Chapter 2: Seventy Birthdays
This boring status of a family cook, as well as the aggrieved sexless married life, tormented me for three years.
Frankly speaking, I have had enough of the Xiao family, from the old lady Xiao to the children of the grandchildren of the Xiao family, they all regard me as a waste, look down on me, and even scold me to my face for eating soft rice.
But there is only one person who always stands by my side when I am attacked by a group and tries his best to defend me.
She is my sister-in-law, Xiao Muwan.
Xiao Muwan is four years younger than Xiao Yihuan, and the granddaughters of the Xiao family are the youngest, and Xiao Yihuan is the elder.
She looks extremely handsome, her face is a standard melon seed face, with a pair of artist-sculpted double eyelids, and after wearing a skirt, she looks pure and beautiful, looking like a goddess who came out of a comic.
It is no exaggeration to say that with Xiao Muwan's prosperous appearance, it is not an exaggeration for suitors to circle the earth for three and a half weeks.
But the reality is very different from what I imagined.
Not only does she not have a suitor by her side, but she doesn't even have a female friend.
Not only that, but the entire Xiao family avoided her like a snake and scorpion, except for the parents who gave birth to her and raised her.
I also heard from hearsay, I heard that she was suffering from a strange disease, and every time she had menstruation, she was in pain, and she often passed out.
Of course, this is not the root cause of her isolation from the Xiao family.
On top of that, she sleepwalks every other week, which is very weird.
After visiting many famous doctors and all of them died of illness, the Xiao family simply gave up treatment for her.
Ever since the Xiao family knew that she had a quirk of sleepwalking, no one dared to approach her again.
And I'm the only one who isn't afraid of death.
Although I didn't get sick, I vaguely saw my shadow on Xiao Muwan's body.
I'm in the same situation as her, I don't invite Xiao's family to see me.
is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet.
In this way, I formed an alliance with my beautiful sister-in-law and became good friends.
......
Three years later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, inside the Xiao family's mansion.
Today is Mrs. Xiao's 70th birthday, and the Xiao family gathered together and came to celebrate Mrs. Xiao's birthday.
"Grandma, this is a gold silk satin from the Western Regions, with high appearance and soft touch, I spent 500,000 yuan to buy it, I hope you will like it."
"Grandma, this is a treasure I specially bought from a Tibetan friend, a golden Buddha of Maitreya, worth one million yuan, be careful, I hope you don't dislike it."
The speakers are Xiao Hanyun and Xiao Tingting, Xiao Yihuan's second and third sisters.
"Okay, good, I received your heartfelt grandma, I like it very much."
In the center of the hall, there was an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face, she was the head of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao.
I saw her eyes scan the hall and wonder, "What about Yihuan?" Why isn't she there? ”
Everyone looked at each other, exchanged their heads, and finally all eyes were on me.
I was stunned, and then said nervously: "Yihuan is on a business trip today, so I can't come to celebrate grandma's birthday, and I hope grandma will forgive me." ”
"Hehe, what can be more important than grandma's seventieth birthday, I think the eldest sister just doesn't want to come, right?"
"That's it, if you don't come, forget it, and send you such a wreck, I think she just has bad intentions and disgusts grandma."
Xiao Hanyun and Xiao Tingting went back and forth to complain about Xiao Yihuan's not.
I froze in place, stunned, not sure how to explain it.
Xiao Hanyun's husband Ye Feng walked over to me, with pride and contempt on his face, looked me up and down, and saw that I had nothing in my hand, and then said in a weird manner: "Grandma's seventieth birthday is such an important day, as the grandson-in-law of the Xiao family, you actually came empty-handed, are you here to celebrate grandma's birthday or to be funny?" ”
When the words fell, everyone burst into laughter and pointed at me.
I clenched my fists, my face flushed, and I really wanted to punch him to death.
But he was right, I really didn't bring any gifts, not that I didn't want to give Mrs. Xiao a birthday gift, but that I was penniless, where could I have the money to buy gifts?
I have been a door-to-door son-in-law in the Xiao family for three years, and I have not gone out to work for a day seriously, to put it bluntly, I have been isolated from the world.
Money? Every month, my mother-in-law would symbolically give me 2,000 yuan to buy vegetables, but this was not enough to support me, Xiao Yihuan, and my father-in-law.
It's just that my mother-in-law asked me to have meat for meals and soup for meals, and I had to do it in a different way, and there could be no repetition. For this reason, I had to use my spare time to go out and deliver food part-time.
"That is, a waste like you is also worthy of being the son-in-law of the Xiao family? If I were you, I would have dug a hole in the ground a long time ago, where would I still have the face to stand here and be embarrassed? ”
The person who spoke was Xiao Tingting's husband Land Rover, who was extremely powerful, and whoever was in a high position and had a high position would be stammered.
"I ......"
I looked at him with scarlet eyes, and my teeth seemed to be about to clench, but I still didn't have the courage to refute it.
"Wu Cheng, you waste, have I invited you to my birthday banquet?"
An angry questioning voice sounded, and I looked over to find that Mrs. Xiao was staring at me angrily.
When the words fell, the hall suddenly became invective, how ugly it was.
I stood still, without a place to be, as Land Rover said, just looking for a hole to get into.
"Brother-in-law, don't care what they say, let's go."
Suddenly, a soft voice echoed in the hall, and I looked for prestige, and sure enough, it was my sister-in-law, Xiao Muwan.
I saw her stretch out her jade hand and put on a sweet smile at me.
I was slightly stunned, then grabbed her hand and walked outside the Xiao family's mansion.
"Mu Wan, if you dare to step out of the door of the Xiao family today, you will no longer be my granddaughter, and you will no longer be the Xiao family!"
Mrs. Xiao stretched out her hand and pointed at me and my sister-in-law, and threatened with a cold face.
The sister-in-law replied disdainfully, "Whatever, anyway, I'm not uncommon to be your Xiao family." ”
"You! You! You ......"
Old Mrs. Xiao covered her chest, and her liver hurt.
"Grandma, today is your seventieth birthday, we have to be happy, we can't afford to be angry with such freaks and waste."
Seeing this, Xiao Hanyun hurriedly stepped forward to appease Old Lady Xiao's emotions.
"What a misfortune for the family! Son-in-law hooked up with sister-in-law, the reputation of our Xiao family was completely ruined by your waste! ”
"If Old Man Xiao is alive, he will definitely be angry to death by you!"
There was a continuous sound of abuse in my ears, I was ashamed, and I couldn't help but glance at Xiao Muwan, and found that she actually looked calm, and even had a sense of relief.
Is it a happy thing to be swept away by the family?
My sister-in-law and I walked hand in hand for a while, and suddenly let go of my hand, kindly persuading her to go back, not to have no contact with the family because of me, which is not worth it at all.
Another reason is that I am still Xiao Yihuan's husband now, no matter how I say it, I can't pull and pull with my sister-in-law, even if I know that Xiao Yihuan has no feelings for me, I can't do anything to be sorry for her, after all, she has never done anything sorry for me after three years of marriage.
