It is said that the youngest is the most precious treasure in the eyes of their parents. This is the case with Old Man Xia's family. Old Man Xia is the youngest child, but he is very eloquent and pleases his parents.
He made them give all the good things to him, especially the third brother who hated him the most. At that time, Old Man Xia's job required him to spend money to find connections, but it just so happened that the third brother Xia had someone he liked.
It also costs money, but the family doesn't have much money, so they can only do one of the two things. In the end, unsurprisingly, their parents gave all the money to Old Man Xia.
But that little money was not enough, so they borrowed a little from here and there and finally gathered enough money. They thought it was a good idea that when Old Man Xia went to work, he would have money to pay him back.
He had received the betrothal money for his third son, but not only did Old Man Xia not bring the money back after going to work, he also asked for money from his family under various excuses, and his foreign debt kept growing.
His family was unable to find him a wife, and the foreign debt was not paid off until their parents passed away. Xia Lao San is still a bachelor now, and he thinks it is all Old Man Xia's fault.
Seeing everyone rushing to please him, Xia Lao San mockingly said, "It's just an engagement, it's not certain whether we can get married or not."
"What's the point of you trying to please him? Didn't you just hear what they said? How did this marriage come about? Don't you know? If you get involved with their family, something bad will happen sooner or later."
Old man Xia said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't like it, just get out. If you weren't my brother, who would want you to come here, poor bastard?"
The word "poor" scolded everyone present. Everyone's face turned unhappy when they heard him say this, but Old Man Xia didn't see it. Old Third Xia couldn't stand being scolded.
He stood up and wanted to curse at them, but was stopped by the brothers around him. They pulled him to another table and tried to persuade him, but Xia Lao San didn't listen to them. They were all talking without any hesitation.
They don't feel pain unless the stick hits them. If they were in my situation, they might not be able to do better than me.
After talking for a while, it seemed that it was almost time and most of the relatives had arrived, so Xia Qingqing and the other four came in.
They first recognized each other as relatives and then had dinner. Luo's father and mother took Xia Qingqing to introduce them to each relative. After all the relatives of the Luo family were introduced, the relatives of the Xia family, including old man Xia, brought Luo Zisen to introduce them.
When it was Xia Lao San's turn to be introduced, he ignored them, making the situation a little awkward. It was only after others smoothed things over that the situation was resolved.
We can't make a scene here that makes everyone look bad, but looking at this scene, the Luo family is indeed not very happy. It was originally a marriage of low status, and it's okay that your family is ungrateful, but you also give our children a hard time.
No matter who encountered this situation, their face would be in a bad mood. After the two of them were introduced and stood on the stage and their engagement was announced, Luo's mother's face still did not change.
His face was so long that if someone hadn't seen what happened just now, they would have thought that they were forced to do it. But it was true that they were forced into doing it and had no choice but to marry.
The dishes were served during their conversation, and everyone waited for them to finish talking so they could eat. There were eight tables in total: two for classmates, two for the Luo and Xia families, and two for Luo's father's friends.
Everyone looked at the dishes in front of them with eager eyes. As for what was said on the stage, no one cared at all. They were all waiting for the meal to start. The dishes were quite good.
After they finished speaking, everyone started to eat. The two tables were fine, as everyone came from well-off families and had plenty of food, so everyone was very polite.
But the situation was different at the table of Xia’s relatives. They stretched out their chopsticks very quickly, as if they were afraid of not getting any food. They were very overbearing and would not let you eat if you didn’t.
The noise was so loud that no one had time to eat and they all looked over there. The relatives of the Luo family couldn't help but hold their foreheads, thinking that it was really embarrassing to be relatives with their family.
After thinking about it, I went to see Luo's father and mother. Their faces were ashen. It was obvious that they felt their behavior was shameful and they were very angry.
Xia Qingqing wanted to say something, but she couldn't go over, so she could only hope that her family would stop these people and not embarrass her.
As a result, all his family members except Old Man Xia behaved the same way. Even Old Lady Xia was more eager to grab the food. She directly took over the meat and vegetables and put them in the bowls of Chengcai and the others.
No one could be better than her. Xia Jianguo was only concerned with eating, looking at the dishes on the table while eating. He looked as if he hadn't eaten for three years. Xia Qingqing looked at them and wondered how she could have such a family, which had completely disgraced her.
Out of sight, out of mind. Just as he was about to lower his head and eat his own food, his attention was attracted by a crying sound. It turned out that Xia Cai wanted to eat the pork elbow, so Old Lady Xia picked it up for him.
As a result, perhaps because he was used to being domineering, he directly pulled the plate to his side. Seeing this, Old Lady Xia and Liu Xiu not only did not stop him, but also thought he did a good job.
Old Lady Xia encouraged him even more, saying that he did a good job and that they spoiled him. The adults didn't want to argue with a little kid and thought to just let it go, but they secretly cursed them in their hearts.
But the children didn’t think so. They were just children and there was no need to ask for permission. If you wanted to eat it, they all wanted to eat it too. One of the older children just grabbed it directly.
The child tried to snatch the thing in front of him. Xia Cai was used to being selfish, so how could he allow his things to be snatched away? So he directly hit the child who was trying to snatch his elbow with his hand.
Now that was bad, no one was giving in, the elbow was thrown to the ground, and the two children started crying. Old Lady Xia got angry when she saw her good grandson being bullied, and she didn't care where this was, as long as her grandson couldn't be bullied.
So he went up to the crying child and slapped him. Now, what was originally a matter between children turned into a conflict between adults.
When the family of the beaten child saw this, they no longer tolerated it. They said that they were their own baby and they didn't care whether it was an engagement ceremony or not. How could they let you bully them like this?
You yourselves don't care, so why should they care? So the little boy's grandmother stepped forward and pulled Old Lady Xia's hair. They had been at odds with each other since they were young, and now she finally got her revenge.
The whole scene was a mess. One group of people was pulling this one, another group was pulling that one, and none of them were willing to suffer any loss. Even when they were pulled apart, they were still swearing.
The dishes on the table were all spilled onto the floor. Old Lady Xia's hair was disheveled like a female ghost, and the two people were pulled apart.
