Soon after finishing the meal, Ruan Mei left with two plates. The plates needed to be returned to the "plate recycling area", and the canteen staff were responsible for cleaning them.
Li Xiaomin sat on a chair and chatted with Li Shu.
He hesitated slightly, and then said: "My nephew, let me ask you a question, that..."
Li Shu sat next to Li Xiaomin and was teasing the cute thrush. The little thrush's hair was fluffy and soft and felt very good.
"Just tell me."
Li Shu and Li Xiaomin spoke in their hometown dialect, which was obviously different in pronunciation from Mandarin. The familiar accent made him relax.
Li Xiaomin saw Ruan Mei walking past the dining tables, almost reaching the plate recycling area, and said:
“Xiaomei and I borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from Alipay, what will happen if we can’t pay back the money
I don't like to borrow money. Owing money to others makes me feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I can't sleep even thinking about it in the middle of the night. "
"If you don't pay it, you will probably be subject to a credit report, and the debt will probably not disappear. You will still have to pay it back thirty or even fifty years later. As for other effects, you can search online...
No, didn't you just say swipe your credit card? "Li Shu frowned slightly.
"Hey~ Not only credit cards, but also Alipay."
"What on earth have you done? Borrow money everywhere?"
"Forehead… …"
Li Xiaomin tilted his head slightly and did not look into Li Shu's eyes. Instead, he stared at the smart thrush with his big eyes and small eyes.
The thrush tilted her head smartly. Why did she look at Li Xiaomin like a big, downtrodden dog
But when I moved my eyes upward, I saw a few white hairs on Li Xiaomin's head, and the thrush immediately wanted to pluck him out with its sharp beak.
Li Xiaomin whispered: "Xiaomei's family had to repair their house, so Xiaomei and I sent back 100,000 yuan, but Xiaomei and I didn't have the money, so we borrowed the money.
But don’t get me wrong, Xiaomei’s parents didn’t ask for this money, it was Xiaomei who took the initiative to give it. "
The air became quiet for a moment.
Li Shu looked at Li Xiaomin, waiting for Li Xiaomin to continue.
Li Xiaomin swallowed his saliva: "Xiaomei said it was not easy for her parents to raise her, and she wanted to buy another car for her parents.
There are very few cars in her village. If her parents could have a car, they would be proud of themselves, and they would be able to shut up those who say weird things.
A car may cost more than 100,000 yuan. With a new house and car, it will be much easier for her brother to find a wife. "
Li Xiaomin raised his head slightly, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes. Keywords such as "marriage fraud", "helping the younger brother demon", "South Vietnamese bride escapes" occasionally flashed through his mind.
Li Shu has a strange face.
Li Xiaomin knew that Li Shu was a capable person, and he obviously wanted to get some advice from Li Shu. These things made him very painful, anxious, confused, and even a little overwhelmed.
He didn't know who to discuss these matters with.
Li Shu thought for a moment and then said slightly: "I am in Southeast Asia and have contact with Chinese in various countries in Southeast Asia. As far as I know, it is very common for South Vietnamese women to marry foreigners and then subsidize their families with large sums of money."
"Really?" Li Xiaomin was stunned: "Are they ready to run away at any time?"
"Ahem, cough, that's not true." Li Shu said, "Didn't you just say that when Ruan Mei married into China, there were some people in their village who said strange things.
When a South Vietnamese woman marries abroad, her family is likely to be met with mild hostility from the people around her. Well, it’s the same in every country.
For example, if an Indian woman marries abroad, ordinary Indians and many men will probably scold her family. If a Japanese woman marries abroad... and if a Chinese woman marries abroad... ahem. "
Li Xiaomin frowned, but still looked at Li Shu expectantly: "Then why should we give a large amount of money? If we have the money, we will give it, but we don't have so much money. Borrowing money now... I feel like she is Help your brother and the devil.
I didn't dare to ask too much about these things, for fear of starting a fight. "
"Ahem." Li Shu considered it, "Maybe it's not about supporting the demon, but... dignity."
"Dignity? I don't understand."
“What I didn’t say just now is that many people in South Vietnam are very unfriendly to China because of some historical war reasons and their admiration for the United States.
When Ruan Mei marries to China, her parents, brothers and sisters may not fully support her.
Giving money can show that she is living a good life in China. Spend a large amount of money and brag that she is living a good life in China. Others will believe it even if they don't believe it!
Her family can also let go of their worries and like her more. She can also shut up those who want to see her jokes and make people envious of her. This proves that she was right to marry to China, and her dignity is gained. "
"Ah? There are so many twists and turns~" Li Xiaomin scratched his head. He suddenly felt a little pity for his wife. She must be under a lot of pressure.
Li Shu suddenly laughed: "This principle is very simple. You can understand it as soon as you think about it."
"Hey, I'm stupid." Li Xiaomin scratched his head in embarrassment.
After listening to Li Shu's words, most of the doubts in his heart disappeared. Before, he was really worried that when he woke up one morning, Ruan Mei had left as if she had disappeared from the world.
The people are gone, the money is gone, and when the time comes, he is worried that he will not be able to bear the blow.
Li Xiaomin thought for a while and said expectantly: "If I marry a foreign wife, does it count as bringing glory to the country!?"
"Ahem, cough, cough~" Li Shu grinned, and in the end he could only give a thumbs up: "Great!"
"Hey hey hey~"
The atmosphere is not as oppressive as before, the air is also lively, and the thrush is jumping happily.
Li Shu thought for a while and said: "An ordinary woman marries to a foreign country thousands of miles away. This country has also been at war with her own country. She has no language, no food, no friends...
This is a very frustrating thing.
I suggest you be more gentle and considerate, communicate more, learn her language more, and teach her your language more.
Let her heart stay with you.
Or occasionally give her a rose, a piece of chocolate, or take her to a restaurant for a nice meal. "
Li Xiaomin blushed and wrote down that this guy must have never given flowers to a woman. As for chocolate, sorry, he hasn't bought chocolate in more than ten years.
At this time, Ruan Mei came back and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
She saw that Li Xiaomin was much better and her eyes lit up. She could tell that Li Xiaomin seemed to have something on his mind recently, but she didn't say anything no matter how she asked him.
She realized that Li Shu seemed to have enlightened Li Xiaomin, and she knew that Li Xiaomin respected and even admired him, the eldest nephew of the family.
Ruan Mei nodded gratefully to Li Shu.
"There's nothing to talk about. Let's go. Let's go shopping during the afternoon break." Li Xiaomin stood up and said with a smile.
Seeing Li Shu also stand up, Li Xiaomin suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "By the way, my eldest nephew, Wang Hu and his cousin also work in our company. His second uncle relented and agreed to the matter between him and his cousin."
