Chapter 147: No matter how poor you are, you can never be poor in education
"Oh my god!" Su Mei was stunned. She had always known that Huo Jianguo had a positive outlook on life, but she had never thought that he could be so rational and unwavering in maintaining their small family when facing the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Su Mei pried open Huo Jianguo's hand that was pinching her chin and asked him softly, "Is your protection for me unconditional?"
"Of course not. I will protect whoever is against me. I stand on the side of justice!" Huo Jianguo had a serious expression and spoke every word in a very straight tone.
This answer was very true, and Su Mei was very satisfied listening to it. If Huo Jianguo answered that he would protect her unconditionally, it would seem glib.
The more Su Mei spent time with Huo Jianguo, the more she felt that he was satisfactory in every aspect. Seeing him carefully apologize, Su Mei's anger subsided a lot:
"If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have come to the Huo family. If someone picks a fight with me again next time, I will really only come here to pay New Year's greetings when I come back.
Even if I don't want you to be my live-in son-in-law, I won't come here to suffer the humiliation!"
Although she is no longer angry with Huo Jianguo, Su Mei still wants to say some ugly things in advance. She is not afraid of these people making trouble, but life is too short and she doesn't want to waste her time on intrigue.
Instead of arguing with others and getting angry, she might as well learn more and enrich herself.
If she knew that she would be bullied once she stepped into the Huo family, she would not take the initiative to make herself uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I said this won't happen again, and it won't happen again." Huo Jianguo knew that Su Mei had a strong personality and would not give in easily.
He was very grateful that she could compromise with him, and he assured Su Mei: "I will take care of these things, don't worry!"
Seeing that Su Mei was coaxed, Huo Jianguo got up and walked outside.
Seeing that he was about to go out, Su Mei hurriedly called him: "Where are you going?"
"Ask Cheng Erxi to apologize to you!" Huo Jianguo didn't want Su Mei to suffer in vain.
Su Mei shook her head: "I know what you want to do. You want to tell my second sister-in-law that if she doesn't apologize to me, she will not give any subsidies to my second brother's three children in the future, right?"
When Su Mei came out of the house, she heard what Huo Jianguo said.
"Yes." Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei and nodded: "I use money to support this family and their children, and they still want to make my wife angry. How can this be justified?
Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."
"I don't want to talk." Su Mei looked at Huo Jianguo and shook her head. What's the point of talking? Even if she apologized, she would be unwilling to do so. It would be better to:
"Just as you said, I will stop giving the second wife money to raise her children. I don't want you to spend money to make me angry.
We will have our own children in the future, and we have our own families to take care of. Why should we raise the children of my second brother?"
Su Mei said this deliberately. Before she married Huo Jianguo, Huo Jianguo took care of his two brothers. In the future, Su Mei would help her brothers when she became rich. Family members support each other. It is a matter of course.
But Su Mei just wanted to test her position in Huo Jianguo's heart and see how much effect her words could have on Huo Jianguo.
However, Huo Jianguo hesitated at this time:
"The second brother has three sons. If I don't help him, he won't be able to send his three children to school. If they don't go to school, they will have no future.
Although I said in anger that I would not care about my nephews anymore, I can’t really ignore them. No matter how much conflict there is between adults... I can’t neglect the children!"
I have to say that Huo Jianguo is a very principled man.
He did not give up his bottom line just to please Su Mei. He was always clear-headed and upright, knowing what he should do and what he could do. More than a decade ago, when he was in primary school and high school, the whole country was in a state of famine, and the whole family was hungry and cold. Even so, the family did not let the smart Huo Jianguo drop out of school. The second brother said to Huo Jianguo at that time, "You are smart and you are good at studying, so you should study hard, and the rest will be left to your brothers." It was the two brothers who ran around the mountains every day, catching snakes and risking their lives to catch snakes in the mountains, and gave Huo Jianguo little by little. His current position is largely related to his knowledge. Even if the two brothers got married and started their own families and changed, it couldn't be a reason for Huo Jianguo to give up on them. Family relationships are complicated.
This attitude was completely within Su Mei's expectations. She knew in her heart that a man who was upright, sober and had a bottom line was truly worthy of trust.
It would be terrible if a man could abandon his family and all other emotions in order to please a woman.
Although Su Mei understood this, she still couldn't help wanting to be favored. She asked Huo Jianguo stubbornly:
"What if I absolutely forbid you to use the allowance to support my second brother's children? If you support them, I will quarrel with you and divorce you?"
"When we return to the army, I will give you the passbook and pay you directly. I will not use the army's allowance to subsidize them." Huo Jianguo's expression was very serious. He then said:
"If I don't take the subsidy, I have other ways to make money. My subsidy is used to raise our children, so I can make money in other ways to provide education expenses for my nephews. Do you have any opinion?"
"I have an opinion. Since you want to live with me, all the money you earn should be mine." Su Mei argued, and she herself felt that this was a bit unreasonable.
But how can it be considered a relationship if you don't do it? She crossed her arms and looked at Huo Jianguo quietly, wanting to see what Huo Jianguo could do to her!
Huo Jianguo also realized that Su Mei was unhappy and was deliberately picking on him. He suddenly took a step forward and pinched Su Mei's chubby face again.
He kissed her unexpectedly.
"Mmmmm~~~~" Su Mei was insane at the time: "You're crazy, why did you kiss me~~~Mmmmm~"
That angular mouth did not speak, but it quickly took the air from Su Mei's mouth. His tongue conquered the city and disturbed the spring water in Su Mei's heart.
The kiss was long and deep, making Su Mei blush.
"Now, do you still have any opinions?" Huo Jianguo saw Su Mei panting and begging, and leaned over to ask her in her ear. "If you have any opinions, then kiss until you have no more opinions."
"Aren't you being a scoundrel?" Su Mei was angry. "We are talking about serious matters. You can't fool around like this. Huo Jianguo, who taught you to do this?"
Your master taught you... Huo Jianguo thought silently in his heart.
Qin Zhengting said, when a woman is unreasonable, don't try to reason with her, it's useless to reason with her. A couple quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed. Sleeping is more effective than anything else.........
Huo Jianguo is unable to realize the method of sleeping together, but as a compromise, a kiss will probably have the same effect.
"You were the one who acted rogue first. We have problems to solve, but helping my nephew is not something that can be interrupted.
Not only my nephew, I will also take care of my older brothers' children if they don't have money to go to school. No matter how poor a person is, they must not be poor in education!
Reading makes people wise. If the nephews are not allowed to go to school, they will become the same people as my second brother and his wife in the future. Then ignorance will continue in the vicious cycle in the Huo family."
"You are not a billionaire with a huge fortune. You don't want to control everything. Can you control so many things?" Su Mei also did not fully agree with the saying that reading makes people wise:
"There are so many educated beasts in human form. How good do you think the children raised by my second brother and his wife can be? Now those three children are enough to make people hate them."
"Of course I know that studying is not 100% accurate," Huo Jianguo sighed, and he patiently said to Su Mei:
"But as a person, I just want to have a clear conscience. When I was in school, the whole country was suffering from famine. Before my second sister-in-law got married, my second brother also worked hard to support my education. In order to buy me a new pair of shoes, he went barefoot into the mountains to catch snakes. In order to exchange rice for me to take to school, he went to pick wild mushrooms.
No matter how bad he is now, I will always remember his kindness in the past. One should never forget one's roots!
Under the premise of ensuring our own quality of life, we should help them if we can. Su Mei, at my current level, my salary is actually quite high!
I help the children. Most of the children in the village do not have the opportunity to go to school. We cannot let the children not go to school because of the grudges between adults. I only help them with this one thing: going to school.
As for my second sister-in-law, I will make her apologize to you for what happened today, and I will make her respect you in the future!"
