At seven o'clock in the evening, it was already very dark.
The Lin family was eating, eating like chewing wax, no one was in the mood.
Song Jiaojiao didn't go back to her home these days. Her son was on summer vacation. In order to hide it from him, she sent him to her parents' house, so she simply stayed with her parents-in-law.
After eating a bowl of rice, Song Jiaojiao stopped eating. She put down her rice bowl and went to the living room to watch TV. She didn't know what was on the TV and was distracted.
After taking a few bites, Mother Lin lost her appetite and put down her bowl and chopsticks.
The daughter will eventually get married, she is just throwing away the water, and the son is the future of the family. Now that her son is in trouble, how can she afford to eat?
Seeing her mother like this, Lin Shuting felt uncomfortable and said, "Mom, please eat some more."
"I can't eat it." Mother Lin sighed.
Lin Shuting said, "Chen Jielong said he would help find a solution. Don't worry too much and have a full meal first."
"Tingting, did Xiao Chen really say that?" Mother Lin knew that her daughter disliked Chen Jielong, so the mother and daughter had a quarrel over this matter.
Chen Jielong is so good, the son of a leading cadre, his family situation is so good, he is also a talented person, and he is also a cadre in the district office. Such a son-in-law is simply impeccable, but my daughter doesn't like it!
"Really." Lin Shuting said.
Knowing a daughter is better than a mother, Mother Lin was still worried. She said, "Tingting, if anything happens to your brother, my mother will not be alive."
"Mom! What are you talking about?" Lin Shuting felt even more uncomfortable.
Father Lin said with a cold face, "You are so confused!"
Mother Lin wiped away tears and returned to the room.
Her heart was filled with panic, Lin Shuting had no appetite to eat, and tears slowly overflowed.
"Tingting, don't worry about your mother, she's old and confused." Father Lin comforted her.
Although my mother didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what she meant. Why should Chen Jielong help you? If you become an in-law, then this problem won't exist.
Originally, her mother wanted her to marry Chen Jielong, but now something was asked of Chen Jielong, and her mother's wishes became even stronger.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to memorize. Even high-ranking college teachers cannot escape the pressure from their families to interfere with their marriages. They are also bound to struggle with their families.
"Dad, you eat slowly. I'll clean it up after you're done." Lin Shuting said.
Father Lin said, "You go watch TV, I'll take care of it."
"I'm going back to my room." Lin Shuting went back to her room, closed the door, and couldn't help covering her face and crying.
Someone knocked on the door, Song Jiaojiao opened the door, and it was Chen Jielong who caught her eye.
"It's Jie Long!" Song Jiaojiao was startled and quickly put on a smile, "Come in quickly, please come in."
Chen Jielong was holding gifts in both hands, "Hello, sister-in-law, I'm coming to see my uncle and aunt."
"Dad, Mom, Jie Long is here." Song Jiaojiao was overjoyed and shouted quickly.
When Lin's father and Lin's mother heard the news, they were also happy and quickly asked Chen Jielong to sit down.
Chen Jielong smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I asked along the way and came here unexpectedly to disturb you. Shuting told me that I'm not worried about such a big thing, so I must come over and see you."
"I'm determined. I'm determined." Father Lin nodded slightly.
Mother Lin quickly poured tea for Chen Jielong.
Song Jiaojiao ran over and knocked on the door, "Tingting, Jielong is here, come out quickly."
In the eyes of the Lin family, Chen Jielong is the only life-saving straw. It seems that if Chen Jielong nods, Lin Weifeng will be released.
Lin Shuting wiped away her tears.
Chen Jielong sat on the sofa, looking like a leader, and said with a smile, "Tingting, I have learned more about the situation. I came to see my uncle and aunt, just in time to talk to you."
"Tingting, go wash some fruit for Jielong to eat." Mother Lin suddenly became excited and ordered quickly, sitting next to Chen Jielong and saying urgently, "Jielong, Wei Feng was confused for a moment, but this is not murder and arson.
Please help me and talk to the Public Security Bureau. We will be fined, but we must not be imprisoned!"
Chen Jielong said, "Auntie, don't worry."
He glanced at Lin Shuting in the kitchen, sighed softly, and said in a deep voice, "Auntie, I have asked the Yuxia Branch. Brother Weifeng's matter is very troublesome. The amount involved in his case is 400,000, which is a huge amount. I am the only one
My good brother is at the Yuxia branch, and he said that the police will kill him as a warning to others."
"Ah?" Song Jiaojiao and Mother Lin cried out almost at the same time, and tears burst out of their eyes.
"What a crime! What a crime! It was all caused by you and you still have the nerve to cry!" Mother Lin directed her anger at Song Jiaojiao.
Song Jiaojiao was so frightened that she could only cry.
Father Lin was relatively calm. He sat down and asked, "Xiao Chen, how serious will it be?"
"You may be jailed and fined 100,000 yuan," Chen Jielong said.
As soon as these words came out, Mother Lin's eyes went dark and she fell down.
Father Lin hurriedly helped him. Chen Jielong was startled and also hurriedly helped him.
Lin Shuting saw this, threw down the fruit and ran out, "Mom! Mom!"
"Help us back to the room first," Lin's father said decisively.
Everyone scrambled to help Mrs. Lin back to the room and let her lie down. After relaxing for a while, Mrs. Lin's eyes slowly opened. She took Chen Jielong's hand and begged, "Jielong, please help Weifeng."
, our whole family can only count on you, auntie, please."
Lin Shuting wiped her tears and said, "Mom, brother will be fine."
Song Jiaojiao also begged Chen Jielong.
Realizing that it was almost done, Chen Jielong looked embarrassed and said, "Auntie, uncle, my dad can find someone to intercede, but the problem is...it's not appropriate to do this..."
"Jielong, what's wrong? We'll pay for it, but one hundred thousand is too much. I can't afford that much money..." Song Jiaojiao said tearfully.
Chen Jielong said in embarrassment, "My dad can go to the leader of Yuxia Branch to intercede. The problem is that he has no status. When people ask Chen Weifeng who you are, what should my dad say? If he doesn't know him, he should
I suspect that my dad has accepted money from others. So this matter is very difficult to handle. Even if I want to help, I can’t help, auntie..."
I understand, I'm not a fool, I understand.
The Lin family members were silent. Mother Lin looked at her daughter with a heartbreaking look of pleading in her eyes.
Chen Jielong felt that the heat was almost over, looked at Lin Shuting and said sincerely, "Shuting, in fact, you understand my heart. Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, you also know that no matter how you look at it, Shuting and I are suitable.
.My father and mother are also very satisfied with Shuting. If I can marry Shuting, Lin Weifeng will be my brother, and my father will have a good reason to step forward, don't you think?"
He is very smart. After what he said, it is not appropriate to stay here any longer. He said, "Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, Shu Ting, I really have this only way. I know that forceful melons are not sweet, but the relationship between Shu Ting and me
We had a good conversation, and it’s not a strong argument. Shuting, take good care of Auntie, I’m going back first, we can contact you at any time.”
After saying that, leave.
The difficult decision was left to the Lin family...
