"But you can't take advantage of your seniority and use the respect we give you as a shoe pad to trample on the ground, right?"
"You can't take advantage of me and pretend nothing happened and act like an elder in front of us just because I didn't expose your shortcomings, right?"
What this person said was what was in his heart. Zhang Guifang wanted to act like an elder in front of them and scold them like they were her grandson, but she couldn't do that.
No matter how Zhang Guifang behaves or the shameful things she did in the past, she is not worthy of being respected as an elder.
They just don't say it, but they still call her "Auntie" when they meet. It's their courtesy.
But Zhang Guifang couldn't be ignorant of the situation. She couldn't really think of herself as an elder who could order them around just because they called her "Auntie".
How can Zhang Guifang be considered an elder to them?
Besides, no serious elder could say to them the harsh words that Zhang Guifang just said.
They are constantly being labeled as hooligans. If Zhang Guifang had given them such a label a decade ago, would they have had a good ending?!
Was it Zhang Guifang who didn't know how to behave first? Is she to blame them for speaking so directly and harshly?
The young man's words were so harsh that Zhang Guifang wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
She cursed them secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to confront these guys head-on.
Seeing that her second and third daughters-in-law were still fighting fiercely, she was about to be scolded, but the two heartless people were still fighting!
Zhang Guifang was already full of anger, and now she was almost suffocating. She swayed twice, and after steadying herself, she rushed forward with a spatula in hand!
…
The front yard of the slum.
Two figures walked side by side towards the backyard.
Lu Qing shyly held onto the tall man beside her and whispered softly, "Qingyi, don't look so stern when you see my family later."
"I know you have a steady personality, but my family doesn't know that. They are timid, and I'm afraid that if you show a stern face, they will be scared again."
"We've finally gotten to this point. This is your first time meeting my family, and I don't want any misunderstandings to arise between you."
Che Qingyi: "Don't worry, I came here with sincerity today, not to cause trouble. I will definitely be nice to your family."
He frowned slightly: "I'm just worried that your family won't be satisfied with me. After all, at my age..."
Lu Qing put her hand over his mouth and said, "I don't allow you to say that about yourself. What's wrong with your age? You're called calm!"
"Don't worry, Brother Che. My family members are very nice and have good personalities and tempers. They won't make things difficult for you. They will definitely be very pleased to see you."
As they were talking, the two walked to the backyard.
Looking around, what caught my eye was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family, rolling on the ground and cursing at the sky!
As mud spots flew, Che Qingyi took a half step back seriously.
"This is?"
Lu Qing originally had a face full of love, but when he saw who was rolling on the ground, the smile froze on his face.
She stammered, "No, I don't know. I think I took the wrong turn. I was so busy talking to you just now that I might have turned into the wrong compound."
She is good at thinking quickly, but luck is not always on her side.
Like now.
Just as she had found an excuse to quietly lead the group out, she heard someone shouting at her in the chaos—
"Xiaoqing, now that you're back, don't just stand there and watch! Look at the way your mother and sister-in-law are beating you. It has a very bad influence."
"Yeah, last year, because of all the trouble your family had, our compound wasn't even recognized as an advanced collective. Now, right at the start of this year, your family is causing trouble again. A good start, you say? Do you still have any manners left?!"
The complaining voices, coupled with the cursing of Zhang Guifang, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, successfully stopped Lu Qing, who wanted to sneak away.
Lu Qing's face flushed red as the lie he just told was exposed so quickly.
Che Qingyi looked at the three shrews on the ground with understanding, then turned his head to look at Lu Qing who didn't dare to look up.
His eyes flashed with interest and admiration: "...So...we didn't go wrong?"
"Is this your family member with a good character, good temper, and most importantly, a 'timid' personality?"
After asking several questions in a row, Lu Qing wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
It didn't matter that she didn't speak. In the middle of the crowd, as if responding to Che Qingyi's words, everyone was caught off guard and heard Zhang Guifang yelling at the top of her lungs -
"Daughter, are you back? Come and help me! I'm going to chop the heads off these two damn troublemakers today!"
With a loud bang, Lu Qing felt as if a thunder exploded in his head.
who is she?
Where is she?
What should she do to turn back time and go back to the time before she brought Che Qingyi to the slum?
Che Qingyi couldn't help but clap his hands twice: "Breaking the brain with bare hands, you are really a coward."
"Brother Che, please listen to my explanation. They are not usually like this..."
…
"Mom! It's all your fault!"
In the kitchen, Lu Qing was so angry that she burst into tears.
"I told you I'd be bringing a car guy to your house soon, why can't you be more careful?"
"Do you have to fight like a shrew? How old are you and still doing this?"
Zhang Guifang also felt regretful. Although she looked down on Che Qingyi because of his age, it was she who chose Che Qingyi.
Now that Che Qingyi saw the group fight in her family, it seemed that Che Qingyi was picking on her family.
Zhang Guifang also felt unhappy.
"Are you blaming me? It's your two sisters-in-law who chose the right time to fight. If I hadn't wanted to stop them, I wouldn't have gotten involved."
Lu Qing was speechless. She had seen it clearly before. Her mother was not stopping people from fighting. Her mother was even more ruthless than her two sisters-in-law.
Lu Qing: "I don't care, tell me what to do now!"
"Before I came back, I kept telling Brother Che that my family members were kind and easy to get along with, but now you're just destroying me like this!"
She wiped her tears and said, "Do you know how hard it was for me to get him to agree to come back with me?"
"Now, if I hadn't been begging him to stay, you would have scared him away!"
Zhang Guifang was annoyed by her: "You should be more ambitious, right? That's what I taught you before. You've lost all your backbone after getting a guy?"
"Look at your brother Che. The wrinkles on his face are almost as many as your father's. Yet you treat him like a treasure and even beg him to come to our house and stay."
Zhang Guifang curled her lips, her face full of disgust: "I think you have really been drugged and your heart is blinded by lard."
Yes, what she did today brought shame to her daughter.
But her daughter brought Che Qingyi back in front of so many neighbors, which embarrassed her!
Zhang Guifang: "Don't cry, are you annoying? Look at yourself, young and beautiful. If Che Qingyi had looked in the mirror more often, he wouldn't have broken up with you over such a small matter today!"
