His son, whom he had brought up with great effort, had done so many things behind her back just like that.
She had chosen the most distinguished girls in her family, but she had chosen to find a country girl in a remote corner. She had even given her gold and silver jewelry, and even a marriage certificate, without her even knowing it.
"Mom, you have some hot water. Just give the list to Peran."
Chen Jianguo observed the situation and noticed that something was wrong with his mother. He quickly fawned over her and sent her a teacup.
With a dark face, Mrs. Chen took the teacup from Chen Jianguo's hand and deliberately looked at the hand with the ring on it. She even glanced at Lin Pilan's hand.
Naturally, Chen Jianguo knew what he meant. He quickly smiled. His mother loved to show her face. As long as she gave him face, he wouldn't hold anything back.
Now that his daughter-in-law had already married into his family, his mother naturally would not do such a foolish thing like centrifuging the mother and son into one. A thousand faults were naturally the fault of this daughter-in-law who had suddenly appeared.
"On the 18th day, my family will invite another guest. So it turns out that the date set by the invitation cannot be changed. All of the guests will come on that day."
Lin Pilan did not notice the mother and son's eye contact. Instead, she wrote down the names of her uncles and aunts, not leaving a single relative's name on the list. She casually told them about the banquet at her house.
"What do you mean?" Old Mrs. Chen looked at her son, then looked at her daughter-in-law who appeared in the middle of the road, "On the 18th day of the founding, we have to go back to the construction site. The banquet will be held on that day, don't tell me we need him to ask for a leave of absence?"
"No need, Auntie. "That's just my family's guests …"
Lin Pei Lan felt someone poking her in the back and subconsciously looked over. When she saw Chen Jianguo's smiling face, she immediately came to her senses.
She was confused and almost told him the truth. Judging from Chen Jianguo's expression, she knew that his mother knew nothing about her.
If he were to treat his family to a wedding, which was a fight with the Li family next door, then if his mother knew about this, she would probably dislike him even more.
"Mom, that's a relative of Peran's. Her customs are different from ours. When a girl from Xiangyang Village marries, she invites neighbors."
Yes, yes, yes, that's it, those are folks. "If I'm busy with the founding work, I can go back first. As long as I'm there to handle the wine.
Rimperan hastened to agree with Chen Jianguo, although a little far-fetched, but still acceptable.
She took out the list of names that Ringpelin had written down and found that it was written pretty well. The relationships between the relatives were also clearly marked, so it was easy for people to see that she was a very meticulous person.
Fortunately, her junior high school education wasn't too despicable. Otherwise, if her son, whom she was so proud of, were to suffer such grievances, she would definitely destroy him.
"So be it! "I still have things to do in the union. Jianguo, send Peran back as soon as possible."
Chen Niang was too lazy to care about matters concerning Lin Peran's family. She knew a little about the poor relatives of Lin Xiumei's family. She would not do anything to them if she could avoid dealing with them.
Since she couldn't change her son's determination to marry a wife without any status or support, then she could only look away.
What Mrs. Chen said before she left was to let Chen Jianguo send Lin Pilan back. Lin Pailan had been hoping for it. She picked up the backpack hanging at the entrance and gestured for Chen Jianguo to leave.
"It's still early, why don't you stay for a while." Chen Jianguo helplessly said as he looked at Lin Pilan, who was obviously frightened by his mother.
"No need. If you don't have time, I'll take a ride home. "
"Don't. If you want to go back, I'll send you. If you go home by yourself, I won't feel at ease either. "
Chen Jianguo was excited by Lin Peilan's eagerness to leave earlier. The days were still too short, so she didn't feel a sense of belonging.
When they got into the car and were about to leave, Lin Pilan saw Mrs. Chen standing in front of the store. Aunt Liu was pointing fingers and talking about something, but the car soon passed by.
"Will that Auntie Liu tell Auntie about paying for the presents?"
Having previously been reminded by Chen Jianguo, Lin Pilan now unconsciously paid more attention to her actions.
"It doesn't matter even if I know. My mom isn't the kind of person who would fuss over nothing with others."
Chen Jianguo was afraid that Rimpland would not dare to tell the truth. He regretted that he should have bought the gift outside before returning home.
Meanwhile, Auntie Liu, who was in the small shop outside the car, was happily telling her mother about how Chen Jianguo and Lin Pilan went to buy things from her.
He magnified the pitiful interaction between Chen Jianguo and Lin Pei-lan countless times over in front of his mother.
Even before arriving, he was still incomparably envious of Chen Jianguo. Chen Jianguo had good vision. That lady was so lively and gentle, a lady from a noble family. He had found her well.
Chen's mother told her that she was not interested in who would pay for it, but it was the fact that she was embarrassed by the fact that she was trying to find out who Lin Pailan was.
He couldn't possibly say that he had chosen the son of a rich and well-off daughter-in-law out of thousands of people, and his son had gone to the backwater to find a carpenter's daughter out there in the heat of the moment, right?
She had been strong for decades, was also the director of the Women's Union, and had a strong working ability. The neighbors all respected her, and now that she had a son who had returned from studying abroad, they were all envious of her.
It would be a slap in the face if she told him about her background. Although it had always been her job to motivate everyone to be equal, regardless of class, it would still feel good if it really happened to her. In short, Chen's mother couldn't tell him about her identity as a country girl.
"Isn't it about freedom of marriage and love? As parents, we don't have to worry about our children. We don't have a long life ahead of us, and only with someone willing to stay by our side will we be happy. " Mrs Chen's smile was as gentle as ever, and no one could see the turmoil in her heart.
"As expected of our chief executive. He is a model for everyone to study. He is really open-minded."
"This is a great benefit of reform and opening up. We would like to thank the motherland and the Party."
Chen said this without missing a single word. She did not mention Lin's background, but also used this opportunity to publicize the work of free marriage and autonomy.
Naturally, she was praised by everyone again. With a face full of smiles and a heart full of worries, she forced herself to put on airs and returned to the women's union in the department to go to work.
It was nearly an hour's drive from the county town to town, and he woke up early today. After his initial worries, Rinperan fell asleep by the window.
Looking at the totally unguarded Lin Peran, whose face was as white as an egg, and whose lips were red and teeth were tender and tender, this was simply a crime!
Chen Jianguo's heart, which had been calm for more than 20 years, had been getting a bit upset over the past few days.
Fortunately, they were now husband and wife. It wouldn't be a bad thing if Lin Pailan went out with someone else in her ignorance. Chen Jianguo's male chauvinism had exploded.
