Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
It turned out to be Lu's mother's family, and it was Lu's mother who was speaking.
Mother Lu glanced at the Xie family with disgust on her face.
But what she said resonated with many people.
Yes, no matter how much money the Xie family makes, it has nothing to do with them. Why should they give them a place?
They don't work for the Xie family, so don't bother to please them or please them!
The Xie family never thought that the village chief's wife would save a seat for them.
But it’s nothing, seats are on a first-come, first-served basis and it doesn’t violate anyone’s interests.
They owe this favor to the village chief's wife!
But it is really unreasonable to ask others to give up their seats for them.
Mother Xie said directly to Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun, "Arong, you and your wife can take a bench and sit in the back. Xiaoni will stay here and watch with us."
The tone left no room for doubt.
Anyway, the couple already thinks that she and the old man are biased, so let them think whatever they want.
We can't let my in-laws and Axiao Xiangyi go, right?
The village chief's wife took the seat out of respect for them, and they will have to repay the favor in the future.
Without waiting for Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun to react, the village head's wife, who had no idea that Brother Xie and his wife had conflicts with Xie's father and mother, said quickly:
"No, no, why do you need to separate as a family? Just sit here. You have a reason to sit here!"
After saying that, the village head's wife frowned and looked at the villagers around her, taking in their reactions, then looked at Lu's mother and laughed angrily:
"We took benefits from the Xie family and curry favor with them?" Isn't this what Mother Lu meant by those sarcastic words just now?
"Yeah, so what if we are trying to curry favor with the Xie family? After all, they do give us food," the village chief's wife admitted, "What's wrong with us reserving a seat for them without harming the interests of the villagers?"
Her words shocked everyone and everyone started discussing it.
The village chief, who was negotiating with the projectionist, was attracted by the noise and came over with a frown, asking, "What's going on?"
Mother Lu sneered: "Indeed, you can curry favor with the Xie family in any way you want as long as it does not harm the interests of the villagers. We cannot interfere. But you did not take up enough seats. When the villagers moved back to make room for them, do you still dare to say that you did not harm the interests of the villagers?"
"Yes, you are trying to please the Xie family at the expense of our interests!" someone echoed.
"That's right, asking us to retreat would harm our interests!"
…
"Everyone be quiet!"
The village chief finally realized what had happened and frowned and scolded.
Out of respect for the village chief, everyone gradually quieted down.
But their expressions were clearly dissatisfied, especially those of the Lu family.
Mother Lu rushed to the front and looked at the village chief with sharp eyes.
It seemed that she would not give up unless the village chief gave a reasonable reason.
"The Xie family is indeed treated preferentially and can sit in the front!" said the village chief calmly.
The villagers were about to explode again, but the next second they were shocked by the words of the village chief: "Because the money for this movie screening was donated by the Xie family. They donated 500 yuan to the village this year!"
“…”
Not to mention that the villagers were stunned, even the Xie family members were speechless and looked towards Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.
Did you two donate money to the village to screen movies?
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi: “…” They did donate some money to the village.
This incident started because the old village chief and the village chief felt that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were potential stocks, and they wanted to help the couple now so that they could become successful in the future and also help the village.
From time to time, they would look for Xie Qingxiao to discuss the current situation and national development, and as they discussed, they naturally shifted to the development and future of Longjing Village.
They didn't clearly tell Xie Qingxiao what to do.
But after a long time, Xie Qingxiao also figured out what they meant.
He is also a native of Longjing Village, so naturally he hopes that the village will become better and better.
He is not a stingy person, although he is not yet rich enough to invest in the village.
But he still decided to do something for the village within his ability.
He discussed with Lin Xiangyi and decided that the couple would donate 500 yuan to the village before the New Year to be used as development funds for the village.
But they didn't know that the money donated by them was used to screen the film.
"The Xie family donated 500 yuan to the village? Why wasn't it made public?" someone raised an objection.
Village head: "We plan to announce this after the New Year, but every village cadre knows about it."
Everyone: “…” Then it’s true.
Mother Lu looked at Father Lu. Father Lu was one of the village cadres. Why didn't he tell her?
When Lu's mother started making a fuss just now, Lu's father was not there. By the time he came over and found out what happened, it was too late.
Facing Lu's mother's silent questioning, he simply turned his face away.
How dare he tell her? The Xie family is like her inner demon. She will explode as long as she hears that something good happened to the Xie family.
He didn't want to be implicated, so he would not take the initiative to discuss the affairs of the Xie family with her.
Who knew such a joke would happen?
"Now, let the Xie family sit in the front. Does anyone have any objections?" the village chief asked in a strong voice.
The villagers suddenly felt embarrassed.
They were watching the movie because of the Xie family. It was just that the Xie family members were allowed to sit in the front. How could they dare to object?
They were saying how generous the village cadres were this year, inviting people to show movies...
The big guys retreated silently, giving up more than two seats.
Xie family: "..."
"Sit down, sit down," the village head's wife was as complacent as if she had won a battle, and she asked Lin Xiangyi and others to sit down.
Lin Xiangyi thanked Qingxiao without hesitation and sat down first. Seeing this, others followed suit and sat down one after another.
Sitting on Lin Xiangyi's right was Xie Qingxiao, and on his left was Lin Shan. These were the positions deliberately arranged by Xie's father and mother.
At this time, Lin Shan's face was tense and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Lin Xiangyi looked at him and chuckled.
Others don’t know why Lin Shan is in a bad mood, but she knows it clearly.
Lin Shan saw the person he didn't want to see - Lin Huihui.
That’s right, Lin Huihui and Lu Dingyuan were there too, sitting with the Lu family. When Lu’s mother was making trouble just now, the two of them were watching the show from the back.
"Why don't you go say hello to your daughter?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile, with deliberate teasing and mockery in her tone.
Lin Shan came back to his senses and smiled flatteringly: "That's not my daughter. You are my only daughter."
"So heartless?" Lin Xiangyi pretended to be surprised: "I remember that only Chen Fengmei betrayed you. Lin Huihui didn't do anything to let you down, right? You used to say that Lin Huihui was the most obedient and the one who listened to you the most, and I was the most troublesome and the most ignorant. You also said that if I were half as sensible as Lin Huihui, you would be satisfied."
"..." Lin Shan laughed dryly, then said righteously: "Today is different from the past. Dad was blind at the time! I didn't know that she was vicious and had been bullying you behind your back. If I knew, Dad would have kicked her out long ago! What a person! How dare she bully my daughter!"
Lin Xiangyi: "Oh, so now you know, why don't you go slap her twice to vent your anger for me?"
