138. a glass cabinet
At least Xia Solstice thought he had walked into the house fearlessly.
She sat down in front of Xia Jianfeng with her head held high, and He Yan and Xia Yuan were also waiting beside her.
She didn't know what she should say, but the words jumped out when she opened her mouth: "I know you must scold me, you just scold." I don't feel like I'm at fault. Whether or not to get married is my own business, and it should be up to me to decide. β
Xia Jianfeng was holding a teacup in his hand, and he was sending a full cup of tea to his mouth, ready to moisten his throat before speaking, but he didn't expect Xia Zhi to speak first.
He smashed the teacup on the tea pot on the coffee table, and the porcelain collided with each other, which made He Yan and Xia Yuan startled, and the tea also jumped up and splashed on the table.
"Is marriage your own business? This involves two families, because of your selfishness and willfulness, and now both families are stirred up, you actually say that you are not wrong? β
Originally, Xia Zhi was a little guilty about this, but in order to support her faΓ§ade, she stared straight at Xia Jianfeng and said, "I will live with this person in the future, not you!" If I am not happy in my marriage, will you suffer for me? β
"You haven't even married, how do you know you're unhappy? Isn't Ah Ran capable of giving you happiness now? After the house is bought, you move in, the car doesn't cost you a penny, and even the working family has arranged it for you, what happiness do you want? Xia Jianfeng's tone was also quite rigid.
"That's your definition of happiness? Got a house, a car, a stable job? β
"Then what more do you want? Don't think your dad doesn't know, you just have a high heart, so ambitious, and want to write a book in Nanzhou as an editor and be a big man! Who do you think you are? Is the big city so easy to mix? Didn't your parents give you a chance? What the hell are you messing with?! β
Xia Zhi stood up suddenly: "When did I say that I wanted to be a big man?" You think you know me well, that's what you know about me? β
Xia Jianfeng also stood up and confronted her: "I don't know you? I know everything you want! You haven't let go of a normal nerve in your brain since you were a child, and you hold a book to read all day long, writing those messy articles, do you think your dad doesn't know? You're just reading books and having a bad brain! β
"Sister, sister! Let's sit and say okay? Xia Yuan ran forward and pressed Xia Zhi onto the chair.
He Yan also pulled La Xia Jianfeng's arm: "What are you angry about?" Persuade her well, didn't we tell Ah Ran not to have a bride price? Let's do the wedding according to it, ah, do you think it's good to do this on the summer solstice? β
Xia Zhi widened his eyes and shouted, "Not good! How do you decide on my marriage? β
"Just because we're your parents!" Xia Jianfeng has completely overshadowed the summer solstice in terms of volume.
"Are there parents like you? Never asked what I thought! Xia Zhi's eyes were full of tears, and his face rolled down his face with the words of the mouth.
Xia Jianfeng crossed his waist with one hand and poked in the air with the other: "We didn't ask you what you think?" Ah Ran didn't pick it yourself? Shall we take a knife to your neck and ask you to get married? β
"The fifth time we met, you urged us to get married! Have you given me time to think about it? Xia Zhi let her tears flow, she didn't want to wipe it, she knew that she must be embarrassed now.
"And how many times do you want to see before deciding? Do you think it's not long enough, three years is good? I'll give you three years, I didn't care about you at all, the person you choose, you decide to go to Taicheng by yourself, what is the situation of this person, your parents have already told you, you don't believe it, you want to go, you want to hit your head and break the bloodstream, we let you hit it. What now? β
Xia Zhi pushed away Xia Yuan and suppressed her hand: "I'm just so useless!" Why do you care about me? Isn't it good to leave me to fend for myself? What are you calling me back for? β
Xia Zhi ran towards the door, and Xia Jianfeng followed closely: "I'll tell you, you go to Ah Ran with us now to apologize, this marriage can be saved, if you go out of this door, you will never find such a good man in your life!" β
Xia Zhi stood in the hallway, one hand on Xia Jianfeng's glass cabinet, and the other hand on the raised foot with shoes.
She ignored Xia Jianfeng, and He Yan stepped forward and grabbed Xia Zhi's hand: "Xia Zhi, you just go and apologize!" β
Xia Zhi turned his head to stare at He Yan: "Then I'll be a dog for the rest of my life, right?" β
Xia Jianfeng's hands opened and closed widely, Xia Yuan was always afraid that he would rush up to fight Xia Zhi, so he hugged his waist in a panic: "Sister! Don't say it, you go first, and come back later! β
"What are you doing back! Out of this door, I don't think I have this daughter! Xia Jianfeng was buckled by Xia Yuan's waist and couldn't move forward, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and roared, shouting so that his chest and abdomen stiffened.
"Don't, Xia Solstice, don't go, you go and apologize, Mom will go with you!" He Yan was so anxious that she directly grabbed the shoes of the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi shrank his hand to avoid her, one foot did not stand firmly, the whole person shook twice, the foot without shoes was crossed on the ground, but the center of gravity of the body still could not be stabilized, and after falling to the side two steps, he hit the Bogu cabinet full of retro glass bottles impartially.
Xia Zhi felt that the cabinet shook and was about to smash it on herself, and He Yan was also standing next to her, if the cabinet fell down, not to mention the glass of this cabinet, she and He Yan would also suffer.
The glass of the cabinet could not be saved, and after a quick weighing, she pushed the cabinet in the opposite direction with her body.
Xia Jianfeng watched a cabinet of glass bottles that had been collected for more than 20 years fall backwards with the cabinet, and the "crackling" sound was like rain smashing the ground, Xia Yuan was so frightened that he let go of Xia Jianfeng, covering his ears with his hands and stunned.
After a while, the sound of glass shattering finally stopped, and the rest of the ground was littered, and the shards of glass that had fallen into slag were spread on the ground, flashing with a little cold light.
The four of them didn't speak, and Xia Zhi's left shoulder and crotch were secretly painful from being hit by the cabinet, but she didn't check the injury.
Xia Jianfeng opened his mouth, and his eyes wandered and took two steps forward. Xia Yuan and He Yan had no idea at all, looking at the fragments, looking at Xia Jianfeng, and then looking at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi didn't know what to do, she bit her lip, and the strength between her teeth tightened unconsciously until she bit her lower lip out of blood.
The resentment in her heart was still there.
She resented Xia Jianfeng for indiscriminately occupying the moral high ground and accusing her of opposing her after the incident, and she also resented her weakness and indecisiveness, and did not have enough courage to make choices for her life, resulting in drifting.
And at this moment, in the face of Xia Jianfeng's more than 20 years of hard work in this place where Xia Jianfeng was destroyed, she also felt a trace of guilt in her heart.
With mixed feelings, she became clearer in her heart: it was precisely because she didn't say "no" firmly at the beginning that it led to today's deadlock, and she couldn't make mistakes again and again, and let the mistakes expand, even at the cost of Xia Jianfeng's cabinet of glass.
Xia Yuan came to his senses first, he had a bitter face, and gestured to Xia Zhi behind Xia Jianfeng to tell her to leave quickly.
There is no need for Xia Yuan to remind her, Xia Zhi also knows that the time has come for her to really leave home.
She left He Yan's call behind.
