Chapter 119: Taking the Upper Hand Shanshan Finds a Partner
In the kitchen, Su's mother, Su's third brother and his wife were all there, and they didn't go to the living room. Su Xudong went to buy some wine, so it was Su's father and the Yu family who were in the living room.
"Can they listen to Dad?" asked Mrs. Su.
"On the surface, they will always agree." Su's mother said, "Your father is older than you, if he doesn't say something, who will? Your father has been holding it in for a long time, and now that he has the chance, he has to talk to them."
Su's mother wanted to stop Su's father, but it was difficult to do so, so she simply left the living room and let Su's father talk to the Yu family himself.
"Dad is just too controlling." said Brother Su San.
"If your sisters encounter the same situation as your aunt, will you do anything?" Su's mother asked.
"Of course I have to take care of it!" said Brother Su San. If his sisters encountered a situation like that of Aunt Su, he would not only take care of it, he might even chase them and beat them up.
"That's it." Su's mother said, "Let your father go and talk to him."
Old Madam Su has passed away, and Second Aunt Su is not in Nancheng, so only Father Su can talk to the Yu family and ask them to take good care of Little Aunt Su.
It was impossible for Su's father to give money to the Yu family, he just said it. The Yu family just perfunctorily gave Su's father a heads-up, and then those people would still treat Aunt Su the same way. Aunt Su didn't save money for retirement, she had little money, and Yu Jiachao and his wife didn't think about how much money she could take out, so Aunt Su had no bargaining chips.
If Aunt Su had more money, other people would definitely be nice to her and expect her to give the money to them.
In the living room, Father Su gave Yu Jiachao a few more instructions, "It's just one room. Cook more when you cook. When you were little, your mother took good care of you."
"Uncle, don't worry. As long as we have food to eat, mom will have food to eat as well," said Yu Jiachao.
Yu Jiachao didn't see Yu Guochao. He was not unhappy when he learned that Su's father didn't let Yu Guochao come. Yu Guochao was not a good guy. Yu Jiachao had long since forgotten that there was no big brother like Yu Guochao.
"Yes, uncle, I will go wash clothes for mom." Yu Donghua said, "Second sister just came to South City, she has things to do, so she may not be that free. She will also go to take care of mom when she is free."
Yu Donghua pulled Yu Chunhua's clothes. They had to behave better in front of their uncle.
"Yes, I will go to take care of mom and wash her clothes during the holidays." Yu Chunhua said, "and bring some food to mom."
When Aunt Su heard her children say these things, she knew that it was enough, and that these people should just treat her the way they were now. It was impossible to expect these people to treat her better. Aunt Su had long understood how painful it was to have no money. Since she became paralyzed, Uncle Su had not given Aunt Su any money, and it was difficult for Aunt Su to buy anything now.
"If you have money, give your mother a little money every month." Father Su said, "It doesn't have to be much, every little counts."
"Of course, of course." Yu Donghua said.
The Su family invited Yu Chunhua and others to dinner, but did not invite Su Yanan and others to come. It was because Amelia Su and her husband lived next door that Amelia Su and her husband were invited to dinner.
A day later, when Su's mother went to Su Xueqing's place, she told her what Su's father had said about the Yu family.
"Your uncle-in-law was there too. I heard from your father that he didn't say anything." Su's mother said.
"Dad is still talking about my cousins?" Su Xueqing was surprised. She thought her father didn't care about those things anymore.
"Didn't we invite Chunhua and the others to our house for dinner?" Su's mother said, "Your father couldn't help but say it. If he wants to say it, let him say it. He has wanted to go to Yu's house to say those things for a long time, but I didn't let him go. How could he go to Yu's house to say those things? If he goes to someone else's territory to say those things, will others listen? If he wants to say it at home, let him say it."
"Whatever, Dad. Dad is so old now." Su Xueqing said, "After all, my aunt is my biological sister with the same father and mother. How could Dad not care about my aunt? If something happens to me, my third brother will definitely care about me."
"If your aunt had been more sensible and obedient, none of these things would have happened." Mother Su sighed, "At this point, what's the point of your father's words? Others are just perfunctory. It's good that Yu Jiachao didn't kick your aunt out."
Aunt Su was helping Yu Guochao and his wife, but was pushed down by Yu Dasao. Yu Jiachao and his wife certainly had complaints. It was impossible for them not to have complaints.
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded.
"Chunhua and the others probably won't come to see you. If they do, just treat them to a meal. Don't agree to anything else." Mother Su reminded Su Xueqing.
Even though Yu Chunhua had never borrowed money from Su Xueqing, Su's mother still had to tell Su Xueqing not to bother with Yu Chunhua's affairs. The Su family must not interfere in the affairs of the Yu family. Every member of the Yu family is ungrateful and cunning.
"Don't worry, I know how to deal with them." Su Xueqing said.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yan Mingde had a quarrel with his two younger brothers and sisters. Yan Mingde still doesn't think he is wrong. He thinks his younger brothers and sisters are loved by his parents, and his parents don't love him at all.
Yan's mother often spoke ill of Xu Ruyun in front of Yan Mingde, and said that Xu Ruyun encouraged Yan Yichen to treat Yan Mingde badly. In order to prevent Yan Mingde from thinking that it was her fault, Yan's mother lied with open eyes. Even though Xu Ruyun asked Yan Yichen to take care of the two children, she definitely did not stop Yan Yichen from not looking at Yan Mingde.
"Your mother only cares about your brother."
"You grew up with your grandma. Your mother thinks you side with grandma and she is not satisfied with you."
"Your dad listened to your mom. He came to see you, but was hurriedly asked to leave. It was probably your mom who asked him to leave."
…
Yan Yichen was a businessman, so when someone called him, he had to go to handle his business. But Yan's mother said that Xu Ruyun asked Yan Yichen to leave.
Once, it was Xu Ruyun who called Yan Yichen, and Yan Mingde happened to hear Xu Ruyun's voice. Yan Yichen would call Xu Ruyun's name, and Yan Mingde understood it even more. You know, the sound of a mobile phone may be distorted and become unlike the voice of a person's usual speech, but the name is placed there, so it is not easy to make a mistake.
This made Yan Mingde resent Xu Ruyun even more. Why did his mother give birth to him if she didn't care about him? Yan Mingde got into a fight outside, and when he got home, all he thought about was that Xu Ruyun was too low-ranking. If his mother was Ning Jiaxuan, he would not be bullied like this outside, and others would definitely praise him.
Yes, Yan Mingde already knew that Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan were engaged.
According to Yan's mother, it was Xu Ruyun's appearance that ruined the engagement between Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan. Yan's mother conveyed the wrong idea to Yan Mingde, she did not think she was wrong, it was Xu Ruyun who was wrong.
Xu Ruyun knew what Yan's mother had said to Yan Mingde, but she did not explain it to Yan Mingde, because Yan Mingde simply could not believe her explanation. In Yan Mingde's mind, she was not a good mother, and she made him lose face.
Xu Ruyun thought that she was just an ordinary person and had not done anything excessive. It was Yan's mother who was excessive. Xu Ruyun did not bother with Yan's mother, and Yan's mother could say whatever she wanted.
Sometimes when Old Lady Yan heard Mother Yan say something to Yan Mingde, she would stop him. But Mother Yan could say those words when Old Lady Yan wasn't paying attention, and it was hard to guard against. Old Lady Yan had no choice but to stop caring about Yan Mingde.
At school, Yan Mingde offended someone and had a fight with him. Yan Yanran went home and told Xu Ruyun about it.
"Brother had a fight with someone again today." Yan Yanran said.
"Don't go over there, stay away from me." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't get beaten."
"I didn't go over there." Yan Yanran said, "I just watched from a distance. My brother always fights, once every few days."
"Don't worry about him." Xu Ruyun said, "He should have the upper hand. If he didn't have the upper hand, would he fight with others all day long?"
If I hadn't had the upper hand, I would have become a coward long ago.
Xu Ruyun thought that as long as Yan Mingde didn't kill anyone, it didn't matter. They couldn't stop Yan Mingde from offending people outside, they could only say it was a fight between children, and adults shouldn't care too much. But some business matters would be affected to some extent.
It’s okay, Yan Yichen will know who offended him.
"Hurry up and eat with your brother." Xu Ruyun said, "If you see your brother fighting at school, you don't have to help him. You and your brother are good, this is more important than anything else."
"He doesn't even treat us as brothers and sisters." Yan Yanran said.
"Yes, so you should not help him." Xu Ruyun said, "You just need to take care of yourselves."
"Okay." Yan Yanran nodded.
Yan Mingkang looked at his mother and his sister, and he listened to them. Yan Mingkang didn't like Yan Mingde, who had targeted him several times, and Yan Mingkang hated his brother.
Yu Chunhua found a job as a nanny, living in other people's homes, cleaning and taking care of the elderly. She only had two days off a month, and could not take too long, because the elderly's children did not have time to take care of them, and even if they had time, they did not want to stay in front of the elderly for too long.
The old lady also knew that her children didn't want to see her more, so she could only let the nanny do the work. The old lady felt that the house was not cleaned well enough, and then she felt that Yu Chunhua cooked too much.
"It's for one meal." The old man said, "Why do you make so much? For lunch, make it for lunch, and for dinner, make it for dinner. Do you want to eat more?"
“No.” Yu Chunhua said, “I just did it, so I may not be able to grasp how much to do. Pay attention later, pay attention later.”
"Do you think our money is money?" the old man said, "I want you to do the work, but I want to eat fresh food."
The elderly talk a lot and have many requests. Why her children are unwilling to come and take care of their biological mother is because their biological mother says this and that, which makes them very annoyed. Hiring a nanny to do things for the elderly can make them feel much more at ease.
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Yu Chunhua said quickly.
Yu Chunhua was reluctant to give up this job, so if the old man had more questions, she would be more patient. Yu Chunhua asked the old man about the problems that needed her attention, and the old man said a lot.
"If I ask you to buy leeks, it will take you half a day." said the old man.
“……” Yu Chunhua was helpless. She was mopping the floor at the time and she couldn’t mop the floor and buy groceries at the same time.
Yu Chunhua could only bear it for the time being, every penny she could earn was valuable.
Since Yu Chunhua had too little time to rest, Yu Donghua had to do most of the laundry for Aunt Su. Yu Chunhua's husband also went to find a job. It was not easy for a grown man to take care of his mother-in-law. At most, he would buy some things and send them to Aunt Su.
This was better than when Yu Chunhua and her husband stayed in the countryside, as Aunt Su could get a little more care. Others bought food for Aunt Su, and Aunt Su gave it to Zhu Baoqian's children. Zhu Baoqian told the children not to eat those things and let Aunt Su eat them herself.
"Mom, don't give those things to the children, eat them yourself." Zhu Baoqian said in front of Aunt Su, "They are filial to you, you give them to the children, and others treat me as my son who is short of food, but they have to snatch them from you, thinking that we are unfilial."
"A little bit of food." Aunt Su said, "I can't finish it."
"You can finish it if you eat a little more." Zhu Baoqian said, "You are already this old, you should eat what they buy for you, and eat as much as you can."
Zhu Baoqian didn't want others to think that she didn't let Aunt Su eat, so she didn't go to get it.
"If you really can't finish it, put it in the refrigerator." Zhu Baoqian said, "The refrigerator is over there. It's not like you can't put things in it."
"Okay." Aunt Su said.
"We haven't filled up the refrigerator yet," Zhu Baoqian said. "There's still some empty space. If you feel like there's not enough space, you can just tidy it up a bit and it will fit. It's the same at other people's homes. They usually put the groceries they buy in the refrigerator randomly. It's impossible for them to store them so well."
"Okay." Aunt Su said.
Yu Guochao and his wife did not buy food for Aunt Su. If they bought food, they would only buy it for themselves. Yu Xiuxiu got married and got the marriage certificate. Yu Guochao and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Yu Xiuxiu would not be able to successfully get the marriage certificate and would be returned. As long as the marriage certificate was not obtained, those people might regret it and ask for the betrothal gift back. As long as the marriage certificate was obtained, it would be much easier.
Time passed day by day, and it would soon be Ning Yurong's college entrance examination. Mrs. Ning was still a little nervous, even though her eldest son's grades were good, better than her youngest son's. The eldest son had to take the college entrance examination, and the youngest had to take the high school entrance examination, all at the same time.
"I don't dare to go back to my parents' place recently." Ning Jiaxuan brought her child over and let her child play with Xiao Wenjun. "My sister-in-law has been much more serious recently. To be serious, she is not particularly serious. She keeps a straight face for a while, then smiles again. It terrifies me. Those who know about it think it is because the child is preparing for the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. Those who don't think about it think something big has happened. It turns out that my sister-in-law can also be this anxious."
"When it comes to children, it's inevitable to be anxious." Su Xueqing said, "My elder brother and his wife want Yurong to go to college in China, not to study abroad, so of course Yurong has to do well in the exam. Yuhao is okay, the middle school entrance exam is not like the college entrance exam. If he doesn't do well in the middle school entrance exam, he can still spend a little more money and go to a good high school, but not a university. If you spend more money, you can only send him to study abroad."
"That's right, Yurong should be like his elder brother in the future." Ning Jiaxuan said, "When the time comes, he should apply for the law major and join the procuratorate."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "This road is still very good."
"A few days ago, a prosecutor was stabbed." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Have you read the newspaper? It was all in the newspaper. The migrant workers went to collect their debts but didn't get them, and the prosecutor sided with the businessman, so this is what happened."
"..." Su Xueqing didn't know how to explain this matter. Some businessmen were rich but unkind. They just refused to pay people properly. "Maybe they are in a really difficult situation. For those businessmen, it's a small amount of money, but for migrant workers, it's a lifeline. If you make an honest person angry, he will also jump up and down."
Yes, it is wrong to stab someone with a knife, but Su Xueqing and the others are not migrant workers, and they cannot understand other people's despair. If someone leaves Su Xueqing with no way out, Su Xueqing is not sure what she will do.
"Yes, even rabbits bite when they are anxious." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Didn't I tell my sister-in-law and the others about this? They said it was an accident. Yurong still has to apply for the law major, it's a good major. Yurong has made preparations long ago, and it's not easy for my brother and the others to train Yurong."
"Don't worry, we don't have to worry about these things." Su Xueqing said, "Brother and sister-in-law will arrange everything. Yurong's grades are good and he can be admitted to Nancheng University."
"Nancheng University is the best in our province." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Nancheng University's political science and law major is also quite good."
"Well." Su Xueqing said, "Don't worry."
"Thinking back to when I took the college entrance exam, I wasn't really that nervous," Ning Jiaxuan said. "That was a time of reform, and many policies were relaxed. Mom said that if I didn't pass the exam, I could study abroad. My family paid for my education, not government funding, so I didn't have to worry about that. I wasn't really worried, I just had to pass the exam. After the scores came out, I was admitted, and I was pretty happy. But after attending classes, I found that the major was different from what I had imagined, so I backed out."
Later, Ning Jiaxuan insisted on finishing her major. After she came back from studying abroad, she did not go to work in the company. Ning Jiaxuan made some investments, but she did not participate in management. She just waited for dividends and bought houses. Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing were sisters-in-law and good friends. They often bought properties in the same community and made some simple investments together.
Sister-in-law Ning did something else by herself, and did not invest with Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing. If things went wrong, others would think that Ning Yanjing gave a lot of money to Brother Ning. Giving money between brothers was fine, but it would be bad if it was made a big deal. Brother Ning did not let outsiders spend money, nor did he let his younger brother spend too much.
"You've already graduated, so don't worry about whether your major is good or not." Su Xueqing said, "Don't worry about graduation."
"Yurong is about to take the college entrance examination. I won't go there recently." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I'm afraid my sister-in-law and the others will be distracted from taking care of me."
Although there were servants at home to cook, Ning Jiaxuan was sitting there, and the Ning family couldn't just ignore her. Ning Jiaxuan simply didn't go over and would go over later.
"You too, don't go there recently." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Wait until Yuhao finishes his high school entrance exam, then let Yuhao and Xiaojun finish it. If Yuhao doesn't do well in the exam, then..."
"So what?" Su Xueqing raised her eyebrows.
"Forget it. He has an older brother. It's enough if he does well in the exam." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Yuhao should have more fun. It's good to have two children. If one child works hard, it doesn't matter if the other one works hard or not."
"That's not the case. Everyone has their own future." Su Xueqing said, "For parents and a family, maybe they just think that having one very powerful child is enough. But for the children themselves, they are all independent individuals. Of course, they all hope that they can be powerful themselves, instead of relying on others."
"Yuhao may not think so. His brother is very capable, so he just needs to make some money on his own." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"..." Su Xueqing was silent for a while, "That's right, if the family conditions are good, it is indeed possible."
It's hard to get along if your family conditions are not good.
Su Xueqing thought of Wei Shanshan. Wei Shanshan must work hard. Only if Wei Shanshan works hard to do well can her life be better. Others cannot always help Wei Shanshan.
"I heard that your niece is on a blind date?" Ning Jiaxuan asked, "Did it come to fruition?"
"I'm on a blind date, but there's no result yet." Su Xueqing said.
"It's like this." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Although Shanshan doesn't have a high degree, she's from South City and is a nurse, so she has a good job. There's a counselor in Lou Mian's school who is not married yet and has just graduated. That person's family is not bad, and they're also from South City. They have a self-built house, and the brothers each have a floor. In the future, they can save some money and buy a house."
"Is there any trouble?" Su Xueqing asked.
"No." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I asked someone to find out. I don't know how the family of the person Lou Mian mentioned knew Shanshan, so I asked Lou Mian, and Lou Mian told me. I think their family conditions are okay, and they can afford the bride price."
"The betrothal gift is necessary, but it's not the most important thing." Su Xueqing said, "I'll ask Shanshan."
"Okay." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If Shanshan wasn't nice, I wouldn't have said this."
Ning Jiaxuan's good relationship with Su Xueqing doesn't mean she has a good relationship with other members of the Su family. After Ning Jiaxuan moved in next door, she knew about Shanshan coming over. Ning Jiaxuan had long known about Su Xueqing's help to Wei Shanshan, but fortunately Wei Shanshan was a person who knew how to be grateful.
When Wei Shanshan went to Su Xueqing's house for dinner, she brought some things with her. Su Xueqing asked Wei Shanshan to come, and Wei Shanshan still bought some fruits. Wei Shanshan knew that her aunt's family had better food, so she bought better things on purpose and didn't dare to buy too cheap. Wei Shanshan also considered her own financial conditions and didn't buy too much.
"My friend, who is also my sister-in-law, has a man from her school who wants to meet you. He is a counselor at Nancheng University of Technology." Su Xueqing said, "He graduated from the university and is also from Nancheng..."
Su Xueqing told everything she knew. The information was from Ning Jiaxuan, and Su Xueqing also had someone check it out. It wasn't that Su Xueqing didn't believe Ning Jiaxuan, but blind dates were something that had to be treated seriously.
"I'll see!" Wei Shanshan nodded, "He has such good conditions..."
Wei Shanshan was a little scared, afraid that she was not worthy of that man.
"There is one thing that might not be good. He is not very tall, probably only about 1.7 meters, or maybe a centimeter or two shorter." Su Xueqing said, "Boys don't show their height. If you stand in front of him, you might be almost as tall as him."
"It's okay." Wei Shanshan said, "It's not a big problem, let's see what else."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said.
Ning Jiaxuan asked Lou Mian to invite people to her home so that Wei Shanshan could go and see. The man's family had already found out everything about Wei Shanshan's family situation. The man's family was not worried that Su Yamei favored boys over girls, as long as Wei Shanshan could handle it clearly. Wei Shanshan knew how to work hard and had a suitable job, so they chose her.
If Wei Shanshan didn't work hard and didn't have a good job, others would look down on her.
Wei Shanshan was puzzled as to why the man did not look for a doctor but a nurse. Nurses, like doctors, are always busy and have to stay in the hospital for a large part of the time, so they don't have much time to take care of their families. Others with better conditions also look for people from higher positions. Lou Mian's colleague is a little short, not the tall and thin type, and a little plump, but not the type that is particularly fat.
The figure is a little off, but other conditions are fine.
Su Xueqing asked Wei Shanshan to think for herself and not to think that she and Ning Jiaxuan had to agree just because they were the matchmakers. Wei Shanshan could have refused at all.
After meeting the man, Wei Shanshan asked some questions and the man answered them one by one.
"I'm a little fat and not tall." Ke Baoquan was a little embarrassed. He had been on a blind date before, but the woman was not satisfied with him, so there was no follow-up.
When Ke Baoquan met Wei Shanshan, he was quite satisfied with her, but he didn't know whether Wei Shanshan was satisfied with him. Wei Shanshan was quite satisfied with him. He was about 1.68 meters tall, a little fat, but not the kind with a big belly. He had a house and was a college counselor. He could give a relatively high betrothal gift and had good character.
Wei Shanshan and Ke Baoquan will start by dating and spend some time together. If they are suitable, they can continue their relationship later.
When Ke Baoquan is free, he takes Wei Shanshan out for delicious meals and picks her up from get off work.
After Ning Yurong and his brother finished the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination, Su Xueqing took Xiao Wenjun to see Ning Yurong and his brother.
"Xiao Junjun." Ning Yuhao ran over immediately when he saw Xiao Wenjun, "I'm finally out of jail."
"Out of jail? I thought you were a pig out of the pen." Mrs. Ning said, "Look at the flesh on your face, so plump."
"That's because you always told me to eat with my brother, saying that I need to eat more for the high school entrance exams and college entrance exams." Ning Yuhao stretched out his hand and pinched his face, "My handsome face is about to be ruined."
"Will you eat it if I tell you to?" said Mrs. Ning.
"You kept picking up food for me and asked me to eat more. How could I not eat?" Ning Yuhao said, "I just didn't want to make you worry too much."
Ning Yuhao was a big eater when he was growing up, and Mrs. Ning let him eat more, so his face became a lot rounder.
"It's okay. You're so fair and tender. When you reach high school and are a little thinner, you'll be the school hunk." Su Xueqing comforted.
"Forget about being the school hunk, as long as Xiao Junjun can still recognize me." Ning Yuhao said.
"I can recognize him. How can I not recognize Brother Yuhao?" Xiao Wenjun walked around Ning Yuhao twice, "He has really gained weight."
Then, Xiao Wenjun looked at Amelia Su again, “Mom, do I have to be like Brother Yuhao in the future high school entrance examination?”
"Of course." Su Xueqing said, "If you want, then you can."
"Then forget it." Xiao Wenjun said, "I'm afraid I can't run more than 800 meters."
Xiao Wenjun still likes those who are not too fat. If they are too fat, she will have difficulty breathing. Xiao Wenjun admires Ning Yuhao, but Ning Yuhao is indeed not too fat.
"Come on, sister, let's go play." Ning Yuhao took Xiao Wenjun to the toy room to play games.
Su Xueqing and Mrs. Ning did not follow them and let them play.
It's the weekend now, and Su Xueqing brought Xiao Wenjun here. Xiao Wenjun will have summer vacation in a few days.
"Yuhao said he wanted to go see Junjun before he even took his high school entrance exam. I told him not to go and to take the exam first," said Mrs. Ning.
"The high school entrance exam is important." Su Xueqing said, "That's why I brought Xiao Junjun here because I was thinking about the weekend. Xiao Junjun still has a few days of classes to go to."
"You still miss Yuhao." said Mrs. Ning.
"Yuhao and his brother are so good to Xiao Junjun, Xiao Junjun will never forget it." Su Xueqing said, "It just so happens that the two brothers have finished their high school entrance examinations and college entrance examinations, so they can have more rest."
"Yuhao said he wanted to go out for fun." Mrs. Ning said.
"Are you taking him out to play?" Su Xueqing asked.
"No, if we go out to play in such hot weather, won't we get sunburned to death?" Mrs. Ning said, "Their father and I have something else to do, so we won't take them out to play."
"Will they agree?" Su Xueqing asked.
"You have to agree even if you don't agree." Mrs. Ning said, "After a few years, they can go and play on their own."
"..." Su Xueqing understood. No wonder Ning Yuhao always said that his parents were unreliable. Sister Ning and Brother Ning always had things to deal with. They couldn't always accompany Ning Yuhao. Of course, this couldn't be blamed on Sister Ning and her husband.
"It's summer vacation now, and we still have to find someone to teach Yuhao. We can't relax before the college entrance examination." Mrs. Ning said, "Yurong is better. He has already taken the college entrance examination and can rest for a while. But it's best for him to read more books, because he still has to take exams in college."
"Don't be too nervous." Su Xueqing said, "You can still play a little."
"Did Xiaojunjun have a chance to play?" asked Mrs. Ning.
"Yes, when we hire a tutor during the summer vacation, we also have to let her rest. We can't let her study seven days a week." Su Xueqing said, "We also take her out to play. We take her out to play two or three times a year, so that she can see more of the scenery outside."
Su Xueqing and her husband are particularly concerned about Xiao Wenjun's affairs. They try to let Xiao Wenjun know more about the world. Xiao Wenjun has not yet graduated from school, and her family and teachers can still teach Xiao Wenjun more. When Xiao Wenjun graduates from school and enters society, the people in society will be more complicated.
"Your arrangement is good." said Mrs. Ning.
Wei Shanshan was dating someone, but she didn't tell Amelia Su early on, so Amelia Su and her husband found out from others. This made Amelia Su very angry, so she went to find Wei Shanshan on purpose and blocked her at her residence.
"Are you dating someone?" Amelia Su asked.
"Yes." Wei Shanshan nodded.
"Why don't you tell your family?" Amelia Su said.
"Didn't grandma tell you?" Wei Shanshan said.
In the past, whenever Wei Shanshan had something to say, Su's mother would tell Amelia Su directly. This was also the reason why Wei Shanshan did not let Su's mother know when she went to relocate her household registration. Wei Shanshan knew that in Su's mother's heart, she ranked behind Amelia Su.
"Your grandma also knows?" Su Yamei opened her eyes wide. She was very shocked when she found out that Wei Shanshan was dating someone, but she didn't go to Su's mother.
Last time, Su's mother didn't know that Wei Shanshan had moved her household registration, and Su Yamei thought that Su's mother and her people didn't know that Wei Shanshan was dating someone.
"I know." Wei Shanshan said, "I met him outside. Mom, it's great that you know about this. I'll bring him to your house some other day. Although my household registration is no longer with you, you are my biological parents after all, so I still have to bring my boyfriend to meet you."
"You... where are you from?" Amelia Su asked, "What kind of person is he, how much is his monthly salary, how did you know him, you..."
"It was someone my aunt knows who introduced us, and my aunt has also made inquiries." Wei Shanshan said, "He is a counselor at the university, and he has been working since he graduated from university. He is from the south city, and his family has their own house. The salary is not too low, and if we work hard, we can buy a house."
Wei Shanshan is quite satisfied with her boyfriend. When they stand together, they are about the same height. In fact, the man is a little taller, but you can't tell. Wei Shanshan also asked her boyfriend some questions. She even went to her boyfriend's home and saw the house. The house is pretty good, but the furniture and other things are not ready yet. They have to wait until they are married to prepare them to see what the woman likes.
The target's mother said that their family would prepare all the appliances and furniture, so Wei Shanshan didn't need to prepare anything. The betrothal money had to be divided into two parts, one for Wei Shanshan and one for Su Yamei and her husband.
The man's family knew that if they didn't give Amelia Su and her husband a penny, it would be difficult to hold the wedding banquet, so it would be better to give some money to avoid disaster. After the wedding banquet, Wei Shanshan could treat Amelia Su and her husband however she wanted. People still have to be a little smoother and not too sharp. The man mainly wanted Wei Shanshan to look good, and everyone else to look good.
Wei Shanshan naturally had no objection. The reason why the man's family divided the betrothal money in this way was partly because they were worried that Amelia Su would not give Wei Shanshan a dowry. It would be better for them to divide the betrothal money directly in this way. As for whether it was in line with the rules and whether it would have a bad influence, it was a different era now, so they should not be so feudal and superstitious.
“You…your aunt introduced you to it?” Amelia Su said, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
"What did I tell you?" Wei Shanshan sneered, "Didn't you think that just finding someone who works in a factory would be enough? He said there's a job and a salary. Girls shouldn't think too much and don't think about marrying someone above their station. Don't end up like Sister Xiuxiu."
As early as last year, Amelia Su told Wei Shanshan that she should not expect Amelia Su to introduce her to a rich second-generation man. It was indeed impossible for Amelia Su to introduce a rich second-generation man to Wei Shanshan. The rich second-generation man looked down on Wei Shanshan. If Wei Shanshan was reluctant to be with someone, her life would not be easy in the future.
Su Xueqing married into the Ning family. She knew that marrying into a wealthy family would indeed be looked down upon by some people. The Ning family was more powerful, and those people were nice to Su Xueqing, so Su Xueqing could live a better life. If the Ning family had any opinions about Su Xueqing, Su Xueqing's life would be much worse. Even if Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing did not live with her in-laws, her in-laws could still say something about her.
Not every family can find the right partner to marry and live an ordinary life like the Ning family. This is also a kind of happiness.
"I'll bring the person to you in a few days, and you can ask him." Wei Shanshan said, "You can also go and ask around."
Wei Shanshan was not very satisfied with the people her colleagues introduced to her. Those people were basically relatives of her colleagues, and they were not very good people. Some of them were old and had high standards, and they had all kinds of problems. Wei Shanshan would never agree to such people. Blind dates are like this, you will always meet some ugly people.
The colleague introduced her three or four times, but Wei Shanshan was not satisfied, and the colleague was not very happy either. The colleague thought that she was looking up to Wei Shanshan. Wei Shanshan did not agree just to make her colleague happy, but still had to refuse.
After Wei Shanshan got a boyfriend, she told her colleagues and asked them not to introduce her to anyone. When her colleagues learned about Wei Shanshan's boyfriend, they had to admit that Wei Shanshan's current boyfriend was indeed better than the one she had introduced to her before.
"Your aunt..." Amelia Su opened her mouth. She really couldn't say with a clear conscience that Amelia Su would cheat Wei Shanshan. "Marriage is a lifelong thing. You'd better think it over carefully."
"I've thought it through clearly." Wei Shanshan said, "Although I've only been with him for about a month, I think he's okay. I've met his family."
“You’re meeting his parents now?” Amelia Su was surprised.
"We have to see their family situation." Wei Shanshan said, "He took me to see his house, where we will live after we get married. It's not bad, a self-built house with a living room and bedrooms on each floor. The only difference is that the kitchen is shared. If we eat at home, we have to pay for the food every month."
It's always better to see it with your own eyes than to hear others say it.
Wei Shanshan felt pretty good. The Ke family was quite sincere. Some of the other daughters-in-law of the Ke family were not as good as Wei Shanshan. Wei Shanshan was considered to be in a good condition. If Wei Shanshan married there, she would not be at the bottom of the society. Everyone had a floor, and they rarely met except when they ate together. There were bathrooms on every floor.
"Do you have anything else to ask?" Wei Shanshan asked.
“…” Amelia Su didn’t know what to ask for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, “You can’t not give the betrothal money.”
"Of course, I have to give a betrothal gift." Wei Shanshan said, "If I don't give a betrothal gift, others will treat me as if I'm free, and their attitude towards me may be bad."
This is how society works. If a woman doesn't ask for a dowry, she will be looked down upon by the man. The dowry a woman asks for is basically based on the men in the same region. If she gives too little, people will say that she married casually.
Amelia Su didn't say anything else after all, but went back. Maybe it was because Wei Shanshan's attitude was too tough, and Wei Shanshan dared to look directly at Amelia Su, so Amelia Su was at a disadvantage. It was also possible that Amelia Su felt that Wei Shanshan had not brought her partner home yet, and she would say something else when Wei Shanshan brought her partner home.
When Amelia Su returned home, Wei Dashan asked, "Did you quarrel with Shan Shan?"
