Chapter 88 Meeting the Parents
Feng Yue couldn't help but sneer at Chen Mei's wishful thinking.
"Until she gave birth to Shen Lingxue, none of the college students came back. Shen Mei's parents were not happy and were clamoring to go to the city to find Shen Lingxue's father to take responsibility, but who knew that when they found the school, none of the college students were willing to take responsibility.
They all knew that Chen Mei was having affairs with several men at the same time, and that none of them acknowledged that the child was hers. Chen Mei's father had originally thought that he could marry a rich son-in-law, but he didn't, and he was beaten up and returned home in disgrace. After returning home, he kicked Chen Mei out of the house after she had just given birth. Chen Mei had nowhere to go, so she barely managed to finish her confinement with the help of the villagers.
This incident caused quite a stir in Shenmei Village. Shenmei still has a bad relationship with her family, so no one from her family came to the wedding.
After saying that, Feng Yue looked up at Xu Xiuhua, only to see that her face had become as black as the bottom of a pot.
So, everyone in the village now knows that Shen Mei is a young woman who can hook up with men? They also know that Shen Lingxue is a bastard who doesn't even know who her father is?
Xu Xiuhua felt that she had lost all her face and she could not go out or see anyone from now on.
Such a person was actually married to the third son of their family.
"I won't live anymore. This woman named Shen has brought disgrace upon our Ji family. How will I have the face to see your father when I die?" Xu Xiuhua slapped her thigh and cried.
Ji Jianjun was listening nearby and couldn't help but frowning and said, "Do you regret it now? I didn't agree with Jianguo and Yuanyuan's mother's divorce, but you were so happy at that time. Yuanyuan's mother is such a good person, capable and well-behaved, but you just couldn't look down on her."
Everyone present knew why Xu Xiuhua looked down on Li Xu.
It’s just that Xu Xiuhua felt that her third child was a college student and had a noble status, so he should be paired with the daughter of a wealthy family in the city.
But she ended up finding Li Xu, a country girl who graduated from high school, and she was just unwilling to give in.
Xu Xiuhua sighed, and when she thought of Li Xu, she finally felt a little regretful.
At first, although Li Xu could not help much in his career, Jianguo did not have to do any work in the fields or at home. Jianguo stayed at the company honestly and gave him a hundred or two hundred yuan every month.
Now, although Jianguo has made a lot of money, he hasn't brought any money home for more than half a year.
She knew it was all instigated by that bitch Chen Mei.
…
Saturday soon arrived. Early in the morning, Li Yong rode Li Xu's tricycle and took Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang back to their hometown.
Li Xu rode Li Yong's bike, and together with Zhang Kun, took Ji Yuanyuan to Zhang Kun's hometown.
This was something the two of them had discussed. If they took all three children with them, they were afraid that the old man would have a headache due to the noise, and secondly, they were afraid that the old man would feel uncomfortable seeing them.
Yuanyuan is well-behaved and sweet-spoken, so maybe she can make them happy.
So this time when she went to Zhang Kun's house, Ji Yuanyuan was just a tool.
Zhang Kun's home is not far from the county town. In addition to his parents, he has a younger brother and a younger sister, both of whom are married.
My younger sister married in the next village and gave birth to a daughter. My younger brother was also separated and gave birth to a son.
Along the way, Zhang Kun kept telling Li Xu about the situation at home so that Li Xu could have some idea of the situation.
Ji Yuanyuan was on Zhang Kun's bicycle, listening to Zhang Kun's words, and her heart calmed down a little.
Zhang Kun has a younger brother, and his younger brother also has a son, so the chances of Zhang Kun's parents agreeing to this matter are a little greater.
The three of them soon arrived at Zhang Kun's parents' home. There were three red brick houses, which were considered quite impressive in the village at that time.
From a distance, you can see an elderly couple waiting at the door. The two elderly people have kind faces and hold palm-leaf fans in their hands, fanning themselves from time to time. When they see Zhang Kun, they smile.
"This must be Xiao Xu. You must be hot. Come home and have some water." Zhang Kun's mother Wang Yueju hurried forward, holding Li Xu's hand with one hand and fanning Li Xu with a palm-leaf fan with the other hand.
Li Xu parked her bicycle, took the gift down, and although a little shy, she said openly, "Uncle, aunt, this is my first time here and I don't know what you like to eat, so I just picked a few randomly. Please don't despise them."
Wang Yueju quickly called out to Zhang Kun's father, Zhang Dali: "Why are you just standing there? Answer it quickly."
Zhang Dali was an honest farmer. He hurried over to take the things from Li Xu's hand.
The two men exchanged greetings for a moment, and then Zhang Dali took the item.
Wang Yueju quickly looked at Ji Yuanyuan again, her eyes brightened and she said, "This is Yuanyuan, right? Kun told me that she is a smart child."
"Hello, Grandpa, hello, Grandma!" Ji Yuanyuan quickly forced a sweet smile, "Uncle Zhang often mentioned my grandpa and grandma to me, saying that they are both very good people."
After Zhang Kun set up the bicycle, he naturally picked up Ji Yuanyuan from it.
Wang Yueju looked at this scene, not knowing what she was thinking about, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She kept nodding her head: "Okay, okay, let's go home and have a drink of water."
When I entered the house, there were two people, Zhang Kun's younger brother and sister, who were preparing food in the kitchen. When they saw Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan, they looked very enthusiastic.
"Sister, come in and sit down, the food will be ready soon." Zhang Kun's sister Zhang Yao stood at the kitchen door and greeted her warmly. She looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, with a rosy face and bright eyes.
Zhang Kun’s younger brother Zhang Jun was a little shy and looked to be in his early twenties. He followed Zhang Yao and called her “sister”.
Zhang Kun pulled Li Xu into the house. Wang Yueju poured some water and handed it to Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan.
Zhang Dali turned on the electric fan at home. The huge fan started to squeak above his head, finally bringing a little cool air to everyone.
When I first met Li Xu, I inevitably felt a little unfamiliar and didn't know what to talk about, so the topic naturally shifted to Ji Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan, what grade are you in?"
"Grandma, I will be in the third grade after the summer vacation."
"I heard from your Uncle Zhang that you have very good grades, right?"
"Grandma, Uncle Zhang praises me because he likes me. I'm not that smart. I only ranked thirteenth in the final exam."
Zhang Kun was listening nearby and quickly explained, "Yuanyuan skipped a grade, otherwise her score would definitely not be this."
The old couple saw that Ji Yuanyuan spoke generously and politely, and was smart and humble at a young age, so they had a better impression of Li Xu.
The child is so well behaved, it must be inseparable from his mother’s education.
Lunch was prepared by Zhang Kun’s younger brother and sister. It was very sumptuous, with a total of ten dishes.
The sumptuousness of the meal was enough to show how much the Zhang family valued Li Xu.
