Chapter 166: Eating II
Halfway through the meal, the faces of the men at the table were a little red. Especially Lin Nan's second cousin He An, who was already lying on the table, I don't know if he drank too much or fell asleep.
He Ping kept holding a wine glass to persuade him to drink, and Lin Nan prevaricated one by one. The two bottles of wine bottomed out, and Lin Nan didn't drink much in his stomach. Although his uncle is also old, he still drinks very well, and he is even a little greedy. Because he thought that there was still business to do, he resisted the urge to open another bottle.
He Qianqian supported the ladies on the table to take a few children to the courtyard to play, and as soon as the children left, the table was instantly clean.
Now comes the main event. Lin Nan looked at the few left on the table, and then deliberately stood up and said that he was going to the courtyard to play with the children, and his mother pulled him back to his seat.
"After eating, let's get down to business."
That's when the big dish begins.
Lin Nan exhaled lightly, leisurely picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip. After drinking, he lowered his mouth, as if he had really tasted the aroma of this good wine at this time.
Mother Lin looked at her son's calm appearance, but her heart was not steady. This kid was obviously waiting for her to speak, he had been absent-minded if he didn't mention it, and now that he had said this, he was obviously calm. This is a clear statement that you have to do it against yourself.
Mother Lin gave He Qianjian, who was diagonally opposite, a look, but He Qianjin also looked embarrassed and didn't know how to provoke this topic. His eyes swept over the dining table, and when he saw his second son lying on the table, his eyes lit up.
He Qianqian nodded at his second son and looked at Mother Lin, "What kind of luck do you say He An, what can you do, what is left to eat, but you just married a good daughter-in-law." Now the boss is following me, he and his daughter-in-law are working alone, and the business is no worse than ours. Either a fool is a fool, he just has this blessing. ”
Mother Lin immediately understood the meaning of his words, and she deliberately followed his words and replied, "That's stupid, the smartest of the children I watched was He An." I found a secretary to be Lao Taishan, and my daughter-in-law is a cultural person, so I can't do what I want. After speaking, he glanced at Lin Nan meaningfully, Lin Nan just couldn't see it, and took the wine glass idly for a while, as if the topic they were talking about had nothing to do with him.
He Qianqian glanced at Lin Nan, but seeing that he didn't react at all, he could only stubbornly continue to say, "Yes, his father-in-law has contributed a lot to their affairs." People have the ability, we can't do it, people can solve everything with a phone call, and we can't accept this aspect of connections. The eldest of my family is not good, the daughter-in-law is an ordinary girl, and her parents are both workers, so she can't help anything, so she has to stick to them from time to time. After He Qianqian finished speaking, he shook his head in disgust, looking very dissatisfied with his eldest daughter-in-law.
Lin Nan put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced at his eldest cousin with a flushed face, and felt a little uncomfortable with He Qianjian's words.
He retracted his gaze and answered as if unintentionally, "I remember when my sister-in-law first entered the door, my uncle was being criticized for standing in the wrong line. The sister-in-law is also stupid enough, and she doesn't want to think about what to do if she is implicated, but at that time, there was a danger of being sent to the countryside at any time, and I really don't know what the sister-in-law wanted to marry at that time. ”
He Qianjin didn't expect him to be upset for his eldest daughter-in-law, and his face was even redder by his words for a while. He Ping glanced at Lin Nan gratefully. Because his daughter-in-law's family is not good, his parents have given his daughter-in-law a lot of faces. Usually the two daughters-in-law are at home, one sits on the sofa like a distinguished guest, and his daughter-in-law cleans and cooks like a maid. It's just that he is useless, and he has to rely on his father for everything, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he doesn't dare to speak for his daughter-in-law.
Everyone in the family only saw the immediate benefits, and no one remembered that the poor woman married him without hesitation when his family was at its most depressed. has taken care of the old man over the years, and raised a pair of children for him, but he doesn't look like a husband at all, and everyone in the family can talk about her.
"Your sister-in-law has your sister-in-law's own goodness, we are not right about things." Mother Lin glanced at Lin Nan unhappily, "Your sister-in-law suffered a lot before, but now it's different." Look at the clothes she wears, the ones she wears around her neck, and your uncle hasn't treated her harshly. What's more, now that your second brother is working alone, the assets in your uncle's name will not all belong to your eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. ”
Let's not say that the sister-in-law doesn't care, with the current state, it is not certain who the family property will be given to in the future. Lin Nan raised his eyebrows lightly, not hiding his suspicion at all.
"Okay, okay," Seeing that her son couldn't let his brother get off the stage, Mother Lin began to try to turn the topic back to Lin Nan, "Let's not talk about your cousin and their affairs today, while everyone is here today, let's talk about you." ”
Lin Nan leaned back on the seat with his hands on his chest, "You just need to listen to me about my affairs, and you don't need to express your opinion." ”
He didn't wait for him to say it himself. Lin Mu interrupted him dissatisfiedly, "What do you want us to listen to?" You don't care about the elders at all, do you? ”
Lin Nan nodded without saving face, "I will decide my own marriage, if you really want to interfere, then help me prepare for the wedding." I have limited marriage leave and may not have as much time to prepare. ”
Everyone at the table was stunned. He took the initiative to propose marriage, and the foreshadowing just now was not done in vain. At this time, even He An, who was asleep, opened his eyes and sat up straight, and Mother Lin was even more happy.
"You've figured it out, are you going to marry Sun Ran?"
Lin Nan looked around the people at the table and stood up, "I'm getting married, but not with Sun Ran." I have almost seen the purpose of today's dinner, I don't care what Sun Ran promised you before, it's all between you, and I have nothing to do with it. As for the verbal engagement, I am even more unlikely to admit it, I just happened to be here today, I will tell you, don't let me get married by then, you still can't figure out who the new bride is. ”
Lin Mu had already been wrapped in, and she couldn't understand the meaning of his words at all. He An, who woke up later, was the first to ask, "Then who is your bride?" ”
Li Nan tugged at the corners of his mouth and gave him a bright smile, "I'll bring it over to you next time." "After this is done, when I go back, I will kidnap her to register with myself, and I will have many long nights and dreams. It is still Yu Yang's ghost who has a lot of eyes, so he hurriedly completed the formalities when he saw it, and the future things are being dealt with slowly, and no matter who tosses, he can't run this circle.
When she looked at Mother Lin again, she was already so angry that her face turned pale. Lin Nan looked at her and couldn't help but worry in his heart. After all, at such an old age, he is afraid that he will be angry again.
He Qianjin also lost the smile he had at the beginning, and he held his breath and didn't speak.
He Ping hurriedly poured hot water for the two elders to help them calm down.
