low-key warlock

Among the women downstairs, that was too obvious.

No matter how kind and amiable Jiang Ruying was, it was difficult for a group of women to respect her, and she didn't even bother to look at her. Sometimes she took the initiative to start a conversation, some pretended not to hear, and some just said a few words in a perfunctory manner.

Not to mention Chen Yufang, she didn't like to get together with these women to talk about family affairs, so she simply maintained her usual arrogant posture and went for a stroll outside with her sister-in-law Zhou Yun and her four-year-old niece .Therefore, the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the old Chen's family didn't have a good impression of Chen Yufang and Zhou Yun.

Among these rural women, it is better to have a gentle and kind heart like Chen Xiulan, and someone like Hao Jinfeng who is outspoken, quick-spoken and hot-tempered but has no bad intentions, and they will not say harsh words.

However, there are very few people who, chatting about family affairs, can't help pointing at Sanghuai with a gun and a stick and saying a few harsh words, as if they can vent their anger, or get some satisfaction by beating others.And when such a person utters these words, they will naturally agree and nod in agreement...

"Hey, if you don't talk about this person, you can't take yourself too seriously."

"That's right, I heard that when the officials were in office, they were all uncles, and their relatives didn't recognize them. When they are no longer officials, no one will take them seriously, so they think of their relatives."

"30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, who can't live without you? To put it bluntly, I only ask you for help as a relative, or who cares who you are?"

"you do not say."

Jiang Ruying, who has a good quality, can naturally hear the dissatisfaction and malice in these words.It's just that as an elder, it's really not good for her to quarrel with the younger generation, not to mention that today is a rare day for the old Chen family to get together, so if there is any conflict, it would be shameless.Moreover, Jiang Ruying thought that she was really no match for this group of experienced country women when they quarreled.

On the contrary, to Chen Xiulan, these women are much more affectionate, they keep asking this and that, either praising the child, or asking how much the company earns a day now, can they help arrange work...

"Xiulan, I heard that you sell combine harvesters, you only do it for a few days a year, and you earn hundreds of thousands?"

"Sister Xiulan, how much does your logistics park earn tens of thousands a day?"

"Do you still employ people there? Xiaokai is idle at home, let him also go to your logistics park to work, just pay him a few hundred yuan a month."

"How do you do business there? How about we go to your place to rent a house and run dry goods?"

"What are you renting? My family still needs to pay rent?"

……

Facing the fiery enthusiasm of her relatives, Chen Xiulan, who is gentle and kind by nature, was really embarrassed, and could only humbly say: "Actually, I can't earn that much. The company owes more than 600 million in bank loans and the city government's 300 million. Anyway, if almost all of them are counted, the debt outside is tens of millions, alas."

"Hey, this means that you can make money, otherwise, can other banks lend you money?"

"That's right, the bank is not a fool, it's to see if my brother-in-law can make money, oh, sister Xiulan, you are really enjoying your life now, the coat you bought cost several hundred, right?"

"I also want to take out a loan, but when our guy goes to the bank, I'm afraid people won't bother to look him straight."

"Xiulan, that, about the child going to work..."

Chen Xiulan couldn't refuse, but what she said about the company didn't count, so she could only say tactfully: "Wait a little longer, the logistics park is full of employees during this time. However, the second phase of the logistics park this autumn should To be able to complete the work, we must recruit people, and when the time comes, let me greet you in advance."

"Oh, look at you, you didn't mention it when you recruited a job last year, so the child will have to wait for more than half a year." Chen Xiuzhi, a cousin of the family, muttered dissatisfied.

Just at this moment, Hao Jinfeng came over and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuzhi, what you said, Xiulan and his wife have such a big business, how busy they are all year round, why don't they even go to your house to ask if the child is safe?" Can’t you go to work in their logistics park? Why don’t you care about it at all? Well, this time, Xiulan told you in advance, so you can ask for snacks when the time comes, and don’t think that they are so busy. I miss you every day, is it you looking for a job for your child or someone else looking for a job for your child?"

"Oh, I'm just talking." Chen Xiuzhi said embarrassingly - she was really afraid of this outspoken and aggressive cousin and daughter-in-law.

The sister-in-law Guo Hong'e also said, "Well, I will also talk about it when the time comes, the boss of the family works for the construction team day after day, it is unstable."

Chen Xiulan smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.

The conversations of the women in the hall were all heard by Su Chunfeng who was chatting with three or four cousins ​​in the next room.He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and there was some inexplicable worry in his heart.Seeing through the window that the sun was shining outside, Su Chunfeng got up and walked outside, thinking that it shouldn't be too cold outside now, and it would be good to get some air—he really didn't want to hear these women's gossip.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of this room, he was spotted by the women sitting in the living room, and all of them talked enthusiastically with friendly smiles on their faces:

"Hey, I heard that Chunfeng is good at studying."

"Growing up will definitely be promising!"

"College entrance exam this year, right? I think I can get into Beijing University, or Tsinghua University..."

"Not to mention, Chunfeng is so handsome, he is as white as a big girl, hey, take a look, he is blushing, haha."

"Chunyu looks good too, she's only so big, look at that head, she's even taller than my brother-in-law."

……

Because of the large number of people, Chen Shunhe also specially rented a few large round tables and some stools.

For lunch, a total of five tables were set up at home, all of which were on the first floor—there was a table for men in the hall, two tables for women on the inside, and two tables for women on the outside. Seat for children.But when they actually sit down, women and children don't behave well. After all, some children are too young, and they always have to be watched by their mothers and even fed by their mothers.

Okay.

There are a total of 67 people, including men and women, old and young.

Here, some relatives are still absent.

As the old saying goes, people talk a lot, and rural women are good at goingssip and gossip. Now it's rare for relatives to get together, not to mention the warmth of eating.But when it comes to excitement, it is unavoidable that there will be people who have something to say and start to criticize Chen Xian's family for some mistakes, and even start to directly call Jiang Ruying and say: "Auntie, I didn't say it, you and my uncle I didn’t take our relatives seriously before.”

"That's right, after being an official for so many years, no one in the family can get your honor."

"Last time because of the child's military service..."

These women no longer think about the fact that Chen Xian's son, Chen Yufan, is also an official in the city.Because from their point of view, even Chen Xian can't be counted on, and this cousin from the city who is not very familiar with him and has never been back to his hometown, so they can't be counted on—anyway, Chen Xian's family can't help us. what busy.

It doesn't matter if this relative is broken.

Jiang Ruying had no choice but to smile wryly, and said some apologetic words again and again.

As a daughter-in-law, Zhou Yun couldn't say anything.But how could Chen Yufang's temper be bearable?Immediately gave a strong rebuttal, her natural arrogance and temperament influenced by her family environment are really a bit of a queen.

But it's clear that rural women don't like this...

Fortunately, Hao Jinfeng, a pungent and reasonable host, was in charge, and quickly stopped the arguments from both sides.Otherwise, there would be a lot of quarrels at the dinner table if the whole family was together.

Because the doors of all the rooms were open, any disputes among the women in the inner room could be heard by the gentlemen in the hall outside.

It's just that they pretended not to hear.

Su Chunfeng's new year is over, and more because of the exceptionally superior conditions at home, so he is fortunate to be called by his uncle and a group of elders, and sit on the table of a group of old men—— On this table, apart from the two cousins-in-law, the other two cousins, four cousins, and his own younger brother Su Chunyu all sat on the table in the back room.

He also heard the arguments of the women in the house.

Although the elders at the table pretended not to hear, Su Chunfeng could tell that the atmosphere was still somewhat awkward.Especially Chen Xian, although his face remained calm, his eyes showed obvious guilt and helplessness, and he drank a glass of mulled wine without saying a word.

Chen Yufan's expression was a little gloomy and terrifying, but after being glanced at by Chen Xian, he smiled wryly and shook his head in silence.

When Su Chunfeng's eyes fell on his father's slightly displeased face, he could see a trace of worry from his father's eyes.Turning around and looking into the back room, there seemed to be a little worry on the mother's face.

So Su Chunfeng suddenly understood, what was the unexplainable worry in his heart before.

At the same time, he also knew that his parents, like himself, began to have this kind of worry-your family is the richest, has the best conditions, and has connections.Well, no matter how far or near the family and relatives are, no matter what kind of relationship they have had in peacetime, if you ask for help, you have to help, and if you help one, you have to help the other. If you do it, then it’s your problem—"I look down on people", "I forgot to kiss you if I have the ability", "I don’t give my best", "I have two stinky money and I don’t know how high the sky is"...etc. Hats will all be buckled on your head.

this is the truth!

The women and children finished their meal quickly, and then they talked to each other, and naturally sat in a room.

Jiang Ruying, Zhou Yun, Chen Yufang, and Chen Yufan, who didn't drink at all because of driving and was in a bad mood, retreated from the drinking table, and led the children to the room on the east side.
