At the dinner table, Li Lihua was dressed elegantly and spoke softly to the Yang family members. But if you look closely, you can see that she is not inferior to Yang Xia's grandmother. She doesn't speak fast, but when she opens her mouth, no matter what she talks about, everyone will stop and listen to her. Then they make various responses. In comparison, Yang Xia's mother Xiao Yun, who has always had the lowest status in the family, is really like a little daughter-in-law. She didn't take many bites of the food from beginning to end. She was quite reserved when she reached for the table with her chopsticks. Except for Zhang Jie, the wife of Yang Xia's second uncle, who sat with her and chatted with her, she was not noticed at all.
Li Lihua actually understood the thoughts of everyone in the Yang family. Her husband was strong outside, but she had to be gentle. One of them was strong and the other was gentle. In fact, both of them were powerful characters. Luo Chen was a murderer, and she came forward to buffer and offset the negative impact.
On the Yang family side, only Grandma Yang Xia is more difficult to deal with, but this old lady can also see the situation clearly. In fact, she is the only child in the family, and Luo Zhixian is going to study abroad. On the one hand, she can't accompany him to study, and it will be difficult to grasp Luo Zhixian's movements abroad. On the other hand, who knows if he will find a daughter-in-law who he doesn't like after studying abroad. In addition, the relationship between Luo Zhixian and Yang Xia has been cultivated since childhood, and the most important thing is to know each other well. Li Lihua wants such a future daughter-in-law who knows her well. After all, the family business created by the couple also involves all kinds of relatives and friends. With only one son, how can they not be cautious
Whatever the two families have in the future, they can discuss it together, and through the Yang family, it will be easy to control Yang Xia.
So many favorable conditions have been discussed with Yang Xia's grandmother. Although Yang Xia's family has not given a definite answer yet, Li Lihua is not anxious. She is different from her husband. Although both are the kind of people who are determined to win, she is not straightforward in her tactics. She can weave an airtight cocoon with gentleness and silence to settle things.
After Li Lihua showed interest in Yang Xia's family's move to Chengdu, the topic of the family naturally turned to this.
Uncle Yang Xia said, "Third brother, your import and export company imports some mold materials. The industry in the southwest is not strong, and it is not as strong as in the coastal areas. It is said that the wages are much lower than those in the coastal areas. You said that you work very hard every month and get a fixed salary. Logically, you know this industry and have some connections. If you can't do it, you can just do it yourself..."
He mentioned this because, on the one hand, he really thought Yang Chuan's work was not very good. Secondly, when he asked him to come out and do it himself, he didn't really think Yang Chuan could do anything. After all, they were the eldest and second in command in Rongcheng. He was the deputy director of the museum. He was in charge of dozens of people and had some authority. The second in command, Yang Fengquan, was also a small leader with power in the Audiovisual Management Office of the Publishing Bureau. In comparison, Yang Chuan was indeed not good enough, so it was normal for them to look down on him. The reason for saying this was to let Yang Chuan see clearly the true Buddha of the Luo family in front of him. When it comes to doing business, if Luo Chen helps him, Yang Chuan may earn much more than he does now as a small manager.
In the end, Yang Chuan was not as smart as they thought, nor was he so competitive that he wanted to save face. He just nodded and said that it was indeed incomparable, but there was still a market here. He would look at the market conditions. When the market conditions were good, he could make some money, but when they were not, there would be nothing he could do. But what else could he do? His family was here, and if he wanted me to go out and make a living at my age, I would not be able to do so.
The uncle kept shaking his head, raised his glass to clink glasses with him, and said that it didn't matter, since we were all here, we could all help each other in the future.
He said he was helping, but he never mentioned anything substantial. When Grandma Yang Xia said she wanted to support the two stores, he was against it.
Yang Xia's uncle said, "Chuanzi, in your area, I know a friend in the Foreign Trade Bureau. The one who is in charge of the Foreign Trade Department is called Fu Liming. We had a drink together before. If you need any help in the future, let me know."
These words really warmed people's hearts. Although there was suspicion of showing off connections, at least they were said. Regardless of whether they were true or not, they were said. Second Uncle Yang Fengquan might really want to help if he could. After all, it happened in front of the old man today. If Yang Chuan said it through his old mother in the future, could Yang Fengquan simply shirk his responsibility
Yang Xia's mother Xiao Yun looked at this second brother and felt that unlike Uncle Yang Xia who never gave a positive answer, although this second brother always looked arrogant, at least he could help her husband with his work in Chengdu.
But then Yang Fengquan finished speaking calmly, and the atmosphere at the table returned to the enthusiasm of drinking. Yang Fengquan's wife Zhang Jie smiled and said, "Xia Xia, you have good grades. You have the opportunity to go abroad. Why do you have to stick to studying in China... The world outside is so big, and many people want to go abroad but can't. Your second brother's grades are not that good, and he can't apply to a relatively good school. I am worried about the bad school letting him go, so I won't let him go. You have such a good opportunity now, Aunt Li has a wide range of connections, and your brother Luo's university is not bad either. If you go with you next year, the two of you can take care of each other outside, and the adults will also be relieved."
When Zhang Jie said this to Yang Xia with a smile, the whole family looked at her. Yang Chuan and Xiao Yun realized that this was the highlight of the drama. And looking at the expressions and attitudes of the eldest brother and the second brother's families around them, it was obvious that this matter had been discussed long ago, so this was the ultimate purpose of the dinner.
As soon as Zhang Jie finished speaking, the eldest uncle's wife seemed unwilling to be outdone. With Li Lihua present, if Yang Xia was persuaded by Zhang Jie, wouldn't all the credit be attributed to her? She immediately said to Xiao Yun with the momentum of the eldest daughter-in-law, "I am a mother, and you are also a mother. We both know what is good for children. If it were me, I would not even consider such a thing. In my opinion, if Lihua can really get your Yang Xia into Xiao Luo's university and even save tuition, then my opinion is that we should pay for the board and lodging ourselves. Although living abroad is a little higher, they have done their best. If you two work hard, it will be no problem."
This statement, on the one hand, confirms that they must accept the other party's arrangement of all things, and on the other hand, teaches them to understand the ways of the world and not to rely on others for everything, and not to let others pay for their children's living expenses abroad.
Yang Xia was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with indescribable grievances, but she was always stubborn, and she tried hard to control her sore eyes and not let them blur. It was as if in front of these relatives, it seemed that the Yang family had raised her up just for this moment.
Li Lihua was a person who could read people's expressions. She smiled and said, "To be honest, Luo Zhixian didn't go to a top university. I think it would be unfair for her to go there with Xia Xia's grades. But the problem is that our family has an office there. In fact, we hope that they can help us take care of them while they study. Luo Zhixian can't take care of them alone. If Xia Xia goes together, they can work and study together. They can earn a salary and be self-sufficient abroad. Xia Xia will be able to earn money by then, so why would she need to rely on her parents, right?"
My uncle's wife smiled and said yes, but the envy and jealousy in her eyes were about to overflow. What a beautiful thing to say.
But after Li Lihua finished speaking, Yang Chuan still said, "This matter is too big, let's think about it again... What's important is Xia Xia's own opinion..."
Xiao Yun wanted to say something but stopped herself, secretly hating herself for being irresponsible as a husband.
Yang Xia suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Yang Chuan and Xiao Yun looked at Yang Xia, and Xiao Yun took off the apron she wore for the fish head hot pot and said, "I'll go too." Then she followed.
The fish head hotpot was boiling, but the atmosphere was very bad.
It was mainly the Yang family, all of them were complaining in their hearts. It was okay for Yang Xia, but it had come to this point, and you, Yang Chuan, were still there without giving a clear answer. How were you going to explain to Li Lihua? Li Lihua was here to attend the family dinner today, because you couldn't even manage the family? It was no wonder that you didn't have such vision, and you were hard to achieve in the eyes of your mother.
Everyone in the room looked awkward. Just as Grandma Yang Xia was about to speak to continue to shake Yang Chuan, a few people came in with wine glasses. The leader laughed, "Director Yang, I just said... Let me toast you... Oh, Sister Li is here too... Look, Old Yang didn't even mention it before..."
"By the way, my brothers heard about you, Director Yang, and came over to have a few drinks with you. This is Mr. Zhao..."
A skinny monkey was flattered and came forward to toast.
When an outsider toasted, the conversation was interrupted and the atmosphere became lively. Tan Yutou is a famous restaurant. Today is the weekend, and there are still many prominent people eating here today. However, in such a big city like Rongcheng, being recognized and toasted like this proves that you are also a top person. Second uncle Yang Fengquan handled it well, but he was very proud of it. On the contrary, although the eldest uncle is also an official, his connections are different from those of Yang Fengquan, so he can only complain in his heart that the second uncle is only doing some empty social activities and has no prominent people. But he saw his wife's eyes were bright, and it was obvious that she was very eager to enjoy such occasions.
Yang Xia's private room was like this. Xiao Yun accompanied Yang Xia to the bathroom and asked if everything was alright. Seeing his mother rushing over, Yang Xia, who had stayed in the sink for a while, shook his head and walked back.
On the way, we arrived at the private room where Cheng Ran's family lived.
Cheng Ran was still chatting with his parents when he suddenly saw Yang Xia at the door with tears in her eyes. He looked inside. Yang Xia was distracted at that time and did not see the person in the private room at all.
But Cheng Ran had no idea. He even thought it was a coincidence that he met Yang Xia.
However, this glance was too meaningful. Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan, who were previously a happy family, were stunned for a moment, and then they both looked at Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran's mouth twitched. Why are you all looking at me? Haven't I always been with you
I haven’t reached the Nascent Soul stage yet to cultivate a clone.
How did I piss her off
