Chapter 1577: Calculating an Account
Getting a wife is not that simple.
When Zhou Zheng married Qiao Zijin, the Zhou family spent a lot of money on Qiao Zijin. Gold jewelry and diamond rings are too expensive to afford, but the basic equipment is everything. On the day of the wedding, the wedding dress worn when welcoming guests was not rented. It was picked out by Qiao Zijin himself and bought with money from the Zhou family. Including the two subsequent toasting outfits, Qiao Nan changed into four outfits in total.
Others rented them, and the Zhou family gave Qiao Zijin a sum of money to buy them. Even these clothes could only be worn once.
Of course, Zhou Zheng's ex-girlfriend should not think about the treatment that Qiao Zijin had. Qiao Zijin was not good at all. When she married into the Zhou family, she was still a eldest girl and gave birth to a granddaughter to the Zhou family. The most important point is that after marrying Qiao Zijin, the Zhou family has gained real benefits.
Out of the principle of reciprocity, Zhou's mother was so generous to Qiao Zijin. She was giving Qiao Zijin face in this way, thinking that after we became a family, we would all be polite and not make the quarrel too embarrassing.
Until Qiao Zijin was caught having an affair by Zhou Zheng, Qiao Zijin's life after marrying into the Zhou family was indeed as Zhou's mother had imagined, and it could be considered a peaceful life for ten years.
With someone else as her daughter-in-law, Mother Zhou's attitude would undoubtedly be different.
In order to prevent anyone from saying that they were cheating on their marriage, before his son’s second marriage, Zhou’s father, as a representative, made everything clear to Zhou Zheng: “Your mother and I have no control over what you want to buy for your wife. You are more than ten years old, and your mother and I have raised you so much, but you have never bought anything for your mother and me. In the future, when you get married, you will have to look after this family by yourself. "
Zhou's mother is a pretty cool person. If you marry a daughter-in-law that I like, I will take more care of this family. I'll tell you exactly how much this home needs, and I'm happy with it. On the other hand, I won’t object to my son marrying a girl I don’t like. If you want to get married, then go ahead.
It's just that, don't ask me to pay for all the expenses for your wedding. Don’t tell me what your new wife’s requirements are. You must pay for them yourself.
As parents, they raise you and watch you get married and start a family. The last thing you can do to help your son is to leave a house for him. In Zhou's mother's view, only a house can be called a home.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are obviously renovating their second house. That house is not only larger than the current one, but also beautifully decorated. It is basically completed. As long as it is left for two or three months, the place can be dispersed and toxins removed, and people can move in directly with their bags.
Ordinary parents will definitely leave this newly renovated large house to their children who are getting married, and they will live in the old one. Zhou Zheng doesn't do that. Everything is earned by us old people. It would be nice to give you a house. Don't even think about choosing. You pick it, and I won’t give it to you.
In fact, at first, the house was decorated for Qiao Zijin to live in. I heard vaguely that the country seems to be interested in allowing two children. What's more, Zhou's mother has always had a rural household registration. According to the situation of the Zhou family, Qiao Zijin could still have a second child as long as the household registrations of Qiao Zijin and Zhou Ying were put together with Zhou's mother.
If there are two children at home, then the apartment we live in now will definitely be small.
No one should wrong their grandson. Mother Zhou renovated the second apartment decisively, but before she could tell Qiao Zijin, the affair between Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun was exposed.
Zhou Zheng's face darkened immediately when he heard his father say that he didn't have everything he wanted for this marriage and couldn't do anything. Is this an attitude in favor of his second marriage?
His ex-girlfriend had already found out everything about his marriage to Qiao Zijin and had given him a military order. When a woman like Qiao Zijin who dared to cuckold him got married, she was treated so well. She met him earlier and fell in love earlier. It makes no sense. She is cheaper than Qiao Zijin.
Whatever Qiao Zijin has, she must have it, and whatever Qiao Zijin doesn't have, she can have it too. In a word, when she married him, the wedding must not be simpler than Qiao Zijin's.
Zhou Zheng had known for a long time that this matter could not be solved so easily, and he probably had to give his parents a hard time before agreeing.
It's better now. When Zhou's father said this, Zhou Zheng knew that there was no room for grinding on this matter. Because of his parents' temper, he didn't discuss this matter: "Dad, Mom, are you doing this because you don't want me to get married?"
Zhou's mother smiled: "I won't let you get married? I've given you the household registration book. You can get married whenever you want. You can apply for the certificate whenever you want, even if it's tomorrow. Why don't I let you get married? You're getting married. Yingying is already ten years old. In ten years, when Yingying gets married, it's impossible for your daughter to get married, and you still have to ask me to get money from you, right? As I said before, your father and I earned the money, and it belongs to us. Even if we die, you will have to wait until the day we die to see if all of my and your father's money is yours. Otherwise, while your father and I are still alive, you won’t be able to think about our old money.”
How she spends her love and whether she gives it to her or not is all her business, and not even her own son can interfere.
Zhou Zheng was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't do anything about his mother: "Dad, you... listen to what my mother said. If you don't help me persuade my mother, I have mentioned my ex-girlfriend's character to you. As you said With that statement, she would never agree to marry me. Could it be that Qiao Zijin has done something sorry for me, and I have to stay with Qiao Zijin for the rest of my life, and I am not even qualified to marry other women. ?”
This isn't a marriage, it's clearly a feud.
Even if the wedding is held reluctantly, after getting married, his ex-girlfriend will be able to quarrel with him for the rest of his life whenever he thinks about it. Since then, he has never had a good life. It is impossible to say that his life at that time was not as good as when he married Qiao Zijin.
"What advice is there? You don't know what your mother's temper is. If you marry someone your mother likes, your mother will take care of all these things, including how to provide money and how to spend it. You have to toughen your temper. If you want to marry someone You like it, and your mother doesn't object to it. You are already in your thirties, and you will be a grandfather in a few years. Do you still want me and your mother to control you until you die? Make a difference!"
As his wife's slave, Zhou's father stood on his wife's side without any position. He listened to Zhou's mother's words without hesitation: "Don't be so angry. To put it bluntly, let's settle the accounts. You have been married for ten years and worked for more than ten years.”
