Chapter 207 Uncle Shangrong's House
Rong Mei and Rong Sheng drove to the neighboring village and picked up Zhou Nanxu on the way.
The old house of the Rong family had collapsed a long time ago because no one lived in it. Only the foundation remained, and the area around the foundation was overgrown with weeds, so Rong Sheng drove the car directly to the yard of Uncle Rong's house next door.
Three generations of Uncle Rong's family live together and have not separated until now. There are more than a dozen people in this family, big and small.
Knowing that Rong Sheng's family was coming today, Uncle Rong forcefully detained his three sons at home and did not let them return to his father-in-law's house.
As soon as Rong Sheng parked the car, Uncle Rong and his family came out to greet him.
Led by the eldest uncle, followed closely by the eldest aunt He Cui, they greeted warmly, "Brothers, younger brothers and sisters, nieces, niece-in-law, the whole family, come in and sit down."
Natalia also smiled and looked at the neatly-lined Rong family, "Brother and sister-in-law are so lucky to have such a big family. Happy New Year."
He Cui looked at Rong Mei and Zhou Nanxu with a smile, "What's the point of being happy or unhappy? You live like this every year. You and your brother are really lucky. Look, your niece and her husband are a perfect match. They are both very handsome. The baby they will have in the future will definitely be handsome too. Sister-in-law, you should urge the young couple so that you and your brother can have a grandchild soon."
Natalia shook her head. "Don't worry. The child is still young. I am still a half-grown child. How can I be a good mother?"
He Cui was also very good at observing people's expressions. After hearing the slight change in Natalia's tone, she also changed her tone and nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right. My niece is still young. It won't be a problem for her to play for a few more years."
Rong Sheng was talking to Uncle Rong, while Natalia and He Cui were "exchanging pleasantries".
At times like this, Rong Mei and Zhou Nanxu just needed to stand back and smile politely.
After everyone had exchanged greetings, Rongsheng took the gift from the car and handed it to He Cui.
He Cui took it with a smile that made her mouth unable to close, and said, "Your brother is the same, we are all family, so why bother to bring a gift..."
After taking the gift, she turned around and handed it to her eldest daughter-in-law beside her, asking her to take it inside and put it away.
Seeing that Rongsheng's family had no intention of entering the house, He Cui invited them again, "Let's talk inside. It's cold outside."
Rongsheng politely refused, "Brother and sister-in-law, we won't go in. After visiting our parents, we will go back to our in-laws in Ertuozi Village..."
When He Cui heard that they were leaving, she quickly spoke up to persuade them to stay, "I'm cooking dinner, just eat here. You finally come here after all the years, we're all family, don't be polite. Your eldest brother cleared the weeds at my aunt's place before the New Year, just in case you guys would come back to burn paper for the New Year."
Of course, while speaking, he subtly brought up what Uncle Rong had done to do a favor in front of Rong Sheng.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Rongsheng did not refuse so decisively.
He looked back at his wife, daughter and son-in-law, and smiled awkwardly at He Cui, "Okay, let's go to our parents first and talk about it when we come back. Sister-in-law, don't cook yet."
He Cui pretended not to hear and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Let your elder brother, Jun'er and the others take you there. You can come back together later."
"No need, sister-in-law, we can go by ourselves." This time it was Natalia who refused bluntly.
He Cui gave up and said, "Well, that's fine. It will be fun for your family to go."
After coming out of Uncle Rong's house, Natalia's face instantly fell. She glared at her husband and expressed her opinion on whether to stay at Uncle Rong's house for dinner. "Didn't we agree before we came here that we wouldn't eat at your eldest brother and sister-in-law's house? If you want to stay here for dinner, then you can eat here alone, and I'll go back to my in-laws' house to eat."
To be honest, Natalia originally had no resentment towards Uncle Rong's family. After all, her husband had no relatives left, and even though he was her cousin, they treated him as their own brother and felt that any help they could give would be a helping hand.
Even though his old house was in such a dilapidated state, he didn't spend money to rebuild it. Instead, he helped Uncle Rong's family build a brick house and gave them many benefits on a daily basis.
But in the end, when it came to Rong Mei, the couple, as elders, did not stop her at all.
What if Rong Mei didn't meet a mother-in-law like Liu Rong and a husband like Zhou Nanxu? Wouldn't that be equivalent to ruining her life?
Although she and Rongsheng, as parents, bear the main responsibility in this matter, they blame themselves for being too pampered to their child, allowing him to get whatever he wants, even the stars in the sky, she and Rongsheng would find a way to get them to him. The child had never encountered any setbacks since he was a child, but once he suffered the blow of a broken heart, he could not get over it and began to give up on himself.
But precisely because of this, the child was mentally unhealthy when he came. When Rongsheng sent him here, they gave him money and gifts, and repeatedly told him to help look after the child and to contact them as soon as possible if anything happened.
But how did Uncle Rong's family repay them in the end? They let Rong Mei go directly to her husband's house and said in the letter that they couldn't stop her.
Is she stupid?
The couple is afraid that they can't take the responsibility, so they dare not stop anyone. They would rather let the child fend for himself, as long as nothing happens in their home.
Afterwards, he was afraid that he had offended her and Rongsheng, so he wrote to her frequently, but only mentioned and explained the matter of Rongmei in the first letter.
Later on, there were more "questioning" about whether the couple were angry or estranged from them.
Even Rong Mei went to Ji Province alone, and they only found out about it after they came to the Zhou family. Is this what the couple said, that she was watching over her and would not let the girl be bullied? In the end, they didn't even know where she was.
Rongsheng clicked his tongue. He could feel his wife's anger. He looked to his daughter for help, hoping that his little daughter could plead for him.
Who knew that the little cotton jacket had a leak, and the leak was quite complete.
Rong Mei turned her face away, pretending she hadn't seen it, and her tone was even more resolute than Natalia's, "Don't look at me, I'm going back to have lunch, my elder sister and the second sister's family are still here."
Frustrated, Rong Sheng turned his gaze towards the only hope.
It was soon taken back.
Forget it, he decided not to "humiliate himself". Even though this guy was taller than him, in the end, he was more afraid of his wife than he was.
He coughed lightly and defended himself, "I haven't said I'm dead yet. I told my sister-in-law not to cook for now."
Natalia snorted. "Will your sister-in-law listen to you? Just wait. When you go back, she'll tell you that the food is ready. You can just stay here and eat slowly."
