Chapter 120: Premeditated Dowry
Not long after Li Jianjun left, Old Man Lin looked at his wife meaningfully, "If you are looking for a partner, you have to be like this, you know how to advance and retreat, you have strong ability, and everything else is empty." Our two sons-in-law just don't have a family background, and they are both dragons among people. ”
After speaking, he looked at the time, frowned, pointed out angrily, and said to his wife: "Look at it, she hasn't come out yet, and she doesn't know that the elders in the family are waiting for her." Forget it, that's it, Yang Jiaken will send it over as soon as he receives it. I'm impatient to wait. I'll go to work first, and you can just leave her alone, just this attitude, alas, don't talk about it. ”
Mrs. Lin watched the old man get into the car accompanied by Xiao Zhou and then went back to the living room. As soon as I came in, I saw the eldest daughter-in-law glaring at the eldest granddaughter angrily, and looking at the younger daughter suspiciously, what is the matter?
Lin Liying shrugged her shoulders, shook her head, and motioned to look at Lin Xueling.
After a long time, Chen Jingru sat down with her shoulders down, frowned, and looked at her daughter, "Then you decided to marry him?" You're going to have to tell me what you like about him? Family? Looks? Character? Mom is for your good, at least I want to confirm his character and temperament. I always have to find someone to inquire first, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it will be too late to get married next year, what are you anxious about? ”
Lin Xueling looked at her with a cold face, "I'm 22 years old, I have my own ideas, I understand what I want." I don't want to wronged myself for some money in the future, I just want to be stable, in addition to being shorter, he can have a family background and work, I don't want to be like the good sisters in the compound, just find a soldier, and I can't see each other a few times a year. If you have something, you have to carry it yourself, you have to bear the hardships by yourself, and you have to worry about job transfer from time to time. I don't stay in the capital well, marry chickens and follow the army everywhere, am I crazy or my brain is burning? Yang Liqun's family is the only son, his father is the director of the hospital, and his grandfather is in the Ministry of Health. ”
Chen Jingru was silent for a moment, looked at her resolute expression, and persuaded: "Then don't worry, you wait for your mother to take a look first, and I'll inquire about their family." In a hurry, what if something goes wrong? Besides, your dad is coming back, so I want him to take a look. ”
Lin Xueling shook her head and smiled at the old lady and sister-in-law, "Grandma, little aunt, don't persuade me, my dad will come back, I will explain to him, he will support me." Grandma, you should prepare a dowry for me to marry, I don't want Zhou Jiao to marry with a sewing machine like that, you can't laugh off your big teeth in this compound. ”
Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Let's not say that your father hasn't agreed yet. Let's talk about the dowry first, three turns and one ring, you have it, what dowry do you still lack? I see that the best dowry for the girls in the compound is not only three turns and one ring, that is, the wardrobe, the new quilt, and the new coat. ”
Lin Xueling's face changed when she heard this, and she quickly covered it up. With a smile, he stepped forward and pulled the old lady's arm, shook it, and stomped her feet, "I don't believe that grandma won't give me some jewelry, but I know that my aunt has secretly prepared a lot of dowries for Zhou Jiao." My mom really said she loved me and didn't prepare anything for me. Grandma, I can look at you, how can I not miss Zhou Jiao too much, she is a rural girl, and there are only two sets of yards in the capital alone, not to mention the things that my aunt has been preparing for so many years. Otherwise, grandma, you can take me to see what I need to prepare. ”
The smile on Old Lady Lin's face froze, and she lowered her head in disguise, "You stupid boy, how can our family compare with Zhou Jiao, there are several brothers and sisters below you alone, who has prepared a dowry?" Jiaojiao's father has a family background left behind in private, and your aunt will Jiaojiao have a daughter, who will she not give her? Grandma left some things, not much, but I can't give them all to you, you have three younger brothers below, and you will start a family soon. ”
Chen Jingru was so dry that her face turned red, and she secretly glanced at her sister-in-law, and sure enough, she saw her looking at Xiaoling with a cold face. This child is so stupid, how can there be a special staring at the old man's private property. The old lady only gives a lot of things to her grandson, not even her daughter, let alone her granddaughter.
Lin Liying sneered a few times, and when Lin Xueling glared at her, she was so angry that she couldn't even bother the old lady and said, "Don't you stare at me, don't you want to see Jiaojiao's dowry?" You think others don't understand. Don't look at it, you can't sleep after watching it.
Do you know what kind of life you have lived in these years, what kind of life has Jiaojiao lived? She's a rural girl, her dad is back, she's really not an ordinary golden doll, do you know what I mean?
Zhou Xiaozheng, Zhou Jiao's father, he married your eldest aunt after making a fortune, which is different from the little uncle you look down on. He loved this only daughter so much that on the day he gave birth, he went around to report the good news, and went crazy shouting that he had a baby girl. Holding Jiaojiao all night, no one can compare to his daughter in his eyes, and even a fart is fragrant. I talked to your eldest aunt all day long about starting to prepare the dowry early, and in the future, his daughter will be a little princess, and no one will dare to touch a single hair! Now that the little princess of his family has become an outcast and an orphan, no one can imagine what will happen when he returns!
Are you brain-burned, and compare yourself to her? Fortunately, tell me at home, do you know why your grandfather and your aunt went to see Jiaojiao this time? is worried that Zhou Xiaozheng will come back and know that no one in our family has ever visited her, your aunt has abandoned her for 17 years, Zhou Jiao has resentment in her heart, Zhou Xiaozheng will hold a grudge and separate from your aunt.
If you don't say it, you don't have to use your brains? Do you really think you are the eldest lady of the Lin family? Don't be unconvinced! It's useless for you to stare at me again. In terms of identity, Zhou Jiao is not lower than you, although your father came back from a mission with Zhou Xiaozheng, but your father's position was more than two levels lower than your eldest uncle.
Now that Zhou Xiaozheng has returned from meritorious service, 17 years of credit, how many levels do you say to be promoted? In the Lin family, except for your grandfather, anyone who sees him has to call the chief. You know what I mean? You really can't compare with Zhou Jiao, you still have a younger brother, don't you care? If you want to get married, you can compare the pomp and circumstance of the girls in the compound with peace of mind, don't think too much. ”
Lin Xueling's face was flushed, she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, she bit her lip and glared at Lin Liying.
Lin Liying crackled and said yes, and put down the finger pointing at her.
She said aggrievedly with tears in her eyes: "How can I look down on my little uncle? You just have an opinion about me, and you always can't get used to me. I just want to see what happened to Zhou Jiao's dowry? I didn't say I wanted to give me some - besides, my aunt just gave me a few, and Zhou Jiao didn't know. My aunt has only one daughter, but she also has three nieces. The money spent on these dowries is not from the Zhou family, it is from the Lin family, and it is my aunt's own salary, so what if our Lin family wants it? Don't even look at it! ”
Lin Liying jumped to her feet angrily, pointed at the old lady and Chen Jingru with her fingers, and shouted repeatedly, "Mom, look at it, look at it, sister-in-law, listen well, this is the child we spoil the eldest child." She was also wronged, wronged. Oops, I'm. Lin Xueling, according to what you say, your mother's salary and the house assigned by your mother's unit are all your grandmother's and your cousin's, why are you embarrassed to be strict with others and lenient with yourself? In that case, why don't you allow your mother to buy a watch for your eldest cousin? Aren't you unhappy? Your mom is your eldest cousin's only aunt.
You said that you didn't look down on your little uncle, every time you saw your little uncle's face, you couldn't see it, but did you say hello? What do you and my two little ghosts say? - Oh, your father, that is, I found your mother, otherwise I would not have to stay in the ravine. Do you think that if you are smart, my son is stupid? Your little uncle really didn't look for me to stay in Sijiu City. What about you, you still say that I have an opinion about you, what do I do to you, you don't know? You say you don't go to school, you have to go to work in the hospital. As for me, I persuaded your mother again, and how many relationships I found, and how much effort I wasted to pull you in. You're a little bit bigger, I'll take it. You damn girl, you're mad at me.
I think the reason you just told your mother to listen to it is made up. Is it that the Yang family is rich, so they fall in love with Yang Liqun? I'm really going to pull you to change your brain. The Yang family is rich, rich and fart. The richest in the capital has been liquidated, and the Yang family still has money? The old man of the Yang family is the son of a landowner from the countryside, how much money can he have? Dean Yang studied on his own. Do you think that the five-entry courtyard house is rich? Those forty-nine cities are all rich people.
You tell me the truth, if you think you have money, marry him? I have to peel your skin, you lack heart, won't you find someone with less drag and strong ability? You have your own salary, and then find someone with a high salary and less burden, what do you lack for the two of you? Ouch, you dead girl, still staring at me, if you didn't grow up with me, do you think I would say you, do you think I said Xiaoli Xiaozhen? ”
Lin Liying jumped to her feet in a hurry, and her fingers trembled so angrily that she pointed at her.
Chen Jingru hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, secretly sad in her heart, blaming herself for clinging to her daughter, for fear that she would be wronged without her father. didn't educate her well, so that her thinking was crooked, no wonder she always looked down on this and that. She also thought that her daughter was a child's temper, and she understood it very well.
Lin Liying took a big sip of water, kept staring at Lin Xueling, and didn't take a step back. She has to break this child's mentality today! Otherwise, with her sister-in-law's temperament, she didn't rely on her in the end. She really doesn't look down on the Yang family, the roots are not right, according to her mother's concept, that is, the concubine is in charge.
Every time Mrs. Yang looks for her son, she pretends to be a lady and tries hard to pretend to be a lady, but every time she comes out of her body is full of commotion - the vixen's commotion can't be on the stage. Phew, her mother-in-law has more temperament than Mrs. Yang! Return the Yang family's family background? A director of the Ministry of Health retired after a few years, and his family background is still rare.
