Chen Xingling asked bluntly: "It's okay for you, a grown man, but the girl's youth is only a few years old, can she withstand you wasting her time like this?"
"I..." Gu Yi hesitated and whispered, "I really don't know what to do."
Chen Xingling folded the quilt and put it aside. He said calmly, "If you really want to marry that girl, and she loves you deeply and is determined to marry you, then you have to plan for your future. Especially you, you must take on the responsibilities that a man should take on."
Gu Yi swallowed and forced a smile.
"Sister-in-law, if I do the same as my elder brother and act first and ask for permission later, will my mother... scold me to death?"
Chen Xingling laughed dumbly: "Why did your brother act first and report later? The reason is not hard to guess - because he knew that if your mother knew in advance, he would not be able to get married. At the beginning, he said that the time for obtaining the marriage certificate was tight and there was no time to inform the family, but it was actually just an excuse made by your brother. What happened later? Did your mother scold your brother to death?"
Forehead?
Gu Yi rolled his eyes and soon laughed.
"My eldest brother is a very good person - how could my mother dare to do anything to my eldest brother. But to be honest, I am different from my eldest brother! First of all, he is the eldest son in our family. After my father passed away, my brother has been in charge of everything in the family. You know my mother, once something happens, she can only cry loudly. In addition, the family depends on my brother to support it alone. Even if my mother is dissatisfied with my eldest brother or angry with him, she dare not do anything to him."
Chen Xingling was impressed by his thorough analysis.
"Yes, you are right about the reasons. However, the last point is the fundamental reason. If an adult wants to be truly independent, the first thing to be independent is financial independence. If you can marry a wife and live independently with your wife, why do you have to worry about your mother's objection, right?"
Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
Chen Xingling said, "If your brother hadn't gone abroad to study for two years, Xiao Huzi and I wouldn't have had to go to Beijing to be manipulated by your mother. At the beginning, your brother and I lived a happy life. We only needed to send money to your mother to support the family, and we didn't have to worry about anything else. Your mother is not old, and she doesn't need us to take care of her closely. You know that most of her ideas are wrong. You should learn from your brother's attitude, listen to her when you can, and don't listen when you shouldn't."
After saying this, she clapped her hands, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Hey! Sister-in-law!" Gu Yi suddenly stood up and called her, "Wait! Wait!"
Chen Xingling stopped.
Gu Yitao smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do now? When you helped me out before, you said my brother could help me find a job here... Is that true?"
"Really." Chen Xingling nodded: "I don't need to lie to you. When we were back home, did your brother suggest that you go south with us? I think so, right?"
Gu Yi hurriedly replied, "However, he didn't mention the job, he just said that the environment here is more relaxed than that in Shangjing City, and there are more opportunities."
"Wait for your brother to come, then you can talk to him in detail." Chen Xingling said: "As far as I know, he is absolutely capable of helping you find a formal job in the shipyard. If you want, your brother will help you."
"Hey!" Gu Yi smiled instantly: "With this work, my mother will naturally relax her vigilance. My hometown is thousands of miles away, as long as I don't let my mother know for the time being, what can she do to me!"
Chen Xingling laughed softly and reminded him in his heart.
"The key is that the girl is still in the mountains. You can't just take care of yourself."
In the original book, Gu Yi was forced to stay in the city by his old mother. The poor girl couldn't wait for him, and later married someone else by mistake. In the end, they missed each other and regretted it for the rest of their lives.
Gu Yi already had an idea and patted his chest confidently.
"When my job is confirmed, I will quietly tell her to wait for me for a while. I will marry her after I save money and get a house here."
Chen Xingling didn't make all the decisions for him. After all, this was someone else's lifelong decision, so just a little guidance would be enough.
"Okay, you still have to take care of the girl. In fact, if you stay here, we can take care of each other."
My husband is worthy of his last name "Gu", he is definitely a typical family-oriented man. Whether it is the big family in his hometown or his own small family, he wants to take care of them wholeheartedly. Gu Yi is his biological brother, he will help him to the end.
Of course, she had a good relationship with her brother-in-law and would try to help him within her ability.
At this time, little tiger came running in and shouted, "Uncle! I'm thirsty!"
Gu Yi hurriedly took his little hand and went to the kitchen to get some water to drink.
Chen Xingling turned around and went into the master bedroom, carefully locking the door.
The master bedroom has two windows. One faces the sparkling river and is larger in size. The other is smaller in size and is similar to the "Linjiang Building", through which you can vaguely see the suite on the side.
After observing it for a while, she quickly entered the hyperspace and found a piece of blue curtain gauze to hang up.
As early as forty or fifty years ago, very beautiful window screens appeared. Such styles are also sold in department stores, but the quality is far inferior to the soft and thin ones in Super Space.
After hanging the window screens, she put away the furniture.
Then, she squatted down and looked under the bed, and soon found the large brown shell that she had given to Gu Qi, and she used all her strength to pull it out.
The shell was more than two feet wide and more than ten centimeters high. Such a large shell is very rare in shallow waters. When it was first taken out of the water, it was covered with oysters, seaweed and moss.
She spent several days slowly soaking, washing, scrubbing, prying and grinding it, finally restoring it to its true appearance - hard as stone, pure as snow!
This is her favorite treasure and she has always treasured it very much.
Later, she fell in love with Gu Qi and shyly gave him the big treasure. Later, this big guy became the "piggy bank" of the couple. There was a small gap to put money in, and professional tools were needed to pry it open to take money out.
The shells were as shiny as new, without much dust, and it was obvious that Gu Qi came here regularly every month to "invest money".
She opened the big shell and found it was full of five or ten-yuan coins, each of which was folded into a neat square. It was obvious that this was Gu Qi's standard style.
Wow~~~~!! This is the first time she has seen so many small bills!
She slowly categorized them, separating out the five or ten yuan. At first, she only saved five yuan. She guessed that later, when Gu Qi got a promotion, he sometimes saved ten yuan.
After careful classification, I found that there were quite a few ten-piece items, probably around two hundred.
Chen Xingling was secretly a little excited and quickly counted the money - there was actually four hundred and fifty-five yuan!
In an era when the average wage was only 40 or 50 yuan, this amount of money was considered a huge sum!
All the food she had eaten on the train recently was from the supermarket. The various gifts from her mother's family and the things for decorating her home were also supplies in the space, so she had not spent the dozens of dollars she earned at the end of the year.
If you calculate it, their family’s current savings should be - a little over 500 yuan!
Chen Xingling put two hundred yuan in his pocket and put the rest into the shells. He quickly packed everything up and returned it to its place.
She said something to Gu Yi and her son, then hurried downstairs.
