Chapter 22 Son-in-law
"Two hundred thousand!?" Except for Lingling, who was working hard to fight against the fritters, everyone at the table looked at Sun Wei in shock, obviously unable to believe that a small Concession Inspector could have so much silver.
Sun Wei was really able to dominate the public concession when he was appointed as the chief inspector of the first group of the Central Patrol Detective Group, and before that, he was able to earn only more than 10,000 taels of silver every month, which he turned into various shop properties in the public concession through Xie Xiaoshu, and the 200,000 taels of silver in his hands were only earned after he became the chief inspector.
Sun Wei looked at the surprised expressions of his parents-in-law and his wife, and a sense of pride arose, even though he did not earn the money, and then he described his current income situation to his family with a bit of a treasure.
"Why didn't you say you had so much money before?" After Wang Qian recovered from the shock, all that was left was resentment.
"You haven't asked, do I still tell you every day that I have 200,000 taels of silver!" Sun Wei knew that he would definitely become the target of the whole family's crusade if he showed weakness now, so he slapped Wang Qian upside down: "You said that you are not qualified as a wife, and you don't even know how much money your husband has, hey, what a failure!" ”
"You ......" Wang Qian looked at Sun Wei a little annoyed.
"Ahem...... Ah Wei, Qianqian, in fact, there is a sentence I have always wanted to say to you, but I have been hesitant, and now I feel that it is time. Wang Huairen coughed twice to interrupt the two of them, and then said a little seriously.
"Dad, what's the matter, you say, as long as Ah Qian and I can do it, we will do our best." Sun Wei is also right.
"Yes, Dad, if there's anything I want Ah Wei and me to do, you can just tell me." Wang Qian also nodded and said.
When Wang Huairen heard this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at Sun Wei Zhengse, and said: "Ah Wei, in the past, your mother and I were indeed like looking for a door-to-door son-in-law to provide for us, and we can inherit our family business after a hundred years." From the bottom of my heart, I am not satisfied with you being the son-in-law of our family, this is not that you are not capable, but you are too good at camping, and you are not a person who keeps to yourself and is honest by nature. ”
"Dad, how can you talk about your son-in-law like that." Sun Wei very much agrees with Wang Huairen's evaluation, but Wang Qian, as a wife, does not want her father to evaluate her husband like this.
"Ah Qian, don't say it, what my father said is actually not wrong at all, my personality is really not very peaceful, opportunistic is relatively strong, and sometimes even unscrupulous, people with such a character are mostly people with cold natures, not beloved people who are entrusted with life, and my father's previous opposition is indeed for your sake." Sun Wei interrupted Wang Qian's dissatisfaction and explained.
"But...... But you're not a cold-hearted person, and you're not bad to me and Lingling. Every time Wang Qian said a word, her voice dropped by one point, and in the end, it was estimated that only she could hear it.
"Ah Qian, you don't have to put gold on my face, I know very well how much of a bastard I have before, I really owe you and Lingling a lot over the years, but since I experienced this near-death and survived, I really woke up. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will be the most solid support for you and Lingling. Sun Wei naturally didn't hesitate to curse his predecessor with the most vicious words, anyway, the previous bastards didn't do it himself, of course, all of this was to pave the way for the last meaty words.
"Ah Wei, I'm ...... I ......" Wang Qian was indeed moved by Sun Wei's words, and was a little choked up and speechless.
"Mother, why are you crying, did Lingling make you angry again, Lingling is very well-behaved." Lingling heard Wang Qian crying, so she pushed away the spoon that Xiaolan fed her rice porridge, ran to Wang Qian, shook her arm and said.
"My little princess, your mother is not angry, but happy to see you so obedient." Sun Wei took Lingling into his arms as soon as he copied his hand, and then took the small bowl of Lingling porridge from Xiaolan's hand, and fed Lingling a mouthful of rice porridge a little clumsily and said.
"Oh!" Lingling nodded as if she didn't understand, her immature little face with a serious expression was simply cute.
"Knock knock......" Wang Huairen knocked on the table very dissatisfied, and then said: "Don't interrupt, I have something to do yet." ”
"Oh, Dad, you say, Ah Qian and I listen carefully." Sun Wei saw that Wang Huairen was a little annoyed, and hurriedly returned his daughter to Xiaolan, then sat up straight and said.
"Before Ah Wei came, my favorite son-in-law was Ah Xuan, the running hall of the Lin Fa Hotel next to our ready-to-wear shop, Ah Xuan's child was honest, reliable, hard-working, and had read, and he could take over my ready-to-wear shop with a little training, but he didn't expect to be ...... by you. ...... by you," Wang Huairen couldn't say anything when he said this.
"Hehe, I boarded first, I called it getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket." Sun Wei smiled and helped his father-in-law say what he had been ashamed to say.
To tell the truth, Sun Wei was very scornful of Wang Huairen's criteria for choosing a son-in-law, in his previous life, he was honest and reliable, hardworking and capable, and it was definitely a curse, as the so-called men are not bad, women are not loved, just like Anna doesn't like a serious Karenin and likes the playboy Vronsky, You Second Sister loves Jia Lian who is not doing his job, Du Shi Niang is infatuated with Li Jia and finally finds that he was deceived and angry and sinks into a treasure chest.
Wang Qiansheng also received a certain education in a girls' school in the concession, such as Liang Zhuhuadie, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, Sima Ru and Zhuo Wenjun, etc., a series of love stories are involved, it is the grade of the girl Huai Chun who naturally yearns for the touching romance, most of these girls would rather sleep with the interesting boys, and even work hard, rather than live a peaceful life with honest and reliable boys.
Although Sun Wei doesn't know how his predecessor got to Wang Qian, he saw that Wang Qian was able to care for Sun Wei lying on the hospital bed when he was left out, and there must have been a romantic behavior that moved Wang Qian deeply, which may be the difference between men and women, one lives in reality, and the other lives in a fairy tale.
"You should be serious, be careful to teach your daughter." Wang Qian complained a little shyly.
"Can you wait until I'm done before you speak!" Wang Huairen didn't appreciate his son-in-law's help at all, reprimanded them, and then continued: "In fact, Ah Wei's performance is as I expected, after his career, he began to become drunk, and his attitude towards Qianqian's mother and daughter is getting worse and worse, and Qianqian is also a stubborn character, not very flexible, so your relationship will only get worse, so in order for Qianqian to live a better life in our hundred years, I have the idea of persuading you to divorce, but I have been hesitating." ”
"No, Dad, you can't do this to me, I've already changed my ways." After more than half a month of life, Sun Wei already has a certain understanding of this era, and understands that a son-in-law like him is actually inferior to the wife of an ordinary family in terms of legal principles and status, and the wife's family wants to dissolve the marriage contract is simpler than ordinary people to divorce their wives, but he is unwilling to lose such a beautiful wife and lovely daughter, so he began to beg his father-in-law for mercy without backbone.
"Dad, Ah Wei has really changed his past since this injury, so you can bypass him this time." Wang Qian actually cherishes her current relationship with Sun Wei very much, and she also has her daughter as a bond, so she is naturally reluctant to divorce him.
"I'm just thinking from the past, can you please don't interrupt and let me finish talking!" The conversation was interrupted by his daughter and son-in-law continuously, and Wang Huairen was a little angry.
"Let's not talk about it, Dad, you say, we must listen carefully." Sun Wei hurriedly apologized.
Wang Huairen saw that his daughter and son-in-law really didn't speak, so he continued: "I did have the idea of divorce you before, but since Ah Wei was injured, things have really changed a lot, and I know that I love my wife and daughter, so I dispelled this idea." ”
Hearing this, Sun Wei and Wang Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Actually, since Ah Wei became the inspector of the patrol room, his identity as a son-in-law is no longer appropriate, and it is also appropriate for you to go out and set up your own door, but we have been suppressing and not agreeing considering Qianqian's situation, but this is not a long-term solution after all, Ah Wei wants to do it for a long time in the patrol room, and he must not always wear the hat of a son-in-law. I have always seen Ah Wei's performance after being injured, he can't pretend to be emotionally attached to Qianqian and Lingling now, and I also believe that Ah Wei has really changed his ways, so I agree with you to move out and set up your own business, so that Ah Wei doesn't have to wear the hat of a son-in-law. Wang Huairen finally stated his plan.
"Eh, isn't this a little urgent, I don't really care about what is a son-in-law or not." Sun Wei was also a little embarrassed that his father-in-law inadvertently said what was on his mind, so he said something against his heart.
Sun Wei, who was born in the countryside since he was a child, naturally knew what the son-in-law represented, there was a man in their village back then, the man was not only bullied by his wife's family when he was alive, and was looked down upon by the neighbors, but after his death, no one carried the coffin for him, which was extremely undignified in the countryside at that time, so he traveled to the end of the Qing Dynasty when the feudal ideology was stronger, and Sun Wei naturally wanted to get rid of the identity of the son-in-law at all times.
"I don't know what you're thinking, don't say these words against your heart, now we can see what is not a son-in-law, as long as Qianqian can be happy, we will be content." Wang Huairen said.
Sun Wei's breakfast was eaten for nearly half an hour, fortunately, the current rhythm of life is incomparably different from the previous life, compared with a cup of tea and drinking a morning, it is not a shocking thing to eat a meal in half an hour, during which Sun Wei's family of three finally made the decision to move out of Wang's house under Wang Huairen's decision.
