Volume 1 Chapter 21 Sheng Wanze's Thoughts
Sheng Wanze glanced at his mother. It was rare that his mother was in a good mood today and was very tolerant of him.
"explain."
"Well...I'm dating someone."
“Cough cough cough…”
When Mother Sheng and Father Sheng heard what he said, they started coughing continuously and the white flour buns in their mouths spat out.
Fortunately, the two people reacted quickly and turned their heads away, otherwise the food on the table would have been affected.
Sheng Wanyan was also a little confused after hearing this. Wasn’t this family still looking for a partner for him yesterday?
There is a breaking news today?
"Sheng Wanze! You dead kid, there's not even a message from me!"
"It's a pity that I'm still helping you find a partner, you rebellious son!"
Sheng's mother was so angry that he didn't even tell her that he had a partner, so she had to keep asking around.
"Where are you from? How did you know each other?"
Mr. Sheng asked the key question. Since his son could tell his family, it meant that he was going to get married.
"I'm a deputy platoon leader in our military art troupe. I'm from Kyoto."
When Mr. Sheng heard that they were from Kyoto, his expression paused. This family is from Kyoto. Do their family agree with me marrying far away?
"How's the situation at home?"
Sheng's mother asked directly to clarify. She didn't want her son to be so far behind his girlfriend.
To put it bluntly, your family background is too different from yours, and there will be a lot of things to deal with in the future.
What's more, as a man, the difference is too big, and he will inevitably feel insecure when speaking at his mother-in-law's house in the future.
She doesn't care if her future daughter-in-law doesn't have a good family background. As long as she has good character and a clean family background, she can accept it.
But if he has a good family background but is an unreasonable person, she will not accept it!
If such a person really came into the family, she wouldn't mind being a wicked mother-in-law. She didn't want to work so hard for so many years to maintain family harmony.
The rule was broken by a future daughter-in-law, who did not have such a good attitude.
“She has two older brothers and one older sister, and her father is the second child in the family.
My brothers and sisters are all married. My father is the division commander of our military region, and my mother is the head nurse of the military region.
One of my two brothers is in Kyoto. The eldest brother is the deputy director of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau. The second brother is a soldier like me, in another unit.
My sister is an elementary school teacher and she is married to a factory manager. My grandparents have retired and are living in Kyoto with their eldest son. ”
Sheng Wanze explained everything clearly one by one. Mother Sheng felt a headache after listening to it. It sounded like the whole family were leaders.
The gap between the two families is quite large, which makes her head buzz. This lousy son is really either nothing every time, or he gives her something that makes her so annoyed that she wants to kill him.
Grandpa Sheng and Father Sheng lowered their heads when they heard this, not knowing what they were thinking. Grandpa Sheng took a sip of the wine that Sheng Wanze brought back, thought for a while, and said a few words.
"Xiao Ze, what are you thinking?"
Grandpa Sheng's eyes were not as easy-going as usual, but instead had a hint of seriousness.
"Master, I know what you are thinking. My military medals were earned with my own sweat and blood. I married a wife, not the status of her family."
Sheng Wanze stood up straight, his face full of confidence and calmness, and spoke very seriously.
"Do you know what others will say about you?"
"Master, you've told me since I was a kid that I should be honest and upright. Conspiracies and tricks are nothing but paper tigers in front of strength."
This is the principle his grandfather taught him since he was a child, and now he is using it to block Grandpa Sheng.
After hearing this, Grandpa Sheng felt relieved and he always kept his teachings in mind.
After taking a sip of wine, he calmed down and looked at him: "Since you have made up your mind, we will not stop you. However, I also have something to say to you today."
Sheng Wanze nodded, placed his hands on his thighs, and looked at his grandfather with a straight body.
"You didn't have a date before, and you didn't have any plans to start a family. We didn't tell you about our plans. Now that we've reached the stage of getting engaged, there are some things that must be made clear."
Grandpa Sheng knocked on the table. Everyone was looking at him. Grandma Sheng knew what he wanted to say.
“You and Yan’er are both children of our Sheng family, and you are the only grandson of our Sheng family. Your parents will be your responsibility in the future, and your sister is your family.
But getting married means you have your own family, and it also means that some family interests have to be clearly divided. ”
At this point, Sheng Wanze had already guessed what Grandpa Sheng was going to say.
"Master, what are you talking about? We are a family."
Grandpa Sheng waved his hand. Now that he had a wife, he had to balance many things.
To them, the two children are as dear to them as their own flesh and blood, and he does not want his future granddaughter-in-law to marry into their family.
Sheng Wanyan, as the sister-in-law, will feel wronged, and so will her future granddaughter-in-law. Sheng Wanze will also have a hard time in the middle, and the family harmony of so many years will be broken.
He had to make everything clear before any conflicts arose at home.
Sometimes, a small conflict can become a thorn in the heart, and some thorns will be remembered for a lifetime.
Mother Sheng looked at the situation at the dinner table, put down her chopsticks and directly expressed what she and her husband had been thinking about for many years.
"Xiao Ze, your father and I saved a large portion of the salary you sent back over the years, and used a small portion for daily household expenses.
When you get married, you can take half of the money that I've saved for you over the years as a settlement fee, and we will keep the remaining half as a backup in case your family needs money urgently.
This money will only be used for me, your father, and your grandparents. After you get married, you two will keep the salary yourselves and just send us 15 yuan per month for living expenses.
Your father and I have saved our salaries over the years, and we will not favor you just because you are our son.
It will be given directly to you as dowry and gift when you two brothers and sisters get married, and the settlement fee will be divided equally between you. ”
When Sheng Wanze heard this, he glanced at his mother and was about to say something but was stopped by her.
"Your sister is working now. She bought the job with our money, not a penny of yours.
Although your previous job was not bought for you by my husband and me, you also know that during your many years in the army, your family sent you the best meat, food, and clothes every month.
The total amount is no less than 300 yuan, or even more. Your sister suffered a bit of a loss here.
You used to keep five dollars for your own use every month. You had food and shelter in the military area and you lacked nothing.
Although your sister didn't have a job before, her life at home is no easier than ours.
Your grandparents are old, and they have some minor health problems due to the housework at home. Your father and I are often not feeling well, and it is your sister who takes care of us alone. These should have been your responsibility. ”
When Sheng Wanze heard what his mother said and looked at his sister, he felt a little distressed for her and even more guilty.
