Chapter 383: Can I get married if my family objects to it?
During the exhibition, Lu Changxiao was absent-minded.
Fu Xingchen saw it but did not ask her.
When she got home, Lu Changxiao asked her grandmother about Xiaoli's bun shop.
Liang Qiaoli said, "The buns in Xiaoli's bun shop really taste good. Sometimes when I don't want to make breakfast in the morning, I will go to her shop to buy them. After she got married, I didn't like her man, so I stopped going."
It turned out that Xiaoli's father died when he was 10 years old, and his mother had been raising him.
Xiaoli's mother was a hardworking person. She opened a bun shop and had a good business.
After Xiaoli grew up, she also helped in the shop.
With Xiaoli's help, Xiaoli's mother could relax a little.
She thought that as long as she finished her daughter's lifelong event, she would have completed her mission.
The neighbor next door saw that Xiaoli was hardworking and beautiful, so he wanted to introduce him to a partner.
The man is honest and responsible, has a job, and his family is simple, with two brothers and a sister, and his parents are both working.
The man fell in love with Xiaoli at first sight and asked a matchmaker to ask what Xiaoli meant.
At this time, Xiaoli hesitated and told her mother that she had a date.
Xiaoli's mother asked to meet, but the man refused and refused to show up.
Xiaoli's mother asked someone to inquire and found out that the person Xiaoli was talking to now had no job. There were four brothers in the family, and the family of six was crowded into two rooms.
Xiaoli's mother told her daughter that she couldn't marry into such a family, and she wouldn't even have a place to live if she got married.
Xiaoli refused to listen and said that she had both hands and feet and could live a good life without the help of her parents.
Xiaoli's mother threatened to commit suicide, but her daughter refused to listen, which made her mother so angry that she was hospitalized.
During this period, Xiaoli brought the man she was dating to the hospital to visit her mother.
Seeing that her man was less than 1.7 meters tall, 5 years older than Xiaoli, and looked unruly, Xiaoli's mother refused to agree to this marriage no matter what.
During the argument between the mother and daughter, Xiaoli made her mother faint.
After finally saving her mother, Xiaoli did not dare to provoke her mother again, and did not mention this man for a while.
Because of this incident, Xiaoli's mother became weaker and weaker, and the store had to hire an employee.
...
Xiaoli's mother thought her daughter had let it go.
As a result, not long after, the man brought his mother to Xiaoli's mother to discuss their marriage.
Xiaoli's mother was confused and asked her daughter, only to find out that her daughter was pregnant.
Things had developed to this point, and Xiaoli was unwilling to have an abortion, and she had to get married, so Xiaoli's mother had to bite the bullet and agree to the marriage. After
the marriage, Xiaoli's man moved into Xiaoli's house and became the boss of the steamed buns shop.
His mother also said something sarcastic, saying that Xiaoli's mother had no son, so she gave her a son to take care of her in her old age.
Unexpectedly, not long after Xiaoli gave birth to her daughter, Xiaoli's mother was diagnosed with a serious illness.
Xiaoli did not listen to her mother's words in marriage, but she was still very filial to her mother and immediately sent her mother to the hospital for treatment.
The treatment costs a lot of money, and Xiaoli's mother has saved a lot of money from running a steamed bun shop over the years, which is enough to pay for the medical expenses.
When Xiaoli got married, her mother gave the money to her daughter as a dowry.
Xiaoli took the passbook and hurried to the bank to withdraw money, but was told that the money had been withdrawn.
After questioning her husband, she learned that the money had been lent to her mother-in-law.
Xiaoli said that the money was to save her life, and asked him to go back quickly and get the money back, and she would not care about stealing the money. However,
his partner said that the disease might not be cured, and by then the money would be gone and the person would be gone, so it would be better to use the money where it was needed.
The two had a big fight over money for the first time after their marriage, and Xiaoli rushed to her husband's house to ask for money.
The money was used by her mother-in-law to buy a house for her brothers-in-law, and was not taken back. Because there was no money for treatment, Xiaoli's mother died soon after.
The two of them were in a cold war for some time, but Xiaoli was coaxed by the man and continued to live their lives.
After the birth of their daughter, the man fired the employees in the store on the grounds that there was an increase in the family and he wanted to cut expenses.
Without employees, someone had to do the work, and the man only cared about collecting money, so the work of the bun shop fell on Xiaoli's head.
If someone else had to take care of the child and work at the same time, there would definitely be constant quarrels, but the man was sweet and coaxed people, and Xiaoli was coaxed by him without any complaints.
...
After listening to what grandma said, Lu Changxiao was silent. After a while he asked, "Will the money taken away by her mother-in-law be returned?"
Liang Qiaoli said, "That family is a bottomless pit. Not only did they not get the money back, but they also subsidized a lot with the income from the steamed buns shop."
Lu Changxiao said, "This man has not put his identity in the right place. Now that he is married and has his own family, he should worry more about his family. If he can manage his family well, he can help others when he has the ability."
Fu Xingchen said, "Let me predict. Their steamed buns shop should be able to last until Xiaoli gives birth."
Lu Changxiao asked what he meant.
Fu Xingchen said, "Given his character as a man, once Xiaoli gives birth, there will be no one to work in the store, and the store will not be able to continue. I guess he will sell it."
Lu Changxiao was puzzled: "The store is doing well, why sell it? When Xiaoli gives birth, can't she just let her in-laws come over to help?"
Fu Xingchen said, "If Xiaoli's mother-in-law is willing to help her, will she still open a bun shop with a baby in her belly and a baby on her back?"
Lu Changxiao still didn't believe it.
...
In the evening, Shen Jiale came back and saw that his daughter was full of worries, so he came to ask.
Lu Changxiao asked, "Mom, do you have to choose a marriage arranged by your family to be happy? Isn't marriage free?"
Shen Jiale said, "Not necessarily. Family members who really care about the best for the child are just helping you screen in advance as experienced people to remind you what kind of people you can't marry. The final choice is in your hands."
Lu Changxiao said unhappily, "Sister has no experience in love herself, but she opposes me and Kou Xiangrong being together. I don't accept it."
Shen Jiale patted her daughter's hand: "You can just use my sister's opinion as a reference. You are not going to get married right away. Observe the marriage life of people around you. Imagine if it were you, could you handle all kinds of relationships?
Don't think that this kind of thing will not happen to you. Life is ever-changing. No one can avoid these things. Sooner or later, you have to face them.
Marriage is like an investment. Happiness is the return we want. Before you invest a lot of emotions and money in it, you need to think carefully."
Lu Changxiao nodded: "I will."
