Chapter 7: Why should I pay it back?
"You unfilial son, you are pushing me towards the second brother now. I will beat you to death today!"
Wang Lanxiu took off her thousand-layer soles and slapped Shen Jianmin, once... twice...
Shen Jianmin's eyes gradually became numb.
"You old lady are so unreasonable!" Zhang Qin stepped forward and pulled the old lady aside. Second aunt Zhu Xiaojing and third aunt Liu Cuiping were also not idle, and they directly stood in front of their brother-in-law.
"I don't respect the old and the young here. If you dare to move again, I can't guarantee that I won't break your old bones!"
Zhang Qin gave Wang Lanxiu a sidelong glance.
Wang Lanxiu had never been treated like this before, so she immediately looked at Shen Jianmin, wanting to say something.
However, she found that her eldest son, who had always been submissive, was looking at her with an extremely indifferent look. However, she could still see disappointment on Shen Jianmin's calm face, which he had never had before.
The words the old lady wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
"Brother, are you going too far? Mom just wants some meat from you. You were born and raised by mom, but you don't even give her a bowl of meat and let outsiders bully her like this. You are so unfilial!"
Shen Jianguo came out of the house at this time and criticized his elder brother righteously.
Shen Jianmin is not good at speaking and can't say anything. He is the type of person who understands everything but can't say a word during an argument.
Chen Jintao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "Second Uncle, if you are filial, go buy some meat for my grandma?"
"You damned girl, you have no right to interrupt when your elders are talking. How dare you talk to me like that? Whoever marries you will be unlucky for the rest of his life!"
Shen Jianguo was immediately furious when his true thoughts were exposed.
The Huo family members are still here. For him, as the second uncle, to say such things is clearly saying that the Huo family is blind to fall for such a daughter-in-law.
Huo Nanxi was spoiled when she grew up at home, so there was no such thing as being afraid or not.
Although she didn't really like her future sister-in-law, Chen Jintao, she didn't like outsiders talking about her family like that.
"My family is pretty lucky. At least I didn't marry a heartless person. After the engagement, she ate so much of my family's food, but she didn't mention it at all when she broke off the engagement. Speaking of which, my family seemed to have given her a watch as a token of love when we got engaged. Shouldn't it be returned to the original owner after the engagement was broken off?"
Shen Jintao looked at Huo Nanxi in surprise. She didn't expect her to speak for her. Although the two families had a good relationship, Huo Nanxi had always disliked her ever since she fell in love with Lu Qingshan.
But I have to say that what Huo Nanxi said was very good, and it made her feel comfortable all over.
"Why should I pay it back? Huo Beichuan was the one who wronged me first!"
Before Shen Jianguo could say anything, Shen Chunmiao exploded.
After she said this, Shen Jianguo and Xie Lanzhi did not express their opinions, obviously agreeing with her statement.
A watch would cost a lot of money, and they couldn't afford it now anyway.
Shen Jintao hadn't thought about the watch before, but now that Huo Nanxi has brought it up, she can't be left to fight alone.
"Chen Chunmiao, you must be mistaken! First of all, you pushed me into the water. Secondly, Huo Beichuan has never done anything wrong to you. He would save anyone who falls into the water because he is a glorious PLA soldier. If you want to withhold the engagement token because of this, then I think we can really report it to the police!"
She had a watch. The one Huo Beichuan bought for her was much more expensive than the one the Huo family had given to Chen Chunmiao before.
But she just didn't want to make Chen Chunmiao comfortable. From the moment she pushed herself into the water, they were no longer sisters.
"Yes, it was you who pushed Chen Jintao, how can you blame my brother?" Huo Nanxi was always unreasonable, so don't even think about letting her off.
Chen Chunmiao was so stunned by this that he didn't know what to say. His face flushed red. "Anyway, it was given to me when we got engaged, so it's mine. No one said I have to give it back if we break off the engagement!"
This is clearly shameless.
"Well, wear it. Tomorrow I will go to the police and sue you for appropriating military property. I don't know if your brother Qingshan will still want you after he finds out you have a criminal record!"
Chen Jintao looked at Chen Chunmiao with a smile in her eyes, and as expected, a hint of panic appeared in Chen Chunmiao's eyes.
She was not in a hurry and just looked at Chen Chunmiao until Chen Chunmiao could no longer hold it in.
"Isn't it just a watch? Only a rag picker like you would consider it a good thing. I tell you, I can have as many things like this as I want in the future. But you, you will never have a good life in this life!"
These words sound like a curse to those who are not in the know. The Huo family has no other advantages except one thing, which is that they are very protective of their own shortcomings.
"Don't worry about whether Taozi can live a good life after marrying my son. You should worry about yourself. You are rushing to marry that educated youth who can't lift anything with his hands or shoulders. I want to see how you can live!"
Liu Guifen was angry, but after saying this, she realized something was wrong. After all, Chen Jintao had also been chasing after that educated youth before. If she said this, would her future daughter-in-law think she was targeting her?
She quickly added, "Our Taozi has good taste and knows that kind of man is not worth having."
"Puchi!" Shen Jintao laughed out loud. In fact, she didn't feel angry at all. Now that she was awake and compared it carefully, even if the things that happened later in the dream were fake, Lu Qingshan was not even a fraction as good as Huo Beichuan.
"Yes, even if I was blind before, I can see clearly now. If you think you can live a good life with your brother Qingshan, then go ahead. Anyway, don't take things that don't belong to you!"
Chen Chunmiao immediately took off his watch, "Shua!"
The watch hit Chen Jintao's face directly. Chen Jintao dodged subconsciously. After dodging, she didn't hear the sound of the watch falling to the ground. When she turned around, she found that Huo Beichuan had caught the watch.
Huo Beichuan's expression was not very good, not because of the watch that had been worn by Shen Chunmiao, but because Shen Chunmiao's action just now almost hurt Shen Jintao.
"Apologize!"
Huo Beichuan's eyes were cold without a trace of warmth. He was a man who had experienced the baptism of battlefields. His momentum suddenly increased. How could Shen Chunmiao withstand it?
"I... why should I apologize to her? You... you asked me to pay it back and I paid it back. She wanted to stand there on her own!"
