So easy to coax, but haven’t seen you coax one back.
Ye Qiu’s words provoked a group attack. In their computer science departnt, there were already too many monks and not enough porridge. Besides, there was soone as abnormal as him in the dorm. It’s fine that he had good grades, but he was also more handso than them, didn’t all the girls get attracted to him?
Truly, everyone was vying for the ones who were already taken, while the idle fields next to them had no one to cultivate. They also wanted to coax a girl back, but nowadays girls all care about looks.
Even though his roommates looked like they wanted to devour him, Ye Qiu managed to settle them with a simple barbecue.
However, at the mont when his roommates made him drink beer, he thought, his reserved Xianxian probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to be coaxed away by another man in this lifeti.
Year after year passed by. He Xixian successfully beca Ye Qiu’s legitimate junior, and successfully stood by his side.
"You have to think it through, being my girlfriend, you must be fierce."
But He Xixian still didn’t understand what Ye Qiu ant by this until she t Ye Qing, the future eldest sister-in-law.
Ye Qing was twenty-seven this year. After graduation, she had a boyfriend once, but since that boyfriend couldn’t stand her temper and spending habits, Ye Qing proposed a breakup herself because she felt that soone so stingy and lacking in tolerance wasn’t qualified to be her husband.
Initially, Han Hui wasn’t anxious about her daughter’s marriage, she just wanted Ye Qing to stay at ho for a few more years, living comfortable years in her parents’ ho. But gradually seeing that she didn’t have any intention to have a boyfriend or start a family, she finally began to worry.
Because won’s youth has an expiration date and the older a woman is, the more difficult and strenuous it is to have children. But besides her, Ye Peilin and Ye Qing, this father and daughter, weren’t anxious at all.
They even had an argunt because Han Hui introduced blind dates to Ye Qing.
"Mom, you’re worrying for nothing, I’m only twenty-seven, why marry? Even among my classmates and friends, few are married." Ye Qing said indifferently, "You wouldn’t be trying to rush to get married so that my little brother has a place to wed, would you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I’m worried about you, don’t you know? You say your classmates and friends aren’t married, but how many of them don’t have boyfriends? It’s okay if you don’t want to marry yet, just try dating soone!" Han Hui said earnestly.
"But what kind of people are the ones your colleagues introduced? They’re either short or dressed badly, I don’t want to marry soone like that."
Ye Peilin got angry too and questioned, "Are your colleagues introducing such people to Qingqing?"
"How are they short? Aren’t they 175 cm? Besides, they have jobs in the system with their families and own several properties in the city. Their family even promised a good job for you if you married in. Aren’t these conditions good?"
"He’s only 175 cm with shoes on, I’m just as tall as him when I wear heels, I don’t want that."
"And that second person, he didn’t an to dress that way. His family had a property demolition, and he collects rent from two buildings and runs an online store. Recently there was so online festival, so he’s been busy in the warehouse and didn’t have ti to change clothes. Didn’t he explain this to you?"
"But he didn’t even go to college, I don’t have much in common with him," Ye Qing said disdainfully.
"Common interests can be cultivated. Who talks about school knowledge after marriage? Have you ever seen your dad and I discussing such things at ho?"
"That’s because you fell in love freely, and your educational levels are similar, as are your living habits. You’re asking to marry into such a family, and if they’re busy with their online store, won’t I have to help after work? I don’t want to be all gray and dusty every day." Although Ye Qing was sowhat tempted by these conditions, the thought of having to work kept her averse.
Han Hui, feeling stifled, straightforwardly asked, "Then what kind of man do you want?"
"How should I know? It will happen when it happens; I don’t want to easily marry just anyone!" Ye Qing said out of pique, "Before you talk about , why don’t you deal with my little brother first; I heard he’s already got a girlfriend."
"Who did you hear that from? But he’s graduated, having a girlfriend is normal."
"I saw it on the campus website, there was a picture of him holding hands with that girl. I even recognized the bag that girl was carrying, which costs tens of thousands," Ye Qing said, feeling jealous. Why did her brother manage to find a girlfriend who’s so wealthy? With such a rich woman marrying into the family, how would she suppress her later?
"That expensive?" Han Hui was shocked.
"Exactly, with such a wealthy girlfriend, she’ll probably ask for a hefty dowry. Can you afford it?"
"Wouldn’t soone from out of town ask for less dowry?"
"Who said she’s from out of town? I saw her before at my little brother’s training school, she’s local." With this, Han Hui began to worry. In their area, the dowry for a wedding typically is more than that elsewhere. Although the bride’s family returns almost as much, it all goes to the bride and groom. There’s no logic for parents-in-law to take it back. The better the conditions of the girl’s family, the more they give. But if their family gave less, wouldn’t it be disgracing the bride’s family?
"It’s not just the dowry, it’s also about the house. Would a well-off family’s eldest lady live with her parents-in-law?" Ye Qing continued to strike a blow.
"What are we going to do?" Han Hui asked, worried.
At this point, Ye Qing acted obediently and said, "I know mom and dad have saved a dowry for since I was little. How about this, now just use the dowry you saved for for my little brother’s wedding?"
"No way!" Ye Peilin frowned and said, "The money saved for you is yours no matter what."
Ye Qing had already anticipated this result, feeling even more secure, but she said, "But what about my little brother’s wedding?"
"We can only handle as much as we can afford. Our family is in this condition, if they are willing to marry, then they marry; if not, then forget it. Or he can go and earn that money himself."
"But my little brother just started working, and the cost of living in Jing City is high. He might have to depend on his girlfriend to support him!"
"If he can’t manage, let him co back. I’ve said it before, ask him to co back and apologize properly. Even if I had to beg soone, I would arrange a good job for him, but he stubbornly refuses to co back." Ye Peilin said angrily.
"But there are better developnt opportunities in Jing City."
"No matter how good the opportunities, he couldn’t afford a house even after working all his life. Call him imdiately, either he cos back now or forget using a single penny from the family for his marriage."
Han Hui sighed, "Alright, but keep your temper in check, talk nicely to the child."
"He’s being ungrateful, who am I doing all this for? He’s got a girlfriend now but doesn’t tell the family, is he planning to present us with a fait accompli?
