Chapter 160: Rules
"So many people come, do you serve or do I serve?" As soon as Xinxin heard Mu Nan say that his family was attacking, her face turned cold.
Mu Nan hurriedly persuaded: "Aren't there my parents?" Besides, they can eat and drink themselves. ”
Xinxin glared at him and said, "Your mother? Your mother can't even cook for a small child, and she still expects her to serve more than a dozen people? Besides, how can you live at home? I'm tired every day when I come back with my children, how can I still have the leisure to entertain so many guests? Can't they wait for their children to come back? ”
Mu Nan was embarrassed and said, "Can you still not let your uncle and aunt see the child?" ”
Xinxin said angrily: "Who won't let them see it?" But is it important that they meet, or is it our lives that matter? Do you have to mess up our own lives before you stop? Besides, when they come, can we not accompany them? We've both taken our leave, and we've asked for a lot of leave, are you embarrassed to ask? I'm embarrassed anyway. See for yourself! ”
Mu Nan saw that Xinxin couldn't make sense, so she had to go back and persuade the old couple, wanting to delay this matter first.
"You ...... You guys are ...... This...... Unruly! Did You Know? "My father-in-law got angry first.
The mother-in-law echoed angrily on the side and said, "That's it! I don't understand the rules at all, but I know herself, it's too unusual! Who has a child and doesn't let their relatives come to see it? Let people say that our old Mu family has no rules! This has spread in the village, is it a shame, and how can we raise our heads and behave like people? ”
Rules, although it is not a law in the countryside of Mu Nan's hometown, it is better than a law. So when it came to the rules, Mu Nan was also silent. He turned his back and went back to his room.
Xinxin also listened to the words of the old couple in the room, and she said loudly without waiting for Mu Nan to speak: "Don't tell me any rules!" The rules of your hometown, how much bride price do you have to pay to marry a daughter-in-law? How many red envelopes do new daughters-in-law have to give when they enter the door? Should the in-laws give the house? How many pieces of gold jewelry should I prepare? Propriety! Now that I think about it, I'll tell you the rules. Okay, let's make up for the previous rules for me first, and then talk about the rules later! ”
The father-in-law and mother-in-law were embarrassed and flushed when they heard Xinxin's words in the house. My father-in-law has never been picky in his life, and there is no shortage of rules. When Mu Nan got married, it was the first time. And the only time. Because the son told them that they didn't have to worry about it, and they didn't need to spend a penny. He's getting old, and he's a little too old to do anything. The son was so filial, he was happy in his heart, so he acquiesced. When the daughter-in-law entered the door, she didn't ask for a penny, and gave them back the money. He was happy and sighed at the time. felt that he was innocently treated. But who knows, today Shin Shin turned this matter out. He felt that his old face had been lost, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The mother-in-law was also too embarrassed to speak, but soon, anger prevailed. How? Hasn't the son always advertised that this daughter-in-law is kind and simple? Can a simple person understand the rules of his hometown so clearly? Can a kind person slap his in-laws in the face like this? This Xinxin is really a bad heart. It is estimated that she has already inquired about it, but she just didn't say anything because she had teeth in her heart. This woman is so scheming!
In fact, Xinxin really didn't deliberately inquire about these things, she knew that the rules of these hometowns were purely accidental. When she followed Mu Nan back to her hometown for the New Year for the second time, Mu Nan's sister-in-law saw that she didn't have any srest. was generous and talked to her. As she spoke, she complained about the different treatment of her mother-in-law when she entered the door with her second sister-in-law. Why did he get married and gave a bride price of 15,000, and the second family gave 20,000; What is the red envelope that you enter the door is only 500, and the other person is 1,000; What is the house for yourself is the old house, and it is worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan if it is packaged, and the new house for the second family is a new house, and the house alone is 100,000 yuan, not counting the furniture; and only got a gold ring of more than five grams after passing through the door, and the second family weighed seven or eight grams at a glance...... It was from her intermittent narration that Xinxin knew that Mu Nan's hometown had so many etiquettes and rules to get married. She also asked Mu Nan in private: "Isn't your family quite rich?" Just marrying two sisters-in-law is 200,000 yuan. ”
Mu Nan shook his head and said, "You don't understand." This is the rule of the old home. Even if every household borrows money and carries debts, they have to do the same. As for the sister-in-law, she is greedy. The old house was built a long time ago, and it is indeed some years old. But the homestead is big and the house is spacious. Mom and Dad felt sorry for the eldest brother and wanted to live with him, so they left this place for him. It didn't cost a lot of money to build a house. When my eldest brother got married, I was in school, and my family didn't have much money at all. At that time, in order to raise the money for his marriage, I remember my dad sitting on the steps in front of the door all night. When I woke up in the morning, my black hair turned gray. ”
Xinxin heard it with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Did you make it up?" ”
Mu Nan nodded gloomily and said, "It's on." This is the rule, if you don't get together, the girl's family is not happy not to say it, and her own family feels that she can't hold her head up. ”
Xinxin then asked: "Then what should I do when my second brother gets married?" ”
Mu Nan had a smile on his face: "When the second brother got married, he just built a road and washed away our family's land." gave a lot of money, and his parents built him a new house. I also went to college, and my family has the confidence to borrow money from others, and people dare to lend it, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to pay it back. Therefore, the second brother's marriage is more beautiful. However, in the next few years, my parents still worked hard, my father went into the mountains every year to smash stones for people, and my mother raised pigs and chickens, and she was reluctant to eat an egg, so she took it out and sold it for money. It wasn't until I graduated from college and started sending money to my family that I helped them pay off this debt. ”
Xinxin was also very emotional about the difficulties of the two old people, so she never thought that she had suffered a loss, but often wanted to give the elderly more subsidies in terms of finances, so that they could enjoy their lives. Today, if it weren't for the second elder repeatedly talking about the rules, she finally touched Xinxin's reverse scales, and she would not want to mention it for the rest of her life. Ke Xinxin is also a person with a temperament, once she said it, she didn't pay so much attention to it, and she said it to Mu Nan, and the words were relatively hard, and the old couple felt a little unbearable when they listened to it.
Mu Nan listened to Xinxin's words, and became a little anxious, no matter whether Xinxin had the heart to say it to her parents, the two old men must have listened to it. Isn't that to embarrass them? He shouted and said, "Are you finished?" Back then, I told you about my family's situation, and you agreed that marriage should not be done according to the rules of your hometown, and now you say that what is going on? ”
Xinxin replied: "At that time, I agreed not to follow the rules, and now I don't follow the rules, so what's not to do?" ”
Mu Nan made Xinxin feel a little unreasonable, but she still said with a face: "You have something to say, why are you talking about all this uselessness?" ”
Shin Shin said, "That's good. People from my hometown can't come! ”
Mu Nan said angrily: "If you don't come, you won't come!" Who are you to come! ”
The father-in-law and mother-in-law secretly complained in the house, but they were helpless, so they had to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. (To be continued.) )
