So after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Tiejun told the whole story, mainly explaining his position and refuting the old man and woman on the spot.
Sure enough, although his wife was angry with his parents, she didn't say anything to him.
To the couple's utter surprise, Wang Qingmei was shameless. After causing such a scene yesterday, she still had the nerve to come to their door today.
It's one thing to come to her door, but she actually had the nerve to ask for that.
Without waiting for Chen Shuning's reply, he directly refused, saying, "Fourth sister-in-law, what are you saying? Let's not even talk about how Shuning and Chaoyang's friends aren't familiar with each other. Even if they were, introducing someone to someone is no small matter. How old is Shuning? How would she know what kind of person is suitable for a couple's relationship?"
Besides, didn't you say last time that Shuting was dating the son of their brigade leader? It's only been a few days, why is Shuning asking you to introduce her to someone again?
Fourth sister-in-law, this is a new society now; arranged marriages are no longer the norm.
Even with Wang Qingmei's thick skin, she blushed a little at Qin Yalan's words. Not long ago, she had been boasting all over the yard about how amazing her daughter was, saying that she had started dating the brigade leader's son not long after she went to the countryside.
Even though he was the captain's son, he was just a peasant. How could he compare to a son-in-law like the He family? So when she heard that Qin Yalan had found a son-in-law from a high-ranking official in Beijing, she felt resentful.
That's why I went out of my way to inquire about the He family yesterday, and why I stirred things up in front of the old man and the old woman.
She just didn't expect Qin Yalan to actually bring this up in person without giving her any face. Besides, she could also see that no matter what she said, this family wouldn't help her. So, feeling embarrassed, she immediately frowned.
He said sarcastically, "Second sister-in-law, if you're not going to help, then don't. Why say all this useless stuff? If Shuting and that country boy hadn't been incompatible, they would have broken up long ago, and I wouldn't be begging your family for help."
So what if she married a soldier? What's so great about that? Blind Wang at the alley entrance said that my Shuting is destined to be an official's wife.
If you don't help me now, don't expect to benefit from my daughter Shuting's success in the future.
After saying that, Wang Qingmei glared fiercely at Chen Shuning, then swayed her slender waist and walked away.
Qin Yalan was so angry that she was about to chase after her to argue, but Chen Shuning quickly grabbed her.
"Mom, after all these years, don't you still know what kind of person she is? Why are you arguing with her? Hurry up and get ready, we still have a lot of things to do today!"
"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go."
Qin Yalan didn't want to ruin her shopping mood, so she didn't argue with Wang Qingmei anymore. She followed Chen Shuning's lead back into the house, and the mother and daughter tidied up and went out.
A side note: I've been having menstrual cramps these past few days, and even I feel this chapter is a bit disorganized. The quality of the next two chapters might not be as good, so please be understanding and don't give me a bad review because of these few chapters. Thank you.
