Chapter 8 Going to My Wife's House
To be honest, Chen Pingsheng himself admitted that he was a little impulsive.
But everything has a reason. In the past few years, every time he went to his mother-in-law's house, Song Yanxi and he were looked down upon because of his undignified job.
There are only two days left until the Chinese New Year, and he wants to buy a nice car for his wife and let everyone see it.
Chen Pingsheng is definitely someone who can be entrusted with one's life.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.
Song Yanxi had obtained a driver's license a long time ago, but she seldom drove and was not very skilled, so she drove at a snail's pace of 30 mph on the road.
Little An An was even more excited than her. She sat in the back, shaking her little butt non-stop, and her front teeth, which had almost fallen out, were also smiling non-stop.
She kept asking her father questions, such as what is this for and what is that for.
Can big cars watch cartoons or something?
This must be arranged. I plan to buy her a small iPad during the Chinese New Year.
"Husband, how come you have hundreds of thousands more?"
After getting used to the situation a bit, she felt less nervous and asked the questions that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Of course I made money from selling durian."
Chen Pingsheng said, "You don't know, after I spent 190,000 to stock up on the goods, a heavy snowstorm hit outside within a day. Durian couldn't be imported, so the price naturally skyrocketed. I took this opportunity to make a little extra money."
Song Yanxi didn't doubt it, she was naturally happy that her husband could make money.
"You spent all your money on the car, what about the house?"
"Don't worry about this. An An won't enter the first grade until next June."
Chen Pingsheng hugged little An'an and said, "I thought since we are going to buy a house, we should buy a bigger one. When my income is more stable next year, we can have another one."
Still want to have a baby?
Song Yanxi had no objection to this. If the family had the conditions, one child would indeed be too few.
I didn’t dare to think about it before, but now I can give it more thought.
When he got home, his childhood friend Shaoshuai specially bought him a string of big firecrackers.
Tie a red ribbon on the new car and it will explode non-stop.
Of course, red envelopes are also indispensable.
If this happened in the countryside, and someone bought an Audi A4L in full, it would definitely be big news.
There is nothing in Beijing.
Chen Pingsheng plans to spend another three months to resolve the housing issue, as durian will not be as easy to sell after the New Year.
He also needs to think more about other sources of income.
…
The day before Chinese New Year.
Song Wu is still busy gathering with classmates.
She is only two years younger than Song Yanxi. Her elder sister grew up in her grandparents' home since she was a child, but she is different.
I was taken back to Beijing when I was in junior high school.
After living in Beijing with my parents for a long time, I naturally became arrogant.
To be honest, her family is at most middle class in Beijing.
Her mother is a native of Beijing, but her father is not.
With the support of the older generation, my parents finally settled down in the capital.
The house is not big, with three bedrooms and a living room, totaling 120 square meters.
If you remove the common area, it would be around one hundred at most.
The reason why Song Wu looked down on her brother-in-law who was from another place was mainly because she had developed a natural sense of superiority that people from Beijing had.
In their eyes, outsiders are born inferior.
Besides, it would be embarrassing to tell others about her brother-in-law's occupation. If she becomes a big star in the future and others know that her brother-in-law sells durian on the street, that would be a direct smear on her face.
That's why I kept thinking about asking her sister to get divorced.
"Hey...Xiao Wu, take a look at your sister's circle of friends."
"What's interesting about her Moments? Either she's showing off her husband or little An An."
Song Wu felt that her sister had developed such rustic habits simply because she had lived in the countryside for too long.
Not like her at all.
What they post are either high-end restaurants or afternoon tea.
"Your sister bought a car."
Song's father actually likes Chen Pingsheng very much, but unfortunately his opinion is not important at all in this family.
The family's status is controlled by Song Ma, a Beijing resident.
"What car can she buy?"
Song Wu didn't think much of it. She clicked on it and saw that it was her favorite little Audi.
He sat up with a snap.
"Strange, could it be that I took this photo with someone else's car?"
"Do you think your sister looks like you?"
Song's father said unhappily, "You've been so hardworking all your life, you've already saved enough money to buy a car. It's no wonder you bought an Audi A4 like this."
"Then he must have paid a down payment of 20% to 30%."
Song Wu didn't care. Too many of her classmates drove luxury cars, and a small Audi A4 was not enough to make her envious.
When she becomes a big star, she will have a few small Audis for every scene she shoots.
"Your sister will be home soon. Please put aside your pride and be polite to your brother-in-law. They have a hard time too."
Father Song advised kindly.
Song Wu pouted and didn't listen at all. She really couldn't respect a durian seller on the street.
The key point is that it is too embarrassing to tell others about it, and she can't even bring herself to talk about it.
The whole family prepares tableware and dishes for the New Year, and the next day they are reunited to welcome the New Year.
This time, Chen Pingsheng brought a lot of gifts, including two packs of red BJ cigarettes and a pair of Feitian Moutai liquors.
Plus two big durians, he came with his family at eight o'clock in the morning.
Dad Song had already prepared a table full of reunion dinner.
"Pingsheng, why are you bringing so many gifts again?"
The two families were actually not far from each other. Since his sister-in-law and Song Ma had never looked at him straight in the eye, Chen Pingsheng would never visit them unless it was the New Year or other holidays.
Only Song's father really treated him as a son-in-law.
"They are just small gifts, not worth much."
He is not a person who likes to be polite and doesn't say too many polite words.
Song's father gestured for him to sit next to him, but Song's mother rolled her eyes at him as soon as he came in.
He took his daughter aside to chat.
"Sister, I heard you bought a car. How much was the down payment?"
When Song Wu was young, she was raised in the countryside by her sister, but her personality changed only after she moved to the capital.
"There was no down payment. Your brother-in-law paid for it outright."
No matter when or where, Song Yanxi will always speak on her man's side.
Song Wu frowned slightly, not believing it at all, "He can still buy an Audi in full?"
"That's nothing, your brother-in-law's income is not low."
If it wasn't the New Year, Song Wu would definitely follow her temper and say that he was not my brother-in-law.
I never acknowledged this person in my heart.
"Daughter, you didn't lie to me, did you? Did he really buy it for you in full?"
The difference between paying in full and paying in installments is huge, Song Ma couldn't help but confirm.
"My mom didn't lie. Dad paid for it in full."
Little An An pouted and replied. Although she was young, she knew how to speak for her father.
Song Ma snorted softly, "After following him for so many years, I finally managed to get him a job. But now you've all used the money to buy a car, what about the house? You can't always rent a house in Beijing, right?"
"Of course not."
The reason why Song Yanxi doesn't like going home is because her sister and her mother are too unfriendly to Chen Pingsheng.
No matter what he did, he was still looked down upon by them.
This time she simply spoke openly: "Mom, I know you have always looked down on Pingsheng, but you have seen him in the capital for so many years. Has he ever been lazy? Never, right?"
"It's not easy for someone of his age to live outside without relying on his parents and to support his family and daughter and buy a house and a car."
"Even though he bought me a car, you still have to look at him with skepticism. Aren't you just worried that he can't afford a house in Beijing? Even if we have to rent forever, our lives won't be too bad. After all, your daughter still has hundreds of thousands of yuan in her account."
"I earned all this by working so hard outside my home. What else do you want from him?"
As she spoke, tears began to fall again.
It's nothing else, I just feel wronged, the wronged feeling of not being understood by my family.
"Don't cry, Mom."
Little An An was very obedient and immediately handed her a tissue.
