Chapter 5 Engagement
Pushing open the door, a damp musty smell came to my nose, covering my mouth and nose, and carefully entered the house, the roof was covered with cobwebs, and I don't know what was hanging from the palm-sized windowsill, hanging down scatteredly, a single wooden bed with only three legs, leaning against the base of the wall.
It seems that this is not a place to live, and there is nothing wrong with a wry smile floating on her lips, at least she hasn't lived on the streets, at least her mother still has a place to sleep.
"Ahh The mother sneezed.
Today's mother is exceptionally quiet, her dull big eyes are gloomy, she is sitting on the burden and nodding her head at this time, the third brother will never return, with her understanding of him, he will definitely not come back to this family.
With a shallow sigh, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up the broom and started cleaning, and found a few bricks to cushion the wooden bed, and when he was worried about the bedding, Xia Dong walked in with the quilt, looked at his gray-faced sister, and his eyes were red: "I'm sorry......."
The choked sound is difficult to idiom.
smiled lightly and said softly: "There's nothing to be sorry for, we're grateful that you can take us in, at least my mother doesn't have to accompany us on the streets, it's really good." "Every sentence and every word is not to blame him for his big brother, every word is like a knife stabbed in the heart of his big brother!
Xia Dong really wanted to hold his sister tightly in his arms, talk about his experience and grievances, when he left home, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, he wanted to mix up his own appearance to pick up his mother and younger siblings, who knew that the years passed, and he was just a beautiful person in front of the people, but he couldn't be the master behind him.
However, explanations are always superfluous, and it is only boring to stay any longer, so I put down the quilt, looked at my mother, who was leaning in the corner and sleeping, and turned back to the villa.
In this way, Eve stayed at the eldest brother's house, during the day she helped Sister-in-law Li take care of the housework in the villa, and at night she returned to the warehouse to accompany her mother, thinking about the third brother who ran out and couldn't sleep.
Life can go on.
Wei Chen became a frequent visitor to Xia Dong Villa, and only when Wei Chen came, she could wear the beautiful new clothes that Qingli bought for her, no, to be exact, for Wei Chen.
Qingli still only treats her as a sister-in-law in front of Wei Chen, and after Wei Chen leaves, she is still the parasite who is not even as good as Sister-in-law Li, but fortunately, she has never regarded herself as a guest or host of this house.
Early in the morning, Eve was thinking about her mother's hair while combing her hair, and Sister-in-law Li hurriedly came with two handbags: "Eve, hurry, Madame asked you to change your clothes and hurry up to the front." ”
"Sister-in-law Li, is there something wrong?" Eve put down the comb.
Sister-in-law Li smiled all over her face: "I want to congratulate Miss Xia, Gongzi Wei's parents will come to discuss your marriage with Madame in a while." ”
Eve suddenly found that in the eldest brother's villa, almost everyone only obeyed the orders of Mrs. Qingli, and the eldest brother seemed to have no say at all.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Li, I'll go as soon as I change my clothes." With a smile on her face, she muttered in her heart, Wei Chen's mother once told her very bluntly that let her have less dreams of turning a sparrow into a phoenix, it is absolutely impossible between her and Wei Chen, how could she come to propose?
After settling down with her mother, changing into the clothes brought by Sister-in-law Li, she walked slowly to the villa, she had been here for a long time, and she had never looked up to see the scenery of the villa, and now she was standing on the stone road leading to the villa, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, Eve felt for the first time that she could marry Wei Chen was the only way to escape from here.
"Eve, you are so beautiful." Wei Chen suddenly appeared in front of her, his eyes shining as he stared at her.
Today, Qingli specially prepared a purple printed lantern skirt for Eve plus a small white lapel coat, ten-inch high heels set off her legs more and more straight and slender, and her long black hair was tied in a ponytail at will.
"Brother Chen." There is still a timidly call.
Hurriedly stepped forward, her lips fell on her smooth forehead, her delicate body trembled slightly, at this moment, Wei Chen hated to rub her into her life, and Sister-in-law Li shouted uninterestingly: "Young Master Wei, Miss Xia, Mrs. and Chairman Wei, please hurry up." ”
Wei Chen looked at her affectionately, and walked to the villa with a little cold hand.
"This is ......." Wei Chen's mother, who was full of jewels, did not recognize Eve.
Qingli twisted her thin waist and stood up to wrap her thin shoulders, and smiled coquettishly: "This is Eve, how is it?" Qingli tilted her head slightly, her face a little proud, as if Eve was a work of art in her hands.
Wei Chen's mother pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, I don't recognize this as Eve." ”
"yes, yes, I remember the last time I saw you, you were only so tall, and you hid behind Xia Xi with two braids and refused to come out." Wei Chen's father laughed heartily and motioned for Eve to sit down.
"Uncle Wei is good, Aunt Wei is good." Nod your head lightly and smile politely.
After the greetings, Wei Chen's mother said what she meant, Qingli naturally smiled and agreed in every possible way, Xia Dong always sat aside with the smiling face, nodding and smiling from time to time.
Like a puppet, she kept her head down and smiled, like the normal reaction of a shy little girl.
"Eve, although we agree to the marriage between you and Wei Chen, but there are some things I want to tell you in advance, Wei Chen will be in charge of Huanhai Company in the future, you can't just marry him with this face, you have to help him assist him in his career, I used to resolutely disagree with your marriage, but now I see the sincerity of your brother and sister-in-law, and Chen'er, this indisputable thing, you don't want to marry, I have to agree."
"What are you talking about?" Wei Chen's father glared at Wei's mother.
Qingli hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, uncle, what my aunt said is very right, Eve, you have to learn more about management in the future." ”
The big eyes rolled around, took the opportunity to nod, and said with a smile: "What my aunt said is very true, I am looking for a job, but I haven't found a suitable one for a while." ”
"Oh, you're looking for a job, so it's better to come to work in Huanhai, and as for the position, you can start from the bottom." Wei Chen's mother didn't notice the light between her eyebrows at all, nor did she notice Qingli's gloomy expression in an instant.
Without waiting for Qingli to stop her, she hurriedly agreed: "Yes, my aunt is very thoughtful, and I ask my aunt to promise Eve one more thing." ”
"What's the matter?" Mother Wei's face sank.
"Please Aunt Wei promise Eve that I will go to work in Huanhai and not disclose my relationship with Wei Chen."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be a sensible child." Wei's mother was a little approving, she didn't approve of this family business, and it was just an expedient measure to agree.
The two families talked and laughed, and began to discuss the time and details of the engagement, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with her anymore, and the villa seemed to be lively because of her arrival.
Only she knows that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
