How could Xie's mother not know what her son-in-law was thinking?
However, today is a happy day, and Xie's mother didn't want to spoil the fun at this time, so she just let him make jokes.
Sister Xie looked around the box and found that there was no one else except Mother Xie and Aunt Zhao. She hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Mom, Arong and Lanjun didn't come?"
Hearing about Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun, Mother Xie slowly put away the smile on her face.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had invited all their close relatives and friends to the grand event of opening three stores in the city. Logically, their eldest brother and sister-in-law should also be invited.
However, in view of the many conflicts that had occurred between the two families before, and the presence of Xie's father and mother in the middle, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi did not take the initiative to invite Brother Xie Sun Lanjun as they did with Sister Xie and Second Sister Xie.
The decision-making power of this matter was left to Mr. and Mother Xie.
Mother Xie was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Your father and I didn't call them."
"...Mom," Sister Xie was hesitant to speak. Her parents and her brother had been quarreling for more than half a year. She thought they would reconcile soon, but she didn't expect that after more than half a year, there was no sign of reconciliation between her parents and her brother.
Thinking that Sister Xie and the others were going to persuade Xie's father and mother to take the initiative to ease the relationship with Xie Qingrong, Aunt Zhao hurriedly said, "Wenjing, don't blame your mother. Qingrong and his wife haven't come back to see your parents since the Chinese New Year, and they haven't sent any messages! They are either waiting for your parents to bow their heads, or they are clearly going to sever ties with your parents."
Aunt Zhao has been with Xie's mother every day for the past six months, and no one knows Xie's mother's feelings better than her.
Although she appears not to care about her eldest son's family, she still feels sad for him when others are not watching.
It’s pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. They are the ones who gave birth to their children, how could they not miss them?
Aunt Zhao also has children, so if this happened to her, she might not be able to explain it clearly.
But now as a bystander, she is Xie's mother's elder sister, so she naturally feels sorry for her sister and doesn't want her sister to be wronged and bow her head:
"Your parents have been making compromises for you kids for half their lives. You kids have grown up now and should be sensible. It's time for you to obey your parents. Regarding your eldest brother's matter, you should advise Qingrong instead of your parents."
Sister Xie felt ashamed. She was not trying to persuade her parents to bow their heads. When she met Xie Qingrong, she would also persuade him. She just thought that if her parents and eldest brother each took a step back, perhaps the conflict would be resolved.
But I forgot that my parents had always been willing to compromise, and this time they stood up for themselves, and they had suffered so much injustice...
Second Sister Xie felt even more ashamed. It was not because of Big Brother Xie that she felt this way; she was just putting herself in his shoes.
Her parents had been compromising for so long because of Brother Xie, so wasn't it the same for her?
Facing the contempt of her in-laws, they just pretended not to know and saw nothing, and just hoped that she could live a better life in her in-laws' house...
Thinking of this, she felt a little sad and glared at He Feng.
He Feng was glared at by his wife for no apparent reason. He didn't understand why and subconsciously asked, "Why are you glaring at me?"
"What's wrong with me glaring at you?" Second Sister Xie said with a little anger.
He Feng: “…” This woman has had many temper fights with him, but in front of Xie’s father and mother, she rarely confronts him head-on, because she is afraid that her parents will worry about her. Did she take the wrong medicine today?
"Mom~" He looked at Xie's mother with grievance and complained to her.
Mother Xie glanced at him and did not scold Second Sister Xie as she did in the past. Instead, she said earnestly, "He Feng, although Wen Qi has a hot temper, she is sensible and will not lose her temper for no reason. She is angry, and as a husband, you should understand why she is angry. Husbands and wives should understand each other!"
He Feng: “…” It seems that not only his wife took the wrong medicine today, but his mother-in-law also took the wrong medicine.
After they chatted for a while, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi came back with the waiter. They were a little surprised to see Sister Xie and Sister Xie: "Sister, brother-in-law, sister, brother-in-law, you are here?"
"Yes, come and chat with mom," Xie Erjie said with a smile. Seeing the waiter behind her carrying tables and chairs, she was very surprised: "Are they going to add more seats in the box?"
"Yes!" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile: "There are many leaders coming today, so one table may not be able to accommodate them all."
There were quite a few leaders from the meat processing factory who came to watch the ceremony today, plus the village chief and the town leaders, there were more than a dozen of them in total. If you add the Xie family, there would definitely not be enough space for them to sit at one table.
As he was speaking, Zhang Pengfei's voice came from outside: "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, the leaders are here!"
It was naturally impossible for the leaders to follow the main group in the truck. They came in the small buses of their own units, and some leaders were even picked up by small jeeps.
They are here, and Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi are going to receive them.
Lin Xiangyi quickly said to Sister Xie and Sister Xie: "Sister, we'll be busy first. Eat and drink well, we'll talk to you later."
"Okay, don't worry about us, we know what we are doing, just go and do your thing first," Sister Xie said very considerately.
After they left, Second Sister Xie called out to First Sister Xie and the others as they were preparing to go out to the lobby: "The leader will be here soon, let's not stand here stupidly, let's all go out, the banquet will probably start soon outside."
Sister Xie and brother-in-law Xie didn't think too much about it. After hearing what happened, they said something to Xie's mother and prepared to go out.
He Feng subconsciously said, "Are we going out? We're not eating in the box?"
"The box is for receiving leaders, what are we doing here?"
Mother Xie didn't understand this either. Upon hearing this, she quickly stood up and said, "Should we go out too?"
"Mom, you don't have to go out. You, Dad, and Xiao Xiangyi are a family, so you should sit in the box. And you don't have to go out, Auntie. You have to stay and take care of Kuai Lele," Second Sister Xie said hurriedly, "We have to go out. There are not many seats in this box. We have to leave enough space for the leaders."
Xie's mother seemed to understand, but not quite.
He Feng understood, but he didn't want to understand. With so many leaders present, it would be easier for him to get things done by sitting here and showing his face: "Aren't we one family with Qingxiao and his wife?"
"Your last name is Xie? We're still a family!" Second Sister Xie couldn't help but choked.
He Feng: “…”
Mother Xie, Sister Xie and others: "..."
After they all went out, Xie's mother couldn't help but laugh.
"Wenqi has finally become tough," Aunt Zhao said with a smile.
"She has always been like this, but she doesn't want us to worry in front of us," said Xie's mother.
Aunt Zhao: "Then why doesn't she endure it in front of you now?"
