Some people even whispered, "How could they become relatives with such a person? The previous daughter of the Wang family was so good, really."
"I don't know what Luo Laoer was thinking. He agreed just because his son liked it. It's really shameful."
Someone who knew the situation said, "You don't know this, you were forced to do it." I told her what happened before, and she said in disbelief:
"Really? If not, we have to stay away from Luo Laoer's house. Otherwise, what if the child is led astray?"
"How could a little girl do such a thing? She is so shameless."
"That family isn't a good family. Look at her father, he's such a slacker."
"Look at that old woman again. Her eyes are darting around. She's not someone you can get along with easily. She looks like a crazy, unreasonable woman."
"Luo Laoer's family has such an in-law, and some have suffered."
"With the lessons learned from the past, I must keep my eyes open in the future and not look for a daughter-in-law like this."
Someone looked in the direction of County Magistrate Tian and his group and whispered, "But look over there. When did Luo Laoer and his group know County Magistrate Tian and his group? It looks like they're all government officials over there."
"Who knows? But I heard that the Wang family member seems to have connections with the government. I wonder if they are here for them."
"No way, maybe Luo Lao Er had some connection with them at some point. After all, he's a deputy factory director, so he should be able to see them."
"I think they're here to mess things up. Tell me, if you were the Wang family, would you let them go like this? They're putting your family's face on the ground and stepping on it."
"Oh, let's just wait and see. We'll know if he's a friend or an enemy. I saw the director of the garment factory here too, so I have to go over and make myself familiar with him."
After saying this, the man left. After hearing what he said, the others also looked at the people in the room to see if there was anyone related to their family and to try to establish a relationship with them. These people were people they could not normally see.
After finding the people they wanted to please and get in touch with, everyone scattered around and approached them with a smile on their faces to start chatting with them.
Xia Jin and the others are all students, so they are not so utilitarian. What they care about now is the college entrance examination in the summer. Whether they pass or not is very important. If they pass, they will have a stable job.
This is a fork in the road. Those who pass the exam will be able to get a similar job no matter what, but those who fail will have an uncertain future. The only two options are to go into business or work in a factory.
So they all sat in their seats obediently and talked about topics that people of their age should discuss.
Xia Jin also joined in. She agreed with others when they spoke, but she really didn't know what to say. But if she didn't say anything, she would seem too unsociable.
At the Xia family's table, when Old Lady Xia returned to her seat, she saw Old Man Xia with a dark face. Looking at his expression, Old Lady Xia understood why.
She pointed at Liu Xiu and said, "What are you doing on such an important day, you bitch? Are you jealous of our Qingqing family? Are you afraid that our child will be outshined by that little bitch you gave birth to?"
"Although you are a member of our family, are you still thinking about your ex-husband? Our family is really unlucky to have married a daughter-in-law like you."
Liu Xiu said with a sad face: "Mother, I didn't think so. After all these years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"Besides, Chengcai and the other two are my children. If the Xia family is doing well, they will also live a good life. How could I side with that little bitch Xia Jin?"
Old Lady Xia softened a bit and said, "Then what were you doing just now? What nonsense were you talking about? It's only now that it's open, otherwise we would all be arrested."
Liu Xiu said sincerely: "What I said is true. Think about it, isn't it? Xia Jin's personality has suddenly changed. No matter how we treated her before, she didn't dare to resist."
"But now, and this is what she said herself. Besides, she didn't have the ability to open a store before."
Old Lady Xia nodded and said, "That's right."
Old Man Xia said angrily: "What is it? Stop talking nonsense. And Liu Xiu, why did you go to see her just now? You are looking for trouble."
"I was thinking of taking her shop and giving it to Chengcai and the others, but I didn't expect this damn kid to be so stubborn. This is a sin."
Old Man Xia said, "Alright, let's discuss this matter later. The most important thing right now is Qingqing marrying into the Luo family. Nothing else is as important as this, you know."
"Don't cause any trouble for me during this time. If you ruin it, both of you can go back to your parents' home."
"knew."
"yes."
After scolding them, Old Man Xia felt relieved. He waved goodbye to them and told them to go away. He still had to show off to his relatives. They should do what they should do and stop embarrassing themselves here.
After everyone left, Old Man Xia paused for a while, stood up and walked towards the table where his brothers from the countryside were sitting, but the expression on his face was really annoying.
Old man Xia thought that he used to live in the city, while they were digging for food in the village. They were not on the same level as him. But now things are better. His granddaughter is engaged to the son of the deputy factory director.
After that, my family was considered a well-known family in the city, and the gap between us was getting bigger and bigger. There was no need to be nice to them. After all, they were the ones begging me for help, and I didn't need their help in any way.
That's why he had that expression. He thought that even if he looked down on them, they would still flatter him because he was the only city dweller in the family.
When the relatives saw Old Man Xia coming, they quickly offered them seats to him. Old Man Xia was not polite and sat on the seat with a proud look on his face. Although they all hated him, there was nothing they could do. As Old Man Xia thought, they still had to use their house to go to the city.
How could they offend him? So those people tried their best to please Old Man Xia. They all grew up together and knew each other well, so they said anything to make Old Man Xia happy.
However, Old Man Xia's three brothers hated him so much that their teeth were itching to bite him. The filthiness in their families had been going on for decades, not just one or two days, and the reason was nothing more than their parents' favoritism.
