Chapter 223 "We're a Family Anyway"
Now hearing her mother say this, Ji Lianqi found it even more bizarre.
"Oh, stop beating me, that's enough." At this time, Ye Ning hid behind Ji Lianqi to avoid Ye Shuncheng's broom, "Old Ji, help me."
"Hun boy, you are already thirty years old!" Ye Shuncheng pretended to be angry and glared at Ye Ning, "You are not as steady, stable and reliable as Lian Qi at all! Humph."
"Okay, okay, stop swearing." Li Yanmei spoke up at the right time to stop them, "You guys should hurry inside. It's cold outside. I'm going to make lunch first!"
Ye Shuncheng then threw away the broom and looked at Ji Lianqi with an awkward smile: "Don't worry, don't worry!"
Ji Lianqi pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay."
They usually had sweet potato porridge for lunch at home. In order to entertain his son-in-law and Ye Ning, who came home once a year, Ye Shuncheng went to the village's pig slaughtering family early in the morning and bought ten pounds of meat and two pork elbows.
Save the pork elbow for braised dishes or stewed soybeans in the evening, and simply stir-fry a few dishes for lunch.
Before we finished lunch, Ye Shunming suddenly came to visit.
He said Ye Ning was back and came to see him specially.
A few people who were eating saw Ye Shunming push the door open so blatantly.
As soon as Ye Shunming saw Ji Lianqi, he recognized him at a glance as the battalion commander Ji who called Ye Shuncheng "Dad" in front of everyone after the flood!
"Oh my god, Shuncheng, you didn't even tell me your son-in-law was here. We're a family after all, it's not too much for them to have a meal together!"
Having said that, he found a seat and sat down.
Ye Ning raised his eyebrows, called him "Uncle", and said nothing else.
Li Yanmei turned around and went in to get a set of bowls and chopsticks.
"Ji, Captain Ji, right? I'm Ye Ying's uncle!" Ye Shunming began to get close to Ji Lianqi, "Just follow suit and call me uncle!"
"Uncle." Ji Lianqi also showed his courtesy and called out in a light tone.
He could see that his father-in-law's family didn't seem to have a good relationship with this so-called uncle.
Ye Shunming nodded with a smile and found a few packs of cigarettes on the table. He took a pack and started smoking without asking.
Then he looked at Ye Shuncheng who was silent: "It is said that Ye Ning brought a comrade with poor eyesight home. It turns out that his son-in-law is here!"
"What's so good about this?"
Ye Shuncheng stared at the pack of cigarettes that Ye Shunming took without permission and felt a little annoyed.
This was bought for him by his son-in-law, and he can't bear to smoke it!
Ye Shunming noticed Ye Shuncheng's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and said in a sly voice: "We are all family, is it okay for me to smoke a pack of your cigarettes? I still have several packs!"
Ji Lianqi frowned slightly: "Uncle, although we are relatives, wouldn't it be better to ask before taking it?"
Ye Shunming laughed and continued to question Ye Shuncheng: "Why, your son-in-law has returned but you don't want to let anyone know about it, and you're still hiding it!"
Ye Shuncheng couldn't help but look at Ye Ning, who immediately understood and said, "Uncle, what you said is true. I was afraid of making too much noise. He will be back to the team tomorrow and won't stay for a few days, so I didn't say anything."
"Oh my god! Isn't this funny!" Ye Shunming suddenly remembered something, put down his chopsticks and slapped his thigh: "If Chen Daquan's family knew that the guy they originally liked was actually Yingzi's man, then...then how embarrassed they would be!"
Ye Ning: "So uncle, please don't tell anyone about this."
"Oh! I'm not that talkative." Ye Shunming waved his hands confidently, and suddenly said seriously:
"Shuncheng, Yanmei, can you two lend me some money? My son has recently met a girl and likes her very much, so he wants to settle down with her. He is short of money after buying three turns and one ring, but the girl insisted on having these before letting him marry her!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four people in the room changed.
"I heard that Yingzi has made some money recently, and she has even applied for a phone for you guys. I don't need to borrow much, just a few hundred yuan."
When they heard that they were here to borrow money again, Ye Shuncheng and Li Yanmei looked unhappy.
Ye Ning asked, "Uncle, after the flood, who still has money?"
"Yingzi was worried that something might happen to the two elderly people at home, so she spent money to install a telephone. Besides, the money was not all paid by her, it was supported by my brother-in-law!"
Now that things have come to this, the uncle wouldn't be too embarrassed to borrow money from his nephew's husband, right?
However, Ye Ning still underestimated how shameless Ye Shunming was.
Ye Shunming turned to look at Ji Lianqi and asked in a flattering manner, "Nephew-in-law, can you lend some to your uncle?"
Ji Lianqi was stunned. He didn't expect that this so-called uncle would borrow money from him.
They had only met once.
As soon as Ye Shunming finished speaking, he immediately annoyed Ye Shuncheng and his wife.
They were already embarrassed that he had come to borrow money in front of his son-in-law, and now he was actually asking his son-in-law to lend him money!
How shameful!
Ye Shuncheng's face darkened. "Shunming, why do you always come to our house to borrow money? How can our family be better than yours?"
"That's right!" Li Yanmei echoed, "Last time Yingzi came back, your son beat someone up and asked for compensation. This time my son-in-law finally came over, and you came to borrow money again!"
"It's fine if you just borrowed money, but you even lent it to my son-in-law. You're so shameless!"
Li Yanmei has been tolerating Ye Shunming's family for a long time, as they have come to borrow money time and again.
I wanted to just bear with it, but she had the audacity to borrow money from her son-in-law. What a shame!
"Hey? Yanmei, what you said..." Ye Shunming suddenly felt embarrassed, "If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it! Is there any need to say such harsh words? Besides, I'm asking my nephew's husband to borrow it, not you!"
Then, he said in a righteous manner: "No matter what, my nephew's husband is a battalion commander. It's impossible that he can't even come up with a few hundred yuan? He even installed a phone!"
Ye Ning on the side was speechless and couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He was about to speak back.
But Ji Lianqi frowned and said, "Uncle, whether I can take out this money seems to have little to do with you."
"Your son is so old, but he can't even come up with so much money. It seems unreasonable. What do you think, uncle?" He deliberately emphasized the word uncle.
After saying that, Ji Lianqi suddenly took out two thick envelopes from his pocket.
This was something he had prepared long ago for his parents.
"Mom and Dad, this is a little gift for you. Please accept it. It's not much."
There was a full five hundred yuan in the envelope.
Ye Shuncheng and Li Yanmei were flattered and hurriedly pushed the money back to Ji Lianqi: "No, no, take it back! We don't need it!"
"I haven't been able to help you in any way, so just accept them." Ji Lianqi pushed two more envelopes in front of the old couple.
Ye Shuncheng pushed it back again.
Seeing these three people pushing each other back and forth like this, Ye Shunming said shamelessly: "Since you all have the money, just lend it to me first!"
