"mom."

"mom."

She not only saw the eldest couple Li Hongwei, but also the second, third and fourth brothers whom she hadn't seen for several months.

Chen Xiaoying felt unhappy: these were all uncles, and they treated their eldest nephew like their own son. Today was a good day for his engagement, so why wouldn't they come?

There were almost two tables occupied by these people alone.

If Saturday and Sunday had not been skipped when choosing the date, the children would have had to sit at another table.

The eldest daughter, Li Hongyan, is the smartest. She can figure it out on her own without anyone reminding her.

While Li Hongyan was chatting and laughing with her in-laws, he was busy greeting their relatives.

Chen Xiaoying deliberately provoked her sons: "Did you ask for leave from the factory?"

Li Hongjian smiled innocently: "Mom, Pengfei is getting engaged, how can I not come?"

Chen Xiaoying smiled and said nothing. When her eldest granddaughter Li Yutong got engaged and married, none of the uncles attended. They all asked others to give gifts of 200 yuan.

She turned to look at Li Hongqiang, who looked guilty, and asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? The factory only pays your second brother's salary, but not yours?"

"Why don't you give your mother living expenses and care about your wife and children?"

Li Hongqiang was a little impatient: "Mom, why are you talking about this now? Pengfei is having a great life, and you have to say this. It's really hard for me to bear with it."

"Oh, you are afraid of being embarrassed. What have you done before? If you don't give me this money, I will treat you as if I don't have a son." Chen Xiaoying felt that she was thinking about their sons wholeheartedly. Except for the second son Li Hongjian who had some conscience, the third son turned a deaf ear to her words. How could she not be angry.

He didn't do what was agreed upon in the meeting, and those others followed his example. Will her words as a mother still be effective in the future?

"Mom, stop talking." Li Hongqiang frowned.

The way he acts is more impressive than any big boss in the city.

Chen Xiaoying also felt aggrieved. In the past, she was just an old lady in the village who knew nothing. At most, she could walk to the market, buy two vegetables and eat a bowl of tofu pudding.

In the past, she thought that her second son was very successful and could earn a salary outside, but her eldest son was a farmer in the village and had no future.

But now, she is not easy to fool.

They are just hard-working peasants who earn their money through hard work. Outside, those well-dressed city people look down on them. But the third child acts like a superior person in front of her, a mother who "knows nothing".

"Okay, let's not talk about it now. We'll talk about it later. If you dare not listen to the rules I set, I have to explain the reason for not listening."

Chen Xiaoying didn't seem like she could be fooled, so the third brother, Li Hongqiang, became a little annoyed.

"knew."

Soon, the restaurant served chopsticks and everyone started to eat. The table was filled with cold and hot dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, which showed great sincerity.

The more Chen Xiaoying ate, the more she felt something was wrong. She asked the old man next to her, Li Pingwang, "His father, didn't Hongyan have money to pay Pengfei for his wife? She even came to our house to borrow money. How come she has not only arranged the wedding, but also set up such a high-end banquet?"

Li Pingwang is cheerful and happy all the time. He is as happy as if his own eldest grandson was engaged. His whole old face is full of smiles.

When Chen Xiaoying asked, he said, "I wanted to tell you about this later, but you were doing business in the county and didn't go back, so I didn't tell you."

Chen Xiaoying was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Li Pingwang said seriously in a low voice: "This money was actually borrowed by Hongyan. You must not tell her family members."

Borrowing money to marry a wife is something that many people in the village do. Chen Xiaoying doesn't find it strange. However, her daughter Li Hongyan asked to borrow 20,000 yuan. Where could she borrow it from? "Who did she borrow from? How much did she borrow?"

Zhao Pengfei was toasting with relatives with his fiancée when he saw that his grandma looked unhappy. He quickly reminded his mother, "Mom, what are my grandma and grandpa doing? Go and have a look."

Li Hongyan turned around and saw that her mother Chen Xiaoying had an emotional look on her face, and her father Li Pingwang seemed to want to say something, so she hurried over.

"Mom, mom, how's the food?"

Chen Xiaoying looked up at Li Hongyan. She had suffered enough lessons from this eldest daughter in her previous life. At this time, she couldn't help but greet her future relatives. Why did they come to talk to her?

"Dad, come here, I want to talk to you." Seeing that her mother didn't say anything and her face was still gloomy, Li Hongyan hurriedly called her father Li Pingwang.

Li Pingwang was a man who listened to his daughter, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up from the table.

"Sister, what are you doing?" the third brother Li Hongqiang asked curiously.

"It's none of your business, just eat your meal." Li Hongyan said, and helped their father Li Pingwang out.

There was a private room outside the hall, and Li Hongyan helped the person in.

"What's the matter? You couldn't tell me what was going on there just now?" Li Pingwang looked at his eldest daughter curiously.

Li Hongyan was anxious: "Dad, didn't I tell you not to let my mom know about this? Now my mom doesn't care about me anymore. She doesn't even want me to spend a dime on her."

"If you tell her about this, she will make a scene right there. What will happen to Pengfei's engagement party?"

"I didn't want to say that. I just said that you borrowed the money and asked her not to tell anyone." Li Pingwang said doubtfully.

Li Hongyan sighed, "Dad, anyway, you must remember that you must not tell anyone about this. Wait until Pengfei marries his wife and the matter is settled. Then we can talk about the money together. Got it?"

Li Pingwang was the one who listened to his eldest daughter: "Okay, okay, okay, I know, I won't tell her."

The father and daughter had discussed their plans in the private room and were about to leave when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Chen Xiaoying stood there with a cold expression: "What are you talking about? What's going on with the money?"

Li Hongyan was startled and looked at her father hurriedly.

Li Pingwang immediately frowned: "I think you are crazy. Today is Pengfei's engagement day. Do you still want to cause trouble?"

I have lived with this old woman all my life. He has the final say in everything at home, big or small.

She is just old, really old. The old woman seemed to be ill and started to quarrel with him.

He wanted to divide his property, collect debts from his eldest daughter, and open a restaurant.

He made money and became proud of himself. He was her man, so no one could say anything to him.

"I'm making trouble? I'm talking to you guys nicely. If you don't want me to make a scene, just tell me the truth. What's going on with the money?" Chen Xiaoying became angry and her tone couldn't help but get higher.
