Chapter 301: Teasing
Mr. Ye shut up reluctantly, realizing that he was acting too hastily. He smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more, but went back impatiently.
Such great news must be made known to the children first. They are all eager to try it out, and finally they have the chance to do it.
"There may be some rumors during this period, but you don't have to mind them, they will disappear soon." Old Master Huo whispered to comfort them.
He was also aware of some of the news circulating nearby.
I just feel that there is no need to step in and deal with it. This group of people are quite bold and even dare to talk about it in front of Chen Zhuyi.
Fortunately, she was not frightened, otherwise, all the men in these families would be in trouble!
"Grandpa, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year recently. There's a lot of news out there, and I have a lot to listen to."
Chen Zhu's smiling and open-minded attitude made Mr. Huo couldn't help laughing.
Children are good children. No matter what time, I always think about making them happy.
However, the Huo family's life was not so peaceful.
Although the Huo family does not have many relatives, there are always people who want to come and establish a relationship with the old man. Before the New Year, many relatives have come.
It happened that the old man was taken away by Mr. Ye. The two elders didn’t know what they were discussing and they couldn’t come back before the New Year.
The Huo family was filled with relatives and friends.
"Do you know them?" Chen Zhuyi looked at the people in the yard and asked with a forced smile.
I have to say that the gifts these people prepared when they came to the door were quite abundant, and they were pleasing to the eye.
Various candies and expensive chocolates were sent as New Year gifts, and every corner of the house was filled with them.
"I don't know him." Huo Jinzhi answered bluntly, frowning.
In previous years, he was not at home, and his parents were not there either. If the old man wanted his home to be more lively, he could only look to these distant relatives and friends.
After all, it is a friendship that we have to take seriously.
"Grandpa is not here, so you should go and greet the guests, or... call your brother back?" Chen Zhu took two steps back.
At this time of gossip, I wonder how many rumors will emerge.
She is pregnant now. If she gets sick from being irritated by a few people who talk without thinking, Huo Jinzhi will probably be worried too!
"Okay." Huo Jinzhi didn't think much about it, agreed and went into the crowd, with a bit of indomitable loneliness. I'm afraid he was not so decisive even when he was on a mission.
Chen Zhuyi hid behind and laughed.
"Jinzhi, I'm your cousin's grandmother." Mrs. Cai introduced herself with a smile, pushing her granddaughter forward: "This is your sister, the one who is five generations younger than you."
The relatives here were connected in a roundabout way. Mr. Huo wanted to have a happy New Year, so he was not on guard against them this time.
But this year his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law came back to celebrate the New Year. He naturally knew who was the most important in his heart, and he had ordered them not to come again.
No one expected that these people, relying on the friendship of several years, would come so shamelessly, bringing their juniors with them, as if they wanted to introduce Huo Jinzhi to a new partner.
"Your sister is the most sensible one. Besides, she has also attended college and will be able to find a job soon." Mrs. Cai continued to push people forward.
They had inquired about it earlier, and they knew that the person Huo Jinzhi was looking for now looked delicate and weak, had no abilities, and didn't even have a proper job.
A woman like this, even if you marry her, will just be a good-for-nothing who eats for free!
How could the girls they raised be as meticulous as them?
The rumor that Huo Jinzhi is infertile has been broken. Once Chen Zhu gives birth to the child, they can divorce. By then, the Huo family will have a bloodline and there will be no need for this useless woman.
"My Jinhua is still the best. She is a teacher. She is more gentle and considerate to children." Mrs. Wen also smiled and pushed a girl with a big pigtail forward.
There were three or four little girls present. When they saw Huo Jinzhi coming, they secretly looked at him, with a bit of girlish shyness in their black eyes.
This was a bit like the wife-selection meeting prepared for Huo Jinzhi. He felt uncomfortable watching it and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Everyone here is a virgin. What do you have to be afraid of? Can anyone eat you?" Mrs. Cai said with a smile, approached Huo Jinzhi and patted him on the shoulder twice.
"Since there's no one at home, why don't you get in touch with your sisters first? They're all excellent girls."
Chen Zhuyi was in the dark and understood their implied meaning. He couldn't help but sneer.
Do you really think she is dead?
How dare she take advantage of this opportunity to introduce a young girl to her husband?
She pushed the door open forcefully, and glanced at everyone present with a cold look, which made people shiver unexpectedly.
It is indeed a bit cold in Beijing in winter.
"So many relatives are coming today, Jinzhi, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
When Chen Zhu noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he smiled calmly and put the pressure on Huo Jinzhi.
They rarely spoke so intimately to each other.
Huo Jinzhi's eyelids twitched, and he knew she was angry, so he walked over in two steps.
The coldness he had shown towards these distant relatives just now melted away at this moment.
The warmth in his eyes and the faint smile almost made people melt completely. The girls' faces turned even redder, as if they had put themselves into the role of Chen Zhuyi.
Such a man with great military achievements in the military camp is so gentle because of her!
"Are you feeling better?" Huo Jinzhi asked in a low voice, holding Chen Zhuyi's waist and massaging her naturally without making any noise.
"They are all unimportant relatives. They all came together this year. I can handle it myself. How can I burden you?"
Everyone present heard it clearly. For a moment, sparks seemed to be spitting out of their eyes. They would not stop until Huo Jinzhi was completely burned to ashes!
"Ah, it seems that your family is short of males, and there are so many young girls. Could it be that they want you to help them find a marriage?"
Chen Zhu smiled, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and ruthlessly exposed their purpose.
She wasn't the type to fuss over small details, but since she ignored him and tried to snatch his man away, she couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Wen narrowed their eyes. They didn't expect to meet such a tough guy, but they had been in the village for so many years, how could they be scared by a little pregnant woman?
"In previous years, we were able to stay for a while when we came over. This year... Jinzhi shouldn't watch us leave, right?" Mrs. Cai spoke first.
Mrs. Wen continued, "After all, it took several days of train ride to get here. Is this how you, the Huo family, treat your guests?"
