However, Li Ying is not so easy to deal with.
She just kept her head down eating from beginning to end, not even refusing to glance at Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing. Her face was extremely dark and she didn't give them any face at all.
Not only that, after eating, she immediately pulled Qin Tiantian into the room to discuss.
"Tianya, luckily you told me about this, otherwise I would definitely still be kept in the dark! They were all fooling around without telling me! Aqi was like this back then, and I didn't expect Ayi to follow his brother's lead and act on his own - it really pissed me off!"
Qin Tiantian's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "Aunt, I think marriage is a big deal, and we should let our parents make the decision. After all, you are my mother."
"If they were half as sensible as you!" Li Ying snorted coldly: "I wouldn't be so angry! Aqi sent me a telegram only after he got married, and Ayi followed his brother's example without even telling me! Each of them makes me worry!"
Qin Tiantian uttered "Ah", as if sighing or sighing.
"Aunt, Brother Qi had no choice but to do her a favor. If she hadn't been entangled with you, she wouldn't have gotten involved. Later, when Little Tiger was born, you had to accept her. She didn't dare to speak loudly in the capital before, but now she's showing off because Brother Qi loves her. I didn't expect that she would be so rude to you now. Aunt, I really love you."
Li Ying felt extremely aggrieved and choked up, "My son doesn't listen to me, and none of my daughters-in-law satisfy me... Oh my God, am I born to have a miserable life... Woo woo!"
Qin Tiantian hurriedly comforted her and said in a low voice: "Auntie, it's not too late to stop. Brother Yi is different from Brother Qi. He brought the person here directly, and none of the neighbors over there knew about it. For some things, you have to make a decision as soon as possible and don't delay."
"Yes!" Li Ying wiped her tears and nodded continuously: "Before many people know about it, hurry up and send her away. This matter really can't be delayed!"
When she heard that Chen Xingling was a country fisherman's daughter, she was furious and kept urging Aqi to divorce her. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant with little Tiger.
Later, because Gu Qi went abroad, the divorce was delayed, and it was delayed again and again until it was finally in vain.
This can't be dragged on like this!
Qin Tiantian lowered her voice and said, "Brother Qi got a marriage certificate before, so it was very troublesome for him to get a divorce. Brother Yi and that girl probably haven't got a marriage certificate yet. Without their parents' consent and a marriage certificate, they can't be considered a real couple after all."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Ying agreed, "You reminded me again! That definitely doesn't count! Drive her into the mountains, and I'll find someone else for Ayi later."
After a while, Li Ying called Gu Yi into the house.
Soon, Gu Yi roared: "Impossible! Don't even think about it! If she wants to leave, I'll leave! If she wants to stay, I'll stay! Anyway, I will never be separated from her in this life!"
Li Ying was so angry that he felt dizzy and started to curse at the top of his voice.
At this time, Chen Xingling opened the door and with a calm look, asked Gu Yi to go out first.
Gu Yi wanted to continue with red eyes, until Chen Xingling gave him a look, then he had to turn around and leave.
Chen Xingling closed the door and leaned lazily against the wall, looking at her mother-in-law who was so angry that she was about to smoke.
"Mom, do you know how much dowry we gave to Xiao Xing's family?"
Li Ying asked angrily, "How much did you give? What was the dowry? The people in those rural areas would be jealous of the money. There's a high probability that they don't even have a dime for the dowry!"
Chen Xingling replied: "Two hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, a few boxes of cigarettes and a few bottles of wine, plus ten bags of rice and flour."
Li Ying almost fainted after hearing this: "Two hundred dollars to marry a mountain girl? And so many good things?! Are you crazy? A few dozen dollars is too much!"
After a pause, she asked, "How much dowry did you give? It must be some, right?"
"A red envelope." Chen Xingling replied: "Eight dollars."
Li Ying: “…”
Seeing that she was so distressed that she wanted to go out to settle the score with Zhao Xiaoxing, Chen Xingling hurriedly pulled her over.
"Mom, the money was arranged by Aqi, so you can't blame anyone else. When Aqi comes, you can scold him if you want, because he gave the money anyway."
Li Ying was furious and cursed: "Why didn't you stop Aqi? How can you be his wife? He doesn't know how much betrothal gifts to give, and you don't know either?!"
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes secretly and asked back: "I have never married a daughter-in-law, how would I know how much I should give? Besides, the customs in different places are different, and I can't judge for sure."
Li Ying was so distressed that he kept rubbing his hands, his brows furrowed into small hills.
"Two hundred yuan! Two hundred yuan! And they also gave him cigarettes and alcohol! Oh my god~ and ten bags of rice and flour! How much do all these add up to! How much... How much~"
Chen Xingling said calmly, "So, you should think about it carefully. Aqi's money is the family's money. The family spent so much money to marry Xiaoxing. If you want to drive her away, won't the money be gone? If the money is gone, the person will be gone too. Our family will be left with nothing."
Some people will just mess around once they get impulsive, so she had to hit the nail on the head on where her mother-in-law felt the most pain, otherwise the problem would not be unsolved.
Li Ying felt even more distressed after hearing this, and gnashed her teeth, "Who said I wanted to drive her away! I've already given so much as a betrothal gift, how can I drive her away! How can I give so much money to marry a girl from the mountains! If Ayi marries a girl from a city family--"
"Mom." Chen Xingling interrupted her in a deep voice and asked, "So what if she's a girl from a city family? The only difference is a city hukou, right? Xiao Xing married A Yi and moved her hukou to the city, so she now has a city hukou, right? Did you see that just now? She's very capable, strong, and in good shape. She'll definitely be able to give you a few fat grandchildren in the future, and she can also help make money for the family."
Li Ying stared at her and asked suspiciously, "How do you make money? Village girls don't know anything! Most of them have never been to school and are illiterate!"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "It doesn't matter. She's hardworking and strong, and Aqi plans to introduce her to the canteen or logistics department as a temporary worker. If she does a good job, she'll have a chance to become a regular employee in the future. Think about it, Ayi will start getting a salary next month, and if Xiaoxing joins, the family will have two more sources of income."
Li Ying's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked in surprise, "Really? Aqi said he could arrange it?"
"Yes." Chen Xingling explained: "If it is a technical job, then you must have a basic knowledge of literature and technology. Temporary workers do not have high requirements, and most of them are physical work. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will not have to worry about not getting paid."
This was not bragging, but the truth. Zhao Xiaoxing was strong and hardworking, and she should be able to do well whether she went to the logistics department or the cafeteria.
In addition, it is not difficult to find a job as a temporary worker. The spouses of most factory employees can get certain work-related care. It is more difficult to find a regular worker, but as long as the factory director nods, temporary workers can just register their name in the Finance Department or the Personnel Department.
Gu Yi is already an employee of the factory. It doesn't require much to arrange a temporary job for his counterpart, so Gu Qi should be able to help arrange it easily.
Chen Xingling whispered, "A temporary worker can earn 10 yuan a month, and occasionally get meal and oil coupons as subsidies. After working for a year, wouldn't you have earned all the betrothal gifts? If you chase her away, Ayi will definitely fall out with you, and might even quit her job and run away with her. If you endure it, you can have another son and daughter-in-law who can make money. Think about it carefully and weigh it carefully."
Li Ying was stunned, but still unwilling to give in.
"There are so many good girls in the city... Why does he fall for a girl from the mountains? I really don't know what's wrong with him."
Chen Xingling secretly rolled his eyes and asked, "Are girls in the city really that good? Ayi's literary talent is not high, and her job is far away from Yucheng. Will the good girls there really want Ayi?"
