Chapter 172 Life is not only about love, but also bread
A coffee shop on the campus of Shuimu University!
Xia Lan looked at her daughter and Su Wang sitting opposite her, and didn't speak until she drank half a cup of coffee.
Xia Lan didn't speak, and Su Wang and Tang Jin naturally didn't speak either. Su Wang didn't know what to say to his future mother-in-law. Anyway, he estimated that no matter what he said, his future mother-in-law would not change her attitude towards him, so he wouldn't
What a waste of time.
Tang Jin didn't speak because she knew her mother very well and felt there was no need to speak.
Seeing the young couple pretending to be silent in front of her with a tacit understanding, Xia Lan felt depressed, especially since her daughter was still standing on Su Wang's side, confronting her in this silent way.
"Su Wang, to be honest, your college entrance examination results were a bit beyond my expectation. First of all, congratulations on being admitted to Shuimu University."
Xia Lan decided to change her approach. She knew that the more dissatisfied she was with Su Wang, the unhappy her daughter would be and the easier it would be to inspire a rebellious mentality.
"Thank you, auntie."
Su Wang expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face, but his heart ached a little. Is this a compliment? If he said that his results were unexpected, didn't that mean that he was not optimistic about the college entrance examination at all? He was just lucky enough to take the college entrance examination.
To get to this score.
Although my college entrance examination scores are indeed somewhat watery, and some questions are due to impressions in my memory, overall this is also a reflection of my true level.
"Shuimu University is one of the top universities in the country. Being able to enter this school means that you have surpassed 95% of your peers, so you should cherish the opportunity to study here..."
"Mom, didn't we agree that we would no longer be restrained after we get to university?"
Tang Jin interrupted her mother because she knew what her mother was going to say next. Just like in middle school, students should study hard and not be distracted by falling in love.
Being interrupted by her daughter, Xia Lan showed no angry expression on her face and even showed a smile. This made Su Wang feel a sudden change in his heart and made him even more vigilant. His future mother-in-law suddenly changed her style and became even more difficult to deal with because she touched her.
No more tricks.
"I didn't say I wanted to restrain you. You and Su Wang have been childhood sweethearts since middle school and college. I also understand that it is impossible to break up you."
Hearing what his mother said, Tang Jin showed a happy smile on his face. It would be best if his mother could agree to her being with Su Wang.
There was no smile on Su Wang's face, because he knew very well how a proud woman like his future mother-in-law could change her attitude so easily. His future mother-in-law was the kind of person who had strong control over things. Unless she
Think about it, otherwise it will be difficult for others to influence her ideas and attitudes.
But if he had figured it out, would he still go to Tang Jin's dormitory for a surprise inspection without saying a word?
Therefore, these words spoken by my future mother-in-law must have been foreshadowing, probably to pave the way for the "but" that follows.
"Falling in love is a very happy thing. You can be with the person you like. I have been there before, so I know this feeling. There is nothing wrong with falling in love when I was in college, but..."
Su Wang rolled his eyes in his heart, as expected.
"Falling is one thing, but getting married is another. There is a saying nowadays that graduation season is also breakup season. Graduation means breakup. Many college students have been in love for several years, but they break up after graduation.
There is a reason for this.”
Xia Lan looked at her daughter. Over the years, she rarely reasoned with others at length. In most cases, she simply expressed her thoughts and requests, and the other party had no choice but to accept them.
But Xia Lan also knew about her daughter's temper. She was stubborn and her daughter was even more stubborn, so she could only communicate in this way.
"Your current generation is okay. Our area is very lacking in materials and living conditions are also poor. There were many couples in my class at that time. Some of them even fell in love deeply and were able to endure hardships. But in the end, they broke up not long after graduation.
Okay, have you ever thought about the reason for this?"
Su Wang and Tang Jin didn't speak, and Xia Lan didn't care, and continued: "The reason is very simple. Falling in love is only a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families, and if a couple wants to go from being in love to being in love,
Marriage requires too many conditions."
"Isn't there a popular saying now? In life, if there is love, there must be bread. Now you have us as parents to provide you with living expenses. Your task is just to study, so you don't know the importance of bread. When you leave campus, then
It’s all up to you.”
"Not to mention other things when getting married, at least both parties must have stable jobs, a house, a car, and savings. You will worry about your livelihood and start to think about trivial matters such as food, rice, oil, and salt, and you will have work pressure and worries.
These will affect the relationship between two people."
"So, if you don't want these things to affect your relationship, you must ensure that you will have a high-quality material life in the future. This requires you to work hard and improve your abilities during college."
When talking about this, Xia Lan looked at Su Wang and said: "Xiao Jin has been richly raised by me and her father since she was a child. Taking the current living expenses as an example, we give her 3,000 yuan a month.
In the future, when girls go out into society, they will have to buy clothes and cosmetics, plus various expenses, it is conservatively estimated to cost 10,000 yuan a month."
"Xiao Jin has been loved by my relatives and elders from her father's family since she was a child. She basically doesn't know how to do housework, but generally mothers-in-law don't like daughters-in-law who don't do housework, so in order to avoid conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she finally
At least hire a nanny. According to the current price of a nanny, it costs several thousand a month."
"Students from Shuimu University are very popular, and the jobs they will find after graduation will not be bad. Calculate the average. If you just graduated with a bachelor's degree, the average annual salary in the first five years may be around 300,000, and such a salary is also
It is only available in first-tier cities. If you stay in first-tier cities in the future, you will definitely buy a house."
"According to the current price of slightly better houses in first-tier cities, even a down payment generally costs about one million. In other words, if the salary does not include food and drink, it will take at least three years to raise enough money for the down payment.
But this is obviously impossible."
Xia Lan became more energetic as she spoke, because she felt that what she said was very realistic and not exaggerated, so she did not notice her daughter's strange expression.
"When you have reduced your clothes and diet and finally bought a house, you have reached the age to have children. Raising a child these days is a huge expense. You two have to work, and the child will need to be taken care of. Wait until the child is a little older.
Yes, you have to sign up for various interest training classes for your children. Nowadays, ordinary training classes cost tens of thousands of yuan per semester."
Tang Jin noticed the smile on Su Wang's face, and she suddenly felt sorry for her mother. If Su Wang confessed to her before today, she would still be worried that her mother's words would hurt Su Wang's self-esteem, but now... she is afraid of hurting Su Wang's self-esteem.
To my mother's self-esteem.
The wealth that my mother has worked hard for most of her life is less than one-tenth of Su Wang's. Now she is telling this in front of Su Wang. If her mother knows about Su Wang's net worth...
It's true that Su Wang is just here to laugh at his mother's jokes.
If Su Wang knew what Tang Jin was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out for himself. He didn't mean to see Tang Jin's mother making fun of her, but he really didn't know how to express himself when Tang Jin's mother was seriously talking about bread with him.
He slapped the table and told Tang Jin's mother, "Mother-in-law, what you said is not a problem. I have money and can afford to support Tang Jin. Doesn't this make it difficult for the mother-in-law to step down?"
The reason why my future mother-in-law talked about bread with me was not because she really wanted to talk about bread, but because she was a little unhappy with him for chasing her daughter. Even if I confessed that I was rich now, I guess my future mother-in-law would find other reasons to try to break up the relationship.
Himself and Tang Jin.
"Mom, stop talking." Tang Jin couldn't help interrupting his mother.
"Xiao Jin, don't be shy. If you decide to marry Su Wang, these are the issues you need to consider carefully in the future."
Xia Lan thought that her daughter interrupted her because she was a little shy when it came to topics like getting married and having children, but she felt that she needed to make this clear, both for Su Wang and her daughter.
.
"Tang Jin, I think Auntie is right. These are indeed things we need to consider in the future."
After hearing Su Wang's words, Tang Jin gently kicked Su Wang with her right foot under the table. She felt that Su Wang was deliberately trying to make fun of her mother.
Although his mother has always opposed her being with Su Wang, she is still her mother anyway, and she still has to protect her mother's face.
Otherwise, when her mother finds out about Su Wang's net worth, she will be ashamed when she recalls today's scene.
"Well, Su Wang, I'm very happy that you can face this point. Auntie actually appreciates you very much, but please also understand a mother's consideration for the future of her children. One day, you will grow up to be a good enough person.
When the time comes, you can bring marriage security to Xiao Jin. Auntie will never make things difficult for you again, and she will even be the first to approve your marriage to Xiao Jin."
Hearing Xia Lan's words, Su Wang smiled happily. He was about to confess some of his properties, but he felt a slight pain in his feet again.
The one who stepped on his foot was naturally Tang Jin. Seeing Su Wang's bright smile, Tang Jin guessed what Su Wang wanted to do and used this action to stop Su Wang.
At the same time, he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, regarding the future, this is a matter between Su Wang and I. We will fight for our future."
