Chapter 158 Kicking the Cotton

"Mom, even the country encourages gay men to get married later. You really don't have to rush."

Lin Xiangdong comforted him: "In two years, when the family situation improves, it will be easier to find a suitable one."

Forget about food and clothing. Before Hu Meili retired, they could just barely keep from starving. It was only after Lin Xiangnan invested some money in Hu Meili that the family's situation gradually improved.

Lin Xiangdong had to compensate his ex-wife with money, and the bride price for his new wife was another amount of money. Although Hu Meili could provide some financial support, it was still a huge loss for the family.

Hu Meili was not a strong-willed person to begin with, and after being persuaded by her eldest son, her attitude softened a little.

"It's not impossible to get married later. But can you please stay away from those women? As a mother, I'm scared."

In this era, having many romantic relationships is not a virtue; it only proves that the person has problems with his or her work style.

Hu Meili taught her: "Don't talk to lesbians if you have nothing to do, especially single ones. Stay away from them."

"I didn't take the initiative to talk to them. They came to talk to me about serious matters, I couldn't just run away." Lin Xiangdong complained, "Every time I talked to female comrades, I stayed eight feet away from them. Isn't that enough?"

Hu Meili said angrily, "That's not enough! Next time you see a woman, run away from me."

That being said, it is impossible for Lin Xiangdong to not meet with lesbians. If he runs away when his colleagues and neighbors come to him to talk about something, it would be impolite.

However, Lin Xiangdong still followed Hu Meili's words and said, "Then next time I see them from a distance, I will turn around earlier."

"That's how it should be." Hu Meili was satisfied now.

After thinking for a while, Hu Meili added, "Especially those companies that rejected you this time, stay away from them."

It's really embarrassing to be too self-indulgent and then be rejected.

But after being rejected, Hu Meili felt relieved. The fact that they couldn't even look at each other proved that Lin Xiangdong and those girls really had no personal relationship.

If those girls really liked him, they would definitely make a fuss at home. They would not be unable to take even the first step and would not even give Lin Xiangdong a chance to explain.

She had been busy with Lin Xiangdong's affairs for several days and was about to let it go, but Zhou Kangmei got the news and came to her in person.

Lin Xiangnan and several of his cousins ​​were playing with spinning tops outside. When they heard that she was coming, Lin Xiangnan immediately put down the top and went home to join in the fun.

"Aunt Hu, I heard that you came back from other places, so I came here specially to wish you a happy New Year." Zhou Kangmei was very polite to Hu Meili.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month had not yet passed, so it was barely acceptable to say that he was visiting for the New Year. But the two families were not related, and Zhou Kangmei's purpose for visiting this time was too obvious.

"Just come if you want to. What gift do you want to bring?" Hu Meili thought the gift Zhou Kangmei gave was very good, but she was not willing to sell her son.

"It's my duty. At the end of the year, my father went in person to visit the old comrades who had retired with honor. You were not there at that time, so I came to see you on behalf of my father." When it comes to speaking official language, Zhou Kangmei also has his own set of official language.

But Hu Meili just hates those people who talk in official language.

Seeing that Hu Meili was smiling dryly and not talking enthusiastically, Zhou Kangmei didn't say much. He just gave a gift, said hello, and left.

The next day, an old colleague from the factory came to Hu Meili to reminisce about the past.

"I heard that you are arranging a marriage for your eldest son recently?"

The old colleague said angrily: "You have been with your daughter for too long. You don't know that Zhou Kangmei, the daughter of Director Zhou, must have feelings for your Xiaodong. Go find her."

"Don't talk nonsense. I have watched Kang Mei grow up. She is so well-endowed, how could she fall for Xiao Dong?"

Hu Meili knew what was going on, but she declined.

She said helplessly: "The Zhou family is so well off that our family can't even hope to marry them. I just hope my son can marry an ordinary girl and live an honest life with her."

"Your Xiaodong is not smart, why don't you be smart too?"

"No way. The two families are too different. It's not suitable."

After the old colleague left, Lin Xiangnan sighed to Hu Meili, "Mom, if I were to choose according to your standards, I'm afraid my brother would be single for the rest of his life."

"Pah, pah, pah, you crow mouth, please stop talking nonsense."

"That's right. In my brother's situation, he usually can't get past his mother-in-law and father-in-law. Those who can get past their parents are all spoiled children. Girls like this usually come from well-off families."

Lin Xiangnan curled his lips and said, "You don't like this."

Hu Meili's standards are actually very normal. It only takes an ordinary working-class family. The girl must have at least an elementary school education and it would be best if she has a job, but it's also OK if she doesn't.

If Lin Xiangdong had never been to the countryside and had never held a wedding banquet there, he would have found someone like this, who was a perfect match for him, because her family was also an ordinary working-class family.

But Lin Xiangdong's previous experience was really a huge deduction, which made people of the same level as his family unhappy.

Those who are willing to marry into their family are either those whom Hu Meili dislikes or those whom Hu Meili thinks are out of her reach.

As a mother-in-law, Hu Meili doesn't want to be inferior to her future daughter-in-law.

Lin Xiangnan didn't quite understand Hu Meili's inexplicable self-esteem.

"You said Zhou Kangmei is strong-willed and has a bad temper, but I think she is quite polite to us. My eldest brother has a good temper to begin with, and if he marries a gentle woman, then we will be a family of cotton. Flicking cotton, fluffing cotton~~ Half a pound of cotton becomes eight ounces and eight centimeters~~"

At the end of the speech, Lin Xiangnan even hummed, and then silently covered his mouth under Hu Meili's fiery gaze.

"No more playing, no more playing."

"I really want to beat you up on behalf of your elder brother. You're still playing with cotton. I'll hit your head a few times and make it pop." Hu Meili stretched out her hand and gestured, but didn't really do anything.

Lin Xiangnan was fearless. "You want to? I want to marry the factory director's daughter for my eldest brother. If we really get married, I can just lie down and hug her thighs, and I don't have to struggle for the rest of my life."

This is Lin Xiangnan’s ideal life.

She relied on her parents in her previous life, and in this life she relies on the inheritance from her previous life.

I don’t know whether others are happy or not when they spend the money they earned through hard work and effort, but she is quite happy to get it without any effort.

Lin Xiangnan advised with his experience: "This bowl of soft rice is already in front of you, why not just eat it."

"Get out. Stop giving me bad advice." It's not nice to be a gigolo, and Hu Meili didn't want to hear it.

"If I didn't really consider my eldest brother my own, I wouldn't care if he was just a gigolo. I'd rather marry someone more honest and we could make cotton balls together..."

"Hiss~ If you say cotton again, I'm going to take action!" Hu Meili warned with a feather duster.

"Hehe, I'll shut up. Mom, you kicked me, but it was like kicking cotton~"

Lin Xiangnan said something sarcastic and then ran away.
