Chapter 319 The More You Think About It, the More Worth It Is
Zhang Yi was a little confused!
What's wrong with his mother? She's only been gone for two days, and she seems like a completely different person.
He's going to be a live-in son-in-law, and his mother is actually so happy?
"Mom, did you hear me clearly? I said I can only become a live-in son-in-law from now on, not go to graduate school or continue my studies!"
"Don't misunderstand!" Zhang Yi quickly repeated.
His mother must have misheard him, thinking he was going to continue studying hard, otherwise why would she be so excited!
Lin Shuqiong sat up abruptly and shook the cucumber slices off her face.
Zhang Yi could see that there was a light in his mother's eyes!
It was still that same excitement, joy, and a little bit of impatience...
"Mom, what are you doing!" Zhang Yi quickly shook off the cucumber slices that had accidentally gotten on him.
Lin Shuqiong gently patted her face, completely ignoring Zhang Yi's slightly disgusted expression.
"How could I have misheard? Didn't you just say you were going to become a live-in son-in-law? That's great news! It's fantastic news!"
"Son, tell Mom, you're not lying to me, are you?" Lin Shuqiong's voice was full of excitement.
Zhang Yi nodded involuntarily.
"Yes, I said that. I said that if you don't support me going out to do business, I'll have to become a live-in son-in-law in the future."
"And how is this a good thing? What's so good about it?" Zhang Yi pressed.
Lin Shuqiong made a gesture that said it was normal for you not to understand or know the benefits involved.
"You're still too young; you don't have a long-term vision!"
Son, I only just realized that you are a filial son.
Think about it, if you become a live-in son-in-law, then when you get married, I won't have to prepare a house for you, and I won't have to prepare any furniture, no matter how many legs it has.
And what about the "three turns and one sound" (a set of watches, a watch, a radio, and a watch), the TV, the washing machine? Do I not need to prepare any of that?
Just do the math, that's a huge sum of money!
Now I don't have to pay a single penny, isn't that a good thing?
Oh, I won't have to worry about you after you have your baby, which will save me a lot of money. It's such a huge sum of money!
We actually saved money like that! Isn't that a good thing?
"Oh my, my son is indeed a college student. He can even come up with such a good idea. He is such a filial son!" The more Lin Shuqiong thought about it, the more she felt that it was a good thing to let her son become a live-in son-in-law.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable when Yao Shula said that at first.
Looking at it now...
Haha, not only does it annoy my son, but it also seems to save me a lot of money! It's a win-win situation!
"Mom, what are you saying! That's a live-in son-in-law, it's not a nice thing to say!" Zhang Yi raised his voice immediately.
"What's wrong with that! These days, rich families call their daughters 'little princesses'."
Since you're a little princess now, and also a son-in-law who's married into the family, you can think of yourself as the prince consort!
"That should sound better now, right?" Lin Shuqiong said without any hesitation.
Zhang Yi...
Is his mom serious?
"Mom, you need to think this through. If I become a live-in son-in-law, how will others view you? Will they look down on you?" Zhang Yi decided to reason with her.
Lin Shuqiong chuckled.
"Look down on me? Why would they look down on me! If you become a live-in son-in-law, I'll save a lot of money, and life won't be better!"
I dress better than them, eat better than them, and live better than them? What do they look down on me for?
"I look down on them!" Lin Shuqiong snorted.
Zhang Yi...
Having no other choice, Zhang Yi had to continue appealing to emotions.
"Mom, you'd better think this through. If I become a live-in son-in-law, all the children I have will have to take his surname. With that in mind, can you still smile?" Zhang Yi continued to ask.
Lin Shuqiong has finished patting her face and is now applying face cream!
Lin Shuqiong smeared the remaining face cream on her neck and rolled her eyes at Zhang Yi.
“You don’t even take my surname, so how can I expect my future grandchildren to take my surname? Do you think your mother is the kind of person who cares about these things?”
Son, you can't think like that.
Didn't you just say you were going to become a live-in son-in-law?
Since you've become a live-in son-in-law, you must abide by the rules for such a person.
The first rule of becoming a live-in son-in-law is that the children take the woman's surname. You can't break that rule! You're a college student; you have to have a sense of contract in everything you do.
"Otherwise, they might not want you to be their son-in-law," Lin Shuqiong continued.
Zhang Yi finally realized that his mother might not be joking with him.
"Mom, are you serious? You want me to be a live-in son-in-law? Have you thought about what you'll do when you get old?"
"Who's going to take care of you in your old age?!" Zhang Yi stood up angrily.
Lin Shuqiong quickly tugged at Zhang Yi's sleeve.
"Oh dear, what's the rush! You're getting angry with your mother! I was just agreeing with you, and you're still getting angry with me."
Son, don't worry, as long as you become a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, you'll be taking care of your mother in her old age.
Think about it, didn't Mom just say that you becoming a live-in son-in-law saved her a lot of money? Mom will use that money for her retirement.
When Mom gets really old and can't walk anymore, she'll go to a nursing home. Then she'll tell her nephews and nieces who wants to visit her often, and she'll give them money.
When your cousins hear this, they'll be scrambling to go!
Son, don't worry, Mom doesn't need you to worry.
Your mother has raised you to adulthood and put in a lot of effort. If you were even more filial, you could ask for a dowry when you become a son-in-law.
Three or five hundred is fine, a thousand or eight hundred is fine too; bring it all back to Mom, and she'll consider it your way of showing filial piety.
The more Lin Shuqiong spoke, the more sense she found in his words.
What's the point of working yourself to the bone to raise your son? Is it so that this unfilial son will make you furious every time he comes home?
Looking back now, it was actually a good idea for him to become a live-in son-in-law.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuqiong then looked at Zhang Yi, who was already dumbfounded.
"Son, you must strive to be a good son-in-law who lives with his wife's family!"
You're a bit too thin; you should exercise more! Otherwise, people will look down on you.
Also, I think if you really want to be a live-in son-in-law, you don't necessarily have to keep your eyes on that... Zhu Zhu! I think her family's financial situation is just average, and they probably can't afford the bride price. Why don't you try harder and look up? There are so many wealthy families in Shanghai, maybe someone will take a liking to you!
Well, forget about Gu Xiaoman. She already has a boyfriend, someone of equal social standing, and she wouldn't be interested in a son-in-law who lives with her family.
or……
Son, why are you leaving! Everything Mom said is true. Mom doesn't mind you becoming a live-in son-in-law at all, really..."
Watching her son slam the door and leave, Lin Shuqiong smiled and hummed a Teresa Teng song!
Haha, Yao Shula is right. If you put yourself first, there's nothing you can't solve.
Today I really angered this unfilial son!
Now that I'm in a good mood, I can go get a good night's sleep...
