47. Disowned
Shen Mu read the letter, his face was iron-blue, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, he looked up at Qin Zhong, and said with a forced smile:
"Dad, this, there is a misunderstanding here, I am the eldest son in the family, I should have supported my parents, how can I go to other people's homes, there is no matter."
Qin Zhong had a calm face and was expressionless. Shen Shui on the side looked at the two of them, and when he heard this, he pursed his lips, got up and wiped it on the kang table, raised his hand and patted it into Shen Mu's arms, and said angrily:
"Who can't say good obedience, look at it! What is it? ”
Shen Mu's face was ugly and tight, he lowered his head and opened it to take a closer look, the anger in his eyes was even worse, he resisted the urge to look back at Li, only to feel that his face was burning in panic, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
Shen Shui looked at him like this, his heart arched with anger, his hands on his chest, slanted his eyes and hung his head silently, Li sneered, and said unceremoniously to Shen Mu:
"Big brother, you keep saying that it's a misunderstanding, what's the matter? Is this silver ticket also a misunderstanding? Five hundred taels - tsk, what a big stroke! ”
sneered twice in a strange voice, and after saying that, as soon as the voice changed, Shen Shui Liu's eyebrows were upside down, and he reprimanded; "Is this to smash our Qin family with silver, or to buy the eldest son of the Qin family with silver? Big brother, you are really capable, not to mention filial piety in the past few days, you don't even want your family when you marry a daughter-in-law, just forget a few of us as younger brothers and sisters, you don't care, I didn't expect you, but my father and mother raised you so big, this is something that can take silver? This kind of beast is not as good as a beast, big brother, can you do it too? ”
The five hundred taels were sent back with the letter, and Qin Zhong and his wife didn't have time to be happy before they got angry, and then Agarwood called the family back, and everyone knew about it.
Shen Mu was sprayed all over his face by the eldest sister's spit, but he didn't care to wipe it, his face turned from red to purple, and his fists creaked, but he was not angry for Shen Shui, but angry that Li had done such a disobedient and unfilial thing from him, he was really guilty, and he had no face to justify anything.
Taking a deep breath, he knelt on the ground with a puff, Shen Mu really kowtowed, his voice was full of remorse, and said:
"Daddy, my son is wrong, it's all my son's."
Agarwood has been sitting quietly, looking at Li quietly, seeing that she has been hanging her head, as if an outsider, until Shen Mu knelt down, then raised his face and glanced at it, seeing this situation Agarwood couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Shen Mu's kneeling is to take the fault on himself and make up for his daughter-in-law.
It's strange that the Li family dares to do this, it seems that she has weight in the eldest brother's heart!
Eyes swept to the face of his father, saw that Chen's face was loose, thought about it, suddenly got up and helped Shen Mu up, and said: "Big brother, you get up first, everyone in the family is here today, let's make everything clear, and we can live a clean life in the future." Otherwise, if there is a pimple in the heart and a barrier, it will not be good. “
Shen Mu didn't move, Agarwood raised his eyes to look at his father, Qin Zhong knocked on the dry smoke, said in a deep voice, and said: "Get up, this matter is not just a matter of admitting mistakes, what are you thinking, all explain." “
Only then did Shen Mu get up.
The family sat down, Shen Mu and his wife sat on the two chairs in the middle of the room, and the three younger siblings of the Qin family sat down around the old couple, and they were silent for a while.
Agarwood raised her eyes and swept it over, sighing secretly in her heart, it seems that she still has to do this offending work, looking up at Shen Mu, Agarwood said in a light tone:
"Big brother, when you come back this time, you shouldn't go far again. You said in your letter that you had married a bride, but when we saw it, it was too late. In the middle, it was only three or five days of work, and besides, many things were vaguely written in the letter, and even if my father and mother had the heart, they didn't know how to prepare. Big brother, what's your plan? Not to mention the aside, but where do you want to live, do you want to clean up the house, or do you go out and make another note? ”
As soon as the words fell, Li couldn't help but glance up, and just collided with Agarwood's gaze, Li was shocked, and quickly lowered his head, thinking about it in his heart.
This question has a deep meaning, one is that Shen Mu married without permission and did not tell his parents, which was a loss of manners. The second is that they said that their family book was delivered late, which is obviously not taking their parents' family to heart and is perfunctory. Three! Ask where to live, the eldest son has the responsibility of support, there is no reason to live separately from his parents, if he lives elsewhere, but it is no different from a separate family, then the misunderstanding just mentioned is naturally no longer a misunderstanding, which is equivalent to slapping oneself...... This sister-in-law is a difficult one!
Li Shi thought about it for a long time, only tilted his head slightly, and looked at Shen Mu, as early as when he got married, she said some things, and he didn't refuse!
The contemplation hooked the corners of his lips from beginning to end, but there was no smile. It's just that his eyes can't stop wandering between the eldest brother and the woman who has become famous for not seeing each other, and the look in his eyes is obscure.
A sneer hooked the corner of Shen Shui's mouth, and he squinted at the two opposite, just waiting for him to respond.
Qin Zhong Chen also stared at Shen Mu, his eyes burning, with a hint of anticipation.
Shen Mu looked at the faces of his family one by one, and finally fell on the youngest little sister, I haven't seen her for a few years, the little sister is more and more provocative, not to mention the exquisite appearance, this whole body style is similar to the master, no wonder......
It seems that this matter will not be done if it is not clear, taking a deep breath, Shen Mu listened to his back, his voice was calm, and said:
"I am the eldest son, where my father and mother are, I will be there! There is no reason to live elsewhere. It's just that the father-in-law of the Li family only has two sisters and brothers of the Li family, and the brother-in-law is now young, and when I married the Li family before, I responded to her, and I will take care of the Li family more in the future. ”
The words were sonorous and powerful, but the faces of the old couple of the Qin family who were just talking about it warmed up, and Shen Shui's gaze at Shen Mu was much gentler.
Agarwood did not move, glanced at his face and turned slightly, looked straight at Shen Mu, and asked:
"So, the Li family has moved to Beijing?"
Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and responded: "Naturally, my father-in-law was reluctant to separate his father and daughter, so after thinking about it, he sold his land, and the family came to Beijing to live, and it was closer to them in the future, and it was more convenient to take care of them." ”
Close? Agarwood couldn't help but smile and asked: "Listen to the eldest brother, the in-laws have already purchased the real estate, this is not slow, the eldest brother's family has only returned to Beijing today...... The eldest brother knows where the house is, but has he seen it? ”
Li's face changed slightly, and his gaze at Agarwood added a little caution, and Shen Mu also reacted, at this time, he couldn't hide his embarrassment, raised his eyes and glanced at his father's and mother's expressions, and sure enough, he drooped again, and his heart couldn't help but have a thousand indistinguishable tastes.
The letter to the family is only three or five days in advance, but this real estate purchase is not a bad thing to do in seven or eight days, especially when you first arrive in Beijing, you have to inquire carefully, if you can buy it in half a month, it is good. But Shen Mu knows a lot about this, and even more so - he can't say that he still contributes to the Yue family!
Tsk, I have time to think carefully for the Yue family, but I don't even have time to send a letter to the family......
The atmosphere in the room instantly froze.
Chen couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly he was in trouble, and asked in a series of voices:
"Mu'er, tell your mother the truth, what you said in this letter is not what you mean, that is, what you mean when you marry a daughter-in-law? I have never seen a daughter-in-law who has to be connected to a family, this Li family followed you into Beijing, and in the future, they will rely on you. The houses around here are not cheap, not to mention, even if you want to buy it, you can't get the money, Li Jiatou came back to Beijing, I don't believe they have this ability, it's all your strength, the favor, isn't it? Also, Jingli is so big, why do you have to be close to our family, what are their ideas? Do you want you to live in the Li family from time to time, kiss them every day, even if you have grandchildren in the future, you will also kiss them, and take our Qin's surname for nothing, but in fact, I gave away a son for nothing, not to mention, even the grandson is raised for her family, ah-? Isn't it? Mu'er, you tell your mother, is it all? ”
Saying that, Chen's tears couldn't help but flow, these words didn't leave any face for Li's family, but Chen couldn't care about it, seeing that her son was not her own, it was too late for her to be sad!
Chen's face turned purple, and he couldn't sit still at this time, he stood up tremblingly, his face full of tears, but he pulled Shen Mu's sleeves, ignoring his annoyed face, choked with mourning, and said:
"Xianggong, you, you should explain it clearly to your mother-in-law! My mother-in-law's words made me feel ashamed...... Let's get married, when we get married, you will be married, and you will answer my ...... The younger brother is very weak...... You have answered my ...... If I give birth to a boy, I will give birth to my mother's family...... Xianggong, you can't be untrustworthy...... Answered mine! ”
After a few words, everyone in the room was in an uproar, and the husband and wife of the Qin family looked at Shen Mu with a look of surprise on their faces, Shen Mu Huo Ran turned his head and glared at the Li family, angrily withdrew his sleeves, pointed at the Li family, and said angrily:
"What else are you talking about? Now, but when it is time to make trouble, besides, at that time, when you said this, I said that I had to ask my parents, if my father and mother nodded, and I had more than one man, I should get you, but if my father and mother did not agree, this matter would not be possible. I just said that we begged Daddy and Mother together, where did you say what you said, you ......"
Unfinished words, when he saw Li Shi covering his stomach with a shocked face, he was angry in his heart, stared at his stomach, turned his head and exhaled roughly, lowered his head and didn't want to say anything more.
Agarwood squinted, turned her eyes to Li's stomach a few times, and asked leisurely in the choked sound in the room,
"Are you pregnant?" Although it is a question, it is an affirmative tone.
Choked up, Li's hand holding his stomach tightened, but he still raised his head to meet the gaze of agarwood, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes,
"Yes, it's been three months!"
If it weren't for the piece of meat in her belly, how could she dare to reveal her intentions, this is a treasure in her hand, and she is not afraid that the Qin family will not agree.
Li's expression was clear to Agarwood, but he smiled noncommittally.
If it hadn't been before, my father and mother would have been happy, but now......
"Mother, you slow down, slow down, isn't there still us! Angry with one's own body, it can't be said that it is as some people want! ”
Shen Shui patted Chen gently, and the corner of his eyes squinted at the two people in the room who were pretending, his face full of disdain.
As for Father Qin, he was smoking a dry cigarette with his eyes down, although his face was not angry, but in fact, he didn't even look at Shen Mu.
He was so disappointed!
There was a choking sound in one part of the room, but there was an eerily silence in another.
Seeing this situation, Agarwood withdrew her gaze from staring at Shen Mu, and sighed secretly, she had never realized that her eldest brother was so indecisive and temperamental in family affairs......
This mess has to be solved!
Looking at the chaos in the room, Agarwood took a sip of tea, and suddenly rested heavily on the kang table, and after a muffled sound of "bump", the room was completely quiet.
Agarwood looked at the Li family and asked directly: "Miss Li, don't be busy crying first, I only ask you, are you willing to live in the Qin family?" ”
Miss Lee? Is this a reluctance to admit her identity?
The handkerchief in Li's hand tightened, and he didn't raise his head, only covered his eyes, and wept sadly: "Xianggong said, said, father-in-law and mother-in-law are kind people, and they will answer my ......."
That's unwilling!
As soon as the agarwood was basked, he looked at Li quietly, half a sound, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay, as you wish." ”
Li's body trembled, he raised his head suddenly, stared at Agarwood with red eyes, and asked, "Is this true?" ”
She saw that in the Qin family, it was this sister-in-law who was in charge, who was Qin's father and Qin's mother, and she also listened to her, if she agreed, this would ......
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but have a smile on my face.
Agarwood didn't look at Qin Zhong, Chen and the others in shock, no longer looked at Shen Mu's hesitant face, just stared straight at Li, looked at the joy and pride in her eyes that couldn't be concealed, nodded, smiled slowly, and said word by word:
"Naturally, it's not just that, it's the child in your womb, and it also belongs to your Li family's surname."
After a pause, his face was full of ecstasy after the Li family was stunned, and the agarwood tone was cold, and the words were like knives, "You don't have to enter my Qin family, and my Qin family will choose another family for the eldest brother, and the woman who married at that time is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family." As for you, just do your filial piety for your father! ”
