Qin An Ning was quite curious at this moment, but then she thought that no matter what they found out, it had nothing to do with her, so she stopped asking.
The confidentiality rules are there, and she can't make things difficult for Pei Qian.
"You guys stay for dinner. This is my way of celebrating for you in advance."
Meng Yu actually came here this time to talk to Qin An Ning, so he agreed after hesitating for a moment.
The three of them sat in the living room and talked. Qin An Ning didn't want to ignore Pei Qian all the time, so she found two topics to talk about, but due to her status, the conversation was not lively.
Fortunately, Lu Cheng is back. With this social expert, there will be no dull moments.
While he was chatting with Pei Qian, Qin An Ning pulled Meng Yu aside to have a private conversation.
"Ningning, I'm actually a little nervous and confused. I'm going to live in a strange place, and I don't know what I'm going to do there."
Qin An Ning took some snacks and made a cup of scented tea, and the two sat opposite each other on chairs by the window in the study.
“It’s normal to feel anxious when you have to adapt to everything when you’re going to live in an unfamiliar place.
I grew up in a military compound, so let me tell you about the compound. Even a man like Pei Qian probably wouldn't be able to think of it in such detail."
In fact, people nowadays are very simple and honest, and most of them are easy to get along with. Of course, there are also a small number of excellent ones.
Where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, and even in a harmonious group, there will be disputes when their own interests are involved.
"You just went there and don't understand a lot of things. Ask Pei Qian if you have anything to say. Also, don't let yourself be bullied just because you can't let go of your feelings.
Don't give up an inch of what belongs to you, otherwise if you give in once, others will expect you to give in again next time.
Habits become second nature, and no matter what happens, I will think of sacrificing you first because you are easy to talk to."
Qin An Ning talked a lot with Meng Yu, and Meng Yu gradually had a vague direction in his mind and was no longer so confused.
"Ningning, thank you."
Qin Anning smiled and said, "What's there to thank me for? I didn't do anything."
Thinking about Wu Yanli's work, she felt it necessary to explain it to Meng Yu.
"Meng Yu, about the work at the pharmaceutical factory..."
"Oh, you don't have to tell me, I understand." Meng Yu interrupted Qin An Ning and said nonchalantly, "I'm going to join the army. How can I not get married just because of a job?
Wu Yanli is even more naive than I am. The new educated youth is quite noisy. It’s good for her to go to work so that she won’t be plotted against without knowing it.
Besides, her family has a job security, so they don’t have to worry about their future life.”
Speaking of family, Meng Yu thought of his own home again and suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Ningning, you said they are all your own children, so why can some people be so biased to such an outrageous degree?"
Although family disgrace should not be made public, Meng Yu really couldn't find anyone to talk about these things with.
These things made her feel uncomfortable, and she was about to get married. She was worried that her mother would be bullied in the future, so she wanted to see if Qin An Ning could come up with any good solution.
"My dad has four brothers, and my grandparents are very good to my three uncles, but they only ask for money from my dad.
My father is the eldest son. Life was hard for our family back then, so he ran to the city at the age of twelve to work and earn money to support the family.
Later, when he grew up a little, he happened to see a steel mill recruiting workers, so he went to work as a worker.
Before getting married, he handed over all his salary to help his three younger brothers get married. He himself was 25 years old and still unmarried.
I finally married my mother, but after marriage, most of my salary was taken away by my grandparents.
Later, when we had children, we could hardly make ends meet. One time, I had appendicitis and needed surgery, and the family couldn't afford a penny. My mother made a fuss and finally set the pension for them at 20 yuan per month.
My father has no education and can only do hard labor in the steel factory. For so many years, his salary has only been around 40 yuan a month.
Meng Yu smiled bitterly when he said this. This was probably the reason why his father was able to keep his job.
The work in the steel factory was dirty and tiring, and his grandparents were reluctant to let his three uncles suffer. They could also take away most of his father's salary, so it was great to be able to get money without having to work hard.
"My mother earns less than 30 yuan a month, and the two of them together earn just over 70 yuan a month.
My grandparents take 20 yuan every month, and the rest is used for our family's living expenses. We have a family of six, and we can still get by even if we are very tight.
But recently my grandpa got sick, and not only did our family have to pay for his hospitalization, but my mom also had to go to the hospital to take care of him. My three uncles and aunts at home never even came to visit.
I originally wanted to make a big fuss about this so that my parents would be exploited less by my grandparents.
But in order to prevent Pei Qian from making a fool of himself, my mother has been holding back and not letting me get involved in this matter.
I can leave this home if I get married soon, but I am worried about them. My second brother will graduate from high school next year, and if he doesn't have a job, he will have to go to the countryside, and my family can't afford to buy him a job.
Ningning, do you have any idea how to deal with my grandparents?"
Qin An Ning didn't know what to say after hearing this. Meng Yu's parents were just two scapegoats, right?
She thought for a moment and said, "Meng Yu, although your grandparents are excessive, the root of your family's problems actually lies with your father."
Meng Yu was surprised, "My dad?"
"Well, I don't know what he's thinking. Maybe he thinks that as the eldest son in the family, he should take on the responsibility of supporting his parents and brothers.
But he is married, has a wife and children, and it is his responsibility to support the family.
The fact that your grandparents were able to take so much money from your family over the years was the result of your father's indulgence. Your father is a bit... foolishly filial.
Qin Anning saw Meng Yu thinking for a moment and continued, "I don't know your father, and I don't understand what kind of person he is, but think about it, isn't this the case?
If your father is clear-headed, then once he gets married, it is his responsibility and obligation as a husband and father to ensure that his wife and children live a good life.
Your family of two working parents is so poor that they don’t even have money when you are sick. Isn’t that the result of your father’s inaction?
It is right to be filial to your parents, but you can’t ignore your own family, right?
Besides, according to the current living standards, your grandparents eat delicacies from land and sea every day, so how can it cost 20 yuan a month?
Your father is not the only son they have. Do the other sons also give so much pension every month?"
Meng Yu originally thought that her grandparents were too greedy, but after Qin An Ning said this, she began to understand a little.
The money is in their hands. If they don't give it, no matter what her grandparents do, it will be useless.
At worst, according to the current living standards, her family can give her five or eight yuan a month at most, and no one can say anything about it.
"But my dad has been like this for so many years. It's so hard to get him to change. My mom is so soft-hearted. What can I do?"
