Yes, he had felt like a useless old thing in the eyes of his son-in-law in the past, always afraid that he would not be able to support his daughter in the future. Now thinking about it, the son-in-law just wanted to please him in every possible way, including giving him a bottle of Moutai worth three hundred thousand.
The son-in-law had good intentions, although his actions were a bit childish.
While sighing, Dad Gu suddenly thought about how he had refused the Moutai gifted to him, claiming it was only worth three thousand, realizing again that he had been mistaken.
This son-in-law, what a strange fellow.
Dad Gu went to the room and called Mom Gu to talk.
Mom Gu was all set for battle, feeling that the matter would definitely not remain concealed.
She was right. Although the son-in-law was indeed wealthy, he was exceedingly honest. Just look at the last ti, when he booked a first-class seat for her, his mother-in-law, to fly ho, thoroughly indulging her. Now, for her husband, he kept giving Moutai and playing the lottery, desperately trying to make her husband happy.
Perhaps because he was too wealthy, Dabai couldn’t think of any other way to please them and could only use his wealth to do so.
As a result, they rely ended up scaring both the husband and wife.
"You ntioned," Dad Gu said, "that last ti you went to see Nuannuan, you knew they were together. So, did you et his parents?"
"I t his grandma," Mom Gu replied honestly.
"What kind of people are they?" Dad Gu asked with an attitude as serious as if conducting a major investigation. After all, he could clearly feel that this son-in-law was no ordinary person, certainly not a child from an average family.
Mom Gu hesitated, "How should I put it? Their house is very big, like a villa."
Wealthy people! Second-generation rich! Dad Gu imdiately realized: no wonder he spends money so lavishly, almost like a wastrel.
"I told him to be more economical, but he seems to hear it as if it’s just wind by his ear," Dad Gu expressed his opinion and concern.
It’s not that they think being wealthy is bad and deserves discrimination. Because wealthy people are still people, equal, and should not be slanderously attacked due to this. Dad Gu was a good person, and Mom Gu had always admired her husband for this trait.
The problem is, children of wealthy families need to take on the social responsibility and duties, ticulously managing the wealth in their hands. Because this wealth, once you have it and others don’t, rely because you were born into it, yet you squander it recklessly and fail to use societal wealth to give back to society, there lies your ethical problem. That’s what Dad Gu believed.
So Mom Gu told Dad Gu, "I think he’s a really good person, you can see that yourself. Moreover, last ti I discussed this issue with him, he said he could earn any amount of money, he just feared Nuannuan might not accept him."
Dad Gu’s lips puckered into a circle: The son-in-law’s words were to his liking.
"Let’s wait and see," Mom Gu finally sighed, saying with so reservation.
Squinting, Dad Gu observed the expression on his wife’s face, recalling her longti intentional concealnt, and that the other party’s parents had never appeared to discuss the engagent as elders should, all these thoughts culminating in a clear understanding within Dad Gu’s heart.
Obviously, their daughter was looked down upon by the other family because they were poor.
Matching soone of equal social status is especially true for the rich.
Poor people dreaming of marrying into wealth have always been referred to as "sparrows transforming into phoenixes," an unrealistic idea.
If possible, Dad Gu did not want his daughter to suffer from such gossip. However, this path was clearly his daughter’s own choice.
His daughter had always thought differently from others, especially since she had beco deaf.
