Life is more than just living

Chapter 506 The in-laws meet

Seeing Chen Xu come in, Han Hui said happily: "Zihan called just now and said that her parents are coming over. Your brother's marriage can be put on the agenda."

Chen Xu was very excited when he heard the news. Liu Jingsheng was 32 years old and Lin Zihan was 27 years old. It was time to hold a wedding.

However, things often backfire. After Lin Zihan's parents arrived, Liu Weiguo and his wife welcomed their future in-laws with great ceremony. Liu Weiguo and Lin Guoqing have known each other since childhood and grew up in the same yard. Both of them had been in the army for many years, and they had endless things to talk about when they met. Lin Zihan's mother, Sui Xin, was dissatisfied. At the reception banquet, she asked unceremoniously: "What kind of business does Jingsheng do now?" Before Liu Jingsheng could answer, Lin Zihan said to her mother angrily: "Mom, for more than a year , Brother Jingsheng has been helping me. I am not familiar with this place in Longcheng. It is thanks to the help of Uncle Liu and Brother Jingsheng that I can do it." Sui Xin said disapprovingly: "A man should have himself. How can you start your business behind a woman? I heard Liu Chuyi say that Jingsheng opened some shopping malls and clubs, but now they can’t run them?” Liu Jingsheng finally spoke: “Auntie, I did open one before. There was also a Sanda club in the outdoor sports equipment mall, but due to various reasons, these were stopped because the subway station was occupied. Currently, Zihan's business is just starting to pick up, so I need help for the time being. I have no plans to start my own business yet." Sui Xin looked down upon him, "Although I got some compensation for the land occupation, I can't just sit back and let it go!" Lin Guoqing frowned and coughed twice, trying to stop his wife from talking. Unexpectedly, Sui Xin didn't care at all and continued to talk nonsense, "Jingsheng, are you interested in going to Beijing to develop? This small place in Longcheng is not interesting! It is only a fourth- and fifth-tier town at best. Do you plan to stay here for the rest of your life?" A man should first establish a career and then start a family. Whose daughter would dare to marry you without even having a career? "

Lin Zihan blushed, "Mom, what are you talking about? When Dad's accident happened, all our relatives and friends stayed far away from us. Only Brother Jingsheng and his family treated me better than before, and they wholeheartedly helped me start my career. I came to Longcheng empty-handed. If it weren't for the help of the Liu family and Chen Xu, I would be a part-time worker at most. We can't do that kind of thing of burning bridges and scolding the cook after eating for more than a year. Xu's friends helped me. Uncle Liu put aside his own affairs and helped me regardless of compensation. Brother Jingsheng even bought me a house and a car. I told you all this, didn't you feel very relieved at the time. What's wrong now? Now that dad's matter is clear, do you want to turn your back on me? "

Sui Xin was told by her daughter that she couldn't stand down. She rebuked loudly: "You silly girl, who are you doing for? Marriage is not a child's play. Isn't this just to check for you?" Lin Zihan argued with reason, "Mom, I don't care. I'm twenty-six or seven years old. I can make my own decisions about my marriage, so you don't have to worry about it. I thought that when I came out with Brother Jingsheng that I couldn't stay in Beijing, you were serious about it. Are you going to entrust me to him? Are you going to be an ungrateful villain?"

Just when Sui Xin was about to speak to refute, Han Hui came out to smooth things over, "Everyone, use your chopsticks. The food will be cold in a while." Sui Xin pointed the finger at Han Hui again, "Sister-in-law, I seem to have heard someone say that you are a strong woman who drives a car. How come I am a small beauty salon and now I am a housewife taking care of my children at home every day?”

Lin Guoqing and Lin Zihan's expressions changed, but Han Hui smiled calmly: "I did open a beauty salon before and made some money. But then I figured it out, you can't make all the money. , instead of running around for money, it is better to return to the family and enjoy the happiness of family. With all due respect: it is difficult for people to empathize with me. To use an old saying: 'You are not a fish, you know the happiness of a fish'!"

Lin Guoqing was extremely embarrassed and was about to explode, but Liu Weiguo poured him a glass of wine and said, "We haven't sat and drank together for many years. We are going to get drunk today! Let's not get involved in women's topics."

Chen Xu watched silently from the side, very embarrassed, neither leaving nor staying. Seeing Zhao Yuhan holding her belly, she looked impatient and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, are you tired? I'll go back with you to rest!" Han Yidao quickly stood up: "I'll take you back." Chen Xu looked at Lin Zhiyuan took a look and didn't understand why he didn't follow along. Han Yidao sent Chen Xu and Zhao Yuhan home. In the car, Zhao Yuhan said unhappily: "Although I don't have much interaction with Lin Zihan, I think this girl is quite good. I didn't expect her mother to be such a person, so... She's so snobbish and annoying to watch." Chen Xu took her hand and persuaded her, "Yuhan, you can take care of your baby in peace and don't worry about anything else." When they got home, Zhao Yuhan and Chen Xu went to see Xiaohua. Hua was playing with the nanny. When he saw Chen Xu coming back, Xiaohua hurriedly crawled over. Chen Xu picked up the child, told the nanny how hard it was, and asked the nanny to go back. Han Yidao went into the house, changed his clothes, came out, and took the child over. Chen Xu also changed into home clothes and finished feeding the child. Han Yidao accompanied Xiaohua to play with toys, while Chen Xu accompanied Zhao Yuhan back.

Zhao Yuhan went to change clothes as soon as he entered the house, and then came out angrily and said, "I called your eldest brother to come back. Why does he like to see those snobbish people so much?" Chen Xu quickly stopped him and said, "Yuhan, eldest brother stays here." Of course you have your own reasons, just let it go! Have you noticed that your temper has improved since you became pregnant?" Zhao Yuhan was stunned for a moment and touched her nose in embarrassment, "I don't know what happened to you. It's funny." Chen Xu smiled, "It may be because of changes in hormone levels, but you should pay attention to adjusting your mentality. Being angry is not good for the baby." Zhao Yuhan quickly touched her belly and said, "Baby, I'm sorry, mom didn't control it well. Mom must pay attention to your temper next time.”

Chen Xu accompanied Zhao Yuhan and talked about parenting again, "A few days ago, Zhang Jiaqi also said that her Niuniu is 20 months old. In more than a year, it will be time to go to kindergarten, but she is worried that her child will go to kindergarten. She was abused by her aunt and bullied by children. The result was about the same age as Niuniu. Zhang Jiaqi and Cheng Baobao often talked about this topic. Cheng Baobao’s mother-in-law was afraid that the child would be wronged and did not want to send her to kindergarten, but it was not a problem for the child to stay at home all the time. When Gao Shan sent me off yesterday, he told me that Guo Jian planned to set up a small kindergarten in our community and would only recruit children from families living in our community. Chenggong also had this plan, and the two of them hit it off and started making preparations. "
