Chapter 71
When it was time to eat, Zhao Dacheng brought in the folding table leaning against the exterior wall of the house. There were not enough wooden chairs and stools in the house, so he went to the yard to borrow two hands from his neighbor's house, and everyone sat down around the small folding table.
Because Chen Bing came to the door for the first time, the dishes on the table were very rich and the small folding table was filled with them.
Yang Mei, who had never had the chance to interrupt before, is very eloquent now, but she is always inseparable from Chen Bing. Chen Li’s family affairs are topical. She can also hear that she had already found out about Chen Li’s family situation and asked if the old man Chen Jingtang is in good health.
Chen Bing relaxed a lot of this chat and even had a few drinks with Zhao Dacheng.
Her family agreed with Chen Bing’s marriage with Zhao Lingshan.
Even though the Chen family was no longer prominent at this time, my grandfather was a retired senior official who enjoyed the treatment of vice-provincial and ministerial level. His father was the attending surgeon at Qingquan People's Hospital and his mother was also a middle-level backbone of the hospital. Chen Bing's education was not bad. He also worked in a state-owned enterprise in Qingquan City, and his conditions could not be considered bad.
The problem is the question of where to work and live after Chen Bing and Zhao Lingshan got married.
Zhao Dacheng had a few glasses of wine and was already drunk. He patted Chen Bing on the shoulder and called his brother-in-law. At this time, Yang Mei also sent the child who had finished the meal into the inner room to do his winter vacation homework.
"Brother-in-law, you have been with Lingshan for a long time. When will the families on both sides meet? Let's quickly make the marriage..." Zhao Dacheng was talking to Chen Bing with a smile, but Yang Mei kicked under the table, and he paused halfway.
"Then what, Chen Bing, look, Lingshan has been transferred to Shangdu. When are you going to transfer it? There is also the house matter... Your family is in good condition, and grandpa is such a big cadre. Uncle and aunt have opened a company in Shangdu to do big business. Buying a house should not be a big deal, right?" Yang Mei asked Chen Bing tentatively.
By this time, Chen Li had already figured out what was going on.
Zhao Lingshan's parents were very satisfied with Chen Bing's son-in-law, and were also very happy that their daughter could find such a partner; Zhao Dacheng and Yang Mei could not give any dissatisfaction with the Chen family's family situation, but the biggest problem was here.
The Chen family's family's family is enviable, but if Zhao Lingshan marrys Qingquan, Zhao Dacheng and Yangmei will find it difficult to gain anything from this marriage. They firmly demand that Chen Bing and Zhao Lingshan work and live in Shangdu City after marriage.
Of course, Zhao Lingshan's parents were even happier when their daughter stayed by her marriage, so she was led by her son and daughter-in-law. However, Chen Li knew that his brother was not ready to work and live in Shangdu, so he was still hesitant. After all, life grew up in Qingquan, relatives, friends and close colleagues are all in Qingquan, and the uncles and aunts in Shangdu are really not close.
Since we all raised this topic, Chen Bing still wanted to fight for it. He frowned and said to Zhao Dacheng: "My family has actually prepared a wedding room for us in Qingquan, I..."
Before Chen Bing finished speaking, Yang Mei showed her philosophical and sharp side at this time. She probably felt that the previous indirect attacks had no effect. On the other hand, she directly smiled contemptuously: "Qingquan? Can that ghost place be compared with Shangdu?"
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little wrong. Chen Li didn't care. Chen Bing's face looked a little ugly. He was not satisfied that Zhao Lingshan was led by her brother and sister-in-law in everything.
Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Zhao Lingshan stole the conversation and said, "No, sister-in-law, I have discussed it with Chen Bing. He has saved 30,000 or 40,000 yuan over the years of work. I still have 10,000 yuan here. I can still buy a down payment dealer and buy a house to get married first. In addition, it is easy for Chen Bing to transfer his job, but Chen Bing can't push the job now, and it may take two or three months to delay..."
Chen Li saw a hint of surprise flashing across his brother Chen Bing's face, thinking that Zhao Lingshan probably hadn't discussed buying a house with his brother, but Zhao Lingshan's words did not ease the atmosphere at the dinner table. Zhao Dacheng's mouth, which was holding when Chen Bing entered the door, immediately pulled down. Zhao Laoguo looked at Chen Bing with a strange expression, and Yang Meisuo was stunned and thrust at Zhao Lingshan fiercely.
Yang Mei winked at Zhao Dacheng. Zhao Dacheng straightened her body and said to Chen Bing: "Chen Bing, this... is this your plan or your family's plan? You asked in Shangdu, but you haven't heard that getting married and marrying a wife has to pay for the house."
"..." Chen Bing hadn't reacted for a while, but Zhao Dacheng's almost questioning tone made Chen Bing feel a little confused.
Yang Mei also changed her face and said coldly: "Besides, what kind of down payment can you pay for 50,000 yuan? Although our conditions are a little worse, we are also from Shangdu. No one is stupid. The down payment of 50,000 yuan is at most a small two-bedroom apartment of 40 or 50 square meters. With your family's conditions, you can't feel so wronged Lingshan..."
Chen Bing's temper is much more straightforward than Chen Li. I don't know how to be a wronged fiancée when buying a small apartment in Shangdu. He felt a little angry, but looked at the pitiful Zhao Lingshan sitting beside him and said patiently: "Sister-in-law..."
Yang Mei sneered: "Lingshan is not a daughter who cannot be married. Look at her conditions and appearance, she is not a one-of-a-kind girl. Although she has been talking to you for three or four years, she is all in Qingquan. Don't expect to use this to control our family. Those who chase our Lingshan are lined up behind her."
Chen Bing couldn't hold back at this moment, and Zhao Lingshan quietly grabbed his hand under the table, so she did not have an attack on the spot.
"Hey... your sister-in-law doesn't speak very nicely, but I'm just such a girl, and I really can't bear to marry her out of such a grievance..." Zhao Dacheng said.
At this time, Yang Mei directly issued the conditions and said to Zhao Lingshan: "We have discussed it. Your brother and your nephew, don't expect to benefit from your fortune. But you have known how it feels to live in this dilapidated place for so many years. When you get married, you always have to buy a larger house in Shangdu and take your parents over to enjoy the blessings of a few years. I must say something bad. If your wedding house is prepared by Shangdu, we will never agree to this marriage..."
Chen Bing's anger that was pressing on his heart could no longer hold it back. He pushed the table away, got up and walked out of the door.
Chen Li sighed in his heart, knowing that the Zhao family regarded his daughter Zhao Lingshan's marriage as the biggest opportunity for the whole family to get rid of poverty and become rich. Seeing that Zhao Lingshan's tears were already spinning in his eyes, he quickly chased him out and intercepted his brother at the entrance of the alley.
Although Chen Li couldn't stand Zhao Dacheng and Yangmei's appearance, he couldn't just beat him up and part.
Zhao Lingshan is gentle and is his brother's good companion. When she was in Qingquan, she got along well with his parents. Although her brother Zhao Dacheng and Yangmei were a little philandering, she was not able to cause any interference to his family in the future. Chen Li still supported this marriage.
His parents are not in Shangdu, but he can only do his brother's job. Chen Li took out a cigarette and said:
"Brother, how big can this happen? You fell and left? Sister Lingshan is also in a dilemma. You should think more about her."
Chen Bing didn't ask why Chen Li smoked, took the cigarette and lit it hard, and said, "What's the matter!"
Zhao Lingshan also cried and chased after her. Seeing Chen Li and Chen Bing standing at the entrance of the alley, she felt aggrieved, but she didn't know what to say.
Her attitude towards her marriage with Chen Bing has been changing.
At first, the elder brother and his wife were worried that they would not be in the same place, and their relationship would be distant over time. It would be best if they could settle down in Shangdu. However, after knowing the situation of Chen Bing's family, his brother and sister-in-law immediately changed their attitude, and they wanted the two families to get married immediately, with the condition that they would buy a large house in Shangdu to get married.
Zhao Lingshan could understand that it was too hard for a family of six to squeeze in such a small house for so many years. Originally, his brother said that the unit could move out of the house, but the paper mills were like this, so he lost this idea and put his ideas, or to put his last hope on Chen Bing, and put his marriage.
Of course, they cannot expect to move into the wedding room, but they hope that Zhao Lingshan can move her parents out after getting married, so the couple will have a child and live here, but they are more affordable.
Even though this request was too much, Zhao Lingshan really couldn't blame them. Her family's conditions were like this. In previous years, his brother and sister-in-law were not bad for her. He secretly gave her money to study and work.
But with such marriage conditions, she didn't ask Chen Bing to talk to her. Everything was stuck in her heart, but she didn't know who to tell her.
At this time, Zhao Dacheng and Yang Mei and his wife flashed their heads from the yard, probably because they were worried that they would really drive Chen Bing away and disrupt the marriage, but they were unwilling to lower their bargaining chips.
Seeing this scene, Chen Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ignored Zhao Dacheng and his wife, and smiled at Zhao Lingshan:
"Sister Lingshan, don't feel bad either. My brother is also stubborn. He thinks that starting a family depends on himself, not on his family, but if he really wants to buy a wedding house of 30 to 40 square meters in Shangdu, wouldn't he really betray you? My brother is willing, but my parents are not happy. My brother doesn't say the matter of buying a house, he doesn't know, but this time I came here to follow my parents' "ruling order" and want to help you choose a large-scale wedding house in Shangdu..."
The current contradiction is the matter of building a house, but this is really not a matter for him.
Moreover, Chen Li also knew that his parents had more than 100,000 yuan in their hands, so he was willing to take it out for his brother to use it first. If he didn’t buy a house at this time, would he wait for the depreciation?
Seeing Zhao Dacheng and his wife still listening to the corner of the wall with their hands close to the gate, Chen Li continued,
"Brother, our company has a debt-based house, but we haven't found a buyer yet, but the price is much cheaper than outside, and the apartment type will definitely satisfy you. I was going to take you to see the house. I saw if you are satisfied or not, but I didn't expect that everyone will fight for the house at this time..."
Although Chen Bing was angry with the attitude of Zhao Dacheng and his wife, he did not want to really hurt his unmarried heart and no longer insisted on anything at this time.
There is such a house, and Chen Bing's parents are really willing to use money to help them, so they directly solved the problem of the two people. Zhao Lingshan was naturally very excited and begged Chen Bing softly: "Are you worried that I will be unfilial to your parents in the future? Don't be so stubborn anymore."
Chen Bing was also determined to retreat, thinking that even if he didn't interact with Zhao Dacheng and his wife in the future, he would not break up with his fiancée. He hesitantly asked Chen Li: "There will be no problem in the procedures for debt repayment, right?"
Chen Li smiled and said, "There is no problem in the procedures. If you didn't go with me to see the house in the afternoon, it wouldn't be appropriate to stand here..." Someone in the yard had already walked out of the yard as he heard the movement. Although they wouldn't be surrounded, they were embarrassed to stand here. Of course, no matter how good the temper was, it would be impossible to go back at this time and continue drinking and eating as if nothing had happened. Chen Li took Chen Bing Zhao Lingshan, stopped a taxi and rushed directly to Hubin Jiayuan.
