Xue Ling and Cheng Huanran were startled and instinctively looked in the direction of the door.
Cheng Tianyuan was seen staring at his son coldly with a dark face, his eyes filled with fierce anger as if a storm was coming.
ah?!
Cheng Huanran shrank his head and swallowed timidly.
"Dad...don't get me wrong, I just asked mom to help me think of a way. I don't really want to go."
Cheng Tianyuan said coldly: "You better think so, or I will break your legs! I have raised you so big and worked so hard to cultivate you, not to raise a son-in-law for others! If it is necessary to marry into a child, then there is no need to talk about it!
There are billions of people in the world, and they are certainly not the only ones who have daughters! It’s nothing special!”
"Don't be so quick to get angry." Xue Ling hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his arm: "Isn't this discussed? Five years of relationship is not easy -"
"Then it's easy for me? Is it easy for us?!" Cheng Tianyuan glared at his son, angrily: "He is almost twenty-eight years old! We gave birth to him and raised him for twenty-eight years, is it possible that he can't compare to one who has been in love for five years?!
Amazing?!"
Cheng Huanran was frightened!
In his memory, his father was always the amiable one, but his mother was the stern and sullen tiger mother.
This is the first time in his life that he has seen his father so angry, and he is angry at himself.
Cheng Tianyuan said solemnly: "Shortly after you were born, national policies tightened, and many families gave birth to one child alone. At your marriageable age, there are many only children. Is it possible that every family with an only daughter has to have a son-in-law?
What's the point of this? What if you are also an only child? What should you do?"
Xue Ling frowned and whispered: "The other girl thinks there are too many boys in our family..."
"Is that much?" Cheng Tianyuan snorted coldly and glared at his son: "We gave birth to three children and had four children. Do you know how much social support fees we were fined by the neighborhood committee?! If Yang Yang's surname was not Xue, I am from a rural area.
Where can I have a third child with my registered permanent residence? We gave birth to three children and raised four children. It was the hard work of the whole family. The elders helped to take care of them day and night, plus the nanny Sister Achun worked more than ten hours a day, and I didn’t
You couldn't develop your career, your mother worked hard to stay up late to squeeze in time, everyone gritted their teeth and worked hard to bring you up! After raising you for twenty-eight years, you turned around and married into another family - why do you think we are
Raising you?! Raising you to be someone’s son-in-law?! Ah?!”
Cheng Huanran's eyes were red and he shook his head desperately.
Seeing her husband so angry for the first time, Xue Ling felt mixed emotions in her heart.
"Of course, we can discuss other things, but this is impossible. It is impossible for me to agree, and your father's opinion - you should be clear about it."
Cheng Huanran looked at her pleadingly and murmured: "Mom, Xiao Qiao...she is the only daughter in the family."
"I am also an only daughter." Xue Ling said solemnly: "Grandpa's environment was not good, and grandma waited hard for him for many years before they finally got together and became deeply in love. But grandma is old, and the environment was difficult when she gave birth to me.
, she didn’t take care of her well during confinement, and then she couldn’t get pregnant again.”
"When I married your dad, he was already able to drive a car, and your dad's family didn't even have a decent house. Despite this, grandpa and grandma never asked your dad to marry into our family.
When your dad and grandma came to the imperial capital to propose marriage, grandpa insisted on marrying me off."
"It may be hard for you to imagine what your father's family environment was like at that time. It had an adobe house and a dirt floor, and there wasn't even a bicycle at home. And if you think about your current conditions, don't mention that you graduated from the Imperial People's Hospital with a graduate degree.
Formal position, all the assets I left you alone are worth several billion, and many of them are still increasing in value. Son, with your conditions, why do you need to marry other families? "
"Not to mention these, once you go to work elsewhere, you will be far away from home. When the family needs you someday, you will be thousands of miles away. How useful can you be? You are the eldest son of the family, a member of the Cheng family.
Grandson! Do you know how important you are to this family?"
Cheng Huanran nodded slightly panicked.
Xue Ling took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest.
"Stop talking, let's go and have dinner later. In short, there is no need to discuss this matter. We can't mention it again in the future. If you really can't let go of this girl named 'Xiao Qiao', then you should discuss it with her. We can discuss other conditions.
Let’s talk and discuss, but this is our bottom line and we should never touch it.”
Cheng Huanran nodded lightly.
Cheng Tianyuan was still at the peak of his rage, and said harshly: "Don't you have a mouth?! Do you hear me? You must say yes to me personally!"
"... Got it." Cheng Huanran lowered his head and whispered: "I won't agree."
Cheng Tianyuan took a deep breath, and his heart was in a mess.
Xue Ling waved his hand impatiently: "Don't hang around here, go have dinner."
Although the dinner was very sumptuous, and the large kitchen specially added some of Cheng Huanran's favorite dishes, he didn't eat much and remained absent-minded and frowning.
Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan didn't look too good either. They hurriedly ate a bowl of white porridge and then left the table and went back to their room.
The three old men all looked puzzled and asked, "What's going on? Aren't both of you hungry?"
"Just a little bit?"
"Maybe it's because I'm not hungry."
Only Cheng Huanran knew clearly in his heart - his parents were angry with him, and they were very, very angry.
Not for anything else, just because when he was tormented by a broken love, he temporarily lost his reason and judgment, and almost wavered.
They were angry that he did not consider the long term, nor did he consider the entire extended family, nor did he respect every elder in the family who loved him.
Suddenly, his cell phone buzzed!
He put down the bowl and took out the old second-hand mobile phone.
When he saw the unsolicited message from his girlfriend, he was not overjoyed because he didn't have any good news for her.
She still didn't back down, and persuaded him to think about their little family and think more about her. She also hoped that he would fight to the end for their love and must fight for his parents. After all, this was for his own good, and it was also
For the future of both of them.
He couldn't eat any more and put down his chopsticks.
"I'm full...you guys eat slowly. I have something to do, so I'll make a call first."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."
"There will be soup tonight, remember to come and drink it then."
Cheng Huanran nodded and walked out of the large dining room quickly.
He touched the first number in the phone book, hesitated for a while but didn't call it, and finally just sent a reply message.
——Xiao Qiao, I will work hard for our love, but the prerequisite is that I can’t leave the imperial capital, nor can I marry your family. In my world, there is not only love, but also my parents, elders, relatives, and siblings. Our love is not
I should be the only one who gives in, especially when I can't back down.
Then he threw the phone back into his pocket and fell down on the big bed in a daze.
