Chapter 171 Aunt Hu Just Left

Today's soft rice is not as delicious as it will be in the future.

If a man marries into his wife's family decades later, people around him will think that he has climbed up the social ladder. If a man marries into his wife's family now, people will just assume that he is a coward and incompetent.

Even though the situation of Lin Xiangdong and Zhou Kangmei does not count as marrying into the wife's family, outsiders will still see it that way, and explanations will not be of much use.

Hu Meili said worriedly: "Even if your eldest brother gets a raise based on his own ability, outsiders will say it's Director Zhou's credit. Even if your eldest brother has a good temper, outsiders will say he can't be the head of the family and can't make decisions..."

As time goes on, there's no guarantee that Lin Xiangdong won't rebel.

Hu Meili doesn't want her son to have a chaotic marriage when he reaches middle age.

"It seems to make sense, otherwise there wouldn't be so many ungrateful sons-in-law. When those big guys picked their sons-in-law, they were not blind. It's impossible for them to let their daughters marry bad people. The biggest possibility is that those sons-in-law were all good when they were young, but later turned bad..." Lin Xiangnan sighed: "It's true that people's hearts are fickle."

"How could you say that about your elder brother? How could your elder brother be such an ungrateful person?"

Lin Xiangnan was speechless, "You were the one who brought this up first."

Don't think she can't hear it.

What Hu Meili meant was that she was afraid that Lin Xiangdong might become mentally abnormal in such an environment and cause trouble in the future.

Therefore, Hu Meili wanted to take the initiative and nip the danger in the bud.

Hu Meili just hopes that Lin Xiangdong can find an ordinary person and live a stable life. That would be enough.

Hu Meili was not polite when speaking to her own son, and she very bluntly listed the various disadvantages of marrying into the Zhou family in the letter.

Not to mention a relative like Director Zhou, even if Zhou Kangmei becomes powerful, Hu Meili may not be able to defeat him.

If they really get married and have conflicts, Lin Xiangdong will be bullied. Hu Meili can't help.

While writing, Hu Meili complained to Lin Xiangnan.

"Two years ago, there was a problem with a batch of products on the production line. Zhou Kangmei caught the team leader of that group and scolded him for more than ten minutes. A man of uncle generation was scolded by Zhou Kangmei so much that he dared not say a word."

"I'm going to have a quarrel with Zhou Kangmei. The outcome is unpredictable."

Lin Xiangnan's mouth twitched, "It's rare to see you feel inferior in this aspect."

"I'm just worried that your elder brother will be caught in the middle and it will be difficult for him."

Hu Meili quickly wrote a two-page letter and rushed to mail it, fearing that it would be too late and her son would have been seduced away by the little goblin.

But her words had little effect. When Lin Xiangdong wrote the letter, his psychological defenses had already been broken, and he had already made up his mind.

Hu Meili wrote to him to persuade him, and he explained them one by one.

After receiving Lin Xiangdong's reply again, Hu Meili couldn't even get angry, she just felt helpless.

"What is your elder brother talking about? Is it enough for us to like each other and understand each other now? Don't you care about the future?"

Lin Xiangdong no longer believes in forever.

Before he was sixteen, he thought that after graduation, he would definitely become a worker and become a person like his parents, but the policy suddenly changed, and he packed his bags and went to the countryside to become an educated youth.

He had lived in the countryside for many years, and when he thought he would stay there forever, Hu Meili suddenly asked him to return to the city.

Their family used to live a tight life, they had no connections and not much savings. It was completely beyond Lin Xiangdong's expectations that Hu Meili could buy a new job.

Having fallen into so many traps, it would be outrageous if Lin Xiangdong still planned his life according to one lifetime.

He just wants to live in the present and worry about the future later.

Hu Meili slammed the letter on the table and said to Lin Xiangnan angrily, "Your elder brother is just like you. He picked and chose the one I don't like."

Lin Xiangnan rubbed his nails nonchalantly with a scrubber, "Don't let Gu Zhenhua hear what you said. Otherwise, he will be sad."

"I'm not dissatisfied with Gu Zhenhua. I'm dissatisfied with the Gu family." Hu Meili said disdainfully: "Now it's good, there's another Zhou family. None of my in-laws can get along with me."

"Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't worry about your children and grandchildren enjoying their own happiness." Lin Xiangnan comforted him, "Although I didn't listen to you, I lived a comfortable life. Facts have proved that I was right."

Hu Meili slapped Lin Xiangnan's hand away. "How can you comfort others like you? You are disobedient and you think you are right."

"You don't like to hear the truth." Lin Xiangnan stuck out his tongue at Hu Meili.

Hu Meili is the type of person who is both naive and playful.

I want to take care of my children, but no one can do it.

Children are also human beings, not mindless puppets. How can they possibly live according to Hu Meili's ideas?

Hu Meili is just asking for trouble by meddling in so many matters.

"If you are really so petty, just wait. You will still be angry about my brother's marriage."

"But mom, you have a pretty good temper. At most, you'll get angry for a while, and then the matter will be over. It won't be too difficult to resolve."

Being teased like this, Hu Meili couldn't hold back her face, she put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Lin Xiangnan, I gave you face, right?!"

"Hehe, it's just a joke." Lin Xiangnan immediately gave in.

No matter how much she quarrels or makes a fuss, Hu Meili never takes things seriously at home.

Just like now, Lin Xiangdong refused to listen to the arrangements, and Hu Meili packed her luggage and prepared to go home while cursing.

After all, he is her own son. No matter how unwilling Hu Meili is, she still has to help make the arrangements.

At this time, Lin Xiangnan felt a little regretful. "If I had known earlier, I would not have helped my brother to persuade you. How many days will you stay this time?"

"We'll see when the time comes. Don't go back yet. I'll send you a telegram or write you a letter when things are settled."

At the family compound, Hu Meili had nothing to worry about, so after giving a brief explanation, she left by train.

Only Lin Xiangnan was left, holding the child who was becoming increasingly heavier, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The child has become fatter and fatter. It's all because of mom's over-pampering. I have to help the child lose weight while mom is away."

Gu Zhenjun looked at Lin Xiangnan in shock, "Sister-in-law, if Aunt Hu sees that the child has lost weight when we get back, she will be distressed."

"What are you afraid of? Just say that the child has grown taller and looks thinner." Lin Xiangnan shook the child in his arms, "He is almost as fat as a ball, which affects his health."

She is not a doting mother!

Lin Xiangnan was very patient in exercising with Xiaobao, but Xiaobao didn't give her face. After playing for a while, he opened his mouth to her and said, "Ah~~~"

No matter what Lin Xiangnan used to tease her, she remained unmoved and just lay down, saying "ah~~" to herself.

"I'm impressed by you." Lin Xiangnan had no choice but to get up and prepare milk powder for her.

When Xiaobao saw the bottle, he cried "ah~~" even louder.

"It's not shaken well yet. Xiaobao, can you shut up first? Your mouth will get sore later."

Xiaobao: “Ah~~~”
