Chapter 40: Jing Shang's Marriage

Jing Zhicheng is just a retired civil servant. Ordinary civil servants at the most basic level. How much savings can be made. A bride price of $990,000. For the Jing family, it is an astronomical amount.

Before he opened his mouth to mention the number. I didn't discuss it with my family at all. This is the most popular point of Jingshang.

"Dad. Can we not slap a swollen face and become fat? Will the Yang family not know the situation of our family. Aren't you making them look down on them all the more?"

"What to look down on. It's called valuing. Let them know. We attach great importance to Jiajia. It's just a girl. Pull big up and give it to us. Of course we have to pay attention."

"Yes. That's right. But that's not your solution."

Celebrate the New Year. Father and son argued. The food on the table was cold, and there was no fight to get out. Xiang Ling knew that she couldn't interject. But it's not too early. She said, "If you don't want to find your heart, you can only borrow a little first."

Jing Shang immediately vetoed it." The heart is the only way to have money. It's not Jiang Hao's yet. Don't look for it."

Jing Zhicheng said: "It's okay. Why don't you find the heart first, but borrow a little. Let's give her an IOU. Jiang Hao is good. I shouldn't say anything. Besides. It's all a family. We have difficulties. Don't look for the heart. Are you still looking for outsiders?"

Jing Shang is very angry. Although his family is not very rich and noble. But it's good to have no worries about food and clothing. He Jingshang has worked for all these years and has a little money. More than the top is less than the bottom. He also has his own little pride. Tell him to open his mouth and borrow money from Xinyu. He really can't open it. And I don't think it's necessary.

"Okay. You can do whatever you want. I'm not married to this marriage. Whoever wants to tie the knot will go." Jing Shang put down his chopsticks. Shook his face and left home.

Jing Zhicheng: "Dead boy, where are you going so late."

"I'm suffocating here. I'm in love with it."

Xiang Ling chased him out." Jing Shang. You come back. It's cold outside. You're back."

But. Jing Shang moves too fast. In the blink of an eye, it has disappeared into the hallway.

Jing Zhicheng sat at the table and sighed. There is self-blame for their incompetence. There are also complaints that the son does not understand him. He mentioned the nine hundred and ninety-thousand. First, I want the woman to see the sincerity of their family. Second, I don't want my son to be looked down upon by the woman's family.

"Anyway, it's both of them from now on. More or less are both of them. What does it matter if the bride price is a little more? Isn't that a little more pretty? It's all for someone else to see. Behind closed doors, it's all your own. It's just a matter of going through the process."

Watching Jing Zhicheng sit and complain to himself. Xiang Ling wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it. After all, she doesn't have a high status in this family. She is very grateful for Jing Zhicheng's care and companionship over the years. But. The Jing family's family style is really not good. She knows it well.

Xiang Ling sat next to her. Whispered, "Maybe we've overdone it. We thought it was for the good of the kids. But the kids don't think so. Don't take what we think we think is what children think."

Jing Zhicheng took a sip of wine. Say nothing." Back to the house. Sleep."

Xiang Ling looked at the table and sighed silently. It's the result of a long afternoon's work. But a lot of the dishes were left untouched. It's cold and hard, and no one cares.

But. She's still relieved. His own daughter is more competitive than anything else

The second day of the Lunar New Year. Qiao Xinwei and Jiang Hao went to Jing's house early to pay New Year's greetings. As soon as you enter the house. The keen Jiang Hao felt that the atmosphere at home was not quite right.

"Jiang Haoxinwei. Sit. Sit down."

"Mom. Don't be busy. We'll make tea ourselves." Qiao Xinwei took the initiative to steal the job of making tea.

The scenery becomes the usual smiling face. But when his eyes turned to Jing Shang. Always glaring at him." Jing Shang. Jiajia didn't say that she had many guests in the second year of junior high school. Let you go too. Meeting relatives for the first time. You go early. Should help."

Jing Shang looked impatient. Something about her family. You don't need me. I'm not going."

Jing Shang's tone was quite impulsive. I don't care about it at all, and there are Jiang Hao and Qiao Xinwei at home.

Qiao Xinwei heard something strange at this time. Her face looked like it was about to explode. Quickly move the conversation away. She asked, "Brother. When are the wedding photos taken. To catch the weekend. I can still run errands and carry stuff for you guys."

Jing Shang did not hide his dissatisfaction at all, and said: "Miss Renmin chooses good clothes. I made six big boxes and said I was going to move to the Maldives to take wedding photos. I'm not going to work anymore, I'm messing with her."

“??” Everyone was dumbfounded on the spot. Because of his tone. Tie the knot. It's a good thing. But now it seems. Not necessarily a good thing.

Qiao Xinwei was also speechless. Who would have thought that her diversion would instead shift to the spearhead. She said, "Brother. That's not right for you. Marriage is a major life event. Once in a lifetime. Nowadays, there are many young couples who take wedding photos while traveling. As far as our department is concerned. There are several couples like this."

"She asked me to take two months off to play with her. Go this, go there. Isn't that interesting? Just take a picture. Where is not the shooting."

“??” Qiao Xinwei couldn't answer. She knew that Jing Shang had always been a relatively low-key person. And Yang Jiajia. Love beauty, love to show, love to play, love fashion. If you are in love. That's complementarity. If you don't love. That's disgust.

Jing Zhicheng coughed lightly twice. There is Jiang Hao in. It's not good to put on a face like that." Do not say. Just go for it. There's always a place for you to help. Go."

"Don't go." Jing Shang sat on the sofa with a buttocks. The tough attitude made Jing Zhicheng's anger once again on the verge of eruption.

It's about to be overwhelmed. Xiang Ling shook her head and hinted that Qiao Xin was the only one to speak. The atmosphere suddenly fell into a realm of extreme embarrassment.

Then. Jiang Hao spoke. Steady attitude. The tone is also more casual." If you have something to say, you can say it. It's a good thing to get married. Don't be awkward for the sake of a momentary disagreement. Teeth have time to bite the tongue. Not to mention two different people."

Jing Zhicheng said approvingly: "That's it. What's wrong with young people going out and having fun. I still want to go out and hang out. It's a pity that the bones of the body are gone. Why don't you just ask for leave? Two months is too long for one month. You and Jiajia have a good discussion."

"Dad. I said that this marriage is not consummated, don't you understand?"

"You??" He jerked to his feet. My head is dizzy. Blood pressure is high again.

This one. Everyone is in a hurry.

"Dad. You slow down."

"Heart-only. Go get your blood pressure medication. in the bedside table drawer."

"Oooh."

Jing Shang was worried about his father's body. On the one hand, he refused to compromise for half a step. He really doesn't want to get married. But he knew his father's temper. So I didn't tell Yang Jiajia about canceling the wedding. He hasn't decided yet.

Jing Zhicheng took the medicine. Sitting weakly on the couch. Anyway, this matter is also talked about. He didn't want to hide anything anymore. Said openly and honestly: "Jiang Hao. Xinwei. Tell me about it. Isn't that all there is to getting married? It's time for us to be parents and we prepare. Just get married in peace. The rest doesn't have to worry about it at all. Speak to him. The stinky boy said he wouldn't get married in the end. You think you're a three-year-old."

"yes, man. There will always be contradictions when two people get along. Haven't I been running in with Jiang Hao for a long time? You haven't been together for long. It's normal to not understand each other enough. You tell Jiajia what you think. Jiajia will also understand. She's not an unreasonable girl."

Qiao Xin said with the only face. While pushing Jiang Hao with his elbow. Marriage is such a thing. Jiang Hao won't do it. Whether the two are compatible or not is only known to the parties. No matter how much outsiders say, it's useless.

But don't say a word for now. It doesn't make sense either. So he said, "Two months is a little longer. You can't afford to delay your work just for fun. But well. Wedding photo honeymoon is indeed not too much. Come to think of it, maybe you won't have the opportunity to go out and play in the future. Right?"

Jing Zhicheng sighed. He said, "Just for the bride price of 990,000 yuan. You're in a hurry with me, aren't you? Other people's families are unhappy because the bride price is too small. How did it get to our house. But it's the other way around."

"Dad. We don't have that much money, so don't say that big. The days are lived by the two of us. So that you have mortgaged your house and owed favors everywhere. I'm not having a good time." Jing Shang said. He can understand Yang Jiajia's big hands and feet. Marriage is just once. Her pursuit of perfection is understandable. But the father's deeds. He really can't look past it.

Jiang Hao then understood. After a long time, it turned out that the contradiction between father and son was here. A problem that money can solve is not a problem. Money he has. I'm just afraid that Jing Shang won't accept it. Also as a man. He understands.

"Bride price. Isn't this negotiable? That's a form. The money will be yours after that."

"Look. Even Jiang Hao said the same. You kid doesn't understand. I'm so mad."

Jing has nothing to say yet. More about it. He felt ashamed. In front of Qiao Xinwei. He's very humiliated." Yes. Say whatever you want. Can't I go?"

After speaking. He stormed the door in a rage. I'm afraid of making my father angry again.

"Jing Shang. Jing Shang."

"Brother. Why are you going?"

Jiang Hao pressed Qiao Xinwei. He gestured with his eyes. You take care of Dad. I'll go and persuade him."

Between men and men. One more understanding. It's also a little more considerate. But. Topics between men. You can never live without a woman. Especially two men who are in love with the same woman.

Jiang Hao chased downstairs and saw Jing Shang. He ran two steps to catch up. Put your arm on his shoulder and say, "Go. Find a place to sit."

Jing Shang is not very willing. But he didn't dare not give Jiang Hao's face." Celebrate the New Year. are all closed. Where can I go?"

"Is there a place where the door is not closed? Only what you don't want to find. There's nothing you can't find. It's like finding someone."

Jing Shang suddenly smiled. There are a lot of people who can't find a partner."

Jiang Hao said funny: "This is a society that looks at faces. Just our face. I won't be able to find the object. Do you really think that Yang Jiajia is not because you don't marry because you like your connotation. What is your connotation? Red or green."
