Wang Gang took Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen home and immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua.
The two of them had never seen such a big official before, even a retired official was still an official.
Fortunately, Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen didn't have any pretensions. They called each other "Brother Zhou", and the relationship between the two families suddenly became much closer.
Ma Shouchang also likes the smart Zhou Cong and the generous Feng Yue very much.
Maybe it's because their children are in Shanghai all year round and they don't see their grandson more than once a year. The old couple likes their children very much.
While Wang Gang and Zheng Juan were busy in the kitchen, Ma Shouchang and his wife played with their children, and their laughter spread throughout the house.
In the evening, Wang Gang showed off his cooking skills, and Ma Shouchang couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear while eating. If Qu Xiuzhen hadn't stopped him, he would have eaten all the dishes on the table.
Before going back, Ma Shouchang made an agreement with Wang Gang to come back tomorrow.
Compared with the liveliness of the Zhou family, the Hao family is much deserted.
After Hao Gaoguan returned home, he had a straight face and the air temperature dropped several degrees.
His wife Jin Yueji was very surprised and asked Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Bingyi didn't dare to hide anything, so he directly told Jin Yueji everything that happened.
After Jin Yueji heard this, she also kept a straight face, but she didn't say anything harsh to Zhou Bingyi, she just reminded him.
"Lao Hao has been in poor health recently and is still in the stage of self-cultivation. He cannot be angry. If something happens to him, no one can bear this responsibility."
When Zhou Bingyi heard these words that sounded like advice but were actually warnings, sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Mom, don't worry, I will criticize my brother later." Zhou Bingyi was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe.
Jin Yueji nodded solemnly, adjusted her glasses, and ran to take care of her husband.
Hao Dongmei, who came back from school in the afternoon, noticed something was wrong as soon as she entered the room, and Zhou Bingyi told her what happened.
After hearing this, Hao Dongmei did not behave like her parents. Instead, she showed a reflective attitude.
"Bingyi, I have a problem with your family members."
Zhou Bingyi said in surprise: "No! Why do you think so?"
Hao Dongmei said sadly: "We have been married for so many years, and we have never met our parents-in-law. I know that your parents don't talk about it, and they feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Not to mention I can’t have a baby yet.”
Listening to Hao Dongmei's words, Zhou Bingyi's face also darkened.
"Don't think too much about the children. My parents really don't mind. After all, they still have Congcong and Yueyue. As for the meeting with the in-laws, we can actually understand that your parents are too busy with work." Zhou Bingyi cheered up and comforted his wife.
.
Hao Dongmei's eyes were wet and she said: "I'm sorry, Bingyi, I know you have suffered a lot for me over the years. My parents have been using busy work as an excuse not to meet your family. In fact, I feel bad."
Zhou Bingyi said distressedly: "No, you are the one who has been wronged the most. You are caught between my family and your parents, and you suffer."
Hao Dongmei said: "My daughter-in-law is too incompetent, otherwise we should divorce! Find a new woman to bear children for you."
Zhou Bingyi looked at his wife in shock and said, "You want to divorce me?"
Hao Dongmei cried: "I don't want to delay you. You can find a good woman while you are still young."
Zhou Bingyi flatly refused: "Dongmei, if it's for the sake of the children, I will never agree to divorce. Unless you tell me that you don't love me anymore and you meet someone better, I will never let you go."
Hao Dongmei cried: "How could I not love you? I just love you so much that I don't want to delay you. I'm not worth it."
Zhou Bingyi held Hao Dongmei's hand, the two looked at each other, and said, "Whether it's worth it or not, you have no say."
Hao Dongmei was very moved, hugged her husband's waist and said, "Bingyi, I love you."
Zhou Bingyi closed his eyes and said: "Dongmei, I love you too."
The two of them didn't notice that the door was not closed tightly, leaving a crack. Hao Dongmei's mother stood at the door and listened to everything they said.
Jin Yueji pushed up her glasses, silently turned around and left, returning to her room.
Senior official Hao was reading documents at this time. He glanced at his wife and lowered his head.
"Old Hao, do you have time now? Let me tell you something." Jin Yueji sat opposite her husband and added some hot water to his tea cup.
Senior official Hao put down the document and asked casually: "Tell me what you have to say!"
Jin Yueji said tentatively: "Bingyi's family will stay for a few days when they return to Jichun this time. Should we take some time to meet?"
Hao Gaoguan sighed and said, "Do you want to see me?"
Jin Yueji frowned, and then said: "Dongmei has mentioned it to me several times, but it's not the best way to avoid it all the time."
Senior official Hao asked, "You can meet if you want! Let Xiao Chen make arrangements."
Jin Yueji said: "I'm not talking about that kind of work interview, it's a formal meeting between our two in-laws."
Senior official Hao frowned and said, "Are you worried that Dongmei will have a difficult time at her husband's house?"
Jin Yueji sighed and said: "Dongmei and Bingyi have been married for so many years. No matter how dissatisfied we are, we can't make things difficult for our daughter. It's really hard for her to be caught between two families.
What’s more, I think the Zhou family has pretty good character, and they haven’t taken advantage of our status to act recklessly over the years.”
Senior official Hao couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Wang Gang during the day, and his face darkened.
Jin Yueji hurriedly said: "Dongmei cannot have children, and no one in the Zhou family makes it difficult for her. This shows that this family understands the truth."
Senior official Hao raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
The room was quiet for more than ten seconds before Hao Senior Official picked up the document again.
"You go ahead and make arrangements! I'm free tomorrow night and there's no dinner party."
Jin Yueji was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face and said, "Okay, I'll arrange to have a light meal at the guest house tomorrow night."
"Don't use public accounts, we will pay." Hao Gaoguan said without raising his head.
"Do not worry!"
Jin Yueji originally wanted to tell her daughter and son-in-law the good news, but she thought it was almost time for dinner, so she couldn't tell them at the dinner table, lest they would be so happy that they wouldn't even eat.
Sure enough, when Hao Dongmei heard that her parents agreed to meet her husband's parents, she was not interested in having dinner.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Bingyi, we will go to your brother's house right away and tell your parents the good news." Hao Dongmei took her husband's arm and wanted to leave.
Hao Gaoguan coughed, and Zhou Bingyi immediately didn't dare to lift his butt.
"If anything happens, let's talk about it after dinner."
Hao Dongmei sat down awkwardly, and Jin Yueji said: "It's dark outside, you can talk about it tomorrow morning, it's too late."
Zhou Bingyi suggested: "Mom and Dad, I think it's better not to go out to eat, but go to my brother's house to eat! Mr. Ma is full of praise for his craftsmanship."
Jin Yueji asked: "Does your brother have a good relationship with Lao Ma's family?"
Zhou Bingyi said with a smile: "Mr. Ma likes the novel written by my brother very much, that is The Bright Sword."
Jin Yueji said in surprise: "Liang Jian was written by your brother? Why didn't you tell us?"
Ma Shouchang once showed Hao Gaoguan a bright sword, but Hao Gaoguan was too busy with work and had no time to read the novel. Jin Yueji read it first and liked it very much.
She still has the first edition of Liangjian in her study, and she will take it out and look through it when she has time.
"My brother's writing skills are not bad. His novels were published in Hong Kong and are popular in Southeast Asia."
Hao Gaoguan finally stopped using his chopsticks and asked Zhou Bingyi: "Does your brother still have such talent?"
When we met today, Hao Gaoguan only felt that his son-in-law's younger brother was a thorn in his side.
Zhou Bingyi said with a smile: "We, as a family, never expected that Bingkun, who had been naughty and mischievous since he was a child, suddenly became enlightened and became like a different person. Now the house he lives in and the houses in the capital were all bought with his royalties."
Jin Yueji asked in surprise: "He also bought a house in the capital?"
"Not only that, I heard from Bingyi that his brother also bought three houses in Xiangjiang and plans to continue buying more." Hao Dongmei said with a smile.
"My brother said that real estate will be a very good investment project in the future. It is better than depositing money in the bank and earning interest. It is right to make the first move. He also advised me to buy a house early." Zhou Bingyi said with a smile:
"Nowadays, houses are divided among work units. Anyone who spends money to buy a house will be said to be a waste of money."
Jin Yueji and Hao Dongmei smiled and nodded, but Hao Gaoguan had a serious face and seemed to disagree with Zhou Bingyi's words.
"Your brother is more discerning than you." Hao Gaoguan picked up the chopsticks and said to Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Bingyi was stunned and didn't understand why his father-in-law said that?
Jin Yueji knew her husband relatively well and knew that he was interested in her son-in-law's younger brother, so she said, "I think you should bring your younger brother, sister and family with you for dinner tomorrow. It's a rare meeting. I don't know what I'll have to wait for next time."
when."
Zhou Bingyi couldn't help but look at his father-in-law. When he saw him eating in silence, he knew that he no longer cared about what happened during the day, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Hao Dongmei was really happy. She felt that her parents finally accepted her husband and his family. She could not contain her joy and wanted to rush to Wang Gang's house right now.
