Chen Xianghong retorted sharply, "I thought you were reasonable, Uncle Yu, but you're worse than the villagers I visited. You can't think of any other way to criticize me, so you use my background. Uncle Yu, as a leader, do you look down on us working class people?"
Yu's father was caught off guard and was accused of a big crime. If you look at it seriously, what he just said does seem to be looking down on workers and ordinary people. Although he really looks down on them in his heart, his words must not have such an intention. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. It had been a long time since anyone dared to put the blame on him so bluntly.
Mother Yu was anxious. "You are such a cruel girl! Do you want your uncle Yu to be charged with a crime for nothing just because of such a simple sentence?"
She became more and more determined not to let Chen Xianghong be with her own son. She couldn't say such things even at home. Who knew what would happen if someone heard it and reported it.
Chen Xianghong: ...throwing the question to her again?
"Don't you keep saying that I am of this status, this status? May I ask what kind of status I am, why am I not worthy of it? Do you dare to say it?"
Yu's father: "I don't mean that you are not worthy, but that you two are not suitable?"
Chen Xianghong: "What's inappropriate? What criteria do you use to say we're inappropriate? What does it take to be appropriate?"
Yu's father said secretly in his heart: Of course it is suitable to be a match between people of equal social status, but she just accused him of something, so how could he dare to say such a thing now? This girl is really difficult to deal with.
"Your aunt and I have been through this before, and we know at first sight that your life together will be very difficult. You grew up in different environments and have different living habits. You will definitely quarrel in the future. How can this be a good match?"
Yu Hongzhen suddenly shook Chen Xianghong's hand and said firmly, "I like her, she likes me, we're a good match. I don't even know what my living habits are. When I was on a mission, I ate raw rats and crawled in mud puddles. I can adapt to any harsh environment or food. How could we quarrel over this?"
Yu's mother screamed softly, "Are you two ashamed to hold hands in front of your elders? Do you have any manners left? Let go right now!"
Yu Hongzhen not only didn't let go, but held on even tighter. "Mom, when you asked me to meet Uncle Li's daughter, you wanted to push her into my arms. Did you think you could ignore the rules then? Can rules be set based on status?"
Mother Yu was rebuked and her face flushed. "You really don't care about anything now, you can even make up such a thing."
Yu Hongzhen turned to Chen Xianghong and said, "I'll take you to find Uncle Li's daughter tomorrow. Then you'll know if I made it up. Eleven out of ten things my mother says are lies. Don't worry about what she says. She's just... a liar."
He said the last three words very quietly, but no matter how quietly he spoke, the room was not big enough. Chen Xianghong heard it, and his parents heard it too.
Yu's mother's neck is now red.
She has always considered herself elegant and dignified, but she never expected that her image in front of her son would be... a liar?
This was a little hard for her to accept. She was about to cry. She only had this one child. In her heart, the crazy Yu Qingqing was no longer her child. She felt wronged and anxious, "A Zhen, how can you say that about Mom? When has Mom ever hurt you?"
"When you were injured during a mission, who took care of you day and night?"
Yu Hongzhen: "Aunt Wu from your grandfather's family."
Yu's mother felt guilty for a moment, then said with emotion, "The person who worries most about you getting hurt is me. Every time I see the wounds on your body, I'm so distressed that I can't sleep. I wish those injuries were on me. I'm a mother, your mother, and the person who wants you to be well the most is me."
Yu Hongzhen: "Qingqing went crazy but you didn't seem to care much. You even thought she was a disgrace to you."
Yu's mother choked and then heard Yu Hongzhen say to Chen Xianghong, "I told you my mom is a liar."
Yu's father was also annoyed. "How many people have you said this to? Do you still have some basic etiquette of respecting the elderly and loving the young? Is this how we were taught to say bad things about our parents?"
This child is not going to be ruined, is he? He said that his biological mother is a liar, then what is he?
Yu Hongzhen lived up to his expectations and whispered to Chen Xianghong, "My dad is a hypocrite. He looks good on the surface, but inside..."
When Yu's father heard this, his eyes turned black. He tried to stop Yu Hongzhen from saying anything bad about him and slapped him in the face.
Yu Hongzhen did not hide, but pulled Chen Xianghong back.
He was slapped hard in the face, causing Chen Xianghong to exclaim.
"Get out of here, all of you."
Yu Hongzhen lowered his voice, but his tone was extremely fierce. He looked exactly like the hypocrite Yu Hongzhen described. Even at this time, he was still suppressing himself, and still didn't want the people next door to hear his anger.
Yu Hongzhen laughed, "Dad, should I cover my face? Otherwise, people will say you're snobbish and you're forcing a couple apart. You're even willing to hit your son to separate us."
Satisfied with seeing his father's dark face, Yu Hongzhen pulled him away.
Yu's father looked out of the window. If this brat really went around beating him up, he would immediately rush out to stop him.
Yu's mother had stopped crying and started to heat up the untouched dishes on the table. There was a large table of dishes that two people could not finish, but she placed a bowl of white rice with some vegetables on it in front of Yu Qingqing's door. As for the meat, they would rather throw it away than give it to their daughter who had embarrassed them.
This... is their punishment for Yu Qingqing for escaping from their control without permission.
Yu Qingqing's door was closed. Normally, she would eat in the middle of the night after her parents went to bed. By then, the food would be cold, but she didn't care. She really couldn't eat hot food while looking at her parents' faces.
But every time Yu Hongzhen came home, he would hide some snacks somewhere. After he left, Yu Qingqing would secretly take them out and hide them in her room. Otherwise, according to the way Yu's father and mother raised her, she might have starved to death long ago.
Chen Xianghong's meeting this time was a complete mess. She looked at Yu Hongzhen's face with some distress, and muttered as she walked: "Are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital and apply some medicine on your face? And your parents..."
Yu Hongzhen kept reassuring her all the way. When they reached the dormitory where Chen Xianghong lived, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Xianghong, if I marry into your family, will your mother agree?"
Chen Xianghong:...Ah?
