After being scolded by her husband, Peng Fang did not feel that she had done anything wrong. Instead, she felt angry and wronged.
"Who am I doing this for? It's all for his own good. I want him to learn more, get higher grades, and go to a better university."
"Yes, yes, that's fine. I won't take Xiaowen with me tomorrow. Let him study hard at home. Xiaozhao and I will go to the mountains tomorrow. If we can hunt wild rabbits or pheasants, we can have another dish for the New Year."
"no."
Huang Jianguo stared blankly, "What can't I do? Can't I just leave Xiaowen with me?"
Peng Fang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Tomorrow Yun Mo will bring her new son-in-law here to meet her parents."
When Huang Jianjun heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He had been thinking about the Wuliangye and Zhonghua cigarettes that Yun Mo brought back from Jiang City for a long time.
"I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. I'll just wait for them at home."
"Look at you, you're such a greedy devil. Can you become a god after drinking that wine?"
Peng Fang criticized her husband with disdain, and then asked about her eldest son's girlfriend.
Huang Zhao wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "Mom, what do you think if I ask Huang Yao to be your daughter-in-law?"
Peng Fang was so angry that she yelled, "Are you crazy? Huang Yao is such an ungrateful bastard, I would rather you stay single for the rest of your life than have her as my daughter-in-law."
Huang Yao stole the money and ran away, never to return, and almost killed Yang Xinghua. The villagers cursed at her behind her back.
If you raise a dog, it can still wag its tail. But people like Huang Yao are not even as good as a dog. They have long been notorious in the surrounding villages.
"Mom, although Huang Yao has a bad reputation, she is rich. When I marry her, I will buy a house in the city and settle down. Then I will bring you over to enjoy a good life. The villagers will only be envious."
These words really touched Peng Fang's heart.
She worked so hard to support her youngest son's education, just in the hope that he would have a bright future and be able to lead her out of this miserable rural life.
Thinking of this, Peng Fang couldn't help but look his eldest son up and down.
Huang Zhao is about 1.7 meters tall. Because he works in a shoe factory, he is not exposed to the sun. His skin is whiter than that of ordinary rural people. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks quite talented.
Just yesterday, someone in the village said that they wanted to find a matchmaker for Huang Zhao.
In the past, Peng Fang would have been very happy, but now, her eldest son could earn forty or fifty yuan a month, so she could no longer look down on these poor girls in the village and just made up an excuse to get away with it.
"Xiao Zhao, are you still in touch with Huang Yao?"
"No."
Peng Fang rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about? She's a rich lady now. She's probably forgotten about you a long time ago."
Huang Zhao said directly, "Mom, don't you have Huang Yao's family phone number? I will go to town tomorrow to call her and get in touch with her first. When the time is right, I will go find her and make it a done deal. Do you still need to worry that she won't marry me? The Yun family has plenty of money. I will ask my father-in-law to buy me a house in the city and arrange a good job for me. When Huang Yao gives birth, you can use the excuse of helping her take care of the baby and move in with me."
Peng Fang was amused by the beautiful future (fantasy) described by her eldest son.
Huang Jianguo couldn't sit still any longer. "Boss, when you become the son-in-law of the Yun family, ask your father-in-law to arrange a job for me as a manager. I don't want more, just pay me 50 yuan a month."
Huang Zhao said directly: "Dad, your request is too petty. When I get married to Huang Yao, you will be the father-in-law of the Yun family. Why do you still need to work? Just let the Yun family give you money to open a teahouse and you can be the boss yourself."
Huang Jianjun slapped his thigh with joy, "Okay, this is a good idea!"
After dinner, Peng Fang found the piece of paper with Huang Yao's phone number on it and asked her eldest son to write it down with a pen. Then, Peng Fang found some red paper, cut a palm-sized piece with scissors, and counted out 88 cents from the purse and wrapped it tightly with red paper.
At the Huang family's side, Yun Mo was also busy preparing for the recognition ceremony at Peng Fang's house tomorrow.
The quality of the things she sends out tomorrow will depend on the size of the red envelope Peng Fang gives her.
The next day, after breakfast, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan went out with their things.
Huang Zhiqiu originally wanted to accompany the two of them, but Yun Mo found an excuse to refuse.
If a quarrel breaks out, it wouldn't be a big deal if she and Peng Fang fall out, but it would be bad for Huang Zhiqiu to be caught in the middle.
"Hey, Yun Mo, Xiao Ling, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come in and sit down."
Before reaching the door of Huang Jianguo's house, Peng Fang came out to greet him happily.
This is Yun Mo’s second time here.
The last time was during summer vacation. She came over and stepped on chicken poop in the yard.
I originally thought that since she had notified them in advance and the New Year was approaching, Peng Fang would definitely clean up the yard. But the result was the same as last time, with clutter all over the yard, and if you weren't careful you would get caught.
Even so, there were still quite a few villagers standing in the yard, including men, women, young and old.
Seeing Yun Mo standing at the door and looking at the people in the yard, Peng Fang smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay, don't be embarrassed. We are all from the same village, and everyone wants to see you and Xiao Ling."
Yun Mo glanced at Peng Fang, walked forward and greeted everyone with a smile, while taking out a bag of fruit candies from the paper bag that Ling Chuan was carrying and sharing it with everyone.
The villagers were all laughing, but Peng Fang was so anxious that his face turned green.
From her perspective, the things Yun Mo brought were hers, and taking her things and dividing them like this was like cutting into her flesh.
"Okay, okay, that's enough, come in and sit down."
Seeing that the bag of fruit candy was about to be distributed, Peng Fang finally couldn't help but stepped forward to stop them and snatched the remaining candy from Yun Mo's hand.
Oh my, this spendthrift woman, she made half a bag of such good fruit candy and gave it away at once.
Observing Peng Fang's painful expression, Yun Mo felt particularly relieved.
After entering the house, Huang Jianguo reached out to take the things in Lingchuan's hand, but Yun Mo got there first.
Yun Mo held the paper bag in her hand and said to Huang Jianguo and Peng Fang with a smile: "Second uncle, second aunt, I brought Ling Chuan here today to meet you. This is a little gift from Ling Chuan and I. I hope you don't mind."
"No, no, why should a family be so polite?"
As Peng Fang spoke, he stuffed a thick red envelope into Ling Chuan's hand in front of the villagers.
Generally, red envelopes are not opened in front of the host, as that would be disrespectful to the host.
Unfortunately, Ling Chuan didn't catch it firmly, and the red envelope fell to the ground with a "pop". The red paper was broken into pieces, and the 10-cent and 1-cent bills were exposed to everyone.
There was complete silence all around.
Yun Mo felt embarrassed and ashamed for Peng Fang.
An old lady who had eaten Yunmo fruit candy stood up and said, "Peng Fang, you are usually stingy, but your nephew and son-in-law came all the way here, carrying gifts to greet you, and you only gave him 88 cents? Are you treating him like a beggar?"
"That's a bit too much. At least $6.60 is enough. You two are too stingy."
