Flirting
Regardless of whether it was all his family property or not, being willing to spend money on Qingqing was also a kind gesture from another perspective.
If Qingqing could really go to Beijing with Fan Yanxing to live, there was no reason for her as a mother to stop it. Putting everything aside, she should be happy that her daughter had a good marriage and finally fulfilled her wish of all these years, finding a good man to live in the city and become a city dweller.
And according to Fan Yanxing's family background and his own abilities, Qingqing would not have to worry about food and drink in her life, not to mention luxury.
However, this also meant that if Qingqing went to Beijing in the future, they would definitely be apart from each other, and it would even be a question whether they could see each other again in the second half of their lives. When
Ma Xiuzhi thought of this, her heart was like a knife.
But looking at Liang Qingqing's expectant eyes, Ma Xiuzhi's words of criticism came to her lips but could not be said. She scanned all the people present, and they were all waiting for her to express her opinion.
Finally, Ma Xiuzhi closed her eyes, smiled bitterly, and sighed in her heart. In this world, there is no parent who can bend over their children.
Besides, she also wanted to take a gamble, betting that her vision was not wrong, betting that Fan Yanxing was a good home for Qingqing.
"Where are you going to build a house?"
She was not worried that Fan Yanxing had no money or tickets to build a house. She was only concerned about whether the new Fan family was close to the Liang family during the period when they were still in the village, whether the location was good, and whether it would be convenient for Qingqing to go home in the future.
Hearing this, everyone knew that Ma Xiuzhi had agreed to the two young people's matter.
Fan Yanxing's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a flash of water in them. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he barely suppressed his excitement. But when he spoke again, the ending tone leaked out some emotions uncontrollably, and he said with a slight rise: "I have my eyes on two pieces of land."
"One is the vacant land opposite Uncle Zhang Guiliang's house, and the other is the vacant land next to Uncle Huang Jiadong."
The two pieces of land are about the same size, leaning against the mountain, surrounded by people who get along well, and the most important thing is that they are very close to the Liang family, and it only takes two or three minutes to walk there.
Fan Yanxing is thoughtful and has considered all aspects. Ma Xiuzhi can't help but feel more satisfied.
"Let's take the first one. Our family has some friendship with the Zhang family, so we can take care of them in the future." Ma Xiuzhi made the decision without thinking, because there was one thing she didn't say, that is, Zhang Guiliang's wife was her good friend for decades, and in the future, any movement of the Fan family would be under her nose.
In this way, she could feel more at ease.
"Okay, then I will go to the village chief in two days to get the seal and approval."
These days, the land is public, and you have to go through the procedures if you want to build a house. Fortunately, there will generally be no obstacles for the educated youth to build a house in the local area, so this procedure must be completed very quickly.
Fan Yanxing had no opinion on the site selection. He also didn't know that his future mother-in-law had secretly planted a spy around him. Instead, he was happy that Ma Xiuzhi had begun to be considered by them. The smile on his lips suddenly deepened. He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Liang Qingqing, wanting to share this joy with her. She must be as excited as he was.
But when he looked over, he saw Liang Qingqing was distracted, and it seemed that she didn't take this matter that seriously.
Suddenly, the unspeakable feeling of flying in the clouds in his heart faded a little, but then he thought that the words Liang Qingqing had just whispered in Ma Xiuzhi's ear must have played a crucial role, so that Ma Xiuzhi's attitude could be changed.
She must be so happy that she was stupid!
Thinking of this, Fan Yanxing's mouth curled up to the point where it almost reached his ears. It was rare for him to smile so happily. His exposed emotions made his noble and handsome face come alive, dazzling everyone, including Liang Qingqing.
She came back to her senses and couldn't help but secretly smack her lips. Fortunately, this golden thigh was handsome enough, otherwise she would definitely not have chosen him so firmly at the beginning.
"If you dare to treat Qingqing badly in the future and betray our trust, we two brothers will not be vegetarians. Even if you are my good brother, I will not be soft-hearted."
Seeing that everyone had said almost everything, Liang Junqiang stood up and waved his fist as big as a sandbag in the direction of Fan Yanxing. He looked very powerful, but if you looked closely, you would know that his eyes had been red for a long time, and even his voice was trembling.
"Junqiang is right. We only have this one girl in our family. You should think about it yourself." Liang Shuqiang also stood up. He was usually gentle and quiet, but now he was speaking harshly, which was unexpectedly intimidating.
"Qingqing was raised in great pampering at home. I, as her sister-in-law, have seen it all. You must not abuse someone else's daughter, otherwise we will take Qingqing back immediately, and we, her brother and sister-in-law, will support her for the rest of her life!" Wang Xiaomei held Songzi in her arms and took a few steps forward to stand next to Liang Shuqiang. These words were very meaningful, as if they were giving Liang Qingqing a way out that she could always rely on.
Songzi was confused, but he guessed most of it. The naughty boy who was usually fearless was about to cry. "Bad uncle, you snatched my aunt from Songzi. I won't play with you anymore. Woohoo, don't leave me, aunt."
Everyone had finished what they wanted to say. Ma Xiuzhi and Liang Xueyong looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
This was enough to show their power. Any more would be inappropriate. Fan Yanxing must understand what they meant.
"Everyone can rest assured. I will never let Qingqing suffer any grievances in my life. Empty words are not enough. People's true heart will be revealed over time. I will prove everything with my actions." Fan Yanxing's voice was steady and powerful, making everyone who heard it feel at ease.
Indeed, he was right, time will tell, no matter how many nice words you say, it's useless, you have to see how people act in real life.
Ma Xiuzhi nodded, everything was settled, and now it was time to return to another important matter. She tilted her head and glanced at Liang Qingqing, "Let's go, add as much chili as you want, and mother will make you fried bacon."
Hearing this, Liang Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, knowing that what was coming would eventually come. Ma Xiuzhi was going to interrogate her about the details of the two of them, such as when she fell in love with him, when they fell in love, whether she had done anything she shouldn't have done, what she was thinking...
This was also the reason why Liang Qingqing was distracted just now, she was thinking about how to answer.
"Okay."
Before leaving, Liang Qingqing subconsciously turned her head to look at Fan Yanxing, who was being held by Liang Junqiang's shoulders. The two of them were talking, but he had been paying attention to her. Almost the moment she looked over, he suddenly raised his head and cast a worried look.
Liang Qingqing bowed her eyebrows to him soothingly, then took two steps forward and held Ma Xiuzhi's arm and called out affectionately: "Mom, I want to eat something a little spicy."
"It's better not to, otherwise it will hurt your throat and affect your training."
"Mom is still thoughtful, hehe, it's great to have you."
A few words coaxed Ma Xiuzhi to smile again.
No one knew what the mother and daughter talked about in the kitchen, but since then, Ma Xiuzhi's hostility towards Fan Yanxing for "stealing her daughter" has been reduced a lot. The reason is that Liang Qingqing truthfully listed all the good things Fan Yanxing had done for her.
In Ma Xiuzhi's mind, anyone who was good to her daughter was on the same side.
Giving him a little bit of a good face was also a thank you.
At dawn the next day, the Liang family mobilized as if they were going to war and helped Liang Qingqing check if there was any luggage left behind. After all, she would be away for more than half a month and she probably wouldn't have time to go home during that time, so all the food, clothing and daily necessities had to be prepared to prevent her from suffering alone in the county town.
Ma Xiuzhi wanted to give Liang Qingqing some money, but she refused. After opening the box that Fan Yanxing gave her, he stuffed some money into Ma Xiuzhi's pocket instead. "Didn't the family owe some debts because of second brother's wedding? Pay them off first."
Ma Xiuzhi's eyes became hot and she almost burst into tears. She took a deep breath and patted the back of Liang Qingqing's hand. "Girl, you've started to use the money from your husband's family to support your parents' before you even get married. Aren't you afraid that Fan Yanxing will have a rift with you because of this?"
Since yesterday, Ma Xiuzhi's way of addressing Fan Yanxing has changed from Fan Zhiqing to calling him by his name. She probably didn't even realize this change.
Hearing what Ma Xiuzhi said, Liang Qingqing curled her lips nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? He has money!"
"You can't waste it like that." Ma Xiuzhi was interrupted by Liang Qingqing before she could finish her words.
"How can it be considered a waste if I give money to my mother? Mom, you are so harsh. Take it quickly. This is the gift from your daughter. If you don't want it, then I won't dare to honor you in the future." Liang Qingqing's tone became higher and she continued, "Besides, if Fan Yanxing dares to get angry with me because of money, then I will break up with him. If we are married, the worst that can happen is divorce." She
chose to cling to Fan Yanxing because of money. If he was so stingy even with this little money, then there was no need for her to live with him anymore. She should end the relationship as soon as possible and not waste her precious youth.
Liang Qingqing admitted that she was a little cold-hearted and biased, but that was what she thought, because Fan Yanxing promised her that he would support her in the future. But if he even controlled her to give money to her parents after the promise, that would be too stingy, and it would make his promise too false.
And...
"Mom, don't worry, Fan Yanxing is happy, he would like me to spend more of his money." This was not something Liang Qingqing made up, but Fan Yanxing said and did it himself. As soon as Liang Qingqing finished
speaking, Ma Xiuzhi wanted to refute her, but seeing her smug and serious look, she swallowed her words and couldn't help wondering in her heart, is Fan Yanxing really such a...
weird person?
After thinking about it, she could only think of using this word to describe him.
But it was a good thing after all, so Ma Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and took the money Liang Qingqing handed over. Her daughter was good in every way except that she was extravagant and could not save money. As a mother
, she helped her save the money and put it in her dowry and then returned it to her. "You should use the remaining money carefully. Even if Fan Yanxing is rich, he can't afford your spending. Listen to your mother and save it. You will have expenses when you get married in the future, especially after having children."
Ma Xiuzhi advised with her experience, and it was quite earnest.
Liang Qingqing's eyes widened, her cheeks and ears were flushed like the sunset glow, and her voice changed tone due to embarrassment, "Mom, what are you talking about? How old am I and you're talking about having a baby? I haven't even started yet."
After all, she was a little girl, and she got angry at the mere mention of a word.
Ma Xiuzhi pursed her lips and smiled, intending to tease her, so she deliberately said, "You're not young anymore. People of your age in the village have already married and had children. The wife of the Li family at the head of the village is pregnant with her second child."
"I don't want to have a baby so early." Thinking of the pain of having a baby, Liang Qingqing shuddered. She was young now and had no idea at the moment.
But it seemed good to have a child of her own flesh and blood.
"Let nature take its course. If you are pregnant, you can have the baby. If you are not pregnant, there is no need to worry." These words came out of her mouth, and even Ma Xiuzhi was stunned. Liang Qingqing realized what she was saying and quickly covered her face, "Mom, please forgive me."
Looking at Liang Qingqing's red neck, Ma Xiuzhi chuckled and stopped teasing her. It would not be good for her, a virgin, to say these words too much.
