When Zhang Jingchi parked the car in the small courtyard, Uncle Li greeted him, he lay in Zhang Jingchi's ear and didn't know what to say, Zhang Jingchi's face was slightly cold, but he came over to hold my hand without being surprised.

To my surprise, in addition to the old man and Zhang Jingchi's mother, Xu Zhiyong, who had told me before that he had severed ties with the Xu family, was also sitting at the huge dining table, he was still sitting against the old man, and was chatting happily with the old man.

After Zhang Jingchi led me closer and closer, Xu Zhiyong suddenly raised his head, his gaze lingering on my face for a few seconds, and then turned back.

The old man also raised his head following our footsteps, he stared at me deadly, but said to Zhang Jingchi: "Didn't I say that you will come back alone?" Why do you have to bring some idlers here? ”

Zhang Jingchi still pulled me forward, he quickly pulled out a chair for me to sit down, and then he sat down next to me, he looked at the face of the old man Xu, and he said slowly: "Grandpa, I have communicated with you on the phone last night, that's right, I talked to Li Cheng, and now she is my wife who is marrying Ming Media, and she is also your granddaughter-in-law, she is not an idler in this family." ”

As soon as Zhang Jingchi's words fell, the old man slapped the table with his palm, and he turned at Zhang Jingchi, and his voice suddenly raised eight degrees: "You are fooling around!" ”

My ears were buzzing with the strong impact he made from slapping the table, and my hands unconsciously squeezed Zhang Jingchi's hand under the table.

Responding to me with gravity, Zhang Jingchi still said calmly: "Grandpa, I have reached the age of marriage, I don't think I am fooling around marrying the person I want to spend my life with." ”

Zhang Jingchi said before that in this family, basically no one dares to disobey the old man, and it is probably the first time for him to do it with him like this now.

The old man's face turned blue all of a sudden, the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, and he turned to Xu Yanfang, who was sitting opposite us and had been silent, and said fiercely: "Look what kind of son you have taught!" Not only has I been willing to be close to that wretch since I was a child, but I am also unwilling to have the surname of the Xu family, but now my wings are hard, and I actually talk back to me like this for a woman! Look at what you've taught! ”

What surprised me was that the old witch who looked like a powerful man before, was reprimanded by the old man like this, she was like a steaming bun, she didn't dare to come out, and the kind of careful entanglement on her face, I felt like she was a different person.

And just when the atmosphere seemed to be out of control, Xu Zhiyong, who was sitting beside the old man and watching all this lightly, slowly spoke, he patted the old man's shoulder with his hand very warmly, and his voice carried a warm feeling that made people feel like a spring breeze that was extremely unfamiliar to me: "Grandpa, don't be too excited, it's not good for your health." ”

Old man Xu spoke to Xu Zhiyong, and his tone was obviously a lot gentler, he said: "I can't be excited, this family is so troubled, big and small are going to rebel, they don't take me as an old man in their eyes, and they specially bring some messy women to dangle in front of my eyes." ”

Of course, I understood that the messy woman the old man was talking about was me.

If someone else said this, then I would definitely be afraid that the world would choke back now.

But thinking about Zhang Jingchi, who has suffered so many grievances in my family, he still treats my family politely for my sake, or I should be silent at this time.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchi held my hand with weight, he turned his face to look at the old man, and he said slowly: "Grandpa, I have really respected you in my heart since I was a child, and this time I will hide from my family to get married, because I am very sure that the woman sitting next to me now is the person I want to marry." She's not a messy woman, she's my wife, my lover, and she's the best girl I've ever met. And it was such a good girl, but she was excluded and misunderstood by my family, and she didn't get any fair treatment here in my family, and because I suffered a lot. She has given me so much, and if I can't even give her a marriage, then what face do I have to claim to be a man? ”

The atmosphere was even more tense because of Zhang Jingchi's loud words, but Zhang Jingchi still held my hand tightly, he continued to look at the old man with an angry face, his eyes were full of things that I couldn't see, he continued: "I know that I am secretly getting married from my family, and this matter is my fault." But I don't want to make any more extraneous complications, Grandpa you should understand what I mean. ”

Old man Xu's face completely turned into iron blue, he continued to slap the dining table with his palm, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at me, and his voice was even higher: "I will never admit that this woman is my granddaughter-in-law!" If I want you to forgive you for your presumptuous assertion this time, you can go and divorce her immediately! Divorce! ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up with a bang, and didn't even look at us anymore, he walked in the direction of the corridor, and continued to leave the next sentence: "I'll give you two days, if you don't divorce this messy woman, then our Xu family will never welcome you again!" ”

At this moment, Xu Yanfang, who had been sitting opposite in silence, also stood up, she quickly walked to the old man's side, she quickly held the old man's arm and said softly: "Dad, if you have something to say, don't scare the child too much." ”

Shaking off Xu Yanfang's hand fiercely, Old Man Xu stared at Xu Yanfang with wide eyes, and said loudly: "This is the good son you taught!" He is so bold and disobedient that he has ascended to the sky, where can I, a bad old man, scare him! ”

is different from my previous understanding of Xu Yanfang, being reprimanded like this again by the old man, Xu Yanfang still continued to persuade in a good voice: "Dad, don't be so excited, it's not good for your health." ”

Unexpectedly, her good voice and anger were exchanged for greater anger from the old man.

What made me stumble was that in a hurry, the old man quickly raised his hand and slammed it on Xu Yanfang's face.

After the crisp slap echo dissipated, Xu Yanfang stood there covering her face, but didn't say a word.

The beaten person was so cowardly, but the beaten person was still arrogant, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Yanfang and opened his mouth and shouted: "If you hadn't insisted on going your own way, in order to let me agree to you marrying that poor ghost, you actually dared to hide that I was pregnant before marriage, and forced me to let that poor ghost join our Xu family, and now our Xu family will not be so chicken-flying!" All the faults are your fault! You also indirectly pissed your mother to death! Who are you, the sinner of the family, to speak for your unsuccessful son? He's just spoiled and lawless by your unrighteous husband! Dare to secretly get married behind my back! It's really crooked on the top beam and crooked on the bottom! Such a disobedient descendant, if he doesn't listen to me this time, I will cut off relations with him, and I will make him completely unable to get involved! I'm going to starve him to death, how embarrassed the streets will be! ”

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and Zhang Jingchi's hand holding me loosened slightly.

I think that even if he doesn't have any feelings with Xu Yanfang, he will be moved when he sees his mother being beaten and scolded because of herself.

Just when I was stunned, Zhang Jingchi suddenly let go of my hand, he quickly sat up and ran over, protecting Xu Yanfang behind him, his eyes were full of undercurrent entanglements that I couldn't understand, he looked at the old man and said slowly: "Grandpa, I am the one who did the wrong thing, don't scold my mother, she doesn't know." ”

As soon as Zhang Jingchi's words landed, I heard one whimper after another, I turned my head to look, only to see Xu Yanfang, who usually had a cold face, with tears on her face, she reached out to cover her mouth, and after a while, she let go of her hand, and took the old man's arm, she said: "Dad, I have been working hard for the family all these years, I have never listened to your command to do things, I dare not go west if you let me go east, I never dare to sit down when you let me stand, I dare not have any mistakes, because I feel that I am guilty, Whatever I can do for this family, I will try to do 100 percent. Because of the guilt, I think I ruined our family, I was angry with my mother, and I made you old without a companion, so I didn't dare to let myself enjoy your family more than you, and I even had to pretend to show my son when I went to see him. Dad, I have lost my daughter and husband for this family, I have lost two of my dearest family members, I even didn't dare to shed tears wantonly at Zhengyuan's funeral because of taboo your feelings, I didn't dare to shed tears at the funeral of the man I have loved for decades, I can only close the door and cry secretly, I have paid the price for my stupidity and naivety back then. I never begged you all these years to torture me by bringing up the old things again, because I felt that I deserved it. But today I beg you, this time you can go along with the race, let him make some of his own choices, so that he can live some normal life, just when I beg you, Dad. ”

In Xu Yanfang's intermittent sobbing, the old man hesitated slightly, but finally shook off her hand, he glared at Zhang Jingchi and said coldly: "You, follow me to the study!" ”

Zhang Jingchi looked around, and he finally met my gaze.

I was afraid that his stubbornness would make it even more out of control, so I motioned for him to go first.

Zhang Jingchi quickly followed the old man into the study.

In the entire huge space, only me, Xu Zhiyong and Xu Yanfang were left.

Xu Zhiyong quickly walked to Xu Yanfang's side, and he said, "Mom, don't cry yet, you sit down and calm down first." Ah Gong just said angry words, he wouldn't do anything to his grandson. ”

Xu Yanfang quickly grabbed Xu Zhiyong's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, she said: "Zhiyong, go over and take a look, you must help your mother hold the race, don't let him clash with Ah Gong." ”

Xu Zhiyong nodded quickly, and he quickly ran in the direction of the study.

After only me and Xu Yanfang were left, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face, she grinned self-deprecatingly, she looked at me, and said slowly: "You think this family is ridiculous, right?" ”
