Chapter 257: Hongmen Banquet



“That’s good.” Shen Wanhua finally felt a little relieved.

An Hongdou changed the subject and said, "People's affection is mutual. If someone treats me as a relative, I will also treat them as a relative. But if someone speaks coldly to me, I will naturally not put my warm face on someone's cold butt. Dad, tell me, is this the truth?"

In one sentence, Pang Chen Wanhua Ye was speechless.

Shen Xiangzhi was still holding the child in his arms, sitting on the sofa beside him, and said: “It was you who insisted on having us come over for dinner, not us coming here on our own. If this family doesn’t welcome us, at worst we won’t come here in the future.”

Without thinking, he knew that someone must have said those words to Shen Yuexin.

He also saw the hostility in her eyes towards An Hongdou and An Changyue at a glance.

At first, he was thinking about not arguing with a child, but now it seems that it’s not a matter of whether he cares or not, but that the other party is unwilling to not care.

Shen Wanhua also knew that they were in the wrong in this matter, so he sighed helplessly and said, “Let’s not talk about future matters for now, today… we have to eat this meal.”

Shen Xiangzhi then stopped talking.

An Hongdou no longer went to help, but went to the yard with An Changyue to get some fresh air.

An Changyue looked at her worriedly and whispered, "Aunt, don't be sad."

She thought that she felt uncomfortable when Xiaohua talked about her behind her back, and her little aunt must feel uncomfortable being called a country girl by others.

"Heh." An Hongdou smiled knowingly and ran her fingers through An Changle's short hair. "Don't worry, little girl. I'm not angry. We live our own lives. No matter what others say, it won't make us lose a single hair anyway."

If she cares about what others say, she will end up tiring herself to death sooner or later.

"Well, what my aunt said makes sense." An Changyue nodded heavily.

"Changyue, grow your hair long from now on. Girls are more beautiful with long hair." Otherwise, you will look like a tomboy.

An Changyue used to have medium-long hair, but it became dry, yellow and frizzy.

Moreover, the conditions in the countryside were poor and it was difficult to wash my hair clean, so I cut my hair short to save trouble.

Then, she used the shampoo given by An Hongdou for her hair for a while. Now her hair is black and shiny. It will definitely be very beautiful if she keeps it.

"Okay." An Changyue smiled with her eyebrows curved. Looking closely, her eyebrows and eyes were actually very similar to An Hongdou.

Perhaps it is because of this that he has a special liking for this little girl.

Of course, there is also the fact that An Changyue is a good child, which naturally makes people feel caring.

The winter in Jiangcheng is still very cold. The children are wrapped up like a ball, making their arms and legs look short.

Li Jing had heard what Shen Yuexin said about An Hongdou a long time ago, but she didn't take it to heart. She even thought it was the truth, so she didn't show up at all.

After the food was ready and on the table, she said politely, "Hongdou, the food is ready. Let the children sit on the sofa and I'll watch them. Why don't you go eat quickly?"

An Hongdou smiled politely, "No need, Aunt Li, you go eat first, I'll go eat later."

Regardless of whether she was sincere or just being polite, as soon as Shen Yuexin said that, she knew how she would face this family in the future.

She was also worried about asking Li Jing to help look after the child.

An Changyue considerately suggested that An Hongdou eat first, as well as Shen Xiangzhi, but she rejected them all.

She had just eaten dumplings not long ago when she came, so she was not very hungry.

Although An Hongdou was unhappy at the moment, she was still within the range of tolerance.

But what happened next made her face turn cold instantly.

As soon as dinner started in the living room, Shen Yuexin said disdainfully to An Changyue, "You are indeed a bumpkin from the countryside, as if you haven't eaten in your entire life."

An Changyue put down the bowl and chopsticks in confusion and explained, "I just want to eat quickly, and then go to help my aunt look after the children. We are all eating, and my aunt hasn't eaten yet."

If she continued to eat so slowly like them, when would it be her aunt's turn to eat?

It's winter, not summer. Food gets cold quickly. By the time her aunt eats it, it might even be lukewarm.

Shen Wanhua's voice scolding Shen Yuexin also followed, "Are you going to eat or not? If not, get out of here and go back to the house!"

Chen Yuexin stopped talking, but An Hongdou picked up Dabao and Erbao and called An Changyue directly, "Changyue, come here and hold Sanbao."

After An Changyue picked up Sanbao, she said, "We are country bumpkins, but at least we know what "education" is."

An Hongdou emphasized these two words and said, "Changyue, let's go."

Having said that, she took the child and left.

Thanks to An Hongdou's great strength, she was able to support the weight of the two children.

At this moment, what she was thinking was that no matter who spoke, she would never come here again.

Shen Wanhua seemed to be on Shen Xiangzhi’s side, but in response to Shen Yuexin’s two provocations, he simply scolded her, but was not cautious at all.

If he wanted to intervene deliberately, she didn't believe Shen Yuexin would dare to say such words a second time.

This shows that he actually agrees with Shen Yuexin's words in his heart.

As early as when she was in Qingshan Village, she knew that her father-in-law looked down on her, a country daughter-in-law. But fortunately he doesn't find fault with me, so it doesn't matter.

But now, things are clearly different.

With Shen Yuexin charging in the front, maybe what she said touched his heart.

However, the other two daughters of the Shen family seem to be okay, but I don’t know what they are thinking.

After all, they are both older, so even if they look fine, it is possible that they are just better at concealing it.

The first time she didn't lose her temper, she was giving Shen Wanhua face, the second time she treated her as a person of clay, she didn't resist, could it be that she was waiting for others to humiliate her for the third time.

As for why she didn't call Shen Xiangzhi, it was also to give him a chance to choose.

An Hongdou didn't expect that her marriage would not lead to conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but conflicts between father-in-law and daughter-in-law!

An Hongdou left, but Shen Xiangzhi did not get up immediately.

Li Jing was also feeling uneasy. Although she felt that her daughter was right, she didn't consider the occasion. Why did this girl say anything?

Doesn't this make things difficult for her?

"We know each other. Don't blame your little sister. You know, she is young and doesn't know much..."

Shen Xiangzhi smiled, with a slightly sarcastic smile, "She is not very old, but age and upbringing are two different things. Don't keep calling others bumpkins, but you are not even as good as the bumpkin she calls you."

After saying that, Shen Xiangzhi turned his gaze to Shen Yuexin, "The bumpkin you mentioned is a brother who is friendly and caring to his younger siblings, but not like you who is full of nonsense and doesn't know any rules. At such a young age, you are like a shrew who complains about everything."

"My friend, this is serious, isn't it?" Li Jing said angrily.

Shen Xiangzhi stood up directly, turned around and left, "Don't let us come to a Hongmen Banquet like this in the future, I don't lack that meal."
