Chapter 1197 Mother-in-law Difficulties
Tang Ye lifted the box and ten exquisite books appeared in front of the table. The old man felt like he had a treasure and said silly: "All schools of thought? Zizhi Tongjian? Records of the Grand Historian, Sustain Tongjian, Mingtongjian, Yuantongjian? Wow, it's great, this is the book I always want to buy." The old man was so tall that he was about to jump up, and immediately hugged Tang Ye and kissed him a few times. Tang Ye felt embarrassed and called for help in his heart.
At this time, a woman walked out with her hair rolled in soup, looking around forty years old. She walked to the sofa with a stern face and sat down and said, "Old man, why are you excited?"
"Wife, have you seen it? This is the book my future son-in-law bought for me. Oh, it's great, it's great."
He was as happy as a child got a candy.
Tang Ye stood up and said, "Aunt Li, this is the skirt I bought for you. This is the Elizabeth style worn by the Queen of England, which is especially suitable for women with noble temperament like you."
Such a flattery made Li's mother, who looked heavy makeup, smile immediately and said, "Okay, okay, open it, I'll take a look."
After opening it, a snow-white dress appeared directly in front of you. The advertising spokesperson on the box was the Queen of England and Elizabeth.
"Aunt Li, go and try it. If the scale does not fit, you can change it."
"Okay, okay, I'll go change, go change." She took her white skirt and ran into the house. Li Xiangxiang followed behind and said, "Mom, I'll help you change."
Old Man Li observed Tang Ye's face for a while and said, "I see your face. It's probably because your parents are no longer alive."
Tang Ye was startled and smiled, "Can Uncle Li still see his father's survival through his face?"
"I understand a little bit." He said humbly.
"Then I will learn more from Uncle Li in the future." Tang Ye said with a smile.
"No problem." He observed Tang Ye's face again.
"How old are you this year?" "24."
"What job?" he asked with a smile.
This question is so difficult that Tang Ye. After a while, I still don’t know how to answer it. This made Old Man Li stunned. He was indifferent? Looking at Tang Ye, he obviously felt that Tang Ye’s work was not very legitimate.
Tang Ye thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I am a landlord now."
"Landlord, is in Shanghai?" he asked in surprise.
"good."
“How much does it cost to earn a month?”
"More than 10,000 yuan." Tang Ye answered truthfully.
The old man Li immediately said, "This is not good, it's a little less. A square house in Shanghai costs 30,000 to 40,000 or 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. You only buy one square in half a year. How many years will it take to marry Xiangxiang to have your own house?"
Tang Ye smiled and said, "Yes, yes."
"Also, do you still understand history? If you look at history, how could you understand so many famous literary books?" he asked seriously.
Tang Ye smiled and said, "When I was in middle school, I studied history books."
"Oh, your memory is really good." He turned it up page by page with shame.
Seeing the atmosphere a little awkward, Tang Ye asked with a smile: "Since Uncle Li studies history, let's talk about history?"
"Okay, you said." As soon as Tang Ye wanted to talk about history, he immediately became interested. Tang Ye asked: "Uncle Li likes mainland history, or Western history."
“I like it all.”
"Then let's talk about the Tang Dynasty."
"Well, it's very good. Young man, do you like the Tang Dynasty too?"
"I heard that the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, but I just have a lot of fun with it."
"The power of the Tang Dynasty was only in terms of military strength and territory. But the material life of the people at that time was average."
"Oh? I heard that a coachman in the Tang Dynasty was richer than the kings of the West. Is that true?" Tang Ye asked randomly.
"In the palace, if you drive carriages for the royal family, you will have millions of property, which is indeed richer than the kings of the West at that time. But ordinary coachmen are different, and they probably can barely make a living." Old Man Li said very seriously and explained very well, no wonder he was a university teacher.
Tang Ye also said: "Since the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, why did Du Fu write in his poem that the rich people smelled of wine and meat, and the road was frozen to death. Logically speaking, this poem was created in the 14th year of Tianbao. It can also be said that in the most prosperous year of Kaiyuan, why did anyone else freeze to death and starve to death?"
"That's because the prosperity does not refer to the people's fullness and warmth, but to the stability of imperial power. The stability of the country is the prosperity. Therefore, in history books, the affairs of the people never record. If it is recorded, it is just a troublemaker, a mob, a rioter, or a rebel." Old Man Li explained.
"Why not record?"
"Because in ancient times, the lowest-level people were not qualified to be recorded in history books at that time, and it can be said that they were slaves." He explained very seriously.
"Let's talk about Qin again. I always think that Qin Shihuang was right to burn books and bury scholars. Do you think it's right?" Tang Ye Wen.
Old Man Li said: "It is of course right to be stable against imperial power. But from the perspective of human nature, it is wrong."
"In this way, the stability of Qin Shihuang's imperial power is not a prosperous era. The stability of imperial power in other dynasties can be called a prosperous era?" Tang Ye Wen.
"This is hard to say. After all, this is written based on the issue of position recorded in historical books. People who stand on different positions will have different views. At least, Qin Shihuang is indeed a great man in our country." Old Man Li said with a smile.
Tang Ye asked again: "What do you think of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu? Many people say that Liu Bang is a villain and Xiang Yu is a hero. What do you think?"
"Those who do great things must learn from people like Liu Bang. I feel ashamed of myself, otherwise I would not be a college teacher. Because I am not suitable for social competition, I can only escape reality." Old Man Li seemed to be very self-aware.
Tang Ye-wen: "Why do you say that?"
"The world is cruel, so only those who are the most deceiving and the most shameless can survive. Those rich people say they are kind and moral, so they are rich. In fact, they are the most deceiving. Their deceits and their vicious hearts are extraordinary." He explained calmly.
Tang Ye benefited a lot from hearing what a university professor said. These things really coincided with Tang Ye’s experience, which made Tang Ye very useful.
"In other words, those rich people who seem kind-hearted and kind actually make money by deception and speculation?" Tang Yewen.
"It's true at all. No business is not businessman. In fact, it's not just about no businessman. It can be said that no businessman can succeed without any evil, and no businessman can do nothing without any achievements. Of course, these rich people will not express their own methods, so wisdom is also a means. They can't say in the media, the police, or the radio station: "I rely on my ruthlessness, my conscience, my relatives and my relatives, and my chances of taking advantage of my tricks to achieve success."
Tang Ye thought about it and said, "I have read some books by Liu Bang. I heard that when he was chased, he had to drink his father's broth and kick his children off the carriage. He was so selfish for his own life. What do you think?"
“He did it right.”
"Huh?" Tang Ye thought he had heard it wrong. Such words made Tang Ye feel a little ridiculous when he said it from a university professor.
"I said, he did the right thing. Why? Look. If Xiang Yu cooked Liu Bang's father, Liu Bang could still avenge him. But if Liu Bang surrendered, not only would his life not be saved, but his children, wife, and parents could not be saved. So, even if his family died, he could still make a comeback. If he died himself, who could come to take revenge?"
"It makes sense. But does this mean that we can do whatever we do in the future?" Tang Ye asked again.
"Young man, all successful people in the world are people who use any means. You can't see the word "shame" in them. This is the cruelty of the world. Even if you criticize him or scold him, it is useless, because he is still like this." Old Man Li was a little helpless, maybe because he was always escaping from the world.
Tang Ye said: "You said it so well, I benefited very much."
"Well, if you do big things, you have to consider the overall situation. You must seek greater benefits for the people so that you can achieve your own interests. Moreover, this is a moral means, so that you can be called great."
Tang Ye nodded and said, "It's OK."
"Oh, what are you two talking about? Look at how you two are talking like a speculative way." There was a voice behind her. However, Li's mother walked out in a long skirt and twisted around the hall.
Tang Ye quickly flattered and said, "Wow, it's so sexy, so beautiful."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, mom, it's so beautiful. Elizabeth is not as noble as you in it." Li Xiangxiang praised.
"This son-in-law is good, but I really understand my heart. I am very clever. I look tall and have a good face. Look, the heaven is full, with bright eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a big head. It looks like the boss's aura."
She said with a smile.
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Okay, I can agree with you both. But I have to give me 300,000 yuan. My dad and I have to support you. We worked hard to raise you from childhood to adulthood. After finishing our undergraduate degree, we both have to spend 500,000 yuan on you."
Her mother said with a smile. This condition shocked Li Xiangxiang. He felt that Tang Ye, the landlord, could not make so much money. This money was too much, and he was afraid that Tang Ye would not be able to take it.
"Mom, he is only in his twenties, so how can he have so much money? You should take a little less." Li Xiangxiang grabbed her mother's arm and shook her back and forth, begging her to reduce it.
"No, I originally discussed with your dad and asked you to marry a rich second generation. Let me tell you, I have already found a few of your partners. Every family has assets of tens of millions, and one company has a large company with nearly 100 million fixed assets in the family, and the ones in the family are all BMW and Mercedes-Benz."
"Dad, please tell me." Li Xiangxiang shouted to his dad.
Old man Li was afraid of his wife and said straight: "Listen to your mother, your mother is the one who takes charge of our family affairs."
"Mom, please, my daughter has knelt down for you." Li Xiangxiang and her mother knelt down directly. Before Tang Ye could kneel down, she said, "It's only 300,000 yuan, not much at all. Auntie, your daughter's dowry is too low."
Hum? "The whole family turned their eyes to Tang Ye. "Three hundred thousand, young man, don't brag, do you have three hundred thousand?"
"Aunt, how did you know that I don't have 300,000?" Tang Ye asked with a smile.
"Looking at your appearance, there are not 300,000, but 30,000 are more than 30,000." The woman turned around and forgot her favor. Tang Ye regretted it very much and bought her such a suit.
Then he said, "Auntie, you look down on others too much. Since that's the case, I won't marry your daughter, I'll leave." Tang Ye turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop, my daughter has been sleeping with you for so long, so just buy me clothes and two broken books. It's enough? She lives with you for so long, even if she goes for a prostitution, she will have to pay 100,000 yuan. She will bring the money. The youth loss expenses over the past three years are always something you have to pay."
She was justified and filled with anger. It seemed that she had already planned to make plans, how to ask for money.
Tang Ye was stunned and stood there.
Li Xiangxiang lowered her head and felt ashamed. She said, "Mom, I have known him for a month and have never lived together until now."
