Chapter 2568 Prelude to meeting the mother-in-law "What did you tell them in advance?" "I didn't say much, I just said that I would bring someone to my home." At the gate of Xingfu Community in Lilong County, Central Suzhou, Chen Kangjie drove his car After parking in the parking line on the roadside, he opened the car door and pulled Lin Ling out. Lin Ling¡¯s father, Lin Dachang, works in Lilong County and is about to retire from the County Commerce Bureau. Lin Ling¡¯s mother, Zhou Kuru, works in the Lilong County Archives and has already retired at home early. Lin Ling herself has an older brother and a younger brother. Her older brother Lin Fan works at the Lilong County Commercial Transportation Company, and her younger brother Lin Zuo has also graduated from college and has partnered with others to open an automotive supplies wholesale and retail store. Lin Ling only told Chen Kangjie in detail about these situations before she came. Before that, Chen Kangjie only knew how many people Lin Ling had in her family. It was not clear what she believed more about. Generally speaking, Lin Ling¡¯s family is pretty good in Lilong County. They belong to a well-off family, but they can¡¯t be said to be rich. Lin Ling¡¯s parents live in Unit 302, Building 1, Xingfu Community. It is an ordinary house with three bedrooms and one living room of more than 90 square meters. Now only Lin Dachang and his wife and his brother Lin Zuo live here. After his brother got married, he bought a house elsewhere. Since he was visiting Lin Ling¡¯s house, it was impossible for Chen Kangjie to have a large group of people following him. It would be too artificial, and it would also appear to be insincere. Of course, it was impossible for Chen Kangjie not to buy a gift when he came to visit for the first time. However, although Chen Kangjie was rich, he did not choose those luxurious luxuries. What he brought over were some glasses that the elderly would use and two bottles of wine. If Chen Kangjie brings something too expensive, it will feel like bribery or pressure. On the contrary, Chen Kangjie has already given Lin Ling a lot of money. If their old man really needs it, Lin Ling should be able to help at any time. All in all, Chen Kangjie today is an ordinary person. What he wants to do is also something ordinary people have to do. After taking Lin Ling out of the car, Chen Kangjie turned around and opened the trunk, quickly taking the gift out of the trunk and twisting it in his hand. "Then I" "Why, are you scared now? You want to back out. If you regret it now, it's still too late." Lin Ling said in an intimate tone. "No way, I just feel like I'm lying to them. When you meet a son-in-law, you don't know who he really is. If you find out in the future, you won't curse me to death." Chen Kangjie said tangled. Lin Ling requested that the identity not be disclosed. He did not want Chen Kangjie to come to the door looking like a big star for the first time. The reason why Lin Ling did this was not to torture Chen Kangjie, but to a certain extent, it was just to test Chen Kangjie. A rich, famous, and popular person has to meet his mother-in-law as an ordinary person. This test is still very difficult. To put it bluntly, Lin Ling hopes that her parents will accept this person, not the "LONG" identity. She also hopes that Chen Kangjie will face his family with his sincerity without losing his halo. Otherwise, if Chen Kangjie puts on a good show, his family may not say anything out of other considerations, but they may not really accept it afterwards. ¡°Furthermore, Lin Ling doesn¡¯t want everyone to know about her affairs. If Chen Kangjie used his true identity to show off, the entire community and the entire county might be in a frenzy within ten minutes. This might not be a good thing for her family, nor would it be a good thing for Chen Kangjie himself. Therefore, the principle of their trip is to be low-key and sincere. "Don't worry, it won't happen. It's like an employee who was doing a job with a salary of one thousand yuan. Suddenly his salary was raised to ten thousand yuan. Is he angry or happy? Instead, his salary of ten thousand yuan was reduced. He would only be furious before." Lin Ling said with a metaphor. In fact, this is a bit similar to how easy it is to go from frugality to luxury, but how difficult it is to go from luxury to frugality. If Chen Kangjie can be accepted as an ordinary person, then knowing his talents and abilities will only make him more satisfied. On the contrary, the kind of person that the mother-in-law fears and hates the most is someone who appears to be rich and generous at first, but only reveals his true face as a pauper when he agrees. "Where can you find a metaphor like yours? Where do these things go? By the way, I think this is an old community. Why don't you give them a better environment?" Chen Kangjie raised his head and looked at the community inside the wall. said the house. "I mentioned it, but they didn't want to. They feel that they are familiar with living here. If they are willing, I will let them." Lin Ling replied. "Do they still think you are just a part-time worker?"?Salary-class people? "Chen Kangjie asked. "How did you know? " "My guess is that if they know that you are now a boss, they can change the environment even if they don't leave here. Moreover, your elder brother and your younger brother don¡¯t seem to have received much help from you. It¡¯s unlikely that they don¡¯t want it. "Chen Kangjie accompanied Lin Ling slowly into the community through a rusty gate. "I did not tell them the truth, because if I did, there would be a lot to explain. What's more, I'm just taking care of your family business now. Strictly speaking, the money is still yours. But it¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t help. When my brother bought a house, I contributed 170,000 yuan, and when my brother started a company with someone else, I borrowed 200,000 yuan. Happiness does not necessarily require having a lot of money. Sometimes the process of working hard is also happiness. " Lin Ling said. "Why do you help me take care of my family business? Those things I took out to help you are yours. Do I still want you to return them to me? What a silly girl, from now on, those things are all yours, don¡¯t mention those that you have or don¡¯t have. You should be more generous to your family, it's only 200,000, so you can borrow it or not. Even if you give me 10 million, I won¡¯t say no. "The two of them came to the downstairs of Building No. 1 as they spoke. "Hey, isn't this Xiaoling? "Suddenly an elderly woman in her fifties or sixties came up from behind and shouted. "Ah, hello, Aunt Liu. Lin Ling turned around to look at the person, paused, and then greeted with a smile. "Oh, long time no see. Are you back to see Lao Lin and Lao Zhou?" Hey Xiaoling, you are pregnant. When did you get married? Why didn't you inform Aunt Liu? "Aunt Liu looked at Lin Ling's bulging belly and said doubtfully. Lin Ling was embarrassed: "I got this knot in another place, so I didn't notify you. " "Oh, this can't be done. How can you not notify us of such a big event like marriage? Aunt Liu watched you grow up, and your parents and I have known each other for decades. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, this old Lin and old Zhou It's true, if you young people don't talk about it, they won't mention it either. Let's see if one day I don't criticize them. "Aunt Liu said warmly. And Chen Kangjie stood nearby, holding a gift in his hand, unable to say a word. Of course, Chen Kangjie was also very embarrassed and didn't know how to interrupt. What's more, Lin Ling didn't introduce him. " Lin Ling's lack of introduction does not mean that Aunt Liu treats him as transparent. "Xiao Ling, this is your subordinate?" I heard that you became a manager in a big company. "After a few words, Aunt Liu finally turned her attention to Chen Kangjie. This Aunt Liu originally wanted to ask Chen Kangjie if he was Lin Ling's husband, but when she saw Chen Kangjie's age, she felt something was wrong, so she changed her question. Is he a subordinate? In fact, why would a subordinate come to the house? Aunt Liu obviously has doubts in her heart, but she just can¡¯t say it directly. If it¡¯s not true, wouldn¡¯t it be a joke? ¡°Aunt Liu, he is not me? subordinate, but my husband. "This is Lin Ling's home court. Of course she has to handle such a sensitive topic. "Chen Wen, let me introduce to you. This is Aunt Liu, my mother's old colleague, who also lives in this community. "Immediately, Lin Ling introduced Chen Kangjie. "Hello, Aunt Liu. "Chen Kangjie said hello immediately in a decent manner. But Aunt Liu did not respond immediately. She was stunned. She really didn't expect that her guess was correct. "He, he is your husband, but how can I Judging from the fact that he is only in his twenties, Xiaoling, are you at least ten years older than him? "Coming back to her senses, Aunt Liu asked in surprise. "You are really an old person. Asking this kind of question will make others embarrassed, but this Aunt Liu just doesn't care, and she really doesn't care. Become an outsider. ¡°That¡¯s about it, Aunt Liu, let¡¯s go up first and come and play at home when we have time. " Lin Ling responded vaguely before saying goodbye and leaving. " Lin Ling is not stupid enough to invite Aunt Liu to her home as a guest. It is difficult to deal with just one outsider, let alone two elderly people at home. And here we are. At home, it is easy to talk a lot without outsiders, but with outsiders, it becomes more difficult to resolve and harmonize the atmosphere. In our current society, Lin Dachang and Zhou Kouru feel like they are being laughed at. It¡¯s okay for a man to be more than ten years older than a woman. No one would find it strange. But if a woman is more than ten years older than a man, people will comment and think it¡¯s weird. ¡°Ah, okay .Okay, then you should go home quickly, go back quickly. "Aunt Liu was startled for a moment before she realized that Lin Ling had not invited her. If Lin Ling invites her upstairs, Aunt Liu really wants to go. But Lin Ling didn't invite her and said it would be another day, so Aunt Liu wouldn't be able to just follow her. What¡¯s more, Aunt Liu, who has been there, also noticed that Lin Ling¡¯s parents probably didn¡¯t agree with Lin Ling¡¯s love life. Otherwise, how could she have not notified such a big event like a marriage, and never heard of a banquet being held in Lilong County. In this case, the two young people still have a lot of work to do when they go back. It is indeed not a good idea to follow them at this time. After saying goodbye to Aunt Liu, the atmosphere between Lin Ling and Chen Kangjie became a little solid. ¡°This is just a relaxing prelude but it¡¯s so difficult to deal with. The two people in the family don¡¯t know how to deal with it.
