Chapter 260: Isn’t It Only Right That She Takes Care Of My Mom?
Song Jianfeng’s face had completely darkened.
Actually, he was still too young, without much depth, and couldn’t hold back words in his heart.
Song Jianfeng was twenty-three years old this year.
He was a very young young man.
Lu Qiaoge felt that if this person were thirty-three now, he would probably have learned to control his emotions.
Especially in a place like this.
Unfortunately, the twenty-three-year-old Song Jianfeng failed to control himself.
He glared with his eyeballs, staring dead at Shi Xiangqin: “No, you can’t go to night school to study, we’re getting married soon, and after marriage if you still go to study, what about home?”
Shi Xiangqin was clearly still a bit shy, but she was more confused, asking in a soft voice: “Home, what’s wrong with home?”
This was the general office, and it suddenly became quiet.
But these elder sisters and older brothers naturally understood.
Lu Qiaoge also understood, but she didn’t speak.
She still sat there, silently fiddling with the fountain pen, as if the fountain pen was broken and couldn’t be fixed.
Song Jianfeng said somewhat excitedly: “After marriage, you will be my wife, how can you still go to night school to study? Who will take care of my mom, who will do housework, who will wash her feet and give her massage at night?”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qiaoge wanted to kick him out.
Oh, you marry a wife just to take care of your mom, wash her feet, and give her massage?
Young man, isn’t that a bit too arrogant and shameless?
Shi Xiangqin seemed frightened, asking blankly: “I… why should I wash your mom’s feet and give her massage?”
Song Jianfeng irritably grabbed a handful of his hair, growling: “You know my dad passed away early, my mom raised me alone, it wasn’t easy, she sacrificed so much for me, so I think after I get married and marry a wife, I have to be filial to her, let my mom live good days, I can’t let her do housework or cook, her health isn’t good, her legs and feet are inconvenient, at night someone has to wash her feet and give her massage, I want my mom to know that this son she didn’t raise in vain, let her enjoy blessings.”
“You still want to go to night school every day to study, what a joke, that’s impossible, I don’t agree, yesterday was just to let you join in the fun, from today on, you can’t go to night school, didn’t I give you a book? Study it well on how to take care of the elderly, this is all what you should do.”
Shi Xiangqin was frightened, her face pale white, her whole body trembling imperceptibly.
At this moment, her eyes were also red, probably she never thought Song Jianfeng would lose temper at her.
The general office was very quiet, everyone was looking at Song Jianfeng.
Song Jianfeng felt something was off too. But he didn’t take it to heart, instead gritting his teeth and saying: “Why is everyone looking at me like this, is what I said wrong? Marry a wife to come in and take care of mother-in-law, isn’t every family like this? Why is she special?
I’m the son, sometimes it’s inconvenient for me to take care of my mom, so my wife has to do it, if she doesn’t, who will? We’re a family, my mom is also her mom, isn’t it right for her to be filial to my mom!
Should she go to night school every day, and instead have my mom take care of her? My mom is that old, her health isn’t good, it was already hard raising me, and in old age still have to serve my wife. Shouldn’t I die?”
Sister Hua frowned, stopping Song Jianfeng’s long rant, without refuting his words: “You’re here to register marriage, so what does this mean now?”
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Sister Hua, probably Sister Hua also knew this theory was wrong, but in this era, this theory seemed not wrong.
Not saying every family is like this, but almost.
Once a wife is married in, she definitely has to cook, do housework, serve father-in-law and mother-in-law, if living together.
Of course, that also includes serving the husband.
Not talking about other families, in her family, sister-in-law Su Hui also does housework and cooks.
Mom Meng Xia is also a daughter-in-law, but she also often washes clothes and bathes grandmother, takes care of her.
Lu Da and Lu Zhiguo also cook, but very rarely.
Only in the Lu Family, the mother-in-law also does it, it’s mutual, so it doesn’t look awkward.
So Sister Hua not refuting Song Jianfeng’s words was actually fine.
But Lu Qiaoge wasn’t prepared to issue their marriage certificate for them.
At least not temporarily.
After all, with such obvious differences, if she just issues it and stamps it, she would definitely harm Shi Xiangqin.
Lu Qiaoge put the marriage certificate aside, directly asking Song Jianfeng: “I won’t talk about other things, I just say about going to night school to study, currently there are nearly a thousand students, among them 260 married males, 210 married females, so how do you explain?”
She wouldn’t give Song Jianfeng the chance to rant, or she couldn’t help but kick him.
Lu Qiaoge continued: “I’m the mediator, you plan to register marriage, but now there’s a disagreement, Song Jianfeng your meaning is after marriage, your wife has to serve your mom and take care of home, but Shi Xiangqin wants to continue studying, how about this, I’ll mediate for you.”
Lu Qiaoge pulled Shi Xiangqin over, let her sit on a chair on the side, quietly using her own energy to soothe her emotions.
There is no perfect person in the world.
Even living to sixty, looking back, one will find that even with rich life experience, one still makes mistakes and says wrong things.
Shi Xiangqin, a twenty-year-old young woman, with almost no life experience, encountering such a thing, being at a loss is normal, being PUA’d by Song Jianfeng is also possible.
Of course, there are clear-headed young women, but strangely, such young women rarely encounter such messed-up people and things.
If Shi Xiangqin understood everything, Lu Qiaoge wouldn’t intervene.
After all, marriage and love are things known only to those involved.
Lu Qiaoge’s voice was gentle yet firm: “Comrade Shi Xiangqin, you going to night school for remedial study is correct, the high school graduation certificate is not just a piece of paper, it’s a key to open countless opportunities.”
Lu Qiaoge leaned forward slightly, gaze intense: “You should also know, on the recruitment form, filling high school vs primary school in the education column, fate could be worlds apart.”
“Even going to textile factory as a female worker, high school graduates can prioritize quality inspection post, no need to ruin eyes in front of spinning machines.”
Lu Qiaoge’s voice lowered, but word by word: “Look at our military factory, positions with culture and without are different, so this graduation certificate is your future confidence!”
Song Jianfeng was about to explode with anger, roaring: “Lu Qiaoge, you’re not having good intentions!”
Lu Qiaoge suddenly stood up, slapped the table and questioned: “Song Jianfeng, tell me, which sentence of mine lacks good intentions?”
Song Jianfeng: ……
His mouth opened and closed, yeah, which sentence lacked good intentions, actually he just said that.
But none lacked good intentions, yet he also knew he couldn’t say that.
