After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 787 Disrespecting Parents

His voice became quieter and quieter.

Ye Lian and Lin Dawei were both stunned on the spot.

After a moment, Lin Ping whispered again, "I told her that my family is from the countryside and is very poor. After she came to our house today, she found that we are not that poor, so she thinks... you definitely won't agree."

Now that things have been said, they naturally understand.

Ye Lian slapped her thigh and said, "Didn't you tell her that this is your older brother's house, and the big villa in front is your sister's house?"

“I told them I have nothing. But people think that since my older brother and sister are capable, they will definitely help me in the future, since my family has so many connections…”

"What connections do my family have? We're just farmers. And that's why the girl doesn't want us?"

"No, I mean I want to discuss this with you first."

Ye Lian: "What's there to discuss? If you can't get over it, just consider the child as having my surname."

Lin Ping looked at Lin Dawei.

Ye Lian followed his gaze and glared at Lin Dawei, "You have a problem with that? All three children have your surname, and your eldest grandson has your surname too, what's wrong with that?"

Lin Dawei hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I have no objection. This is fine. What era are we living in? We don't allow children to have to take a certain surname."

"Exactly, if you have a daughter in the future, does that mean she can't get married? Honestly, what do you think she is? You're even more feudal than us."

Lin Ping's eyes flashed. "So you've agreed?"

"Agreed. You've dedicated yourself to the country. We won't object if you never get married."

Lin Ping never expected them to be so open-minded.

He let out a long sigh of relief. "That's great. I'll talk to him about it and arrange a time for our two families to have a meal together."

what?

Ye Lian: "Isn't this... a bit too fast?"

Lin Ping: "Mother, you're not going to go back on your word, are you? You were just lying to me?"

Ye Lian: "..."

"Sigh!" Lin Ping sighed and said, "You should think about me too. It's fine for me to live at my older brother's house now that I'm not married, but when I get married, I can't exactly live at my older brother's house with my wife, can I? I might as well go to my wife's house and become a live-in son-in-law."

Ye Lian tapped him on the head, "What are you saying? Who's complaining about you?"

Lin Dawei: "It's not that we're backing out, it's just that it's too fast. We just met the girl today, and we're going to meet her parents in a few days. We're not prepared at all."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about meeting now, let's talk about it later."

After Lin Yuyao got off work, Ye Lian rushed to tell her the good news.

"Lin Ping brought his girlfriend home, the girl who went abroad with him. She's a local, and I heard her parents are both researchers."

Lin Yuyao was surprised, "Really? Then Lin Ping is really marrying above his station. His parents are both researchers; they're not an ordinary family."

"That's right. If their family didn't need a son to carry on the family line, why would they even consider your brother?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Is Lin Ping going to live with someone's family as a son-in-law?"

"Yes, that's really a lucky break for the kid," Ye Lian said happily.

“Mother, it’s wonderful that you think this way. The girl comes from a highly educated family, and her parents are knowledgeable. Lin Ping can learn a lot from them, which will be beneficial for him.”

Ye Lian nodded, then suddenly sighed.

"Him..." He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What?"

“He said that the house belonged to his older brother. It was fine for him to live at his older brother’s house when he was unmarried, but he couldn’t bring his wife to live at his older brother’s house after he got married. He didn’t have the money to buy a house, and he didn’t know when his work unit would allocate a house. He might as well become a live-in son-in-law. When I heard him say that, I felt both amused and saddened.”

Lin Yuyao said, "Mother, Lin Ping is getting married, and I can help him with the house issue."

Ye Lian shook her head. "No, don't let Lin Ping's appearance fool you. He has a strong sense of self-respect. Back when Lu Jiangting got into university, people said our whole family were peasants and that you weren't good enough for Lu Jiangting. After hearing that, he immediately started working hard and was determined to get into a good university to support you."

Lin Yuyao naturally knew about these things as well.

Ye Lian added, "He'll accept pocket money if you give him it, but he definitely won't accept a house if you try to buy him one."

Lin Yuyao lowered her head; of course she understood.

Lin Ping is actually very much like his mother; he is stubborn and has a strong sense of self-respect.

I'll accept a few gifts occasionally, and a little money during holidays, but I'll never take anything more.

……

After receiving their diplomas, the two of them entered Fu Huaiyi's research institute together.

Lin Yuyao asked Fu Huaiyi about Lin Ping, and Fu Huaiyi said, "Their research direction is slightly different from ours, and they don't share an office with us."

"It shouldn't be too far, right?"

"They're not far; they live upstairs from us."

"That's great, I'll leave my brother in your care."

Fu Huaiyi smiled faintly and said, "Don't treat him like a child. He's a grown man; he can take care of himself."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "That's true."

"By the way, did he tell you he wanted to stay in the dormitory?"

"No, I've only seen him once in all the days he's been back. It's not far from here to his workplace, so why is he still staying in the dormitory?"

Fu Huaiyi said, "Maybe they find it inconvenient."

Lin Ping genuinely felt that he couldn't stay at his older brother's house for an extended period, so he decided to move to the dormitory, citing the inconvenience of traveling back and forth.

Ye Lian and the others tried to persuade him a few times but failed, so they just let him be.

Lin Yuyao told Fu Huaiyi about Lin Ping's plan to become a live-in son-in-law and also explained his predicament.

“He was originally the most successful of the three children in our family. My older brother and I no longer had to worry about money. I never expected him to be in such dire straits.”

Fu Huaiyi was more insightful than Lin Yuyao.

"Don't worry about being embarrassed. Lin Ping doesn't need these things. He's not on the same path as you and your older brother. They'll understand in the future that for them, the goal of life isn't really money. I think it's great that the young couple are like-minded and pursue things that are more meaningful than money."

After he comforted her, Lin Yuyao felt a little better.

For an ordinary person like her to understand things on a higher level, she needs guidance from others.

The same must be true for Fu Huaiyi.

If Fu Huaiyi wanted to make money, he wouldn't be any worse than her.

……

A few days later, Yi Yunshuo returned and came to find Fu Huaiyi, secretly pulling him aside.

Fu Huaiyi impatiently pushed him away, "Let go, what kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging like that?"

"Oh dear, I'm so heavy."

"What?"

He unfolded a cloth bag, which was full of money.

Fu Huaiyi was taken aback. "I sent you back to visit your family, but you went and became a thief instead?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my money."
