If you were to ask who Xile's favorite people at home are, it would definitely be her mother and grandmother.
But the people I respect the most are definitely my older sister, Sheng Yueqing, and my older brother, Sheng Jingheng.
These two are the people he admires most.
At the same time, I'm most afraid of those two.
Because his older brother and sister really beat him, and beat him to death.
No matter who comes, it won't work.
He was beaten by his older brother and sister several times.
Therefore, in his heart, he both respected and feared Sheng Yueqing and Sheng Jingheng.
Luckily, I didn't drink just to save face, otherwise I would have been spanked again.
The pain is a minor issue; the real problem is the embarrassment of being beaten in front of so many people.
He's a man, how could he embarrass himself?
Wuyou scoffed, "If you don't want to lose face, stop bragging."
He's always bragging outside, he doesn't even know how to be humble.
Xi Le chuckled, "It's a skill for men to boast, you're too young to understand."
Wuyou rolled her eyes at him, "You're bragging again."
Sheng Jinjin and Zhang Dahua downstairs knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
The two were puzzled.
"There are clearly sounds coming from inside, why isn't anyone opening the door?"
Didn't you hear me?
Zhang Dahua thought so.
"There were probably too many people, so they didn't hear us knocking."
"Okay, I'll call upstairs."
She already had a loud voice, and immediately shouted towards the second floor, "In-laws!"
"In-laws~~"
The voice was so loud that even Old Mrs. He could hear it.
She looked at Sheng Yueqing again, asking for her instructions.
Sheng Yueqing waved her hand, "Pretend you didn't hear that, you guys continue drinking."
The He family's sons didn't hear it; they were all too drunk to hear.
The daughters-in-law of the He family, however, looked on with disdain.
"This Zhang Dahua has a thick skin, always choosing to come during mealtimes. Is he trying to freeload a meal?"
"I think so. We have so many good dishes and food today, we're saving them for the children, not for them."
"Exactly. We've been in-laws for so many years, and they've never treated us to a single meal. I'm not going to treat them either."
"Me too."
"Then let's pretend we didn't hear it."
The He family wives laughed and pretended not to hear, letting Zhang Dahua shout until she was hoarse without any response.
Zhang Dahua asked in surprise, "Why hasn't anyone responded yet?"
Could it be that they deliberately didn't open the door for them?
Sheng Jinjin thought it was possible.
"It's probably Sheng Yueqing's idea."
"Mom, Sheng Yueqing definitely doesn't want me to see Brother He. She's probably afraid that Brother He will fall in love with me if he sees me."
This won't do. She has to see He Yushen today, or all her efforts in dressing up will be for nothing.
Zhang Dahua looked around and said, "I've got it."
She went to knock on her neighbor's door.
Sure enough, the neighbor came to open the door.
Zhang Dahua said to her neighbor, "I'm looking for my in-laws, but they don't seem to hear me. Could you call them for me?"
The other person was kind-hearted and immediately went to call for Old Lady He.
"Sister He, your in-laws are here! Open the door quickly!"
Old Mrs. He frowned.
"It's that Sister Cao again. Why is she so nosy?"
I remember when we first moved into this compound, this Sister Cao would point and tell me how to arrange things and decorate my yard, which annoyed me.
How she chooses to live in her own house is her own business, but this Sister Cao just loves to meddle in other people's business.
Now they're even knocking on Zhang Dahua's door.
Now we have no choice but to open the door.
This Sister Cao is not only 'kind-hearted' but also a big mouth.
If we don't open the gate today, who knows what kind of nonsense they'll be spreading in the factory.
She looked at Sheng Yueqing.
Sheng Yueqing didn't want to make things difficult for her, so she waved her hand and said, "Go and drive."
Old Mrs. He sighed and then went to open the door.
He opened the door with a huff, "What, it's you guys again?"
In front of Sister Cao, Zhang Dahua pretended to be pitiful, "Alas, it's not that I'm lonely during the New Year, but I don't have any friends here, so I can only come to your house to make it lively."
"And look, I brought something with me."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were dressed in thin clothes, Sister Cao figured they couldn't afford to buy new clothes and felt sorry for them. So she said to Old Mrs. He, "Your in-laws are shivering from the cold. Quickly take them inside to warm them up."
"Get them some hot food and soup. They look so pitiful, so thin."
Old Mrs. He was most annoyed by Sister Cao's meddling.
He said "Oh," and told her to go back, "I'll handle it, you can go back now."
Sister Cao didn't leave, but instead warmly brought Zhang Dahua and Sheng Jinjin in.
Like a host, he said, "Come in and take a look. This courtyard is huge, isn't it? The rent is over two hundred a month."
"And these chickens, ducks and geese, aren't they plump enough? I'll have Sister He kill one for you to nourish your bodies later."
Old Mrs. He rolled her eyes at the sight.
This Sister Cao is meddling in her chickens, ducks, and geese; she can't tolerate that.
"I see that Sister Cao's chickens, ducks, and geese are quite plump. Why don't you go to her house for a meal?"
"She's a very hospitable person. If you go over for a meal, Sister Cao will definitely be very happy."
The older sister was taken aback.
Eat her family's chicken, duck, and goose?
That won't do.
She retorted, "This is your in-law, not mine. Why should you eat at my place?"
"You can't be stingy with your in-laws and then come to freeload off my chickens, ducks, and geese."
As he spoke, he started walking towards the door.
"Alright, I should go now. You guys eat by yourselves."
Old Mrs. He spat and said, "Mind your own business."
Zhang Dahua thought Sister Cao was right, "In-law, I've been calling all morning, and I'm starving. Why don't you have something to eat at your place?"
