The Chen family’s discussion that night is omitted here.

The next day, Grandma Chen learned the Chen family's attitude.

"400 yuan, a bicycle ticket, and a watch for Meimei, I agree to everything." Mother Chen said calmly.

"But I have one condition. I'll let Chen Liang take over my position. As for his father's job, I'll give it to whichever of my two sons is filial and takes care of him in his old age."

Grandma Chen was ready for a tug-of-war, but she was still shocked by Chen Ma's generosity:

"You're so generous in marrying a wife. Luckily, Chen Liang is only 14 years old. Don't worry, you can still save up for a wife. But with your conditions, you should change your words. I'll teach you..."

Since Mother Chen agreed to the conditions, she naturally chose to visit on Sunday together with Grandma Chen, Father Chen, and Chen Wei.

The adults from both families were in a friendly mood at the table. After all, since Aunt Chen appeared in the Xiang family, it meant that the biggest conflict over the betrothal gift had been resolved.

Chen Ma was straightforward and didn't want to beat around the bush. "Here's 400 yuan, a bicycle ticket, and a watch ticket. I'm worried Meimei won't like the style of the watch if she buys it. Meimei will choose it later, and Dawei will pay after her."

The money and bills were placed in an exquisite wooden box on the table. The lid was opened and everyone could see them at a glance.

Zhang Jidi didn't expect the Chen family to be so generous that they even brought extra bicycle tickets. She thought the watch was just a nice gift, and the smile on her face was sincere.

"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight. I'll prepare some delicious dishes for my mother-in-law to taste."

As for my daughter cooking, that is impossible. A daughter who is about to get married is a delicate guest, and it is not okay for her to cook for the man's family at her parents' home.

Mother Chen pushed the jewelry box to Zhang Jidi and said, "I'm a straightforward person and won't talk nonsense. Her brother-in-law will take over my job when the time comes. As for Old Chen's job, whoever of his two brothers takes it over will be filial to him. Is that okay?"

Bullshit!

Although Chen Wei and Xiang Meimei are both regular employees and don't need Chen's father's job, to be fair, Chen's mother gave her job to Chen Xiaodi, so Chen's father's job should be left to Chen Wei!

Now, whoever is filial to her will be given the responsibility. Isn’t this forcing her family to make a statement?

Are you trying to annoy her? Zhang Jidi didn't expect his mother-in-law to do this, and the smile on his face froze.

As the matchmaker, Granny Chen immediately came out to make amends: "Mother-in-law, don't argue with my niece-in-law. She means that Meimei should be filial. In the future, the old couple will live a good life with Chen Wei, and Chen Wei's father's job will also belong to your Meimei."

"That's right, Meimei is filial. Then you can be filial to me for two years before leaving home. I think the engagement date should be arranged at the end of next year, and the wedding at the end of the year after that is perfect."

Feeling unhappy, Zhang Jidi immediately continued to speak, and the excuses he found were impeccable.

This seems like the talks are about to break down.

Xiang Meimei looked at Chen Wei, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness.

When Chen's mother brought up the issue of filial piety, Zhang Jidi immediately retorted that he would marry Meimei in two and a half years. By then, Chen Wei would be 21 years old, and if it didn't work out, he would be a bachelor at an older age.

The scene suddenly became cold.

Only Granny Chen, the matchmaker, could come out to smooth things over: "Mother-in-law, since we can sit together, it means that both families are quite satisfied. Let's each take a step back. We must announce the date in person in May next year and get married by the end of the year.

After all, Chen Wei's younger brother is unemployed, and his niece-in-law gave him the job to take over so that he wouldn't have to go to the countryside. I understand. So, when you go buy a watch, can you buy Meimei a piece of jewelry as an apology? "

For one sentence, she lost a piece of jewelry. Aunt Chen wanted to say something, but was afraid of losing more things, so she shut up under the glare of Grandma Chen.

Zhang Jidi naturally knew that it was overstepping her bounds to discuss who would get the job before Chen's father retired. As a mother-in-law, she had no right to interfere in other people's family affairs.

But thinking about the fact that the Chen family and their husbands' jobs all belonged to their youngest son, this was a full 1,600! Her beauty was all that was in front of her, and even if she bought the most expensive watch, it would only be 700 or 800.

Who feels comfortable about this?

She sat in the chair with a dark face and didn't say anything.

This was dissatisfaction. Xiang Meimei lost all restraint and whispered, "Mom, for the sake of the Chen family's apology..."

Zhang Jidi glared at his useless daughter: "Don't interrupt me! You have no right to speak when the adults are talking!"

But I also know that the Chen family is really sincere. If they can't offer anything else, will they really let their daughter go to the leader's house and marry an ugly man?

"Mother-in-law, my daughter is the eldest in the family. She is outstanding in everything and is the best at taking care of her younger siblings. She is also doing very well in the Propaganda Department.

So, I have no objection to you giving the job to Brother Chen, and I won't interfere with who your husband chooses to give the job to. After all, how can I, an outsider, have the nerve to say anything? I only have one request: that they apply for a house near the steel mill."

The decisive blow!

As soon as Zhang Jidi said this, Grandma Chen and Aunt Chen's faces turned green.

Living in the steel plant's staff quarters means he lives near the Xiang family. Isn't this like a live-in son-in-law?!

Chen's mother was the first to object: "Meimei's mother, please don't go too far! I have a good child at home, how can he come here..."

"Mom, I agree." Chen Wei interrupted his mother and said, "Auntie, I'll apply when I get back and live near the steel plant."

Mother Chen was so angry that she fell backwards. What kind of son is this? He might as well be a piece of barbecued pork!

Now that things have come to this, what else could Zhang Jidi be dissatisfied with?

He gave every penny of the betrothal gift to Xiang Meimei, bought her watches and jewelry, and even moved into the steel plant. Where can you find such a son-in-law?

Zhang Jidi immediately agreed to the marriage: "Okay, you two can go to the department store to buy some things. Here are the tickets. Do you have enough money?"

She took out the watch ticket and handed it to Chen Wei, asking with concern.
