Gu Qi tilted his cold and handsome face slightly and glanced at him lightly.
"To get housing, people must meet certain conditions. You can't get it just because you want it. There will be more buildings built in the northwest of the shipyard tomorrow, and they will be allocated to employees based on their job titles and years of service."
Gu Yi shrank his neck and had to tell the truth under the authority of his elder brother.
"Brother, if I stay... I can't just live in your house forever. I'm not a child anymore, I need to have my own place."
Gu Qi walked around Fang Qipan and said calmly, "There are staff dormitories in the factory, with a dozen people in each small room. If you don't like living with us, then you can live in the staff dormitory."
Gu Yi wanted to talk but hesitated, and after hesitating for a long time he still couldn't say anything.
Chen Xingling couldn't bear it anymore, and reluctantly spoke up to give her husband some advice.
"Ayi means that he is in a hurry to get married. If there is no small home for him to settle down here, the girl will have to wait for him. The girl is only a few years old, how can you let her wait for so long!"
Gu Qi frowned slightly and glanced at his brother.
"Is this the reason your sister-in-law mentioned?"
Gu Yi's face turned red, and he was filled with gratitude towards his sister-in-law, so he behaved obediently.
"Xiao Xing and I... have already decided to spend our lives together. I don't want to be separated from her, so I have been staying in Pingshuo Mountain and have not applied to return to the city. I am worried that my mother will not like her and will not dare to return to the city to find a job, so I have been dragging it on."
Gu Qi frowned slightly and said calmly, "If you don't have the ability to marry a girl, you shouldn't do anything that would affect her reputation. If mom doesn't agree, what about her family?"
It's impossible to hide the fact that you like someone else's girl on someone else's territory from everyone.
"She should agree." Gu Yi hesitated: "Her family didn't say anything...it's considered tacit consent."
Gu Qi's face was gloomy, and his words hit the nail on the head.
"If you want to marry a girl, you have to show your ability. You have no work and no money, what can you use to propose marriage and marry a girl? If you don't go back to the city to work and accompany your sweetheart, can you build a thatched hut in the mountains and take the girl home as your wife without any money?"
"...I can't." Gu Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice, "That's why I'm so worried."
Gu Qi said in a deep voice: "Troubles? If you don't have any troubles, then why don't you say it? This has been going on for a while, right? If you can't solve it yourself, why don't you come to me for advice and ask other people's opinions? If you don't have any problems or difficulties, why don't you try to solve them instead of going back to get yourself into a dead end?"
My younger brother would write to me from time to time, one letter every one or two months. I thought I knew his situation fairly well, but I never expected that he had hidden something so important from me!
If he can solve it himself, he, as his brother, will not interfere.
But in reality, there is nothing we can do, there is no way out at all, let alone solve the problem.
Gu Yi hesitated and replied, "I thought I couldn't let Xiao Xing wait for me too long... I might as well go back to the city to work first, and then save up money to marry her and live with her temporarily. Our house has so many rooms, it's spacious enough."
"What about mom?" Gu Qi asked calmly, "Do you think she will let you bring someone into the house?"
He knew very well what kind of person his father-in-law was.
If he hadn't made the decision to marry Xing'er promptly and decisively, once the old lady came, she would have broken up the perfect marriage.
Even if they have obtained their marriage certificate and the matter is done, the mother-in-law can still make a fuss and say that she does not agree with the marriage, and even instigate him to divorce and marry another woman a few months later.
If his wife had not been independent-minded and had not had her own persistence and principles, and if his wife had not been full of love for him and endured many humiliations and grievances for him, his family would have broken up long ago if his parents had not made such a fuss!
He is independent in character and financially independent, and he is the eldest son who supports a large family. Even his parents are like this.
My younger brother is not as good as me, so when it comes to my old lady’s territory, I can only let her do whatever she wants.
Gu Yi smiled bitterly and whispered, "Xiao Xing and I will beg mom together. Xiao Xing can only be wronged for the time being. When my job is stable and my company allocates me a house, I will take her to live alone."
"You are so naive." Gu Qi snorted coldly, "If there is no one in your company to help you rise up, you will have to wait at least ten years to buy a house with half the price."
Gu Yi: “…”!!!
Chen Xingling couldn't listen any longer and raised his voice: "If you really love the girl, you can't bring her home. You are going to hurt her, don't you know that? Have you forgotten? When you were in the second grade of junior high school, because your classmate let it slip, your mother suspected that you liked a girl from the mountains, and she acted as if she wanted to tear you apart? Your brother is right, you must be very naive to think that you can marry her smoothly. If begging your mother would work, you must know what kind of life these kids in your family have lived, right?"
Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. She didn’t want others to suffer the same pain she had suffered.
The old woman has distorted values and is vicious and cruel. Putting an honest country girl into the Gu family is undoubtedly like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!
When Gu Yi heard this, he hugged his head in pain and scratched his hair.
"I...I can't do anything about it!"
Gu Qijun's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You are not a child anymore. If you are a man, you should stand up and shoulder the difficulties. If you are a man, you must shoulder the responsibilities of a man, instead of just avoiding them. If you want to be independent and not be restrained by your mother, and if you want to be responsible for the girl, you must first have a stable job and income."
"My sister-in-law said so before." Gu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But when I think about how many more I have to do... I get worried!"
Chen Xingling said calmly: "Take it step by step. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. If you ask me, you should get the work done first, and then go back to get the materials. When you go back, calm your mother first, and then calm the girl."
"If I could choose, I would definitely choose Yucheng." Gu Yi explained: "I still like this place quite a bit. It's convenient for transportation and the weather is warmer than in Beijing. Moreover, with you guys here... we won't be alone here."
Chen Xingling suggested: "After you have worked for a while and saved up a few dollars, your brother and I will help you buy a house to live in first. If you can't wait, then save up the betrothal gifts first, marry the girl, and rent a place for the time being."
"Really?" Gu Yi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you first!"
If I don’t have the help of my elder brother and sister-in-law, and want to marry and buy a house on my own, I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait.
Chen Xingling laughed dumbly: "We are family, so we should help each other. Your brother is right. If you choose to go back to your hometown to find a job, we may not be able to help you. But if you stay in Yucheng, we will help you."
After hearing this, Gu Yi felt warm in his heart and his eyes became slightly moist.
"…Thank you, sister-in-law! Thank you!"
Gu Qi, who was driving, his eyes moved slightly, and he was secretly moved in his heart. He couldn't help but secretly glanced at Chen Xingling through the rearview mirror.
I only knew that she was kind before, but I didn't know she could be so generous.
She was so kind to her own relatives, so he should return the favor and be kinder to her relatives on her mother's side.
