At the dinner table, Jiang Shan's sister Jiang Yan and her brother-in-law Zhao Hontian smiled happily and took turns to toast Jiang Shan and serve her vegetables, only to make Jiang Shan's face full of confusion and confusion. In the past year with my sister and brother-in-law, the two have never been so enthusiastic and smiling at her. Although Jiang Shan doesn't understand the truth of "being courteous for nothing", she also understands that today's sister and brother-in-law are somewhat wrong, I am afraid that something is going on at home, and it should be a good thing for my sister and brother-in-law, otherwise the two of them would not be so happy, and they also set up a large table of good wine and good food to fight the tooth sacrifice that they are usually reluctant to play.

Jiang Shan asked her sister and brother-in-law several times what the good thing was, but the two kept smiling and didn't answer, just let her drink and eat food, saying that she usually not only had to go to work during the day, but also had to do a lot of housework when she came back from work, which was also very hard and tiring, so she would have a good rest today.

The words of my sister and brother-in-law touched Jiang Shan, and tears almost came out. She thought that her hard work and hard work, it turned out that her sister and brother-in-law were both in their eyes and in their hearts, and they were not completely ignored as she imagined.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, three people, at least half an hour of eating and drinking, at this time, Jiang Shan saw her brother-in-law Zhao Hontian glanced at her sister Jiang Yan, so her sister put down the chopsticks, looked at her, and asked with a smile:

"Shanshan, what do you think, what is Minister Huang of your department?"

"Huang ...... Minister Huang: Sister, you mean...... Huang Yong?" Jiang Shan was stunned, she didn't know why her sister suddenly mentioned Huang Yong, and she also used Minister Huang's honorific title, you know, some time ago, the two quarreled, and when they mentioned Huang Yong, they all called him by his name, or scolded Huang Yong's turtle son, who was indiscriminate, and he couldn't die well!

"Isn't Huang Yong, who else? Could it be that there is a second person surnamed Huang in the quality inspection department of your second factory?" her sister glared at her, and then without waiting for Jiang Shan to speak, she said to herself, "I think you Minister Huang is still a very good person, only in his early thirties, and he has achieved the length of one department, and he has more than 30 people under his hands, and it can be said that he has a bright future! Although Minister Huang's appearance is average, but a man, as long as he can find money, why should he be so handsome? Just like your brother-in-law, he is a handsome guy at the beginning, but what kind of life do you see your sister living with him now? After so many years, even children dare not ask for ......."

Seeing that his wife looked disgusted with himself, Zhao Hontian's face changed, and he wanted to get angry, but when he thought about the ultimate purpose of what his wife said, he endured it, drank a glass of wine, and a generous smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Shan listened to Jiang Yan babbling about Huang Yong's good words, although she was a little sluggish in this regard, she gradually understood what her sister meant:

This is to match her and Huang Yong!

Jiang Shan's complexion immediately changed greatly, and she said loudly to her sister:

"Sister, don't say it, I know what you mean. I'm not going to be friends with Huang Yong. I don't like him at all! Whether he has the ability or the future has nothing to do with me!"

Hearing that her sister said it so directly, it seemed that there was no room for turning around, Jiang Yan immediately became anxious, and said to her sister with some displeasure:

"Shanshan, why are you so ignorant? You have to get along with each other before you can know if you will become friends? You don't even give people the opportunity to be friends now, how do you know that you will not like Minister Huang? Obedient, Shanshan, listen to my sister and brother-in-law, give Minister Huang a chance, try to get along with Minister Huang, perhaps, this will change your opinion of him?"

Jiang Shan was in a hurry, and said directly: "I can't change it! Sister, I can never change it! I really hate this person, I hate it from the bottom of my heart! Isn't he bad enough to hurt me and my brother-in-law? Why do you want to help him say good things, and let me be friends with him, sister?" Jiang Shan questioned her sister, and the brother-in-law next to her who was silent and only drank, and the warm smile on her face that just made her feel that the warm smile had completely disappeared.

Jiang Yan opened her mouth, she didn't expect her sister to ask her like this, she glanced at her husband, and saw that her husband nodded slightly to her, so she sighed and said, "Shanshan, since you want to know the reason, then I'll tell you the reason."

"Yesterday, Minister Huang talked to your brother-in-law and said that if you agree to be his girlfriend, he will not only let you and your brother-in-law resume their original positions and continue to do light work, but also recommend your brother-in-law to be the leader of the inspection team. The old leader of the inspection team will retire at the end of this year, and who can take over the position of the old team leader is a matter of Minister Huang's words. Do you think, if you become Minister Huang's girlfriend, Minister Huang and your brother-in-law are brothers-in-law, and he won't be able to take care of his brother-in-law at work in the future?

"Minister Huang also said that he likes you very much, and it's not a fake like, it's the kind that can directly marry you into the door right now and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married!

"Of course, you're still young, and you're not old enough to get a certificate. Minister Huang meant to get engaged first, the two families had a private meal, settled the matter, and then let you live in his house. Wait for the Chinese New Year this year, and then go to the rural hometowns on both sides to apply for wine, as for the marriage certificate, wait for a few years, your age is enough, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to reapply for it. And all the expenses for running the wine, Minister Huang also said, we don't have to worry about it, he is all covered by himself - you see that Minister Huang is more reasonable and will think about it for us?

Yesterday, your brother-in-law helped Minister Huang move furniture, and went to Minister Huang's house, and after entering the door, he was completely dazzled by your brother-in-law's dirt bun, which was really beautiful and luxurious, what washing machines, refrigerators, large color TVs, water heaters, range hoods, everything, exactly the same as the homes of those city people played on TV, and they were brand new, and they had never used them once!

"Now, Shanshan, as long as you nod your head and agree, you can live in it, and if you have everything, you can immediately become a young grandmother, and get out of this slum where we live now, and we have to boil water in a kettle to even take a bath!

"Shanshan, I'm not afraid of you laughing, as soon as I think of you being able to live in an elevator apartment soon, I, as a sister, am envious! Alas, I don't know if I have the opportunity to live the kind of happy life that Shanshan you are about to live in this life!" As she spoke, Jiang Yan sighed, with a look of envy and yearning on her face.

But after Jiang Shan listened to her sister's words, not only did she not have her sister's admiration and yearning, but her little face turned pale with fright, and she shook her head desperately:

"No, I'm not going! I don't like elevator apartments! I'll live here, I'm willing to live here for the rest of my life! Sister, brother-in-law, don't let me be a good friend with his surname Huang? I really don't like him! Besides, I'm still young, only sixteen years old! I don't want to be friends so early.

"Please, sister, brother-in-law, don't let me follow Huang Yong, okay? As long as you promise me this, I will always listen to you in the future, I will finish all the housework, and I don't want any pocket money, I will give it to you, and I won't run around in the future, just stay at home, okay?"

Jiang Shan pleaded with her sister and brother-in-law, and as she spoke, tears flowed out. She is really afraid, in Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away from home, she only has two relatives, her sister and brother-in-law, if both of them force her, or drive her out, and don't let her live, she doesn't know what to do with her penniless self, whether she will become a homeless street child on the street.

After Jiang Shan's pleading words were finished, she heard a "pop", and her brother-in-law Zhao Honda directly put the wine glass in his hand on the small square table, his face was very gloomy and black, as if he was going to scrape off half a catty of ink.

And her sister Jiang Yan also slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table hard, with a cold face.

"Shanshan, do you still know that you are sixteen years old? Do you know what your sister was doing when she was sixteen? It was in the field with your father and mother facing the loess and her back to the sky hoeing mud, washing and cooking for you and your brother every day, and within two years, you came out to work again, and sent money to your hometown every month for you and your brother to study, all of this, you have forgotten, ah?

"I won't talk about my hard work, I'm your sister, and I should help you.

"But what about your brother-in-law? He is an outsider, helping you, helping me, helping our family, and how little help is there? Do you know how hard your brother-in-law is in a day and how much pressure he has? He not only has to support the small family of the three of us, but also has to support your father, your mother, and your brother, and also support the family of the elderly! Do you think he is not tired, he is not bitter, and he is not wronged?

"Sanshan, you're not young. If you are still staying in the countryside of your hometown, you are at your age and have reached the age of talking about your mother-in-law's family. Your brother-in-law is now in a critical period, and the position of the head of the inspection team is very important to him, as well as to our whole family. The old team leader retired at the end of the year, and Minister Huang is qualified to recommend, but the so-called recommendation is actually a matter of his words.

"Shanshan, you must know that if it weren't for your brother-in-law, our family wouldn't be where it is today. Your younger brother can't pay a high price to study in the county seat, and our two sisters can't leave the poverty in northern Shaanxi to live and work in a bustling and lively big city like Jiangcheng.

"So, Shanshan, you have to listen to your brother-in-law and be more considerate of your brother-in-law's difficulties! Our family conditions are like this, we were born in such a family, and our parents who are lazy and lazy and only know how to scrape their daughter's oil, what can they do? But the parenting grace of our parents cannot but be repaid, so we can only accept our fate! Our two sisters have done good deeds and accumulated virtue in this life, and strive to have a good baby in the next life, and come from a good family-" Jiang Yan was about to say more, but at this time, she was interrupted by her husband, who was silent, raised his hand.

"Let Sansa figure it out for herself. Zhao Hontian glanced at Jiang Shan, his face was disappointed, and his face was full of hatred, "If Shanshan is really unwilling to make a little sacrifice for our big family that loves each other, we don't want to force her." Leave it to herself. Look at her own conscience. Anyway, my Zhao Honda is a waste in this life, and I won't have any hope, I will live in the slums for a lifetime if I turn into a cow ......and a horse!

With that, Zhao Honda stood up from the table, staggered, stumbled, and walked towards his and Jiang Yan's bedroom with a sad and desperate expression.
