Chapter 59 Receiving Guests
Xu Yao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
I don’t know whether Ji Changyu was involved in the capture of Xu Jiaan.
After all, Ji Changyu admires Ji Peng very much, so it's possible that he wouldn't value his son very much.
If Ji Changyu was involved, it would be really tragic for them.
As a child who also grew up in a slum, Xu Jiaan's father's position was even higher than that of the male protagonist's father. With his intelligence, he should have had a brilliant life.
But he grew up in the countryside, suffered a lot, and was eventually suppressed and defeated by people who were not as good as him because of his social status.
How ironic.
"What's wrong?" Ji Changyu's heart tightened when he saw Xu Yao's ugly face.
Xu Yao shook her head. "I think Ji Chen is a nice name. That old lady is so cruel. Her son is a treasure, but her daughter-in-law is not a treasure to her parents? Fortunately, I met a great mother-in-law."
Ji Changyu couldn't help laughing.
As they spoke, the three of them walked to the door of the wing room. Before they went in, they heard Ji Qin's voice scolding her daughter-in-law from afar.
Xu Yao and Ji Changyu looked at each other, and when the noise inside died down a little, Ji Changyu called out "Aunt Ji" and "Sister-in-law Ji".
Ji Qin came out with an old face, followed by her daughter-in-law Zhu Zhongju.
The latter, who was less than 30 years old, had a tired face. He smiled when he saw them and said, "It's Hengzi and your wife. They are so pretty."
She glanced at Xu Jiaan and said, "My son is also very cute and looks smart."
"Smart?" Ji Qin sneered, her old eyes cloudy and mean, "He looks a bit dumb, he can't even call people, much better than our Chen Zimu."
After he finished speaking, the little boy stared at Ji Qinshi with his dark and cold eyes, his red lips slightly pursed, and he said nothing.
Ji Qin hugged her arms.
It's really strange. Why do I feel that this child is weird and eerie? He makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if a poisonous snake is crawling on their body.
"An An is shy. Auntie, where is your Chenzi? He doesn't even come out to greet the guests." Xu Yao looked at Ji Qinshi with a smile.
The meaning of the words is very clear. My child doesn't call for help, and your child stays in the house and refuses to see guests. They are the same. What qualifications do you have to criticize my child?
Shameless.
"Chenzi is playing outside after dinner." Zhu Zhongju saw that the atmosphere was not right, and smiled apologetically at Xu Yao with a headache.
"My mother-in-law speaks without thinking. She doesn't really mean it. Please don't mind it. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your reunion. I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together."
When Ji Qin heard this, she exploded instantly and pointed at Zhu Zhongju's nose and cursed.
"You little bastard, who said you didn't think before you spoke? You've really gone too far. When Peng Peng comes back, I'll ask him to beat you to death..."
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out again, Ji Changyu quickly put the wedding candy on the table, said hello, and took Xu Yao and Xu Jiaan away.
The relationship between the two families is average, and Ji Peng is in the army and can't come back, so it's enough to just distribute wedding candies, there's no need to invite them to dinner.
Living in the other west wing was the family of Qin Baojia, the manager of the Central Courtyard.
When they heard a quarrel next door, they came out with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.
When Qin Baojia saw Ji Changyu coming with his wife and children, his already small eyes became so small from laughing that he could barely see the inside of his eyes.
"It's good to be married. Look at your wife and son, they are thin. You said your mother is thin too. Isn't she just a country wife? Your family is not short of food. What's so unacceptable?
If they had been brought home earlier, they wouldn't have been starving like this in the countryside. ”
He said Xu Yao and Xu Jiaan were thin, but in fact he himself was also very thin and looked malnourished. On the contrary, the middle-aged woman standing next to him looked plump and plump.
The lady nudged him with her elbow and said, "Why are you talking about hindsight on such a happy day? After all, the result is good. Good things are worth waiting for. Just live a good life as a family in the future."
Ji Changyu nodded with a smile.
One is his own mother and the other is his wife. It is not appropriate for him to speak at this time.
Xu Yao is different.
In order to protect her own reputation, the mother-in-law was willing to discredit herself, and she had to express her opinion on everything she said.
"Didn't our mother not understand me at that time? She treated me very well after she got to know me. Yanyu was jealous at home just now."
How can an old lady not be nice to you when she is complaining about you? If Ji Changyu doesn't get married, he will become a bachelor. Ji's mother is so eager to have a grandson that she is willing to introduce a widow to her son.
Suddenly she found out that her son had married without her knowledge and had a big fat grandson. She must be worshipping you like a Buddha.
As for Xu Jiaan, no one who has met him doubts that he is not Ji Changyu's biological son.
Because the father and son look so alike.
"You two are getting along well. Old Ji can rest assured in the underworld, and I am happy too."
Qin Baojia patted Ji Changyu's shoulder with a smile. He was short and he stood on tiptoe to pat the tall man, which looked very festive.
"You are going to have a wedding banquet tomorrow, right? I have to be on duty tomorrow so I can't come. How about this, I will ask my apprentice to send you two pieces of fat meat to celebrate tomorrow morning. You don't have to pay for it, it's convenient for me to buy meat. If you don't have tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, you can come to my house to borrow them, your aunt will help you."
Meat is not cheap these days. Giving away two pieces of meat is worth a lot of money. Didn’t you see that the old lady’s face turned green?
Xu Yao looked at Ji Changyu, who smiled at them and said, "We appreciate your kindness, but we don't need the meat. I have saved up some meat tickets, which are enough for the banquet."
The aunt nodded vigorously and glared at Qin Baojia.
"That's right. Hengzi is the head of the group. His allowance is much higher than yours as a small cook. Is it necessary for you to subsidize him? Our eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are both pregnant. Why haven't you bought meat to feed them? They look so thin.
Oh, last time you bought some meat, but before you even entered the house, you were coaxed away by the cold widow. And the time before that, you packed up some duck meat and brought it back, but our grandson didn’t even get to taste it, and you gave it to Old Lady Chen in the courtyard.
What sin did I commit to deserve such a fate as a living Bodhisattva like you? Why don’t you take care of your son and grandson instead of saving all living beings? ”
As she spoke, probably because she had suffered too much injustice, the aunt's eyes suddenly turned red, and she held Xu Yao's hand and choked with sobs.
"When you get married, you must be strong and control your men. Don't let them be like the money-spending boy who empties the family fortune to help others."
Xu Yao was so scared that her scalp tingled and she didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Qin Baojia gave the old lady a long lecture and scolded her.
Ji Changyu gave the wedding candy to Qin Baojia, who in turn stuffed two pieces of peach cakes into Xu Jiaan's hands.
After walking out, Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you that tired?" Ji Changyu asked with a smile.
"I'm not tired. Well, how should I put it? The old man is too enthusiastic. It feels weird."
"The eldest uncle is a well-known kind man."
Xu Yao pondered, "It's kind, but it's too much. Normal people wouldn't accept their meat, right? The lady reacted so strongly and complained to me about so many things. Even if she was upset, she shouldn't have said these things to a junior like me whom she just met for the first time, right?"
