Blackening starts from the golden years

The next day at noon, in a large private room at Huarui Hotel.

"Hello, this way please."

Led by the young waitress, Zhu Jincao and his family walked into the box. Looking at the large and luxurious box in front of them, Mother Zhu smiled happily and said:

“It’s so luxurious.”

"Okay."

Looking at the new clothes his mother was wearing, Zhu Jincao smiled and said:
"Mom, I'm telling you, you have to always dress like this from now on. Look how beautiful you look like this."

Hearing what Zhu Jincao said, Mother Zhu laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and said:
"Mom, this dress is for you. They can look down on me and your dad, but they can never look down on you. This is a matter of face."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Come on Coco, we're here."

"Grandma, I want to drink this."

"You can't drink it. You drink yours."

"Ok."

"Strong grass."

Father Zhu looked at Zhu Jincao and criticized:
"Why did you choose such a place? It's so ostentatious and gaudy. How much does it cost?"

"Dad, the boss here is Ling Xiao's friend, and he gave us a 20% discount."

Zhu Jincao smiled and as he spoke he placed the drinks he brought on the dining table.

"% off?"

Father Zhu muttered to himself, then he looked at Zhu Jincao and ordered:
"You'll pay the bill later. I'm the man, and you're the head of the family, so you have to show that attitude."

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Zhu Jincao smiled. At this time, Zhu's mother asked:
"Son, even with a 20% discount, it still costs a lot, right?"

"You do not understand."

Before Zhu Jincao could speak, Zhu's father said:
"Some money should be spent if it's necessary, and if you want to save face, you should give it enough."

"Okay, do it well, do it well."

……

On the other side, Gu Moli was walking towards the box with her parents. Mother Gu looked at Gu Moli and smiled:
"Jasmine, you called your mother and told her you wanted to celebrate Mother's Day with me. You don't know how happy I was."

As she spoke, she looked at Father Gu beside her and said:
"Jincao is a nice kid, and he even invited us to dinner. I was happy about that, but when I thought about meeting the two gods in his family, I felt a little upset."

"Oh, what can we do?"

Father Gu smiled. At this time, Gu Moli said,
"Mom, I've already said that today we're just going to have a peaceful meal with them. No quarrels or arguments. I beg you, okay?"

"I know. I just need to be a little polite and hypocritical. I know how to do that."

Mother Gu said with a smile. When she finished, Father Gu said with a smile:
"Jasmine, don't worry. Your mother and I have prepared ourselves mentally before you come. Haha."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, you really consider the overall situation."

"Let me tell you, your father gave me an hour's lesson before I came here."

"An hour?"

"Why not?"

"Fifty minutes."

"Okay, we're almost there."

……

"Coco, where are you?"

As soon as she reached the door of the private room, Mother Gu shouted happily. Upon hearing her voice, Zhu Keke jumped down from her seat, ran happily to the door of the private room, threw herself into her arms and shouted happily:

"grandmother."

"Hey."

"Coco is so beautiful."

"Hello grandpa."

"Okay, kiss grandpa."

"Kiss one, kiss one."

"Hello, my in-laws, and my mother-in-law."

"well."

"Coco, grandma, take a look."

Mother Gu touched Zhu Keke's belly and said with a smile:
"Keke, your belly is so round from eating so much. It's not good for girls to be fat."

At this time, Mother Zhu pulled Zhu Keke over and said with a smile:

"We are growing up, so we need to eat more and eat enough. Otherwise, what if we become dwarfs when we grow up?"

At this time, Mother Gu pulled Zhu Keke back and said with a smile:

"Oh, girls need to take good care of their body shape from a young age, otherwise they will get too fat and won't be able to lose weight when they grow up."

Seeing that the two mothers were about to quarrel with each other when they met, Zhu Jincao quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Dad, Mom, everything is ready, let's sit down and talk."

"well."

"please."

"Sit, sit."

After some polite conversation, everyone sat down. Father Gu looked at Zhu Jincao and said with a smile:
"Jincao, I want to criticize you. Your father rarely comes to Shanghai, why didn't you tell me in advance? I can also do my best to be a good host."

After saying that, he looked at Mr. Zhu next to him and said with a smile:

"My dear relatives, let me make it clear today. This meal is for you to welcome us, and I have to pay for it."

"No, no, no, I have to pay for this bill and fulfill my duty as the host. After all, I bought a house for my children in Shanghai."

As he spoke, Father Zhu looked at Mother Zhu beside him and asked:

"How old is it?"

"Fifty-seven point two."

Mother Zhu replied with a smile.

"Yes, fifty-seven point two, two bedrooms and one living room."

Father Zhu smiled and said, he looked at Father Gu and Mother Gu beside him and asked with a smile:

"By the way, are you still living in that empty house of your relatives?"

Hearing what Mr. Zhu said, Mr. Gu smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that his attitude was much different from his initial enthusiasm. Although his initial enthusiasm was also fake, he now smiled with his hands folded, and he was too lazy to even pretend to be perfunctory. It was naturally because he couldn't stand Mr. Zhu's behavior.

Before retirement, he was the director of the department and Zhu's father was the section chief. In front of him, the director of the department, Zhu's father's pretentiousness made him very disdainful. Only people with low self-esteem will repeatedly talk about their proudest achievements.

This is the case with Mr. Zhu. He cannot compare with Mr. Gu in anything, but he bought a house in Shanghai while Mr. Gu did not. He and Mrs. Gu live in an empty house of a relative.

Faced with Mr. Zhu's deliberate showing off and his desire to outdo him, Mr. Gu was too lazy to say anything. However, Mrs. Gu could not stand it any more. What she despised most about the Zhu family was their insistence on prestige. The family clearly did not have much money, and they lived in a tiny house the size of a palm, which they bought with a loan, yet they were still pretending. What were they pretending for?

Looking at Father Zhu, Mother Gu smiled and said:
"Yes, we are staying in a relative's western-style house. It has two bedrooms and a living room, and is 130 square meters. It doesn't matter how comfortable it is, but it is better than that small house."

"Oh, it's a temporary stay."

Father Zhu chuckled.

Seeing that the two families were about to quarrel again, Gu Moli quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking and start eating."

After saying that, she looked at the waitress in the box and said with a smile:

"Waiter, serve the food."

"Ok."

……

When the banquet started, Zhu Jincao stood up with a glass of wine and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Jasmine, for being so thoughtful today and choosing Mother's Day to have our two families gather here. Mainly, I want to thank the two mothers. Of course, the two fathers have also made great contributions. It is because of your hard work that our little family is happy and healthy. So I'll pay for this meal."

"well."

At this time, Gu Moli also stood up, holding two gift boxes in her hands and said with a smile:

"I also prepared Mother's Day gifts for both mothers. Mom, this is yours. I picked it specially. It's exactly the same. I hope you like it."

As she spoke, she gave the two gift boxes to her mother and Zhu Jincao's mother respectively.

Mother Gu opened the gift box, took out a bag from it and said with a smile:

"Oh, this bag, I've been eyeing it for a long time, I like it, I like it."

Looking at the smiling Mother Gu and Gu Moli, Mother Zhu did not have any smile on her face. Seeing her like this, Gu Moli looked at Zhu Keke next to her and said:

"Keke, please ask grandma to open the gift quickly. Tell her, 'Grandma, you have worked hard and taken care of me for so long. Thank you.'"

Hearing this, Zhu Keke immediately looked at Mother Zhu and said with a smile:
"Grandma, please open it quickly."

"Hey."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mother Zhu forced a smile and said:

"I don't want this bag anymore because it's too expensive and I don't have many occasions to use it."

"Mom, Jasmine picked this Mother's Day gift especially for you."

Zhu Jincao walked to Mother Zhu's side, helped her open the gift box, took out the bag and handed it to her, saying with a smile:
"Look, how beautiful it is." After looking at her own bag and then at the one in Mother Gu's hand, Mother Zhu smiled and said:

"Well, can I exchange it with the one in my mother-in-law's hand?"

"They're the same, why change them?"

Mother Gu asked. Looking at her, Mother Zhu retorted:

“Why can’t we exchange the same ones?”

At this time, Gu Moli smiled and explained:
"Grandma Coco, let me explain. I bought this bag for my mother a long time ago. At that time, I asked the clerk to embroider her English name on the bag. Your bag was just bought and we haven't had time to exchange it yet. So the two bags are different and cannot be exchanged."

Hearing this, Mother Zhu nodded, sighed and smiled:
"I've already thought of the reasons."

As she spoke, in front of everyone, Mother Zhu threw the bag that Gu Moli had given her directly into the fish soup in front of her.

"mom."

Zhu Jincao couldn't help but yell. He had no idea what his mother was going to do. Gu Moli also opened her eyes slightly and yelled:

"Grandma Coco, what are you doing? This bag costs 15,000 yuan, what are you doing?"

"What?! Fifteen thousand for a broken bag?!"

Hearing the price of the bag, Father Zhu immediately looked at Gu Moli and loudly rebuked:
"You are a loser!"

Looking at Gu Moli, Mother Zhu said:

"The bag your mother is holding is worth 15,000 yuan, and this one is worth 1500 yuan, right?"

Hearing what Mother Zhu said, Gu Moli said anxiously:

"You need to provide evidence when you speak. This bag costs 15,000 yuan."

"You want evidence, right?"

Looking at Gu Moli, Mother Zhu said:

"Okay, then listen carefully. Things in this world are just so coincidental. It just so happened that you were taking a shower that day, and your phone was in Coco's hand. She was playing games, and I just so happened to see that WeChat message. You bought a fake bag from someone else, and the price was one-tenth of the real thing. Jasmine, for six years, I washed your clothes, cooked for you, and took care of your children. I worked hard without complaint. It doesn't matter if you look down on me as a mother-in-law. You don't have to buy me a gift. Now you buy me a fake one. What do you mean? Are you insulting me?"

Hearing his mother say this, Zhu Jincao's face turned a little ugly. He walked directly to Gu Moli, looked at her and asked:
"What's going on? Is the bag fake?"

"It's real. This bag is absolutely real. I bought it in a specialty store. The receipt is at home."

Gu Moli said anxiously. Although Shen Liuliu gave her the bad idea of ​​buying a fake bag, and she did consult the WeChat merchant who sold the fake bags, she still bought the real bag in the end. Unexpectedly, Mother Zhu misunderstood her. Of course, she would only insist that the bag was real now. As for the fact that she originally wanted to buy a fake bag to fool Mother Zhu, she would never tell anyone about it.

Mother Zhu firmly believed that the bag that Gu Moli gave her was a fake bag. Even if Gu Moli tried her best to say that it was a real bag, she would not believe it. Looking at Gu Moli, Mother Zhu said angrily:
"You still say it's real? I originally thought that I could just carry a fake one, which is also good, right? No matter what, it's your heart, and I have to thank you, but today is different. Today you gave your mother a real one and gave me a fake one. Jasmine, I, I think I have done nothing wrong to you, why do you treat me like this?"

Looking at Mother Zhu who was still crying out of grievance, Mother Gu said angrily:

"No, if you say it's fake, then it's fake, right? My daughter said it was real, why don't you believe her as a mother-in-law? Also, you said your bag was fake because you saw my daughter's WeChat and thought she bought a fake bag for you, so why do you think my bag is real? You are just unbalanced, don't put all the blame on my daughter."

"You are her biological mother, can she buy a fake bag for you?"

Mother Zhu blurted out.

"Oh, you also know that I'm her biological mother and she's my biological daughter?"

Looking at Mother Zhu, Mother Gu said to her directly:
"My daughter at least gave you a Mother's Day gift, but you threw her gift into the fish soup in front of me and her father, and made her lose face. Is this how you act as an elder? I'm telling you, Zhang Shanya, I believe in my daughter. She would never do such a thing. Don't judge her by her appearance."

"How do you know that she wouldn't? How do you know that she wouldn't? How come I could see her through the crack in the door?"

Mother Zhu cried angrily. Looking at her, Mother Gu said directly:

"Because she is my daughter, I believe her. You are her mother-in-law, why don't you want to believe her? The child has repeatedly said that it is really fertilized, why don't you want to believe her? In the final analysis, she is not your child, you just don't believe her. If it was Zhu Jincao, would you not trust him so much?"

Looking at Mother Gu, Mother Zhu cried angrily:

"Old Wu, you dress up in fancy clothes every day, you can go dancing, do yoga, drink coffee, and I do all the dirty work. I buy groceries and cook, I take care of the children, I clean the house, and in the end, what do I do? I let you two look down on me like this?"

"Oh, come on, you're acting like you're wronged. Wasn't that your own choice?"

Looking at Mother Zhu, Mother Gu blurted out:
"I am willing to take Coco with me, I am willing to let my daughter and son-in-law live in my home, and I am willing to take care of them, but are you willing to let go? Also, I can go dancing, do yoga, and drink coffee because my husband loves me and he doesn't want me to do dirty work. What do you mean by telling me this now? If you are not living well, that is your husband and your son's problem, not our Jasmine's problem. Please don't bite people, okay?"

"Old Wu, you..."

Mother Zhu was so angry that she was shaking, because what Mother Gu said hit her lungs directly. After hearing what Mother Gu said, Father Zhu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. As for Zhu Jincao, he was even more ashamed. The life his mother led was completely different from that of Gu Moli's mother. He and his father only let his mother take care of their lives, but never considered what kind of life she wanted to live.

Mother Zhu was probably very angry, she blurted out:
"You said I don't trust Jasmine, so do you trust my son? You forced my son to sign that notarization to give up the house, but you don't trust my son either, do you? You think you are noble, don't you? I think you are particularly despicable!"

"Zhang Shanya, we're even now. Why are you feeling wronged?"

"Etc., etc!"

Father Zhu frowned and looked at Mother Zhu and asked:
"What notarial certificate?"

When Zhu's mother heard Zhu's father's question, she was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt that something was going to happen.

"Dad, this matter is over, don't ask anymore."

Zhu Jincao spoke up.

"Don't try to smooth things over. What on earth is a notarized document?!"

Father Zhu roared angrily. Zhu Jincao and Mother Zhu dared not speak. At this time, Father Gu spoke:

"Well, since things have come to this, let's just lay it out. Comrade Zhu Dali, you guys refused to agree to buy a house with us at the beginning. You and I both know the reason. Now we are doing this to follow our example."

"Don't be like this or that!"

Father Zhu angrily interrupted Father Gu's words. He looked at Zhu Jincao and shouted:
"I ask you, did you sign it?!"

Zhu Jincao lowered his head and said nothing. Father Zhu stood up from his seat, walked up to him angrily, pushed him hard and asked:
"Are you dumb? Did you sign it?!"

"Did you sign it?!"

Looking at the furious Dad Zhu, Mom Zhu quickly pulled Coco to hide aside. She regretted it so much now. Because of a momentary impulse, her family was going to be in chaos again.

"Did you sign it? Tell me!"

"Signed."

Zhu Jincao replied dejectedly.

"Signed?"

Hearing Zhu Jincao's answer, Zhu's father was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Zhu Jincao in the face, grabbed the Moutai on the table and smashed it to the ground.

"Ouch."

Mother Gu cried out in pain as the broken porcelain pieces scratched her calves, leaving blood all over them.

"Yulan, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, are you okay?"

"Yulan, let's go."

Father Gu helped Mother Gu get up and leave the box. He pointed at Father Zhu and said angrily:
"Zhu Dali, you're going too far!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Gu Moli who was still standing there, and said angrily:

"Jasmine, why are you still standing here? Go!"

After taking a look at Zhu Jincao, Zhu's father, Zhu's mother and her daughter Zhu Keke, Gu Moli finally left the box and left the hotel with her parents.

……

At night, cross the border bar.

Seeing a girl's tube top dress with the zipper on the back open, Wang Lingxiao walked by her and whispered to her:

"Miss, your back zipper is unzipped."

"what?"

The girl exclaimed, and just as Wang Lingxiao was about to leave, the girl stood up from the chair, showing her beautiful white back and smiling at him:
"Handsome guy, can you help me pull it?"

"I?"

"Ah."

Wang Lingxiao looked around and shouted to the nearest girl:
"Miss, can you help this lady zip up her pants?"

"me?"

Shen Liuliu pointed at herself and asked.

"Yes, it's you. Could you please help this lady zip up her zipper?"

"it is good."

After taking a look at Shen Liuliu who stood up and walked over, the girl quickly looked at Wang Lingxiao and said directly:
"Handsome guy, can I add you on WeChat?"

"Sorry, I forgot to bring my phone."

Wang Lingxiao smiled and said, then he turned and left. At this time, Shen Liuliu walked behind the girl and helped her zip up.

"Thank you."

"fine."

After finishing this little task, Shen Liuliu returned to her seat and continued chatting with Yuan Xudong on WeChat:
[I just saw a gentleman, he is very gentlemanly, do you want to learn to be gentlemanly? ]

Yuan Xudong quickly replied:

[Gentleman? Sorry, my life belief is to be a gangster, a gangster who is rich, handsome and well-educated.]

Seeing Yuan Xudong's reply, Shen Liuliu smiled and typed back:

[Yuan Xudong, why are you so shameless? ]

[You dare to scold me? Just wait, I will settle the score with you when I get here. ]

[Hmph, come on. ]
