Zhao Mei, who was pushing the cart, looked from a distance and saw her aunt Zhao Danzhen, whom she had not seen for a long time, pushing a shopping cart with her cousin who looked impatient.
I felt sick in my heart, but I didn't want to disturb my mother's shopping mood, so I didn't say anything and just pushed the cart through the shelves on the other side.
But before I even walked out of the vegetable area, I heard a surprised voice from behind.
"Oh! Isn't this my eldest niece? And my sister-in-law!"
Then came the harsh and rapid rumbling sound of a cart.
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Danzhen caught up with Zhao Mei with a shopping cart at the speed of wind.
When Zhao Mei heard her aunt's voice, her eyes almost rolled to the sky, but there was nothing she could do.
It was just before the New Year and the mall was packed. My aunt's voice alone had attracted a lot of attention.
Anyway, she doesn't know where her family lives now, and even if she knows, she can't get in. She might as well pretend she doesn't know to avoid making a big fuss and making a fool of herself.
Ye Danqin, who was standing next to Zhao Mei, also realized at this time why her daughter pulled her away. Thinking about what these relatives had done, she was also very angry, but due to the occasion, she could only deal with it for the time being.
"Oh, sister-in-law, happy new year. And this nephew is really getting stronger and stronger. I wonder how his relationship with Xiaoyu is going?"
Ye Danqin smiled politely, and at the same time did not forget to greet people in a touching way.
This Xiaoyu was the girl that Zhao Danzhen’s son had been dating before. Because her son didn’t have his own house, the arranged marriage was eventually called off.
The main reason why Zhao Danzhen was so eager and shameless to come to Zhao Zhengzhen's house was because of this matter.
Zhao Mei listened to her mother's sarcastic smile and laughed secretly in her heart, but she still looked like she didn't want to see her face at all.
The entire conversation atmosphere was extremely awkward.
However, Zhao Danhong seemed to know nothing. She still had a smiling expression on her slightly plump face and tried to get close to him enthusiastically.
"Oh, that kid Xiaoyu is so snobbish and short-sighted. She thinks our Dabao has no money now, but with her future, she will definitely regret it later. Now I don't like her anyway, so let them split up."
"And speaking of this, our Dabao can't compare to my niece, who is rich and beautiful. Which parent wouldn't be envious? Coincidentally, a friend of mine introduced a boy who graduated from a top-tier university and is a perfect match for my niece..."
These words made Zhao Mei roll her eyes in her heart. It was as if the other person didn't want her anymore, and yet she was asked to break up with him. She was really saying black out of white and urging others to get married. She didn't know her own weight.
And what about this cousin of mine? He's not good at anything, never satisfied with what he eats, a grown man who just stays at home after graduation, not even doing odd jobs, gambling, playing cards, drinking, smoking, all the five vices.
Xiaoyu felt like she had escaped from her misery after breaking up with him, yet she still looked down on others. What a great way to describe it.
"That's enough. It's New Year's Day. Try to be a little more kind with your words to avoid overspending at the beginning of next year. That would be so unlucky." Zhao Mei couldn't help it any longer and stepped forward to stop Zhao Danzhen from making up any more lies.
Zhao Danzhen was interrupted in the middle of her words, and was spoken to in such a harsh way that veins on her face were visibly popping up, but her smile remained firm.
"Isn't this for your own good? You're almost graduating from college, and you haven't found a date yet. This guy is so handsome, reliable, and caring. I can bring him home to show you before the New Year."
The more Zhao Mei listened, the more angry she became and she rolled her eyes. She really didn't want to communicate with her crazy relative. Who would come to her house for a blind date?
Was the blind date fake, and the address inquiry real? At this point, I should be thankful that I took precautions and didn't let my parents tell anyone my home address, saving me a lot of trouble.
"That's not necessary. Judging from your relationship with my uncle, I really don't agree with your judgment. I'm afraid I'll be scared and jump over the fire pot in the middle of the night on New Year's Day."
After being repeatedly rejected, even a thick-skinned person like Zhao Danzhen couldn't control her expression and her smile faded a lot.
"You kid, isn't it all for your own good? Such a good partner is hard to find even with a lantern nowadays. When we were young, they were very popular. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again..."
Zhao Danzhen was still chattering, and Zhao Mei was already annoyed to the point of having little patience left.
"Aunt, you think it's good, right? You like him, right? Then go and marry him. I see you really don't like my uncle. Remarry in your later years and live happily in the second half of your life. I will definitely give you a gift of ninety cents to help you have a long and happy marriage. Okay, we'll leave today. Don't forget to send the invitations for your wedding."
After Zhao Mei finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Danzhen's ashen face without any fluctuation. She turned around, picked up Ye Danqin, pushed the cart and left.
It was a good shopping trip, but they encountered such unlucky people and unlucky things. Zhao Mei and Ye Danqin completely lost the desire to shop. They picked up the things they needed in one go, checked out and left.
Because of this incident, they were even unable to buy vegetables and frozen products. In the end, the two had to go to another Xinbaifen store to buy everything.
When they got home, although Zhao Mei and Ye Danqin were still very angry, they tacitly agreed not to tell Zhao Zhengzhen about it.
After all, no matter how disgusting Zhao Danzhen is, firstly, she is Zhao Zhengzhen's sister by blood, and secondly, she hasn't done anything yet. After all, she doesn't even know her home address, so there's no need to tell it out and make Zhao Zhengzhen uncomfortable during the New Year.
In the end, the mother and daughter took out their pent-up anger on the meat they bought. The dumpling filling was chopped finely and evenly, and the innocent father could only occasionally get a slap in the eye or have his ears tinnitus from the sound of the meat being chopped.
After buying the New Year's goods, the days went by quickly and it was New Year's Day. The family of three, including a housekeeper, a total of four people, spent a comfortable Spring Festival in the brand new house.
And I don’t know if it’s because the confidentiality work was done well or the property fees were not wasted, but Zhao Danzhen and Zhao Danhong, the two top relatives, did not come to the house to make trouble, which made Zhao Mei feel relieved.
After all, it would be embarrassing to come to the door to make trouble. Although there are no neighbors now, people are still somewhat afraid that Zhao Jing will embarrass their family when he throws the person out, so it is better not to come.
There are only a few days left in the winter vacation after the Spring Festival. Although according to common sense, Zhao Mei, as a student in the second half of her senior year, should be able to rest at home for a while, Zhao Jing's reminder reminded Zhao Mei of her house in the capital waiting for acceptance and her employees waiting for training.
I had no choice but to pack my suitcase with tears in my eyes. As I did so, I pondered bitterly: Why do we work at all? What does work bring to humanity? I racked my brain, but I couldn't figure it out. My head was spinning.
In the end, he could only painfully make a vow to retire immediately after completing this crappy task of the system. Then he reluctantly said goodbye to his parents who were seeing him off and boarded the plane back to the capital.
