Chapter 345: Outsiders

A circular clock hangs on a wall, and the hour and minute hands show the time at half past seven. Once again, the door was opened. Mao Dalong returned home from work.

As soon as he entered, he heard the voice of people in the living room. So, he closed the door with his hand, changed the shoes on his feet, and walked directly inward.

Mao Dalong not only saw his mother-in-law, but also saw a man he didn't know. He looked at the good wine and food on the table again, but he didn't wait for himself to come back and started the meal directly.

Mao Dalong's self-esteem was immediately seriously damaged. Of course, he didn't care what he ate, but was he the head of the family or the head of the family? No matter what, he had to call himself beforehand!

"What are you doing standing stupidly, do you want me to feed you?" Bai Jie's mother was angry when she saw her wretched son-in-law.

In the past ten years, her daughter has not touched him for half a minute, but has suffered a lot. The daughter was short of money and the cash flow was not working, so she ran to herself to borrow money.

said that it was borrowed, but it was never repaid, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. Of course, mothers will not worry about this with their only daughter, after all, blood is thicker than water, and she will be alone in the future.

I give my own money to my daughter, grandson, and granddaughter, and that's willing. However, he was unwilling to post it upside down to Mao Dalong and his family. Every time they come, they come to fight the autumn breeze, without exception.

Not only that, Mao Dalong's seven aunts and eight aunts, everyone in the village, as soon as they came to Jiangdu to look for a job or something, they ate and lived here, and it was completely their Maojia Village office here.

As the saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. How did she come here, but everything changed? Who still has such a son-in-law, and he will not give the other party a good face.

Bai Jie took the initiative to stand up, gave her husband a step down and said, "You go wash your hands first, and then come over to eat." I'll pour you the wine. ”

Mao Dalong let out an "oh", turned around and walked to the kitchen to wash his hands. As soon as he turned his back, Bai Jie's mother blurted out: "Is he also worthy of drinking Moutai?"

"Grandma, don't talk about dad like that!" Mao Gui felt that his father was very pitiful, and he had always been looked down upon by his grandmother, who was the chef of Huaiyang cuisine in the hotel.

I know very well that although my father has no ability, he has been mixing around for more than ten years, and he is still just a mountain village teacher who has not been organized, but he is also good to his mother, and he has fulfilled the responsibility of being a husband and loving his wife, and he has done the love that a father should have for himself and his sister.

"He's not your father!" Bai Jie's mother really didn't mean to shoot Jia Youwei's ass. She's a straightforward person.

"Mom, you're not afraid of jokes. There are still guests here!" Bai Jie took the initiative to remind her mother to stop in moderation. Even if you don't look at your grandson's face, you can take care of your own face.

Bai Jie's mother just reacted, and apologized to Jia Youwei: "I'm sorry, the family is ugly." ”

Even if Mao Dalong heard her husband's dissatisfaction with her in the kitchen, she could only pretend not to hear it. Who doesn't have the ability to make a lot of money back? This is not welcome, and it is normal.

Mao Dalong walked out of the kitchen, came to the dining table, and slowly sat down on the chair that opened the main seat. He picked up the small wine glass in his right hand, and drank the Moutai in the glass in one gulp as soon as he tilted his head.

Mao Dalong suddenly smiled with a sarcastic tone: "My mother-in-law's food is not something that ordinary people can eat. Even I can't eat it. This allows my mother-in-law to cook herself, and you are a distinguished guest of our family!"

Jia Youwei completely heard that the other party was not sarcastic about himself, but sarcastic about Bai Jie's mother. He said unhurriedly: "I have known Bai Jie's mother for more than ten years. ”

Mao Dalong was relieved that part of his heart was unhappy, and the two of them were old relationships, so it was not surprising that they would receive such high-level courtesy.

I think that at the beginning, when my parents and brothers and sisters came to the house for the first time, not to mention that my mother-in-law cooked and drank Moutai wine, and no one even came to show up.

Mao Dalong didn't know in his heart that his mother-in-law just looked down on their family and disliked them for being poor and sour. Even after all these years, the attitude is still the same.

Mao Dalong also heard that Jia Youwei's accent was not a local: "It seems that you are not a native of Jiangdu." ”

As soon as Jia Youwei responded to the word "yes", Mao Dalong's inferiority complex was immediately exposed: "Although I am not a local, I have been in college for four years, worked for more than ten years, and added up to 20 years, which is barely half of Jiangdu." ”

"You are the son-in-law of the Jiangdu people. Jia Youwei smiled without any other meaning.

Mao Dalong was particularly sensitive, and said as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail: "Are you saying that I am a foreigner?"

Jia Youwei seemed to understand something: "You are too careful." I'm an outsider. ”

"You're not an outsider. If I'm not mistaken, the old lady's ancestral home is Jiangdu. Bai Jie's mother couldn't help but interject.

Jia Youwei understood that the "old lady" in her mouth meant her grandmother and said: "Grandma's ancestral home is indeed in Jiangdu. ”

Mao Dalong immediately felt that he was being discriminated against. I am a foreigner. His natural lack of self-confidence and sensitivity all came from his poor family upbringing.

In fact, Jia Youwei and Bai Jie's mother didn't mean to target him, but when he listened to the words in his ears, he became the identity of a foreigner who looked down on him.

This cannot be blamed entirely on him, after all, the local area has a long history, especially among middle-aged and elderly women, there is a particularly high degree of discrimination and xenophobia against outsiders from underdeveloped areas who come to Jiangdu.

Over time, the neutral word "outsider" naturally became determinative. On the other hand, this kind of discrimination and extraneous nature of the locals is not without reason.

The influx of uneducated, unskilled, and unbankable migrants into economically developed areas and cities in order to survive will inevitably lead to bad things. On top of that, locals feel that more jobs are being stolen by them.

Moreover, life in an economically developed city is not easy. The mother-in-law prefers a rich son-in-law, which is completely reasonable. What is the person who is a mother who wants to see her daughter marry a poor man and suffer in the future?

"The old lady's ancestral home is not only in Jiangdu, our first Wang family in Jiangdu. Bai Jie's mother raised the thumb of her right hand and said with a smile on her face.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Jia Youwei said politely.
