Lin Xinghua really lost his temper with him. He cursed with a smile and said, "Before, when they came back, they didn't look good to you. I felt that I, as a father, had failed. Now, when they came back, their attitude towards you changed drastically. I still feel that I have failed."
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"Humph, these ungrateful wolves are so snobbish. Are they looking at me? They don't even care about an old, dead person like me. They are looking at you. Lin An, Big Boy, it's because you have made progress that they will come back to look at me."
Xie Linan smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's normal. If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you. But if you are rich in a remote mountain area, you will have distant relatives."
Lin Xinghua's old eyes revealed his emotions, and he repeated it in a low voice.
"If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you; if you are rich in a remote mountain area, you will have distant relatives."
"You still need to study more. I vaguely felt that this was the idea and said it out loud."
If you are poor, even your own son will look up to you.
…
Early in the morning of the first lunar month, Ye Zhengguo asked Ye Xiaoqiang to come over and asked Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Linan if they wanted to go over for dinner.
According to custom, married women have to go back to their parents' home for dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Ye Xiaozhen was in the room, listening to her boss Xie Linan talking to Ye Xiaoqiang.
"Your sister is gone. She is free now."
"It's okay. It's so close. You can just walk over there."
Xie Linan said calmly: "It's a matter of distance. Your mother and your elder sister have a lot of opinions about Xiaozhen. What if they cause trouble for her? It's not good to hurt her."
Hearing him say this, Ye Xiaoqiang opened his mouth and stopped insisting.
"Then sister, are you going?"
Xie Linan grinned and said, "Go ahead and prepare some good wine and food."
Ye Xiaoqiang smiled brightly, "Hey, I'll tell my dad now."
Ye Xiaozhen was very happy and stood at the window to call Xie Linan back.
Xie Linan ran into the room and asked, "What's wrong? You look so stern."
"Humph, you still have the nerve to ask what's wrong. Why did you agree to go with him?"
"Why would I want to eat something ready-made?"
Ye Xiaozhen said unhappily, "Is your food missing from the family?"
Xie Linan coaxed her, "Xiaozhen, don't be angry. Relax. If you suffer a loss, they will come to you eagerly. I can answer them. Otherwise, they will be angry and come to harass you again."
He stared at her belly, wondering if it was torturous.
That's impossible.
"I'll give them a taste of their own medicine, let them fight each other, and I'll avenge you."
Xie Linan deliberately dawdled until noon, during which time they looked up at the door several times, and Ye Zhengguo asked Ye Xiaoqiang more than once whether Xie Linan had really agreed to come.
Ye Xiaoqiang was getting impatient with the questions. Just when he began to wonder if Xie Linan had played a trick on him, he finally saw Xie Linan coming with a straw bag.
The cheap fruit candies that Xie Zhili sent to us the day before yesterday had melted and solidified again, so they got a bargain.
"Dad, my sister is here."
"real?"
"Look, what is that?"
Ye Zhengguo stood at the door and saw a figure walking towards them from a distance. Who could it be? It was Xie Linan.
"Hurry, tell your mother and your sister to get ready, fry the meat, and serve the meal."
"Hey." Ye Xiaoqiang hurried to the kitchen, "Mom, sister, sister is here, Dad asked you to fry the meat quickly."
After shouting, he hurried into the house to get the wine. He was so attentive.
Sun Qing was so angry that he complained to Ye Xiaochun, "Look, this is your brother, my biological son. Now in his eyes, I am a useless mother. He only has his father. His father asked him to curry favor with Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Linan, so he went to curry favor with them. He doesn't take me, his mother, into consideration at all."
Ye Xiaochun was also angry, "What a bad guy! I was so nice to him but it was all in vain. He is now calling that bitch Ye Xiaozhen so affectionately, as if Ye Xiaozhen is his real sister."
"That's all because Xie Lin'an made money. Xiaochun, you have to work hard. Everything will be fine once you marry Qian Jian."
Ye Xiaochun nodded, and his heart also began to fall.
Sun Qing saw this and asked, "What's the matter? Are you two still in a good relationship?"
Ye Xiaochun sighed and said, "But he didn't say when he would get married."
"Are you guys living together now? Why haven't you mentioned marriage?"
"I know. Let's talk about it later." Ye Xiaochun sighed in disappointment.
Seeing her like this, Sun Qing also became anxious, "It's not okay for a grown-up girl like you to follow him like this without any fame. You have to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible so that you can have peace of mind."
"I know."
"It's okay for him to mention it. Men can be careless sometimes. They think it's okay."
"I know."
"Hey, don't just keep it to yourself. Wait until after the New Year to mention it to him. Do you hear me?"
As they were talking, Xie Linan's voice came from the yard.
"Jin wanted to come, too, but I asked her to come. Her stepmother and her sister like her, and I was worried that if she came, they would be happy and you, my father-in-law, would be caught in the middle."
Sun Qing gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard is trying to sow discord."
After listening to Xie Linan's words, Ye Zhengguo and Ye Xiaoqiang indeed had another complaint against Sun Qing.
In Ye Zhengguo's view, he and the three women in this family are all related by blood, and they are a blood family.
It was Sun Qing who was causing trouble all day long, ruining the relationship between father and daughter, and between sister and brother.
"Her stepmother has not received much education. She is just an old country woman with no knowledge and is very irritable. Don't bother with her."
Xie Linan said: "I understand, so I didn't ask Zhen to come over to provoke her."
Ye Zhengguo gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! My daughter has to depend on her stepmother's mood before she can go back to her parents' home."
These two poor old ladies.
"Come on, let's talk about this and go in for a drink."
Ye Zhengguo invited Xie Linan to sit down and drink and eat, and Sun Qing brought the food up one after another.
She was angry and threw it on the table, saying something sarcastic.
"Since you know that I like Ye Xiaozhen, what are you doing here? Do you need this bite of food?"
Xie Linan frowned, put down his glass and sighed: "It seems that it's time for me to come. I'd better go now."
Ye Zhengguo's face changed, and he and Ye Xiaoqiang pulled him on both sides, saying, "Don't listen to her, I'm still alive and well, and it's her turn to make the decisions in this family."
Ye Xiaoqiang also complained to her, "Mom, what are you doing on New Year's Day? My sister can't come because he gave us face. Do you think he is short of food? I invited him, but he wanted to come on his own."
"You wicked bastard, I am your mother."
"What's wrong with my mother?" Ye Zhengguo glared at Sun Qing and said, "This family has only produced a troublemaker like you. You can stay if you can, but if you don't want to stay, get out."
Sun Qing's face turned red with anger. "You are so good, Ye Zhengguo, you want to drive me away for that idiot? Fine, I'll leave. I don't think you can live a good life without me."
