"That's why, Sister Li, I just told you, this birthday must be particular!"

A group of old women began to chatter along a topic. Of course, there's no room for me to interject. I could only listen quietly to what they said there.

If I want to say whether I am in a bad mood, I can only say that for the first time in my life, I have experienced the taste of shame.

I know that this group of people is now chattering about Xiaoxiao's affairs and helping my mother-in-law come up with ideas, which is actually sarcastic about me.

But what can I do, in this situation, do I have to say it out loud, in fact, I am the son-in-law? I don't think that's stopping them from preaching.

On the contrary, there will be a reason to preach directly to me, and it is probably not difficult to talk to me for a day. I felt like I had eaten, and my mood was terrible.

During this period, the mother-in-law seemed to deliberately let me hear these words, neither letting me avoid them, but also not talking to me in particular. It wasn't until about two o'clock in the afternoon that these old women had eaten all the melons and fruits, and some of them left with a table of spittle stars.

"Okay, what's the matter with your coming here?"

My mother-in-law cleaned up the table and sat down across from me with my husband - I was always in a position with half of my butt next to the sofa, and my mother-in-law was looking at me condescendingly.

Looking at my mother-in-law's posture, I didn't know that she had already seen through my intentions - she was probably deliberately disgusting me.

But everyone has already come here, and I can't stop there, so I stubbornly spit out the words I had prepared in advance.

"Auntie, I hope you don't let Xiaoxiao go on a blind date!"

The mother-in-law didn't have any surprised expression on her face, she just drank tea with a teacup, and she didn't want to look at me directly, she kept staring at the TV.

I don't see how fun the show is, and my mother-in-law obviously wants to express that she doesn't want to look at me squarely.

At this time, the old man seemed to see my embarrassment, and quietly pushed his mother-in-law with his arm, and the mother-in-law glared at her wife a little angrily, but she still turned to look at me helplessly.

"Why?"

I made my mother-in-law's question a little speechless. Why? I don't want my girlfriend to go on a blind date with another man, do I have to say why?

However, losing his temper with his mother-in-law here will not solve any problems. I took several deep breaths to calm myself down as much as I could, and explained, "Auntie, I know that you are dissatisfied with me and don't like me, but Xiaoxiao is my girlfriend......"

"I don't care if you two fall in love, I can't control Xiaoxiao's girl's body, she can deal with you how she wants - but, don't even think about getting married."

The mother-in-law sneered, and the disdainful gaze that looked at me was like watching a scoundrel who was playing with his own woman for nothing.

I felt an indescribable anger, not only because my mother-in-law's words were an insult to me, but also because she almost treated Xiaoxiao as some kind of dissolute girl.

You have the ability to trick my stupid daughter, then you can spoil it as you want, but I will definitely marry her to a good honest man and bring me a lot of money—isn't that what my mother-in-law meant?

In fact, I have heard Xiaoxiao tell me many times that in their family, the mother-in-law has the greatest right to speak, the father-in-law doesn't care about things, and she was born with a weak personality, so she almost grew up in an environment where she obeyed her mother's words.

And Xiaoxiao was able to pick up the courage to refuse her mother's order, and not breaking up with me was already the bravest choice in her life.

However, in the eyes of her mother-in-law, Xiaoxiao became a silly girl, a silly girl who was entangled by a scoundrel like me and didn't know how to lose.

"Auntie, Xiaoxiao and I are serious, we really love each other sincerely, can't you really give me a chance?"

"Hehe, I'm also serious - the boy of the Zhang family, I have already given you a lot of face, and I have dragged on with you for so long, and I have not completely severed the connection between you and Xiaoxiao."

"But Xiaoxiao and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, why should we cut off contact......

"Zhang Jun! Do you think you are worthy of my daughter!! ”

The mother-in-law seemed to be unable to bear the yell, I felt aggrieved for a while, and watched the mother-in-law stand up angrily, and I also stood up suddenly.

"Ouch, what's wrong, you kid still want to use violence against me?" The mother-in-law sneered, without a trace of fear.

"Auntie! I'm here to reason with you! Do you know how much stress you've been under? You let a girl with a boyfriend go on a blind date with a strange man, I don't care, but have you considered Xiaoxiao's mood! ”

The mother-in-law snorted angrily and said, "You don't talk to me about those useless things!" Are you her boyfriend? So what have you done for Xiaoxiao over the years? You haven't even bought her a single designer dress, have you?! You're embarrassed to claim to be her boyfriend? ”

"I ......" I wanted to refute my mother-in-law, but she was also the truth.

Over the years, Xiaoxiao has always been very considerate of my situation, my family is poor, and the environment is special, so I can only rely on a white shop and part-time jobs to barely make ends meet.

Xiaoxiao is a sensible girl, whether it is a holiday or her birthday, she has never asked me for any birthday gifts.

I am grateful for this, and I have always felt that this is a proof of the mutual understanding between me and Xiaoxiao. I have never forgotten Xiaoxiao's goodness, thinking that if I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely not treat Xiaoxiao badly.

However, now in this situation, I feel very uncomfortable when my mother-in-law points this point out.

Seeing that I was dumb, my mother-in-law seemed to be even more energetic, pinching her waist and shouting angrily at me: "You shameless little scoundrel, I've put up with you for so long, do you think it's because you're good-looking!" It's not that I feel sorry for my girl! ”

“……”

"Xiaoxiao is a stupid girl, I have been deceived by you for so many years, and you have been playing for so many years in vain, you kid is not satisfied, and you dare to lick your face and beg me to marry Xiaoxiao to you?"

I trembled with anger and said, "Auntie! You can scold me as much as you want, but Xiaoxiao is your daughter, is it really good for you to say this about her! ”

"What's wrong with me? What did I say about her? I tell you, you lifeless little scoundrel, I didn't say a word wrong, old lady! ”

My mother-in-law walked up to me, kept poking my head with her fingers, and said hatefully: "When Xiaoxiao's girl grows up and is sensible, when she thinks of you as a kid, she must hate you - she has been played by you for so many years, how many good marriages she has missed!" ”

"Auntie, I've said it many times, as long as you marry Xiaoxiao to me, I will definitely take responsibility to make her happy!"

However, my firm vows did not impress my mother-in-law, who just looked at me with a sad look on her face, her eyes full of deep disdain.

"Responsible? What are you responsible for? So are your short-lived grandpa and dad in charge? ”

“…… Auntie, have you gone too far? ”

The loss of my grandfather and father was the last pain I wanted to mention. After losing these two relatives, I became a lonely person in this world, without any relatives. It is precisely because of this that I attach more importance to Xiaoxiao.

I was hit by my mother-in-law and felt pain, and I didn't even have the strength to refute for a while, and my anger turned into deep sorrow, and a dark mood enveloped me.

At this time, the old man gently pushed his wife, stood up and pulled her back to her original position. And the mother-in-law also seemed to realize that what she said was a bit excessive, snorted lightly, and lifted Erlang's legs.

"In short, the kid surnamed Zhang, it's okay if you want anything now, and the birthday is obviously not compatible with my daughter - she is a fool and is willing to continue to waste her life with you, but I'm not stupid, and I can't watch my daughter waste her good youth on you!"

"So, you let her go on a blind date when she has a boyfriend?" I laughed at myself, and my heart felt sad.

"It's not just a blind date, it's best to meet a good man, and then let that stupid girl wake up completely, and understand that your kid is just a stinky scoundrel, and it's not worth everything she has to give!"

The mother-in-law also looked very excited when she said this, and shouted: "You stinky boy, if you really love Xiaoxiao, why can't you think about it for her?!" For a girl, youth is such a precious thing! Once it's gone, you can't get it back! ”

"I said, as long as you agree with me and Xiaoxiao, I will definitely take responsibility......"

The mother-in-law slapped the table angrily and shouted, "Can't you damn little scoundrel give me some face!" You really think I'm a vegetarian, right?! Well, since you're so shameless, don't blame me for speaking ugly! ”

After that, my mother-in-law also went to the kitchen, and then threw all the fruits I bought on me.

"The old lady is not uncommon with the broken fruit you brought! Give it all to the old lady to take back! Little scoundrel, let me tell you, unless I die, you don't even dream of marrying my Xiaoxiao!! ”

At this point, I knew that it was useless to say anything more. Actually, before I came here, I knew it wasn't going to end well.

But I came here anyway, and I came to find myself guilty.

I squatted down silently, picked up the scattered fruits one by one, put them back in the plastic bag, and walked silently towards the door with the bag.

"If you're here to talk about your marriage to Xiaoxiao, don't come to my house again! The old lady doesn't want to see your short-lived face!! ”

I trembled slightly, clenched my fists, but did not refute, just silently left my mother-in-law's house.

As the saying goes, once a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water - when I walked out of the house, the sky was inexplicably dark.

In the sky, there were thick clouds of churning blue-black that were constantly pressing down. And the cold raindrops also turned into thin silver threads and fell.

The dense raindrops are not too big, and the sound of the rain is faint, gently surrounding the ears. But walking on the road, I still felt desolate in my heart, and the clothes on my body were also wet.

But at this moment, suddenly I felt a sound of footsteps behind me, and then a large hand gently covered my shoulder.

When I turned my head, it was actually my father-in-law.

"Grab the umbrella."

The old man looked at me and let me hold an umbrella.

"Be careful on the way back."

After saying this, the old man turned around and left again.

"Do you also object to me and Xiaoxiao's affairs?"
