He Tiantian took care of Qiao Zhenbang and ate.

Qiao Zhenbang always looked at He Tiantian, hesitating and hesitant to speak.

His expression was so obvious that even if He Tiantian tried to pretend she couldn't see it, there was no way he could understand it.

In the end, she had to pretend to be at a loss and asked: "Professor Qiao, do you have anything to say to me?"

"...Xiao He, now that we know each other, I won't hide him!"

"Your daughter has gone to college and is an adult. Have you ever thought about remarrying?"

Qiao Zhenbang seemed very anxious, but he didn't even make the initial preparations.

He didn't talk about feelings with He Tiantian, but went straight to the topic.

So direct, so straightforward, He Tiantian didn't even need to pretend, she showed a surprised expression.

Her eyes widened, and there was a hint of shyness and panic on her face.

Seeing He Tiantian's reaction, Qiao Zhenbang raised his lips with a wry smile and continued:

"Well, you should already know that my wife passed away a few years ago."

"At that time, some people advised me to find another wife, but I always felt that my children were older and I was getting older, so it would not be appropriate to marry again."

"But, this time I walked around the gate of hell and almost couldn't come back, and then I suddenly discovered -"

"Children, students, friends, and relatives are all unreliable. In the end, the only one who can stay by your side is your wife!"

"I may be a little presumptuous when I say this, but we are not young people anymore. At this age, it is unrealistic to talk about love! Let's talk about more realistic and practical issues!"

Qiao Zhenbang's words are straightforward, but his attitude is very sincere.

At first glance, it seems that he is sincere.

He did not rush to hear "He Xiutian's" response, but said to himself——

"I am fifty-four years old and a finance professor at University A."

"I am not a rich man, but I have saved a little bit of family property."

"In addition to the staff dormitory where we live now, we also have a flat floor and a villa with a certain amount of savings!"

"However, we are all parents. I believe you can understand that I will leave these family properties to my two children in a hundred years."

"Of course, without these things, I still have wages and other income."

"I have roughly estimated that, including salary and bonuses, there will be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month."

"After retirement, I will still have pension and consulting fees from some companies, which are no less than 30,000 yuan per month."

This money is Qiao Zhenbang's personal income and is the joint property of husband and wife after marriage.

"I suffered from a cerebral infarction this time. I may suffer from the disease or other diseases in the future. There is no need to worry about medical expenses."

"I have social security and commercial insurance such as critical illness insurance and critical illness medical insurance. Even if I get cancer or need major surgery such as a heart or kidney transplant, the medical expenses will be reimbursed!"

Therefore, he will not cause financial difficulties to his other half because of his old age or serious illness.

Qiao Zhenbang didn't seem like he was discussing marriage with a woman, but as if he was sitting on the negotiation table, talking about the conditions that were beneficial to him one by one.

He Tiantian:......

When such a direct man, such a prickly person discusses marriage, middle-aged rural women like "He Xiutian" have no other reaction besides being shocked and at a loss.

He Tiantian grasped this measure just right.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

There seemed to be movement in his eyes - Professor Qiao was not looking for a wife, but a nanny.

But he was very honest and did not talk about feelings with women and then engage in moral kidnapping.

He directly expressed his attitude that his family property would be left to his children, instead of coaxing women into treating him as an ancestor.

But the woman is not allowed to be a free nanny. His monthly income is the joint property of the couple and can be used by the woman.

Even if it's only half, it's still ten thousand or twenty thousand a month.

This is much higher than the salary of an ordinary live-in nanny.

As a middle-aged single mother who wants to earn a lot of money to support her daughter's education, He Tiantian will definitely be tempted.

But she was hesitating——

She herself didn't want to get married. If she wanted to remarry, she did it right after her husband died.

Instead of struggling to survive alone with my daughter.

Now that her daughter has gone to college and is about to get married and have children, she has completed her mission.

At that time, a person can be free and do whatever he wants, so there is no need to have an "uncle" to serve him.

Professor Qiao made it clear that he wanted to find a nanny who could take care of his food, daily life, and stay at his bedside.

If He Tiantian agreed, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

In addition to these obvious problems, there is also the opposition or hatred between the children of both parties.

Not to mention others, just Qiao Jianan just now showed a dissatisfied look towards her?!

They are not married yet, and it does not affect the interests of the Qiao family brothers and sisters.

Once they get married in the future, even if they are no longer in the country, there will always be conflicts.

She was clearly Qiao Zhenbang's "savior" and should have accepted the gratitude and respect of the children of the Qiao family.

As a result, because she went to work as a free nanny for Qiao Zhenbang, she became an old goblin or a vicious stepmother!

Gee, she must be stupid to do such a stupid thing!

Qiao Zhenbang saw "He Xiutian's" hesitation.

He also knows that women nowadays are very smart.

In the same situation, people would rather be a paid nanny who can resign than be stupidly coaxed by a man to become a "full-time wife".

"...Apart from these, although I am not a big shot, I am a professor at University A, with many students and classmates."

"It's hard to say in other places. In the provincial capital, I still have some connections and connections."

"Your daughter has gone to university, and it's the best S university in the provincial capital. This is great!"

"However, you must be aware of the current employment situation. It does not mean that you will have a good future after studying in a good university."

"How many undergraduate graduates are there every year? Students themselves joke that 'you will be unemployed after graduation'. This shows how great the employment pressure is!"

"As for me, I don't have much ability. As a professor in the Department of Finance, I know a few people in both the education and finance fields!"

Therefore, when the time comes, whether Zhao Yan continues to study for graduate school, becomes a teacher in a certain school, or enters a company, Qiao Zhenbang can help.

Hearing this, He Tiantian knew that she should show her heartbeat.

She is a good mother who did not remarry after her husband died and devoted herself to raising her daughter.

Therefore, her daughter Zhao Yan is her biggest weakness.

Qiao Zhenbang hit her acupuncture points accurately, and she had to react.

Sure enough, when he saw the eager light in "He Xiutian's" eyes, Qiao Zhenbang knew that his words had moved her.

Qiao Zhenbang continued his efforts, "It's a little early to talk about this issue now, but we parents must think clearly about our children in advance."

"Xiao He, your daughter is very good. There will definitely be boys on campus who like her."

"But, we are all adults, and we know that falling in love and getting married are two different things."

"When young people fall in love, it doesn't matter what their family conditions or financial background are. As long as they like each other, it's fine. Love is enough!"

"But when it comes to marriage... I'm not discriminating, but I'm a frivolous family and very repulsive to single-parent families -"

Not to mention, "He Xiutian" is also a nanny.

Qiao Zhenbang did not say this sentence.

Because with his status and accomplishments, he couldn't say something that was obviously professionally discriminatory.

However, there is no need to be too explicit about this kind of thing.

Worldly prejudices and worldly vanity are real.

Even "He Xiutian" himself hopes that his daughter can find a good family with a house and a car, and kind parents.

Everyone keeps saying, "As long as the child has good character, it will be fine." But of the two targets, one has a decent job and a good family background; the other, apart from being "a good person," has other poor conditions.

...how to choose?

As Qiao Zhenbang said, falling in love and getting married are two different things.

If it is just a relationship and two children, there is no need to worry too much.

But once marriage is involved, it is not a problem between two people, but two families, and it will even affect more relatives and friends.

Marriage is never just about love.
