After Qiao's father and mother finished talking, they explained it carefully.
"For example, the most intuitive problem of housing is absolutely no problem for our family. Nowadays, housing prices across the country are very high, and the housing prices here are also skyrocketing. However, fortunately, we made preparations a few years ago and have already bought them.
Two suites.”
"Yes, and they are all high-end residential buildings in high-end communities. We live in our own old townhouse, so these two apartments are for the young couple. They can live in one and rent out the other. When we get old, everything at home will belong to us.
All of them, including the old villa.”
"Not only that, I also looked for a car for Xiaohui. After she gets a job, it will be very convenient for her to go to and from get off work. However, if we go to work together, I will also buy one for him immediately. It can be regarded as a gift for the young couple from our elders. Wedding gift.”
"As for work, I will try my best to place them in my hospital. With their academic qualifications, academic performance and learning ability, I believe they will become the number one in the hospital within five years. I will definitely lead and take good care of them.
"
Xue Ling had been listening quietly, with a slight smile on her lips, and her eyes were calm and steady.
When they finally stopped, she glanced at her son and Qiao Hui from the corner of her eye. One was displeased, while the other was secretly proud and couldn't help but laugh softly.
"You two are indeed here with great sincerity. As Aran's mother, I am very grateful for your appreciation and attention to him. I wonder if Xiaohui has told you the bottom line of our family? I think I still
It would be better to reiterate it to avoid further misunderstanding between the two of you."
"Auntie..." Qiao Hui was a little anxious. She wanted to speak, but Cheng Huanran held her hand.
Xue Ling didn't look at her and said directly: "First of all, Aran is the eldest son of our Cheng family. As the eldest son of the family, he has greater responsibilities than other children. He must shoulder the future career and elders of the family.
Big flag."
"Second, our family firmly disagrees with him getting married or moving to another place to live after getting married. If we can't reach an agreement on this, I'm afraid we will only live up to the kindness of the two of us who came from afar."
"Third, our family understands that you only have an only daughter, Xiaohui, and agrees that one of your children will take her surname in the future. Of course, as a younger generation, it is necessary to be filial to your elders. Aran will definitely take care of you in the future and take good care of your old age.
"
She spoke neither slowly nor slowly, enunciating each word clearly, and her voice was soft but resounding. Both father and mother Qiao were confused. They looked at each other in disappointment and were secretly surprised.
The box fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward and stiff.
Qiao Hui's face was not very good. She looked at Cheng Huanran for help, frowned, and signaled that he had to speak quickly.
Qiao's father and mother coincidentally looked at him and silently asked him what his specific thoughts were.
Cheng Huanran's eyes flashed slightly and he coughed uneasily.
"Um... uncle and aunt, regarding these... I agree with my family's stance and ideas."
The three members of the Qiao family raised their eyebrows in surprise again, all in disbelief.
Xiao Qiao couldn't help but blurt out: "Aran, you - after you heard what my parents just said, how can you still -! You must know, if just the two of us want to gain a foothold in the imperial capital and buy a house, we will definitely
You have to be a house slave for ten or even fifteen years. Our quality of life, our room for advancement, and our children’s future growth and learning, etc., will all be restricted! Why don’t you think more about our future?
?!"
Father Qiao glanced at his daughter and then looked at Xue Ling.
"Mrs. Cheng, as far as I know, you have four children in your family, right? Of course, you have a younger brother studying at Imperial University, and a twin brother and sister at Imperial No. 1 Middle School, right?"
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded.
Mother Qiao frowned and whispered: "You have four children, but we only have one daughter, Xiaohui. You have four, but you still want to marry our only daughter as your daughter-in-law. Comparing our feelings, your family is really very rich."
Greedy. Of course, mom, having more children is not necessarily a good thing. If you can’t help your children, it’s better to let them fly freely so that they can fly farther and higher. We only have her as a daughter, and everything in the family belongs to her.
. But what about your family? Your family is still divided into four parts, and the eldest son has to bear most of the responsibilities for the elderly and the family. If my daughter is married, her living standard will definitely be far inferior to that of her family. We as
Parents, how could you let her come into your home and suffer..."
"No." Xue Ling smiled slightly: "If she marries into our family, we will love her as our biological daughter. Our family can also work hard to achieve the material conditions you can give her. As for the spiritual aspect, we
It may not be as good as your biological parents, but we don't want to compare. After you retire, we will take you to live in the imperial capital. By then, Xiaohui will have both the pain of her husband's family and the pain of her mother's family, so she can have the best of both worlds."
Father Qiao's face darkened slightly, and he whispered: "We are natives of the provincial capital, so we are not willing to move our roots. Ranran mother, how about we discuss this. Each of our two families takes a step back. We don't have to marry each other, but they
Do you think you’d like to go to our place after getting married?”
"Yes." Mother Qiao nodded in agreement: "Because we can provide our children with more abundant material conditions and career help. However, Mom, if you can step back, our family does not need any betrothal gifts, and we can still give your family a sum.
A lot of money——"
"Auntie!" Cheng Huanran interrupted her with a slight embarrassment, and whispered: "Our family doesn't need it."
Xue Ling shook his head and said: "Thank you. We can't ask for this money, and we won't ask for it. I'm sorry, our family can't retreat at this step. I also want to have room for negotiation, but there is really no room for retreat."
"Auntie..." Qiao Hui's eyes turned red and she choked: "Ranran and I really love each other... He is your son, I can't take him away. But if he goes there with us, we will live a better life.
.”
Xue Ling looked at her with gentle eyes and whispered: "Don't worry. If you stay, you can still live a good life."
Mother Qiao said with an unhappy face: "What can your family do to ensure that they live well? They will officially graduate next month, and what they have to face next is employment and marriage, the most important things in their lives. Not to mention that there is no way to get a job.
Let’s talk about marriage first. To get married, you must have a house to live in. Renting is unstable, and you have to buy a house sooner or later. Houses in the imperial capital are so expensive. Even a remote small building in the suburbs costs more than two million. What can your family provide?
No? Everything costs money, including a house, a car, and soon children, and there are so many elderly people in your family to support. These are undoubtedly huge expenses. These are very real issues. Have you considered them?
When my daughter marries into your family, she will become a house slave, a car slave, and a child slave. As a parent, how can I be willing to let her live such a hard life!"
