Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Who would mention the price of a gift when giving it to someone? Isn't that obviously looking down on others? If it weren't for Grandma Wu's sake, Meng Xiaoman really wanted to throw the thing in her face.

Grandma Wu also felt it, glared at her daughter and tried to ease the atmosphere.

"He Hua, He Tian, ​​and Xiao Man are also in business. You can talk about business."

He Hua didn't want to come to Hai City at first. He was doing foreign trade business in Hong Kong and was very busy every day. If his mother hadn't said that she wanted to come back to visit his father's grave, he wouldn't have wanted to waste his time.

"Mom, it's not just setting up a street stall or opening a tailor shop to do business. What I'm doing is big business, and they may not understand even if I tell them." He Hua said.

He knew from his mother that Xiao Xiangdong was a soldier and Meng Xiaoman ran a tailor shop. They were not on the same level as bosses like him.

He Tian also agreed, "Yes, Mom, my brother's business is worth tens of thousands of dollars. I know she helped you. Didn't you let her family live in our house for a few years?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I let Xiaoman live in the house, and she paid the rent." Grandma Wu said coldly.

He Tian curled his lips and said, "Mom, please stop protecting her. With such a small rent and living in such a big house, why is she always taking advantage?"

Moreover, he has lived here for several years and has not mentioned moving out, so he is probably determined to stay here.

Meng Xiaoman didn't reply to her, but looked at Grandma Wu coldly: "Grandma Wu, tell me, did I take advantage of you?"

Grandma Wu understood that on the surface, the rent Meng Xiaoman paid was not much, but Meng Xiaoman paid for her daily food and other living expenses, and she also took care of the household affairs. In addition, she would make two sets of clothes for her every season.

In addition to these material things, the emotional companionship and filial piety are not inferior to those of his children.

But she couldn't say this directly in front of her own children.

Grandma Wu glared at her daughter and said softly, "Speaking of which, I should say that I took advantage of you. If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't have been able to get the house back. When we lived together, you took care of me, an old lady, in every way."

"Then you can live in this house peacefully for now..."

"Mom!" He Hua suddenly interrupted her, "Didn't you agree to sell the house and live in Hong Kong with us?"

"But this house is our old home after all. If I sell it like this, I'm afraid your dad will blame me."

He Tian advised quietly, "Mom, Dad won't blame you. You were guarding the house just to wait for us to come back, right? Now we are back. The mission of this house is considered accomplished. Besides, my brother and I are both in Hong Kong, and we are worried about leaving a house here. If you can't bear to part with it, we can buy a similar one when we return to Hong Kong."

Grandma Wu nodded, thinking that what she said made sense. She didn't have many years left to live, and after she died, the house would have to be sold.

Seeing her nod, He Hua felt that he could confidently ask Meng Xiaoman and the others to move out.

He cleared his throat and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Meng Xiaoman.

"Grandma Wu, since we're talking about the house, we have to tell you something too. Xiangdong and I have already bought a house and renovated it. We were planning to move in during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. When you visited us, you asked me to help look after the house. Now that you're back, it's just the right time to hand it over to you."

Meng Xiaoman didn't tell anyone about her home purchase except her closest relatives and Jiang Ruolin.

Grandma Wu doesn’t know either.

"Really? That's great." She always thought Meng Xiaoman was a capable person.

"Really? It's right there on Minghua Road. It's already been renovated. We plan to move there during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Grandma Wu was very happy for them. "That's a good place. If I hadn't left yet, I would go to your house and warm your house for you."

He Hua looked unconvinced. He knew Minghua Road. It was a villa area, and it was not something a small tailor could afford. This man was obviously lying.

His mother must have been deceived many times in the past. Even when she was injured in the foot, he felt that the two men were deliberately getting close to each other because they saw that his mother was alone and living in a big house.

Thinking of this, my words became more sarcastic.

"Houses there are not cheap, right? No wonder they say business in Hai City is so good now. Even a tailor can afford a villa."

"It's okay. The main reason is that Xiaoman is smart. Not everyone can do it. Someone like you definitely can't do it. You probably can't even afford a toilet." Xiao Xiangdong said coldly.

Just now, when Xiao Xiangdong refused to drink, He Hua was a little angry. Now he said this again, which made him even more embarrassed.

"How can you talk like that? Mom, look, this is the good person, the dear one you mentioned! I..."

"He Hua, shut up!" Grandma Wu yelled. "You can do business and make money, but Xiaoman can't. Have you forgotten what your father taught you? Don't look down on others, and don't think too highly of yourself."

Since the reunion, He Tian had never seen her get angry, and was a little scared at the moment. "Mom, big brother was just expressing his feelings, and he didn't mean to look down on others."

As he said this, he winked at He Hua.

"Mom, blame me for not knowing how to speak. I didn't mean any other thing. Wait a couple of days, and I'll go with you to apologize to her, okay?"

Let’s see where they can get a villa from.

"Mom, you know that my eldest brother is always not good at talking. Xiaoman, you won't take it to heart, right?"

How could such a kind person like Grandma Wu give birth to two such cunning people? However, it was not easy for them to get together, and for the sake of Grandma Wu, Meng Xiaoman didn't want to make it too embarrassing.

"I won't take it to heart, but I hope that Brother He can be smarter next time he speaks. After all, people who are not good at speaking are easily misunderstood when discussing business, which will ruin the business cooperation. I am also doing this for Brother He's good, Brother He won't blame me, right?"

He Hua's face looked grim, but seeing that his mother was still angry, he could only say, "How could that be? You have good intentions."

Because of this incident, I had no taste for the food that followed.

All the things in the house were packed up. Xiao Xiangdong found a car and moved everything in one day. The next day, he handed the key to the house to Grandma Wu.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Hua took his mother and sister to Meng Xiaoman's house.

Grandma Wu said, "Xiaoman just moved, so she must be very busy. Why don't we wait a few days before going?"

He Hua couldn't wait to expose Meng Xiaoman's lies, "How big can her house be? Isn't two days enough to clean it up?"

"That's right. Didn't she invite us to the greenhouse? I even went to the department store to buy some snacks." He Tian said.

Thinking that she would be returning to Hong Kong with her children soon, and that they would see each other less and less in the future, she said, "Okay, but you two can't be so outspoken like you were last time."

"I know, I know."

The three of them came to a large iron gate.

He Hua looked at the huge garden and asked, "Mom, did you remember the wrong address?"

Grandma Wu glanced at the note in her hand and said, "No, look at the house number, it's the same."

"Impossible, this villa is so big, how can they afford it?"

"That's right. I must have given you a wrong address on purpose."

As they were talking, they looked up and saw Xiao Xiangdong walking towards them. He Hua and the other man stood there awkwardly for a moment.
