Chapter 80 Grandmother
Hu Xiner patted her face to let the heat go away, but a chill came from beside her.
Erdong happily showed off, "How is it? Does it look good on me? Doesn't it make me look particularly manly?"
Mu Qing was furious that Erdong was showing off his masculinity in front of him.
Even stealing a wife is not so blatant!
Seeing that Mu Qing's eyes were fixed on Erdong's clothes, Hu Xiner was a little confused, and then embarrassed.
Mu Qing, this guy, doesn't think that the clothes were bought by her for Erdong, right?
She whispered to Mu Qing, "Erdong's new clothes were bought with his salary. It has nothing to do with me."
"Really?" Mu Qing took her hand, interlocked their fingers, and declared his sovereignty.
Hu Xin'er asked with a wry smile, "Erdong, where did you buy your new clothes? How much did it cost?"
"I bought it from Sister Li!" Erdong didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them. After all, Mu Qing's jealousy was too tricky.
Mu Qing then proudly pulled Hu Xiner out, leaving Erdong with a mouthful of dog food.
Hu Xiner couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Mu Qing is really becoming more and more overbearing, she should let him read less of the comics she draws in the future, otherwise he will learn bad things.
The three of them arrived at Sun Cai's house. The Sun family's house was naturally not as shabby as that of ordinary people, but it also did not have the temperament of a nouveau riche.
The landscape courtyard is extremely elegant, with exquisite furnishings and hanging calligraphy and paintings.
Inside the mansion, even the servants were polite. After learning of their identities, the old housekeeper welcomed them into the house as guests with a smile.
Sun's mother and Sun Cai had been waiting inside for a long time.
Sun's mother was a lady of great nobility. Her complicated bun was flanked by round flower hairpins, and the most striking feature was a gold-threaded jade hairpin.
When he saw the three people, he smiled and said, "I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guests."
Hu Xiner didn't expect that there would be such a dignified lady in such a small town, and she was the mother of Sun Cai, who seemed to be out of tune at other times.
During the conversation, I learned that Sun's mother's family was from Beijing, and Sun's father met when he went to Beijing for business.
Later, Sun's mother married into this town, but unfortunately, Sun's father died early, leaving only Sun's mother and son.
Daoyuan Sun was Sun's father's younger brother. He took good care of the orphan and his widowed mother, which allowed Sun's mother to maintain the demeanor of a noble lady even when she was far away from home.
Although Sun Cai monopolized the bookstore business in the town, he did not commit any crime.
In fact, if you want to make money quickly, a bookstore is not the best choice. Daoyuan Sun wanted his nephew to be exposed to some literary atmosphere, so he bought the bookstore in the town for him.
Who would have thought that the slicked-back Daoist Sun was so devoted to his family? Hu Xin'er sighed, thinking it was impossible to judge a person by just one side.
Mother Sun exchanged pleasantries with the three of them for a while. She knew her son's character and had some suspicions that it was a trap set by someone else. However, as soon as the three of them entered the room, although she did not show it on her face, most of her doubts were dispelled in her heart.
Just because Hu Xiner's eyes were sincere and honest, Mu Qing could tell at a glance that she was different from the ordinary people, and Erdong was even more upright.
The following conversation further confirmed her point of view. She took a sip of tea and her expression suddenly became stern.
"Sun Cai, kneel down!"
Sun Cai knelt on the ground with a thud, and then asked curiously, "Mom, what happened?"
"I originally thought you were old enough that I couldn't control you too much, but I didn't expect that I would just indulge you and make you act even more recklessly!" Sun's mother said sternly, "Look at you now. You're not good at either literature or martial arts, and you've even learned to use some despicable means to harm others!"
Sun Cai knelt on the ground. He was a little ashamed at first, but now he dared not say a word.
His mother had been so kind during the conversation just now that he thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, the storm has just begun.
Mother Sun continued to ask: "Do you know why I asked you to kneel down?"
"Because my son has evil intentions, he has brought shame upon me." Sun Cai hung his head. "It's all my fault. He has brought disgrace upon the Sun family."
Hu Xiner and Mu Qing looked at each other. They couldn't figure out what Madam Sun was up to, so they decided to wait and see.
Everyone knew that Sun Cai was almost beaten with a stick. He had come to apologize and invited them to a dinner. Logically, he had shown great courtesy.
Why do they have to punish Sun Cai in front of them now?
Thinking about it from a dark perspective, if Madam Sun couldn't bear to give up the bookstore, it's not impossible that she wanted to use punishment to force Hu Xin'er to give up her shares.
Mother Sun said sternly, "You are right, but only half right. The person responsible for this matter is not our Sun family, nor is it me, your mother. It is Boss Hu."
Sun Cai turned around silently: "I'm sorry, Boss Hu, I'm causing you trouble."
"It's okay, it's all over." Hu Xiner waved her hands awkwardly. As a modern person, she was not used to seeing others kneeling in front of her.
I'm so embarrassed now that I'm about to dig a fantasy castle out of my toes.
"Look how magnanimous he is." Sun's mother was also helpless. How could her son, who had been strictly disciplined since childhood and grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, become like this?
She turned to Hu Xin'er and held her hand: "Boss Hu, Sun Cai committed such a crime because of my poor discipline. I apologize to you as well."
Sun Cai was horrified: "Mom, it's all my fault! It's all because of my son's disobedience."
He crawled a few steps on his knees. "Boss Hu, I was terribly wrong. When you were selling comics at your stall, I actually got you jailed. That was my first mistake. Later, when you opened the Muxin Comics Shop, I was so jealous that I even pirated your books and threw dirty water on you. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Sun's mother was obviously extremely distressed: "If Boss Hu hadn't exposed this matter, who knows how much more terrible mistakes you would have made in the future! No one will take care of you now that your father is gone. Do you know that such actions will actually kill your own uncle?"
Seeing his mother's sadness, Sun Cai also shed tears: "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! From now on, I will never dare to do such a conscienceless thing again!"
The mother and son were extremely moved, and the other three did not dare to say a word.
Sun's mother scolded Sun Cai from beginning to end and shouted, "Butler Zhang, quickly bring the bamboo whip over here. I want to enforce the family rules!"
Hearing the words "family discipline", Sun finally burst into tears: "No, mother!"
Hu Xin'er hurriedly stopped her, "Madam Sun, Sun Cai has truly repented. He's not a bad person by nature, and he never intended to deliberately sabotage my business."
Only after she spoke well of Sun Cai did Sun's mother's emotions gradually calm down.
As they were talking, a graceful woman walked in: "Cousin, what happened?"
Sun's mother was just about to introduce this woman to Hu Xiner.
Unexpectedly, when the woman saw Mu Qing, she shouted in disbelief, "Lu Yunjue?"
