117. Chapter 117 Visiting son-in-law

"Ah~~~" A middle-aged man sighed in a very simple rental house on the edge of Jianhu.

Dim lights in the interior.

"You said you don't want to have a good job as a policeman, and you don't want to resign and discuss with us. You have offended the people in the police station!" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Ling, a girl sitting opposite him and cursed in anger.

Xu Ling lowered his head and sat there without saying anything.

The woman sitting next to the middle-aged man put a basket in front of her and picked up vegetables. Looking at Xu Ling, she also rolled her eyes.

They are Xu Ling's parents. In the eyes of his hometown, he is undoubtedly promising. But in fact, he is not so glorious. He is just a vegetable market to buy vegetables in the city.

Selling vegetables in the vegetable market, the work was dirty and tiring, and I got up early and went to bed late, but the money I earned was pretty good. Xu Ling's father, Xu Erniu, sold vegetables more than 20 years ago. There was no competition at that time, and the business was good from the beginning.

With his active mind, he has taken root in the city.

However, in the past few years, the vegetable sales business was not easy to do. There were constant inspections from each department. Every time, I needed to stuff a lot of money, so it seemed that I would make a lot of money every year, but I didn’t get that much.

If you don’t pay all kinds of miscellaneous fees, you have to hand over the stall. You are not allowed to sell vegetables here.

Therefore, Xu Erniu insisted on sending Xu Ling to the police academy and becoming a policeman in the future. At that time, their business will be much easier.

But who would have thought that Xu Ling resigned quietly and offended people. These days, people have been making trouble. Either the managers of the vegetable market or the urban management police, there is no way to do business!

"We worked hard to raise you, but you wolf cub don't know how to repay you, and you dragged us into the water with you!" Xu Ling's mother stared at her eyes, stretched out her hand directly, and pinched Xu Ling's arm.

Xu Ling lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Your brother is seventeen years old. Now you have ruined our jobs. How do you let our family live?" Xu Ling's mother Liu Zhihua cursed sharply.

"Mom, I can make money by myself! I will help you earn money to support your family at that time!" Xu Ling said aggrievedly.

"How much money can you make? We both worked hard for so many years and finally saved some money. Your brother wants to go to school and needs a house in the future. You have offended people now, what do you want us to do? What do you want your brother to do?" Xu Ling's mother was so sarcastic.

"Okay, stop talking!" Xu Erniu frowned and smoked his cigarette.

"Erya, the whole family is counting on the money selling vegetables to support the whole family! Now, people are making trouble every day. Not to mention making money these days, they just lose money!"

"I said, isn't Wang Kai from your police team always interested in you? Their family still runs a bank, has money, power and status. If you marry him, we will have nothing to do. At that time, we will get more gifts from their family, and maybe your brother's house will be settled."

"Mom~~~~" Xu Ling looked at her mother unwillingly. She couldn't accept this kind of deal with her major life events.

"What?" Liu Zhihua looked at her daughter very sarcastically. "Is it easy for us to raise you so big? Is it wrong to let you repay us now?"

"Then I can make money to repay you!" Xu Ling's eyes were filled with tears. In this family, she had experienced the four words of favoring boys over girls since she was a child. Especially her mother Liu Zhihua, in her heart, she was just like their tools for making money, and raised so much, just to marry a rich man and let them live a good life with their younger brother.

"You?" Liu Zhihua raised her eyebrows in her left eye and sneered, "Do you think it's so easy to make money? I think that Wang Kai is good. If you marry him, you will be happy, and we will follow you to have food and clothing!"

"I don't want to!" Xu Ling firmly opposed.

"Then you are unfilial!" Liu Zhihua scolded in a sharp voice. "Some words are unpleasant, but they are the truth. What's the use of having a daughter? Isn't it just to expect to marry a rich man and make some money for his parents' family? If you look down on Wang Kai, that's fine. I don't care what kind of man you go to find, as long as you can satisfy our 500,000 yuan bride price."

"Dad, look at mom, is she raising a daughter or selling her daughter!" Xu Ling cried in anger.

"Zhihua..." Xu Erniu couldn't listen. This was not something that a mother said.

"You're not a big deal!" Liu Zhihua was also domineering to her husband. "Xu Erniu, don't forget that you are just a son-in-law of our Liu family. What qualifications do you have to point to me? You were a rural guy from a poor mountain village. If you hadn't been to our Liu family as a son-in-law, you would have gone to farm in the poor mountain valley now!"

Xu Erniu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his wife, but he couldn't say anything. Indeed, he was just the son-in-law of the Liu family and had no status in the Liu family. It is said that the more backward and poor the place, the more boyish the girl is. However, the Liu family, who claims to be a city, prefers boys to girls more than their mountain village. At the beginning, when Xu Ling was born, the Liu family was disliked, and even her mother Liu Zhihua wanted to throw her in the hospital. It was Xu Erniu who insisted that she kept her. The granddaughter, whom the Liu family didn't like, finally followed her father's surname and was sent back to her hometown when she was just over the month. Except for her father, no one here liked her.

A few years later, a younger brother was added. The whole Liu family regarded it as a treasure. This younger brother naturally followed his mother's surname. Who told her father to be a son-in-law?

"Damn girl, I'm leaving you here today. We worked hard to provide you with food and drink, and you have been in school for so many years. Isn't it too much to ask you to give us 500,000?" Liu Zhihua became more and more excited.

"Enough!" Xu Erniu's lips trembled and he slapped the table suddenly. "Liu Zhihua, do you see if you look a little like a mother?"

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Zhihua put her hands on her hips and stared at Xu Erniu with a stern look. "I gave birth to her. Am I too demanding this? Also, Xu Erniu, who do you show me? You must always remember that you are the son-in-law of our Liu family. All you eat and live in is from my Liu family!"

Xu Ling ran out crying. Such a mother made her sad and desperate.
