Chapter 117 Yang Hui was slapped by Hua Gui
Yang Yunguo questioned, "Why did she go home? Didn't we agree that she would come to our house for dinner today? Did you make her angry? You'd better go and invite her back right now."
Yang Hui said, "Dad, why invite her? She doesn't respect you or me. You've seen her face. She looks down on us, father and son."
Yang Yunguo sighed helplessly: "What can we do? Who told us to have such a bad class background? We should be content with the fact that we can get a wife, especially since the director himself came to propose marriage. You should just bear with your anger."
Yang Hui moved a stool and sat down, ignoring him.
Yang Yunguo carefully placed the eggs on the table. He knew Yang Hui was upset, but what could he do with such a background? He could only blame himself.
He sat down next to Yang Hui, his lips trembling, and uttered a few words: "It's all Dad's fault. Dad ruined you. I dragged you down with me. Otherwise, I would have rather died."
Every time Yang Yunguo used this tactic, Yang Hui would soften and try to speak to Yang Yunguo in a gentle tone, saying, "Dad, I don't blame you."
Yang Yunguo wiped away his tears: "Son, if you really don't blame me, then listen to me. You're just twenty-five years old now, and you need to get married and have children. You have to give our Yang family an heir. I've tried to find you a wife everywhere, but nothing has worked out. Well, now the director has come to our door to offer his daughter to you. I know she has some minor flaws, but with our family background, even good families and good people don't want to come to our family..."
"I'm in poor health and have many illnesses. I don't know how many more years I can live. What will you do when I'm gone?"
Yang Hui stood up with red eyes: "Dad, stop talking. I'll go to her house right now... I'll apologize, okay? If she doesn't come, I'll kowtow to her, okay?"
His words carried a hint of helplessness and resentment, while his father behind him could only sigh heavily.
As soon as Yang Hui stepped out the door, he saw He Ruhua leading Hua Gui angrily into the courtyard.
Yang Yunguo's face lit up with joy when he saw her: "Ruhua, you're back? Your in-laws are here too, so we can eat together. I'll go get another set of chopsticks and a bowl."
Hua Gui didn't even glance at Yang Yunguo, and said loudly, "I dare not eat your Yang family's food!" After saying that, she went straight to Yang Hui, and then jumped up and slapped Yang Hui.
Yang Yunguo was dumbfounded.
Yang Hui glared back, his eyes wide, as Hua Gui launched into a vicious tirade: "Yang Hui, what kind of person are you? Don't you even know your own social standing and family background? My daughter isn't even married into the family yet, and you're already bullying her? And you're even ganging up with outsiders to bully her? Have you lost your mind? Don't think our family is easy to bully. I'm warning you, Ru Hua is an honest person, but her mother is not!"
Yang Hui came to his senses, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth: "That was originally He Ruhua's fault."
Hua Gui slapped him across the face again, forcing him back step by step, pointing at his forehead: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Yang Yunguo realized what was happening and quickly pulled Yang Hui behind him. Although he felt humiliated, he still hoped to resolve the matter peacefully: "My dear in-law, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Hua Gui rolled her eyes: "What? Your son was helping outsiders bully my daughter, and you didn't come home to tell me?"
He Ruhua couldn't wait to tell the story.
Yang Yunguo knew in his heart that this was not his son's fault, but he still apologized humbly: "This is indeed Yang Hui's fault. Yang Hui, why don't you apologize to Ruhua right away? I told you to go for a walk with Ruhua outside, why did you follow Wang's granddaughter-in-law and bully her?"
Yang Hui remained silent, his head bowed.
He Ruhua said arrogantly, "Yang Hui, did you hear that? Your dad told you to apologize to me. If you don't apologize, the marriage is off."
When Hua Gui heard her daughter mention Huang, her face changed. She nudged her with her elbow. "How could it be Huang? You can't find another person in the whole commune who is more honest and easier to control than the Yang family father and son. This stupid daughter! With her current reputation, the best family she can marry into is the Yang family, and Yang Hui is a teacher who receives a monthly salary."
She can even be the head of the household after she marries in!
She came along to teach Yang Hui a lesson, just to give him a warning and make him more cautious in the future.
She had the exact same expression as He Ruhua, her nostrils flared: "Yang Yunguo, what do you think we should do about this?"
Yang Yunguo knew that Yang Hui would not apologize, but he was unwilling to let the marriage fall through. So, he looked at He Ruhua, his thin and haggard face full of apology: "Ruhua, how about this, I will apologize to you on his behalf, so you can calm down. In the future, he will not dare to do this again. If he does it again, I will slap him."
He Ruhua snorted and ignored her future father-in-law.
Hua Gui didn't want to make things too serious, after all, she was very satisfied with the marriage, so she said, "Then let's just leave it at that. My son and I aren't the kind of people who hold grudges. However, if he continues to bully my daughter like this, then I will no longer acknowledge him as my son-in-law."
Yang Yunguo bowed and smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, I won't bully Ruhua anymore. Ruhua is such a good child."
He Ruhua said smugly, "That's for sure."
Before leaving, Hua Gui asked He Ruhua to stay for dinner. He Ruhua was a natural glutton, so she sat down and ate the eggs as if it were her right. After finishing, she kept burping and even asked Yang Hui to pour her some water.
Yang Hui knew that if he didn't pour the water, his father would have to, so he could only pour a glass of water for He Ruhua.
He Ruhua took a big gulp of water and said smugly, "You're the kind of person who deserves a slap. What? My mom beat you into submission, huh?"
Yang Hui's face still bore the obvious handprint. He had been living a stifled life for the past six years, but he had never felt this stifled before. But what could he do?
He shed a few tears, not even glancing at He Ruhua, and said, "Dad, I only took half a day off. I'm going back to school to teach. My students are waiting for me."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
He Ruhua ignored him. After eating and drinking her fill, she began to look around the house, pointing and saying, "This needs to be replaced, it's so old. And this one needs to be replaced too..."
Yang Yunguo bowed and scraped the whole time, but he also estimated in his mind that it would cost at least a hundred yuan to exchange it like this.
Yang Hui returned to school and began teaching Ji Xiaoming's class.
Although Ji Xiaoming didn't like studying, he liked Yang Hui very much. He was actually very clever and quick-witted. He noticed something was wrong with Yang Hui at a glance and even saw the handprint on his face.
When he got home from school, he told Wang Yuqing about it.
Wang Yuqing was changing the water for the snails. According to Ji Xiaoming, that means Teacher Yang was slapped. He Ruhua probably didn't dare to slap him, so it means He Ruhua went home and complained to her mother that Hua Gui was the one who slapped him.
This family just picks on the honest father and son and bullies them relentlessly!
