Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 194

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Nan finally received a call from his father. Sheng Nan answered his father's greetings very officially, and hung up the phone without saying a few words. It was her second brother, Sun Shenghua, who called for a long time, and his name was Yaoyang. answer the phone.What did you ask on the other end of the phone?Yaoyang replied: "Better than you, happier than you, I am also here, we spent the New Year together at A Fei's house this year, and we will spend it here in the future, it is lively, don't worry about eating carrots, people Shengnan has better vision than you, this kid understands life and is down to earth, the most important thing is to love your Shengnan, treat her well, and make offerings to her every day like a Bodhisattva."

I looked at Yaoyang gratefully. After Yaoyang answered the phone, he handed the phone to Shengnan. Looking at me with a smirk, he said, "Don't be grateful to me. I'm telling the truth. If you treat Shengnan badly, I will definitely be the first No one will let you go!"

I immediately said, "I don't let myself go!"

Shengnan hummed a few more words on the other end, and then asked "Huh?" "No, why is my little mother here? Tell her not to come!"

After hanging up the phone, Katsuo frowned, and I asked, "What's wrong?"

Katsuo said hesitantly: "My little mother and my father will come together in a few days. I want to meet your father, you. Mom!"

I said calmly, "I'll see you when I see you. Our family is not shady. What are you afraid of?"

Yaoyang showed an ugly expression and said: "His father is fine, but her little mother is a bit difficult to deal with."

I curiously asked: "What's so difficult?" Dazzling didn't answer, looked at Katsuo, who replied: "She treats me very well, but for outsiders, she's kinda... I can't tell. I'm not afraid of anything else, but my parents will be angry."

I was a little puzzled and asked: "Your dad, you. Mom, or my dad, my mom? I'm so confused?"

Shengnan coquettishly said: "It must be our father and our mother. My little mother has a big temper and airs, so it's hard to deal with."

I sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged, but it's not easy for my parents to give birth to me and raise me for such a big year, and I don't want to grow old. If I let them get angry, I can first say yes, don't blame me when the time comes , I can't hold back, I can bear everything else, but I really can't bear my parents!"

Katsuo nodded and said, "I can't bear it either, but my little mother is really good to me, let's try to resolve it peacefully."

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Katsunan's father and her young mother came to Zhuhai, but I was not allowed to pick them up.We directly checked into the SJS Resort Hotel and asked our family to have dinner at night. My parents seemed more nervous than me. I persuaded them: "Why are you nervous? Although we are not a big family, we are not bad. I married It's Sheng Nan, not their family, go, what are you afraid of!"

Katsuo had already gone alone, we arrived, Katsuo came to pick us up, and led us into a VIP room, where Katsuo's father was sitting next to a woman who was about the same age as Katsuo, dressed in jewels, But the match is suitable, with a delicate face, a good figure, and a dignified look.Yaoyang and Shengnan's second brother, Sun Shenghua, were also there.

Seeing us coming in, Yaoyang stepped forward and said, "Uncle, Auntie, sit down, sit down, let me introduce you."

My parents sat down, and Yaoyang introduced: "This is Sheng Nan's father, this is Sheng Nan's mother, and this is Sheng Nan's second brother."

After Yaoyang finished introducing them one by one, Katsunan's father nodded politely, and her second brother also greeted him politely, but her youngest mother, with a haughty expression, looked annoying.

My dad first said: "My father-in-law, why didn't my mother-in-law come over a year ago, so we can celebrate the New Year together?"

Grandson Lin Shengnan's father said politely: "Ah, there are a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year every year in the army. I don't have time. Thank you for taking care of Shengnan for such a long time. I spoiled this child since he was a child. He is self-willed and troublesome for you."

My mother hurriedly said: "No way, Sheng Nan is sensible, obedient, and well-behaved. We like him very much, and we have long been regarded as a family."

The conversation was harmonious, but it was broken by Sheng Nan's mother. Sheng Nan's mother said: "Although Sheng Nan in our family is not a rich man, he has not suffered much. He can't do housework at all. From what she said, she knows how to cook and cook now, so it seems that you have done a lot of work in your house, right?"

Sheng Nan hurriedly said: "Little Mom, I really want to do it, but there is no chance for me to do it. Our mother... No, Auntie and her family are all doing it by herself. It was okay before, only uncle, Now I live in with A Fei, she is busy from morning to night, very hard."

Her little mother raised her eyelids and asked, "Why don't you hire a nanny at home?"

My mother replied honestly: "What kind of nanny should I hire? I can do it by myself for just a little work. If I hire another nanny, there will be no place to live at home."

Her little mother let out an oh, and then asked: "Then they are married and have children, won't the family not be enough?"

Katsuo hurriedly said: "We still have a small apartment to live in, but I like living at home, it's convenient, hee hee, I can stretch out my clothes and eat while I open my mouth."

Sun Zilin said to my mother embarrassingly: "Ah, mother-in-law, don't get used to the child too much. If you have some work, let Sheng Nan do it. No, let's change to a bigger house and hire a nanny. Don't you?" too tired."

My mother said with a smile on her face: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. Katsuo helped me a lot. They all go to work and are tired all day. How can I keep them busy when I go home at night? I don't care about this housework." I’ve been doing it for decades, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Shengnan's mother still said in a nonchalant manner: "Shengnan, why do you think you have to run so far all of a sudden, BJ's house is there, and there is a nanny to take care of you. You have come here to suffer from a long distance, I guess It depends on the face of the person, is it popular?"

My mother was not angry, and explained: "How can I make my child angry, no, no."

I said bluntly: "Auntie, my parents and I like Katsuo very much. We treat her as a family. How could you make me angry? Are you thinking too much?"

When my mother heard what I said, she was not polite, and also shot back: "Shengnan has no discernment and no social experience, so he is easily deceived by a few sweet words. I am also thinking about her after marriage. Many people and many families have It’s the same before and after marriage.”

Katsuo said anxiously: "Mom, you're overthinking. A Fei and I really love each other. His family is my family. Believe me, they are really good to me."

Sun Zilin nodded and said, "This young man is not bad, I think he is pretty good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Nan's mother stopped him and said: "You are all in the army, you don't understand the society, and people have ulterior motives."

My dad didn't speak all the time, and now he lost his temper and said: "Mother-in-law, we are an ordinary family. When Katsuo came to our house, I didn't know what kind of family Katsuo was. I think what kind of family she is. It’s the same for us. The most important thing is that the two children love each other, as long as they can be happy. As for the married life you are worried about, if they like it, they can live with us. If they don’t like it, we will move out and let the house come out for us. They can do it too, although the house is not big, it is enough for the two of them to live in, including the nanny!"

Hearing what my dad said, Sheng Nan almost cried out in anxiety and said, "Uncle, let's live together, and we will take care of you until you grow old!"

The little mother said disdainfully: "See, this is what I am worried about. When you are old and sick, they will have children again. Sheng Nan has to take care of both the children and your elders. If the husband despises her as a yellow-faced woman and doesn't want her anymore, then she will become a yellow-faced woman, what should I do? I have to plan for the rest of her life."

I replied bluntly: "I will take care of my parents for the rest of my life. This is the duty of every child. According to you, does it mean that no one with parents can get married?"

The little mother snorted and said: "This is what I want to say. If the family conditions are good, they will naturally not encounter this kind of problem. When the parents are old, there will naturally be someone who can take care of them and give them the best pension conditions, medical care, etc. The means, the children can get the best education, and the two of them don’t have to worry about oil, salt and firewood. As the saying goes, poor and lowly couples have nothing to worry about, so why should you find a good match as a partner.”

My parents shook their heads helplessly when they heard this, and stopped talking.

I asked directly: "Then what do you mean, you don't agree with me and Katsuo being together, your reason is that we are not in the right family?"

The little mother nodded and said: "That's what I mean. Of course my opinion can't influence Katsuo, but if you ask for my opinion, I will express it truthfully."

The air suddenly became quiet, and my parents sat there in a bit of embarrassment, poking their hands.

I can't see my parents being wronged the most, stood up and said: "I respect you, I brought my parents here today to meet, whether you agree or not, as long as Sheng Nan is willing, I will be with Sheng Nan, Heroes don’t even ask about their origins? You knew your status from birth, and I’m still young, so who knows what will happen in the future? Don’t bully the young and be poor, don’t you understand?”

My mother pulled me aside and told me not to say anything.

The little mother's face was ugly, but she didn't speak anymore. Everyone sat like this, and no one spoke.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Liu Ziran walked in with a breezy face, and yelled at the little mother kindly: "Little mother, here you are, don't ask me to pick you up."

After finishing speaking, he greeted Sun Zilin again and said, "Hi Uncle, I haven't seen you soon. My dad often mentions you. How are you?"

The little mother's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and said with a smile: "Zi Ran, didn't I ask you to come over for dinner? Are your parents okay?"

Watching them greet each other, I felt teased, so I stood up and said, "Since you still have guests, let's go first."
