Chapter 809
"That won't do."
The old lady was rarely clear-headed for once and explained: "Her partner is in business, and his conditions are very good."
Just the engagement ring on her daughter's hand cost several thousand, according to the second one. Could he still covet her daughter's house?
At this time, before He Meifeng could speak again, Zheng Hong walked over quickly from across the road: "Mother!"
"Sister Meifeng? Are you here to see my eldest sister?"
"Yes." He Meifeng nodded. Because of Zheng Hong, she didn't stay any longer and found an excuse to leave first.
Zheng Hong frowned as she watched her back. She and He Meifeng were of the same age. Although they didn't have much contact, she had heard some rumors.
He Meifeng's reputation wasn't very good.
"Mother, what was Sister Meifeng saying to you?"
The old lady didn't hide it: "Said she wanted me to help set up your eldest sister and her fourth brother."
The He family's fourth brother?
Zheng Hong immediately rolled her eyes: "That fourth brother of hers? Mother, don't listen to her. That fourth brother of the He family divorced because he beat his wife. If Eldest Sister is with him, she'll be falling into a fire pit!"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the old lady's anger flared up: "This heartless thing, how can she do such a thing? She even wanted your eldest sister to sell her house in Longcheng and come back to live with her fourth brother. She's simply black-hearted!"
"I think she just took a fancy to the eldest sister's house in Longcheng. If she sells it and comes back, she won't have to worry about food and drink for a lifetime in Longyang." Zheng Hong pulled the old lady toward the house: "The eldest sister is doing well now. Let's not get involved in her affairs. As long as she knows how to show you filial piety, that's enough."
The old lady was furious. Fortunately, her daughter had a partner and was preparing to get married. If the He family had really come to her to climb the social ladder years ago, she would definitely have introduced them to her daughter.
In the evening, Zheng Hong busied herself with a table full of dishes.
As soon as Wang Chunyan sat at the table, she took the initiative to serve Shen Jingjing a bowl of yellow croaker rice cakes: "Jingjing, try this. This yellow croaker is very good. It's a rare item in Longyang; you can't even buy it usually."
The eldest sister-in-law was suddenly so polite, which surprised Shen Jingjing, but she still reached out to take it: "Eldest sister-in-law, I'll do it myself. Everyone sit down and eat; don't be so polite."
Wang Chunyan smiled and glanced at Shen Mingming.
The couple clearly had something going on. Shen Mingming was hesitant, and due to his personality and the self-esteem of the head of the family, he was too embarrassed to ask his sister for anything.
But this matter was a serious one, so he had to be the one to say it.
So he hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Jingjing, and suddenly said: "Jingjing, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Shen Jingjing looked at her eldest brother while holding her bowl: "What is it?"
"Isn't Dabao going to take the college entrance exam this year? But his grades are really not good." Mentioning his son's grades, Shen Mingming felt a bit awkward. Xiaobao was still young, so it wasn't clear, but Dabao and Erbao's grades were not good at all; they didn't inherit his genes.
"I was thinking, if it doesn't work out, I'll send him out. Isn't your boyfriend running a company? Can you arrange for Dabao to go in and get some exercise?"
Hearing this, Shen Jingjing frowned: "Brother, Dabao is too young and has no social experience. You can't just throw him into Longcheng like that."
"Isn't there you, Jingjing?" Wang Chunyan followed up: "You're getting married soon, so we'll be one family then. Isn't it only right for one family to help arrange for Dabao?"
"Besides, it doesn't matter what he does; he's not picky. It's mainly to exercise him." **CHAPTER 810: You Are Shen Jingjing, Right? **
