In an ordinary residential building in A City, a commotion was heard. One of the women's crazy roars was unbearable.
"I said no. He'll be a poor soldier if he joins the army. How will he live in the future? How will he support you? What about the house? Where do you live? Do you want to rent a house?" It was a middle-aged woman. She was dressed to the point that she was slightly plump. It was obvious that she had lived a luxurious life.
At this moment, she was holding her waist with one hand and pointing at the young man opposite her with the other as she roared crazily.
The young man lowered his head, his face flushed red. He clenched his fists tightly. While he felt ashamed and angry, he also felt a deep sense of madness!
His name was Li Can, and beside him was his girlfriend, He Shanshan. The two of them had been together for half a year and got along well. Their relationship was stable, so they discussed meeting their parents. Li Can's family was in the countryside, which was quite far from A City. Therefore, after some discussion, they went to He Shanshan's house to meet her parents.
He Shanshan was a city girl. She had been living in a big city all her life and was living a well-off life. Her parents were employees of the company. Although their positions were not very high, they were enough to ensure a pretty good life.
Li Can bought a lot of things, including fruits and tonics. These were not cheap. Even in the city, they were quite good and could be taken out.
The first time he visited, he wanted to leave a good impression on his girlfriend's parents. However, he did not expect her to change her attitude. Her future mother-in-law even sold her a sold well of things. She had no manners at all.
"Mom, how can you say that? He Shanshan wanted to say something, but she lost her confidence.
In fact, that was indeed the case. Being a soldier in China was not very popular. The treatment was not high, and they had to leave their hometown. When they returned from the army, they could not arrange a good job. In many people's eyes, being a soldier was a waste of life. There was no future at all. Compared to the excellent treatment in the city, the difference was too big.
Li Can was furious. The other party could look down on him, but why did he look down on a soldier!
So what if he was a soldier?
Soldiers surrounded the country, sweating blood but not tears!
These rich people and elites of various countries could live so freely. Weren't they relying on the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives on the front lines? Without soldiers guarding the border, how could they live in peace?
He didn't even know how he died!
However, modern people looked down on soldiers!
Lee Can could no longer hold it in. The other party could look down on him. Lee Can knew that he was not an outstanding talent. He did not have a higher education, did not have outstanding skills, and did not have a business mind. But so what if he was a soldier?
"Auntie, soldiers are worthy of our respect for guarding the country. If there were no soldiers guarding the borders, our country would have been attacked by hostile forces long ago!”Li Can argued.
The young man had not been polished by society, so there was passion and passion in his chest. Moreover, Li Can did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Modern people had too many misunderstandings about soldiers. Soldiers were very worthy of respect.
Looking back at history, which battle was not won by the sacrifice of soldiers?
Her future mother-in-law sneered and said sarcastically," Yes, soldiers are indeed worthy of respect. I didn't say that I didn't respect soldiers. Li Can, you want to marry our precious Shanshan, don't you?”
Li Can looked at He Shanshan and nodded.
Although he was young, the custom in the countryside was to get married early. If he hadn't gone to university, he would have gotten married in his hometown long ago, and his children would have been able to do nothing. Now that he had graduated, he had a good relationship with Shanshan. He wanted to confirm their relationship as soon as possible and get married at the right time.
This was what Li Can thought.
However, He Shanshan, who was beside him, remained silent. She didn't even look at Li Can.
Her future mother-in-law continued to ask," In that case, I'll settle the score with you. Your family is from the countryside, so I won't ask for betrothal gifts from you. City A is a big city, so we don't do this anymore.”
Li Can heaved a sigh of relief. The betrothal gift was a huge sum of money. In some places, the betrothal gift could be as much as hundreds of thousands. His family was in the countryside, and his main source of income was farming and farming. Although his parents worked hard and accumulated some property, it was nothing in the city.
She had thought that her mother-in-law was so unreasonable just now, but now it seemed that she was not bad.
Just as Li Can was looking forward to it, his mother-in-law continued," Marriage requires at least a house, right? Otherwise, where are you going to stay when you get married?"
" The average house price in City A is more than 10,000 yuan. It's not considered big. 90 square meters will cost more than 900,000 yuan, which is close to a million yuan. If you add in the renovation and furniture, the various expenses for the wedding, and the jewelry for Shanshan, you're traveling abroad…"
A very long bill came out of his mother-in-law's mouth. Li Can's face darkened as he listened. The first was a very large expenditure. A house worth nearly a million yuan. Where did he get that much money?
As for the rest, there were too many projects. Traveling after marriage? Going abroad?
"Auntie, we have to travel for our wedding? You still want to go abroad?" Li Can couldn't help but ask. He was a little puzzled. After marriage, there was a honeymoon. He knew that people in the city did this. But why did they need to travel for a honeymoon?
Her future mother-in-law asked in surprise," Why don't you go on a trip when you're getting married? Our Shanshan loves to travel abroad. She has always wanted to go to Paris, the Aegean Sea, churches, and so on.”
Li Can looked at He Shanshan, but his girlfriend didn't react at all. She kept her head down and didn't look at him. She seemed to have sensed his gaze and lowered her head even further.
His mother-in-law seemed to want to continue, but Li Can couldn't hold it in any longer. He interrupted her," I'm sorry, Auntie. I still have something to do. I'll leave first."”
After saying that, Li Can turned around and left. He Shanshan raised her head and wanted to follow Li Can out, but she was stopped by her mother.
"He's just a poor soldier from a rural village. Why would he marry a wife? You can't even afford a house!" Her future mother-in-law continued to mock her," Shanshan, don't even think about this kind of soldier in the future. Why are you marrying him? Drinking the northwest wind? How are we going to live?"
"I've already talked to your Auntie Li. I'll introduce you to someone who works in a bank. I heard that she graduated with a PhD from a famous university overseas. Her family background is very good.”
He Shanshan trembled slightly and shed tears of sadness. However, she didn't stop her mother, or rather, she didn't object at all. In her mind, she was absolutely right.
In the past, she had also opposed Li Can's decision to join the army. There was no future for him at all.
···
Li Can was filled with anger. He had never thought that the He family would be like this, looking down on soldiers. They felt that there was no future in the military!
Why should I?
Did honor not count? Could it be that a soldier couldn't afford a house for the rest of his life? Were soldiers useless? A boorish man?
[Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host for activating the Iron-Blooded Soldier King System. Scanning the host's entire body now. Countdown: 10, 9, 8…]
Suddenly, a strange sound came from his body, giving Li Can a fright. He did not understand what was going on and was in a daze. He even felt that this was an illusion.
Before he could think about it, a domineering motorcycle suddenly rushed over!
