When Li Ying met Chen Xingling, she started crying and had no idea what to do. Seeing that Gu Qi and Gu Yi had not returned yet, she kept asking Chen Xingling what to do.
"Should we send her money? She said she wanted to buy a boat ticket back home - should we let her come back?"
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think? Do you approve of Chen Erliuzi as your son-in-law?"
"Uh." Li Ying was obviously stumped by the question and hesitated: "What do you mean by admitting or not admitting? It's already like this, what else can I say? Right?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "You can't say that. After all, they haven't officially married yet, and you haven't officially given your approval. If you approve of him as your son-in-law, then you must not agree with Ah Miao doing this."
Seeing that she immediately threw the question back to herself, Li Ying was in a dilemma again.
"I... I'm not unwilling. Now that it's like this, you have to admit it even if you don't want to, right?"
At first she cursed Chen Erliuzi to death, but he wrote to her quickly and even sent money to her, his mother-in-law, for the New Year - so she was not so angry anymore.
When my daughter grows up, she will get married sooner or later. Ah Miao is so selfish that it is unreliable to rely on her for support in old age.
As long as she can have a husband who can make money and love her, her daughter will live a good life. As for whether she marries far away, she soon becomes indifferent.
Since he's not reliable, it doesn't matter whether I marry someone far away or near.
In the old days, a few kilograms of millet could marry off someone else's daughter. Li Ying had lived in that difficult environment and was not too concerned about some so-called wedding ceremonies.
Chen Xingling analyzed: "If the family accepts Chen Erliuzi as their son-in-law, they shouldn't just listen to Ah Miao. She has already had sex with him and is even pregnant. If they agree to her coming back and send her money, Ah Miao will go back alone. If she comes back alone, she will have no relationship with Chen Erliuzi."
"That won't do!" Li Ying objected: "How can she come back with a big belly?! What if there's a storm on the way? She doesn't want Chen Erliuzi... Then why did she go with him? Why did she get pregnant with him!"
After all, Gu Xuan was an unmarried girl, so her cheeks blushed unconsciously when she heard this.
"Mom, don't get excited...just listen to your elder brother and his wife."
Li Ying couldn't calm down at all and paced back and forth in agitation.
"This damn girl! She was born to bring bad luck to me! She wouldn't listen when I asked her to study! She didn't read any books! She ran away to Southeast Asia with someone else, and she went so far away! She didn't even write to me when she came out, and she only thought of her family when she needed money!"
In the evening, Gu Qi came back with his son.
Gu Yi followed them and asked as soon as he entered the door if they could eat because he was hungry.
Zhao Xiaoxing was cooking in the kitchen and replied, "It will be ready to eat soon!"
Li Ying didn't even bother to eat, and hurriedly pulled her two sons to discuss what to do.
Gu Qi remained silent.
Gu Yi on the side said angrily: "She's already pregnant, and now she says she doesn't want Chen Erliuzi? What was she doing before?! Mom, we don't even know where she is - how can we help her!"
Li Ying cried, "But she is your biological sister. We...can't just ignore her. No matter how wrong she is, no matter how much she goes wrong, she is still my flesh and blood."
Zhao Xiaoxing shrank her head and gently stroked her round belly.
"If...if my sister-in-law A Miao is already five months pregnant...we can't give up the child. I heard from the doctor that the baby is too big...it would be dangerous to abort it, and it might even affect future fertility."
Gu Yi nodded hurriedly: "That's right! She's going to be a mother soon, but she doesn't want a baby because she dislikes the hard work of being a mother? What kind of disease is this? She's so hypocritical! Where in the world can there be such a cruel mother? Don't spoil her! Not at all!"
Li Ying shook her head: "I don't agree with this either. Women, sooner or later, will become mothers. She's already this far along in the pregnancy, how can she just say no? If she doesn't do this, there will be two deaths! How can I let her do that?"
Chen Xingling looked at Gu Qi and reminded him quietly: "Although Chen Erliuzi is not a decent man, he is quite reliable. He wrote to us before, sent money to mom, and asked relatives to send us a message. Although it is wrong for them to elope, it is true that they have made up their minds."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and understood it immediately.
Yes! No matter what, rice is cooked and wood is made, and some things can never be undone.
"Since Ah Miao has chosen him and is pregnant, we shouldn't indulge her willfulness. How can she not want the child? She is riding a bumpy boat back home with a big belly. What if something happens on the way? Just in case, don't send her money for the time being."
"…But what if she needs it urgently?" Li Ying asked in embarrassment.
Gu Qi was not too worried. He said, "Chen Erliuzi has relatives to take care of him. They are not alone in Southeast Asia. There is no need to worry. Didn't Ah Miao leave her address? I will send a telegram to ask later."
"Comfort Ah Miao." Chen Xingling reminded: "Tell her not to be impulsive. Long-distance bumpy ride with a big belly is very dangerous. If not for the child, you have to think about her herself."
Gu Qi nodded in response.
Li Ying couldn't help but whispered: "I don't know... maybe Chen Erliuzi is not kind enough to her."
"Not necessarily." Chen Xingling analyzed calmly: "In the letter, she said that she didn't have to work. Chen Erliuzi was busy during the day and had to go out before dawn. It can be seen that he was diligent and understood that she was tired with a big belly, and he didn't want to let her work. In addition, Ah Miao said that she didn't want this child, and Chen Erliuzi stopped her, saying that it was bad for her health and she must not do it. If he didn't care about Ah Miao, he wouldn't stop her. He also couldn't bear to leave Ah Miao, so he bought the boat ticket for her a long time ago, so why did Ah Miao write a letter to ask for money to buy the boat ticket herself."
After listening to her analysis, everyone agreed and praised her.
"That bastard is quite responsible!"
"She's very nice to her sister-in-law. A truly responsible man shouldn't let his wife suffer."
Li Ying finally felt relieved and said, "If there is no child, and she wants to come back...if she really can't get along with that Chen Erliuzi, then it's another matter."
Chen Xingling could tell at once that her mother-in-law had other thoughts in mind, and could not help but remind her: "Mom, this is Yucheng, not my hometown in Beijing. Most of the people here are overseas Chinese, and there are also many people traveling to Southeast Asia every year. The affair between Ah Miao and Chen Erliuzi is no secret. If Chen Erliuzi is irresponsible, that is understandable. But he works hard to make money, and sooner or later he will be able to make a career for himself. Let's not look down on the poor young man."
"But..." Li Ying was still a little unwilling: "Aren't they not married yet? Without a betrothal gift and a wedding, it doesn't count."
Gu Qi's face darkened and he said calmly, "But they even have a child, so they have to acknowledge it even if they don't want to. We don't care if he can be responsible and treat Ah Miao well, whether there is a wedding gift or not. Not everyone can stand a girl with Ah Miao's temperament."
"Yes!" Gu Yi couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, if Ah Miao chooses the person herself, no matter how bad or incompetent he is, she has to accept it herself, even if she has to grit her teeth. If you help her make the decision and she doesn't live a good life in the future, she will definitely blame you to death. Most men can't stand her bad and lazy behavior. I'm her second brother, and I can't stand it."
After listening to this, Li Ying was embarrassed and said nothing more.
As a mother, she knew her daughter's character. And now that she was married and pregnant, she no longer had the conditions to find another man.
Although Chen Erliuzi is not very serious, his hometown is in the capital, and the monk can run away but the temple cannot.
Besides, he was working hard in Nanyang now, and maybe he could make a name for himself in the future. Even if he could only make a living, at least he could be kind to Ah Miao.
The most important thing is that when others heard that the Gu family had a son-in-law from Southeast Asia, even if he had no real influence, he would still sound good in terms of reputation.
Forget it, my son and daughter-in-law have a point. I should just listen to them.
