Niu and Cao, mother and son, were so embarrassed that they wished they could find a rat hole to crawl into. Seeing that no one came to help them, Ma Yuejie turned his gaze to Lu Guozhi.
He usually calls him uncle, but now his mouth became sweet and he called him with a smile.
"Uncle, can you help persuade my cousins? It is indeed my mother and Ma Hao and his wife who are at fault. I apologize on their behalf and I will treat everyone to a meal at the restaurant. Just don't take it personally. After all, nothing has happened, right? We are all relatives and we still have to interact with each other. If things get too awkward and we tell others about it, we will be laughed at."
Lu Guozhi said with a straight face.
"I can't advise her on this matter. The second son's wife has indeed been wronged. If she doesn't ask for forgiveness, no one can make her decision."
Lu Guozhi is very clear now, he knows better than anyone who to be close to.
As for the matter of borrowing sperm, not to mention that his daughter-in-law disagrees, even if she agrees, he will not agree.
How could he not know what kind of people his brother-in-law's family is?
If the youngest son really gets involved with Ma Hao's wife and has a baby, will their family still be able to live in peace in the future?
Since Ma Hao doesn't have a son, Niu Hecao could have let Ma Yuejie's child be adopted by Ma Hao. However, Niu Hecao didn't do that, but instead set his sights on Lu Shishen. Don't assume he doesn't know what the plan is.
The Ma family treated him as a fool, so how could he be nice to the Ma family?
Everyone else had the same idea as Lu Guozhi. The family was very united and they all felt that Yang Niannian had been wronged in this matter and that this was not something that could be resolved with just an apology.
Guan Ailian was especially impressed. If Niu and Cao were looking for her man, she would have overturned the Ma family's stove by now.
Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Niu and Cao didn't say a word to help, but covered their faces and started crying.
"I am the one who is confused about this matter. Nian Nian, if you are angry, can I kneel down and kowtow to you?"
As she spoke, her legs went limp and she knelt down. Lu Shishen pulled Yang Niannian to the other side, stood in front of her and spoke coldly.
Said in a cold voice.
"What are you doing?"
Niu and Cao cried and said, "I was wrong before. I kneel down and apologize to you."
Yang Niannian poked her head out from behind Lu Shishen and said, "Please don't shorten my lifespan. I can't bear it."
Lu Guozhi couldn't stand Niu and Cao's shameless behavior anymore, and scolded them with a gloomy face.
"Yue Jie, get your mother up. It's almost Chinese New Year. Shi Shen and his wife finally came back home, and the family is so happy. Why are you crying and worshipping as soon as you get here?"
Guan Ailian agreed, "Yes! Who doesn't wish for good luck during the Chinese New Year? What are you two doing?"
People in the countryside are more superstitious. They hate it most to see others wiping eyes and crying in their own homes. There is no death in the family, so why do they do that?
Ma Yuejie didn't expect his mother to do this, and seeing his uncle getting angry, he quickly pulled his mother up, winking at her and accusing her.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you crying and kneeling?"
Niu and Cao intended to make a bigger noise, attract the neighbors to come and watch the fun, and force Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian to say forgiveness, but they didn't expect that this trick would be useless.
She wiped away her tears and explained.
"I was just thinking about apologizing to Nian Nian, and I got so excited that I did this. I didn't mean to curse her, so don't take it seriously."
Lu Shishen frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Nian Nian and I have already separated from our parents. We will not participate in or stop you elders from visiting each other. Similarly, we will no longer have any contact with you."
Niu Hecao became anxious when she heard this. If Lu Shishen wasn't so capable, why would she still associate with the Lu family?
Now he is apologizing and begging in a humble manner, isn't it because he needs help from Lu Shishen?
If Lu Shishen didn't have any contact with her family, wouldn't this trip be in vain?
Just as he was about to say something, Ma Yuejie spoke first, in a tone like an elder brother who is like a father.
"Shi Shen, I know you and Nian Nian are angry, and what you said now are just impulsive. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. When you calm down, we can sit down and talk slowly."
Now Lu Shishen's attitude is very direct, so there is no need for him to be anxious. Lu Shishen doesn't come back to Beijing for three or two years anyway. Even if they have a good relationship, he may not have time to visit.
As long as it's not too stiff and outsiders know the relationship between Lu Shishen and him, it will be fine if Lu Shishen can show up when someone needs his help.
Yang Niannian saw through Ma Yuejie's thoughts at a glance, sneered in her heart, and ignored him. Anyway, Lu Shishen had made his words very clear.
Lu Guozhi saw that the situation was almost over, and his youngest son had made his words clear. As the elder, it was time for him to speak up, so he said.
"Shi Shen has made it clear that he has a family now, and I can't control that much anymore. Stop talking about those nonsense and sit down and take a rest!"
He looked at Ma Xiuzhu again and waved his hand generously, "Go catch a big rooster and kill it."
Now that life is better, Lu Guozhi has become a little vain and wants to show off the good food at home. He can just kill a chicken when relatives come over, unlike before.
Although Ma Xiuzhu was reluctant, she couldn't show it in front of her sister-in-law and nephew. She reluctantly put Jiaojiao down and went to the yard, calling Lu Qingyuan to help catch the chicken.
I originally wanted to kill a small one, but my eldest son caught the biggest old rooster.
She slapped her thigh in anger, "Are you a fool? Why are you catching such a big one?"
Lu Qingyuan said, "If the small ones are not enough to eat, Dad will definitely ask us to kill another one. It's better to just catch a big one. The two small ones are already 20 to 30 pounds, and they can still be raised. It would be a pity to kill them now."
Ma Xiuzhu thought about it and felt that what her eldest son said was right, and her expression became better.
"I'll go boil some water. You kill the chicken. Remember to get a bowl to catch the blood. It's a good thing and can't be wasted."
Lu Qingyuan responded and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and a bowl. Guan Ailian came into the kitchen to help and saw her husband and mother-in-law inside, so she whispered.
"The sun is rising from the west. My aunt-in-law came over and even remembered to bring a gift. I think it's very likely that she wants to ask Shi Shen for help with something."
Ma Xiuzhu still somewhat favored her sister-in-law and nephew. After all, they were her family. She glared at Guan Ailian unhappily.
"Don't get involved. Shi Shen and his wife are out of town and don't come back once a year. It's fine if they don't hang out with your uncle's family. If you offend them, and your uncle's family doesn't show up for any family event in the future, wouldn't that sound good if it got out? Don't forget that Xingxing and Tiantian are already grown up, and they'll be getting married in the next few years."
Guan Ailian didn't say anything. This was indeed the custom here. She had never been far away from home and had been influenced by these customs since childhood. She was somewhat unable to get rid of these old customs. Even if she could, her husband could not.
Lu Qingyuan felt that his wife had suffered a lot in his family over the years, and he also knew his mother's temper, which was unreasonable.
I couldn't help but say a word for my wife.
"Mom, Ailian didn't say anything, why are you so angry?"
Ma Xiuzhu glared at her eldest son again and said, "Go and kill the chicken quickly. I just said something about your wife, and you think it's a big deal, right?"
"You all have become more capable, but you just see that I am old and incompetent, and you all want to shit on my head."
snort!
If she can't control her younger daughter-in-law, can she control her older daughter-in-law?
