Chapter 348 Proposed
Now that the safety lock is in hand, the following matters need to be arranged as soon as possible.
Just as she had said to Xu Rou before, Zhao Min had already rented a house in the town.
Once the severance of ties with the Xu family is finalized, the whole family can move in directly.
In the past two days, because they thought that their final fate might be to be kicked out of the house, they took advantage of Xu Rou's school bag every day and the opportunity when the couple went to work to steal the more valuable things in the room where the family of three lived...
Ahem...
There doesn't seem to be anything valuable.
That is to take some useful items to the town twice.
The belief we uphold is that something is better than nothing.
Here, Xu Guomin's family has done the best possible preparations within their capacity, but what are the old couple of the Xu family doing on the other side?
"Old man, our previous plan was to find a family that could afford the bride price, marry off Xu Rou, that money-loser, and use this opportunity to get the money and items needed for the bride price for our youngest son. But now it seems that this plan is obviously not feasible.
I told you to ask the couple our biological son lives with for money, but you wouldn't let me.
The situation is here, what do you think we should do next? ”
When I heard my old lady mention for the second time in the past few days that her first biological child was with a couple in Shanghai, I quickly signaled her not to continue.
In fact, after talking about what happened that year with his wife in the house last time, Old Man Xu already regretted it.
This matter has been hidden for so many years, but since I talked about it that day, I always feel uneasy.
That is why when it was mentioned again, he immediately scolded the old lady not to mention it again.
After carefully confirming that there was no one outside the house, I still felt that I should explain everything to her. Otherwise, if I bring it up later and Xu Guomin really finds out, and something goes wrong later, it will be difficult to resolve.
“We knew back then that the family in Shanghai must be a wealthy family.
From the fact that the man named Xu Qingshan asked us to go to Shanghai and directly ask for his name, we can know that this family may be more than just rich.
How could someone without any ability or status be so confident to say something like that people can just ask directly and tell him their name?
We are dealing with such a capable family, and it would be a million times not worth it if we were to waste the kindness shown to them just because of something as small as a betrothal gift. ”
"This is not okay, and that is not okay. We can't let our youngest son be charged with hooliganism and let the sweet grandchild in the woman's belly be aborted, right?"
Old man Xu, who was also troubled by this problem, took out his pipe and lit it again. As he puffed on the cigarette and exhaled smoke rings, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation in his head.
“If it doesn’t work, find a way to get the boss’s current job back.
At that time, whether you sell the job directly and use the money to buy the bride price or use this quota to pay for the bride price, I believe the woman will agree. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Mrs. Xu quickly expressed her opinion: "Yes, yes, yes, they are now clamoring to split up the family, so let's use this as a condition."
But Old Man Xu, who came up with this idea, did not think it was as simple as his wife thought.
"I'm afraid this is just a matter of splitting up the family, and it won't affect my work at all. Well, let's just take it one step at a time."
Although the old couple has come up with a solution to the current problem, they have never thought that the reason they can survive now is entirely due to Xu Guomin's efforts and the salary from the job.
Before dinner that day, Xu Guomin was still looking for an opportunity to speak up and sever ties with this family, but the old couple of the Xu family directly handed the opportunity to him.
When the two of them implicitly suggested that he give up his current job, Xu Guomin naturally exploded.
In order to let people nearby hear what was happening here, he deliberately raised his voice as loud as possible while questioning.
And the neighbors did not disappoint. No matter if they were enjoying the cool air at the doorstep or waiting for dinner in the yard, after hearing the noise, they all gathered at the gate of Lao Xu's yard.
"Dad, Mom, I didn't expect you to come up with this idea.
Sometimes I really want to ask you, am I really the Xu family’s biological child?
Is this really the son that my mother gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy? ”
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on the old couple of the Xu family.
It was obvious that the two of them looked flustered for a moment after hearing these words.
At this moment, the old couple's hearts skipped a beat. They were thinking the same thing. They looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
"Could it be that Xu Guomin knew something?"
In the end, it was the old man of the Xu family who calmed himself down first and rejected the ridiculous idea just now.
Old Mrs. Xu also reacted, and perhaps because she felt guilty, she unconsciously used a louder voice than usual to refute the doubt that Xu Guomin had just raised.
"I told you that you are heartless. Now you are asking us if we are your biological parents. What I regret most right now is that I didn't give birth to you. I will strangle you to death immediately, you unfilial son."
