Chapter 160 Returning to My Mother's Home
This incident actually happened in the next village. The mother-in-law looked down on her daughter-in-law, but her son insisted on marrying her.
When the bride got out of the car on the wedding day, she saw that the door of her husband's house was closed and there was a white plastic stool at the door.
You can’t enter if you don’t sit down, and you can’t enter if you don’t sit down for half an hour.
Who could stand the hot sun at noon? The groom stood at the door with the bride, trying to persuade the parents inside to open the door. The best man and bridesmaids gathered around, and the guests inside and outside the courtyard also tried to persuade them, but the door would not open.
When the groom was about to kneel down, the bride picked up the plastic stool and smashed it against the door. With a "clang", the whole world fell silent.
She cursed at the man: "Useless thing!"
She got into the wedding car with her bridesmaids and sisters without looking back - just in case, she told the driver in advance that the car could not leave unless the door was opened after dropping them off.
The groom's family was talked about as a joke for many years.
Qiu Xiangrong's parents didn't care whether they would be laughed at or not, because they thought Tao Huaxin was young-looking, petite, weak and easy to control, and they thought that the new daughter-in-law would be able to establish her influence when she first entered the family.
After the wedding car arrived, the door of the Qiu family was closed, but there was nothing at the door.
Qiu Xiangrong's mother shouted through the crack in the door, saying that she would not open the door unless she saw the bride's filial piety.
It was a hot summer day and there was not even a shade at the door. Qiu Xiangrong calmly went to the neighbor's house to borrow a few umbrellas for the bridesmaids and Tao Huaxin to use together.
Be polite before using force.
As the brother-in-law, Tao Huayu stood with his sister and watched his brother-in-law give advice in a somewhat perfunctory manner.
Some of the guests around helped to persuade them, while others just watched the fun, wondering if the scene that happened so many years ago would happen again.
A moment later, Tao Huayu saw his brother-in-law take off his suit jacket and hand it to the best man beside him. His eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
After spending such a long time together, Tao Huayu also understood what kind of personality his brother-in-law has: he looks honest and simple, but when he really encounters problems, he is very capable and will not be scared at all.
The other best man had a loudspeaker in his hand at some point, a loudspeaker with a recording and playback function. When Qiu Xiangrong handed over his suit jacket, he gave him the loudspeaker.
The weather was too hot, and Qiu Xiangrong didn't bother to say anything. He just pressed the play button and put the speaker on the ground.
The contents were all recorded by him in advance. There was no sensational words, only straightforward and objective descriptions.
Everything he had experienced in this family since he was a child was summarized in just a few words. The focus of this recording was all on the tricks his parents had played during the preparations for the wedding.
If you have ever met a hawker selling things on a tricycle, or a scrap collector, then you must know how powerful this horn is.
At this moment, Qiu Xiangrong turned up the volume to the maximum. Everyone present could hear it clearly, especially the last sentence: "I didn't spend a penny of your money on my wedding, so my wedding has nothing to do with you. I'll count to three, please open the door."
As the number "three" fell, there was the sound of glass breaking.
For this kind of self-built house with a yard in the countryside, generally two rooms will be reserved on both sides of the yard gate.
For example, in Qiu Xiangrong's house, there is a wing room to the east of the courtyard gate and a kitchen to the west. There are usually no valuables in these two rooms, so there is no need to install anti-theft windows.
When they built the house, they took lighting into consideration, so the windows were made big enough and the windowsills were not high.
Before the wedding, Qiu Xiangrong had a premonition that his parents might do something like this. He warned them in advance, but it was obvious that his parents did not listen.
Qiu Xiangrong's original idea was that if they refused to listen and opened the door no matter what he said, he would climb in through the window and would not let Tao Huaxin suffer this injustice no matter what.
But in order to guard against this, his parents locked the windows as well.
Qiu Xiangrong tried both sides but couldn't open it, so he picked up a brick from the roadside and smashed it directly at the window glass.
With a "crash", glass shattered all over the floor.
Qiu Xiangrong climbed in very easily, went around to the inside of the gate and opened it.
When he climbed over the window, Tao Huayu rushed over, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted at him with a smile: "May you have peace and prosperity every year, and may you have this day every year, and may you have this day every year--"
As soon as the door opened, he called out, "Come in, bride."
The people from Taojia Village immediately joined in the commotion, bypassing the bride and groom and squeezing into the courtyard, manually clearing a path for them to welcome guests.
Qiu Xiangrong's mother still didn't give up. She went to knock on the door of the newlyweds early the next morning and asked Qiu Xiangrong to pay for the glass. She also wanted to set some rules for Tao Huaxin.
In a rage, Qiu Xiangrong packed his suitcase and took Tao Huaxin back to Taojia Village, where they stayed for a week.
His parents once again became the joke of the village. Whenever they went out during that period, they would be teased: "What's the point of having more sons? Two of them are not at home, and one is going to marry into another family. When they get old, they won't even have anyone to serve them."
After hearing this, Qiu Xiangrong sighed and said, "Why didn't I think of it at the time? Why did you have to marry him? I should have just married into the family, otherwise they wouldn't have had the chance to do that."
After a week of living there, Qiu Xiangrong showed no intention of returning home, so Tao's father and mother asked the couple to return home immediately: "What kind of nonsense is this? How can a married daughter bring her husband back to her parents' home the day after her wedding and stay there for a week?"
Qiu Xiangrong had no choice but to discuss with Tao Huaxin and decided to go back and stay for two days before coming back.
Unexpectedly, the couple went back after breakfast and came back again just at lunch time.
After hearing the reason, Tao's mother was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When Qiu Xiangrong's mother saw the couple coming back, she immediately asked, "Hey, isn't this the son-in-law of the Tao family? A son who is married off is like spilled water, why are you coming back?"
Without saying a word, Qiu Xiangrong took Tao Huaxin and left. He didn't even have time to put down the things in his hands and took them back with him.
His mother was so angry that she went back to her room, fell on the bed, covering her chest and crying “Ouch, ouch.”
At night, Qiu Xiangrong received a call from a neighbor saying that his mother was in the hospital. He rode his electric bike to the town calmly and took a look at the examination results. There was nothing wrong with her and she was healthy.
From then on, his mother learned this trick. Whenever she wanted to find Qiu Xiangrong for something, she would "fall sick" in bed; when she was angry about the gossip in the village, she would also "fall sick" in bed.
If Qiu Xiangrong doesn't come back, she will never get better.
Therefore, for a long time after their marriage, Qiu Xiangrong would only take Tao Huaxin back to stay for two days after receiving the notice of "falling ill".
