Lin Xiaodong is most afraid of meeting his parents.
But with Song Zishan's pleading look on his face, he relented and went to Song's house together! As soon as Lin Xiaodong entered the door, Song's mother looked at him up and down with the same eyes as examining a criminal.
"Are you the heartless guy who hasn't been heard from in five years?
Do you know how my daughter has lived in the past five years?
She has been looking forward to your coming back every day, and she has lost more than ten pounds. If I hadn't been watching her, she would have wanted to die!"
Song's mother did not lie. In the past five years, Song Zishan had been so lovesick that she was indeed depressed and unhappy, and almost committed suicide.
"Aunt, I'm sorry, I will try my best to make up for it in the future!"
Lin Xiaodong promised like a man, puffing out his chest.
"Make up for it?
What can you do to make up for it, young man?
Look at your outfit, it seems like you haven't been doing well in the five years since you disappeared.
A man like you can't believe anything he says.
You have disappeared for five years without even a letter, and I don’t know whether you are dead or alive. How can you make me believe that you can give my daughter happiness?"
"Tell me honestly, what have you done in the past five years?
Did he go to Africa to get diamonds, or did he go to East Asia to transport oil?
How much money did you make?
How much wealth have you saved?
How many acres of land did you buy [81中文网 www.x81zw.info]?
What kind of environment can you give my daughter?"
Mrs. Song's words made Lin Xiaodong dumbfounded. It felt a bit like discussing marriage.
He and Song Zishan haven't reached this point yet.
Lin Xiaodong was wearing street clothes today and only had one hundred yuan for his whole body. He didn't look like a rich man who had acquired diamonds and dug out oil.
"I didn't go to get diamonds or dig for oil. I went to study!"
Lin Xiaodong said without confidence.
"What happened to further study?
What is a diploma?
Doctoral or postdoc?"
No matter what kind of parents they are, they all have one purpose: they want their children to live well.
Mother Song certainly didn't want her daughter to live a miserable life with a pauper.
Lin Xiaodong was embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I don't have a diploma!"
"Then what exactly are you going to study for?"
Mother Song was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"Mom, that's it! What are you doing? Check your household registration.
The household registration check will not be as clear as the same check! Brother Lin has not contacted me in these years. He has his own difficulties. That is a man's business and has nothing to do with you.
Just stop asking!"
Song Zishan quickly pulled her mother aside.
Lin Xiaodong was sweating. Dealing with these elders made him feel more tired than fighting with Nascent Soul monks.
"Why can't I ask?
You waited for him for five years, and what did he give you?"
"Tell me, what can you give my daughter?"
Mother Song was unreasonable and continued to question Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong smiled silly and said: "I can give Zishan whatever she wants, even if I can't give it now, I will definitely give it in the future.
It’s true that I don’t have much wealth now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have any in the future!”
"Just brag. I've met many young people like you who only know how to brag.
I have a bad tone all day long, but accomplish nothing.
You have to be careful when walking on the road, if you hit a horse or a BMW, you might not be able to afford the compensation."
Come on, Mother Song has a pretty good understanding of human nature and knows what kind of people the poor people are.
Lin Xiaodong didn't even know how to answer.
After all, people are poor and short of breath. He is really poor now. He really needs to be careful when walking on the road... "Mom, can you stop for a while?"
Song Zishan couldn't do anything to Song's mother and begged.
"Daughter, am I thinking about you?
This kid left you for five years. I originally thought that he went to fight for you and that when he came back, he would be in glory.
As a result, he couldn't even afford two kilograms of fruit.
You’ve made it clear that you want to be a softie, do you really plan to raise a loser for the rest of your life?”
This is really embarrassing. Lin Xiaodong's hands were empty, and he even carried two kilograms of fruit.
Lin Xiaodong could still afford two kilograms of fruit, and he indeed planned to buy some fruit and bring it over.
It was Song Zishan who didn't let him buy it. He thought, now that he is poor, it would be better if he could save a little, so he didn't buy it.
The result was good, but now Mother Song laughed at her to the point of being ashamed.
"Boy, I'm warning you now. You're not allowed to come near my daughter again. Do you hear me?
It’s over between you.”
Mother Song put her hands on her waist and roared at Lin Xiaodong.
"Mom, I also warn you, I have grown up and you don't need to worry about my affairs anymore.
If you keep doing this, I will never go home again."
Song Zishan said to Mother Song in the same posture.
"Zishan, don't talk to your aunt like this, she is doing it for your own good.
This is all my fault.
I did let you down."
Lin Xiaodong quickly smoothed things over with a smile on his face, hoping to save some dignity.
It's a pity that it's useless, Song's mother doesn't like him at all.
"Boy, let me tell you.
There are so many rich boys pursuing my daughter.
Not long ago, Mr. Liu built a manor specifically for my daughter. As long as my daughter agrees to date him, I can live in the manor.
What do you compare yourself to?
If you still have some self-awareness, you should leave my daughter and give her happiness, you know?
Loving someone is not about getting her, but making her happy. I don’t think you have this awareness!"
Song's mother probably watched a lot of romance dramas and spewed out a lot of lies.
This kind of enlightenment is a stupid enlightenment, and it only appears in TV dramas.
Lin Xiaodong would not want this kind of realization.
"Auntie, can you give me some time?
Two years, two years later, how about I give you a manor?"
Lin Xiaodong said confidently.
"Here we go again, can't you be more mature?
I'm already this old, but you still treat me like a little girl and use such sweet words to trick me.
I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. I have met at least thousands of men like you who are talkative. Back then, I was deceived by Zishan’s father with this kind of promise, and he was deceived into dozens of dollars.
Year, not to mention the manor, even a house of 100 square meters was bought by me saving every little bit. Do you think I will still be deceived by a young man like you? "
Mother Song was really amazing, and she made Lin Xiaodong speechless with another words.
Lin Xiaodong wanted to tell Song Mu very much, and he would definitely do what he said.
But he knew better that convincing these experienced people was not an easy task.
It's better to shut up, lest you become even more embarrassed.
Song's mother even wanted to drive Lin Xiaodong away and didn't want him to stay at home.
Fortunately, Song Zishan threatened Song's mother to drive Lin Xiaodong away, and she would leave, so she was able to keep Lin Xiaodong.
After a late meal cooked by Mrs. Song, it was already evening.
Song Zishan had to keep Lin Xiaodong at home overnight.
This made Song's mother panic, worried that Lin Xiaodong would crawl into her daughter's bed in the middle of the night.
