"I'll be discharged this afternoon!" Just after noon, when He Li's mental and physical condition seemed to be quite good, she packed her things and said,"If I don't go home tonight, my parents will definitely think that I eloped with someone else!"”
Jin Xiaomao smiled and replied," Why don't we go to the hotel tonight and let the elopement happen?"”
"You wish!" He Li glanced at him." I have to make up for the work I missed today. I think I'm fine now. Go and help me with the procedures and get discharged immediately."”
Women were the most stubborn animals, let alone a woman who claimed to be a strong person. Jin Xiaomao couldn't stop her and quickly ran to get discharged.
He Li's car was still being repaired in the 4S shop because of the accident, so Jin Xiaomao had no choice but to call a taxi to send her home. On the way, He Li instructed him," When you get home, if my mom asks why you're not driving, just say that the car was taken to a 4S shop for maintenance. Don't tell her that it was damaged. The old lady will be worried."”
She then said," But you might not even be able to enter the house. My mother doesn't like messy people coming to my house. She likes peace and quiet."”
"Am I considered a messy person? I'm the son-in-law you chose." Jin Xiaomao joked.
"It's not certain if it's the real deal.”He Li deliberately said this," My mother is a picky person. You're sad when it comes to her.”
"Is that so? Why don't we elope?" Jin Xiao Mao smiled.
They chatted and laughed along the way. Unknowingly, the car had already entered the neighborhood. Under He Li's guidance, they finally stopped in front of a three-story villa.
The villa was surrounded by wooden fences. There were many flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. Some were in bloom during this season, while others were not. They were uneven and looked very beautiful!
Mrs. He was tidying up the flowers and plants in the yard. When she saw the two of them get out of the taxi from afar, she was a little surprised. She hurriedly came up and asked,"Lili, it's not even time to get off work yet. Why are you back?”
Jin Xiaomao was about to help make up a lie to brush it off, but He Li glared at him. Who could compare to her in lying? Didn't Jin Xiaomao get tricked by her several times?
The moment He Li opened his mouth, his lie was exactly the same as the truth."There's nothing much to do in the company in the afternoon. It's really boring to stay here, so I came back first.”
"Where's your car?" Mother He asked.
" I left the car there when I passed by the 4S shop and asked them to help me maintain it tomorrow," He Li replied calmly. There was a huge queue this afternoon. I really didn't want to wait there.”
Everything she said sounded like it was true, and Mrs. He didn't suspect anything at all. However, when she saw Jin Xiao Mao standing behind her, she was suddenly stunned. She felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
"Who is this young man?" Mother He couldn't help but ask.
"Mom, why are you asking so many questions?" He Li quickly gave Jin Xiao Mao a look, asking him to find an excuse to leave quickly. However, his next words were extremely polite." Xiao Mao, thank you for sending me back. If you have nothing else to do, come in and sit for a while."”
Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaomao did not notice her glance at all. After hearing her polite words, he actually believed her and replied,"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. Then I'll go in and chat with Auntie for a while.”
He Li was instantly furious, but he couldn't say anything. Jin Xiaomao followed them into the living room.
The living room was huge and luxuriously decorated. One look and one could tell that it was a rich family. Jin Xiao Mao glanced at it and stopped looking because he was more concerned about He Li's health.
"Auntie, gravel, no, no! Where was Mr. He's bedroom? I'll send her there and talk to you when I come back.”
Mother He was a little confused. Who was this person? It didn't seem like he was calling Mr. He a friend. It was a little too much to say that she was an employee. Hence, she stopped talking and allowed him to send her upstairs.
As soon as he entered He Li's bedroom, He Li pulled him over and said,"Who let you in? Can't you tell that I gave you a look and told you to leave quickly?”
Jin Xiaomao was also confused. He said inexplicably,""Didn't you ask me to come in and sit?”
"Hurry up and do everything you can to leave my house.”After He Li finished speaking, he pushed him out of the room.
Jin Xiaomao was speechless. He thought, an ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her parents-in-law, and an ugly son-in-law would have to meet her mother-in-law. What was there to be afraid of? As long as I have a sincere and open heart, I believe that anything can be resolved. He firmly believed that he was completely different from He Li. She would lie, but he would not.
Mother He invited Jin Xiaomao to sit down in the living room and handed him a cup of tea.""Where are you from? How do you know my Lili?"
"I'm from Gan County, over a thousand miles away from here. I know her because…because we work in the same company.”? Jin Xiaomao, who had just boasted that he didn't know how to lie, actually lied in less than a round.
"Oh, I understand. What position are you in my daughter's company now?”Mother He asked.
"I'm an administrative assistant in the company.”This time, Jin Xiaomao answered truthfully.
"Administrative assistant? From the name, it sounded like he had a high position? So what was the role of an administrative assistant?”Mrs. He used to be a teacher, so she didn't know anything about the positions in the company.
" This administrative assistant is to assist our department manager in completing the company's work and affairs." Jin Xiaomao had to explain. For example, if they have a meeting, I will help set up the venue. If they are going on a business trip, I will help them plan the time, buy the plane tickets, and book the rooms. Do you understand now?”
"I know. To put it in a more vulgar way, he's just a handyman!”Mother He said with a smile.
He Li was the one who had first instilled the word " handyman " into him, so he did not feel that it was belittling him. Instead, he smiled and said,"Yes, I'm just a handyman!”
"Then the salary of an administrative assistant will definitely not be high. If the salary is too low, how will you support your wife and children? So, child, you have to work hard!”Mrs. He said that on purpose. Firstly, she could test whether this young man was single. Secondly, she could use this to strike a blow to his self-confidence so that he wouldn't mess around with her daughter.
As expected, Jin Xiaomao immediately confessed in front of her,""Auntie, I'm still single. Where would I get a wife and children? But you're right. I must work hard before I get married.”
"How old are you? Are you still single?" Mrs. He was an experienced person. When this young man entered the living room, she remembered that he was also the one who helped her daughter retrieve the documents last time. There were no more employees who were so enthusiastic and willing to run up and down the stairs. To put it bluntly, if he did not have anything to do, he would either be a traitor or a thief! She had to help her daughter check it out.
"Auntie, I'm twenty-nine years old. I haven't found a suitable one, so I'm single.”? Jin Xiaomao was a little embarrassed. To be honest, many of his classmates were already married and had children at this age.
What's your family background?" Mrs. He asked as she poured some water into Jin Xiaomao's cup.
"Your background?" He didn't quite understand what she meant.
" What I mean is your family. What do your parents do?" Mrs. He laughed.”
"My parents are farmers, and my mother runs a shop at home.”? Jin Xiaomao replied awkwardly.
A look of disdain appeared on Mrs. He's face, but she quickly hid it with a smile. She continued to ask,"What qualifications do you have? You must have studied hard and delayed your time to fall in love, get married, and have children, right?”
"Auntie, I graduated from high school and tried my best, but my ability was limited, so I didn't get into university.”Jin Xiaomao smiled bitterly and took a sip of the bitter tea.
After hearing this, Mother He pushed the cup away and said,"I see. To be honest, with your conditions, it's probably difficult for you to find a partner in the countryside.”What she meant was that she shouldn't have any ideas about her daughter.
"I still have something to do, so I won't keep you any longer. You can go and do your work!”Mother He stood up and said.
What a nice way to put it! Jin Xiaomao understood in his heart that this was actually just one word: Send the guests out!
This was the first time he had seen his mother-in-law, and he had been kicked out just like that!
