Chapter 182: Mother and Daughter Talk
Father Xu's eyes met the cold expression of the man beside him. He moved his wrist and felt a piercing pain.
Just look at the man's imposing appearance and the pair of shiny leather boots on his feet. In the past, such boots would only be worn by the children of landlords and capitalists.
Come to think of it, this person is not an ordinary person.
A thought flashed through Xu's father's mind. He thought for a moment, shook his hands, closed his mouth and stopped arguing with the man.
But his eyes were still fixed on Xu's mother who was sitting steadily on the bench, and his resentment towards the woman was about to overflow from his chest.
This damn woman, seeing that he was in trouble, didn't even bother to step forward to stop him.
Xu's mother subconsciously moved her stool closer and moved closer to Xu Xiaoyue's position.
Xu Xiaoyue followed her gaze and discovered that Father Xu actually dared to look at them with a menacing look.
She turned her head, looked at Yan Ye who was standing next to her, and said casually, "Pull him out first."
Of course Yan Ye knew who this "he" was referring to.
The man didn't ask her why. He strode up to Xu's father and dragged him towards the door.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Father Xu wanted to struggle again, but Yan Ye didn't give him the chance. He closed the door and a gloomy voice came from inside, "You'd better behave yourself."
After saying that, he locked the person outside.
Xu's mother paused, stood up and was about to follow him out. She was a rural woman who was used to being honest. She had been bullied all her life and had long been numb to it.
The most rebellious thing he did was to muster up the courage to send Xu Xiaoyue to the capital.
She had just left the stool when Xu Xiaoyue reached out and pulled her over.
"Mom, just sit still."
"Let me introduce you. This is... my boyfriend."
Facing Yan Ye's direct gaze, Xu Xiaoyue was stuck for a rare moment.
After Xu Xiaoyue finished speaking, the man nodded towards Xu's mother and said, "Hello, auntie. You can just call me Xiaoye."
At this time, his attitude towards Xu's mother could even be described as gentle and polite, which was completely different from what he showed in front of Xu's father.
Mother Xu nodded in a daze, thinking to herself that if she remembered correctly, the man her daughter was engaged to had a name of three characters.
I heard from an old man in the village that his name was Nian Yan Li, and he was about the same age as Xiaoyue.
Where did this Yan Ye come from? He looks tall and doesn't seem to be only in his early twenties.
Xu's mother thought about it and thought that maybe the young man changed his name halfway through.
Xu Xiaoyue really didn't expect that her mother had so many thoughts in her mind. Seeing her mother shrinking her body, she thought about Xu's father outside the door.
"You will stay and sleep with me tonight."
Judging from the way Xu's father always beat people up, he must have beaten her in private.
After what happened today, Xu's father must be furious.
What Xu Xiaoyue hates most is this kind of incompetent man who likes to beat his wife. If it weren't for Xu's mother's face, she would not let Yan Ye let him go so easily.
When Xu's mother heard what Xu Xiaoyue said, her first reaction was to refuse.
"How can this be possible? If I don't go back, who will cook and boil water for him?"
As she spoke, she thought of the expression on Xu's father's face just now and felt a little scared.
Xu Xiaoyue patted her hands and said, "Mom, if you don't cook for him, is it possible that he will starve to death?"
"Besides, if you go back, what if he's still angry and hits you? What will you do?"
Xu's mother was silent for a moment, then she moved her lips to retort that it was like this in the village and every woman was beaten by a man.
Once you get used to it, you'll be able to bear it.
Seeing her submissive look, Xu Xiaoyue had no intention of convincing her mother to change her mind so quickly.
She held Xu's mother's rough hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's make it a deal. You stay with me tonight."
After saying that, Xu Xiaoyue raised her eyes and met Yan Ye's gaze. Without her saying a word, the man understood what she meant.
"I'll go talk to him."
Mother Xu looked up at the young man, nodded, and couldn't help but agreed.
Knowing that she wouldn't have to go back and face that face tonight, Xu's mother breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and the tense expression on her face eased a little.
She seemed to have regained her thoughts, looked at her daughter in front of her, and asked the questions that had been accumulating for a long time.
"Are you having a good time here?"
She came all the way from the countryside, and took a train for several days and nights to get here with a letter of introduction. Along the way, in addition to witnessing the wonders of the big city, she also met many difficult people who claimed to be city people and looked down on them who were from the country.
People in big cities seem to be born with a superior attitude, and they try to avoid people like them who come from the country.
Xu's mother was surprised at first, but after a while she got used to the superiority complex these days.
She was only worried about her daughter, wondering if she would have to take the same train ride for several days and nights to get here again.
Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips, a look of grievance on her face.
Although her biological father did not love her, fortunately her mother still had some feelings for her. Although this feeling was mixed with some other elements, it was hard-earned.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had something to say, Yan Ye felt that he did not want to be a light bulb, so he found an excuse to go out.
After everyone left, Xu's mother held Xu Xiaoyue's hand and whispered, "Is he the child marriage arranged by the Yan family?"
"When are you planning to hold your wedding? Do you have a baby?"
Hearing the woman's direct question, Xu Xiaoyue coughed twice in embarrassment. She didn't expect the woman's question to be so direct.
She glared at her mother and whispered, "How could that be possible!"
In this day and age, if you get pregnant before getting married, you will be criticized by others, but she is not that stupid. ,
Xu's mother's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she couldn't help but persuade him: "You know, according to our family's conditions, the Yan family is willing to recognize this marriage, which can be regarded as a good match for us."
"You've been here for half a year, and there's been no movement. What do they mean? How about I go and ask the head of the family some other day?"
It is true that Xu's mother loves her daughter, and it is also true that she wants to climb the social ladder.
Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips and said, "It's too early. I don't want to think about this yet. Let's talk about it later."
Upon hearing her words, the woman immediately became anxious, "Early? You've been here for more than half a year. Tell mom honestly, is this thing going to work out? If they really don't like us, there are so many people in this capital. With your looks, you can't find a guy to marry?"
