Chapter 42 Who Do You Think You Are?
Several people stood up when they heard the sound. Gao Wen came in from outside and saw Gao Cheng standing in front of the sofa with a red face.
“…”
“…”
The moment their eyes met, Gao Wen's eyes suddenly turned red.
"You're back. Where's your dad?" Gao Wen's mother broke the atmosphere.
Gao Wen retracted her gaze and quickly adjusted her mood: "Oh, behind."
"Tian Xin, why are you here?" Gao Wen walked over and sat next to Tian Xin.
"I was passing by and came to see you." Tian Xin patted Gao Wen.
"Wenwen, you go walk around with your classmates. I'll go cook. Stay for a quick meal today."
Gao Wen's mother got up and went to the kitchen.
Tian Xin quickly followed: "Don't bother Auntie, we'll just sit for a while and then leave."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. It's a rare visit for me. I'll have dinner before I leave."
"It's really not a bother, Auntie, we'll just sit for a while and leave."
"Girl, come here and talk to your aunt."
"Auntie heard that you made dried persimmons in your village. Is that true? Where you are..."
Zhang Shuai, Gao Wen, and Gao Cheng were the only ones left in the room. Seeing Tian Xin leave, Zhang Shuai turned and left as well. When he reached the main door, he saw a group of old men playing chess, and he watched for a while.
Gao Wen and Gao Cheng sat in the room awkwardly.
"I……"
"I……"
The two said in unison.
"You go first..."
"You go first..."
Hey, what a tacit understanding!
"Are you okay?" Gao Cheng looked at Gao Wen.
"fine."
"I heard... you're getting married, is that true?"
"Yes...it's true!" Gao Wen spoke with difficulty, not daring to look up at Gao Cheng.
“…”
“…”
Silence again!
Gao Cheng opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was extremely awkward!
Gao Wen looked at him, wanting to say something but unable to speak for a moment.
The two of them just sat there awkwardly!
At this time, two men walked in. One looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and the other was about the same age as them.
The two walked straight into the living room.
"Are there guests?" The older one spoke first.
"Oh, Dad, this is a friend of mine in the ancient city, Gao Cheng. This is my dad, and this is..."
"Li Ming." Li Ming interrupted Gao Wen and stretched out his hand to Gao Cheng.
"Hello, uncle!" Gao Cheng shook hands with Li Ming.
"Sit down, sit down, sit down, everyone." Mr. Gao invited everyone to sit down.
Gao Wen and Gao Cheng sat on the sofa, while Li Ming and Gao's father sat on the chairs opposite.
Father Gao glanced at Gao Cheng, then at his daughter whose face was as red as a persimmon, and he immediately understood what was going on!
"Come here, come sit here!" Gao's father invited Li Ming to sit next to Gao Wen.
Li Ming sat down on the sofa, put his arm around Gao Wen's shoulders, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, took out a lighter and handed it to Gao Wen, and said to Gao Wen with a foul mouth: "Come on, wife, light up your husband's cigarette!"
Gao Wen's face flushed with anger, and she struggled to avoid his hand, but the more she tried to avoid it, the tighter Li Ming's hand held on to her, and he kept moving his mouth closer to her.
Mr. Gao took a look and turned to leave.
Gao Cheng's anger suddenly shot up to the top of his head.
He stood up and walked over to Li Ming, pulled Gao Wen away, and took the lighter: "I'll light it for you!"
Li Ming tilted his head and dodged for a moment, and the cigarette failed to light.
"I want my wife to order, why are you joining in the fun?" Li Ming looked up at Gao Cheng with his eyes slanted.
Gao Cheng was very tall, and wearing a long coat made him look even taller. He looked down at Li Ming, who was curled up on the sofa. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were full of fire.
"Let me do it. My hands are steady!" Gao Cheng held the lighter close to Li Ming's mouth.
When Gao Wen saw her father leave, she couldn't control her grievance and burst into tears.
When Gao Cheng heard Gao Wen crying, he stopped and turned to look at Gao Wen, saying softly: "Don't cry, I'm here, don't be afraid!"
The two people in the kitchen were chatting excitedly. When they heard crying, they hurried in to see what was going on.
"Why are you crying?" Mother Gao ran to Gao Wen and asked her.
When Li Ming saw someone coming in, he sat up straight, snatched the lighter from Gao Cheng's hand and lit the cigarette himself.
Tian Xin came over, patted Gao Wen on the back, and pulled her aside.
Mother Gao glanced at Li Ming and Gao Cheng, then at Gao Wen, and basically figured out what was going on!
She said to her daughter: "Wenwen, you can't do this. After the wedding ceremony tomorrow, you will be Li Ming's daughter-in-law. You will be laughed at by people like this!"
Then he shouted outside: "Dad, come in and sit with the baby!"
Gao's father came in upon hearing the noise, and as soon as he saw Gao Wen crying, he began to blame her: "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. What's there to cry about? Tomorrow we'll pay the betrothal gifts, and you two will be husband and wife. Why are you still crying?"
When Li Ming saw that the two elders were speaking for him, he immediately became arrogant and said to Gao Wen: "Yes, my parents are right. Starting tomorrow, you will be my wife. What's wrong with lighting a cigarette when we are together?
My family paid 100,000 yuan for you to marry me, what else are you not satisfied with? Go out and ask around, where else can you find such a high betrothal gift in this area? Is that right? Dad, Mom?
When Mr. and Mrs. Gao heard this, they quickly nodded and replied, "Ah. Yes, yes, yes!"
Gao Cheng and Tian Xin listened from the side and were so angry that their fists clenched.
Li Ming was still chattering: "My dad said that you don't have to work after you get married. As long as you can give birth to a son for our family, he will reward you 10,000 yuan for each one. We have a car and a house..."
“Hahahahaha…” Gao Cheng suddenly laughed out loud.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"I thought all the way here, what kind of person could snatch Gao Wen away? Haha..." Gao Cheng stood up straight and walked to Li Ming, looking down at him and saying word by word: "Now I understand, who do you think you are?"
"Watch your fucking mouth! Who the hell am I? Go out and ask around!"
"Young man, stop talking. Li Ming is the son of Director Li from our factory. They are going to have a wedding ceremony tomorrow. Don't talk nonsense!" Mother Gao said to Gao Cheng.
"The betrothal gift will be paid tomorrow? Auntie, if I understand correctly, they will pay the betrothal gift tomorrow and you will hand Gao Wen over to him, right?"
Gao Cheng turned to Gao's parents and, without waiting for their response, said, "You know this guy is like this, right?"
Gao's father and mother did not answer.
Gao Cheng continued, "She's your daughter, not a possession. Why would you marry her to someone like that? You're doing this in front of everyone. How can Gao Wen have a good life in the future? Have you ever thought about her?"
"What's your business? Why do you have to worry about our affairs? Who are you?" Li Ming yelled at Gao Cheng.
"What do you care who I am? Listen, I won't be able to pass this ceremony tomorrow. Take your money and get out of here!"
