Chapter 192: Fighting with father-in-law and mother-in-law, Brother Xiao5, you are so bad, you just
After dinner, Chen An asked a few girls, sorted out the shopping list, and then went out.
As soon as he left the courtyard, he heard Xie Zhiyao's voice behind him: "Brother Chen, where are you going?"
Chen An turned his head and took a look at Xie Zhiyao's attire. He was wearing a well-fitting suit and his hair was carefully groomed. He couldn't help but joked, "Mr. Xie, I think you are in great luck today. It looks like everything will go smoothly for you."
"Is that so?" Xie Zhiyao asked in surprise.
Chen An smiled and said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after noon, right?"
"Then I'll take your good words." Xie Zhiyao smiled. He was 50% sure about this trip. Although he didn't know whether Chen An was talking nonsense, it was still a good sign.
Chen An chatted with Xie Zhiyao for a few more words, then said goodbye to him and continued walking towards the town. There was no way, this guy was always trying to trick people into investing in the village, but he didn't give them a wife, so how could he afford to get involved with him?
Chen An arrived in the town and bought some fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as daily necessities. He also bought a few small toys at a small store to play with the cat.
After shopping, they returned to the courtyard. Hongdou and Nana had gone to the restaurant. As for Ma Ye, I don't know what he was busy with. Chen An put his things away and was a little surprised that he didn't see Damai, so he went upstairs and knocked on Damai's door.
Da Mai opened the door with a very aggrieved expression. She put her arms around Chen An and said, "Brother Xiaowu, wuwu..."
"What's going on? Come inside and tell me." Chen An hugged Da Mai and sat down on the sofa. He was a little curious. He was only out for a short while, so what happened?
Da Mai acted like a spoiled child for a while, and then told the story again. After Chen An heard it, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking it was a big deal.
"Okay, Auntie, this is for your own consideration. After all, you haven't worked since graduation. How can a parent be so relieved if you suddenly say you want to go to Shanghai?"
Da Mai muttered with a depressed look on his face: "But, I want to accompany you! I thought my mother was easy to talk to, but unexpectedly, she directly denied me. What should I do now, Brother Xiaowu?"
Chen An thought about it for a moment, then smiled and whispered something in Da Mai's ear.
Barley asked in surprise, "Will this work?"
"Don't worry, just do as I say. At least you can pass this level of auntie."
"But what about our father-in-law Zhou? He has always wanted me to find a job, get married early, and have two kids. If he knew I was planning to go to Shanghai, he would probably be furious." When Damai thought of her father, her expression became very unnatural. It was obvious that her father-in-law was indeed quite capable.
The simplest solution is to clarify the relationship between the two, and then the resistance will naturally disappear. However, this is not appropriate in the current situation, so we can only change our thinking.
"This problem is actually very simple to solve. The reason why your uncle has not supported you is partly because of your cousin's incident, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but this is not the main reason."
"The most important thing is to worry about your future life. After all, compared to being a teacher, which is considered a stable job in traditional concepts, the profession of online writer is not so easy to be recognized."
"So facts speak louder than words. Even though it sounds harsh, it is an eternal truth. As long as your uncle sees your achievements, he will naturally not stop you. In this way..."
After hearing this, Da Mai quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Xiaowu, although my income is not bad and I don't spend a lot, I have only saved less than 100,000 yuan in the past few years."
"Don't worry, just tell Auntie this. Ask her to ask someone familiar with the business how much it will cost. This kind of insurance usually requires a five-year payment, and the amount is no more than 200,000. I'll make up for it for you when the time comes, so they won't have an excuse. When the studio is established and the contract is in place, they'll have even less to say."
"Okay, I'll try." Damai was obviously lacking in confidence.
Chen An is not worried about this problem at all. After all, as a parent, the most worrying thing is whether their children's life is rich and whether they can have security in their old age. Then there are two simplest ways. One is to pay the social security in one lump sum, but this is not suitable for the time being. After all, the studio can bear this part when the time comes.
Then the remaining thing is naturally pension insurance, and although Chen An did not say it explicitly, the fact is that when you are not doing well, no one will respect you, and no one will understand you. So if you want your friends and relatives to respect you, you must first live a decent life.
Soon, Da Mai finished the call and came out of the bathroom with a happy look on her face. She hugged Chen An and said with a smile: "Hehe, Xiaowu brother, you don't know, when my mother heard that I actually saved 200,000 yuan, her surprised expression was exactly the same as what you said! You are amazing!"
"Silly girl, it's not that I'm great, I'm just a bystander. By the way, has Master Ma finished writing his manuscript?"
"It's all done, but I haven't written my own manuscript today."
Chen An pondered for a moment. He had many classics from his previous life in his head. Although many of the popular masterpieces were not suitable, there were still many routines that were suitable for the current Barley. It was just that his energy was limited. Even if everything was in his mind, it would still take a lot of time to write it down.
"So, the novel you are writing right now is not suitable for your personality. After all, there are too many things in it that cannot be written well just by thinking about it out of thin air. I will help you study it carefully and find a style that suits you best, so you can work on it. People move and live, trees move and die."
"Well, actually, I have run out of inspiration for this story a long time ago. If you hadn't been encouraging me, I might have given up."
"Okay, don't think about it. Change your clothes and take a rest today. I'll take you out to play..."
"Okay, Brother Xiaowu, how about we go for a walk in the ancient city?" Damai suggested.
"We'll go to the ancient city another day. Let's go somewhere else today. Don't worry, we won't let you down."
In the afternoon, in a hotel room in Shuanglang Town, Damai leaned in Chen An's arms with a ruddy face, pouted, and said depressedly: "Brother Xiaowu, you are a big liar. You said you would take me for a ride and practice driving with me."
Chen An gained two energy points and 200 points, and was in a very good mood. He looked at the depressed Da Mai and couldn't help laughing: "Someone was not like this just now..."
"Don't say that. If you say that again, I won't pay attention to you."
"Okay, good boy, after dinner, you can drive back home, right?" Chen An specially rented a small sports car and drove all the way here along the Erhai Lake with Da Mai. The main reason was that the small courtyard was not very safe.
“That’s more like it…” Da Mai always felt that some descriptions in books were too exaggerated, but when it happened to him, it seemed that the descriptions were too subtle.
