230 Hang it on the wall for you
Uncle Jiang Er and Uncle Jiang Si looked at each other, said a few polite words tactfully, "Come to our house when you have time, don't leave in the afternoon, come to our house for dinner," and then left.
Uncle Jiang Da and Uncle Jiang San felt that they were Jiang Baohai's dearest uncles, and there was no male elder in their nephew's family.
So Uncle Jiang said shamelessly, "My poor little brother left Xiao Hai and his sister behind so early and passed away. There is no one in this family who can entertain you, my in-law."
"But don't be angry, dear in-laws. Although my brother and I are not Xiaohai's biological father, now that his biological father is gone, isn't uncle just like his biological father? Today is the first time you've come to our house, so we must treat you well."
Uncle Jiang reached out and patted Gao Chongyi on the shoulder and said:
"My dear, I won't be going back today! Let me accompany you for a good drink on behalf of my poor little brother! Let's get acquainted with each other today and visit each other often in the future!"
As they said this, they each put their arms around Gao Chongyi and led him into the house.
"Wait, wait!"
Gao Chongyi held the two men back and said, "Don't worry, big brothers."
"Let me ask you two first, do you really treat Xiao Hai as your own son?"
Uncle Jiang straightened his back and said, "Of course!"
Uncle Jiang San also said confidently: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, my in-laws. I only have one daughter. The boy was brought here by my wife who I married later. Although he calls me dad, he can't compare to my blood-related nephew. So, I really treat Xiao Hai as my own son."
Jiang Baohai was listening nearby and almost laughed out loud at the two men's shamelessness.
I was just about to expose it without giving him any face.
Gao Chongyi actually laughed, "That's right, his uncle and third uncle, look, what day is it today?"
The two asked in confusion: "What day?"
Gao Chongyi patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Hai is going to be a father, and you are going to be grandfathers. That will definitely be a happy day!" The two of them smiled suddenly and nodded in agreement: "Ah, right, right."
Uncle Jiang San was pleased and told Jiang Baohai, "Xiao Hai, take good care of your wife."
Jiang Baohai: "No need for Third Uncle to remind me, I will take good care of it."
Gao Chongyi looked at Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang also forced a smile and congratulated his nephew.
"Then let's go inside?" said Uncle Jiang.
After the congratulations were over, the smell of food wafted over from the house, making him so hungry.
I don’t know what delicious food she made, but the old lady from the Gao family is really good at cooking.
The two wanted to go in.
Gao Chongyi stood at the door, smiled at them, rubbed his fingers, and reminded them:
"You can't call your child grandpa for nothing, right?"
Before the two of them could show any surprise, Gao Chongyi continued:
"A biological son and a biological nephew are different. I have to see how good my son-in-law's two uncles, who are closer to him than his father, are to him. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease marrying my precious daughter to your Jiang family?"
Uncle Jiang Da and Uncle Jiang San were dumbfounded.
How can you ask for a red envelope in such a refreshing and refined way?
The two looked at Gao Chongyi, who had a look of questioning, and then at Jiang Baohai, who had a look of expectation.
Finally, they looked at each other - could they take back what they had just said?
"What's wrong? You can't even give your own son a red envelope, and you want to eat the food I cook?"
Old Mrs. Tian suddenly appeared and asked a question with a veiled tone, which made Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang San blush.
Uncle Jiang coughed awkwardly twice: "Um, her grandmother, you can't say that..."
"Then what should I say? How about I, an old woman, raise my glass and offer you two glasses of wine?"
Old Mrs. Tian didn't wait for Uncle Jiang to finish speaking and immediately retorted him.
As soon as he heard the word "toast", Uncle Jiang's face changed.
Looking at Gao Chongyi in front of him with a smile on his face, he finally reacted.
The Gao family's little girl's family came to settle old scores with them.
Old Mrs. Tian came over, looked them up and down, and laughed with her hands on her hips:
"Look at this high-end wool sweater, this impressive leather jacket, and these gleaming leather shoes. These two uncles are quite wealthy. They must have given their own sons at least 500 yuan each in red envelopes to be generous, right?"
"As an old woman from the countryside, I've only ever seen red envelopes worth 200 yuan, not 500 yuan. His uncles should give it to me to open my eyes!"
At this moment, the second and fourth wives, who were secretly hiding outside the wall and eavesdropping, were extremely glad that they had been tactful and left quickly.
Otherwise, if I don’t make some money today, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get away.
Wang Lijuan and her second sister-in-law Zhang Wen looked at each other, and there was one sentence in their eyes - this old lady is not simple!
Old Mrs. Tian is about the same age as Uncle Jiang.
But in terms of seniority, Mrs. Tian is of the same generation as Uncle Gao Jiang.
Uncle Jiang, who always likes to use his status as an elder to bully others, is in trouble today.
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of paying, Old Lady Tian said:
"You keep saying you love your son, but in reality you don't give him a penny. And you still have the nerve to come to my grandson-in-law's house to claim your relationship with him?"
The old lady pointed at the two men and cursed, "Even those who lost their sons weren't as eager as you two to be their fathers!"
"Look carefully, my in-laws are hanging it on the wall! If you want to be my grandson-in-law's father, fine, either give me a red envelope today, or I'll hang it on your wall too. I'll make my grandson-in-law burn incense and kowtow to you two three times a day!"
Uncle Jiang San said angrily: "You, you!"
"What are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Tian slapped away his outstretched fingers!
"When my grandson-in-law has no biological father? You want me to be his father?"
Pointing at Gao Chongyi, he said, "My dear father-in-law is right here. You two are so blind that you can't even see this!"
"Old lady, this is not right..." Uncle Jiang suppressed his anger and humiliation and wanted to communicate again.
Old Mrs. Tian got angry when she saw him. She glanced around, picked up the bamboo broom standing by the wall and hit Uncle Jiang with it.
"You shameless old thing! I hadn't even contacted you last time to ask my granddaughter to toast you, but you came here first. Even if you give me a red envelope for dinner today, I won't let you eat!"
A broom was swung down, and the bamboo stick hit Uncle Jiang's face hard. He screamed in pain and ran away with his head in his hands.
Any counterattack or excuse is useless in front of this old lady who is more ferocious than a tiger or leopard.
Uncle Jiang realized it later and shouted, "Xiao Hai! Xiao Hai!"
Jiang Baohai and his father-in-law Gao Chongyi looked at each other, and then they pretended to stop him.
Gao Chongyi said, "Don't be angry, Mom. His uncle treats Xiao Hai like his own son. He knew the child was going to be a father. How could he come to his house empty-handed for such a great occasion? He must have prepared a red envelope and just forgot to bring it."
"Uncle San, please don't come near. When Grandma gets angry, she's very reckless. Qing He said that anyone who dares to provoke her in the village will be hanged on the wall."
Jiang Baohai looked at his third uncle who was about to rescue Uncle Jiang and kindly advised him.
Seeing that there was no hope of being rescued, Uncle Jiang rushed into the house in anger and slammed the door shut.
Old Mrs. Tian chased after them, panting, threw a broom into the courtyard wall, and spat fiercely at the gate.
"Bah! What a rotten asshole thing!"
How dare she let her precious granddaughter suffer!
