Chapter 606: Use my sister’s betrothal gift?
At the Jing family, Jing Yang listened in silence as his mother Wei Ping introduced his blind date to him.
Both Jing Ping and Wei Ping felt a little uneasy about Chu Hang.
It was really Chu Hang's lavish spending that frightened the two old people. They always felt that he was a spendthrift. Even if he was doing well now, it would not last long. It would be better for him to go back home and know his background well.
Jing Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was just worried about scaring the two of them, otherwise she would have introduced Chu Hang to them earlier. Now she also blamed Chu Hang, asking him why he made his business so big. If he was a little more ordinary, she would be able to introduce him to others.
The person my mother asked someone to introduce to me is not bad in terms of qualifications and the bride price is very high. The key is that in the eyes of rural people, he is very suitable.
"Mom, so what if I'm the mayor? I don't think it's appropriate!"
"Whether it's suitable or not, what's the point of meeting?"
Without saying anything, most parents are like this. They won’t lose anything by meeting their children.
Jingyang doesn’t care whether he meets her or not, but he feels it’s a waste of time to meet her even though he knows it’s impossible.
Jing Ping chimed in, "You're a really nice person. If you weren't a college student, they might not be willing to see you!"
Jing Yang thought of what Chu Hang said and looked at his father: "Speaking of college students, my little sister has been admitted to college, why don't you let her go to school!"
"She's a girl!"
"I'm not a girl. Look, I'm also a girl. Just because I have attended college and am divorced, the mayor's family is willing to find you to be their in-laws. This shows that studying has increased the value of girls. College students are valuable. It's such a simple truth. Why not let her go to school!" Jing Yang got angry when she thought about it. She didn't even know about this. Her family deliberately kept it from her.
But Chu Hang was able to get everything out of Jing Ling's mouth in just a few words. It was estimated that Chu Hang knew everything about the whole family for eighteen generations.
That man, if he wants to ask something, it's quite scary, and no one should be able to resist his sugar-coated bullets.
When thinking about Chu Hang's way of spending money, Jing Yang felt that his premonition was most likely reality.
Wei Ping said: "We all know the truth, but it's really hard right now. The eldest and the second son are expenses, and it's not easy for you in the capital...
"Is it not easy to sacrifice my little sister's future?"
Jing Yang said angrily, "You are still hiding this from me. What do you mean? Do you want to make it a done deal? I'm telling you, Mom, I'm going to take my little sister back this time. I have the final say on her going to college, and you are not allowed to stop me!"
"Ha, you still want to be the boss? I'm not dead yet, and we've already agreed. If you break off the engagement now, how can I still be a human being? Don't you have any shame?" Jing Ping was also angry.
Jing Yang said: "You don't need to save face like this. The eldest and second sons want to get married. Can't they make money by themselves? You have hands and feet, so do you need to let your younger sister sacrifice? They can earn money by themselves, and I can give them some subsidies. It should be enough!
“I want to buy a house!”
"It's not a lot of money, so why should we let the little sister... quit school and get married? Besides, even if the little sister is willing to get married, the betrothal gifts are not for the eldest and second brothers. If they use their own sister's betrothal gifts, do they still want to be human beings in the future?"
Jing Yang said: "How can they feel at ease with the betrothal money spent on the girl? On the other hand, she insists on buying a house in the city just to get married. I don't think she is a good woman!"
"What do you know? Nowadays, everyone wants to live in the city after getting married!" Jing Ping was too lazy to talk to Jing Yang, you don't understand.
He thought to himself, isn't it like this in rural areas? When a child gets married, the family tries their best to meet the woman's requirements. Jingping's family has no choice. He is a farmer and doesn't make much money. Jingyang is the one who makes the most money in the family. However, his daughter's divorce is also related to the family.
Jingyang sends money home every year, but she also wants to buy a house in Beijing. She is worried about when she will be able to do so. This makes her feel stressful and her temper becomes bad. She becomes more and more angry at her ex-husband's lack of progress.
Jing Yang was too lazy to talk nonsense. "I'll take care of my little sister's affairs. You should cancel the engagement. Wouldn't it be good for you to work in a TV station like me in the future? You're not a bad person. It's okay for me to help you. Is there any other way to make money?"
Jingyang was troubled by his family’s thoughts. Just at this moment, someone came from outside.
Jingping hurried to greet them. There were two men, one older and one younger. They were dressed very elegantly, at least their clothes were considered high-end for Jingping's family.
"Mayor Li..."
Jing Ping looked at the time and said, "It's too early!"
Mayor Li smiled slightly and thought to himself, how could he wait any longer? As soon as Jingyang returned home, he wanted to come over and settle the matter as soon as he got the news.
As for divorce, he doesn't care at all!
If it was an ordinary college student, he wouldn't care, but Jing Yang works at CCTV, which is different. This professional relationship alone is unique in this village. With this professional relationship, he has many benefits...
Mayor Li smiled and said, "How can I wait that long? I will feel relieved if things are settled sooner. I am very satisfied with Jing Yang!"
This is a good thing. Jing Ping thought that if his father-in-law was satisfied with his wife, there would be no family conflicts in the future. But Jing Yang just brought someone back.
Jing Yang also heard it. He came out to take a look and roughly understood what it meant. After thinking about it, he decided to cut the Gordian knot. If Chu Hang knew about it, he would be furious and things would be difficult to handle afterwards.
"Mayor Li, right? I'm Jingyang. Let me be direct. I already have a boyfriend and will get married in the future, so don't take blind dates seriously. They were all arranged by my father. I have no idea. Sorry!"
Mayor Li was stunned: "This..."
He looked at Jing Ping, and Jing Ping was also embarrassed. What happened to Jing Yang was really not something he could handle.
Mayor Li said, "Jingyang, I really want to find you as my daughter-in-law. You should also know that Li Qiang is your junior high school classmate. He knows everything about you and has always liked you. It's just that you don't like him and got married a long time ago, but he is still single because of you?"
The young man smiled at Jingyang, and Jingyang was speechless. It had been many years since they graduated from junior high school. She was over 30 years old, but the other party was still single.
"But I have a boyfriend in Beijing, so this is really inappropriate." Jing Yang said.
Mayor Li still wanted to try: "Let's talk about it slowly after dinner, okay?"
"There's no need to eat, I still have to go see my boyfriend. He's here this time too, I'm so sorry!"
The scene was quite awkward. The mayor looked at Jing Yang and saw him leaving with the child. Jing Ping was stunned and slapped his thigh angrily, "Damn it, we have offended someone now. Our family will be in trouble from now on!"
Jingyang smiled and said, "It's okay. What else can he do to our family?"
Jing Yang did not dare to laugh at his father's lack of vision. The other party did not dare to act recklessly just because of her identity, not to mention that there was someone even more terrifying behind her.
When I thought of Chu Hang, I looked at Jing Ping’s regretful face.
Jing Yang said: "Let's go to the city for lunch at noon, Chu Hang will treat us!"
