Rebirth as an official

"Auntie, I'm going to stay here for a few days. If you have time, Zhai Bei and I will accompany you around." Li An decided to find a topic to talk about.

"I came here to accompany Beibei's father to worship his ancestors. He will go back tomorrow." Zhai Beibei's mother continued the conversation.

"That's a pity. Next time you are free, I will accompany you to see the scenery." Li An gritted his teeth and continued.

"Beibei's father and I have been staying in Linjiang for more than ten years, and the surrounding area is not interesting anymore." Zhai Bei's mother shook her head.

"Let's wait until next time. It's a long vacation. Zhai Bei and I will accompany you to the beach." Although Li An said with a smile, his expression was a little uncomfortable.

"No, I'm getting older and can't walk anymore. I just want to stay at home." Zhai Beibei's mother's words can still make a person angry to death.

Li An was going crazy in his heart, thinking that his future mother-in-law was the topic stopper, so how could he answer the question?

Zhai Bei also saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she picked up the justice cup and gave her mother some tea, and then said, "Mom, Li An is very kind."

Seeing that her daughter was a little angry, Zhai Bei's mother said to Li An with a smile: "Xiao Li, you and Zhai Bei are friends. I have no objection."

"Thank you, Auntie, for your support." Li An quickly stood up and said.

"However, Auntie thinks that you have just started working and are mainly focusing on your career. I saw this sentence in a book two days ago and thought it was very good, so I gave it to you." Zhai Bei's mother said.

"Auntie, please tell me."

"Establishing a career is the root, starting a family is the leaves, the roots are deep and the leaves are solid. Building a career is the water, starting a family is the canal, and when the water comes, it will be successful. Do you understand the meaning of this?" Although Zhai Bei's mother said it very plainly, Li An But I can feel the meaning of this sentence.

Zhai Beibei's mother finally understood the purpose of meeting him today.

Although she didn't say a word that she objected to their being together, there was a hint of contempt in her words.

This means that she feels that she is not worthy of her daughter, and she should be dissatisfied with herself.

If it were anyone else, Li An would definitely quote the classics, which would leave her speechless. However, since this is the future mother-in-law, she can only give in.

Now that my mother-in-law doesn't like me, it's because I'm not strong enough, but fortunately, she didn't say anything to death, so there is still a chance.

Li An nodded and said respectfully: "Auntie is right, I think so too, start a career first and then start a family, and then consider other things after you have a certain career."

"Yes." Zhai Bei's mother just nodded and suddenly said to Zhai Bei: "Beibei, go downstairs and order me some sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

As soon as Li An heard this, he knew that Zhai Bei's mother meant to talk to him alone.

Zhai Bei also saw her mother's intention, nodded and left the room.

At this time, Li An and Zhai Bei's mother were the only ones left in the room. Her expression suddenly changed and she became fierce.

"Xiao Li, I only have a daughter, Beibei. I have raised her like a little princess since she was a child. Although she is not well-dressed and well-fed, she has not suffered at all. Her father and I are getting older now, so we just want our daughter to be by our side." Zhai Bei's mother picked up the teacup and took a sip, while talking to herself.

"I can understand this. Parents want their children to be with them." Li An nodded in agreement.

"You are now a cadre stationed in the village and have always worked in the countryside. If Beibei is with you in the future, she will have to accompany you to suffer in the countryside. This is not what I want to see." Ye Lanyun added.

"Auntie, my stay in the countryside is just a transition. I will be able to return to the city in two years. Don't worry, I won't let Zhai Bei suffer." Li An said very sincerely.

However, his heart sank because he knew that what he said was in vain. Zhai Bei's mother had other intentions.

"Then can you be transferred to the provincial capital in two years?" Zhai Bei's mother asked.

"That's not possible, but I think it should be possible in the city." Li An answered truthfully.

"You don't understand what Auntie means. I think you should let go for Zhai Bei's own good." Ye Lanyun simply made her words clear.

Li An didn't speak. He looked down at the teacup on the table and began to think about how to deal with it.

"Xiao Li, Auntie can see that you are affectionate and responsible. I also hope you can understand Auntie's difficulties. That parent does not want their children to be well. You also know the environment and conditions in the provincial capital, so let Beibei follow you. As a mother, I would definitely not agree to go to the countryside and suffer." Zhai Bei's mother spoke very skillfully and knew how to use the principle of empathy.

But it was a pity that he met the old fox Li An. Li An shook his head and said: "Auntie u, I don't agree with your statement. What does it mean to complain about suffering? I think it is suffering when lovers cannot be together. The environment can be changed, but two people who love each other can't be together. If we can't be together, we will suffer for the rest of our lives. You and your uncle love each other so much, so you must understand my feelings."

Li An quietly taught Zhai Bei's mother the principles of empathy.

Zhai Beibei's mother felt a little troubled when she saw Li An was unmoved, and her face became unhappy.

"Xiao Li, you are still young. Love cannot be eaten as bread. I know best what my daughter is like. She is just carried away by feelings now. When you are together, she will definitely not be able to accept the daily necessities of life." Zhai Bei's mother said coldly.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will make Beibei happy and I will take good care of her life." Li An said insistently.

"In this case, I simply let it go. Now there is a boy in the provincial capital who has been pursuing my Beibei. The boy's conditions are very good. His father is the deputy director of the Department of Land and Resources. I think they are more suitable. You understand me. That’s what I mean.”

These words were like a bolt of lightning exploding in Li An's heart. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhai Bei's mother. His kind expression just now became bone-chilling, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife and made people hair-raising.

"That's it, that's it." Li An's anger surged. It turned out that you were the instigator of the tragic life of his sweetheart.

Li An suppressed his anger and lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, you broke the truth today. I will not break up with Zhai Bei unless your daughter doesn't want to be with me."

"You!" Zhai Bei's mother was choked by Li An's words and was speechless.

"Mom, I will not break up with Li An, nor will I be with Director Xue's son." Zhai Bei suddenly walked into the room at this time and said loudly.

In fact, she had been standing outside for a long time. When she knew that her mother had talked about the director's son, she ran in, fearing that her sweetheart would misunderstand.

"Beibei, what do you know?" Ye Li Yunlan was caught off guard by her daughter's sudden entry into the room.

"Auntie, thank you for the tea today. I have some things to do so I'll leave first." Li An decided to withdraw.

He knew that the current matter would not be fruitful. The core interests of him and Zhai Beibei's mother were in conflict. It was impossible for both parties to compromise. If they continued to talk, they would only break up.

Before Ye Yunlan could react, Li An had already walked out of the room.

As soon as she left the room, she heard Ye Yunlan's stern voice.

"Beibei, stop here, don't go."

"I don't." I heard my sweetheart's crying voice and the sound of hurried footsteps.

The box door was pushed open with a bang. Li An looked at Zhai Bei running out with some surprise, then took his hand and quickly went downstairs.

The two of them walked on the street, Zhai Bei cuddled up against Li An, and walked quietly like this. .
