Chapter 43: Father-in-law and Mother-in-law
"Abba." Tan Jiaren was surprised and said, "Why are you here?" ”
The middle-aged man is not tall, his face is thin, he is in his forties, and he smiles very easily with black-framed glasses. He was wearing an ordinary gray suit, which was cleanly washed, but his coat and leather shoes were a little old. Although he is dressed in a suit, he is already quite high-end in Liyang City, but it can also be seen that the middle-aged man's family is not wealthy.
"How old is Liyang, and if something so big happens, I should let me come. Here, let Daddy see. The uniform is good, very spirited, and my daughter is getting more and more beautiful. The middle-aged man opened his arms and hugged Tan Jiaren, who was screaming and jumping over like a little girl, into his arms.
Yu Bule walked generously in front of Father Tan, bowed, and then said, "Hello uncle, I am Yu Bule." It's Beauty's boyfriend and her current chief, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Father Tan heard Yu Bule's self-introduction, pushed his glasses, and reached out to shake hands with the young man in front of him, while looking at the "natural enemy" in front of him.
The young man was about 185 and tall, not strong and slightly thin. He looks in his 20s, very handsome, and can even be said to be delicate, with his medium-length hair neatly combed to the right. The straight bridge of the nose and the thin lips were all snatched away by the eyes that were not very large but revealed wisdom and depth. The gaze is clear, bright, and makes people feel close. I have to say that this young man is at least good enough to match his baby daughter in appearance.
As a county administrative officer and civil servant, Tan's father has seen police uniforms. Although he had never seen the police badge on his uniform, he still recognized the police rank insignia. Three silver stars and an oak leaf badge, which is the equivalent of a colonel or major general's senior superintendent badge. The highest-ranking police officer that Tan's father has ever seen, and he is only a junior police commissioner, and he is already the police chief of the Jiujiang City Government. He didn't even have a chance to talk to the other party himself.
However, how could a young man with a higher police rank appear in front of him like this, and claim to be the boyfriend of his precious daughter, not to surprise himself. Such a young colonel or even a major general is simply unheard of and has to face it squarely.
When young people shake hands, their palms are very warm, the strength is not very great and they are very strong, and the handshake time is not long or short, which reflects a good upbringing from the handshake. "Hello, I am the father of my family, Tan Zhiguo. Nice to meet you. You say you're the boyfriend of the beautiful woman, right? ”
"Yes, uncle. I met the beautiful woman when I was working in the Investigation Bureau, and gradually developed into the current relationship, although the time is a little shorter, but please believe that we admire each other. Yu Bule bowed again. This is Uncle Zhou, the elder of my family. ”
Uncle Zhou walked over, shook hands with Tan Zhiguo and said hello, and then said, "Hello Mr. Tan, I am Zhou Cheng, the young master's housekeeper, and I said that the elders have promoted me." ”
Tan Zhiguo didn't dare to underestimate Steward Zhou at all, after all, Steward Zhou's dress and bearing were there, and the aristocratic temperament exuded on his body made no one dare to underestimate him. After chatting with Steward Zhou for a while, Tan Zhiguo asked Yu Bule again: "Yu Bule, can I make you unhappy?" You haven't answered my daughter's question just now. Can you answer that? ”
"You are an elder, even if you call me unhappy." Yu Bule replied with a smile: "As for the resolution of this matter, it is based on the judgment of the personalities of several people present. First of all, the Li family, she wears satin clothes, and the Li family has never given less alimony to her father, and I heard that she is doing factory management in the factory in Jinling, which shows that their family is doing quite well in Jinling, at least the fight for family property is not for their own use.
And the neighbor also said that the relationship between the big and small Li families was very good before, and the two sides moved around more frequently, although this person was meticulous, but he was not an unreasonable person, so the younger generation judged that she should be encouraged by the Liu family to fight for the shop for the Liu family.
Let's talk about her daughter-in-law, Li Liu. Although this woman is a little bitter and a little greedy for money, she has never seen the world, has no responsibility, and never dares to speak out in the face of powerful people. Judging from her personality, she should be the main force fighting for the inheritance.
As for the Liu family, although they have the intention to take advantage, they may not have much to take. Judging from the people they followed, Liu Dayou, who can call the shots, is a cautious and meticulous person, mostly watching and pressing, and he may not be willing to make much effort when he really fights. Moreover, the Liu family's attire also belongs to the top characters of Liyang, and they will not really tear their faces and be honest.
Therefore, as long as the momentum of the Li family's daughter-in-law is suppressed on the scene and the Li family is forced to make a statement, it is not difficult to do this. That's why my uncle was able to successfully mediate several times before. Because the Li family himself doesn't have much to fight, it's just that every time he goes back, he can't stand the nagging of his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law, and he is also a little uneven, so he will come out again and again. ”
"Then how did you make a judgment in a short period of time, and you didn't listen to Grandpa Liu's introduction more than me? In addition, will the daughter-in-law of the Li family be unwilling to go back this time and make trouble again? Tan Jiaren asked the question in her heart for her father.
I heard it outside the door, and the loudest quarrel was the voice of Li's daughter-in-law, and eight out of ten sentences were her shouting. If you listen to the success of the previous mediations, it is not difficult to draw conclusions. As for the future, there should be no more trouble. First, Da Li's father and son had no intention of competing for the family property, but they couldn't screw their daughter-in-law noisy, so they let them come forward. Second, although the daughter-in-law of the Li family is brutal, she has been frightened this time, and even if she is not convinced, she will not be too noisy anymore, and the Li family, who is convinced, will not support her, and she will not make trouble. Third, the Liu family had no intention of taking it, and this time they stated in public that they would never be in the dispute between the two families in Chanhe. So I'm sure it's over. ”
After hearing this, Tan Zhiguo only had one admiration left in his heart, the more he looked at the young man in front of him, the more comfortable he became, but unfortunately it was still working time, so he could only leave the house key to Tan Jiaren and would go to work briskly. After work, you can go to school to find your wife and tell her that your baby daughter is coming home with her boyfriend. He made up his mind in his heart.
Liyang County is really not big, and before he got off work in the afternoon, the news that Tan Jia had caught a golden beetle in the capital circle had already spread throughout the city. Because the things of the two big carriages were sent to Tan Jiaren's house from the freight area of the station, the live wild geese on the first carriage made everyone understand that this was the bride price of Nacai and Nazheng. And the unhappy performance in Lao Li's house in the afternoon also spread.
Today is already Saturday, and tomorrow happens to be a day off. After work, when Tan Zhiguo went to Liyang School to find Tan Jiaren's mother Yuan Hong, Tan's mother had already heard from her colleagues that Yu Bule was coming, and she was anxiously waiting to get off work.
The old couple quickly discussed Yu Bule's situation, and Yuan Hong returned home with Tan Zhiguo with inner apprehension. As soon as I entered the house, I saw that the yard was full of boxes, and Tan Jiaren was accompanying Steward Zhou and Yu Bule to take out the things in the boxes one by one and send them to a suitable location. Food, clothing, housing and use, all kinds of items are readily available, everything is available, and they are all high-end items, and even many of them cannot be bought in Yangzhou Prefecture.
Tan Jiaren saw her parents come home and hugged her mother warmly. Yuan Hong can only be regarded as delicate, not outstanding, this pair of parents can give birth to a beautiful daughter like Tan Jiaren, which is a bit of an alternative that completely integrates the parents.
Mother Tan simply said hello to her daughter twice, and then came over to greet the guests. The guest and the host sat down, and Yu Bule gave Tan Jiaren's parents a detailed introduction to his situation, of course, the matter of the punisher would definitely not be mentioned. Except for Lin Linglong, no one can share this secret.
When they heard that Yu Bule was going to marry four brides at once, the two old men could still accept it, but when they heard that Yu Bule was going to marry twelve partial houses, they couldn't help but fall silent.
In the end, Tan's mother Yuan Hong took Tan Jiaren to the kitchen to "work" on the grounds of preparing dinner, leaving Tan Zhiguo to stay in the living room to entertain guests, and soon Tan Zhiguo was also called by Tan's mother to help. Yu Bule could naturally imagine that there would be a family discussion in the kitchen.
In fact, for Tan's mother, a son-in-law like Yu Bule naturally makes her love more and more the more she looks at it. For the Tan family, a family like the Yu family is unimaginable and unattainable, and now that their daughter has the opportunity to marry each other as the main room, theoretically speaking, they can't be dissatisfied. But who is a parent who doesn't think about his children? The more they asked their daughter about Yu Bule and the situation in the other main and side rooms, the more hesitant the two became.
The Tan family knows very well what their family should be in the eyes of the other party. I heard that two of the other three main rooms are the granddaughters of lieutenant generals and one is the granddaughters of major generals, and almost all of the side rooms are famous, so I can't help but think about it more. Although the identity, status, and respect of the Tan family in Liyang City are also lacking, but in Jiujiang City, the Tan family is an innumerable little person, let alone in Yangzhou and the Federation.
And the Yu family, at least financially, has stood at the top of the whole federation. In terms of status, although Yu Bule's parents died, the two of them, as senior advisors of the Federation, are definitely famous figures in the annals of history, not to mention that he also has a teacher who is a top scholar in the Federation. And Yu Bule himself, who was even known as the Federation, was recognized by the capital circle on the first day, although the two had not heard of it, but from the fact that so many Tianjiao daughters who couldn't look up to their own families still wanted to give Yu Bule a concubine, it was enough to see his status in the upper echelons of the Federation.
Although Yu Bule is a little older, the second elder is absolutely satisfied in other aspects. But what I'm most worried about now is the relationship between my daughter and other wives and concubines after she passes through the door. If her daughter marries and is bullied by other wives and concubines, and Yu Bu is not happy, who will her daughter cry to? In the background of the competition, there is nothing left of your own family that will be crushed by others.
