Chapter 393 Life is not a matter for two people
Through this incident, Chen Guilan also gained a new understanding of the Lu family. The Lu family pays attention to matching the family's social status. Obviously, their family does not meet the Lu family's standards for choosing a spouse.
She now has more than 100,000 yuan in savings. She is not inferior, but just feels it is inappropriate.
With Su Jiaojiao's own conditions, she is not as good as the best but better than the worst, so there is no need for her to choose the Lu family.
Although she had no faults with Lu Jingyou, living together was not just a matter between two people, but also a matter between two families.
In case of any conflict, Su Jiaojiao has no support from her family. She is weak and alone. What should she do if she is wronged in the future?
Chen Guilan felt very sad when she thought of this. The Lu family didn't even take a strong woman like Qin Shuang seriously, let alone her.
Ding Mei was looking for a partner for her, and the people she introduced all worked in banks. If Su Jiaojiao stayed in Jiao County to find a partner, he would definitely be a good match.
Chen Guilan felt that although her daughter had her own ideas, she was too young after all and could not think so much.
After two days of mental struggle, she couldn't help but tell Su Jiaojiao about her worries: "It's not that I look down on Lu Jingyou, I just think you should think it over carefully and not move forward so quickly with him."
Lu Jingyou's visit to deliver the New Year gift caught Chen Guilan off guard.
Although she treated him with courtesy, she was not mentally prepared to accept this future son-in-law.
"Mom, why did you suddenly bring up this matter again?" Su Jiaojiao was writing the production process sheet for baseball uniforms. She had made up her mind to let Qimei do it. With the production capacity of Qimei's two garment factories, it would definitely not delay her work.
As for the Kyoto Clothing Company, she didn't want to invest in new models anymore because with Lin Manling's intervention, all her new models in Kyoto would be exposed in advance.
She knew very well what kind of person Yu Mingyuan was.
The best competition is to avoid competition. The market is so big, she doesn't need to compete with people like Yu Mingyuan.
If she lets Qi Mei do it, it will save a lot of trouble.
The purpose of doing business is to make money, not to get angry with anyone.
"I didn't think of it suddenly. I have been thinking about you all the time. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the Lu family is not suitable for you." Chen Guilan knew that Su Jiaojiao had been gone for half a year, or even a year, and she had to say it.
I originally thought they were just talking and it wasn't certain whether it would work out or not.
But the New Year gifts have already been delivered, and giving New Year gifts means discussing marriage.
"Mom, Lu Jingyou is from another place. He doesn't know the significance of giving New Year gifts. He just heard about this custom and did it on a whim. You don't have to take it to heart." Su Jiaojiao knew Chen Guilan's concerns and didn't want her to dwell on such matters. "I still have two and a half years to graduate. I can't get married before graduation, and I can't get married right after graduation either. What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried you're moving too fast, worried you're not being tactful with him." Chen Guilan bluntly stated, "You're a girl, you need to protect yourself. Look at your Aunt Qin..."
When Lu Jingyou left that day, Su Jiaojiao went to see him off and stayed with him for more than two hours.
As a mother, how can I not worry?
Young people today are nothing like they were back then. Back then, they were too embarrassed to look each other in the eye before getting married, and even if they met on the street, they would quickly avoid each other.
She felt that Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou had no intention of avoiding suspicion at all, and when they were in the imperial capital, she saw Lu Jingyou hugging Su Jiaojiao with her own eyes. This was what she saw, but what about when she didn't see it?
"Mom, you're overthinking it. We're not at that point yet..." Su Jiaojiao felt that this kind of thing would only happen naturally. She and Lu Jingyou were closer, but she wouldn't get together with him without any preparation.
At least, she had to feel that their relationship was stable enough and that Lu Jingyou had enough sincerity and sense of ceremony.
"It's good that you know what's going on." Chen Guilan knew she couldn't win against Su Jiaojiao. "You're grown up now and have more ideas than me. I'll listen to you on everything else, but you must think this through."
Qin Shuang is a living example.
I have been wandering for half my life and have no place to go.
"I understand." Su Jiaojiao understood Chen Guilan and always thought of the worst. Qin Shuang was not a lesson for her. She could have other choices and have her own happiness.
What Qin Shuang did before Qin Xiuming returned to the Lu family was the right thing to do.
In order to prevent her son from suffering any grievances, she chose to raise him alone. She has also achieved some success in her career and is an absolute strong woman.
But after Qin Xiuming returned to the Lu family, she could have chosen another man to marry and start her own family instead of continuing to be entangled with Lu Jiaping.
Lu Jiaping has a wife and a daughter, how could it be so easy for him to get away?
After the eldest and second uncles had a falling out over the walnut tree, Chen Guilan's home became much quieter. Although she did not take sides, the eldest uncle's family instinctively thought that she was on the second uncle's side.
Chen Mei and Chen Ju are both married and have their own lives to live. They just listen to the affairs of their parents' home and then forget about it.
No one would say they would come back to resolve the conflict.
When delivering New Year gifts, they did not come to Chen Guilan's house. Their absence must have been the idea of my aunt Wang Yunying.
After all, Chen Jiang is a boy, and he has some sense of family responsibility. On New Year's Day, he brought some meat to visit Chen Guilan, and also talked to Su Jiaojiao about him and Cheng Yu.
He said he bought a house in Phase II of Century Jiayuan and planned to get married on May Day. He also asked Su Jiaojiao if she could come back to attend his wedding.
Su Jiaojiao said it was too far and she couldn’t come back.
No one mentioned the walnut tree.
Chen Guisheng called Chen Guilan and asked her and her daughter to return to the village to celebrate the New Year.
Chen Guilan has become accustomed to life in the city and said she doesn't want to go back. She asked them to come to her place, where there is heating and it is warm.
Xiao Suisui was the first to agree, as she really liked living at her aunt's house.
Xu Yue'e and Chen Juan had no problem with it. Chen Guisheng said that they would go there on the first day of the New Year, return to the village on the third day, and entertain the new son-in-law on the fourth day. They could not stay as long as before, so he asked them to come back with him when the time comes.
Su Jiaojiao was also very willing to have her second uncle and his family come to live with them. It would be more lively with more people around, and Chen Guilan wouldn't have to nag her every day.
Besides, she had been eating leftovers for several days and really didn't want to eat anymore.
As soon as they arrive, there are no leftovers at home.
On the first day of the New Year, Chen Guisheng and his family arrived early. They were in high spirits because of the good news. With a new son-in-law, the family was not affected by the walnut tree and looked very happy.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan haven't seen each other for a year. When the good sisters meet, they close the door and hide in the house to talk in private.
Chen Juan's whisper was of course about Zhao Shunfa. She told Su Jiaojiao shyly, "He said he wanted to buy a house in our village and bring his mother over to live with us."
