Text Chapter 28 Forcing relatives to come home
The festive atmosphere was enveloped in the hall of Qiu Kaiwei Darthead's house, and Wei Darthead and Xiang Rich Man sat on both sides of the main table in the hall, talking and laughing, and tea smoke was rising from the teacup in front of them. Snacks like peanuts and melon seeds are piled up next to the teacups.
In the center of the hall were eight loads of gifts wrapped in red envelopes, and on either side sat the three aunts and six mothers-in-law of the Xiang family who delivered the gifts, as well as the young people who carried the burden, they were eating melon seeds and chatting, all with smiles on their faces.
Xiang Sina felt that she shouldn't have come, and she was feeling aggrieved, so Ma Shihao took her to Wei Shihao's room to rest, rather than facing everyone.
"Father-in-law, when will the new aunt come back? We all want to see how our new aunt looks! Hehe......" someone asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, don't worry! I have sent to the workshop and called him back. Wei said with a smile.
Some time ago, Wei Dangtou and Ma Shihao both heard about Xiang Sina's singing stage to recruit relatives, but their son didn't recognize this family business, so they thought that Xiang Sina might have some defects, so they didn't ask about it. However, when the two saw the graceful and outstanding Xiang Sina, their hearts bloomed, and they both thought that this person was qualified as their daughter-in-law, so they agreed, and invited a few relatives to cook at home, cook lunch for Xiang and his party, and kill chickens and ducks, the scene was very grand.
"In-laws, you're making a lot of money this time! Others are men who come to propose, but I, it is the woman who comes to propose! Xiang said with a smile to the rich man.
"Where, where...... Since ancient times, there has been no provision that the woman cannot come to the door to propose marriage. However, the first time you came to the door, you brought so many gifts, and this is the first time that you have added glory to my old Wei family! Wei Dart pointed to the gift in the center of the hall and smiled.
"Hey...... That's a surprise, isn't it? I don't have anything, just some silk silk and satin from Hangzhou. He showed off to the rich man lightly.
"Ouch, this gift is too expensive. How can we, who are in the ravines, need all this? ”
"My family, don't be polite to me." After taking a sip of tea from the rich man, he said: "By the way, I heard that some time ago, my son-in-law was seriously injured in the battle of Menliang Mountain, and he has been recuperating in the workshop. "Tell the rich man that he has some concerns.
He suddenly remembered that Wei Shihao was injured in his left leg by a cold arrow, so he asked Wei Daotou about it, if he was disabled, he was not willing to marry his baby daughter to the Wei family.
"Hey...... That's it? Father-in-law, please rest assured, he didn't hurt his bones, he was already fine, I saw him walking freely yesterday, and I couldn't tell that he was seriously injured at all. Wei Dangtou smiled.
"That's good, that's good!"
Just as the two were chatting hotly, Wei Shihao limped into his yard, and his right finger was still bent flat on his chest, trembling, like a disabled person with congenital polio.
In fact, all of this was Wei Shihao's trick to refuse the other party when he ran all the way. This made Li Maozai, who followed him, stunned, and it took a long time to understand which play he was playing.
"Who's that?" Xiang saw Wei Shihao limping towards him from a distance, so he asked. He had some impressions of him, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
"He's my baby......" Wei Darthead said, but when he saw Wei Shihao's walking posture, he was also surprised Wei Darthead thought: "Didn't Lang Zhong say that if you don't hurt your bones, there will be no sequelae?" How so? ”
"He's Wei Shihao? Wei Darttou, didn't you say that he was fine and had no sequelae? Look...... This ......," said the rich man angrily, as he stood up.
At this time, everyone in the hall stood up, all eyes were on Wei Shihao, and everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. The daughter of a rich man said that he couldn't marry a disabled person, or where would he be in the face of his family?
"Abba, I've heard that I've proposed to my family, it's great...... I rushed back immediately, everyone is there? Wei Haoshi said as he limped to Wei Dangtou's side.
Li Maozai also followed into the house.
"Catboy, what's going on?" Wei asked with a straight face to Li Maozai.
"Uncle...... You...... Don't worry. In fact, Lang Zhong said that my brother's leg bone was shattered, and when the injury is healed, it will become a kick...... Everyone is afraid that you will always worry, so they have been hiding it from you. What you saw yesterday was my brother pretending. Li Maozai cooperated with Wei Shihao to deceive everyone.
"Huh? Is it a? "Everybody's talking.
"You're Uncle Xiang, aren't you? What about Sina? Where's Sina? Wei Shihao pretended to be elated and asked with a smirk.
Xiang thought to himself, "It's over, they have all been deceived, and he must not marry his daughter to such a person."
"Who is your uncle? I don't agree with this family business! Xiang said to the rich man angrily, and then waved his hand and let the people of Xiang's family leave with gifts.
Everyone was also holding their breath and immediately picked up gifts and went out one after another.
After Yang Sina heard Wei Shihao's voice, she had already walked to the door of the room, and when she saw Wei Shihao's appearance, her heart was already broken, and tears of sympathy had wet her eyes.
"I agree!" Xiang Sina told her father that she was willing to take care of Wei Shihao for the rest of her life, even though he was crippled, but her heart did not change.
The heart of the girl touched everyone at the scene, especially Wei Shihao, who even regretted that he pretended to be a ghost to deceive her, which made her so sad.
However, romantic dreams will eventually wake up.
"No! You must follow me back immediately. Xiang said fiercely to the rich man, pulling Xiang Sina and walking out the door.
"I'm not leaving...... Brother Shihao...... Brother Shihao...... I ......" Xiang Sina looked towards Wei Shihao aggrievedly, hoping that he would help her break free from Abba's hand, but the little woman was weak and to no avail.
Wei Shihao was ruthless, with a helpless expression, and decided to be ruthless to the end.
Mo Qinglian and Mo Man came to the door at some point, and after witnessing all this, the two of them were secretly amused, and they both thought that Wei Shihao, who was honest, was a ghost in his heart, and he deceived the eldest lady of the family, not to mention it, and deceived people with a lot of sad tears.
"To the rich man, to the rich man, please wait! Let's discuss something later! Wei Dangtou immediately rushed out of the door in an attempt to keep the rich man.
"What's so negotiable about that? There's no way I'm going to marry my girl to you. Xiang said to the rich man, and then pushed Xiang Sina onto the red sedan chair parked in the courtyard, and carried it away.
"Uncle Xiang, this is leaving? Let's go after eating! Wei Shihao shouted against his will.
Ma Shihao, who was having lunch in the kitchen, heard that Xiang Xiang and his party were angry and left, so he rushed out and asked what was going on?
When Xiang Xiana was dragged out by the rich man, Wei Shihao and Li Maozai couldn't help but snicker, which aroused Wei Daotou's suspicions, and when he saw Mo Qinglian and Wei Man appear at the door of the hall, he was even more determined to conclude that his son's sequelae were faked.
"You go and ask your good son!" Wei Dangtou replied angrily.
Ma Shihao saw the happy appearance of her son in the hall, which made her look dazed, so she had to go back to the kitchen and ask the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who came to help to stop, and after giving each of them a large bowl of meat, she sent them away.
Everyone probably knew the reason, and after taking the meat from each other, they dispersed.
Xiang Sina's body was carried away, but her heart was still by Wei Shihao's side, and the sedan chair was carried forward, and she lifted the curtain to look back. In fact, she also saw Wei Shihao and Li Maozai jumping around, and at the same time guessed the reason.
She shook her head and leaned against the wall of the car, her heart full of mixed feelings. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad at this time. In short, she didn't hate him, after all, all this was caused by her unrequited love, and she couldn't complain about the other party.
When Wei Bangtou and Ma Shihao figured out the reason, although they were angry, Mo Qinglian and Mo Man were present, and they were not good at scolding their babies. Anyway, they all arranged two tables of sumptuous dishes, and they simply invited Mo Qinglian and Mo Man to share Chinese food.
Deng Qianfu, who wanted to make Wei Shihao look foreign in front of Mo Man and Mo Qinglian, went to the East Courtyard to release the news, and then went to the West Courtyard to tell Wei Ermei.
Xie Yingjun thought this matter was very interesting, so he went home with Wei Ermei. It's just that they were a step late and couldn't watch the wonderful performance of Wei Shihao. When they returned, they were invited directly to the table. When they heard the introduction of Li Maozai, they all leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
This forced marriage show was planned by Deng Qiantu, and of course he quietly came to Wei's house to watch the climax of the play. However, everything was a complete disappointment for him.
What came out of the Wei family was only the laughter of Wei Shihao, Mo Qinglian, Mo Man and others, and there was no sound that Deng Qiantu wanted to hear.
Listening to the laughter that Deng Qiantu didn't want to hear, he hid in the corner and gritted his teeth and gurgled with hatred.
What the hell is going on?
Deng Qiantu rushed home angrily and asked his father.
"You still have the face to ask me? Look at the good things you do! Wei Shihao has become a cripple, why are you willing to pile your cousin into the fire pit? Deng Weili counted his precious son fiercely.
"Crippled? Wei Shihao is all right? He ran faster than a rabbit. Deng Qiantu's face was forced.
"Uh...... Your uncle told me personally, Wei Shihao limped into the house, so is it fake? ”
"Oh, you've been tricked, he's fine."
While he was talking, Steward Li walked in and said, "What the young master said should be true." Near noon, I also saw Wei Shihao running all the way down the street of Chumo, and he definitely didn't jump. ”
"Oh......" Deng Weili's forehead wrinkled slightly, Wei Daotou's old bones are difficult enough to deal with, and now Wei Shihao is scheming, which is even more difficult to recover the ten acres of fertile land!
"No, the Wei family, father and son, must be eliminated. Otherwise, not to mention that the fertile land is difficult to recover, it is the task assigned by General Lu Bing, and it is also in the way of having this father and son here. "Deng Weili can do anything for his own selfish interests.
Hearing that Abba was going to kill Wei Shihao and his son, Deng Qiantu was extremely excited and asked, "What good idea does Abba have?" ”
"Yes, what do you have a good idea, sir?" Steward Li also said.
"This matter is not trivial, and it must be considered in the long run!" Deng Weili slammed the crutches in his hand to the ground. It seems that getting rid of Wei Darthead and Wei Shihao is more important than getting rid of Mo Qinglian to take the treasure map.
Qiu Kai, the Wei family's banquet is still going on, everyone has already drunk three rounds and is slightly drunk, so Mo Qinglian proposed that everyone should sing mountain songs to help the fun.
"That's a good idea, then let's ask Shopkeeper Mo to start up!" Xie Yingjun said with a smile.
Now, under the guidance of Wei Ermei, Xie Yingjun's singing talent has skyrocketed, and he no longer worries about singing when he sings.
"What can I do? With the presence of the singer Master Moman, she should be the one who takes the lead! Mo Qinglian said.
Mo Man looked at Wei Shihao, she felt that his decision to reject Xiang Sina was mostly because of her, so she was more excited than anyone else that day, so she stopped pushing and sang:
Flowers bloom intentionally attract butterflies,
Butterfly has no intention of pretending to be "foot bai" (the word bai is the meaning of Zhuang words: lame).
After this village, there is no shop,
Singles deserve it when they are old.
Mo Man's clever use of dialect in his singing voice satirizes Wei Shihao pretending to be lame to deceive Xiang Sina's feelings, which should not be. And persuaded him not to be ambitious, to put himself in the right position, after this village there will be no such shop, otherwise he may be a single for the rest of his life, and he will regret it.
After listening to Morman's song, everyone laughed happily.
"Master Mo sings well, when you pretend to be lame, won't your conscience hurt?" Mo Qinglian asked Wei Shihao.
Pretending to be lame was Wei Shihao's helpless move, so he sang:
Unintentionally inserted willows into yin,
It's not okay to mess with mandarin ducks.
Brother is not a ruthless person,
There is a reason to pretend to be "foot bai".
In fact, Wei Shihao said something before singing with Xiang Sina, and everyone present knew it, but Mo Man and Mo Qinglian deliberately asked him to brush up. In this way, they sang and harmonized, and the whole feast was also happy.
Everyone sang and sang, starting from Nawei Shihao's brush, and slowly turned to the mountain song that expressed love between the two sides of the song. When Wei Shihao and Mo Man sang to each other, Mo Qinglian on the side was full of vinegar; When Xie Yingjun and Wei Ermei sang to each other, Li Maozai also felt unhappy, so he drank a lot of wine, and the room was filled with a strong sour smell and laughter!
