Chapter 156
Li Xia's words completely chilled the atmosphere.
Fortunately, Hu's mother was well-informed and did not get angry when she heard this. She replied calmly, "Then open it."
The box is easy to open and you can see a thin gold necklace inside.
Without waiting for Li Xia to say anything, Hu's mother said gently, "It doesn't look good on me, so I'll give it to you. It's the child's filial piety anyway."
Wang Chengcai was so anxious that he almost went crazy, but Li Xia didn't understand what he meant and really took the necklace.
She couldn't hear the hidden meaning of other people's words, she just felt that she had got the gold necklace back by her own ability, and the pain eased a little.
Hu Qianqian felt very uncomfortable, but her mother held her hand under the table and didn't let her speak.
Mr. Hu had a frown on his face when he came in, but for some reason, his expression suddenly changed and he started chatting with Wang Yuexi about family matters with a smile.
Hu's mother also acted as if nothing had happened and started talking to Wang Mengmei.
When she heard that Wang Mengmei opened a restaurant on Changqing Street, Hu's mother happily said that she had been there before.
Regardless of whether she had really eaten it or pretended to have, Hu's mother was very warm and comfortable when chatting.
Li Xia noticed something was wrong at this moment, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Li Xia put the necklace into her pocket with a righteous look on her face. She disliked Wang Mengmei for just chatting about useless things with her and not getting to the point.
Today we came here to discuss marriage. Why are we talking about so many twists and turns without mentioning marriage?
Li Xia: "My dear, I think there are many good days at the end of the year, why don't we..."
Mother Hu smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, go see if the food is ready. Didn't you want to eat some milk steamed buns? Go and order one."
Turning around, Mother Hu asked: "I didn't hear you clearly just now. What did you say?"
Li Xia tried to regain her rhythm: "I said we should talk about what to do with the two children..."
"Ah, wife, did you lock our car just now?"
Mother Hu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's locked. Qianqian, take the key and go check it out. If it's not parked in the right place, move it."
Hu Qianqian obediently picked up the key.
Mother Hu said, "The car is parked quite far away. Take your time to look for it. Don't be in a hurry."
After sending Hu Qianqian away, Li Xia couldn't help it.
She said quickly, "My dear relatives, you see, we are very sincere today. This time, we are here mainly to discuss the future of our two children. Marriage is not a trivial matter. It takes at least several months to prepare. We think it is best to do it at the end of the year. If we get married this year, we may be able to have a child in 2000. It is not a good time to do it..."
After Li Xia finished talking incessantly, she felt that what she said was not good and seemed too hurried, so she quickly made up for it.
"You've seen our family. His father and I are both working people. I look down on those girls who spend their days in prostitution. In life and marriage, the most important thing is that the man makes money and the woman keeps it."
She said proudly, "This dress I'm wearing was bought the first year after I got married. You see, it's not that you can't wear it now. This kind of dress is good to wear for a long time. When you walk outside, people will know that you are a quiet person."
Wang Mengmei really couldn't stand it anymore. She originally planned to say nothing, but now Li Xia really exceeded her expectations.
How could people mess things up like this?
She quickly interrupted: "The food is here, let's eat first. The duck tongue here is the best, everyone try it."
The cold dishes came up one after another, but Wang Mengmei's distraction didn't have much effect.
Because Li Xia glared at her and then said, "My dear, I am a straightforward person, please don't mind. I think that since we have come to this point, we might as well speak frankly. As you can see, our family is not as rich as yours, but we both have stable jobs and pensions when we are old. Chengcai in my family also has everything. I think that when Chengcai starts working in the future, it would be best if Qianqian can be a teacher in the kindergarten in our town. In this way, we can take care of her nearby."
Mother Hu's fingernail left a mark on her finger: "Qianqian in our family is also studying accounting. Her father and I are thinking of letting her do an internship this year and help out at home next year."
Li Xia waved her hands hastily after hearing this: "Girls are not as good at math as boys. With us here, she doesn't have to do these things."
As she spoke, Li Xia recalled the past and could not help complaining to her son: "I told you last year to tell Qianqian that as a girl, why should she study accounting? It would be best if she could choose to be a kindergarten teacher. After she has studied, she can take care of other children or her own children in the future. You are busy with work, and she can take care of children more easily. But you ignored my words. Now you have not changed even after the internship. You did not listen to the advice of the elders, and now you are suffering. Now I have to spend time to find connections to arrange a kindergarten for her."
Wang Chengcai fell into despair.
He watched her mother's mouth open and close, like an alarm clock that could not be stopped. He wanted to turn it off, but the alarm clock kept jumping and would not turn off. When it turned off automatically, it would be the end of the world.
Wang Chengcai looked at his mother. If Li Xia had been more careful, she would have seen the pleading in her son's eyes.
But she was immersed in her own "personality", and all she said was to promote herself.
Wang Mengmei sighed in her heart, knowing that this matter was going to fail, and it couldn't be any more failed.
Sure enough, Mr. Hu suddenly stood up, looking as if he had been patient for a long time.
Mother Hu also stood up, holding onto the table, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so let's forget about this meal today."
This is already a very respectable statement.
Before Li Xia could react, Hu's father and mother had already picked up the things they brought with them, pushed the door open and left.
Wang Chengcai followed behind and kept calling them uncle and aunt, but no one paid any attention to him.
Li Xia was dumbfounded: "No, what's wrong with this person? Why didn't he tell me earlier if there was something wrong at home?"
Wang Mengmei: …
Zhao Chunlan knew something was wrong. She timidly pulled Wang Mengmei's collar and said, "What's the matter? I see these two people are not very happy."
Wang Mengmei didn't want to talk to Li Xia. Anyway, Wang Chengcai would come to explain everything to her later.
"It's okay, I'll go out."
Wang Mengmei went to the waiter to return the dishes that could be returned, and asked them to pack up the remaining dishes.
After making the arrangements, she waited for Wang Chengcai at the door.
This was too great a blow, and she was afraid that Wang Chengcai couldn't bear it.
After waiting outside for a while, Wang Mengmei saw Wang Chengcai, who was in a daze.
Wang Chengcai must have been punched in the face and was covered in dirt.
Wang Mengmei frowned and went forward to greet him: "Was the beating severe?"
When Wang Chengcai saw his second aunt, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Second Aunt...Qianqian said she wanted to break up with me."
Wang Mengmei was not surprised. Let alone Hu Qianqian, if it was her own daughter, she would have broken up with her, and Jian Feng would have beaten her even harder.
"Let's go back first."
Li Xia is still inside.
Wang Chengcai burst into tears: "Second aunt, I don't want to break up!"
But Hu Qianqian had nothing to say.
She said, "Wang Chengcai, just think I'm blind. It's my bad luck to meet your family. My parents raised me for decades, and now I'm not married yet, but your mother has already started to scheme against our family. Why did she ask me to study to be a kindergarten teacher? I thought she was joking at the time, but it turns out she had already started to arrange it, and you are hiding it from both sides!"
Wang Chengcai felt very wronged, and he almost begged Hu Qianqian not to break up: "Qianqian, I swear to God, I really didn't know my mother would be like this. If I knew she would be like this, I would definitely..."
Seeing him being so stubborn, Hu Qianqian became even more disappointed: "Wang Chengcai, you don't even know why my parents are angry. We can't choose our parents, but is your mother's problem really just hers?"
"Throughout the whole situation, your father and you didn't talk. Your mother was angry that you didn't buy her gold. Why didn't you comfort her before? You never told me that your mother was like this, and you didn't give me any buffer time."
Wang Chengcai said in pain: "I told her, but my mother didn't listen!"
Hu Qianqian seemed to be meeting this person for the first time, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity: "So, you are leaving your family's communication problems to me to solve?"
"I don't, I won't!"
Hu Qianqian: "You will. Before marriage, you couldn't handle your parents' problems. After marriage, you will only be more cowardly. Your mother is strong and selfish, but these are not your problems. But you allow her to use her power and selfishness to hurt me and my parents."
"From the way your parents get along with each other, I just feel it's horrible. Your mother has been like this for a long time, but you pretend not to see it. You don't comfort her, don't deal with her, don't resolve her emotions, don't help her improve, and then throw this problem to me to deal with. You hope that I can endure it, what kind of logic is this?"
Wang Chengcai denied it subconsciously: "I won't, Qianqian, we won't return to the town in the future, we will live in the city, and you won't have much contact with her."
"...That's not right. She's your mother. She's a person, not something you can just do with her. If you don't let her come, won't she come on her own? Besides..."
Hu Qianqian said sharply: "You are avoiding the problem. In the end, I am still the one who has to solve these problems."
Wang Chengcai hurriedly grabbed his girlfriend. He no longer had time to think about Hu Qianqian's words. He just desperately hoped that his girlfriend would not leave him.
"Qianqian, I will change everything you said. I will handle everything well. I promise! Let's not break up, okay?"
Hu Qianqian shook off his hand: "Not good."
Just now, Hu's mother came out and asked her a question.
"Hu Qianqian, you are an only child with a city hukou. Our family is not short of money, and your father and I have never been stingy with material things. If you really want to form a family with someone like this, your father and I will no longer care about you."
She has neither lack of money nor love, so does Hu Qianqian have to be tied to such a man?
Wang Chengcai wanted to continue to argue, but Hu's father came over, asked the girl to get in the car, and punched Wang Chengcai.
Wang Chengcai didn't hold back much power in this punch and he only felt a few of his teeth were loosened.
Father Hu had put away his good expression at this moment, and his eyes were vicious: "Boy, don't let me see you in the future, and you are not allowed to talk to Qianqian in school."
Just like stepping on a pile of dog shit, Mr. Hu now feels unlucky.
"Solve your own problems at home, don't be a ghost here and ask others to do your job for you."
They are all men, it's hard to tell who is who.
As for Wang Chengcai's intention to embezzle his family property, this guy didn't have that intention. But this guy obviously couldn't handle his mother, so he said to get married early, but in fact, he just wanted to get married and form a small family so that he wouldn't have to be controlled by his mother.
Marry a bride, marry a bride, this means he is planning to ask his daughter to be his "mother".
"Get away!"
