After divorce, can I withdraw my Happy Beans?

Chapter 281: Innocent Heart, Bright Future

A gift worth just over 100,000 yuan is not too expensive, but it is also very good, far exceeding the average level in Jia County.

It is impossible for him to bring gifts worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars the first time he visits.

Of course, if he really wanted to give a gift worth hundreds of thousands or millions, given the current relationship between the two families, anyone with a bit of common sense from the girl's family would not accept it, and it would instead easily serve as a scapegoat.

Sometimes, the more expensive the gift, the better. It’s best if it’s just right.

In the eyes of others, if the gift he receives is too expensive, it means he does not understand the ways of the world.

You gave me such an expensive gift the first time you came to my house. Are you trying to show off your wealth?

What should I do when people come to visit me during festivals in the future?
What to do about engagement and marriage?
The tone is high, how will it end?

The price of just over 100,000 was just right. It not only gave face to Chen Qizhi and He Meifeng, but also allowed him to flex his muscles a little.

In the future, when I visit you during festivals, I will be able to act with moderation.

For Chen Qizhi and He Meifeng, their family has some money, and they can afford a pair of couple watches that cost one hundred thousand yuan if they grit their teeth.

There's just no need to spend this money.

When the other relatives saw the gifts Su Cheng sent, they nodded with satisfaction.

The first time Su Cheng came to their house, he didn't give them the common gold bracelets, jade bracelets, etc., but instead gave them a pair of couple watches, which showed that he put a lot of thought into it.

Of course, a price of one hundred thousand is just right, and everyone here can afford it. None of us have the temperament of a nouveau riche who would easily spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to overwhelm others.

They hope that Chen Jiani will be happy when she gets married, instead of feeling aggrieved.

After putting away the gifts, Chen Jiani's parents and aunt went to the kitchen to busy themselves, while the people outside chatted with Su Cheng and the others.

Su Wen frowned slightly and remained aloof throughout, answering every question asked.

Xia Yue'e was quite relaxed and had a good chat with Chen Jiani's aunt.

Su Cheng was standing by, helping his father to take over the conversation.

Seeing Su Cheng chatting enthusiastically with several elders, Peng Na enviously said, "Cousin, your brother-in-law is very popular! He can chat with my dad and the others."

Chen Jiani smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law has traveled a lot over the years. He has met all kinds of people and can talk to all of them."

Peng Na nodded, "Brother-in-law is indeed capable."

Chen Jiani asked: "When will Weiwei and Xiaohao come?"

"Just now, your aunt and your youngest aunt said they would be here soon, but they haven't come yet."

Peng Na shook her head. "Maybe there's a traffic jam on the highway today?"

Chen Jiani said: "They all came back from other places, and they didn't know to leave a little earlier."

Wu Wei, her younger cousin from her aunt's family.

Chen Junhao, her younger cousin from her father's family.

Peng Na didn't care about the two of them. Instead, she was looking forward to the blind date tomorrow morning. "Cousin, what time do you think we should go there tomorrow?"

Chen Jiani said: "Arriving at the agreed location five to ten minutes early is the minimum respect for others."

Peng Na nodded, "I thought so too."

After pouting for a while, she continued, "I will chat with him alone then. If he doesn't like it, we won't have lunch. If he does, we will stay for lunch."

"You don't need to tell me this."

Chen Jiani smiled and said, "After lunch, I will go home with Ke Xin, leaving you two some space."

Peng Na wasn't shy either, "I heard from your parents that you are going to Rongcheng the day after tomorrow?"

Chen Jiani nodded, "Then your brother-in-law's family and our family will go shopping together."

Peng Na pouted and said, "If my blind date is successful tomorrow, I will go to Chengdu the day after tomorrow!"

Chen Jiani laughed and said, "You little girl, you are in love!"

Peng Na looked at Lu Kexin who was standing beside her. "Kexin, you are so beautiful and pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Lu Kexin was eating melons nearby. When she heard this, her face immediately turned red and she quickly shook her head, "I don't have a boyfriend."

Peng Na continued to tease, "You are so beautiful, has anyone in your class written you a love letter to confess their love?"

Lu Kexin dodged her gaze for a moment, "No...no."

Peng Na was also an experienced person who had been in several relationships. She could clearly see the evasive look of a white flower like Lu Kexin. "You are still lying. Someone must have confessed their love to you in a love letter."

Like a child who had done something wrong, Lu Kexin blushed and lowered her head, "I didn't even look at it. I threw it all into the trash can."

Chen Jiani was a little surprised, "Ke Xin, who in your class wrote you a love letter?"

Being asked by her sister-in-law and Chinese teacher, Lu Kexin felt even more embarrassed, but she still answered honestly: "There are students from this class and from other classes."

"Ke Xin, the most important thing for you now is to study hard and get into a good university."

Chen Jiani advised: "If you want to have a boyfriend, wait until you graduate from college."

Lu Kexin nodded vigorously, "I know."

She didn't like those annoying male classmates and didn't want to pay attention to them.

Chen Jiani was worried, "If anyone else writes you a love letter, please come to my office and I will talk to him in person."

Lu Kexin nodded, "Okay!"

"Don't listen to your sister-in-law."

Peng Na at the side laughed and said, "If you don't have a passionate love affair while you are studying, then why bother studying? You will regret it when you graduate."

Chen Jiani glared at her cousin, "Do you think everyone is like you, dating since elementary school?"

Being exposed, Peng Na was instantly embarrassed, "Isn't that just because I'm young and ignorant?"

"Look at your sister Nana. She started dating in elementary school, then in middle school, high school, and college."

Chen Jiani seized on the typical example and used her own experience to teach others. "The result is that after studying for so many years, she learned nothing except having rich emotions and several ex-boyfriends. She can only return to the county town and rely on her parents for support."

Peng Na said stubbornly, "Cousin, after all, I work in the Cultural Bureau and got in with the first place in the exam!"

"You still have the nerve to say you got first place in the exam?"

Chen Jiani rolled her eyes and continued to expose the past, "Your uncle and aunt begged and pleaded with everyone, and asked people to give gifts to find a job for you. You were the only one who met the requirements, and you were the only one who took the exam. You were the first and the last one."

Peng Na chuckled and said, "Anyway, I'm number one."

Originally, when Peng Na said she got first place in the civil service exam, Lu Kexin was quite impressed. But when Chen Jiani explained the whole story, well, she also understood the value of this first place.

No, it should contain the energy of parents, which is beyond your imagination.

As they were talking, the door outside was pushed open and two people walked in with a little doll hanging on their bodies.

"Weiwei is here!"

Yu Xiaohong was sitting outside the kitchen peeling potatoes. She just happened to see a few people coming in and called out with a smile.

When the others heard it, they all looked over.

When He Meiyan saw her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, she immediately stood up and went to hug them, "Good boy, let grandma hug you!"

The little kid was not very big, just over one year old. When he saw so many people in the living room, he was so scared that he kept burrowing into his mother's arms and ignored his grandmother.

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Mom, Xiaoyu is shy, wait until you get familiar with her before you hug her!"

He Meiyan smiled and nodded, "Come here, I'll introduce you to your cousin Nini's boyfriend."

At this time, Chen Qizhi and his wife also came out of the kitchen, looked at the gifts in each other's hands, and took them with a smile, "Weiwei, I told you not to bring anything. This house is almost full. When you leave later, take something back."

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Aunt, just a box of mooncakes, some milk and fruit, not much else."

He Meiyan said again: "Let me introduce you to Sister Nini's boyfriend."

Wu Wei followed his mother. There were only a few people on the sofa. Apart from the familiar relatives and elders, the rest were Sister Nini's boyfriend and his family.

Of course, he would also greet those familiar elders with a smile.

Su Cheng smiled and stood up, saying, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, cousin!"

He Meiyan introduced with a smile: "This is your cousin-in-law Su Cheng, and his parents. You can call them uncle and aunt."

Wu Wei smiled and glanced at Chen Jiani who was following him, "Uncle, aunt, cousin, and brother-in-law."

A few people responded with a smile, and Su Cheng handed over a cigarette, "Cousin, have a smoke."

Wu Wei smiled and shook his head, "Brother-in-law, I've given up!"

Chen Jiani smiled and said, "You'd better quit smoking, so as not to smoke Xiaoyu."

Wu Wei nodded, "So I quit."

Chen Jiani greeted him, "Find a place to sit, you're welcome."

Wu Wei smiled and said, "Cousin, don't worry about me. This is not the first time I come to your house." Just as he sat down, the door was pushed open again. It was Chen Jiani's cousin Chen Junhao who came with his girlfriend.

The living room was bustling again, with strangers introducing themselves to each other.

At half past eleven, Su Cheng went to the kitchen to take a look, then put on an apron and skillfully fried four dishes.

While he was cooking, he also cleared two tables on the other side and started setting out the dishes.

By the time he finished cooking the last fish, everyone had been waiting for him and couldn't help but make a few jokes.

Uncle Peng Bin: "Su Cheng, you've worked hard as a chef today, come and eat!"

Uncle-in-law Wu Xuekai: "Su Cheng, come and sit down, I'll have a drink with you!"

Seeing her son-in-law was also very satisfied, He Meifeng helped him take off his apron and said, "Xiaocheng, please sit down and eat. You must be tired!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Everyone, don't wait for me. Use your chopsticks, or some dishes won't taste good if they get cold."

Chen Qizhi poured a glass of iced black tea for his future son-in-law and said with a smile: "We are all family. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's eat together."

Su Cheng came to the seat and smiled as he picked up the iced black tea. "Dear elders, I have something to do in the afternoon and I have to go to Rongcheng. I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all. I wish you all good health and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Everyone followed suit and raised their glasses, laughing and saying, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

After drinking, the atmosphere became completely lively. Everyone picked up their chopsticks to taste the cooking of Su Cheng, the future son-in-law, and praised him highly.

Su Cheng felt very comfortable with these people's attitude and felt that he was respected enough by Chen Jiani's family.

Although he was liked by his mother-in-law in the past, he was poor and had low aspirations, so no one took him seriously.

Sometimes I was busy in the kitchen, and by the time he came out, the meal was almost half finished.

People are mutual. You respect me and I respect you.

I'll be polite and let you eat first.

As a result, you didn't take me seriously and really ate first.

This will inevitably make people feel disappointed and feel that they are out of tune with these unfamiliar people.

But today he let Chen Jiani's family eat first, and all the other relatives waited for him to come to the table before they started eating.

This is the contrast, this is the gap, and this is the meaning of working hard to make money and stand out.

If I don’t sit at the table, who dares to pick up their chopsticks?
If I don’t raise my glass, who dares to move their mouth?
It is comfortable and pleasant to get along with relatives who understand and abide by the rules.

Similarly, it also represents the basic qualities of Chen Jiani's relatives. As expected, the whole family are civil servants. They have a high level of political awareness and are flawless in terms of social skills.

After drinking a glass of wine, Peng Bin smiled and said, "Su Cheng, you are going to Rongcheng this afternoon, and I said I would accompany you for a drink."

Su Cheng said: "Uncle, I have to drive in a while. I will come back to have a drink with you next time."

Peng Bin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I won't advise you. Business is more important."

He is also an experienced person, so he naturally understands one thing: the more holidays there are, the busier the capable people are.

Just like when he was still energetic, he always wanted to visit the homes of various county leaders with gifts.

I run around to more than ten or twenty houses a day, constantly going back and forth between them, all for the sake of human relationships and worldly wisdom.

The result was that after a busy day, I didn't eat a single bite of food and just drank some water, and I felt exhausted.

Of course, his subordinates are similar. During every holiday, he goes out to socialize, and his wife Yu Xiaohong is the only one at home. However, she will still receive holiday gifts and holiday greetings from her subordinates.

I want to climb up and maintain my position, and so do others.

Now that he is old, he has lost his former drive and is too lazy to maintain social connections. As a marginalized deputy director waiting to retire, not many of his subordinates are willing to give him gifts to maintain their relationship.

He has become more open-minded over the years.

I have been scheming for my whole life and finally became a deputy director. I only have one daughter in my family, so this is how my life will be!

Of course, although he has let it go, he is still happy to see the younger generations struggling.

Young people should have the drive of youth, be full of vigor and strive to make progress.

In this society, if the relationships between people do not move forward, they will only move backwards.

He also heard about Su Cheng from his sister and brother-in-law.

Acquiring Wanda Plaza is not something that ordinary people can do.

As for his nephew-in-law Su Cheng, he could only describe him in eight words - this boy has a bright future!
Therefore, when Su Cheng said he was leaving in the afternoon, no one present said anything, no one tried to keep him, and no one said that Su Cheng disrespected them.

Just now, Su Cheng was busy in the kitchen for half an hour, which showed enough attitude.

Because they all understand that only if Su Cheng keeps moving forward and gets better and better, can they, his relatives, benefit from it and prosper together.

Although he was just drinking beverages, Su Cheng still toasted each elder and said some auspicious words of blessing.

This is a rule and a courtesy, and it also allows Chen Jiani's relatives and elders to get to know him better and understand his character.

Of course, he toasted to his relatives and elders, and those relatives and elders also toasted to Su Wen and Xia Yue'e.

Su Wen can drink, and he drank a lot.

Xia Yue'e drank some drinks with them.

But Su Wen was a man of few words to begin with, and he became even more silent after drinking, sitting there motionless.

Su Cheng didn't want Chen Jiani and other relatives to have too much of a problem with his father, so he smiled and said, "My elders, my father is a farmer, he has no education, and he can't speak. He has suffered all his life to support my studies and this family."

"His happiness and unhappiness were suppressed in his heart and he couldn't express them well."

"Come to think of it, I've been with my dad for so many years, but I've rarely seen him smile. Every time I go home, he always has a stern face and no expression."

"I didn't understand before. I thought he had something against me or didn't like me. So I always misunderstood my dad and liked to quarrel with him. I relied on the fact that I had read a few days and knew a few words, thinking I understood a lot. I wanted to argue with him about right and wrong on everything, which often embarrassed him."

"Later, I understood and knew I was wrong. Father's love is silent and as majestic as a mountain, but it is my most solid shield and support."

"I know my dad is very happy today, but he just doesn't know how to express it, so uncles, aunts, and all the elders, please forgive me."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "I'll toast to everyone again!"

After drinking a glass of wine, all the relatives and elders laughed and said, "My parents-in-law have a good son. Nini will not be wronged when she marries him in the future!"

At this moment, Su Cheng spoke frankly from the bottom of his heart. No one looked down on him, and no one had any opinions about Su Wen in their heart.

I just feel that Su Cheng, as a son, is filial and has a pure heart.

It's not easy for Su Wen to be a father. He has worked hard for his family all his life, but now he is finally reaping the rewards of his hard work.

Su Wen and Xia Yue'e, in particular, couldn't help but wipe away their tears when faced with so many people saying nice things to them.

They were deeply touched by their son's words and the attitudes of these relatives.

These relatives who were previously out of reach also made them truly feel that their family is getting better.

This also proves that their previous hard work for this family was not in vain.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law were wiping away tears, and Chen Jiani and her family of three had to persuade and comfort them.

They also felt that Su Wen and Xia Yue'e had no other problems except for their lack of education, and they would definitely get along well with each other in the future.

Of course, you can't live together for a long time.

If they live together for a long time, there will definitely be quarrels and the two families will become unhappy.

This is due to each person's knowledge and cognition, as well as their daily living habits.

After this little episode, everyone naturally continued to toast each other, with Su Wen being the main target of their attention.

Everyone toasted him, saying that his hard days were over and that he had raised an outstanding son.

If someone had said something else, Su Wen would definitely not drink again.

But he was happy when his son was praised, and he accepted all the praises. He drank one and left halfway through to rest on the sofa.

Of course, everyone can also tell from the fact that Su Wen never refuses anyone that comes to him that he is a man of integrity, he just doesn't talk much and is a little dull, but he definitely has no bad intentions.

The lively meal lasted for more than an hour, and beer bottles were scattered all over the floor.

There were also people who drank white wine, so the two bottles of Qingchengse that Su Cheng brought were opened and let everyone taste them. Everyone praised them highly.

When some uninformed people heard that the factory price of this bottle of wine was 96,000 yuan and the selling price was 188,000 yuan, they were all shocked!
Those who can drink took a few more sips to savor it, and those who can’t drink also tried it out of curiosity, and everyone was happy.

With the giant Su Cheng joining this warm and harmonious family, everyone is full of hope for their future.

Many elders can foresee that after a lifetime of hard work, they can only struggle at the bottom and be promoted to section or deputy section level before retirement.

But the younger generation, as long as Su Cheng is willing to help in the future, will definitely be able to create a new world and soar into the sky.

This whole family of theirs is finally going to have to make it through.

After another 20 years of operation, the situation will definitely not be the same as it is now. It will surely be full of guests and prosperous.
