Chapter 57: Family Affairs
You Yiman's car made a big circle and drove towards Huangpu District. Huo Zuo half-opened the car window, the cold wind poured in outside, he looked at the metasequoia on both sides of the road, and said, "Don't go back?" ”
"Go to Big Brother."
"What are you going to do with him?"
"Dinner."
Huo Zuo rolled the window down a little bit: "Didn't you tell me?" ”
"Our brothers and sisters, do you want to talk about it for a meal?"
"Is there something that only called the two of us to go, and I won't get down the car, you can be honest." He said as he went to get the lighter in the car drawer, "I didn't talk about it when I got in the car in the morning, but I only talked about it now, and it seems that things are not simple." ”
"You can settle all the things that are not simple, but now they are just some family matters."
"Well, you must not say that. It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs. As he spoke, he lit the cigarette, "Is it the sister-in-law and the eldest brother?" ”
You Yiman pursed his lips, and it seemed that he recognized it. Huo Zuo put the cigarette in his mouth: "Then you'd better not take me there." The last thing my sister-in-law wants to see at this time should be me. ”
"Looks like you still know something."
"What else could it do? I have written a few tabloids before, and I have spent money to settle them. There are also negatives, the second uncle went to get a few copies back, and they were all burned. ”
"According to the rules, it shouldn't be like this. You always go drinking and dancing with your eldest brother, who is that woman and what's going on with your eldest brother, you still know what's going on. ”
"Don't you dance too much?"
You Yiman glanced at him: "But that's really not my girl." Can't remember? She's still in the movies. ”
That's all said and done, Huo Zuo said that he couldn't remember it.
"Mu Qiuping." He flicked his cigarette out of the car window, "Is it normal to catch the trend and be romantic." ”
"People are joking and making a joke on the spot. Now that the eldest brother is going to divorce his sister-in-law, do you think it's a show? ”
"You've said so now, what can I say?" Huo Zuo rubbed his forehead, he was really helpless, "People, I asked Cheng Changyu to introduce him to his wife's film company, and now that my eldest brother likes it, I am half an introducer." I can't get out of this matter, but what is the relationship between my sister-in-law and my eldest brother, you know better than me. ”
"Even if you want to get a divorce, it shouldn't be a divorce for an actress at this juncture. Isn't that nice to say? ”
"That little girl graduated from college and became an actress, which is also a serious career."
"You and I know, do you know that you write newspapers and read newspapers? She just acted in a movie, and she asked Lao Ma to kick the original partner and marry her, don't we care, anyway, everyone is shameless, do she want it? ”
"Look at it, look at it, how did you get to this point? Yiman, you have to talk like this after dinner, I think my eldest brother is going to lose his temper with you. ”
You Yiman muttered in his mouth: "I'll see what kind of temper he has with me." ”
The car drove to the outside of Ma Weisan's mansion and stopped, it was considered a family banquet, and no one else came except them. The maid led You Yiman and Huo Zuo into the restaurant, the dishes were almost ready, Ma Weisan sat at the top of the long table with a bitter face, and there was no one on the left and right.
You Yiman glanced upstairs and deliberately asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?" ”
Ma Weisan frowned, and when he saw that she asked knowingly, he pointed upstairs: "I said that I was not feeling well and refused to come down." ”
The woman said, "Is it physical discomfort or mental discomfort?" ”
Huo Zuo sat down on Ma Weisan's right hand side first, and interrupted when he heard the words: "Okay, I came over today to eat at my eldest brother's house, since my sister-in-law feels uncomfortable, I will let my subordinates send the food up in a while." ”
"Yes, she didn't ask for it. Hey, you know, it's not like you're losing your temper upstairs? ”
You Yiman also sat down at this time, and when he heard Ma Weisan say this, he also laughed: "If a woman just loses her temper, forget it." Tell me, how did you get into this situation? ”
On the table is an ordinary home-cooked side dish, and a cup of crab roe porridge is placed. Ma Weisan sighed and said with a bowl of his own mouth: "How did I know that things would turn out like this? Originally, you said that it would be good for me to marry a second aunt, not that I would not give her the title and face of the eldest wife. But you see, she made such a fuss, she had to say that I would divorce if I remarried, so what should I say? ”
said, first look at You Yiman: "Can you tell me, what if I marry a second aunt?" ”
"Now it's the sister-in-law who has clearly told you that the second aunt is too big or not, and the second aunt is too important. Is it that if you want to marry the younger one, you have to leave the big one first? ”
"Look if it's okay to find trouble!"
Huo Zuo also filled a bowl of porridge by himself, his eyes went back and forth between the two of them, and he asked, "Is this marriage really divorced?" Big brother, do you like that girl to like this? ”
"I like this, we have sore teeth when we are old. It's just that you said that I have reached this position, and I have to listen to her threats when I marry a second aunt's wife, where can I put my face? Speaking of which, Ma Weisan didn't seem to be able to drink the porridge anymore, so he put the bowl down, "I'm worthy of the Wu family, after so many years, my Ma Weisan's face is earned back by myself." How did her mother's family care about me all these years? No, she should be polite to her brother, she should give money and money, did I say anything? Neither do you! Now I want to marry an aunt's wife, and her face will hang down immediately. I happily mentioned this matter at the wine table a few days ago, because I wanted it to be a happy event, and she was so good that she didn't give me any face in front of my brother, and when she stood up, she threw me a sentence: 'Marry, it's okay.' If she doesn't have me, I don't want to do this big lady'. ”
"It's a bit of a shame to give you face." Huo Zuo took a cavity.
"She never gave me face from beginning to end!"
You Yiman listened to what he said here, so he said a fair word: "But did you rely on the Wu family when you first climbed?" This marriage can't be divorced, big brother. What do people think of you when you leave? ”
"Relying on his Wu family, I should have returned everything when my father-in-law died. People used to treat me as a soft eater, but I earned my face back little by little. ”
"But after all, people have kindness, you can't help but repay it."
"I offered my wife as a bodhisattva, and I almost didn't build a temple with clay for her, and I haven't forgotten the kindness! But now, you say...... Tell me, is this the right thing for her to do? ”
You Yiman looked like he was smiling. Ma Weisan turned his head to look at Huo Zuo: "Come, Xiao Huo, can you tell me!" This matter is justified or not! ”
"Big brother, it depends on whether you look at love or reason." Huo Zuo also put down the bowl, "Yu Qing, my sister-in-law has been married to you for more than ten years, and it is normal for her to say this kind of thing." Yu Li, although you are married to the second aunt, how can you give a foreign young girl a name, she still has the right to say a word when she is big. ”
"You're right, she has the power. But you can't threaten me like this, right? She has the final say in this family, I have the final say? ”
You Yiman said: "It depends on whether you want this wife or just a nominal wife." ”
"Xiaoman, don't talk so yin and yang, I know that you are a woman who is on the side of the woman nine times out of ten!"
"If I'm really on the woman's side, I'm not going to sit down and talk to you right now. I have already pointed at your nose with my sister-in-law and scolded. ”
Ma Weisan sighed in distress.
Huo Zuo actually couldn't figure out why Ma Weisan had to marry Mu Qiuping at this juncture. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will be beautiful for a few years. For him, what kind of beautiful woman can't be wanted in Shanghai?
He asked, "Big brother, why do you have to marry her?" ”
Ma Weisan let out a long sigh. You Yiman also asked: "Yes, why do you have to marry back?" You are raised outside to raise a small one, as long as you don't enter the house, I think my sister-in-law will still turn a blind eye. ”
"I've been married to your sister-in-law for so many years, and it's not like there's no relationship." Ma Weisan sighed and finally lowered his tone, "But it's just that I've been married for so many years - I don't have any children with her." I remember her mother's kindness, and I did everything I could. So even if I didn't have this child, I never thought about divorce. ”
You Yiman guessed seven or eight points when he heard this: "...... What do you mean, the girl is pregnant? ”
Ma Weisan covered his face with both hands, and said in a sullen voice: "She said that she didn't give her an answer within seven days, so she went to Queen Mary Hospital to operate on her own and beat the child." She doesn't want much, just the title of an aunt's wife. I think since she herself has said so, and she doesn't want to be bigger, isn't this a big one? Can the child born be regarded as me and Pepe? ”
“…… I understand, it seems that you overestimated the success rate of this matter and underestimated the self-esteem of your sister-in-law. ”
Ma Weisan wiped his face and sat on the chair with some annoyance. He is now the number one person in Shanghai, but he asked two women to be trapped in this game.
"I've said everything I need to say, and now it's like this...... What do you tell me to do? ”
"My aunt must be married?" You Yiman glanced at him.
Ma Wei replied three times: "If you don't marry, my child will be gone." ”
"But my sister-in-law also made it clear, either divorce or don't marry, right?"
"That's right."
Huo Zuo didn't overdo it: "I can't sort out this kind of housework." If you are determined to marry the second wife, I can't do it. ”
"I came to you just to persuade Peipei, your sister-in-law may be able to listen to a few words!"
You Yiman spread his hands: "How can you expect two flowers to bloom so good?" ”
"Then there's only a divorce?"
"Isn't it better not to get divorced?"
"What about children without divorce?"
"This ......"
In the stalemate, I heard a woman's voice outside the restaurant: "The surname is Ma, you want a child, you want an aunt's wife, you want it." I, Wu Peipei, is an old hen that doesn't lay eggs, and I have wronged you all these years to maintain this marriage in order to repay my father's kindness. Let's get a divorce. ”
The servants gathered around her, neither to persuade nor to stop her. Huo Zuo and You Yiman hurriedly stood up: "Sister-in-law! ”
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing!"
Wu Peipei packed up the soft belongings, the two big suitcases on the left and right, and there were still tears on her face: "Tell him to go with that vixen!" Ma Weisan, you listen up! I've followed you all these years, and I've really poured blood mold for three lifetimes! Tomorrow I will send out a newspaper and publicly announce our divorce! ”
Ma Weisan sat in place with a gray face, not moving. You Yiman was secretly anxious when he saw that Wu Peipei was really taking his luggage and was leaving, so he turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "You have something to say, big brother!" ”
He didn't move.
Huo Zuo watched Wu Peipei go out of the door, and he had no choice but to sit back in his position. You Yiman glared at the two men: "You two are like this, you don't react?" People don't chase it back! ”
Huo Zuo frowned: "How do you see this situation?" ”
You Yiman raised his hand and pointed at these two guys: "At this time, you men are really unreliable!" ”
Turning his head and running towards the door, he shouted: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! You wait for me! ”
Wu Peipei didn't stop, and replied to You Yiman: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade anymore." In this marriage, I must divorce the surname Ma! ”
You Yiman caught up with her at this time and took a suitcase from her hand: "I don't advise you." They are all sisters, if you want to divorce, I support it! ”
turned around and shouted at the men in the room: "Tell them men to toss by themselves, whoever doesn't want to be faced, it's not clear at a glance!" ”
After shouting, he turned around: "Let's go, I'm here by car, you have so much luggage, it's not easy to entrust others, I'll arrange it for you." ”
