Chapter 70 Provocation
Xu Jiaan's neck was stiff, his dark eyes flashed with a light of unwillingness to admit defeat, and he opened his mouth.
"I……"
As soon as he uttered a word, Xu Yao immediately covered his mouth.
"Your father is right. This is dangerous. Look, your mother didn't do it. Son, you are still young. There is no need to rush to make money. After you study hard and graduate, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money."
As she spoke, she winked at Xu Jiaan. When the child's eyes flickered and he stopped struggling, Xu Yao let him go.
She turned to Ji Changyu and advised, "Don't hit the child. It's my fault for not setting a good example for him before. Don't worry, I will supervise him well and will never do that again."
Ji Changyu looked at his young wife's bright and pitiful eyes. What else could he say?
In fact, his son is smart and as a father he is very proud of him.
Xu Jiaan is young, and no one will pay attention to his minor actions. They are afraid that he will get a taste of success and act more and more outrageously.
Even he might not be able to protect it.
Ji Changyu groaned and dropped the branch.
"You don't need to be clever to take the right path!"
"Since your mother pleaded for you, I will forgive you this time."
Xu Jiaan's eyes were dark and gloomy. He held the Rubik's Cube in his backpack and glared at him irritably.
I originally wanted to lend the Rubik's Cube to Da Jun and his friends to play with, and let them exchange it for things, but the plan fell through.
With his hands behind his back, he walked quickly into the house with his short legs.
"Heh, is this kid blaming me?" Ji Changyu looked at the little guy's angry back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xu Yao pulled him into the house, not worrying about not being able to persuade Xu Jiaan.
"He's very smart. I'll talk to him when we get back, and he'll understand."
After they sat down at the dinner table, Liu Mei asked in confusion, "What did Yingzi's mother want to talk to you about? Why did you take so long? And you made An An angry."
"He had a little conflict with his father." Xu Yao picked up a piece of chicken, moved closer, and saw that the meat looked a little strange. She turned around and put it into Ji Changyu's bowl.
"Yingzi and Li Jichang are together. They said they will come over to thank me later."
"No wonder Li Wenhui called you away this morning." Liu Mei was happy for this diligent and sensible girl.
"Compared to the older sisters, Yingzi's fate is pretty good."
She doesn't have the habit of gossiping about others behind their backs, and she stops at the right time.
Upon hearing this, Xu Weidong, who was the last to receive the news, glanced at Sun Yanfang and happily poured himself another glass of wine.
"Hey, your niece's marriage was introduced by Yaoyao. Xiangbei, shouldn't you two give me a toast?"
Xu Xiangbei and his wife looked at each other.
They looked down on Xu Weidong from the bottom of their hearts because he was not very smart. With just a few instigations, they believed that the two children were not their own.
If a person's brain is not working well, he will not go far even if he has good luck. Haven't you seen that Xu Weidong has been working for more than ten years and is still just a low-level employee?
The person they wanted to please the most was Ji Changyu, but he had a high status and even Old Man Xu didn't dare to keep toasting him.
After dinner, Liu Mei stood up as usual to clean the table, but was stopped by Sun Yanfang with a smile.
He told her to go back home and have a good rest, and called Xu Qiang to find Xu Gang and come back to transfer the house.
Xu Yao and his family of three were invited to Xu Lanxiang's room for a nap.
The bed, bedding, table and chairs in this room are relatively old.
The room was small and had a bad orientation, making it dark and damp. It was far less comfortable than Xu Qiang's large sunny room.
Xu Yao raised her eyebrows. Sun Yanfang told others that she did not favor boys over girls and that Xu Lanxiang was her favorite child. This could only please outsiders.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
Sun Yanfang told them with a unhappy look on her face that Sun Daying had come with Li Jichang.
Originally, it was something worthy of boasting that one's niece from one's mother's side married into the city.
In fact, when Li Jichang came to the house, everyone in the village envied him, and he dispelled the rumor that her brother ignored his daughter's life and death for the sake of his son.
But Xu Yao came back with Ji Changyu.
The two sons-in-law in the village stood together, fearing that the villagers would scold her brother and sister-in-law again.
Xu Yao had long known from Aunt Wu that Li Jichang was not good-looking.
Only after meeting her did I realize that it was not only ugly, but extremely uglier.
His face is covered with acne marks and he looks like a monkey. He doesn't look like a good person.
He is not short, but unfortunately his shoulder blades are severely protruding on his back, like a tree branch propping up his clothes.
Even if you wear a Dacron shirt, you can't show any temperament at all.
Xu Yao and Sun Daying greeted each other, and Ji Changyu also nodded politely to Li Jichang.
Li Jichang, who claimed to be a city dweller and was very arrogant all the way, couldn't help but shrink his chin when he saw Ji Changyu.
He stumbled and said, "Captain Ji, Captain Ji."
Sun Daying said something to the two men and pulled Xu Yao aside to talk.
She took out five dollars from her pocket and stuffed it into Xu Yao's pocket.
"Sister Xu Yao, thanks to you, otherwise I would have to marry... Take this five dollars."
Xu Yao declined for a while but then accepted it and asked her whether she and Li Jichang had agreed on the confession about the bride price.
Sun Daying smiled and said, "I told him about my family's situation. My husband and I kept the 200 yuan gift to ourselves. He was very happy not to give it to me, and he was upset that he didn't ask his parents for more.
He brought a piece of meat and two bottles of wine to our house. When he said he would not give a dowry, my parents looked a little unhappy.
During lunch, she came to see you with a large army. Maybe you said something that made her look much better to us when she came back. ”
Xu Yao told her about her mother asking her about odd jobs in the city, "Your mother is quite vigilant."
Sun Daying said yes with a smile.
She knew how favored Li Jichang was in the family. After she got married, she would get pregnant as soon as possible. Even if her in-laws knew that she and her husband had embezzled the betrothal money, they would not say anything.
Who said Li Jichang was the only male in the family? In the end, won’t the money in the old couple’s hands be spent on him and his son?
Sun Daying, who was used to being exploited by his parents, finally experienced the benefits of "privilege".
Seeing that the two of them had finished their conversation, Li Jichang quickly walked away from Ji Changyu and took Sun Daying home with him at a brisk pace.
The girls in the village who were eager to marry Sun Daying to the city took the opportunity to hold Sun Daying's hand and chat with her.
"Yingzi, I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but the comparison between your man and Xu Yao's man is just too tragic."
"Yes, Xu Yao has become a phoenix, and the man she married is tall and handsome, with a high position and status. But the man she introduced to you is ugly and hunchbacked."
Seeing that Sun Daying's face fell, they thought Sun Daying had heard it and continued to speak sourly.
"That's right. It's better not to marry a city guy like this. Any guy in the countryside is better than Li Jichang."
"How much do you give her as a matchmaking gift? She's so ungrateful, I can even say no."
