Chapter 391 Mercedes-Benz is not a good car
Ma Guoqing walked to the sofa and sat in front of Ma Wenli.
"I know what you're thinking. He's a second marriage, so he and you are definitely not a good match. But you can't think that way. He's rich now, and his conditions are good. If you two were together, you wouldn't even have to go to work, and you'd be able to drive the car he drives, and you'd be able to live in a big house in the future. Isn't that better than working hard in Beijing?"
Ma Wenli did not deny it immediately, but started to think about it seriously.
This is indeed a very important point.
"But not only is he a second marriage, but his grades weren't good back then, so he was admitted to a non-key university. I went to a key 985 university, and many of my classmates and current colleagues graduated from prestigious universities. If we were together, I guess we wouldn't be able to talk to each other because we wouldn't have anything in common."
"You are all college students, how come you have no common topics?"
"But college students are also divided into different levels. The quality of their schools is different, and their working environments are also different, so naturally they can't talk to each other."
Ma Wenli sat up from the sofa and crossed her legs:
"Let me tell you this. I like traveling, drinking coffee, going to western restaurants, reading books and writing poetry. People like him only think about worldly things. I think there may be obstacles in our communication. We don't share the same values, so we're bound to quarrel in the future."
Hearing Ma Wenli say this, Ma Guoqing lit a cigarette worriedly.
This question is indeed very important.
At this time, Liu Ling came over and seemed a little relieved. She no longer minded his second marriage status.
"These are all later. Having money is definitely the most important thing in life. As long as you have money, you won't have those worries. Don't dwell on your academic qualifications. Think about it carefully and lower your standards for choosing a spouse."
"It's okay to lower it a little, but I want a betrothal gift of 66 yuan. If he moves to Beijing with me, the house he buys cannot be less than 150 square meters, and it has to be in my name, otherwise I won't consider it."
After hearing Ma Wenli's request, the old couple looked at each other.
"Isn't it a little high? It's fine to have the house in your name, but the bride price can be reduced. I think 200,000 or 300,000 will be enough," said Ma Guoqing.
"Compared with my colleagues, this is not high." Ma Wenli said:
"Don't forget, everyone around me graduated from prestigious universities and has great potential. Lin Jiang just drives a Mercedes-Benz. I have many friends who drive Mercedes-Benz too. I agreed to be with him, which is lowering my standards. With just this much, his family should be very happy."
After listening to what Ma Wenli said, Ma Guoqing felt that it seemed to make some sense and turned to look at Liu Ling.
"What do you think."
"I don't think our daughter's conditions are very high. After all, her education is there, and he's a second marriage, so it's not too much to ask for."
"Yeah, he's a divorced man, so it's normal for him to give more. After all, our daughter has never been married." Ma Guoqing put out the cigarette in his hand.
"That's settled then. Find some time to talk to Li Xiaoping. If there are no problems, let's settle this matter."
"When is a good time to go?"
"Wait a moment, Lin Jiang seems to have gone out, and we won't be able to see him now."
"That's fine, I'll go there in the afternoon."
……
At the same time, Lin Jiang drove the car to the county.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the county is much more lively than I imagined, and there is a Chinese New Year atmosphere.
The purpose of coming out today is not to play, but more to purchase New Year's goods and buy some firecrackers and fireworks.
When I was young, my family was poor and we couldn’t afford to buy too many things, nor could we buy good ones. So, during the Chinese New Year, I couldn’t have fun to my heart’s content.
Now that I have money, I can buy more and store as much as I want when I get home.
When they arrived at the county, the four people automatically split into two groups.
Shen Qingqiu took Li Yuetong to buy delicious food, while Lin Jiang and Zhou Jingliang went to buy firecrackers and fireworks.
The principle of purchasing is also very simple: big and expensive. If you follow these two standards, you basically can’t go wrong.
"I feel like this car is a bit disappointing and can't fit anything." Lin Jiang said.
"It's not that the car is bad, it's that you bought too much. In less than half an hour, more than 10,000 yuan has been spent." Lin Jiang said:
"The main thing is that this stuff is really not cheap. Anything that I like costs 1,800 yuan. I remember when we were kids, even a few dozen yuan was considered expensive."
"It's a different era now, but 1,800 yuan a piece is definitely not cheap."
"But to you, it should all be drizzle."
"Who are you insulting? It's not even a drizzle."
Lin Jiang looked around and found a relatively large fireworks wholesale point. There were quite a lot of people in front of the stall and business was booming.
"You want to buy more?"
"These are not enough. Now that I have money, I must indulge myself. I'll buy yours too, so you don't have to buy anything."
"I like to hear that. I suggest you buy more."
Lin Jiang stamped out the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The two walked over. Lin Jiang looked at the fireworks on the stall. The boss was holding a cigarette and greeting the customers in front.
"Can you guys deliver the goods? My car can't fit it."
"You'd better pull it yourself. I'm a bit busy here, so it's not convenient for me to deliver it."
"It's mainly because it's not convenient for us to find a suitable car."
"Okay then, if the amount is over one thousand yuan, we will deliver it, but it cannot leave the county," said the middle-aged boss.
"Our home is in the nearby Xiangyang Village, which is not too far away."
"Xiangyang Village? That's not in the county, we can't send it there."
The middle-aged boss refused outright without giving the customer any chance, and continued to take care of other customers.
Lin Jiang and Zhou Jingliang looked at each other, and the latter said:
"Let's go. There are so many places selling fireworks. We don't have to buy them from them."
Lin Jiang nodded, and the two of them didn't walk far and went to the next door.
In comparison, the business of the store next door is a little worse. Although it has a complete range of products, its business is not very popular.
"Young man, our family will deliver it."
The people selling things were a couple, and the person who greeted Lin Jiang was the boss's wife. She also heard their conversation just now.
"How much more than that will be delivered?"
"It's also free if the amount is over 1000. I just heard you say that your family lives in Xiangyang Village, right?"
"Correct."
"That's no problem. We'll deliver it to you when the amount reaches 1000." "Load all the first six rows onto the car, and load all these handheld ones on top as well." Lin Jiang said.
The proprietress was stunned.
"What did you say? You want all six rows in front?"
Lin Jiang nodded, "And these handheld ones on the table."
"All these add up to more than 30,000 yuan."
"Yes, I want all of the ones I ordered just now. Please calculate the exact price."
The owner of the stall next door took one look at Lin Jiang and became completely numb.
He never thought that Lin Jiang could buy more than 30,000 items in one go, and he regretted it so much.
The lady boss was delighted. "Okay, okay, I'll install it for you right now, but there are a lot of people here right now. Everyone is here to buy things, so I may not be able to deliver it to you. Can I deliver it to you later?"
"Okay, as long as you can deliver the stuff to me today."
"I can definitely deliver it to you." The lady boss held up a calculator and said, "The total is 32300. Just give me 32000."
"I'll give you a 2000 yuan deposit, and I'll give you the remaining yuan after you deliver the goods."
"Okay, leave me your phone number and address."
"it is good."
Lin Jiang scanned 2000 yuan, left his phone number and address, and then left with Zhou Jingliang.
"Little brother, we have a lot of things at home that other people don't have. Would you like to take a look?" The boss next door was much more enthusiastic.
"Your family can't deliver the goods, so I won't watch it."
"We can deliver it, it's just Xiangyang Village, it's just a matter of driving a little more gas."
“Then I won’t buy it either.”
After saying this, Lin Jiang turned around and left without showing any mercy to the other party.
After buying things, the two went to find Li Qingqiu and Li Yuetong.
The things they bought were mainly food, and naturally all of them were paid for by Shen Qingqiu. It was impossible for Li Yuetong to spend money.
Afterwards, the group went to buy some New Year decorations, drinks and beer, and did not finish their shopping until noon.
After having a simple lunch outside, the four of them headed back home.
Lin Jiang did not go home, but drove to Zhou Jingliang's house.
I took down all the fireworks and firecrackers from the car. I bought so many that I couldn't set them all off myself, so I gave them all to him.
In addition, he took out two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and two boxes of tea and sent them over.
"What are you doing? You're being so polite to me."
"This is your foster father's New Year's gift to you. Just accept it and don't say so much."
"Depend on!"
The two of them carried their things to Zhou Jingliang's house, and Shen Qingqiu and Li Yuetong stayed in the car.
"Why is my brother so slow? He's been in there for more than ten minutes and hasn't come out yet." said Li Yuetong.
"It's Chinese New Year, so you have to stay and say hello and chat. You can't just walk into the house and leave. That's not polite."
“I feel like I’ve grown up and there are so many things I need to face.”
"That's for sure. Even though your brother seems to be laughing all the time, he has to deal with more things every day than you can imagine."
"Sister-in-law, you are so considerate."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, if she's not your sister-in-law now, she will be in the future. It won't be a problem if I call her in advance."
Shen Qingqiu smiled and sighed, but he couldn't do anything about her.
The two chatted casually in the car and didn't feel the waiting time was long.
At the same time, Ma Guoqing's family of three walked over from not far away.
"Girl, in a place like Beijing, aren't cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW everywhere?"
"Of course, and this kind of car is not considered a luxury car in places like Beijing and Zhonghai. Many people can afford it." Ma Wenli said:
"Also, most of my colleagues drive Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but he just drives a Mercedes-Benz. Even if it's an SUV, it doesn't cost much. You can buy it for a few hundred thousand. It's very cheap."
"If you look at it that way, it can't be considered making a lot of money." Ma Guoqing was a little hesitant.
It's just a Mercedes, you take it too seriously.
In big cities, there are plenty of cars like this, but you can’t say you’re rich.
"It's really nothing, and he's getting married for the second time, so I don't agree. If you two hadn't been talking about it all the time, I wouldn't have had any thoughts about him." Ma Wenli said indifferently.
"In my opinion, we should not go. Even if they can agree to my request, I don't want to find a divorced woman."
Ma Guoqing looked at Liu Ling, "What do you mean?"
"What did you do earlier? It's too late to talk about this now. I've already called Xiaoping."
“In that case, then go ahead. You’ll be back in a while. Don’t talk about a blind date. Just think of it as going to pay New Year’s greetings,” said Ma Guoqing.
"Then let's do this. Next time, stay calm and don't get so startled when something happens."
"I'm doing this for her own good, if it really works... eh..."
Ma Guoqing stopped and pointed at the car in front, "That's Lin Jiang's car. I saw him driving that car this morning."
Hearing this, the mother and daughter looked over.
"It's really big." Liu Ling didn't react much, but just felt a little emotional.
But Ma Wenli was different, she looked surprised.
"Dad, that's not a Mercedes, that's a Maybach!"
