I exhaled, then looked at Lao Jin and asked, "Uncle Jin, what do you want to talk to me about?" ”

Lao Jin looked at his grandmother, and then said to me: "Your mother and we both have the same meaning about you and Jin Qiu, I hope you can take advantage of the free time recently, and hurry up to hold the wedding...... If it is delayed until next year, when the hotel on Tulip Road is built, you and Jin Qiu will have no time to think about getting married after you and Jin Qiu participate in the operation of the hotel. Speaking of this, Lao Jin didn't care about my feelings at all, and then said with a smile: "When our five-star hotel with the theme of wedding is built, the first one will hold your wedding with Jin Qiu, this matter is really not ordinary memorable, it is simply a double happiness!" ”

I felt faintly unhappy in my heart, but thinking that Lao Jin and his wife had been taking care of my grandmother like family these days, I still endured it without having a seizure, and just asked Lao Jin in a normal tone: "Uncle Jin, what kind of double happiness is this?" I never felt like I had anything to do with that hotel. Moreover, it's a cliché to talk about marrying Jin Qiu, but neither of us has such thoughts, it's really boring for you to use your parents' orders to restrain us like this! ”

I said and glanced at my grandmother, because she was probably the only person present who wanted me to do it from beginning to end, not to mention that she didn't know that Xiao Ai was married, she always thought that Xiao Ai and I were still possible. But to my surprise, this time she didn't speak, nor did she look at me, as if waiting for me to make a decision for myself.

Lao Jin was a little anxious by what I said, and the tone of his reply couldn't help but be a little higher, he said: "Jiang Qiao, it's really a little sad that you talk like this, for so many years, our family has treated you as their own son." Even if I am strict with you at work, it is because I regard you as the son-in-law of my Jin family in my heart. I hope you've gone through this kind of training and can take care of the wedding company that I have worked so hard to create...... Yes, maybe you think that your mother is back now, what is my old Jintu to your family, so shamelessly sending the girl of my own family to your Jiang family...... I'm telling you, if you think so, you really look down on me too much. In all these years, I haven't seen your mother at all, let alone talked about keeping in touch. In my Lao Jin's heart, as long as you Jiang Qiao is not lazy and lazy, you are responsible and responsible, you are my Lao Jin's son-in-law, I have never considered what you were born in, I just feel that my Lao Jin is responsible for you, and I can't live up to Lao Jiang's trust! ”

Lao Jin's words were like a thorn in my heart, and I thought of Zhao Mu's parents and Zhao Chu who indirectly left because of the burden on me. I blamed myself so much that I couldn't help myself, and almost yelled at Lao Jin: "You said that you are Jiang Jiyou's comrade-in-arms in life and death, and you are responsible for me when he is gone...... But did you control me when I was young? If you really take good care of it, Zhao Mu's parents may not have encountered the Jiang disaster, and there will be no tragedy of Zhao Chu later, which is a survival of three lives...... Tell me, what is your responsibility to me? ”

Lao Jin looked at me for a long time before he said, "For you Jiangqiao, my Lao Jin definitely has a clear conscience...... In the early years, when your parents just left, I wanted to adopt you, but at that time, you were too young and not close to us, we didn't talk to Zhao Mu's parents, but they repeatedly said that you are used to the old alleys, and you have Zhao Mu and Zhao Chu as companions when you stay here. I know that their family is honest people, so I am relieved to hand you over to them, but it is not that you are completely irresponsible, because we will send some grain and oil and 100 yuan to their house every month. At that time, everyone was generally not rich, everyone lived a very hard life, and my old gold could only do this to the best of his ability, but you can't say that I am not responsible for you Jiangqiao just because it is less! ”

I looked at Old Kim, because I couldn't remember or know these things.

At this time, my grandmother, who had been listening to my argument with Lao Jin in silence, finally opened her mouth, she nodded and said to me: "Qiao, what your Uncle Jin said is the truth, you were fostered in Zhao Mu's house at that time and you were already favored by other people's families, he was afraid of hurting your self-esteem, so he asked Zhao Mu and his parents not to mention this matter in front of you, and I don't want you to feel that you owe others everything." ”

Old Kim sat down in his chair with some loss, and his frustration stemmed from my misunderstanding of him. At this time, the room where no one spoke, the atmosphere was close to freezing.

After a long time, Luo Sumei was finally the first to speak, she said to me: "Jiang Qiao, I don't know if you have a deep memory of that era, I used to be a civil servant, but my monthly salary is only about 300 yuan, our family does not farm, the grain and oil sent to Zhao Mu's family are bought with their own money, we have really done our best to you within our ability." Lao Zhao's family has two children, and life is even more difficult, so don't always blame yourself, they met Jiang Nan because they had an extra burden on you, even if they didn't have you, I'm afraid they couldn't escape. But the old Zhao family is indeed honest people, and they have taken care of you for so many years, compared to the two sons of their own family, they do not favor one over the other, so we can rest assured that we will hand you over to them to raise...... Later, even if you dropped out of high school, we didn't persuade you, saying that we would pay for your tuition, but you remembered Zhao Mu, so you didn't take what we said to heart, and then your Uncle Jin brought you into the company...... Over the years, only Jin Qiu has been in contact with your mother, and I only know a little bit of the inside story, and your Uncle Jin doesn't know anything. So, when you just said that, it really hurt his heart, and he really doesn't have any selfish intentions towards you. If you calm down and think about it, you don't need to be persuaded by others, and you will understand...... Because, no one can be hypocritical for more than ten years, and he will not be noticed by others, not to mention that your Uncle Jin is still a straight person, the straw bale in your eyes! ”

I looked at Lao Jin again, and unconsciously remembered all these years. In particular, he once said that when I got married, he would give me a car worth at least 100,000 yuan. Then, over the years, he has indeed cultivated me as a son-in-law, but even he himself didn't realize that after Jin Qiu came back, he would gain such great achievements and wealth in a devastating way. What he was looking forward to was that Jin Qiu and I would be able to take over his wedding company after we got married, and then he would use his savings for so many years to buy a car and a house for us, so that we could live more than what we lacked and what we didn't have.

Yes, this is the way of life that his old gold can think of for us, he didn't climb high because I was Yang Jin's son and wanted to borrow so many years of parenting, more often, he was thinking about me, and wanted to give me and Jin Qiu the fruits of his struggle over the years.

After a period of silence, I finally said to Lao Jin, "Uncle Jin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you like that just now...... But there is really no need to say some things over and over again, because Jin Qiu and I don't have the emotional foundation to get married! ”

Lao Jin stood up from the sofa again, and said to me incomprehensibly: "Jiang Qiao, is it really because we are inferior in generations that there is no way to communicate about this matter?" …… In the past, you said that you liked the girl from Xiao Mingquan's family and refused to marry Jin Qiu, which I can understand...... But now that girl has married someone else, you still can't accept the marriage with Jin Qiu, I think you despise my girl! ”

I felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but I couldn't put it into words, and I kind of wanted to escape from this place.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Yi, who had always been an audience, picked up his handbag and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, it's not early, I'll go back first, I'll come to see you another day, and you can rest early." ”

Grandma looked at me and replied, "There are many rights and wrongs in this place, so you should go back and rest early...... Jiang Qiao, you send Xiaoyi, wait for them to leave later, and I'll talk to you alone. ”

I looked at my grandmother and saw an indescribable sadness in her eyes, because she learned the news that Xiao Ai was married from Lao Jin's mouth, I don't know who Lao Jin learned from it, but this is really a thing that can't be wrapped in paper, and grandma wants to know after all.

However, now, will she still persuade me to persist as she did at the beginning? At least on the surface, I don't have a chance to stick to it, and it's even less necessary!
