Chapter 52: Intentions
Mai Yinxia was dragged away from Chen Feng's house by her son, scolding and scolding along the way, and the anger in her heart could not be suppressed.
"Mom, you shouldn't have done that to your uncle's family today. ”
Chen Lingtao looked at his mother and was still angry, shook his head and said.
Instead of being comforted, but being complained by her son, Mai Yinxia's little temper instantly became even worse, she turned around and grabbed her son's arm and said angrily: "You have no conscience, seeing your mother being bullied by others, it doesn't matter if you don't help, and in turn say to me, what benefits did his family give you?"
After speaking, Mai Yinxia began to cry.
"Oh, Mom, how could I not help you, I have a point. ”
Chen Lingtao was pinched by his mother, not only was he not angry, but he also coaxed his mother in turn and said: "You didn't look at Chen Feng's appearance just now, don't you think that the other party is different from before?"
Mai Yinxia was obviously still angry, she shook her son's hand angrily and said angrily: "I didn't see it, I saw that he still looked useless, and his wife, I knew that Jiao Didi was fake and innocent, and the whole family was disgusting." ”
"Hey, Mom, you put out the fire first, and listen to me. ”
Chen Lingtao stroked his mother's back and helped her say smoothly: "I took a cursory look at the gifts on the table today, all of them are some precious supplements, as well as several good cigarettes, two bottles of good wine, plus the thickness of the kraft paper bag, it adds up to seventy or eighty thousand." ”
"If Chen Feng is really bad, can he get so much money?"
Chen Lingtao watched his mother's face begin to change, and he strengthened again.
"You... Are you saying that Chen Feng is really doing big business?"
Mai Yinxia asked suspiciously.
"It should be, my aunt is an honest person and doesn't lie, she said so, not ten out of ten but eighty percent. ”
Shen Lingtao took out a cigarette, took a puff in his mouth, and said: "If he really does big business, not only can we not offend, but we need to curry favor." ”
"What?
Mai Yinxia spat and said, "Why, he still owes tens of thousands of dollars to our family." ”
"No, since the other party has money, I'll go back and ask for the money back. ”
Mai Yinxia thought for a moment and wanted to go back again.
"Mom, you wait, don't be in a hurry about money, listen to your son. ”
Chen Lingtao persuaded.
"Why? Do you really think Chen Feng can be polite to us?"
Mai Yinxia didn't know what medicine her son was selling in the gourd, so she was puzzled.
"Hey, Mom, you should know why I didn't hesitate to break up with my first girlfriend to marry Feng Guangyan, not for better development in the future, otherwise who would fall in love with that dead fat woman. ”
Chen Lingtao also scolded: "His family is also a family of dogs and people, thinking that he has a lot of money, and he doesn't treat me as a person at all, but if Chen Feng can pull me, do you think I still need to be angry? ”
Hearing Chen Lingtao's words, Mai Yinxia hesitated.
"Mom, anyway, as long as I have money in the future, I will exhale and raise my eyebrows, my son will definitely make you beautiful, do you still need to look at other people's faces when the time comes? I will even ask Chen Feng's family to make amends for you. ”
Chen Lingtao raised the corners of his mouth and said obscenely: "For the sake of money, it is also necessary to endure humiliation." ”
This time, Mai Yinxia did not refute, struggled for a while, and finally nodded heavily.
......
Sending off uninvited guests, the small family began to regain its tranquility.
Kang Yu'e pulled her daughter-in-law Shen Muxue to chat in the living room, Chen Xianchun half-squatted next to the patio and smoked, with a faint smile on her wrinkled face, staring at her granddaughter who had just learned to "hopscotch" and was bouncing in front of the small grid.
In order to alleviate the guilt caused by the two old men being forcibly prevented from attending Chen Lingtao's engagement banquet, Chen Feng decided to cook by himself and kept doing it alone in the kitchen.
"I haven't tasted my son's craft for decades, and it's better than going to an engagement banquet with a hot face and a cold butt. ”
Chen Feng muttered in his heart.
Halfway through the cooking, Chen Feng found that he couldn't find the cooking wine, so he poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Mom, where is the cooking wine?" ”
"Oh, cooking wine, in the upper window of the kitchen. ”
Kang Yu'e replied, and then let go of Shen Muxue's hand and was about to help Chen Feng, but as soon as she stepped out of the living room, she was stunned, and even the bouncing Niuniu was so frightened that she shrank into Chen Xianchun's arms.
Kang Yu'e and Chen Xianchun glanced at each other, their faces were a little embarrassed, and they were about to find a reason to explain, but they didn't expect Chen Lingtao, who was standing at the door, to speak first: "Uncle, aunt, all of us are waiting for your family at home, why are we still cooking by ourselves?"
There was no imaginary reproach, but was so polite, Chen Xianchun felt uncomfortable, hung his head in embarrassment, and Kang Yu'e blushed and didn't dare to speak.
"Uncle, sister-in-law, I know that I had a bad attitude just now, and I feel sorry for Niuniu, but I didn't control the strength of my hand well, and it hurt the little girl, I apologize for this. ”
Mai Yinxia, who came with her, actually said in a low voice: "But today is a good day for Ling Tao, why don't you two have to show your face, otherwise the whole village will laugh." ”
"Yes, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I have heard about what happened in the afternoon, they are not sensible, you can't be confused, hurt our brother's feelings. ”
Chen Feng's second uncle, Chen Xianchang, also echoed.
This time, Chen Xianchun and Kang Yu'e were even more embarrassed, feeling that they were not doing authentically, and they lost the courtesy, so they lowered their heads and almost found a crack to get into.
"Second uncle, don't blame my parents. ”
Chen Feng saw that his "parents" were uncomfortable, and knew that they were all honest people, so he simply carried the whole stall to himself: "I didn't let them go, if you are dissatisfied, come directly to me." ”
"You..."
Mai Yinxia couldn't help but want to get angry, but was grabbed by Chen Lingtao beside her, and seeing that the other party gave her a look, Mai Yinxia exhaled vigorously and stood aside silently.
"Hey, big brother, what you said, our family is sincerely invited, not here to quarrel. ”
Chen Lingtao laughed and pulled Chen Feng's wrist: "Let's go, my brother didn't offend you, today is my good day, since you are home, why do you have to give me a face?"
"Yes, Xiaofeng, you haven't been back for many years, as soon as you come back, you'll choke with your second uncle and aunt, there's no need, the second uncle doesn't hurt you less, I personally came to invite you, and you don't give face?"
Chen Xianchang also followed the persuasion.
Although he couldn't understand why this family suddenly changed sex, from chatting with his parents, Chen Feng knew that this family was unprofitable and could not afford to be early, and if he could be so low-voiced, he must have a plan.
"Feng'er, why don't we go, don't make it difficult for your second uncle and aunt. ”
Kang Yu'e also pulled Chen Feng and said in a pleading tone.
Chen Feng didn't have much expression, just stared at Chen Lingtao's family intently, Chen Xianchang who was smiling, Mai Yinxia with a black face, and Chen Lingtao with deep eyes with a smile on his face, couldn't figure out what the other party was selling in the gourd for a while, so he simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "I listen to my parents." ”
Seeing his son loosen his mouth, Chen Xianchun and Kang Yu'e were obviously relieved, although they didn't know how their son had changed so much, but since he stepped into the house, the aura he exuded made the two old men feel both rusty and deterrent.
The family bustled with Chen Xianchang's family to their small building, which was located not far from Chen Feng's house, less than a kilometer apart, but the environment was completely different.
Chen Feng's house is an old bungalow, Chen Lingtao's house is a five-storey small western-style building, 200 square meters, at this time there are nearly ten tables in the hall on the first floor, although it seems a little crowded, but it is very lively.
"The boss is finally here, but let's wait......"
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Kang, come and sit here......"
"Uncle Chun, if you don't come, we won't dare to hold a banquet, haha......"
......
As soon as you enter the door, almost all of you are neighbors and relatives and friends from the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and there is no shortage of greetings, and everyone behaves differently, some welcome from the heart with tears, some fake superficial work, and even some sneer or indifference.
"Big brother, come quickly, you and your sister-in-law will also come to the main table. ”
Seeing that his parents finally sat down at the main table, Chen Lingtao did not forget to invite the "protagonist" who came over, and beckoned to Chen Feng with a smile.
Shen Muxue didn't have an opinion, she just held Chen Feng's wrist tightly with her daughter, and everything was subject to her husband's opinion.
Chen Feng glanced at the people at the main table, in addition to the black-faced god Mai Yinxia, there was also a chubby woman, wearing a big red dress, she knew that it was a bride without asking, and there was a pair of men and women sitting next to her, the same age as their parents, wearing gold and silver, the expression on her face was a little arrogant, and then there was a little fat man in a suit and leather shoes, her squinting little eyes were wandering around, and finally she actually fell directly on Shen Muxue.
Chen Feng felt that there were too many ghosts, snakes, and gods at this table, so he simply waved his hand, pointed to a table in the corner and said, "It's okay, there are too many people, and the little girl is not sensible, so it's more appropriate to sit here." ”
Chen Lingtao saw that the other party was more persistent, so he no longer insisted on it, turned around and waved his hand at the cooks, and then plate after plate of hot dishes were served together, and it could be seen that it was indeed to wait for Chen Feng's family to postpone the opening time.
Chen Feng sandwiched the dishes for his wife and daughter, and he could still take care of eating, and his mobile phone rang "buzzing".
