Chapter 379 Don’t Wear Gang
When school started in September, Ma Mengjiao's younger brother Ma Yiming did not go to school as expected, and no matter how Ma Minglong and Zhao Yufeng tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
I just don’t want to go to school and I just don’t want to learn.
What should I do? Should I really send it to her sister?
Zhao Yufeng and Ma Minglong were considering whether to send their son to Beijing when they received a letter from their daughter.
He said he had something to do and asked them to come to Beijing.
The couple was thinking about whether they should let them meet their future son-in-law, so they dressed up nicely. This also happened to fulfill Ma Yiming's wish, and he followed his parents directly to Beijing.
Ma Mengjiao and Cao Yang went to the train station to pick him up. After a brief greeting, Ma Minglong and Zhao Yufeng praised Cao Yang as if he was the only one in the world.
Cao Yang was praised so much that he felt a little overwhelmed.
"Meng Jiao, why did you call us here? Do you want to let us meet your future son-in-law? Didn't we tell you in the letter that your parents won't interfere with what kind of partner you look for, as long as you like him/her." Zhao Yufeng said.
In fact, she could probably guess why her daughter asked them to come over, but she was not sure.
Ma Minglong also said, "That's right. It's not like before when parents made the final decision on marriage. Now children can find their own partners and find whoever they like."
"Besides, we are very satisfied with our son-in-law. What a nice guy he is."
After hearing what the two said, Cao Yang rubbed his nose guiltily.
At this point, Ma Mengjiao was still a little afraid of her parents. She said, "Mom and Dad will tell you later."
Zhao Yufeng laughed, "This kid is so mysterious."
Cao Yang picked us up in a car. We got out of the train station and got into the car. It was the first time for the family of three to ride in a car, and it was extremely novel.
Last year, when Zhao Guobing and Xu Hongyan came back, they said they were riding in a sedan. Humph, they are riding in a sedan now.
And they were riding in their son-in-law's car.
"Uncle and aunt, little brother, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Cao Yang asked in the car.
"No, we just had a bite on the train last night," Zhao Yufeng replied.
Ma Mengjiao said, "Mom and Dad, let's go eat first and talk while we eat."
"Okay, I don't know what it is, it's so mysterious, are you saying it's not okay now?"
Ma Mengjiao, "I'll tell you later."
Just for a while, instead of going to Gu’s restaurant, they went to another hotel. Cao Yang asked for a private room and ordered the food first.
After ordering the dishes, Zhao Yufeng asked, "Can we tell you now? What's the matter?"
Ma Minglong, Ma Yiming and Zhao Yufeng all looked at her. Ma Mengjiao's heart was pounding. Although she was the one who planned this, she was still a little scared when it came to confessing it.
She whispered, "Mom and Dad, I...I'm pregnant."
"What? What did you say?" This was Zhao Yufeng's voice. She stood up suddenly and asked in shock.
Ma Minglong was also angry, his face was dark and scary, and he said coldly, "Meng Jiao, what did you say? Are you pregnant?"
Cao Yang, "Uncle and aunt, I will be responsible for Meng Jiao. I called you two here to discuss this matter."
Zhao Yufeng covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Ma Mengjiao and Cao Yang with the other, seeming to be so angry that he couldn't speak.
Ma Minglong was also very disappointed. "How can you, a girl, do such a thing? How can your parents put their faces?"
Ma Mengjiao was frightened by her parents' behavior and started crying. "Mom and Dad, I'm only one month pregnant. If Cao Yang and I get married now, no one will know."
Ma Minglong and Zhao Yufeng didn't want to talk. When Third Sister Gu came over and talked to them, they could probably predict in their hearts that something like this might happen in the future.
But when it really happened, I still couldn't help feeling a little angry.
Getting pregnant before marriage is not a good thing. Even if you get married now, your relatives can probably guess it, especially those in Beijing.
But now that things have come to this, there is no other way but to get married.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds, and Ma Minglong looked at Cao Yang. "Now that things have come to this, I won't say anything more. Do your parents know about this?"
Cao Yang nodded, "I've told my parents."
Ma Minglong said, "Okay, let's meet with the parents this afternoon or tomorrow to discuss this matter."
Cao Yang, "Uncle and aunt, you have been traveling for several days and you must be tired. You should have a good rest today. I will ask my parents to come over to discuss this matter tomorrow."
Ma Minglong: "That's fine."
Ma Mengjiao said, "When the time comes, you can bring your uncle and aunt directly to my uncle's house."
Cao Yang nodded, "Okay."
Because they were mentally prepared, Ma Minglong and Zhao Yufeng didn't say much, but they didn't eat much either. When asked, they were just too angry to eat.
After the meal, Ma Mengjiao asked Cao Yang to settle the bill and let her go. After Cao Yang left, only her family was left, so Ma Mengjiao spoke out what was in her heart.
"Mom and Dad, don't blame me or think I'm bringing shame to you. If I hadn't used this method, I wouldn't have been able to marry into their family."
"He is a second-generation rich man, so he will definitely marry someone of equal status. He will not marry someone like me who comes from the countryside."
Zhao Yufeng said unhappily, "That man opened a shop for you, why wouldn't he marry you now that things have come to this?"
Ma Mengjiao said, "Mom, you said that Cao Yang could change from being Zhao Nannan's partner to being my partner, but who knows, he might become another woman's partner in a few months."
All the rich second-generations who hang out with him are like that, they change girlfriends faster than they change clothes.
Ma Yiming said, "I think my sister is right. If you meet a good guy, you have to make a move. Otherwise, what will you do if he runs away? As long as you successfully marry and become the mistress of that family, your status will be unshakable."
Ma Mengjiao said, "That's what I think. Otherwise, Mom and Dad, if we don't rely on external forces, when will we be able to turn things around? When will we be able to live in a big villa like our cousin Gu Jianhua?"
Ma Minglong was disdainful, "He just relies on his wife. If his wife's family was powerful, he would be farming at home like us."
Zhao Yufeng was not happy to hear this. "What nonsense are you talking about? Cousin Jianhua was a soldier and fought on the battlefield before, so he can be no different."
Isn't this degrading to her family?
Ma Minglong stopped talking.
Ma Mengjiao also said, "Dad, don't say that. We still need our cousin to support us tomorrow. When I marry here, you guys in Meng Province won't be able to help me. I still need my cousin to support me."
Ma Mengjiao is not stupid. She certainly knows that it is not easy to marry into a wealthy family, so she told Cao Yang and his parents how powerful her uncle's family is.
Even if he is not her biological uncle but her cousin, it doesn't matter. It is enough to have this kind of relationship. She doesn't need them to pay anything. She just needs a title.
Ma Minglong: "I know, I know. I'm not stupid."
Ma Mengjiao said, "There are also parents. When I went to their home, their parents asked me what they did in their hometown. I told them they ran a supermarket."
"Don't let anything slip tomorrow."
Zhao Yufeng said, "Mengjiao, what should we do if your partner wants to visit us one day? We don't have a supermarket."
Ma Mengjiao said, "Don't worry, Mom, he won't go. Besides, I'm pregnant now, and we won't go back to our hometown for three to five years."
"Besides, I own a jewelry store, and I can make thousands of dollars a month. I'll give you the money, and you can open a real supermarket."
Ma Minglong was quite proud when he heard his daughter say this, "My daughter is really smart. This is what I inherited."
