Chapter 195: Even if there is something, it is all frozen
Liu Cuihua patted Chen Li's hand and said, "Sister, there's nothing wrong with marrying into a man's family. If the woman is well-off, we, as elders, can't stop our children from having a good life."
Chen Li smiled bitterly and shook her head. "That's what I said, but it's not that easy to be a live-in son-in-law. I won't hide it from you. The woman my third son found is Bai Wanqiu, the daughter of the Bai family.
I know what the Bai family likes about my son, but Bai Wanqiu is really too old. If it were in the past, Bai Wanqiu could have given birth to my third child.
"You know, your third brother is a regular worker at the cannery after all. He doesn't earn much a month, but it's enough to marry a wife and support a family. Why is he so obsessed with marrying into the family?"
Seeing Chen Li getting sadder and sadder, Liu Cuihua hurried to comfort her, "Maybe they just fell in love. I heard the Bai family is pretty good."
Chen Li might have been feeling uncomfortable and said some of her true feelings.
"Sister, no matter how good the other person is, we can't let our son marry into the family. You're young and don't understand. You don't understand either. You're also a mother and you've been through those times. Back then, when life was so difficult, few families would let their sons marry into the family. Now that life is better, if we let our third son marry into the family, we'd be waiting to be criticized. If you were in my shoes, would you agree to let your son marry into the family?"
Liu Cuihua thought to herself, it depends on which child wants to marry into the family. In fact, if the child really likes her, she probably will agree. That's what she thinks, but she can't say it out loud.
Liu Cuihua sighed, "Well, not necessarily. It's hard to take care of children these days."
Chen Li agreed with her expression. Thinking of her son who was beaten by the old man that morning and was limping but still insisted on marrying into the family, she felt a lot of emotion.
"That's right. When children are young, they just need to be spanked twice to become obedient. But now that they've grown up, spanking is no longer effective. They all have their own ideas. It's hard for us as parents."
Shi Luo thought silently, you didn't hit him hard enough. If you break his legs, he won't be able to leave this house even if he wants to marry into your family.
Liu Cuihua gently patted Chen Li's hand and said, "You still have to relax. You have to slowly persuade the child as well. You can't let the child be separated from his family."
Chen Li nodded and said, "Oh, I know everything. You are lucky. Both your godson and your biological son are capable.
I heard that your Jiang Hao bought a large house of over 100 square meters from the factory. It's a new building. So he won't have to worry about having no place to live after he gets married.
By the way, Jiang Hao is already in his twenties, so it’s time for him to get married. I’m pretty familiar with the people in this area, so why don’t I introduce some to your child?”
Liu Cuihua smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, we can't delay the girl.
My son couldn't even afford a 10-square-meter studio on his own. He borrowed a lot of money from others to buy the house, and he will have to pay it back in the future.
I was thinking of letting him earn money for a few years to pay off his debts, and then looking for a partner when he’s almost done.”
Chen Li showed a surprised expression. "He even borrowed a lot of money. I heard from Bai Qing that your grandfather paid a lot for Jiang Hao to buy this house."
Liu Cuihua rolled her eyes. "That's just like she said. My grandfather did give it, but he only gave 400 yuan. He also gave her family a share of the 400 yuan. I guess this time he almost took out all the money he had saved."
Chen Li nodded. "That's true. Although your old man has a high salary, he and his wife also spend money. They eat out and buy clothes every now and then. I don't think they can save much."
Chen Li said this, but whether she was telling the truth or not, and whether she believed what Liu Cuihua had just said, only she knew.
Shi Luo saw that it was getting dark outside. "Aunt Chen, it's getting late. My godmother and I will go back first. We can talk later."
Chen Li quickly stood up and said to them, "It's getting late. Even though we live next door, it's getting dark and the roads are slippery. Go back slowly."
Liu Cuihua: "Don't worry."
As soon as Shi Luo returned home, he saw Jiang Hao washing vegetables diligently.
"Brother Hao, what are we going to eat tonight? I'm hungry."
Jiang Hao put the spinach in his hand into the plate. "Hey, you two are back from playing. Let's have copper pot dinner tonight. I also thawed some shrimps and soaked some dried goods. Everything is ready. Just help me put it on the table."
Liu Cuihua washed her hands and started to help. "I think the Du family also wants their son to marry into the family."
Shi Luo: "No way, I think Aunt Chen doesn't want Du Tie to marry into the family."
Liu Cuihua played mahjong and said slowly, "You are still too young. If the Du family really refused to agree to this, Chen Li would not be the only one left at home when we went there.
The Du family stopped Du Tie from marrying into the family because they were afraid of being gossiped about. However, if Du Tie married into the family, he would definitely be gossiped about. So how could they minimize the loss?
That is to let Du Tie bear the bad reputation himself. Anyway, his reputation will definitely be bad once he marries into the family, so it doesn't matter if it is a little worse.
As long as the Du family makes a few more noises like today and shows a firm disagreement,
Even if Du Tie finally married into the Du family, everyone would just say that Du Tie didn't listen to his parents, or that a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother.
They would never say that the Du family wanted to sell their son to wipe out the family. Even if they did, they would only say that Du Tie was just trying to live off the family, take advantage of the family, or wipe out the family."
As soon as Liu Cuihua finished speaking, there was a humming sound outside. Maybe the doors and windows were closed too tightly, so she couldn't hear a word.
Jiang Hao put down the copper pot, picked up the two military coats hanging at the door, and Huhu's hat, handed one coat to Shi Luo, put on the other coat himself, then picked up Huhu who was sitting on the stool, put on his hat and stuffed it into his military coat.
"Let's eat later. I haven't seen any excitement today. Let's go and see what's going on first."
After saying that, he pulled Shi Luo with one hand and held him in his military coat with the other hand and ran out in a hurry.
Liu Cuihua glanced at the copper pot that had just been lit and filled it with water. "Dongdong, put on your cotton-padded jacket quickly. Grandma will take you to watch the fun too."
When Shi Luo was dragged out of the door by Jiang Hao, he saw that the alley was full of people standing a few meters away from his home.
Jiang Hao dragged Shi Luo, holding the child, and squeezed in with great effort. "Let us go in and take a look. Everyone, please make some room. I have a child in my arms. The child is short. If you stand too far out, you won't be able to see anything."
The old lady who was squeezed by Jiang Hao gave way and cursed, "It's so cold, and you brought your children out to watch the fun. What are you going to do if you get cold? Young people just don't know what to do."
