The old house of the Bai family.
Seeing that Chen Ao really wanted to have a feast, Bai Ying couldn't bear to refuse, so she really brought Chen Ao with her.
As soon as Shen Ao entered the yard, he attracted a lot of people's attention. The whole yard became quiet, and after a while people began to talk in low voices.
"Isn't this the prisoner who married Bai Ying? Why is he here?"
"Who knows! He can't really be here to eat for free, right?"
"Look at how dirty he is! He didn't even change his clothes to be our guest. How can he be even more unrefined than us country folk? He's so dirty! Don't even come to our table..."
…
Shen Ao's arrival caused the atmosphere to become dull for a moment.
As the elder of the Bai family, Bai Maoxiao couldn't bear to see the atmosphere become so cold, so he stood up to greet him, "Second son-in-law is here, hurry up and sit down, sit at the main table."
When she heard that her eldest son wanted to invite Shen Ao to sit at the main table, although Mrs. Bai was reluctant out of courtesy, she couldn't refuse directly. She snorted coldly and turned her head away, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Shen Ao.
If this prisoner hadn't suddenly intervened and married Bai Ying, the one hundred yuan betrothal money wouldn't have been lost just like that!
How can a woman marry for free? This really makes her lose money.
Not only did Old Lady Bai look unhappy towards Chen Ao, but Qiao Xiaoling and Yang Mingwu at the main table also looked unhappy, and it was obvious that they did not welcome his arrival.
"No."
Chen Ao glanced at the people with different expressions, and after refusing in a deep voice, he walked to the table where Bai Ying was sitting, moved a chair and sat next to Bai Ying, "It's fine for me to sit here."
Um? ? ?
The women at the table stared at each other.
Bai Maoxiao was extremely anxious, "How can a man sit at the table with women and children?"
"Well, now we have it."
Chen Ao dropped these words indifferently, like a bomb, blowing everyone in the yard to pieces.
“…”
The people who reacted looked at Chen Ao with disgust.
A grown man sitting at the women's table?
Such a thing has never happened here! Because once a man does such a thing, it is equivalent to abandoning his identity as a man, losing both his face and his dignity, and he will be ostracized and isolated by the male group in the future.
Could it be that this outsider doesn't know the customs here?
Bai Maoxiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained to Chen Ao.
However, before he could finish his explanation, he was interrupted by Shen Ao waving his hand impatiently, "I want to eat."
"...Okay! Then you can just sit here."
Bai Maoxiao was so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched.
Inviting Shen Ao to the main table was to give him face, but he rejected his kindness again and again. He is really a labor camp prisoner and is not presentable!
He stormed back to the head table.
In the yard, even though someone would occasionally look at Chen Ao with disdain, Chen Ao would continue to lower his head and eat his food as if nothing had happened, looking contented.
Bai Ying turned her head to look at Chen Ao beside her, her expression stunned.
From childhood to adulthood, basically when we had a dinner party, if there were too many people, we would split the table into two for men and women. The adult men would sit at the main table, drinking and bragging with the other men, while the women would sit at the small table with their children.
This has almost become a tacit consensus among locals.
Men were also ashamed to sit at the same table with women, but Chen Ao was the first man who insisted on sitting at the women's table...
For a moment, Bai Ying felt a little strange.
Noticing Bai Ying's abnormality, Shen Ao even tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Bai Ying raised the corners of her lips, chuckled and shook her head.
Regardless of the reason, she still admired Shen Ao's behavior of not caring about the outside world's views and only choosing to stick to doing what he wanted to do...
"You kid, what's wrong with you sitting here with us women?"
Although Chu Xianglan blamed Chen Ao, she was actually very happy in her heart.
At first, when she learned that Bai Ying had to marry Shen Ao, she was quite dissatisfied with Shen Ao's status as a labor camp prisoner, but now seeing how much Shen Ao cared about her daughter, it was hard for her not to change her mind.
You have to know that the man she married, Bai Maozhong, is already an outstanding one among men. He is honest, reliable, capable, and he does not favor his mother. He also cares for his wife. Over the years, the couple has respected each other and rarely quarreled. They are already considered a model couple in Liushu Brigade.
But in fact... friction is inevitable in life. Bai Maozhong also has the shortcomings of men. He cares about reputation and face. He thinks that women should be responsible for the trivial matters at home. When the two of them have a dispute, he will not take the initiative to bow to her.
It is also because of this that Chu Xianglan has never expected her daughter to find a husband with a high status. As long as he is truly good to her, it will be fine. However, this is often the most difficult thing.
Now seeing how her daughter and son-in-law get along, Chu Xianglan feels relieved. It seems her daughter didn't choose the wrong man...
Chu Xianglan was really more and more satisfied with Shen Ao the more she looked at him. She picked up a piece of meat for Shen Ao with her chopsticks and said, "Good boy, eat more. You must have suffered so much on the farm for so long, right?"
Chen Ao didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes were stunned for a moment, but it disappeared in a flash, so fast that others couldn't notice it.
"Thank you, Mom." He whispered.
"Why!"
Chu Xianglan responded with a smile.
Each of her three sons gave her more worries than the other.
The eldest is too honest, the second is too wild, and the third still has the mentality of a child.
Unlike Chen Ao, who is honest and reliable but not pedantic, it would be great if he was her son. However, a daughter and son-in-law are also half her sons...
