Chapter 60: "Marrying" a Daughter
"Xue'er and her uncle, why do you have time to visit the door tonight?"
Just when the scene was a little cold, Kang Yu'e happened to come out of the house with something at this time, and when she saw He Jianwu, she was stunned at first, and then asked politely.
He Jianwu glanced at Chen Feng and Shen Muxue, didn't say anything, just smiled and turned his head to greet Kang Yu'e.
"It's relatively empty tonight, and I heard from the neighbors that Chen Feng and Xue'er are back, so I came over to have a look. ”
He Jianwu said unceremoniously, and after speaking, he turned his head and greeted the man and woman who came with him and said, "Youping, Yun Jia, don't be stunned, come and say hello." ”
"Haha, Auntie is good. ”
He Youping heard his father call him, said hello to Kang Yu'e with a smile, and then turned to look at Chen Feng and Shen Muxue and said, "Xue'er, brother-in-law, long time no see." ”
Hearing the other party's words, Shen Muxue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at each other, and grabbed Chen Feng's hand tightly.
Chen Feng listened to everyone's conversation, and basically guessed who the other party was, the corners of his mouth rose and sneered, but he didn't say anything.
He Youping and He Jianwu were not embarrassed, and sat down at the coffee table under the greeting of Kang Yu'e.
"Feng'er, what are you doing in a daze?"
Kang Yu'e is a typical rural woman, and she has always adhered to the principle that whoever comes is a guest, so she urged Chen Feng: "Hurry up and make tea for my uncle." ”
Chen Feng gently patted Shen Muxue's arm and pulled her back to sit down.
"Sister, brother-in-law. ”
He Yunjia, who had been standing aside at this time, finally raised his head and shouted weakly.
Chen Feng followed the prestige, and saw that the little girl had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, two big braids lying quietly on her chest, and her eyebrows and bangs slightly blocked her forehead, she was also a proper beauty, but it was probably because of her family, her personality was somewhat similar to Shen Muxue, and she kept her head down.
"Be louder, mosquito-like calls, who can hear them?"
Seeing that Chen Feng and Shen Muxue didn't talk, He Jianwu suddenly burst into a loud shout.
This roar, not only He Yunjia, but even Shen Muxue was trembling with fright.
Chen Feng sighed that this was the tragedy of the original family, and for a while his eyes were dissatisfied, and the green tendons on his hands flared up.
"It's all right, uncle, we all heard it, and it wasn't quiet at all. ”
Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Guo Qiwei hurriedly made a round and scattered around with a cigarette: "Come, smoke." ”
Everyone took the cigarettes, Chen Feng looked at Shen Muxue and said, "Men are smoking, you can take Wen Jing, Yun Jia, and the children into the house." ”
"Hmm. ”
With Chen Feng's relief, Shen Muxue obediently agreed, and entered the house with a few people as if they were fleeing.
"Why is Uncle so free tonight?"
Chen Feng watched his wife and children enter the house, lit a cigarette, and asked in a strange way.
"Haha, Chen Feng, what you said. ”
He Jianwu knocked on the ash of his cigarette and said: "Mu Xue is my niece and my adopted daughter, she has not been back to Pengcheng for many years, this time when you come back, you don't come to see me, this bad old man, I can only come to the door in person." ”
At first glance, Chen Feng was instantly at a loss, and Kang Yu'e hurriedly said: "Xue'er and her uncle, in fact, Chen Feng only came back in the past two days, and he caught up with the engagement banquet of his second uncle and son, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I am planning to visit you in two days." ”
Chen Feng smoked by himself, turned his head and was too lazy to take care of it.
He Jianwu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's not in the way, it's all a family, what does it matter who visits whom." ”
Since the other party said so, Chen Feng was no longer polite, and simply greeted him with tea and smoked as he usually entertained guests.
Because the child went to bed early, Guo Qiwei's family stayed for a while, and when they saw that the time was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, they got up and said goodbye to Chen Feng.
When Guo Qiwei's family left, Chen Feng thought that there were no outsiders, He Jianwu should be able to tell the reason for coming to the door, how do you know that the other party still continues to chat, it is nothing more than caring about the child, asking Chen Feng's work, caring about Shen Muxue's body and other small things.
"Okay, it's not too early, Youping go call your sister, let's go back. ”
Seeing that the pointer stopped at 22 o'clock, He Jianwu suddenly got up and said goodbye.
Chen Feng choked suddenly, he really didn't understand the other party's intentions, everything was unreasonable, but the other party didn't say anything, he also pretended to be stupid, smiled and got up to see off the guests.
"Xue'er, you should give birth soon, pay attention to your body during this time, the weather is cold, don't catch a cold, uncle is gone. ”
Before parting, He Jianwu patted Shen Muxue's shoulder and explained: "Remember to go home to see your aunt when you have time, she misses you very much." ”
Shen Muxue looked at the other party blankly and nodded, Chen Feng noticed that Shen Muxue had a moment of mist in her peach blossom eyes, probably moved by the other party, thinking that his wife was so unrelenting, Chen Feng could only shake his head helplessly.
"How's it going? Did your cousin say anything to you?"
Seeing He Jianwu's family leave, Chen Feng hugged Shen Muxue and asked.
Shen Muxue paused and shook her head gently.
"Really?"
Chen Feng obviously didn't believe it, this old fox gave New Year's greetings to the chickens, it was impossible not to have a plan.
"No, my uncle is going to find a mother-in-law for Jia'er. ”
Shen Muxue replied with her fingers.
"Looking for your in-laws?"
Chen Feng was stunned and asked, "How old is Yun Jia, and how quickly can she find her in-laws?"
"Jia'er is 19 years old this year and will be 20 years old in two months. ”
Shen Muxue seemed to think of something, and replied in a somewhat low tone: "My cousin is almost 30 this year, and the family has no money, so I want to find a mother-in-law for Jia'er, and I can buy a house after receiving the dowry." ”
"Damn, I know that your uncle is not well-intentioned, and he is selling his daughter again. ”
Chen Feng couldn't help but take a bite, he suddenly thought that Shen Muxue had just turned 20 and "married" He Jianwu back then, no wonder Shen Muxue was full of melancholy.
"Cher, don't be upset. ”
Chen Feng hugged Shen Muxue tightly and said: "Actually, we should thank your uncle, if he hadn't been in a hurry to marry you back then, we wouldn't be together, right? Although I was a little confused a few years ago, you also waited until my prodigal son turned back, with a happy home, a well-behaved daughter, and an unborn son." ”
Listening to Chen Feng's words, Shen Muxue's charming peach blossom eyes were filled with tears again, and in the blink of an eye, a bean-sized tear fell out.
Chen Feng gently wiped his tears from the other party and held him in his arms, and Shen Muxue lay in Chen Feng's arms like a gentle kitten.
"By the way, how much did your uncle 'sell' this time?"
Chen Feng rubbed Shen Muxue's head and asked.
"Ten... Lakh. ”
Shen Muxue replied embarrassedly.
"Hehe, he's really good at business, and the price has increased in a few years. ”
Chen Feng took a bite, then took Shen Muxue's hand and said, "Let's go, it's cold outside, go home." ”
After taking two steps, he found that Shen Muxue was still stunned, he turned around and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
"Wind, you... Can you help Jia'er?"
Shen Muxue lowered her head and pleaded: "Jia'er grew up watching me, in the past few years... It's definitely not been a good time for the past few years, I just saw her arms and calves still... And bruises. ”
"Damn, your uncle and aunt are not human at all. ”
Chen Feng scolded angrily, and then asked, "Then how do you think I can help him?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Muxue's body trembled, looked at Chen Feng in surprise, biting her lip and unable to speak.
"Fool, tease you. ”
Chen Feng scratched her nose and said: "Actually, it's not impossible to help her, or you can introduce it to the speaker, she has always wanted to find a gentle girl, I think it's just right." ”
"Really... Really?"
Shen Muxue asked in surprise.
"I don't know if you want this or not, but it's okay to find a reason for Jia'er to come over and take care of you first, anyway, your uncle and aunt only recognize money. ”
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders and said: "When you give birth to a child, I can't take care of it when I'm busy outside, my parents are old, and I think it's good to let Jia'er take care of it." ”
At this moment, Shen Muxue's sad expression finally relaxed, and she whispered thank you with a pear vortex.
......
He Jianwu's family of three left Chen Feng's house, walked for more than ten minutes, turned around and looked around at the silent village road, and found that there was no one around, He Jianwu said to He Youping: "Quick, call that woman." ”
He Youping nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed Wan Yue's number.
"Hey, Miss, hello, I'm He Youping. ”
"Yes, we went to Chen Feng's house tonight, and his whole family went back to Pengcheng. ”
"No... We didn't show our feet, we just cared about Shen Muxue as relatives, and didn't say anything else......"
"Okay, okay, don't worry. ”
"Understood!"
He Youping said a little to the phone, then hung up the phone, looked up at He Jianwu and said: "Dad, the other party said that I should go to her to get something, and the matter was solved, so I will pay the balance of 100,000 yuan to my card." ”
"Okay, then you go and stay safe. ”
He Jianwu patted his son's shoulder and said, watching He Youping leave.
"Let's go, hurry up, what are you doing with your head down?"
After sending his son away, He Jianwu looked at He Yunjia, who had been following behind and did not speak, and scolded: "I am like a dumb person all day long, I will marry you sooner or later, save me from looking upset, hurry up." ”
After saying that, he walked in front of him with his hands behind his back.
He Yunjia bit her lip, looked at her father's distant back, struggled for a while, and finally followed.
