When everyone heard Lu Shishen's words, they were all stunned and stared at him with shock and weirdness on their faces.
Is this still the same Lu Shishen who was silent before and didn’t say a word even when being beaten?
It seems that marriage can really change a person. He has become a man with flesh and blood, emotions, and knows how to protect his wife.
Compared to everyone's shock, Ma Yuejie's face was burning with embarrassment.
Since taking over his grandfather's job, Ma Yuejie has become a capable man in the eyes of his relatives. When the villagers meet his relatives, they always praise his abilities and are polite to him. They even ask him to write village couplets during the New Year.
I never thought that one day I would be outshined by my cousin who was regarded as a fool by everyone.
That would have been fine, but Lu Shishen actually kicked him out in public. How was that any different from slapping him in the face on the street?
Ma Yuejie was so angry that he slammed the table and pointed at Lu Shishen's nose and questioned him.
"Lu Shishen, you're driving us away for a woman? You don't even want your relatives anymore just for that woman. You want to cut off all ties with us, right?"
"The woman you are talking about is the wife who will accompany me for the rest of my life." Lu Shishen had an indifferent expression. He was not angry, but his momentum directly crushed Ma Yuejie.
"I am still your brother." Ma Yuejie roared with red face, "Who do you think you are? This family is still managed by your uncle, aunt and cousin. It is not your turn."
Ma Yuejie picked up the wine cup in front of him and prepared to smash it on the ground, trying to vent his anger in this way, but it was more like he wanted to use this method to add to his majesty and increase his deterrent effect.
But as soon as he raised his wrist, it was restrained by a huge force. The piercing pain went straight to his forehead along the nerves, and his expression was distorted with pain.
"Ouch... Lu Shishen, what are you doing? Do you still want to hit someone?"
"This is the Lu family, not the Ma family. It's not your turn to smash the bowls and plates here."
After Lu Shishen finished speaking in a cold and calm voice, he took the wine cup from Ma Yuejie's hand and placed it on the table.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
Ma Hao is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He was so scared that he almost buried his head under the table. He always felt that Lu Shishen's eyes were like a monster that wanted to eat people. It was too scary.
Anyway, he is thick-skinned. As long as Lu Shishen doesn't chase him away by name, he will sit here shamelessly and pretend that he is not being chased away.
Today's meal is so sumptuous, with wine and food, it would be a shame not to eat. He has never eaten so much in his life.
Ma Guilin quickly stood up to smooth things over and pressed Ma Yuejie down on the stool. "Yuejie, don't be impulsive. Shi Shen is your cousin, and as his brother you should be more tolerant. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk it over. Don't make a scene and let others laugh at you."
Ma Yuejie's face was distorted with pain. He touched his wrist and gasped.
Is he the one who cares about it now? It is Lu Shishen who wants to beat him.
After persuading Ma Yuejie, Ma Guilin went to persuade Lu Shishen, "Yuejie may have drunk too much and said something inappropriate. Today is also the day for you and Nian Nian to have your wedding, so don't hurt the relationship."
Lu Zhengyi also persuaded, "Your cousin may have drunk a little too much, let it go this time. If he says something inappropriate again, let alone you, I will not agree."
These words were obviously meant for the Ma Yuejie brothers to hear. If the Ma family wanted to cause trouble in the Lu family, he would not agree. Otherwise, outsiders would think that the Lu family was easy to bully and that there was no one left in the family.
Lu Qingyuan drank a little too much with his uncle and his uncle, and his brain became dull. Only now did he realize what had happened. He wanted to say a few words to persuade them, but before he could open his mouth, he started to vomit. He ran outside the courtyard wall, held on to the wall and vomited all over the floor.
As the head of the family, Lu Guozhi didn't say a word from beginning to end, but from his expression, he was obviously in a good mood.
Yesterday, the Ma family beat his eldest son, and today Ma Yuejie was humiliated, which was considered as venting his anger.
After being a coward in my wife's family for my entire life, today I can finally stand up straight.
In the main room, Niu and Cao thought that a fight was about to break out outside, and worried that their son would suffer, so they wanted to go out to take a look. However, they found that it was quiet outside again.
She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to continue eating. Her son was being suppressed by Lu Shishen outside, and she now disliked Yang Niannian.
He said sarcastically, "They have been brothers since they were young and have never had a quarrel. Now, I don't know what evil wind has come. Some of them have only been married for two days and have caused chaos in the family and the brothers are at odds with each other."
Yang Niannian would not indulge her, and she sarcastically said, "The conflict now arises because the people who used to be tolerant are no longer willing to indulge others. Some people still want to bully others like before, but when they find that they can't bully others, they become desperate and do nothing."
Yang Niannian could see Lu Shishen's situation at home.
He used to be a noncompetitive and indifferent person, but in everyone's eyes, this was the behavior of a fool. They all thought he was mentally ill and looked down on him.
Now that he is more capable, the contrast is too great. Some people feel unbalanced and want to find things to prove that they are better than Lu Shishen, but they end up hitting a wall.
You deserve it.
Ma Yuejie and Ma Haodi together could not beat Lu Shishen, so Yang Niannian was not worried at all. She sat in the main room and watched the excitement outside as if she was watching a thrilling drama.
Niu Hecao had little education and limited comprehension ability, so she couldn't understand the confusing conversation. However, she could tell that Yang Niannian was calling her son a dog.
He immediately glared at Yang Niannian and asked, "Who are you calling a dog?"
If her son is a dog, then what is she? What is her husband? What is her youngest son?
Isn't this calling her whole family dogs?
Yang Niannian looked at her with amusement, "You are quite understanding of human nature. I just said a few words and you knew what to do."
Niu and Cao were stunned for a moment, and were trying to carefully analyze whether this sentence was an insult or a compliment, when Lu Xiuhe and Lu Xiujuan quickly spoke up to smooth things over and suppress her anger.
Lu Xiujuan picked up a large piece of fish for her and said, "Nian Nian didn't mean that. Calm down and eat your food. The fish is good today. You don't usually get to eat such good food during the Chinese New Year. Eat more."
The cow and the grass were being eaten, distracting him from the topic and he forgot to think deeply about what Yang Niannian said.
After eating two bites of fish, she started chatting with Lu Xiuhe and Lu Xiujuan, "Is there a girl in your village who is suitable for my Haozi? He is 25 years old and still has no wife. Please help him take care of it. When the matter is settled, I will buy you carp to eat."
Lu Xiuhe smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I'll introduce you to someone suitable if I find one. The main reason is that there are no suitable girls in our village."
Even if there is one, she can't introduce him to anyone. Ma Hao's appearance is really disappointing. He is also idle and has no serious job. She would feel guilty if she introduced such a person to the girl.
There is no deep hatred, and I really can't push the girl into the fire pit.
Niu Aicao didn't realize the perfunctory tone in Lu Xiuhe's words, and spoke to Guan Ailian and Aunt Lu.
"You guys should also keep an eye out for my Haozi. If it works, I will also buy you a big carp to eat."
