He Ping has two aunts.
The eldest aunt’s personality is very similar to He Ping’s father. They are all gentle people.
Because my second aunt was the youngest child, she was spoiled by her grandparents since she was young.
Later, before my grandparents passed away, they married my second aunt to an ordinary family surnamed Liu in the center of City B.
Then she gave birth to a son.
He Ping's second uncle's family was originally just an ordinary family.
Later, not long after He Ping's second aunt got married, her husband's family encountered demolition and received more than 5 million yuan in compensation and three houses in the city center.
After my second uncle took the money, he invested in business. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to have my business grow bigger and bigger.
After more than 20 years, he has earned hundreds of millions of dollars.
Originally, He Ping's second aunt had a very eccentric personality. Thinking that he had only finished junior high school, he looked down on his older brother and second sister who had not received much education.
Later, after becoming rich through demolition, He Ping's second aunt felt even more superior. I looked down on He Ping and my aunt's family even more.
During the usual New Year gatherings, He Ping's father and aunt's family were also bullied in various ways.
As the saying goes, people from the same family tend to stick together.
The second aunt despises the poor and loves the rich, and so do her husband and son.
Today, the reason why He Ping's second aunt and her family of three came to He Ping's house was to propose marriage to He Ping.
But before she could even utter the matchmaking words, she heard that He Ping's boyfriend's family wanted to invite He Ping's family to dinner at the Xingyue Hotel.
Second aunt and her family shouted and came over.
The car stopped in the parking lot outside the entrance of Xingyue Hotel.
Because it was noon and it was a weekday. So there are not many cars in front of Xingyue Hotel.
After getting off the car, the second aunt looked at the big words on the entrance of Xingyue Hotel and complained to her second uncle beside her: "This Yangcheng is just small. Look, after so many years, there is still only one four-star hotel. It's nothing like our city center, where there are two five-star hotels."
While speaking, the second aunt kept raising her hands, deliberately showing off the gold bracelet and the big diamond ring on her hands.
"You said we are in the city center. Yangcheng is just a town in City B. It's good enough to have a four-star hotel like this. We can barely eat two bites at noon today. If it doesn't suit your appetite, we can go back to our five-star hotel in the city center to have a good meal in the evening."
The second uncle also raised his right hand with his newly bought gold watch on it and pretended to shake it in front of He Ping and others.
On the surface, it was consolation, but in reality, his words and expressions showed contempt for the four-star hotel in front of him.
To put it more deeply, it means looking down on people like He's father who live in the town of Yangcheng.
At the same time, show off your wealth.
Their son Liu Tao, who was standing nearby, spoke even more bluntly.
"Uncle, your in-laws are too stingy. Why do they come to such a small hotel to discuss the marriage? At least they should go to a five-star hotel in the city center. Do they look down on you, or do they look down on us?"
He Ping's brother, He Chao, raised his eyebrows and said, "Liu Tao, you're going too far. Xingyue Hotel is a four-star hotel no matter what, and it's the best hotel in Yangcheng. We are all from Yangcheng, there's no need to go to the city center just for a meal."
He Chao really disliked his second aunt's family.
However, due to our relationship as relatives, it is not appropriate to say anything too extreme.
"I think the reason they didn't go to the city center for dinner wasn't because it was far. It was because He Ping's boyfriend didn't have money, right?" Liu Tao said with disdain, "I heard that her boyfriend couldn't even afford the 100,000 yuan betrothal gift. I don't know how you guys like such a poor guy."
"Xiao Tao, what are you talking about? Marrying a daughter doesn't necessarily mean she has to marry a rich man. The Qiu family doesn't have much money. But Shuanzi has good character and is motivated. He is a good child." Father He strongly disagreed with Liu Tao's words.
When he was young, he thought his nephew was smart and cute.
The older he gets, the more crooked his character becomes. He was completely corrupted by his sister and brother-in-law.
"That's right. Our Xiaoping likes people, not money. As long as the person has good character and our Xiaoping likes him, that's enough. Not everyone wants to marry a rich man." He's mother didn't want to bring the family of three here today.
It was this family of three who insisted on coming along.
Since you are here, why do you have to show off? That’s fine. She even secretly slandered He Ping's boyfriend Qiu Shuanzi. How could He's mother tolerate this?
"Brother and sister-in-law, you are wrong. In today's world, you don't need money? You can't live without money. If Xiaoping marries a poor boy, she will not even have enough food to eat in the future. It will be too late to regret. Marrying a rich man is different. Even if things are not good, you will not starve to death."
He Ergu acted on He Ping's behalf and advised her, "Xiao Ping, you are still young, don't listen to your parents' nonsense. If you want to get married, you have to marry a rich man. If you marry those poor boys, you will cry in the future. Second aunt, I will introduce you to a young master from a rich family, who is handsome and rich. I guarantee you will like him."
He Ping looked unhappy and pouted, "Don't worry about who I should marry. I don't like rich men. I like Shuanzi who treats me well."
He Ping didn't believe that her second aunt would be so kind as to introduce her to some tall, rich and handsome man.
When my second aunt heard that I had found a boyfriend from the countryside, she was so happy.
Now she suddenly acted as if she was doing good for her and even said she would introduce her to a rich boyfriend.
He Ping didn't believe that she would be so kind.
There must be another purpose.
"Girl, why are you so stubborn?" Seeing that He Ping was not willing to listen, the second aunt was a little angry. "Don't you think about your conditions and marry such a poor boy? Isn't that embarrassing for me? If this matter gets out, how can I have any face left?"
"So, Second Aunt said so much just for your face?" He Chao snorted coldly: "If Second Aunt feels embarrassed, she can go back. We didn't force Second Aunt to have dinner with us, right?"
"He Chao, how do you talk to your second aunt?" The second uncle's husband put his hands behind his back and criticized her like a boss, "Why don't you apologize to your second aunt quickly? What do you mean by college students? Don't you even know how to respect your elders?"
"If you want others to respect you, you must first respect others. What my brother said is not wrong. If you feel ashamed, why bother to come with us to eat?"
He Ping had absolutely no intention of bringing her second aunt's family to Qiu Shuanzi and the others to cause trouble for them.
"How dare you talk to us like this?" Second Aunt pointed at the two siblings and said angrily to Father He: "Brother, look at your good son and daughter."
"Okay, stop arguing." Father He glared at his daughter and son, "You two are so disrespectful. How can you talk to your elders like that?"
Just when Second Aunt thought that Father He was going to criticize the two siblings, Father He turned around and said to Second Aunt's family with a stern face: "Second sister, second brother-in-law, you too. What shame is there? He is my son-in-law, not yours. We have no objection. What are you talking about here? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"That's right. Since you think Xingyue Hotel is not up to par, you can go back to the five-star hotel in the city center for dinner. We won't force you to stay." Mother He said to Father He with a cold face, "Husband, hurry up. You have been standing at the door for so long. My in-laws must have been waiting for a long time."
It's now ten minutes late for the agreed time.
He's mother didn't want the Qiu family to think that the He family was deliberately trying to intimidate them.
If Qiu's family misunderstands, their daughter will be the one who suffers.
"Okay, then let's go in quickly and don't keep our in-laws waiting for too long. Second sister, if you don't want to go in, go back." Father He waved to Second Aunt and the others, and then took He Ping and the others and walked straight into the hotel without looking back.
In fact, Dad He doesn't like Second Aunt's family either.
After all, they are a family of three and their words are really unpleasant.
But because she was his own sister, He's father had to endure it.
Seeing that He's father and the others really ignored them, Second Aunt was very angry.
"This is too much. Big Brother and his friends actually gave us a cold shoulder for that poor boy. And those two little bastards He Chao and He Ping were simply spoiled by Big Brother and his friends. Tsk, do you really think we want to have that meal?"
"Since you don't want it, let's go." Liu Tao curled his lips and said, "I really don't know why you come to visit a poor relative like my uncle. I'm so sleepy after getting up so early in the morning."
"Why are you leaving?" The second uncle glared at him and said, "We came here for that girl He Ping. If we leave now, won't it really let her get engaged to that poor boy?"
"I really don't know how Director Zhao's son fell in love with that girl He Ping. If it wasn't for the cooperation with Director Zhao, I wouldn't come here to suffer the anger of their whole family."
Today, Second Aunt and her family came back to see their eldest brother, and they came all for He Ping.
Their company needed to cooperate with Director Zhao, but Director Zhao had not agreed.
The day before yesterday, Director Zhao’s son Zhao Bingyi somehow found out that they were relatives of He Ping’s family. So I went to their house in person and negotiated the terms with them.
Zhao Bingyi said that if we want to cooperate with their factory, it’s okay.
However, He Ping must be persuaded to break up with her boyfriend.
Because Zhao Bingyi fell in love with He Ping.
When He Ergu heard the conditions proposed by Zhao Bingyi, she agreed immediately without thinking.
Originally, when He Ergu found out that He Ping was dating a boyfriend from the countryside, she was feeling gloating. She enjoyed seeing her eldest brother's family make a fool of themselves.
After all, she actually looked down on her current husband at first.
At that time, it was her parents and older brothers and sisters who forced her to marry her current husband.
Although her life got better after she got married.
But in her heart she always resented the fact that He's father and others forced her to get married.
So, over the years, she would go to He's father's house every year to show off and find fault.
She is happy only when He's father and his family are not doing well.
He Ping found a boyfriend from the countryside, and she was so happy at that time.
Now that Zhao Bingyi said he liked He Ping, for the sake of her own company, Second Aunt had no choice but to come to He Ping for matchmaking with reluctance.
If she had a daughter, she would never give such a good opportunity to that damn girl He Ping.
Although Director Zhao is like their family, he only has a net worth of over 100 million.
But Director Zhao has many connections. Know many important people in City B. Director Zhao's connections are what they need most.
"Then are we going in? If we don't go in now, we won't be able to catch up." Liu Tao looked impatient.
"Go, of course we have to go. Let's go." Second Aunt dragged Liu Tao and chased after them.
When Mr. He and the others saw that Second Aunt and the others were chasing after them, they suddenly felt uncomfortable.
I thought they had left, but unexpectedly, they caught up with me.
This person is really shameless.
He Chao sneaked up to He Ping and whispered to her, "Xiao Ping, they are obviously coming here for you. I don't know what they are up to. You better be careful."
He Ping nodded, "I understand."
She had already sensed that Second Aunt and the others had ulterior motives.
In the end, Dad He had no choice but to take Second Aunt and her family into private room 206.
Qiu Shui and his friends arrived half an hour early.
As the agreed time was approaching and He Ping and others had not shown up yet, Qiu Shuanzi became a little anxious.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? Are they not coming?"
Qiu Shuanzi stood up somewhat uneasily, opened the door of the private room for the tenth time, and looked outside.
Because he was going to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law today, Qiu Shuanzi changed into his best clothes before going out.
Fifth Uncle and Qiu Daqing also changed into their best clothes.
I pack everything neatly before going out.
Seeing Qiu Shuanzi walking around, the fifth uncle became impatient, "You kid, your butt is on fire, right? Come back and do it quickly. Stop walking around, making me dizzy."
Qiu Daqing also looked down and said, "Maybe it's just a traffic jam. It's only been a few minutes. Don't be anxious. Come back and sit down. If your in-laws see you so impatient, how can they trust their daughter to you?"
"Okay." Qiu Shuanzi closed the door of the private room dejectedly and sat down in the seat next to Qiu Daqing.
However, he was still worried, so he picked up his phone and said, "How about I send a message to Xiao Ping to ask?"
Qiu Shui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shuanzi, don't worry. Since He Ping said she would come, she will definitely not let us down. Be patient and wait a little longer. Maybe they encountered something on the way."
"Okay." After hearing Qiu Shui's words, Qiu Shuanzi could only reluctantly put down his phone.
He also knew that one should not rush a woman's family when having dinner with them. That would be very rude.
When Qiu Shui saw him like this, she knew that he didn't listen.
Shaked his head helplessly.
Lou Yuchen, who was sitting nearby, picked up the teapot and was about to add hot tea to Qiu Shui's empty teacup when he discovered that the teapot was empty.
Lou Yuchen waved to the waiters behind him, then handed them the teapot and asked them to add more water.
The second pot of tea had just been brewed when the door of the private room was pushed open.
"Xiao Ping, you are here."
When Qiu Shuanzi saw He Ping and the others finally arrived, he immediately went to greet them happily.
He Ping couldn't help blushing when she saw Qiu Shuanzi, who was dressed particularly handsomely today.
When Qiu Shuanzi saw He Ping, who looked particularly beautiful with makeup on today, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
Fortunately, he was still rational. When he saw He Ping's father, mother and others following behind him, he quickly greeted them, "Uncle, aunt, big brother."
"I guess you've been waiting for a long time. Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road and I'm late."
He's father and mother said apologetically.
"It's okay, we just got here not long ago. The traffic jam is normal. There was a traffic jam when we came here too. Please take a seat." Fifth Uncle stood up and greeted us.
After the two families exchanged greetings, they sat down.
He Ping sat next to Qiu Shuanzi.
He's father and others sat next to He Ping.
Fifth uncle and his family had already met He's father and mother before. So, no further introduction is needed.
It’s just that Fifth Uncle and his family have never met He Ergu and the others.
So Father He smiled and introduced Second Aunt and others to Fifth Uncle and others, "This is my second sister, brother-in-law, and my nephew."
"Hello, second aunt and uncle, hello, cousin." Qiu Shuanzi greeted the second aunt and her family of three very warmly.
Uncle Wu and Qiu Daqing also greeted with a smile, "Hello."
As a result, my second aunt and the others looked disdainful when they saw my fifth uncle and the others dressed like country folk. He didn't even glance at his fifth uncle and the others.
The attitude is very arrogant.
This immediately made my fifth uncle and the others look embarrassed.
This also made Qiu Shuanzi a little confused.
Because this was also the first time Qiu Shuanzi met He Ping's second aunt and others. He didn't know how he and others had offended them. Only then will they show their displeasure.
When He Ping saw her second aunt and her family, she gave Qiu Shuanzi's family the cold shoulder as soon as they entered the house. The smile on his face froze.
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen originally wanted to greet them, but after seeing their attitude, they frowned at the same time.
It seems that He Ping's second aunt and her family have come with bad intentions!
When Mr. He saw the attitude of his sister's family, he immediately regretted letting them come along.
After turning his head and glaring at them, Father He turned back and smiled awkwardly at Uncle Five and the others, "Sorry, there was a traffic jam just now and they were a little carsick, so they are not in good condition."
"Oh, it turns out you are carsick! No wonder. Drink some hot tea and calm down." Although the fifth uncle knew that this was just an excuse made by He's father for them, he still followed He's father's advice.
"Yes, these two are..." Father He looked at Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen. Change the subject.
Are these two young men also from the Qiu family? How come I haven't seen them before?
Judging from his appearance and temperament, he doesn’t look like a country boy!
Father He was somewhat shocked by Qiu Shui's extraordinary temperament and Lou Yuchen's extraordinary appearance.
As soon as Mother He sat down, she also noticed Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen sitting opposite her.
There's no way, the two of them are too conspicuous. Sitting together with my fifth uncle and the others, I seemed out of place.
"Oh, this is my nephew Qiu Shui and his husband." Qiu Daqing introduced.
"Nephew? I didn't expect that Brother Qiu has such an outstanding nephew." Father He smiled in surprise and said, "Your nephew's husband also has an extraordinary temperament."
"Of course, Brother He's son is also a handsome man." Although Qiu Daqing is honest and simple, he is still good at saying some polite words.
Besides, He Ping's brother He Chao is indeed a good guy.
He graduated from a prestigious university and is tall and handsome. He is much better than Liu Tao, who is a little fat and has acne all over his face.
"Tsk, what's so great about that? We're all poor fellows." As soon as Liu Tao came in, he immediately noticed Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen.
He is narrow-minded and hates people who are poor but better looking than him.
Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen are exactly the types he hates the most.
As soon as Liu Tao said this, the scene fell into silence.
"Shut up." He Chao glared at Liu Tao fiercely, "If you can't speak, then don't speak."
Does this guy want to die? He actually dared to offend the family of his sister's future husband in such an occasion.
Isn't this causing trouble for his sister?
When the second aunt heard that He Chao dared to confront her son, she immediately became unhappy.
"What are you doing? Our Xiao Tao is not wrong. They are poor. They are poor, but they don't want others to say anything? Look at what they are wearing. From head to toe, the total value of their clothes should not exceed one thousand yuan. It is not even enough for a meal for us."
"And this private room. I wanted to say something as soon as I came in. This room is so small, but there are so many people sitting in it. It's so crowded. Can't we change to a bigger one?"
"That's right. How can we sit in such a small place?" The second uncle said directly to the two waiters in the private room: "Waiter, do you have a bigger private room? There are so many of us. Please give us the biggest one."
The two of them completely regarded themselves as the hosts of this dinner party.
He Ping and the others' faces suddenly darkened.
Although this private room is not very big, it is not small either.
A large table, more than enough to seat twenty people.
Second Aunt and the others actually said that this private room is so small that no one can sit in it?
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
My fifth uncle and the others looked so embarrassed that they didn't know what to do.
Because this private room is extremely luxurious for them.
It was also their first time to dine in such a luxurious place.
Now, the girl's second aunt and second uncle had just sat down for a short while and they started to find fault.
This made Fifth Uncle and the others wonder if the woman was deliberately making things difficult for them.
"Second sister, what are you doing?" Father He turned around and glared at them, then turned around and said to Uncle Five and the others with a smile, "Sorry, they were just joking, Uncle Qiu, don't take it to heart."
However, this time He Ergu came deliberately to disrupt the marriage of He Ping and Qiu Shuanzi.
So, he shouted directly to Uncle Wu and the others, "I'm not kidding. What I just said is the truth. If you don't have money to change, my family will pay for it ourselves. I don't want to eat in such a crowded place."
Second Aunt yelled at the two waiters, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and give us a bigger private room."
When He Ping heard her second aunt say such words, she became so angry that her eyes turned red.
This is too much, how could they be so excessive.
The two waiters looked at each other and finally looked at Qiu Shui.
Then he asked Qiu Shui, "Mr. Qiu, this..."
This private room was booked in Qiu Shui's name, so the waiter needed to ask Qiu Shui for permission.
Qiu Shui glanced coldly at He Ergu's family of three and said coldly, "Since these three think our private room is too small, then you can take them to your largest private room. Our 50-square-meter private room really can't accommodate their 50-ton bodies."
