Chapter 213
In June, Wang Yuexi and his wife arrived in the capital early.
Wang Menglan's family will have to wait until after the Little New Year to have time. Wang Menglan complained on the phone that she should have known not to let her daughter study medicine.
"Every day, I'm busy as hell."
Since no one is allowed to leave during the Chinese New Year, Qian Ping has been replacing other people's shifts recently in order to take some time off.
Wang Menglan now always advises people not to study medicine. Qian Ping gave her a big scare first half of the year, and now she is too busy to take a break.
Although you will be envied wherever you go when you have money, you will also regret it when you have money.
Although studying medicine sounds good, it is too tiring and hard.
In the past few years, Wang Menglan has been running the business, and the couple has made more and more money, and they have bought two or three houses in Taocheng.
Last year, a house was demolished and replaced with two extra houses at a ratio of one to three.
Even Wang Menglan, who was always ambitious, felt that she didn't have to work so hard, but her daughter still went out early and came back late every day without even a hot meal.
But when Qian Jin came to complain to his friends, they all thought he was showing off and no one could understand his mentality.
Wang Menglan asked Wang Mengmei on the phone about house prices in the capital.
"My mom went there, and I was thinking of buying a suite there, too."
People say that the college entrance examination in the capital is easy. Wang Menglan thought about it and felt that it was better to prepare in advance. Since her daughter was busy with work, she started to prepare in advance.
Buy a house, and if Qian Ping has children in the future, she will send them to study in the capital, so that they will not be under too much pressure in the college entrance examination.
It doesn't matter even if she can't use it. She can just consider it as a long-term investment. When she gets older, she can still visit her mother in the capital from time to time.
When Wang Mengmei heard her ask about the price of the house, she knew that her sister had something on her mind.
"The past six months haven't been great... but I think this is a good time to start."
Wang Mengmei has bought several shops and is still optimistic about the housing prices in the capital.
Short-term fluctuations may have various reasons, but in the long run, real estate in core areas still has investment value.
Wang Menglan thought for a moment and said, "Then the two of us will go tomorrow, and Pingping can go on her own during her holiday."
She had to come and see the house first.
Wang Menglan is coming to the capital to buy a house, and Wang Mengmei is happier than anyone else.
There are four siblings in the family, and she has always been best with her elder sister.
Wang Menglan arrived in the capital, lived in a hotel, and went out to look at houses every day.
She looked at the house, but she stabbed Wang Yuexi's eyes.
Wang Yuexi felt extremely upset. He was the only one among his family of four siblings who was still living a miserable life.
Although everyone in the town envied the couple for having a stable job and their son was a hard-working man who sent money home every year.
But what good is this?
Wang Yuexi is not like others. He just wonders why the feng shui has changed like this.
Those who do business are making a lot of money, but those who are teachers are penniless.
It's not fair at all.
This resentment became even more intense after his son brought his girlfriend to the capital.
Wang Chengcai has made a lot of money in the past two years and has saved a considerable amount of money. He has made good plans and the money is enough for him to get married and buy a house.
But compared with Wang Mengmei and others whose business has been getting better and better in recent years, this is still a long way off.
On the 23rd of February, Fang Jia met Wang Chengcai's family for the first time. She changed into new clothes in advance, carried two bags of fruits in her hands, and went to meet the parents under the pretext of visiting the elderly.
Wang Mengmei and Wang Menglan had a good impression of Fang Jia. The girl was pretty, graceful, and articulate. It was obvious that she was a smart girl.
Although Li Xia was reluctant, she knew very well that what she had done in the past had created a deep rift between her sons, so she did not say anything unpleasant to Fang Jia, and even asked a few questions about Fang Jia's family situation.
Fang Jia was vague about her family background, saying only that she had no connection with her parents and that she only had a technical secondary school education.
As soon as she left the technical secondary school, Li Xia's face turned much darker.
“…Not bad.”
Li Xia uttered two words and then stopped talking.
Wang Yuexi, on the other hand, was probably too drunk from the wine he drank at noon, and he suddenly got angry in front of everyone with a sullen face.
"Chengcai! Come here!"
Wang Mengmei and Wang Menglan both frowned.
Wang Yuexi's eyes were hazy. Seeing that Wang Chengcai didn't reply, he threw the wine glass in his hand.
"I was calling you, but you didn't hear me! I'm your father, but you've read so much that you don't even listen to your father!"
Wang Chengcai looked unhappy. He didn't want to cause a conflict in front of his girlfriend, so he responded neither softly nor harshly.
"You are drunk, go to bed."
At noon today, only two middle-aged men, Wang Yuedong and Wang Yuexi, were drinking. Wang Yuedong was relatively restrained, but Wang Yuexi drank one glass after another and drank almost a pound.
Wang Chengcai thought that what he said was correct, but to Wang Yuexi, it was very unpleasant.
His son has lost all his face!
"You don't listen to your father? You have to come here when I tell you to! Look at you, what have you done this year? You didn't make any money, and you brought back a person..."
Wang Menglan stood up and said, "Old Four, I think you are drunk. Chengcai is right. If you are drunk, go inside and sleep!"
Wang Yuexi was drunk and didn't hear a word Wang Menglan said.
He was still scolding his son fiercely.
He said he was scolding his son, but in fact he was venting his dissatisfaction.
Wang Chengcai's eyes turned red after being scolded, and he stood up and was about to leave.
Fang Jia held his hand and coaxed him in a low voice.
Wang Mengmei also hurried over to pull Wang Chengcai back: "Your father is drunk, don't bother with him."
Wang Chengcai said with a nasal voice: "It's okay, Second Aunt, Jia Jia and I will leave first."
Wang Mengmei was about to say something, but Li Xia just stopped.
Li Xia was afraid that her son would do the same as last time and leave without saying goodbye for several years.
Wang Yuexi was still going crazy, and Wang Yuedong and Wang Menglan were both trying to recruit people.
Li Xia tore the two apart and went up to slap Wang Yuexi twice in the face.
Not only did Wang Yuexi get stunned by these two slaps, but everyone present was also stunned.
After beating the man, Li Xia burst into tears: "You bastard surnamed Wang, what right do you have to say that my son is not as good as others? Look at your own miserable state! For so many years, you have not made any progress, and others are living better than you, but you take your anger out on my son. Who the hell are you!"
Wang Yuexi was slapped twice by his wife, and he reacted by slapping Li Xia.
Li Xia pushed the person and sat on the ground.
“You hit me, you hit me!”
"If you can't kill me, I'll have to make things difficult for you when I get out of this door!"
…
Li Xia started crying and Wang Yuexi stared at her with his eyes as sharp as bells.
Li Xia was even more unreasonable than him, and Wang Yuexi was almost sober.
Zhao Chunlan cried out in pain.
Wang Mengmei supported her mother and warned her in a low voice: "Don't go and stop her. If Li Xia beats you up later, I won't care."
Zhao Chunlan took a step back visibly.
"…Xia, please talk nicely."
Li Xia: "I don't want to talk to you nicely. Your son has been a good guy these years, pushing me to be a bad guy, and you didn't say anything. Now, your son wants to act like a demon, and I intervene once, and you persuade me? Why don't you persuade your son to be a decent person?"
Zhao Chunlan shrank her neck.
Wang Mengmei whispered, "...see, I told you to leave it alone. If you keep saying anything, I'll beat you up."
Zhao Chunlan stopped talking.
Li Xia still insisted that Wang Yue go back to his hometown.
Everyone pulled the couple apart, and Wang Yuedong put Wang Yuexi into the guest room.
Li Xia was helped up from the ground by Wang Mengmei and Wang Menglan.
Wang Chengcai was speechless, but Fang Jia grabbed a towel from somewhere and handed it to Li Xia.
Li Xia took the towel and said in a low voice: "Sorry for making a fool of yourself. Don't worry, we two won't follow you in the future."
Fang Jia: "This is what happens when you drink too much. Just take a rest."
Fang Jia's answer avoided Li Xia's question, and Wang Mengmei gave this girl a thumbs up in her heart.
I didn't rashly agree to live with my elders in the future, nor did I vent my emotions.
After wiping her face, Li Xia said she was going to sleep for a while, so Sun Cuifang cleaned up Zhao Chunlan's room for her to sleep in.
Wang Chengcai wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and closed it again.
Wang Mengmei and Wang Menglan talked to her for a few more words, and before leaving, they stuffed the red envelope prepared by Li Xia into her hand.
Wang Mengmei apologized, "I'm sorry for not hosting you well today. We can talk about it at the New Year's Eve dinner."
Fang Jia accepted it generously and said a few polite words.
After leaving the community, Fang Jiacai said softly, "Chengcai, your mother seems to be apologizing to you."
Wang Chengcai felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
Fang Jia took out two red envelopes, two thick ones, one with Li Xia's name on it and the other with Wang Yuexi's name on it.
Both of them are red envelopes worth thousands.
"...When we get married, let's invite your mother over."
Fang Jia didn't have a good impression of Li Xia, but after what happened today, Wang Yuexi was even worse.
Fang Jia was thinking about something, and after a while she asked Wang Chengcai again.
"Chengcai... do you think we should come here to work?"
Wang Chengcai was confused and didn't know how to answer.
Fang Jia was thinking in her heart, with parents-in-law like this, if they lived alone in the south, they would inevitably have to face it alone when they got married in the future.
Li Xia was fine, she felt sorry for her son and could still make sense.
As for Wang Yuexi, Fang Jia felt that such a father-in-law was more troublesome.
Rather than being helpless when encountering problems in the future, it is better for everyone to come to the capital to develop, where there are many relatives. My father-in-law's performance today clearly shows that he is more afraid of his two sisters.
Fang Jia thought more and more.
*****
It was only a few days until the Spring Festival. After finishing her school work, Jian Li finally found some time to go back to the dormitory to pack her things.
Gu Hong still did not go home this year, but the difference was that her cell phone rang more than in previous years.
Jian Li: "Why don't you answer the phone?"
Gu Hong disconnected the battery in annoyance: "Why did I connect it? Why did they advise me to go back home?"
She couldn't even afford the tuition in the first few years of college, but now that she is about to graduate, everyone is rushing to ask her when she will go back home to celebrate the New Year.
What he said was that he hoped she would contribute to both sides.
Jian Li patted her shoulder sympathetically.
Gu Hong raised her head: "By the way, someone seemed to be looking for you yesterday."
Jian Li was puzzled: "Who is looking for me?"
If you can't find her, call her.
Gu Hong smiled in an especially ambiguous way: "Of course it's our senior classmate."
Jian Li: ...
"…Senior is senior, why are you laughing?"
Gu Hong shrugged: "Of course it's because the seniors came with gifts. Tsk tsk, they are wearing coats in this weather, aren't they afraid of freezing?"
Gu Hong looked at Jian Li: "I seem to remember that the coat was given to me by someone."
Jian Li: "...Okay, it will be rude if you say that again."
Jian Li was confused. Gu Hong also liked to joke around, but she never thought anything of it at that time.
But now…
Gu Hong: "Hey, aren't you going home? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Jian Li said stubbornly, "What's wrong with me wanting to stay in the dormitory today?"
She angrily covered herself with the quilt: "This is my dormitory and I have the final say."
