Chapter 147: Guan's mother's evaluation of Zhou Chen: good sons-in-law are snatched away
At the dinner table, Zhou Chen showed his shamelessness to the extreme. He said a lot of nice things with the sole purpose of making his mother-in-law happy.
Zhou Chen made many promises just to prove to his mother-in-law that he would treat Guan Juer well in the future.
For example, in the future, when Guan Juer works overtime, he will pick her up and drop her off, and will never let Guan Juer suffer any grievances. He will also supervise her to get enough rest.
For example, I am a good cook, so it doesn’t matter if Guan Juer can’t cook, they can do the housework together.
You should be considerate of each other in daily interactions, never lose your temper with Guan Juer, and give in to Guan Juer when necessary.
In short, the two of them were chatting happily, completely treating Guan's father and Guan Juer as outsiders. It was like two socialites getting together to chat.
They exchanged experiences in their lives as a couple and how to resolve conflicts. Zhou Chen kept a low profile and looked like he was learning.
By the time she was sending them to the station after dinner, Guan's mother was already wishing that Zhou Chen and Guan Juer would get married sooner. Where could she find someone like Zhou Chen who could make money and knew how to care for his daughter?
As a mother-in-law, the more Guan's mother looked at Zhou Chen, the more satisfied she became. She knew her daughter too well. She had a weak personality and was not good at fighting. It was rare for her to meet a man who was willing to hold her daughter in his hands. Of course, she didn't want to give up.
Seeing that the two of them were talking further and further away, Guan Juer quickly interrupted and said, "I have no objection to you praising Zhou Chen, but you can't describe me as if no one wants me."
"Mom, Zhou Chen and I haven't known each other for long. We're still getting to know each other, so why are you talking about marriage and having children? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Haha, Guan Juer believed that if they continued talking, they would probably talk about the bride price directly. Maybe her mother would say that she didn’t want the bride price, but the dowry would definitely not be small, and their family was always preparing it.
"Girl, can't you just calm down and listen carefully? What I said to Zhou Chen is all based on my experience. When have your father and I ever had a fight?
A couple's life is about mutual respect and understanding. I'm telling you, don't let your temper get the better of you. Just because Zhou Chen has a good temper doesn't mean you can bully him."
Seeing that her mother was still speaking in Zhou Chen's favor, Guan Juer really doubted whether she was your biological daughter?
"Auntie, I understand Guan Guan's temper. She is well-educated and well-mannered, and she would never act unreasonably.
Of course, this is also because of the good education of my uncle and aunt, which is why Guan Guan was raised so well. If there are any conflicts in the future, I will give in to Guan Guan.
A wife is meant to be loved. You can leave Guan Guan to me with confidence. If I lose my temper with Guan Guan, I will be letting you down.
Auntie, we should keep in touch from now on. I will consult you if I have any questions. We are all family, so please don't find me annoying when the time comes."
Hearing Zhou Chen say that they are a family, Guan's mother quickly said: "Don't bother, Zhou Chen is right, we are a family. If Guan Guan gets angry in the future, you call me and I will scold her."
Haha, Zhou Chen nodded, and their relationship became closer along the way.
After seeing off Guan's father and mother, on the way back, Guan Juer looked at Zhou Chen and said sarcastically, "Zhou Chen, how come I didn't realize you're such a good coaxer?
If I let you guys continue talking, I guess you will almost want to call me mom. Look at how you looked just now, you are definitely my mom's lackey.
Humph, I know your character very well. You are full of tricks. You can fool my mother but you can't fool me."
Zhou Chen glanced at her and said, "Guan Guan, I think you are just jealous. You are jealous that my aunt and I have such a good relationship.
As for you calling me a lackey, it's a must-have skill for a son-in-law to appease his mother-in-law. If he doesn't appease her, how could she agree to us being together?"
Although Zhou Chen was telling the truth, Guan Juer was still a little unhappy because lies will always be exposed one day.
Zhou Chen coaxes his mother so well now. If one day she knew about Zhou Chen’s eccentric character, who knows how she would riot.
Haha, Mr. and Mrs. Guan, who were on the high-speed train, were also discussing Zhou Chen’s matter.
"Lao Guan, what do you think of Zhou Chen? You didn't say much at the dinner table just now, and Zhou Chen looked at you several times, thinking you had something against him."
Facing his wife's question, Guan's father muttered: "What do you want me to say? You guys have said all the good things. I can't get a word in. It's a headache when two chatterboxes meet.
Throughout the dinner, I felt that Guan Guan and I were redundant. Hey, isn’t there a saying that a mother-in-law is a hurdle for a son-in-law?
Everyone knows that it's hard to get over the mother-in-law's hurdle, but you've gotten over it too easily. I think you're worried that Zhou Chen won't be able to catch up with my Guan Guan, so you can't wait to bring them together."
When Guan's mother heard this, she rolled her eyes and said that it was difficult to get past the mother-in-law because she had to keep a close eye on her daughter, but she was not an unreasonable person, and of course she would marry her daughter off as soon as possible if she met the right person.
"It's said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting he becomes. I think Zhou Chen is quite interesting. He speaks directly and seems innocent, but when you talk to him, you'll find he's actually quite smart.
Our daughter's character is up to you. She is a taciturn person, so it is just right for her to meet Zhou Chen, a chatterbox. This is called complementary personalities. Isn't this how we have been living all these years?
When I first saw him, I thought he was very handsome, and maybe he had some ulterior motives, but as you get to know him, you'll find that he always puts our family first. Where can you find a son-in-law like him?"
Guan's father wanted to persuade his daughter-in-law who was a little crazy. They had only met Zhou Chen once. Isn't it too early for you to make such an evaluation? Do you really understand Zhou Chen?
"Guan Guan is still young, so some things are not urgent. We should also listen to her opinions more."
Mr. Guan didn't know Zhou Chen very well, and he didn't want to say anything bad about Zhou Chen, so he could only focus the topic on his daughter, hoping that his wife could calm down from her crazy state.
They were an old couple for many years, so of course Mother Guan knew what Father Guan meant, so she immediately retorted, "If we rely on our daughter's slow temper, when will we be able to hold our grandchildren? Don't we know Zhou Chen well enough?
Didn’t I already find out all his details at the dinner table just now?
Zhou Chen owns a house in Shanghai and two cars. The one he drives is a Mercedes-Benz worth more than two million yuan that he bought a few days ago.
I know that Zhou Chen may not be able to afford these with his salary, and most of it is supported by his family, but this is enough to show that Zhou Chen's family conditions are very good.
Zhou Chen’s hometown is still in the imperial capital. Whether he develops in the imperial capital or the magic city in the future, it will be beneficial to Guan Guan.
The material conditions are very good, the family conditions are good, and Zhou Chen is also good to our daughter. What else can you not be satisfied with?
You have to remember that good sons-in-law are snatched away by force. If you are slow, they will be snatched away by others."
Mr. Guan really didn’t know what to say. Is Zhou Chen really that charming?
It only took you one meal to trick your wife into becoming like this. Where is your former wisdom?
Haha, who made Zhou Chen able to hear women's thoughts? He heard his mother-in-law's thoughts at the dinner table and stuffed nice words directly into her heart. What's the difference between this and taking an exam with the correct answers?
