During the two days of the holiday, Li Jing and Zhou Dagui went to another city together and did not return until the evening of the last day of the holiday.
When they got home, Zhou Yang had not returned yet. When Li Jing and Zhou Dagui had dinner and were taking a walk back, Zhou Yang happened to be home.
Because they had to go to work tomorrow, Zhou Yang and Shen Xinyi had no evening entertainment activities planned for today, so they came back early.
"Xiao Yang, have you been out with Xinyi these days?" Li Jing couldn't help but ask as soon as she saw him.
"Well, we went to look at cars." Zhou Yang answered casually.
"Looking at cars? Xinyi is going to buy a car? Tell me in detail." Li Jing became excited when she heard it. She sat on the sofa and waved at him, as if she wanted to talk.
"Mom, I'm all sweaty. I'm going to take a shower first." Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat and he intended to take a shower and escape.
"Why are you washing? How much time can a few words take up? Come here!"
Li Jing's words fell silent, and Zhou Yang wailed inwardly. Resigned to his fate, he walked over, sat down on the sofa, and answered honestly, "We visited several 4S stores, compared prices, and finally decided on the T3. It's not a big car, but its performance is good for the price, making it suitable for women. The total price was 118,000 yuan."
"Ordered?"
"Not yet. Xinyi's company's apartment will only be rented out at the end of August. Even if she moves out early, the rent will still be deducted from her salary. It's a waste not to live there, and we can also save some gas money. So, we plan to find time to get the certificate in the near future, and then when her lease expires, she can move in with us, and then we can buy a car. This place is indeed a bit far from her company, and it's too troublesome to take the bus." Zhou Yang explained in detail.
"Yeah, that's fine." Li Jing thought this arrangement was reasonable, so she didn't comment. However, she asked, "What color are you considering for the car? Red?"
"Uh...silver." Zhou Yang instinctively knew something was wrong and quickly said, "Mom, silver is also very nice. The T3 model doesn't suit red. There are not many red ones. The red ones are really ugly."
Li Jing immediately frowned, took out her mobile phone, searched for the car on the browser, and looked at the picture for several seconds.
"this?"
"Yes, that's it."
Li Jing's frown deepened, and then she rejected it outright. "No, change it. I have no objection to the other things, but the color of this car must be red! This car is different. It's a dowry, for the wedding. How can it be white? No, no, white is not auspicious and has a bad meaning. Red is good, so let's buy red."
"Mom, red doesn't look good!" Zhou Yang had a headache and helplessly pointed out a red T3 on her phone. "Look, red doesn't go with this car. It's so ugly. Besides, aren't wedding dresses all white? Cars don't have to be so particular."
"What do you know! The wedding dress is the wedding dress, and the car is the car! Just listen to me, you must change it to red. If you bring me a white car, I will paint it red for you." Li Jing's attitude was extremely difficult.
"Mom, it doesn't have to be red, right?" Zhou Yang tried to struggle one last time, but unfortunately, it was completely useless.
"You must listen to me on this matter, otherwise I will never let you go!"
"Then... Xinyi and I will discuss it again." Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Zhou Yang had no choice but to compromise, "Mom, if you're okay, I'll go wash it..."
Zhou Yang stood up with a headache, not knowing how to tell Shen Xinyi. Before he could take a step, Li Jing grabbed his arm and pulled him back to sit. "Why are you so anxious? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet!"
"Mom, is there anything else?"
"Let me ask you, did Li Yanying buy this car, or did Shen Xinyi buy it herself?" Li Jing asked with a questioning look on her face.
"Uh, isn't this different?" Zhou Yang was stunned and didn't understand.
"Why did I give birth to such a fool like you!" Li Jing glared at him with a look of disdain. "Tell me first, who's going to buy the car?"
Zhou Yang rolled his eyes and was about to say he didn't know when Li Jing's face hardened, "Don't think you can fool me. I gave birth to you, and I don't know that? I know what you're doing as soon as you stick your butt out!"
Zhou Yang: ...
What else can I do? I can only tell the truth.
"Xinyi saved the money herself, so she should have bought it herself."
"She bought the car herself!" Li Jing's voice immediately rose a notch. "Li Yanying said before that she didn't have money for renovations, which means she won't pay for the renovations! Now that you're getting married, Xinyi is still buying the car herself? It seems that her daughter's wedding, her mother, won't pay anything? She's so shameless! Xiao Yang, I'm not saying anything, but Chen Xinyi's mother is really no good. She comes from a poor place and she really has to calculate every penny. She's really a petty and shabby person, full of poverty!"
Li Jing raised her eyebrows and complained several times in various ways of dissatisfaction. Then, with a nervous look on her face, she asked Zhou Yang, "Xiao Yang, you have been to their hometown before and met some of Chen Xinyi's relatives. Tell me honestly, are all their relatives poor? After you two get married, won't they all come to ask for money? You have to know that marriage is a major event in life. This Phoenix Man and the Demon Subduing Land are absolutely unacceptable. Although Chen Xinyi doesn't have a brother, could she be a female Phoenix Man? Once you get married, her true nature will be exposed, and a bunch of relatives will suddenly appear. Then our family will definitely be dragged down!"
Li Jing looked very panicked. Oh my god, the more she thought about it, the scarier it became.
Zhou Yang, who felt that she was getting more and more outrageous, was speechless and hurriedly explained on Shen Xinyi's behalf, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Xinyi's relatives are all very nice and polite. Her relatives didn't come to Wu City to develop. Besides, Auntie came to Wu City a long time ago and her relationship with her relatives is just average. What's more, Auntie and Xinyi are not the kind of people who can't figure things out. The problem you're worried about is impossible."
"How can I not worry about her family's situation? I'm worried about you!" Zhou Yang spoke up for Shen Xinyi so tirelessly that Li Jing felt uncomfortable. She complained with a sullen look on her face, "Are you stupid? Your Aunt Song's Xiao Li was such a good girl, a civil servant. Her family was well-matched with ours, and yet you're so stubborn that you don't want to break up with Shen Xinyi."
"Mom, relationships can't be forced. I like Xinyi, and we're getting married now, so don't bring up these unnecessary things."
"Okay, okay, okay, a grown-up son is no longer under his mother's control. I'm old and I can't control you anymore. Do whatever you want!"
"Mom, what are you talking about again?" Zhou Yang said helplessly, "Except for getting married, where else have I not listened to you? If I get married, I will definitely find someone I like!"
"Except for getting married, do you listen to me?"
"Of course, it's a must." Zhou Yang immediately made the old lady happy with a face full of assurance.
"Okay then. The car must be red. Also, let Li Yanying buy the car. You and Shen Xinyi can use the money to decorate the house first. You can start with the hard furnishings."
Zhou Yang: ...
He has a hard time.
