Shen Qiusheng is actually quite embarrassed because he has three sisters.
One was married off and taken away to another place. The other ran away and disappeared long ago.
I only have one third sister who is married nearby, but she hasn't been in contact with her family for six or seven years. The last time her third sister's husband beat her, her father scolded her at home for half a year.
What should I do now that my fiancée wants to establish a sister-in-law relationship?
I could only go to Chen Chunhua and beg her to come for dinner.
Zhong Hui's status naturally made her superior in the Shen family. Even Shen Laicai had no objection to her request. After all, it was just a meal, and he had to marry the city girl first.
Once you enter the house, you will be his daughter-in-law, and they can do whatever they want with you.
Chen Chunhua was pregnant with Lin Shumei at the time and was quite hungry. When she heard there was a feast, even if the party was from her own family, she only thought for three seconds, took Lin Guoqing with her, ate, wiped her mouth, and left.
Asking her to give a gift? Impossible, no money. Or else let Lin Guoqing stay there and work for them. It all depends on whether they dare to do it.
The result was that I not only had a full meal for free, but also watched a lively event.
This time it was mainly Shen Xiasheng who was unhappy with his parents' favoritism towards their younger brother. He had a dark face throughout the whole process and acted as if anyone who spoke to him owed him tens of thousands of dollars, even if it was Zhong Hui's parents who toasted him.
Zhong Hui's parents were cadres in the city. If their daughter hadn't been so confused, they would never have thought that they would be toasting an uneducated peasant in such a rural corner.
They were educated and well-educated, so they thought of taking the initiative to toast their daughter's uncle. But isn't this toast just a formal opening? Shouldn't Chen Xiasheng quickly stand up, lower his glass to clink with them, and say something auspicious?
Chen Xiasheng didn't even bother to say anything auspicious. He didn't even stand up. He casually held a bowl in one hand, touched it to Zhong Hui's father's wine glass, and then finished it.
The bowl was placed on the table with a clang, and the whole scene fell silent.
Chen Chunhua was chewing on a chicken drumstick that Lin Guoqing had snatched from her at the time. When she heard the noise, she looked over and her eyes lit up. Fight! Fight!
There was no need for a fight. The Zhong family were all cultured people, so how could they fight? And it was such a happy day, so he just snorted coldly, turned around and sat back at his table, not even offering the next glass of wine.
Shen Qiusheng was very angry. His elder brother was really getting worse and worse. He didn't even give his younger brother some face in such a day. Was he going to split up the family?
Shen Laicai also stepped forward and gently scolded his eldest son, but Shen Xiasheng acted as if he didn't hear it. He turned around and cursed Qi Xiuyun, who was sitting next to him and taking care of the three children while they ate.
"Are you fucking blind? You didn't see that your man didn't even have any wine in his bowl! Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know how to do! If you fucking ate less, your family would have more money, and you wouldn't have to marry into a family with only two quilts, making people look down on you!"
As he said this, he raised his hand and hit Qi Xiuyun on the back of the head with a "bang".
Qi Xiuyun's face slammed down on the table, crushing her youngest son, who was eating on her lap. The bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, startling him and sending him into a fit of tears. A slightly older boy and girl nearby also began crying for their mothers.
Zhong Hui's face flushed with anger, and she turned to Chen Qiusheng and raged, "What does your brother want to do? Is he unhappy with me and wants to ruin our wedding?"
Shen Qiusheng was also very angry and went over to confront Shen Xiasheng, but he was not as quick as his father.
Chen Laicai was in high spirits today, not for any reason, but because the wedding banquet was paid for by Zhong Hui's parents, and they had no other requirements, just to make it lively and at least not to make their relatives feel shabby. And Zhong Hui had brought a dowry with her when she married into the family, which was more than just two quilts.
She married into the Shen family with a sewing machine and a bicycle. This was the first time in the village that anyone married a daughter or a daughter. Shen Laicai felt as if his ancestors' graves were filled with pride.
So he invited not only his own relatives but also some prominent people in the village to the banquet. He wanted to earn the most face.
As a result, Chen Xiasheng, this little bastard, is so ungrateful that he doesn't even smile in such an occasion and keeps cursing. Isn't he just asking for a beating?
Shen Laicai rushed forward and punched the half-drunk Shen Xiasheng, knocking him to the ground.
Everyone around stood up in fright, except Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing, who were a bit busy, one eating and the other picking up food.
Chen Xiasheng rolled on the ground and got up, then fought back. An old man and a middle-aged man, fighting in such a festive occasion at home, shocked the people around them.
Chen Chunhua ignored the two people fighting and quarreling there, as she had grown tired of seeing them since she was a child. Instead, she was looking at her sister-in-law.
After not seeing her for so many years, Qi Xiuyun was truly reduced to a skeleton. Her face had just been smashed against the table, and her forehead was instantly swollen and red. But she didn't bother to care about her own injuries. Instead, she held her youngest son, rocking and patting him, comforting him while freeing up one hand to comfort the other two.
"Mom is fine, don't cry, don't cry..."
Even when she was coaxing her child, her face was numb. She showed neither anger nor sadness towards her husband's domestic violence regardless of time and place, nor did she show any love or care for her child crying loudly, nor did she care about the fight raging behind her.
Qi Xiuyun was like a puppet, instinctively doing what she thought she should do.
Chen Chunhua felt uncomfortable in her stomach and couldn't eat anymore. She put down her chopsticks and turned to Lin Guoqing and said,
"let's go."
Lin Guoqing didn't say anything, he just helped her up. When they were not far from the door, Chen Chunhua looked back.
Oh, Shen Qiusheng also joined the battlefield, and the table he was sitting on was also overturned.
Chen Chunhua touched her belly and thought to herself that they had escaped in time.
***
The tractor rumbled and brought Chen Chunhua back to the Shen family in Zhenhe Village. The earthen walls and broken tiles were just the same as the year she left, only a little more broken than that year.
Chen Chunhua followed Jin Fengxian slowly, not in the least bit anxious to go back to her parents' home, but just wanting to watch the fun.
It seems that at this time in her previous life, someone came to call her back, but the whole family was still immersed in grief at that time. Chen Chunhua probably replied with "get out", and Lin Guoqing chased the person away with a broom.
This time she agreed to come back because she wanted to see what was going on.
There were sounds of thrashing and shouting at the door, as well as sobbing and wailing. It was very lively.
A young wife was standing at the gate, cursing at her mother in a hoarse voice.
