Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

"I told you before that you didn't need to buy so many gifts."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang covered her mouth and laughed.

Seeing Liang Ming's somewhat bitter smile, she then comforted him:

"Alright, alright, we've already bought the gifts, so let's not think about it anymore."

There's a saying, "It's never wrong to be overly polite."

"My parents don't care much about these gifts, but they definitely won't be unhappy if you give them to them."

Hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming also felt that they made sense and nodded slightly.

As they were talking, their car arrived at the gate.

The guard at the gate was a young man in military uniform carrying a gun. When he saw Liang Ming's car, he prepared to stop it and question him.

"Xiao Liu, open the door for me, it's me."

Jiang Meizhuang immediately rolled down the car window and shouted at the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper, Xiao Liu, immediately saluted upon seeing Jiang Meizhuang and said:

"Oh, it's Miss Jiang. I'll open the door for you right away."

He immediately opened the barrier and let Liang Ming drive in.

Seeing the gatekeeper's respect for Jiang Meizhuang, Liang Ming had a rough idea of ​​the Jiang family's influence in the city compound.

After entering the city compound, Liang Ming followed Jiang Meizhuang's instructions and soon arrived at a three-story Western-style building.

"I'm home!" Jiang Meizhuang said to Liang Ming.

Then he got out of the car, helped Liang Ming carry the gifts, and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and a woman in her forties or fifties walked out, reciting:

"Who is it? My husband has already finished get off work. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Mom, it's me back," Jiang Meizhuang said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother's face lit up with joy: "Meizhuang has returned."

At this point, she called out towards the inner room:

"Old man, it's Meizhuang and her boyfriend who have arrived."

After saying that, Jiang's mother turned to look at Liang Ming and sized him up.

"He's good-looking, tall and big, and a good kid."

"I heard he's a few years younger than my Meizhuang. That's great! Young people have lots of energy, so they can have grandchildren soon."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Jiang Meizhuang's face immediately turned red: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What? Where did I say something wrong? You're almost thirty years old and still haven't had a child. Look at Old Zhang's family next door, their grandson is old enough to run errands."

Jiang's mother said to Jiang Meizhuang with a serious expression.

At this point, she sighed repeatedly and said:

"My life is so hard. I have a son and a daughter. My daughter is thirty years old and still not married. My son got married a long time ago, but all he knows is to serve the people. He doesn't even know how to give me a grandson to take care of."

"I'm practically retired now, sigh..."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Jiang Meizhuang immediately begged for forgiveness.

Liang Ming, who was standing to the side, was also a little stunned by Jiang's mother's enthusiastic manner.

Didn't Jiang Meizhuang say that when she told her parents she was dating someone, they all had expressionless faces?

Wasn't it said that the prospects for their marriage were not very optimistic?

How do you tell from the future mother-in-law's attitude? It seems like she can't wait for Jiang Meizhuang to get married.

"Oh? It's the future son-in-law! Come in, come in quickly, the food will be ready soon. You must have a few drinks with this old man tonight."

At this moment, an old man wearing reading glasses also came out of the house. When he saw Liang Ming, he immediately and warmly grabbed him and said...

At this point, Jiang's father looked at Liang Ming and tentatively asked, "Little Liang, will you drink this wine with me?"

Upon hearing Jiang's father's words, Liang Ming quickly replied, "Of course, if Uncle wants to drink, I will definitely keep him company."

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang's father was very satisfied.

"Xiaoming, why did you buy so many gifts? It's too expensive."

"If word gets out, people will say we're after the son-in-law's money."

Jiang's mother also noticed the car full of gifts outside and said with some surprise.

"I didn't know what Uncle and Aunt liked, so I just bought some random things. It wasn't a lot of money, so I hope you won't mind."

Liang Ming hurriedly said.

As he spoke, he hurriedly carried all the gifts into his home.

Seeing this, Jiang Meizhuang also joined in to help.

"Sister Meizhuang, didn't you say your parents would definitely object to us? Why do they seem to be..."

During this time, Liang Ming found a gap and whispered to Jiang Meizhuang, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Meizhuang was also a bit confused: "I don't understand either. In the past, when my parents didn't express their opinions, they were usually against it."

"I don't know why they seem so eager to marry me off this time?"

Jiang Meizhuang felt that the phrase "eager to wait" was very appropriate.

Parents, that seems to be what it means!

Even after meeting Jiang Meizhuang, Liang Ming still couldn't figure out what Jiang's parents meant, so he could only be more vigilant and pay close attention.

Just as the two of them were carrying the gifts into their home, their brother-in-law Jiang Tao and sister-in-law Li Lan happened to arrive.

"Mom and Dad, is this my little sister's boyfriend? He's really handsome!"

Li Lan was somewhat surprised to see Liang Ming come to her house, but she quickly said some kind words.

"Yes, yes, little sister has great taste," Jiang Tao chimed in.

"Alright, you two stop pretending. I already know about your meeting and how you two met. I even had Meizhuang bring her home."

Father Jiang glared at Jiang Tao and Li Lan, and said in a deep voice:

"Do you two know what you did wrong?"

Upon hearing Jiang's father's words, Jiang Tao and Li Lan were both taken aback: "Dad, where did we go wrong?"

"Kneel down!" Father Jiang shouted softly.

Jiang Tao and Li Lan exchanged a glance and had no choice but to kneel down.

Only then did Mr. Jiang speak up: "You two, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, your sister is dating, such a big thing, and you didn't tell me, your father, right away? And you still say you did nothing wrong?"

"Each of you, copy Chairman Mao's quotations 10 times!"

Upon hearing Jiang's father's words, both Jiang Tao and Li Lan let out a wail, but they had no choice but to listen.

After punishing Jiang Tao and Li Lan, Jiang's father turned to Liang Ming with a kind and gentle expression and said:

"Xiao Liang, ignore them. You have to drink with this old man tonight. If you're happy, your marriage to Mei Zhuang will be easier to discuss..."

When Liang Ming saw Jiang Tao, Li Lan, who had initially felt bad about being punished, perked up immediately upon hearing Jiang's father's words and said:

"Uncle, I can only drink a pound of baijiu, but I can drink as much as I want with you!"

"Good, Xiao Liang, I like what you said!" Jiang's father laughed heartily upon hearing this.

After saying that, he started setting out the wine glasses and went inside to get a bottle of Golden Wine.

"Xiao Liang, this Golden Wine is a product of a newly established liquor factory in our city. I've tried a few cups, and it tastes quite good. How about we drink this tonight?"

Upon hearing these words from Jiang's father, both Jiang Tao and Liang Ming's expressions changed.

This might be a great opportunity for Liang Ming to shine?
