Cheng's mother was a teacher, and several members of her family also worked in schools. Her husbands and sons also had good jobs, so she always secretly felt superior to others.
She is incredibly picky about her children's partners, comparing everything from appearance and height to family background.
The wives of his three sons were all daughters of friends and relatives, and they all had respectable jobs.
In this family, eight people have formal jobs, and even the youngest daughter, Cheng Jiao, has a temporary job.
In the surrounding area, Cheng's mother had never seen a family more powerful than theirs.
If Jiaojiao really wins over Zhou Jingyun, then she will have a son-in-law who is a factory director. According to her eldest brother, Zhou Jingyun is not only successful, but also tall and strong. It would be a great honor to take him out.
Just as Cheng's mother was thinking and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, her two children pushed open the door and came in.
Upon seeing the two, Cheng's mother immediately asked, "So? When is Zhou Jingyun coming to pay a visit?"
Although Cheng's mother really wanted to meet Zhou Jingyun, she felt that as Zhou Jingyun's future mother-in-law, she needed to be more reserved. The first meeting shouldn't be her going to him; instead, he should bring generous gifts to visit her.
However, in my anxiety, I blurted out the question.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Cheng Jiao's eyes welled up with tears, and she collapsed onto the sofa, burying her face in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
Cheng Ming, standing to the side, also looked rather unwell. He wanted to comfort his sister, but seemed unsure of how.
When Cheng's mother saw this, her heart skipped a beat: Could it be? Could it have failed?
That's what she thought, and that's what she asked.
Seeing her daughter crying, the eldest son nodded, and then Cheng's mother asked in confusion, "How is that possible?"
"Our Jiaojiao is so beautiful, and our family is so well-off, why shouldn't Zhou Jingyun agree?"
Cheng Ming was speechless when he heard his mother's words: they were indeed just as confident when they went to the cryptocurrency market.
However, reality dealt them a heavy blow!
Seeing her eldest son looking so devastated, Cheng's mother quickly asked, "Eldest son, say something!"
Why is your sister so upset?
Cheng Ming was speechless: What could he say?
Cheng Jiao, however, stood up and yelled at her mother: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! When I took a liking to Zhou Jingyun, that educated youth Ruan hadn't come to Bicheng to work in the countryside yet."
If you hadn't opposed me back then and supported me in pursuing Zhou Jingyun, I would already be Zhou Jingyun's girlfriend now.
Then the person he's protecting today will be me, Cheng Jiao!
"..."
Cheng Ming was speechless when he heard his sister's words, but that was the truth.
However, Cheng's mother said dismissively, "Jiaojiao, it was Mom who was wrong before."
But now Mom supports you!
This is a new society where people value freedom in love. If you like Zhou Jingyun, your mother supports you in pursuing him. So what if that educated youth, Ruan, is Zhou Jingyun's girlfriend?
They're just dating, not getting married.
Besides, in a relationship, the one who isn't liked should be the one to leave. If you can win Zhou Jingyun's heart, wouldn't he obediently break up with Ruan Zhiqing and be with you?
"mom……"
Cheng Ming was greatly surprised when he heard his mother's words. Was this still his mother who valued benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness?
However, Cheng Ming had only said a little bit when he was interrupted by his mother.
Cheng's mother took Cheng Jiao's hand and said earnestly, "Jiaojiao, feelings aren't just about liking or disliking someone."
Marriage should be based on matching social status. Our family is so well-off. If you gradually let Zhou Jingyun know about it, he will definitely be moved.
Even if he doesn't understand the concept of marrying someone of equal social standing, you can still get to know his family, right?
His parents definitely know better than anyone how much benefit one can gain from marrying a woman from a well-connected family. You could try to get to know his parents…”
Cheng's mother was interrupted by Cheng Jiao halfway through her sentence.
A hint of mockery appeared on Cheng Jiao's tear-streaked face as she taunted her mother, "Family background?"
hehe!
What are my family compared to them?
Mom, do you know whose daughter Ruan Zhiqing is?
She is the daughter of Commander Ruan of Haicheng. Her whole family is in the military. Her uncle's rank is even higher than her father's. Tell me, what do I have to compare with her?
Do I have a father who is a division commander, or an older brother who is a battalion commander? Or do I have a mother who is a military doctor?
As Cheng Jiao said this, her heart ached terribly: her once proud family background was simply no match for Ruan Miaomiao.
Looking at the mocking smile on her daughter's face, Cheng's mother was shocked by the other party's words.
After a long while, he murmured:
"How is that possible?"
She quickly looked at her eldest son, but seeing that Cheng Ming did not refute her, but nodded with a heavy expression, she realized that her daughter was not lying.
In an instant, she realized she was wrong!
Our whole family was wrong!
A man who can catch the eye of a teacher's daughter must be even more outstanding than they imagine.
The thought that her daughter had lost such a good marriage because of her obstruction brought tears to Cheng's mother's eyes.
Beside him, Cheng Ming looked at the distressed mother and daughter, unable to offer any words of comfort.
After all, he was in even more pain than the other two.
They almost became Zhou Jingyun's girlfriend (mother-in-law), but they had actually worked with Zhou Jingyun before.
