Chapter 810: The Reverse Reasoning Method Reveals Qi Mu's Conspiracy
He Minhong's parents did the math for him, and the final result was that even if Qi Mu's salary reached 50,000 yuan, He Minhong would not be very happy.
Because Qi Mu's income was very high, his expenses were also very high, making it difficult for the pregnant He Minhong to live comfortably.
He Minhong found this result hard to accept; she didn't understand why money was being spent so quickly.
Then, He Minhong's strange thought process led her to say that since Qi Mu wanted to marry her, he must love her. This immediately gave He Minhong's parents a headache.
Love without a material foundation is not worth mentioning at all. Do you expect me to suffer along with him?
“Honghong, can you not be so silly? Qi Mu has already done the math, but he still chooses to be with you. It’s not because he loves you, but because he’s too shrewd.”
Does Qi Mu know that you are an only child? Does he know that you live in a happy family? So even if you are not happy in Qi Mu's family, can we, as parents, just watch you suffer?
To put it bluntly, Qi Mu is trying to drag us down with him. You may not have money, but we do. How can we not help you when you're in trouble?
Qi Mu wants our family to subsidize his family, doesn't he? He knows you're easy to manipulate, that's why he chose you. I really doubt if Qi Mu truly loves you.
He Minhong's mother exposed Qi Mu's conspiracy once again. If He Minhong's mother had said this before, He Minhong would never have believed it. She would have accused her mother of misunderstanding Qi Mu and said that Qi Mu was not that kind of person.
But now that He Minhong is pregnant, and considering the expenses her parents just calculated after she became pregnant, her mother's explanation suddenly made a lot more sense and was more convincing.
He Minhong wanted to refute her mother, Qi Mu, for not being that kind of person, but she hesitated because once the seed of doubt was planted, He Minhong would definitely start overthinking.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to be in a state of doubt, He Minhong's mother pressed on, "Honghong, you and Qi Mu have been dating for a while now. Is Qi Mu the kind of person who doesn't have a plan?"
Regarding this issue, He Minhong began to praise Qi Mu, saying, "Mom, Qi Mu is a very smart person. He is very organized in everything he does. On the contrary, I am a bit forgetful. But he didn't blame me. Instead..."
He Minhong wanted to take this opportunity to praise Qi Mu and change his mother's attitude towards him.
However, He Minhong was interrupted by her mother before she could finish speaking, because she had already heard the answer she wanted to hear: Qi Mu was a person with plans.
Thinking of what Zhou Chen had said before, He Minhong's mother's mind began to clear up slowly, and everything seemed to become clear.
Next, He Minhong's mother seized on this loophole and began to refute He Minhong. She once again speculated about Qi Mu's scheming, and these words once again made He Minhong waver.
"Since Qi Mu is a person who plans things out, let me ask you another question. You said Qi Mu wants to marry you, but has he mentioned renting a house, when to rent it, and where to rent it? Has he discussed these things with you?"
Faced with her mother's question, He Minhong was completely confused. She didn't know what her mother wanted to say.
However, He Minhong shook his head, because Qi Mu had indeed not mentioned renting a house to him, and He Minhong had not paid attention to this issue.
When He Minhong and Qi Mu were together, they talked about romance, famous books, or things related to their future baby, such as how to hold the wedding and where to rent a house. Qi Mu never mentioned it.
After his mother's reminder, He Minhong suddenly realized that his mother was right and wondered if he was too easy to manipulate.
Marriage is a major event in a woman's life. It seems that because of her pregnancy, Qi Mu talked more about getting married to He Minhong as soon as possible to give the child a home. After all, it can't be without a proper marriage, right?
Looking back now, it seems that what Qi Mu described as marriage was more like getting a marriage certificate than having a wedding ceremony.
After all, neither of them had met each other's parents, and they hadn't discussed any of the wedding arrangements. Qi Mu was in charge of everything.
He Minhong wasn't stupid; she was just a little love-struck. Now that Qi Mu's sweet words weren't bothering her, her parents' analysis made her realize many problems she hadn't noticed before.
He Minhong's mother had no idea what He Minhong was thinking. She didn't want to talk about marriage, but about the house.
Seeing that He Minhong denied that Qi Mu had mentioned renting a house, He Minhong's mother seized on this contradiction and began to launch a fierce attack.
"Qi Mu didn't mention renting a house. Are you getting married in the old house?"
Honghong, the fact that Qi Mu has never taken you home to see the house he lives in already says a lot.
We just mentioned that Qi Mu's house is too small to accommodate so many people, but if we think about it from another perspective, we can understand why Qi Mu doesn't rent a house.
After saying that, He Minhong's mother took the ledger from which she had just calculated the expenses, and then drew a few lines on it. Suddenly, she understood a lot more, which was enough to explain Qi Mu's conspiracy.
He Minhong's mother showed the drawn account book to He Minhong and explained, "Isn't it much clearer now? Qi Mu saved a lot of expenses, which also explains why Qi Mu didn't rent a house to get married."
Next, He Minhong's mother explained the account book she had drawn. First of all, He Minhong was newly pregnant and there were still seven or eight months before she gave birth. If Qi Mu brought He Minhong home after getting married, He Minhong could help take care of his mother, thus saving him eight months' worth of nanny fees.
At the same time, He Minhong no longer needs to worry about not having enough room at home after firing the nanny. So why bother renting a house?
At most, He Minhong will need someone to take care of her for two or three months after giving birth. It's not too late to find a nanny then, or she can stay in a postpartum care center.
Once He Minhong is out of confinement and able to move around independently, she can become a full-time housewife, taking care of both the child and her mother. It's not impossible if we can "brainwash" He Minhong.
He Minhong's mother's explanation was clear and concise, and it seemed to make a lot of sense and was in line with Qi Mu's thoughts.
Haha, these words are completely unlike what He Minhong's mother could have imagined, of course, Zhou Chen's previous reminders are also a factor.
After all, Zhou Chen had already said that Qi Mu's ultimate goal was to have He Minhong become a full-time housewife to take care of his mother, so that he could save a lot of money.
Qi Mu's first two marriages failed for this reason. After all, Qi Mu's wives weren't stupid. Once they lived with Qi Mu for a while, their true intentions would eventually be revealed.
After Zhou Chen's reminder, what He Minhong's mother needed to do was to reason backward from the result to the process, and then combine that with Qi Mu's actions, it suddenly sounded reasonable.
He Minhong was dumbfounded. Although she didn't want to believe that Qi Mu was that kind of person, her mother's words made a lot of sense. He Minhong didn't know who to believe.
