes, no entry!"

Hahaha~

Zhou Hongsong was wearing a suit specially made for him by Wang Xing'er, shiny leather shoes, and a bouquet of flowers.

Of course, it was Li Xiangdong who suggested that he take this bouquet, which was entirely in imitation of later customs.

Today, Li Guoqing, Li Jiabao, Li Xiangjie, Zhao Xiaojun, Guo Yuxi, Li Xiangchao, and others came to pick up the bride.

There were at least five jeeps outside.

The lead car was Li Xiangdong's Santana.

Six large trucks, each adorned with a big red flower on its hood, looked incredibly impressive and festive.

Hearing the person inside asking for a red envelope, Zhou Hongsong quickly reached his hand behind him.

Li Guoqing took out a handful of red envelopes wrapped in red paper from his pocket and handed them to him. Inside were one-mao, two-mao, and five-mao banknotes.

Zhou Hongsong waved his hand and threw a handful of red envelopes over the door into the yard.

I've never seen anyone so generous!

Everyone rushed forward, scrambling to grab the red envelopes that were raining down from the sky.

"Hey, don't push, don't push, this is my red envelope."

"Wow, the new son-in-law is quite generous! There's a fifty-cent coin inside!"

"Mine! Mine! I managed to snag over two yuan!"

"..."

Hearing the constant laughter inside, Zhou Hongsong shouted, "Is that enough?! Open the door!"

The people in the courtyard shouted in unison, "Not enough! Not enough! We want more red envelopes!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Hongsong took another handful of red envelopes from Li Xiangdong's arms and scattered them into the yard.

This was repeated six times, and everyone in the yard received a lot of red envelopes.

Mrs. Qiao was secretly amazed, thinking to herself, "How could this silly and generous son-in-law give out so many red envelopes!"

How much money is being wasted!
