Chapter 11: I Can't Open My Mouth
These words are neither light nor heavy, and they hit the sore spot of Zhou Yiyan at once.
Zhou Yao is a gentleman who was spoiled by his parents, and his father Zhou Jianye was patriarchal, and he also subtly rooted this concept in Zhou Yao, which made the relationship between the two siblings very weak.
Zhou Yiyan has been bullied by Zhou Yao since he was a child, and he hated him very much, thinking that he was still being ridiculed and sarcastic by him now when he endured humiliation, he immediately became angry.
"In addition to this villa, isn't there a bride price of five million? By the way, where does the money go now? Zhou Yiyan has always been afraid of Zhou Jianye, so he turned his head to look at He Fengying, "Oh, my mother said that the money was to pay off my brother's gambling debts, look at me, I have been stupid for three years." ”
After finishing speaking, his mood suddenly became a lot brighter, and even the grievances accumulated before dissipated.
Zhou Yao's face changed on the spot, and even Zhou Jianye and He Fengying frowned.
Zhou Yiyan collided with her brother for the first time in front of her parents, feeling like a well-behaved driver running a red light for the first time, and her mood was very delicate.
But it's a pleasure.
Zhou Yao took a step forward, and asked her with a blue face, "Stinky girl, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhou Yiyan was not afraid that Zhou Yao would do something to her here, so she broke the jar and broke it, and said angrily: "It's literal, all the money from my sale was used by you to pay off the debt!" ”
"Yi Yan," without waiting for Zhou Yao's attack, Zhou Jianye spoke with a serious expression, "Do you think that if you marry out, you will no longer be a member of the Zhou family?" No more fathers and brothers in your eyes? At the beginning, you didn't agree to the marriage, thinking that I sold my daughter for glory, but now it's good, but in turn you are worried that we will touch your light? ”
Zhou Yiyan has always been in awe of Zhou Jianye in his heart, and his fear is greater than respect.
Other people's families are fatherly like mountains, and her family is fatherly like mountains, so that she can't straighten her waist at home, can't lift her head, and can't breathe.
She had been afraid of her father for more than 20 years, and now she suddenly felt that she was not afraid.
The father, who was as tall and majestic as a mountain in her heart, seemed to be just an ordinary uncle at this time, wearing a coat of dozens of yuan a piece bought from a stall, describing him as haggard, but he continued to maintain his previous high and arrogant, and his eyes were always contemptuous and dissatisfied when he looked at her.
They have all reached this point, and they still look down on her.
Zhou Yiyan took a deep breath and forced his emotions down.
She didn't plan to refute Zhou Jianye's words, it didn't make sense with him, because he couldn't listen to her at all, and all her grievances were hypocritical in his eyes.
So what else is there to say.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes reddened slightly.
At this time, the butler came over and said to her respectfully, "Madam, the refreshments have been prepared, and the guests can move to the living room." ”
He Fengying hurriedly took advantage of the situation to play a round game: "Yan Yan, let's sit down and talk again." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go inside, but the housekeeper raised his hand and signaled, "Please change your shoes first." ”
He Fengying was stunned for a moment, when she was Mrs. Kuo in the past, there was a maid who specially sent slippers for her when she entered the door, but in the past year, she has been wandering around, and she can only afford to rent the cheapest tube building, and there will always be stains on the walls and ground, and she can smell the smell of oil smoke wafting from next door when she enters and exits, and she has long forgotten about those exquisiteness.
Coming back to her senses at this moment, she looked around the villa affectionately, and said in a complicated mood: "Yes, change your shoes first." ”
However, the housekeeper's "guest" aroused Zhou Jianye's dissatisfaction.
"What guest? This is my daughter! The implication is that he should be the master.
The butler did not argue with him, and stood silently with his hands down, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and his handsome face always had a decent smile.
Compared with the two, Zhou Jianye lost in terms of magnanimity.
Zhou Yiyan was disgraced for him.
"I don't want to go into this place." Zhou Yao could see that the housekeeper was defending Zhou Yiyancai and talking like that, thinking that he used to be a dignified Zhou Shao, but now he even dared to give him a horse, where could he stand it.
"Ah Yao......"
"Come in, you go in." Zhou Yao started the temper of the eldest young master, and no one could listen to his words, so he flicked his sleeves and left.
He Fengying was worried that Zhou Jianye would also leave, so he hurriedly took his arm and walked inside.
The pastries placed on the coffee table are very exquisite, but they are also very common, and before the change, Zhou Jianye was not eye-catching, but at this moment, he picked up the chopsticks and ate them all over again.
He Fengying only needed a piece of osmanthus cake instead, and ate it very slowly, and by the time she finished eating, the other pastries had already been swept away.
It seems that the money given by Guan Linyuan is really only enough to pay off gambling debts, not a penny.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have saved even a breakfast.
"Steward Ji, let's make more snacks in the kitchen." Zhou Yiyan finally relented.
"No, I'm tired of eating too much." He Fengying stood up and said, "I want to go see the baby, is he sleeping?" Who is taking care of him now? ”
"In the upstairs nursery, I hired a professional to take him." The boat led them upstairs with geese.
When passing by the master bedroom, Zhou Jianye glanced there, but the door was closed, and he couldn't see anything.
He Fengying asked bluntly: "You and Lin Yuan are sleeping in this room now, right?" ”
Zhou Yiyan had no choice but to push the door open and said, "Yes." ”
"It's a mess." Zhou Jianye only glanced at it, then frowned and criticized dissatisfiedly.
There was a cry of "wow" from the baby room, and He Fengying hurriedly quickened her pace.
Oak was walking around the room with him in her arms.
"Auntie and uncle, how are you......" Mai Li smiled and said hello, and then said to Zhou Yiyan, "I'm still crying after changing diapers, it's a little crying bun." ”
Zhou Yiyan smiled: "Like me." ”
He Fengying walked over and reached out to hug the baby: "Let me come." ”
Zhou Jianye's eyes also fell on the baby, and there was a little love in his eyes.
"Why don't you help him put on his hat? What about hats? He Fengying reached out to touch the baby's clothes, and was even more anxious, "Why do you only wear so little?" Don't have any clothes ready? ”
Mai Li explained with a smile: "It's heating on, and the baby itself is a little sun, so you don't need to ......."
"Didn't you hear me? What about hats and clothes? He Fengying interrupted her.
Oak's smile froze.
Zhou Yiyan has no idea, and he doesn't know how to raise children, so he didn't know who to listen to for a while, but he thought that He Fengying had actual combat experience, so he said to Mai Li: "It's better to wear more?" ”
Mai Li took out his hat and clothes from the cabinet, and still said disapprovingly: "The most taboo thing for a little baby is to cover it too much. ”
Zhou Yiyan took advantage of He Fengying's inattention, winked at her, and said in an angry voice: "Just cover it for a while." ”
Mai Li could only follow her and whispered: "Then I'll go around outside, and you guys will chat here." ”
As soon as Mai Li left, He Fengying was even more dissatisfied, and asked Zhou Yiyan: "What is her attitude?" What kind of sister-in-law do you have? That girl doesn't seem to be married yet, does she know how to take care of the baby? ”
Zhou Yiyan helped Mai Li speak: "It's not a sister-in-law, Mai is a nurse, very professional." ”
He Fengying put on a padded dress for the baby and put a beanie hat on him, during which the baby cried earth-shatteringly and choked on his own saliva.
"You have to make him feel secure and wrap up a little tighter." He Fengying showed her and wrapped another blanket on the outside of the swaddling clothes.
Zhou Yiyan watched his little ball being tied into a small rice dumpling by the five flowers, and felt that it was more reliable to use wheat oak.
"It's better for you to hire a sister-in-law than a nurse, and she also told me about the profession, and the nurse's specialty is injection and dissection." He Fengying said that everything was reasonable, and the lesson was the first to teach people, "Xiao Young has no patience, no experience, and self-righteousness, you are so bold that you dare to hand over my grandson to such a person to take care of." ”
He Fengying counted down, and the baby cheered, and the cooperation was seamless.
Zhou Yiyan said: "Mom, you let him stop crying first." ”
He Fengying still has a hand in coaxing the doll, she clamped the swaddling clothes with her arm, humming a little song while walking, and after a while, the baby really quieted down.
"Well, quit that nurse and I'll take care of the baby myself." He Fengying was afraid of waking up the baby, so she lowered her voice.
Zhou Yiyan asked, "Where do you live now?" Is it convenient for you to come here every day? ”
He Fengying bent down to put the baby back on the cot, and then said, "It is definitely inconvenient for us to stay in a hotel for the time being." In this way, you can discuss with Lin Yuan and help us rent a house nearby. ”
This area is a wealthy area, and renting a house is not cheap.
Zhou Yiyan's own savings are not much, if she agrees to He Fengying's request, she is bound to borrow money from Guan Linyuan, she is really unwilling, so she said: "Why waste that money, I think the wheat takes good care of the baby." ”
Zhou Jianye, who had been silent, snorted coldly at this time, stood up and said to He Fengying: "Look, give birth to a daughter!" The elbow turned out, and it was a waste of money to help us rent a house. ”
He didn't deliberately control the volume when he spoke, and the baby jumped and woke up, bursting into an amazing cry.
Zhou Yiyan's heart hurt suddenly, the baby was woken up by fright, and his expression was both uneasy and aggrieved.
She hurriedly picked up the baby, but was snatched by He Fengying.
"My good grandson, don't cry, don't cry. Your mother is not sensible, she made your grandfather angry and woke up my good grandson. After she finished speaking, she began to hum a little song again, and it took a lot of effort to get the baby to fall asleep again.
Zhou Yiyan held his breath, and it was not easy to attack, and his nose was sour for a while.
He Fengying pulled her to sit down, touched her head, and said heartily: "Silly child, haven't you turned a corner yet?" As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, only your parents really feel sorry for you, and some people don't dare to guarantee that they can be favored for a lifetime even if they marry a good husband, not to mention what your relationship with Guan Linyuan is, you know it. If we live nearby, and you and the baby have a good care, even if you are wronged in the Guan family in the future, you can come to us for the first time to stand up for you, you think about it is not the reason. ”
He Fengying can be eloquent, and she has a thorough understanding of Zhou Yiyan's character, and the words she said are difficult to refute, Zhou Yiyan couldn't resist it, and said in embarrassment: "I want to discuss it with him......"
"That's right, you talk to Lin Yuan tonight and give me an answer tomorrow morning. In fact, you don't need to rent a big house, you can just have two bedrooms and one living room. ”
This is obviously talking nonsense with your eyes open.
This area is a single-family villa-type mansion, where do you get two bedrooms and one living room?
Zhou Yiyan saw He Fengying's difficult means for the first time, and he was helpless and embarrassed in his heart.
Until evening, when Guan Linyuan returned to the villa, she hadn't figured out how to speak.
