The mother was so cruel that Xiang Youzhi saw that the situation was not right, so he threw away the wooden spear in panic and rushed into his sister's arms.
At the same time, she kept shouting in a baby voice: "Sister, sister, help me, my mother is going to hit me."
The chubby little body hid in his sister's warm arms, looking as if Wang Chunting was out to hunt him down, which made his mother very angry.
The brother and sister have a good relationship, but she, their biological mother, seems like an outsider.
Zhang Jidi sat beside her without interfering in her children's education, letting Wang Chunting teach her grandchildren in front of him, sighing:
"Back when Lihua and the other kids were naughty, Meimei hugged them like this. I didn't know where to hit them with the broomstick."
It's true that the niece looks like her aunt. Xiang Youfeng and Xiang Meimei have always been somewhat similar, and now they look even more alike.
An You held the fussy child in her arms and soothed him, asking, "Speaking of which, why didn't Second Sister come today? I still have a shoe sole trick I want to learn from her."
Xiang Meimei is the one who always attends the family gathering. I feel a little uncomfortable that she was suddenly not here today.
Zhang Jidi sighed, "I'm worried about Chen Wei's brother's marriage. He said he's interested in Li Tao, but she's already engaged to Lian Rendong!"
Not only women, but even men exclaimed at the scene?
Xiang Lili was the first to stand up. "My second brother-in-law's younger brother is called Chen Liang, right? I remember his family was quite well off. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Having seen the happy marriage of Chen Wei and Xiang Meimei, Xiang Lili felt that it would be perfect if Li Tao could marry Chen Liang.
There is no need to be as sweet and loving as Chen Wei and his wife. There will be no problem living like a normal couple.
How come Chen Liang suddenly pops up when they are engaged and about to get married on October 1st?
Zhang Jidi also felt a little regretful for being too anxious with Xiang Lili at the time: "He only realized that Li Tao was a good girl after getting to know her more recently. Plus, his mother was still in mourning, so he didn't dare to tell her..."
Although they didn't say it, people's thoughts cannot be hidden. Sister-in-law Xiang Meimei was the first to notice something was wrong.
After catching the man and questioning him, they finally found out that he had a crush on Li Taoxin, but she was already taken, so he was sad alone.
Wang Chunting, having heard another piece of gossip, pricked up her ears and stopped paying attention to her children: "Why is this guy so stubborn? He could have discussed it with the woman first."
Now that the mother has passed away, of course we have to observe the mourning period for her, otherwise people will gossip about us.
But it doesn't matter that Chen Liang doesn't have a wife. If he meets someone he likes, he can discuss the mourning period before getting engaged. Generally speaking, the woman will agree.
Although Chen Liang's work is mediocre, his brother-in-law Chen Wei is very good. He is the director of the methane plant.
Li Tao is a down-to-earth, hardworking, and loyal girl. Although she is bringing Xian Dani, no, it should be said that she is her niece Li Rongen, she is still a pretty good girl.
Xiang Lili was even more blunt: "Look at the situation at Lian Rendong's house. It's a mess. If Li Tao hadn't insisted on getting married, I think it would be better for her to be single."
It is true that Lian Rendong moved out of home, but he always has to go back during the holidays, and it is a hard time for him.
Facing the crazy ex-fiancée and mother-in-law Zhu Xiu, the harmful sister-in-law Zhou Jinxian, and the indifferent bystanders of the Lian family, just thinking about it is hell mode.
But Li Tao didn't care. She felt that since she came from the countryside, it was good enough for her to have a normal partner.
Generally speaking, the only men who would accept her marrying a woman with a child are those with disabilities who have a lot of troubles at home. Compared to them, Lian Rendong is already a very good partner.
As long as Lian Rendong can't face going back to Lian's house, the two of them can be happy renting a house outside.
Everyone has a different definition of happiness. Li Tao just wants a man to support her family. Love is not important.
Everyone sighed for a while, saying that Chen Liang's idea was ill-timed, and then they stopped talking. After all, the wedding invitations for Lian Rendong and Li Tao's marriage had already been sent out, and all that was left was the wedding banquet.
If Chen Liang had told them before proposing, they would have helped to fight for it. How could they break them up now?
The Xiang family didn't say much about this topic, but the atmosphere in the Chen family had already reached freezing point.
Sitting on the chair, Dad Chen was smoking a pipe, which was rare. He had quit smoking since he took care of his grandson Chen Zhong, but today he started smoking again for the first time.
There's nothing I can do. Who made my damn kid do such a stupid thing again?
When people are worried and can't solve the problem, can they only rely on the power of cigarettes to relieve their emotions?
Chen Liang lowered his head and was scolded. Chen Dani, the oldest, scolded her younger brother harshly, and was really worried about his IQ.
Both sisters, Chen Erni and Chen Sanni, came to mediate, but Xiang Meimei leaned against Chen Wei and didn't want to say anything harsh.
