The arrival of Chen's mother gave Zhong Xiaoqin something to do.
Ever since Chen's mother arrived in the capital, Zhong Xiaoqin has been running over to show her hospitality every day or two.
Perhaps because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would not like her as her daughter-in-law, Zhong Xiaoqin was a little cautious with Chen's mother, but she could be said to be responsive to her requests.
Chen's mother said today that she wanted to go shopping on the Bund, and Zhong Xiaoqin immediately took a taxi to accompany her.
Her mother-in-law said she wanted to eat authentic local dishes, and Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't wait to wait in line for two hours for a seat.
In the end, Wang Gang couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Zhong Xiaoqin back, and called Chen's mother.
"Xiaoqin is pregnant with your grandson now. She can't overwork herself. Isn't it too much for you to ask her to queue up at a restaurant?" Wang Gang accused Chen's mother.
"Are you trying to teach me a lesson?" Chen's mother said unconvinced, "Did I force Xiaoqin to queue up?"
Wang Gang said in a deep voice: "You didn't say it clearly, but you didn't stop it either, right?"
Chen's mother said angrily: "What's so great about being pregnant? I remember when I was pregnant with you and Chen Xu, I had to go to work during the day and cook and wash clothes at night. Isn't that why I raised you?"
Wang Gang's voice became colder and said: "Everyone's physique is different. Xiaoqin has already had a miscarriage. You need to pay special attention to this pregnancy. If you have anything to do in the future, ask Aunt Yang to do it."
"I think you have forgotten your mother after you have a wife." Mother Chen said angrily.
"If I were the kind of person you said, I wouldn't take you to come to the Magic City for your retirement. You can go and find out how many people of your generation can do what I do." Wang Gang said loudly:
"If you are not satisfied, you can go back to your hometown and I will support you every month."
Mother Chen angrily cursed on the phone, but Wang Gang remained stubborn.
"Anyway, I have a clear conscience, and I ask you to be kind to your daughter-in-law."
Just as Wang hung up the phone, Zhong Xiaoqin worriedly said: "Husband, it's not good for you to treat mom like this!"
"Children should support their parents, but that doesn't mean they have to meet all their unreasonable demands." Wang Gang first helped his wife to sit down on a chair.
"She knew you were pregnant and still asked you to wait in line for two hours. This is wrong, and we cannot condone it, otherwise she will only get worse."
After Wang Gang experienced Su Daqiang and Qiao Zuwang, he deeply understood the truth that old people should not be spoiled blindly, otherwise he would be the one who suffers the hardship.
Chen's mother was partial to Chen Xu before, Wang Gang didn't care, but she couldn't bear it when she tormented Zhong Xiaoqin.
"Maybe Mom is not used to the environment in Shanghai." Zhong Xiaoqin was still making excuses for her mother-in-law.
Wang Gang sighed and said: "She is from that era and is used to the way mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used to be. Don't blame her."
"How could I blame Mom?" Zhong Xiaoqin shook his head and said: "Mom is too lonely. You are usually busy with work, you have to work on "Old Chen and Xiaoqin", and you have to take care of the tea factory.
Chen Xu wants to live broadcast, and his work and rest schedules are different from my mother's, so I just want to spend more time with my mother when I have time."
Wang Gang now likes Zhong Xiaoqin's innocence and kindness more and more, but sometimes he feels sorry for her.
"You should also think more about yourself and your children." Wang Gang advised: "If anything happens to my mother in the future, you can blame it on me."
Zhong Xiaoqin leaned happily on Wang Gang's shoulder and said, "Well, I understand."
After the two cuddled for a while, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly said: "You just spoke in a bad manner to mom, let's buy her a gift to coax her!"
Wang Gang shook his head and said, "That's not necessary."
Zhong Xiaoqin insisted: "My mother said that the elderly are like children, and sometimes they have to be coaxed."
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Actually, there are not many good parents like your parents."
Zhong's father and Zhong's mother really had nothing to say to their daughter and son-in-law. They didn't have any embarrassment at all when they asked their daughter to marry an outsider, unlike many of the locals in Magic City that Wang Gang knew.
After getting married, the old couple never bothered their daughter and son-in-law. Instead, they paid silently. Every time Wang Gang and Zhong Xiaoqin needed help, they were willing to help without asking for anything in return.
To be honest, Wang Gang would rather support his father-in-law and mother-in-law until they die.
Feelings are inherently mutual. If you are good to me, I will be good to you.
On the contrary, if he relies on the relationship between mother and son to become a monster, Wang Gang will not get used to it.
After Chen's mother hung up on Wang Gang, she immediately called her younger son Chen Xu to complain.
At that time, Chen Xu was catching up on his sleep during the live broadcast. Hearing that his eldest brother scolded his mother, he immediately got up from the bed.
Chen's mother added insult to injury, edited Wang Gang's words and told them to her younger son. She wanted her younger son to make the decision for her.
But the more Chen Xu listened, the more uncomfortable he became. According to his mother, his eldest brother was simply a model of disobedience and unfilial piety. Is this still the eldest brother he knew?
Chen Xu realized there was something wrong, so he stabilized his mother first, and then called Zhong Xiaoqin.
Zhong Xiaoqin will naturally tell her brother-in-law the cause and effect of the matter.
"Your eldest brother didn't want to disobey our mother, he just felt sorry for me."
Chen Xu still trusts his sister-in-law. He knows that other people will lie, and his sister-in-law will never lie to him.
"Sister-in-law, I don't blame my elder brother for this. He did nothing wrong. Mom has indeed passed. How can you torment a pregnant person?"
After Chen Xu had been trained in the tea factory during this period, he had a basic ability to distinguish things. Moreover, Chen's mother was not unreasonable in this matter. She said it was her fault.
"I discussed with your elder brother and bought a small gift to apologize to mom." Zhong Xiaoqin said:
"I've thought about it, so I'll go to Manni's store to pick out a bracelet for my mother."
Chen Xu didn't want his family to live in peace, so he agreed, "Okay! Sister-in-law, you go pick out the gifts, and I'll pay for them."
"How can I ask you to pay?" Zhong Xiaoqin refused: "I am a member of Manni's store, and it doesn't cost much to buy a bracelet."
Chen Xu insisted: "Sister-in-law, this is a little bit of my love for mom, just let me pay for it!"
In the end, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't resist her brother-in-law and had no choice but to agree.
Manni's shop is downstairs in Junyue Mansion. Zhong Xiaoqin can go there whenever she wants. Wang Gang is worried that she is too tired and can only follow her to carry bags. Who wants his wife to have a big belly?
Zhong Xiaoqin didn't say hello to Wang Manni, and went directly downstairs and went around to the shopping mall behind. When the two entered the store, they found that Wang Manni was greeting customers and had no time to greet them.
Wang Gang saw that the guest Wang Manni was greeting was a young woman, tall, wearing designer clothes, and with a good temperament.
It's just that this customer seemed to be difficult to serve. She chose a lot of things and was still not satisfied. Wang Manni, who was busy, ran around, but the customer was still not satisfied, and in the end she only chose a cheap tie.
Wang Manni was called here and there, and she was sweating after working for a long time. In the end, she didn't get anything. She was naturally full of resentment, but she didn't dare to show it in front of the guests.
"Are you very unconvinced?" The female guest said arrogantly, holding her tie.
"How could it be possible? This is my job." Wang Manni accompanied her with a smile.
The female guest mocked: "I'm curious, how could Liang Zhengxian fall in love with a counter girl like you?"
Wang Manni was stunned, and even Zhong Xiaoqin looked over.
The female guest stretched out her hand, revealing the ring on her ring finger, and said, "This engagement ring was given to me by Liang Zhengxian seven years ago. My name is Zhao Jingyu.
Although we did not have a civil marriage, our relatives and friends in Hong Kong knew our identity as husband and wife. He also regarded me as his wife in his heart."
Wang Manni was completely confused!
When Wang Gang saw this scene, he finally remembered who the woman was!
Zhao Jingyu, Liang Zhengxian's fiancée, came to Wang Manni's store this time to humiliate her.
Wang Gang didn't expect to see such a good show, but Zhong Xiaoqin obviously didn't want her best friend to be wronged. Just when she wanted to go up to support her friend, she was stopped by Wang Gang.
"If you go there now, it will only make Wang Manni more embarrassed!" Wang Gang advised.
Zhong Xiaoqin was a little anxious, but Zhao Jingyu had already slapped Wang Manni in the face.
"This slap is telling you, don't touch other people's men!"
Wang Manni is not someone who doesn't fight back, and she doesn't even know that Liang Zhengxian has a fiancée.
She was passively used as a mistress!
It's a pity that Zhao Jingyu doesn't want to listen to Wang Manni's explanation at all.
"I've seen a lot of women like you, and I've helped Liang Zhengxian deal with a lot of things before. Please give me a price!"
Wang Manni said angrily: "I'm not that kind of woman."
Zhao Jingyu took out a card and laughed at Wang Manni: "This is the card Liang Zhengxian gave me. Did he also give you one?"
"I didn't ask for his card," Wang Manni said.
Zhao Jingyu said disdainfully: "Besides the card, he should have given you other things, right?"
Wang Manni stopped talking.
Zhao Jingyu sneered and said: "I have been waiting for Mrs. Liang for seven years and it is impossible to give up my identity to other women. If I were you, I would quit on my own initiative! To avoid embarrassment to myself."
After saying this, Zhao Jingyu turned around proudly and left triumphantly.
However, Wang Gang saw the smell of bluff in Zhao Jingyu's footsteps.
There is only one possibility for a man to successfully propose and not get married for seven years: he doesn’t love that woman at all!
