Chapter 196: Hongdou, your family customs are quite strange? Discussion from Damai's parents
Ten minutes later, on the way back to the courtyard, Chen An sighed deliberately.
Nana asked curiously, "Why are you like this? Is it unfair for you to pick us up after get off work?"
"It means being the guardian of two beautiful ladies. This is a blessing not everyone has."
"That's not the issue. I'm worried about something else."
Nana became interested, "Hey, you still have something to worry about, tell me quickly to make Hongdou and I happy."
"Um, those two rich ladies, can you lend me some money?"
"Borrow money?" Xu Hongdou frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to you? How much money do you need?"
Nana asked nervously, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you? What happened? I still have some money here. If it's not enough, I'll find a way."
"Hey, I want to get married but I don't have any money. It seems the fastest way to get money is to borrow money from my two sisters."
"Asshole, you scared me." Nana kicked Chen An angrily. She was really scared just now and thought that Chen An lost money in some investment.
Xu Hongdou also pulled Chen An's ear in dissatisfaction, "I'm not your mother-in-law, why should I lend you money to marry a wife?"
"Uh?" Chen An blinked and looked at the confused Hongdou and asked, "Well, can you borrow money from your mother-in-law to get married? Is this the custom in your family? Can you say, 'Auntie, trust me, I'll write you an IOU?'"
“Puchi…” Nana reacted and also started giggling.
Xu Hongdou was furious. This bastard didn't see her for a day, and she got angry every time she saw him. She twisted the little bastard's ear and warned him, "Don't joke about this anymore, understand?"
"I know, I know." Chen An smiled awkwardly, still feeling very proud in his heart. It is said that the easiest way to make someone miss you forever is to owe him money. Judging from the situation, it seems that he can start by doing it and ask Nana to do business together.
After returning to the courtyard, Chen An went into the kitchen and asked the two girls to go back to their rooms to wash and change clothes, and then come down for a midnight snack.
On the other side, in an old residential building in Changsha, Zhou's father had just returned home from get off work.
Mother Zhou thought about it for a day and decided to discuss it with her husband. She didn't dare to call during the day, for fear that this loud voice would not be able to control his anger. "Old Zhou, I'm back. I have something to tell you."
Father Zhou asked curiously, "What's the hurry?"
"Please sit down and have some tea."
Father Zhou picked up the tea and took a sip, feeling very satisfied. Although his daughter did not listen to him and insisted on her own way, the child was still very filial. Even when she was away from home, she still remembered her old father.
Zhou's mother took out a brochure from the side and put it on the table, "Take a look at this first."
Father Zhou picked it up and looked at it for a few seconds. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. "Who sold this to you?"
"No, what they were promoting was the latest pension product launched by the girlfriend's company of Mr. Li's son downstairs."
Father Zhou quickly waved his hand to interrupt, "Wait a minute, what's the point of this? Even though your retirement salary is not high, there's no need to do this, right? Besides, my current salary is more than enough for me, so even if I retire in a few years, we don't have to worry about it, right?"
Mother Zhou rolled her eyes at her husband and explained, "You've been asking the girl to find a job before, isn't it because you're worried that she won't have a baby when she's old? I'm thinking this is a good idea..."
Father Zhou interrupted before Mother Zhou finished speaking, "No, if you do this, it will be even more impossible for her to work."
"No, listen to me. The girl asked me to ask for her help. She wants to buy one for herself. It's a five-year, two hundred thousand yuan limit."
"How much?" Father Zhou was a little surprised.
"Two hundred thousand, the girl saved all these years, it's all because of you that she urged me to do it, otherwise the child wouldn't be like this."
"I'm doing this for her own good, isn't it?" Zhou's father muttered, picked up the insurance brochure on the table and began to read it carefully.
When Zhou's mother saw this scene, she couldn't help but laugh. Although she said it was tough, she actually loved her daughter more than anyone else.
Mr. Zhou carefully read the insurance product's premium amount, as well as the subsequent protection and benefits. Although the prospects were well described, he still felt it was a little disappointing.
"That won't work. If she wants to pay for her old-age care, social security is more reliable. And even if the girl has saved money over the years, don't let her spend it. Let her keep it for herself. It will be her dowry when she gets married in the future. With money in hand, she won't have to worry about her mother-in-law's mood."
"Let's put it this way. In two years, when she reaches the age of retirement, we can just pay for her social security."
"We don't need to worry about social security. The girl will take care of it herself."
Father Zhou looked at his daughter-in-law and asked, "What do you mean, did you agree to come back and take the teacher exam?"
Zhou's mother explained the matter, and Zhou's father couldn't help but frown and think about it. After a while, he spoke, "No, I don't agree with this. She hasn't worked since graduation, and she suddenly wants to go to the Magic City. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"Besides, with her personality, I'm worried about her being out there alone. If she wants to work, she can stay at home. Even if she doesn't want to take the teacher recruitment exam, she can just find a random company. Don't even think about working outside."
Mother Zhou couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "I'm afraid we can't stop this at all."
"What do you mean I can't stop it?" Zhou's father glared. Having been managing naughty kids for years, he really has some momentum.
Zhou's mother said dissatisfiedly, "What's the point of you yelling at me? If you are so awesome, why don't you just call the girl and tell her yourself?"
Father Zhou's temper paused. It was really difficult for him to manage his own daughter. If he said it in a serious way, his daughter had a strong sense of self-esteem and was a taciturn person who never said anything. She had the stubborn personality of an ox. If he said it in a superficial way, it would have no effect at all. And no matter what he said, his daughter was fine except that she was a bit of a homebody and loved writing. After all, this tea was quite delicious.
"I said it's not convenient for me to talk about this, but you as a mother should tell me."
Mother Zhou spread her hands helplessly, "You think I didn't say it? When she called me this morning, I directly objected. The girl's voice was very low at the time, and I didn't dare to say anything more."
"In less than an hour, she called me and said that she wanted me to buy her pension insurance, and the payment was 200,000 yuan. How could I dare to say anything nonsense? And it's not without gain. From what the girl said, it seems that a man named Xiao Wu Ge is going to open a studio in Shanghai and invite her to go there."
"Brother Xiaowu? Studio?" Father Zhou frowned and complained, "It sounds like you are not a serious person. No, you are not reliable. I don't agree."
Seeing her husband's reaction, Zhou's mother was speechless. Men are men, they are too careless.
"I'm telling you, Lao Zhou, I suspect..."
