Li Xu knew more, for example, Cui Ling's husband was a formal employee.
In a family, the formal worker has a very high status, but his wife is treated like this.
To be honest, it's hard not to suspect that this has something to do with him.
Or maybe this is what he intended...
Li Xu felt that the Cui family should be able to see what he could see, so he didn't remind them. Instead, he said thoughtfully, "Aunt Cui, I can ask for you, but I have to be frank upfront. I'm just setting up a connection. The price they offer is none of my business. Whether it succeeds or not is your business. If I hear any rumors afterwards, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Unlike finding jobs for the Hu family before, the Cui family has to pay them.
This becomes a transaction, and there is no such thing as wasting favors.
But Li Xu had to explain the situation clearly. At this time, even if it was a temporary job, the price would not be low. The Cui family must not think that he had embezzled money and ruined his reputation afterwards.
Aunt Cui understood what he said. She nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Xiao Xu, your Uncle Cui has been asking around lately and knows how high the price is. We are mentally prepared. Don't worry, even if it doesn't work out, we won't say anything and will still remember your kindness."
Li Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go ask for you in the next two days."
Seeing that he agreed to help, Aunt Cui became particularly excited and kept talking to several people.
It took a long time before he took his daughter away.
After they left, Hu Guilan sighed, "This Cui Ling is really pitiful, finding such a husband-in-law family."
Hearing this, Li Xu looked over speechlessly.
Sister-in-law, if she is not pitiful, then you are the one who is pitiful.
Aunt Hu shook her head. "She's pitiful not because of her in-laws, but because of her husband."
"Aunt Hu, what you said is absolutely spot on." Li Xu gave a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "As far as I know, Cui Ling's husband is a regular employee. You can think about why her in-laws dare to treat her like this."
Aunt Hu looked confused. "Xiao Xu, what do you mean by hitting the nail on the head?"
Li Xu: ...
"I mean you got to the crux of the matter right away. That's a compliment."
"Why don't you just tell me that I'm right? I don't understand such flowery talk."
Seeing the helpless expression on Li Xu's face, Du Hong couldn't help but laughed immediately, and while laughing, she was thinking about what he had just said.
Li Wenbai in her arms saw her smile, and for some reason, he leaned over and kissed her on the face, then giggled.
Du Hong soon figured it out. The smile on her face disappeared instantly. She asked in surprise, "You mean her husband..."
Hu Guilan figured it out and quickly interrupted her, "Xiaohong, just think about this in your heart, don't say it out loud."
Don’t talk about things without evidence, otherwise if others hear it, it will be troublesome.
Du Hong nodded and said, "If we have a daughter in the future, we must be careful when looking for a partner for her. We must not let her find a man like this."
This statement was unanimously agreed by Hu Guilan and Hu Cuifen.
Li Xu spat and said fiercely, "Whoever dares to bully my daughter, I will kill him, even if it's my son-in-law. The Cui family is just too cowardly. If I were them, I would divorce Cui Ling and support her at home. Then I would break the legs of everyone in her in-laws' family. Her husband would at least be crippled."
He knew what the Cui family was thinking. They simply felt sorry for Cui Ling for not finding out more about the man before the engagement. So now they wanted to spend money to find her a job to avoid the hassles, which was also a form of compensation.
As for why they didn't go to Cui Ling's in-laws to settle the score, it was probably because they were worried that they would become even more aggressive afterwards.
This idea is quite common nowadays.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, most of the woman's family members are unwilling to do so.
But Li Xu thought this idea was bullshit. If someone has made up their mind to bully you, will they feel ashamed and stop because of your concession?
This is bullshit.
Great men have said that peace will survive if it is sought through struggle, but it will die if it is sought through compromise.
These people recite quotations every day, but they don’t even understand this principle and don’t know what the point of reciting them is.
So he felt that even if he didn't want Cui Ling to get divorced, as her family he had to support her and beat her in-laws so hard that they would scare them away and never dare to do it again.
Du Hong and others: ...
After a moment's silence, Aunt Hu sighed and said, "It's easier said than done. Divorce isn't easy these days. There are many women like Cui Ling. After all the fuss, they still have to make do with each other in the end."
Li Xu curled his lips and said, "That's because they don't have the courage."
To prevent him from saying something horrifying again, Du Hong quickly handed Li Wenbai to Hu Guilan. "Sister-in-law, we're exhausted after a whole morning. We'd like to go back to the house and rest for a while. Please call us at five o'clock."
"OK."
Hearing the response, Du Hong took Li Xu's hand and walked towards her room.
After entering the room and closing the door, she said angrily, "You are already so grown up, why don't you pay attention to what you say? If outsiders hear it and spread it out, how will our daughter get married in the future?"
"Look how scared you are. If you can't get married, then you can find a live-in son-in-law. My eldest sister mentioned this idea a long time ago, and we all think it's a good idea."
"Ah?" Du Hong exclaimed, "Eldest sister mentioned this? Did mom and dad agree?"
"As long as it's good for her, why not agree?"
