Chapter 236: Truth
The Meng family was not too far away, and the carriage arrived after walking for half an hour. Seeing the carriage coming from a distance, Uncle Meng, who was basking in the sun at the door, saw it at a glance, and hurriedly stabbed Xu who was eating melon seeds on the side, and then stood up to greet him.
Xu pursed his lips, his expression was not the best. But she didn't know how to think of herself, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly stood up and ran towards the yard.
Guo Mianmian opened the car door and happened to see Xu twisting his body and running into the yard. She thought that Xu Shi would not welcome her, but she didn't think elsewhere.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Auntie!" Zheng Rin helped Guo Mianmian get out of the carriage, and the two of them greeted Uncle Meng who came up.
Regarding Uncle Meng, the impression of the couple is not bad, although they can't control their daughter-in-law, the three views are normal, and it is not easy to not be distorted by the abnormal Xu family for so many years.
"Okay, Happy New Year." Uncle Meng seemed very happy, the truth was unpleasant on the day of the tea ceremony, he thought that his nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law were strange and would not come to celebrate the New Year, but he didn't expect the two of them to come, how could this make him not happy!
The three of them walked into the house while talking, and as soon as they crossed the threshold, they saw Xu hurriedly approaching, and behind her was a young woman who was combing the woman's head and hanging her head and couldn't see clearly.
Guo Mianmian glanced at it slightly, thinking that it was Uncle Meng's daughter-in-law who didn't go to her uncle's house to celebrate the New Year, so she wondered a little in her heart, and didn't care.
However, the young woman seemed to be aware of it, raised her head and glanced at Guo Mianmian quickly, her eyes lingered on her body arrogantly, a trace of jealousy crossed her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head and followed Xu, as if nothing had happened to her body.
Although she had seen the Meng family on the day of the tea ceremony, she couldn't remember a few people in such a moment, so she didn't know that this young woman was not the daughter-in-law of the Meng family she thought.
The couple also paid New Year's greetings to Xu, but this time, Xu's attitude was unexpectedly good, and they really smiled at Guo Mianmian, who had always been disgusted: "It's very cold today, you go to the corner to bask in the sun, and I'll cook dumplings with you." ”
Xu's posture brought Guo Mianmian not flattered, but extremely terrifying. She subconsciously looked at the man beside her, eager to ask if her ears had stumbled.
Zheng Rin was also very surprised, he didn't say anything on his face, and said politely to Xu: "No need for the eldest aunt, there is something else at home, and we will come back when we go to the house of the second uncle and the little uncle." ”
When Xu Shi heard this, his expression fell: "I will cook two bowls of dumplings, what can delay you?" If you don't eat it, you will look down on my aunt and your mother-in-law. ”
Uncle Meng also tried his best to persuade him, and he really wanted to leave his nephew for dinner.
The words have come to this, Zheng Rin didn't want to embarrass each other, and after asking his daughter-in-law with his eyes, he had to nod: "Then there will be Aunt Lao." ”
Xu Shi looked very happy, she pulled out the young woman behind her, and said with a smile on Guo Mianmian's face: "This is my maiden niece Meizi, a few years older than you, you young people have something to talk about, let her accompany you, save you from being bored." ”
At this time, the woman called Meizi came up, exposed her beautiful face, and took the initiative to greet Guo Mianmian: "Guo mm is good, if Guo mm doesn't dislike it, just call me Sister Meizi." ”
Listening to this "Guo mm", somehow, Guo Mianmian expounded a feeling of exclusion in his heart. Just stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling person, she missed the discomfort in her heart, and a little smile was revealed on her face: "How can you dislike it if you are all relatives, then I will call you 'Sister Meizi'." ”
Mei Zi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looked even happier, and warmly grabbed Guo Mianmian's arm and aimed at her stomach: "I heard my aunt say that Guo mm is pregnant, Guo mm is really a blessing." ”
Looking at the ripe plums, Guo Mianmian secretly felt a little cautious in her heart, but her face revealed a little shyness, as if she was not beautiful and intended to answer.
Seeing this, Meizi's lowered eyebrows and eyes showed a touch of jealousy, and when she raised her head again, the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter.
Xu Shi looked at the two people in front of him who were kind and kind, the smile on his face was a little thicker, and said to Guo Mianmian and his wife: "Then you have a good chat, I'll cook dumplings first, and then come out to greet you later." ”
As he spoke, Xu took small steps and flew into the kitchen, and soon the sound of ping-pong sounded in the kitchen.
Regarding his mother-in-law's exposition today, Uncle Meng was the most pleased, and said to Zheng Rin and Guo Mianmian: "Your aunt is a knife mouth, and her heart is still the best. ”
Guo Mianmian's heart was not moved, and Uncle Meng was full of face: "Uncle Meng is worried, and she is still bothered by her, a respected elder, to take care of us juniors." ”
Zheng Rin didn't speak, but his demeanor was a little loose.
Seeing this, Uncle Meng thought that the unpleasantness of the tea ceremony day could be revealed, and his face was flushed with joy temporarily, and he said "yes" vigorously.
Today's sun is very bright, and there is no wind in the body, Guo Mianmian sat in the corner of the courtyard and basked in the sun leisurely, but it was also very leisurely and comfortable. Zheng Rin was called away by Uncle Meng alone, as if he wanted to talk about something very important.
Guo Mianmian leaned back in the chair, and the whole person spontaneously emitted a lazy smell. If no one is noisy around, she will be more satisfied.
Meizi didn't see the impatience in Guo Mianmian's eyes, so she asked in a beautiful voice: "Guo mm, your mother's business is so big, do you want to hire someone to help in the spring?" ”
Guo Mianmian's eyebrows jumped, and there was a look of embarrassment on her face: "Sister Meizi, you also know that I am a married daughter, and it is not possible to interfere in the affairs of my mother's family, I can only ask you about this matter, and I don't know if it can be successful." ”
The look on Meizi's face faded a little, and what she said was still pleasant: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking, can you be better, can't you be without a body, I don't blame you." ”
The corners of Guo Mianmian's lips twitched, this woman is not the niece of the Xu family, and her face is as big as the Xu family. Is it any wonder who has anything to do with him? Is it possible to think that she will take care of her feelings?
Thinking so in her heart, Guo Mianmian's face was not exposed, but she just pretended to be curious and asked, "Sister Meizi, where is your husband's family?" Why did you come to celebrate the New Year for your aunt and aunt today? ”
Meizi's expression froze, casually revealing a sad look: "I, my life is not as good as Guo mm, I married a useless man, and I am not afraid of Guo mm's jokes when I say it, I was beaten by my mother-in-law's family before, and it was my aunt who took a lot of effort to bring me out, otherwise I am afraid that I have been beaten to death by them." ”
Speaking of this, Meizi covered her face and cried, her voice was sad, and she looked so pitiful.
"Sister Meizi, you ......"
So that she didn't hurt this woman, Guo Mianmian inevitably felt a little sympathy in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her. Regarding domestic violence against men, she has always looked down on them, but during this period, men's domestic violence against women seems to be unreasonable, and rarely provokes serious attention.
However, I had already heard that a woman who was still being abused by domestic violence could not bear it, and one day she threw a packet of rat poison into the soup of the man who abused her, and poisoned the man to death. In the end, this woman was also scolded as a femme fatale.
Mei Ziyi cried happily for a while, and gradually stopped her tears. She looked at Guo Mianmian, as if she had unbeautiful intentions, and said: "Let Guo mm smile, I, I actually can't help but ......"
Guo Mianmian shook her head and said that she didn't mind, seeing that Meizi's feelings had improved, she didn't bother to comfort her.
Meizi seemed to have found an outlet, and said sadly: "Guo mm, you don't know what kind of life I have lived in the past ten years, marrying into such a family, it is simply jumping into the fire pit, at first I thought that if I could have a child, he would not treat me like this, but I didn't expect his body to be wasted, and I haven't been able to conceive a son and a half daughter over the years." ”
After that, her tears stayed involuntarily, and she noticed the extreme coldness on her face, and hurriedly wiped it with her sleeve, and glanced at Guo Mianmian carefully, for fear that she would dislike it.
Looking at such a plum, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, he can't help but cherish it, Guo Mianmian, who is also a woman, can't help but feel a little sentimental, and finally speaks: "Since the eldest aunt took Sister Meizi home, Sister Meizi can live with confidence, and Sister Meizi wants to get out of touch with the current predicament, so she has to stand up by herself." ”
Meizi was disdainful in her heart, only thinking that Guo Mianmian was fooling her, and her face was grateful: "Thank you Guo mm, what you said really spoke to my heart!" I always hated myself for not being a man, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered this sin. ”
Guo Mianmian sighed secretly, and felt that it was not good for the two of them to just understand that it was not good to say too much, so they floated a few words of comfort in it, which temporarily consolidated Meizi's feelings.
It didn't take much time to cook the dumplings, and soon Xu came out with a tray. Zheng Rin and Uncle Meng in the house heard the sound and walked out, and several people sat directly in the corner with bowls and ate them.
The dumpling skin is a little thick, and the stuffing vegetables inside are more meat and less, and the taste is only average. Guo Mianmian's stomach was not hungry, and after eating a few far-fetched, he couldn't eat it anymore, and he didn't want to put down the bowl.
Just when she was in a dilemma, a hand stretched out in front of her to take over the bowl of most of her remaining dumplings, and in the surprised eyes of Xu's Meizi aunt and nephew, Zheng Rin ate the bottom of Guo Mianmian's bowl without changing his face.
Meizi looked at Zheng Rin with a complicated expression, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't dare to trust that this cold man would really eat the bottom of her daughter-in-law's bowl.
Thinking that this man almost became a husband, all the tenderness would be given to him, but it happened to be cheap to another woman, and the unwillingness and jealousy in her heart grew like weeds, and she almost couldn't control her feelings, and threw out the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.
She endured and endured, restrained all her feelings, and silently pulled dumplings into her mouth, but those eyes flashed with ambition that she had never realized.
After eating the dumplings, the couple politely refused Uncle Meng and Xu's stay, and stood up and went to Uncle Meng's house, which was not far away. The houses of the two families of Uncle Meng and Uncle Meng were next to each other, and the couple put down the New Year's gifts, paid New Year's greetings to the two maternal uncles, drank a bowl of tea with intent and intention, and stood up and said goodbye.
Second Uncle Meng and Uncle Meng couldn't keep anyone, so they had to ask their respective mothers-in-law to take out the door-to-door red envelopes that had been planned for Guo Mianmian, stuffed them into Guo Mianmian's hands, and watched the couple leave.
As soon as the carriage left the village, Guo Mianmian turned the car door and threw himself on Zheng Rin's back and wailed: "The second aunt and the younger aunt have given red envelopes, but the eldest aunt has not given them, and I have forgotten this stubble, this time I lost a lot of money, and I lost a whole two hundred Wen, which is enough to buy a bunch of diapers for our children!" ”
After listening to his daughter-in-law's complaints, Zheng Rin almost laughed, turned around and touched his daughter-in-law's troubled cheeks and said, "Why don't we come back again and ask my aunt for a red envelope?" ”
Guo Mianmian glanced at him: "If you want to go, I can't afford to lose this person." ”
Zheng Rin shook his head helplessly, and said dotingly: "It's you who regret the two hundred dollars, and you think of a way for your husband's good intentions, but you complain that your husband is embarrassing you, what is the reason?" ”
