"that......"
"Useless." Grandma Qiu didn't give Ye Beiping a chance to speak and directly retorted angrily: "You're the best at spending money, but you can't even handle your mother-in-law. You still want to get married. What good are you?"
"I......"
Ye Beiping's mouth gaped open instantly, the words stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to say them.
The next second, Grandma Qiu said, "Marriage involves two families. If you can't even handle this, how can you expect to do business? Do you know how complicated business is? If you can't even manage the simplest family relationships, how will you survive in the outside world?"
Forehead......
At this moment, Ye Beiping really wanted to say that his awful mother-in-law was not someone that could be easily managed in ordinary family relationships.
However, Grandma Qiu was not wrong.
But he muttered under his breath, somewhat unconvinced, "Even emperors couldn't manage their three palaces and six courtyards properly in the past."
"fart."
Unexpectedly, Grandma Qiu overheard Ye Beiping's mutterings and immediately swore at him.
"Have you been reading too many books lately? In the past, there was no scheming or infighting among the emperor's concubines. They were all very well-behaved. Those storytelling stories and tales about the emperor's concubines vying for favor are just for attracting attention."
"The rules and regulations of the real imperial harem were very strict, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Not only were the harem members forbidden from interfering in politics, but even if there was jealousy and rivalry among the harem members, they would pay those eunuchs to compete for favor. How could such a thing as a death possibly occur?"
These words left Ye Beiping speechless.
It seems that's true; I've really been poisoned by those TV dramas.
If an emperor can't even manage his harem, how can he handle national affairs?
Seeing Ye Beiping's discomfiture, Grandma Qiu sighed and looked at Su Xinyi with some emotion, saying, "It's a good thing your father supports you, otherwise I really don't know how difficult your life would be."
As if deeply moved, Grandma Qiu's eyes were full of memories of the past.
Su Xinyi forced a smile and said, "Grandma Qiu, I feel very happy right now."
"Happiness?" Grandma Qiu pondered the word, then chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Perhaps you feel happy now, but what about later? In three to five years, seven or eight, when a woman is old, what will a man be like..."
Noticing Ye Beiping's presence, Grandma Qiu left the rest of her words unsaid.
The meaning is already quite clear.
It's simply that after a woman gets seven or eight years old, men stop looking at her.
Upon hearing these words, Su Xinyi and Su Xinwan also glared at Ye Beiping with hostility.
This left Ye Beiping somewhat confused. What did he say?
He didn't say anything, so how did it turn out like this?
I didn't know what Grandma Qiu and Su Xinyi were talking about in the kitchen the past two days, but hearing these words today made me grit my teeth.
He thought to himself: Well, I spend all my time at home pacifying my wife, and you're here here undermining me every day.
Grandma Qiu glanced at the two sisters one last time, then smiled and warned Ye Beiping: "You brat, let me tell you, Xinyi is my granddaughter now. If you dare to bully her, see if this old lady will let you off the hook."
"Don't think I'm too old. In seven or eight years, I'll be able to take care of you too."
"I..." Ye Beiping, who had no words to express his suffering, showed a bitter expression and said with a wronged look, "How could I dare? Grandma Qiu, please don't add fuel to the fire."
No wonder my wife gets so sentimental every time we go back from Grandma Qiu's place.
Talking about these things every day, how can it not be brainwashing?
Ye Beiping was speechless when it came to Grandma Qiu, this old lady.
If you were to say she's good, she is indeed a nice person, at least she treats Su Xinyi impeccably. Even this model young man who respects the elderly and cares for the young couldn't get angry with her.
But you can't just slander them like that, can you?
The three men burst into laughter upon seeing Ye Beiping's expression.
It feels like we're making fun of him.
Lunch will be ready soon.
When it comes to meat, Su Xinwan is the happiest. She's a carnivore and can't live without meat.
Along the way, Ye Beiping observed Aunt Li more closely and even put some meat on her plate, afraid that she might feel embarrassed.
He mainly wanted Aunt Li to remember his kindness and take good care of Su Xinyi while he was away.
Grandma Qiu saw this scene but said nothing, continuing to eat with her head down, though she secretly approved of Ye Beiping's actions.
Even in the relationship between boss and employee, one must learn to show kindness.
Salary is secondary; as long as the employees have enough to live on, that's fine. The main thing is the relationship; people are emotional beings.
In this society, as long as the emotional connection is there, employees will naturally be extremely grateful to their boss.
Grandma Qiu thought Ye Beiping handled the situation quite well. Aunt Li was new and not very familiar with the place, so it was normal for her to be a little timid.
But Ye Beiping's move just now transformed Aunt Li's fear into gratitude.
