Chapter 495 Tu Jin's Trouble 9
Tu Fa interrupted him and said, "Mu Weiliang, stop talking nonsense. Just tell me what you want to say. You brought your whole family here today, so I guess you are not here to chat."
The smile on Mu Weiliang's face almost disappeared. Mu Weiliang's wife smiled and said, "Brother Fa, look at what you said. We are just here to pay New Year's greetings. What else can we do?"
Tu Jin's mother snorted coldly and said, "New Year's greetings are like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy New Year. There must be something fishy going on."
Mu Weiliang's wife couldn't hold back her face any longer, but she still managed to say, "Sister-in-law, you're joking. Since Uncle Tu passed away, our two families have had less contact for the sake of livelihood, but the affection we had in the past is still there."
Tu Jin's mother sneered, "Love, haha, my family can't afford your love."
Mu Weiliang's second son couldn't help but stepped forward and said angrily: "Auntie, what you said is unreasonable. We came here with good intentions to pay New Year's greetings. It would be fine if you didn't invite me in to sit down, but you still spoke so harshly."
"Shut up, how dare you talk to your aunt like that? Stand at the back," Mu Weiliang pretended to scold his son to step back, and then put on a fake smile and said, "Sister-in-law probably has some misunderstandings. We don't mind what she said. It's fine as long as the misunderstanding is explained."
Tu Facai didn't give him a chance to smooth things over. He said expressionlessly, "There is no misunderstanding, and there is no affection. I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you here. If you don't want to talk anymore, then go back. We don't have time to accompany you."
"Brother Jin, have you forgotten the things we did together when we were little? Just persuade uncle. We really are here to wish you a happy new year." Mumianhua said to Tu Jin in a coquettish voice.
Tu Jin glanced at Kapok with disdain, thinking that this woman had the nerve to come out today after what happened yesterday. Her face was thicker than a tortoise shell.
He said in a cold voice: "Our two families are not familiar with each other, so forget about the New Year's greetings. Goodbye, I won't see you off."
At this time, everyone in the village got up. Since they didn't go to work during the New Year, some people were preparing to visit each other. Then they found a group of people standing in front of Tu Fa's house, so they came over in groups of three or four to take a look.
Seeing that someone finally came, Mu Weiliang smiled even more. He also pretended not to notice Tu Fa's increasingly dark face and said with a smile, "Brother Fa, your father and my father are brothers who are not real brothers but are as good as real brothers. We should also be good brothers like these two old men, and we must not disappoint them."
He spoke to Tu Fa face to face, but his voice was so loud that people around who were watching could hear it.
"Who is this? I've never seen him before. He's not from our village."
"Could it be Tufadi's friend?"
"Haven't you heard that he's the son of Tu Fa's father's friend? He wants to make friends with Tu Fa because he sees that his family is going to be rich."
The onlookers talked in low voices.
Tu Fa wanted to pick up a carrying pole and hit someone. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as this. Of course, there would be even more shameless people coming.
Mu Weiliang still had an exaggerated smile on his face and said, "Brother Fa, we are in-laws, and our relationship is not ordinary. When my wife was pregnant with my daughter, Uncle Tu arranged the marriage himself. No matter whether my wife gives birth to a boy or a girl, our two families will become in-laws."
Mumian lowered her head pretending to be shy, but her eyes fell on Tu Jin's face and body from time to time. Tu Jin glared at her with disgust and moved his body behind his father to avoid Mumian's sight.
Mu Weiliang's wife followed up on what Mu Weiliang said and said, "Both children are over 20 years old. We are here to discuss their marriage."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, Tu Jin is so lucky. He got a wife right after the Chinese New Year."
"Old Tu, you are so mean. You have such a good daughter-in-law, but you still complain to us that your son has grown up and has no partner."
Some women also said, "Oh, the in-laws are coming, why don't you welcome them in quickly? What are you doing blocking the door?"
"I'm so happy that I'm stupid, hahahaha!"
"I would be happy if it were me. I don't even have to leave the house to have my wife delivered to my door."
"Who knows if it's good? You should marry a wife who can work. From the looks of it, she's not someone who can work in the fields."
"They have jobs, so why should their wives work like us, facing the earth and working hard?"
…
The villagers watching kept quacking like ducks, some saying good things while others were jealous and sarcastic.
Tu Jin's mother was so angry that she was about to step forward to argue, but Tu Jin held her back.
Tu Fa waited until Mu Weiliang and his wife had spoken out their purpose before he said loudly, "Mu Weiliang, I think you are crazy about marrying off your daughter. My family has nothing to do with your family, and my father and your father have had no relationship for a long time. When my father realized your father's true face, he had already severed ties with your father, and it was even more impossible for him to arrange a marriage for his grandson. Do you really think we are fools and can do whatever you want?"
"Wow, Tu Fa, are you stupid? You don't even want the daughter-in-law who came to your doorstep."
"Yes, no matter whether your father has made an appointment or not, you can re-order now. Only a fool would not want a daughter-in-law who is delivered to your doorstep."
"It should be that girl. She's pretty."
…
The onlookers persuaded Tu Fa to accept the marriage.
Mu Weiliang couldn't help but reveal a smile of success on his face.
Mu Weiliang's wife immediately said loudly, "God and heaven are our consciences, this is really a marriage arranged by the two old people. My daughter is a high school student, and I don't know how many young men have asked matchmakers to propose marriage to her. We didn't agree, so we waited for your family to propose marriage. Even if you don't agree to this marriage, you should have told us earlier and not kept my daughter hanging. Now my daughter has been waiting for you until she is 20 years old, and you just open your mouth and deny it. Is there any justice in the world?"
After Mu Weiliang's wife finished speaking, the brainless women around her thought that Tu Jin's parents were wrong and they all spoke up for Mu Weiliang's family.
"That's true. There's no point in dragging it out even if you disagree. If you drag the girl down and make her an old maid, how can she get married?"
"This girl is still a high school student. She is well-educated and sensible. She is worthy of Tu Jin."
"In my opinion, this girl has a big butt, so she must be good at giving birth. Tu Jin doesn't want her. My boy doesn't have a girlfriend yet. My family is not bad either, so at least I won't let the girl go hungry. Hey, girl, the one wearing a khaki cotton coat is my boy. He's really strong. Do you think he can be your girlfriend?"
"What are you doing? People haven't even sorted out the situation here yet."
…
The women were buzzing like bees. Tu Fa was afraid that the people from the factory would come to pick them up. The problem here had not been resolved yet, so he didn't want to show any mercy to the other party.
"Mu Weiliang, I was going to give you face, but since you don't want it, I won't be polite. Don't think that no one knows about what happened in your family yesterday."
Before Tu finished speaking, Mu Weiliang's face turned pale, and in the cold wind, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
