Chapter 812 Banggen's Intentions

Father Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. You know, most people of Banggeng's age have become workers. At that time, the factory was still in urgent need of workers.

But Bang Geng failed to become a worker, which is enough to show that he has a problem with his character.
"That joke doesn't sound like a good thing, so I advise you to think about it carefully again."

Hearing this, Engineer Chen became anxious.
"Marriage is between Xiaodang and me and has nothing to do with Banggeng. Besides, you have never met Banggeng, so how do you know he is not a good person? You are not judging people by appearance, but by name."

After hearing this, Chen's father said calmly: "Okay, you invite that Bang Geng out tomorrow and I'll meet him. If he's really not a bad person as you said, I will definitely not stop you from getting married."

Although Engineer Chen felt that his father's idea was a bit too much, he still agreed.
He knew that his father was so cautious because he was considering him.

In addition, Engineer Chen also felt that although Bang Geng was not very good at acting, he was very good at performing. If Bang Geng performed better tomorrow, he believed that his father would not be able to see the problem.

Mother Chen also spoke at this time: "In that case, you can invite Xiaodang as well. It's a good opportunity for us to meet Xiaodang."

It is normal for parents-in-law to meet their daughter-in-law, so Engineer Chen agreed immediately.

After seeing Chen's mother off, he rode his bicycle towards the textile factory, ready to tell Xiaodang about this.

On the other side, Huang Yanling had returned to the small courtyard. This was the place Yan Jiecheng rented for a tryst with her, and the rent was very cheap, only 1 yuan.

The original owner was an old worker. As he was old and his children were all away from home, he thought of renting out the courtyard to earn some income and attract people. Huang Yanling walked into the courtyard and looked at the layout that was a bit old but full of life, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

How nice it would be if this was her own home.

But she knew this was impossible because she had already obtained a marriage certificate with Banggeng, and being with Yan Jiecheng was improper and could not be known to others.

She paced slowly in the courtyard, her fingers lightly running across the mottled walls.

Her mind kept emerging with every moment she spent here with Yan Jiecheng. Those moments full of warmth and ambiguity made her feel sweet and full of guilt.

She knew that she was walking on the edge of morality, but her inner emotions were like a wild horse that was difficult to control.

Huang Yanling sat down on a small bench in the yard, slightly raised her head, and looked at the clouds floating in the sky.

She began to think about her future.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, it was Yan Jiecheng standing outside.

Huang Yanling's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. Yan Jiecheng looked at her and asked with a smile, "How's the situation? Have you taken down Engineer Chen?"

Hearing this, Huang Yanling's enthusiasm suddenly disappeared, and she said coldly: "How could it be so fast? Engineer Chen is not a fool, how could he be easily hooked."

Yan Jiecheng frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Then you have to work harder. Whether we can live a good life depends on this."

At this time, the old locust tree in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, and the leaves rustled, as if telling their inner entanglement and anxiety. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, falling on the ground in patches, and the interweaving of light and shadow added a bit of restlessness to the atmosphere.

Huang Yanling felt disgusted after hearing this. She glared at Yan Jiecheng and said, "You only think about yourself. Have you ever considered my feelings? If I am found out, what will be the consequences?"

Yan Jiecheng knew he was in the wrong, so he softened his tone and said, "I am doing this for our future. Besides, didn't I promise you that I would give you money as long as you help me complete the task?"

"Money, money, money, all you care about is money." Huang Yanling said dissatisfiedly.

At this moment, the breeze seemed to blow harder on the old locust tree, and the rustling of leaves became more and more rapid, as if it was setting an uneasy rhythm for the argument. The mottled shadows of the sunlight on the ground also swayed, as if disturbed by their quarrel.

Huang Yanling turned around and didn't want to look at Yan Jiecheng anymore.

She knew that Yan Jiecheng was looking down on her now, and she had to find a way to change her position in Yan Jiecheng's mind.

Sure enough, when Yan Jiecheng saw that Huang Yanling didn't care about money but was willing to do things for him, his heart softened immediately.

Yan Jiecheng walked over to Huang Yanling, gently held her hand, and said sincerely: "Yanling, I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings. Don't worry, I will definitely consider you more in the future."

Huang Yanling still didn't speak, but her body trembled slightly, showing her inner fluctuations. Seeing that she didn't respond, Yan Jiecheng felt a little anxious and continued, "Yanling, I know this matter is very difficult for you, but I can't help it. I can't let my brother Yan Jiefang not get married."

Huang Yanling raised her head slightly and looked at Yan Jiecheng with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Jiecheng, don't worry, I will help you."

Yan Jiecheng was moved and took Huang Yanling's hand and went into the house.

The sunlight shone through the window onto them, as if bringing them a glimmer of hope. The rustling of the old locust tree also seemed to become softer.

At this time, Engineer Chen came to the textile factory and called Xiaodang out from the workshop.

"My father and my mother both want to meet you and Bangteng."

Xiao Dang was stunned when she heard what Engineer Chen said. Countless complex emotions suddenly surged in her heart, with panic, worry, and entanglement intertwined. She bit her lip subconsciously, and her eyes showed obvious uneasiness.

Xiao Dang tried to calm himself down, forced a smile, and said to Engineer Chen: "Engineer Chen, this... isn't this a little too sudden? We are not ready yet. Look, I haven't even changed my work clothes yet, and I am a mess. And Bang Geng is very busy at work recently, so he may not be able to spare the time. Why don't we find a suitable time next time."

Engineer Chen looked at Xiaodang's nervous look, smiled gently and said, "It's okay, Xiaodang. My parents just want to meet you, don't be too nervous. And there's no need to prepare anything special, just treat it as an ordinary meeting. As for Banggeng, I think no matter how busy he is, he should be able to spare some time to meet my family. After all, this also shows his appreciation for our relationship."

Xiaodang secretly groaned in her heart, for she knew Banggeng's nature very well. That hooligan who was idle and causing trouble all day long, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause if he went to meet Engineer Chen's parents.

She tried to find an excuse and said, "Mr. Chen, Banggeng's job is quite special and sometimes he really can't leave. And I also think it's not appropriate for us to meet your parents now. We haven't spent much time together, and I'm afraid it would be a bit awkward to meet so soon."

Engineer Chen frowned slightly and said, "Xiaodang, I understand your concerns, but my parents are really looking forward to this meeting. They are not picky people, they just want to get to know you and Banggeng. And I think this is also an opportunity for us to take our relationship to the next level."

Xiaodang felt that she was backed into a corner and didn't know what to do. She kept thinking about all the ridiculous things that Banggeng might do, and she became more and more anxious.

She racked her brains to think of a way to persuade Engineer Chen to change his mind again.

However, Engineer Chen seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Xiaodang with anticipation in his eyes, waiting for her reply.

Xiao Dang had no choice but to agree. Her face was full of helplessness, but her heart was in turmoil.

Bang Geng likes to play pranks, so if he makes a fool of himself, you must not get angry."

Xiao Dang said to Engineer Chen nervously, with worry and uneasiness in his eyes.

Engineer Chen looked at Xiaodang's nervous expression, smiled gently, and comforted him, "Xiaodang, don't worry so much.

Even if there are some minor incidents, it doesn’t matter.”

After hearing this, Xiaodang didn't feel relaxed at all.

She frowned slightly and couldn't help complaining, "Mr. Chen, you don't know how unreliable Bang Geng is. He has been naughty since he was a child and has caused trouble for his family. When he grew up, he still didn't work properly and was idle all day. Take the last time for example, he had an argument with someone on the street and almost got into a fight. If no one had stopped him, who knows how big a mess it would have caused. Another time, he promised something for his family, but he forgot about it the moment he turned around, leaving everyone helpless.

I'm really afraid that he will do something weird again during this meeting."

Xiaodang began to imagine all kinds of bad situations that might occur in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

She prayed silently that Banggeng would be able to restrain himself a little during this meeting and not make a mess of things.

But she also knew in her heart that once Banggeng got angry, no one could stop him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dang sighed helplessly and could only take things one step at a time. She looked at Engineer Chen, forced a smile, and said, "I hope everything will go well." Engineer Chen held Xiao Dang's hand, gave her some strength, and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

However, Xiaodang's heart was still full of worries. She didn't know what kind of trouble this meeting would bring her.

After returning home, Xiaodang told Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi that Chen's father and mother wanted to meet Banggeng and Xiaodang.

Jia Zhang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "Xiaodang, this is a good thing. After meeting her parents, you can get married."

Qin Huairu frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Xiaodang, you have to be careful about this matter. Banggeng has that kind of temper. I'm afraid he will cause trouble."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu and said, "You just worry about nothing. This is such a good opportunity. Xiaodang, you must prepare well and leave a good impression on the parents."

Xiao Dang sighed helplessly and said, "Grandma, Mom, you don't know Bang Geng. He likes to play pranks all the time. I'm really afraid that he will make a fool of himself when we meet."

Jia Zhang said nonchalantly: "Why are you afraid? He's a man, it's normal for him to have some minor flaws. Besides, if his parents really like you, they won't care too much about the jokes."

Qin Huairu was still worried and said, "Xiaodang, why don't you talk to Banggeng first and ask him to be more careful about his words and actions."

Xiaodang nodded and said, "This is the only way. I hope Banggeng can listen to me." The whole family was caught up in worry and anticipation about this meeting.

Bang Geng had been hanging out on the streets all day. When he got home, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right. He smiled and asked, "What happened to everyone?"

Jia Zhang said, "Great! Xiaodang's partner's parents want to meet you."

Bang Geng was stunned at first, then a hint of pride appeared on his face, "Hey, this is good news. It seems that Xiao Dang really values ​​me."

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's nonchalant look and said worriedly, "Banggeng, don't take it lightly. This meeting is very important. You must be careful about your words and actions and don't embarrass Xiaodang."

Bang Geng waved his hands impatiently, "Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do."

Xiao Dang frowned and said, "Bang Geng, don't brag. With your usual behavior, I'm really afraid that you will make a fool of yourself."

Bang Geng glared at Xiao Dang and said, "You really don't trust me? No matter what, I will never do anything wrong in this kind of situation."

Jia Zhang chimed in, "That's right, Bang Geng is not an ignorant person. Xiao Dang, don't worry about it."

Xiao Dang sighed helplessly, "I hope you can keep your promise. Otherwise, if this meeting goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

Banggeng sat down on the chair nonchalantly, "What's the problem? At worst, I can just disappear."

Qin Huairu glared at Bang Geng angrily, "How can you be so ignorant, kid? This concerns Xiaodang's happiness, you can't mess around."

Bang Geng curled his lips and said, "If you want me to behave well, you can give me money."

Banggeng has been unemployed for a long time, wandering the streets every day, and has spent all the money he had. Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity, he must extort money.

Qin Huairu didn't expect that Banggeng would take this opportunity to blackmail her and Xiaodang.

"Bang Geng, Xiao Dang is your sister, how could you do this?"

Qin Huairu looked at Bang Geng with anger and sadness. But Bang Geng shrugged nonchalantly, "So what? I have no money to spend now. If you want me to behave well, you have to give me money."

Xiao Dang was so angry that his face turned red. "Bang Geng, you're going too far! How can you be so selfish?"

Banggeng rolled his eyes at Xiaodang and said, "Selfish? I'm doing this for the sake of my own life. If you don't give me money, I can't guarantee what I will do when we meet." Jia Zhang was hesitating. She wanted Banggeng to behave well, but she didn't want to give him money easily.

"Bang Geng, you have to promise to behave well first, and we can talk about the money later."
