Chapter 687: Mother's Wish 9
is probably afraid that the conversation will collapse and affect the mood of eating, or it may be with the mentality that only when you are full will you have the strength to tear up, during the meal, Li Jing did not mention the bride price, it was all a scene of hypocrisy and no substantive nutrition.
The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, Lin Xiaoman chose to eat first, after all, food is innocent and can't be wasted.
One dish after another was brought up by the waiter.
After three rounds of drinks, full of tea and food, a table of dishes, almost bottomed out.
Putting down the chopsticks and wiping her mouth with a tissue, Li Jing obviously finished eating, and Lin Xiaoman, who also ate about the same time, took two more bites of vegetarian dishes, and then put down the chopsticks as well.
"Mother-in-law, eat more, if this dish is not enough, let Xiao Yang order a few more." Li Jing smiled politely.
I have to say that this person's superficial work is very well done.
"Enough, enough, any more will be wasted." Lin Xiaoman waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to, "I'm already very full, I can't eat." ”
"What about you?" Li Jing asked the other three.
The three of them unanimously said that enough was enough.
"Since everyone has eaten, mother-in-law, let's talk about the two children." Li Jing sat upright, even if it was a dinner table, it was quite a bit of a parent-teacher meeting.
Lin Xiaoman nodded, and waited for her later text without speaking.
"I'm a person, I speak more straightforwardly, what to say, I like to be open and honest, if I say something that I don't like, I hope you don't mind my mother."
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I won't rest assured, such a big thing as marriage must be discussed."
"Then I'll just say it, we are also an ordinary family, we bought a house, and there is not much money left in the family, and the money for this banquet is still counting on the next salary, so we will not pay this bride price."
Li Jing went straight to the point, with a lofty attitude, expounding her attitude and the local situation, "Mother-in-law, if we get married here, if it is an only child, there is no such thing as marrying or not marrying, that is, getting married." In a better family, the woman's parents have prepared a car and a house for their daughter. Ordinary people, that is, the man out of the house, the woman out of the car, plus decoration. The elders of the two families contributed money and efforts together to create a material foundation for the young couple to form a new family.
Mother-in-law, I'm thinking, you are also a daughter, and she will definitely want her to provide for you in the future, it is impossible to ignore you, right? So it's not the same if you don't get married? It's not a married daughter, and there is no such thing as a bride price. ”
Li Jing had a long speech on the head.
Regarding her words, Lin Xiaoman can only say that they are still very reasonable at first glance.
After thinking about it carefully, heh, don't you think they are outsiders and think they are poor! Speaking of which, Li Jing just doesn't look down on them, and she doesn't look down on Shen Xinyi, the daughter-in-law.
In the future development, after Li Yanying separated the two, because of Shen Xinyi's depression, Li Yanying also specially inquired about the situation of the Zhou family, and later Zhou Yang married a local only daughter. It is said that the woman is a teacher in the same school as Li Jing, and her family lives in a villa, so her family is wealthy. It is said that the Zhou family gave a full bride price of 280,000 yuan, and it is said that the woman not only married the house, but also bought a Daben with hundreds of thousands of dollars for Zhou Yang.
After thinking about the connection before and after, Lin Xiaoman probably understood Li Jing's psychology.
Zhou Yang and Shen Xinyi dated when they were in college, and it stands to reason that the two should get married as soon as they graduate, but the Zhou family never mentioned it, so it dragged on for four years.
Lin Xiaoman felt that Li Jing's snobbery must have been secretly dismantled, but unfortunately, she didn't break up, and she didn't want to stiffen the mother-son relationship by forcibly demolishing it, so she dragged it, maybe she broke up after dragging it out.
It's a pity that I didn't break up, and I couldn't drag it on, so I could only reluctantly agree to the marriage.
In Li Jing's view, this marriage is that they have climbed high, and their Zhou family is a high-handed charity.
The status is unequal, and of course there is no qualification to sit on an equal footing, and there is no room for negotiation.
That's why Li Jing is like this, a kind of 'If you want to enter my house, you have to listen to me, otherwise you will get out!' 'mentality.
"Xiao Yang, do you think so too?" Li Jing's attitude is impossible to change, unless she is rich at home, and no matter how much she talks to her, it is nonsense, Lin Xiaoman once again turned the finger to Zhou Yang.
Ever since Li Jing opened her mouth to talk about business, Zhou Yang shrunk his neck and silently lowered his sense of existence.
At this time, he was named by Lin Xiaoman, so he could only raise his head stiffly, first looked at Shen Xinyi, and wanted to fight for it in shame, but he unconsciously quietly looked at Li Jing's face before speaking.
As soon as Zhou Yang looked at it like this, he immediately received Li Jing's sharp gaze with a hint of warning.
Before leaving this morning, he was ordered by Erti for more than an hour, and Zhou Yang didn't dare to say anything about him, "Auntie, I will definitely be good to Xinyi." ”
Cowardice!
Lin Xiaoman scolded secretly in her heart, Shen Xinyi, who was sitting next to her, put her hand under the dining table and shook her arm slightly, that small action obviously told her not to embarrass Zhou Yang.
"Okay, anyway, it's just a formality, then according to the rules on your side, the bride price will be forgotten." Lin Xiaoman didn't insist, and instead asked, "Since there is no such thing as a bride price, then we don't need to prepare the dowry here, right?" ”
"Mother-in-law, you still don't understand what I mean, our only child here doesn't have a bride price. However, it is two families, and the elders jointly fund to provide a material basis for the young couple to form a new family, after all, today's young people have only worked for so many years, and they do not have the economic strength at all. Li Jing said as a matter of course.
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law, I don't read much, I don't have education, I don't understand it too well, what do you mean by co-financing?" Although his heart was clear, Lin Xiaoman still pretended to be confused and asked clearly.
"It's that my family bought a house, and this wedding house is where they live, so your family should be responsible for the decoration, right? And now that I'm married, Xinyi will definitely not be able to live in the dormitory anymore, and for the convenience of going to work, I should buy a car. ”
The man buys a house, the woman decorates, and the name is not added!
This is a hooligan!
Lin Xiaoman hehe.
Li Jing continued, that tone was completely to explain the reality, and there was no room for refusal, "Of course, I know that it is not easy for you to raise Xinyi by yourself, Xinyi, who has just worked, so we don't have any requirements, just decorate them and live in them, as for the car, Xinyi likes it, anyway, she drives it." ”
didn't expect them to buy a good car, Li Jing simply didn't want her son to be too tired.
"Mother-in-law, buy a car for Xinyi, I have no opinion, but your house, let us pay for the decoration, it's not appropriate, right?"
"It's not that my family has no money, and this wedding house is where they live." Li Jing is full of posture as it should be.
Lin Xiaoman, who was too lazy to tear up, once again named him, "Xiao Yang, what do you think?" ”
"Auntie, I will definitely work hard to earn money, and I will never let Xinyi suffer!" Zhou Yang assured again.
Lin Xiaoman:!
