Chapter 45: Wishful Thinking
Zhong Yu estimated that Wang Hui was not sure if he did not get a marriage certificate.
Although she has a cub in her belly, this can only protect her for a while.
She knows best what virtues her mother's family has, and if they continue to be insatiable, Song Bingkun may not tolerate it.
The clay figurines are also three points earthy, not to mention the director who manages such a large textile factory.
If the Song family sweeps her out of the house, her mother's family will only continue to be chic with the money, without sympathy for her at all, and her life will be difficult at that time.
Only when she received a marriage certificate and had legal protection could she be more down-to-earth.
Zhong Yu picked up the barley tea on the table, filled the cup in front of the two mothers, picked up a cup and handed it to her mother.
She chuckled and said, "Mom, you drink some tea to cool off first, what's the matter, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhou Qin has always been principled in her life, no matter how much she dislikes a pair of stepchildren, she will not lose her sense of proportion in front of her in-laws.
Silence is golden at this moment, and it is the best portrayal of her.
Old Man Tan chatted with Song Bingkun in full swing, and Zhong Yu finally remembered why Old Lady Tan was not there.
Whispered to Song Congchun beside him, "Where are Rarity and his grandmother?"
Song Congchun found a martial arts book out of nowhere, and the whole person was fascinated, and he even took it with him when he went out to eat.
Zhong Yu asked him, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Zhou Qin glanced at his son unhappily and said softly:
"He's gone crazy now, and it's a shame that he's on summer vacation right now, otherwise I'll have to tear up his book."
Zhou Qin will not take care of the children's reading affairs, when the children first enter school, she will give more company, sit next to them and watch the homework together.
When they reach the third or fourth grade and develop good study habits, they don't interfere much.
During the summer vacation, he indulged even more ruthlessly, Zhong Yu didn't think that watching martial arts was a vice, and it was good to find some spiritual food for himself during the vacation.
Without waiting for anyone to figure it out, Mrs. Tan took Rarity into the box, and the grandparents went out to buy snacks.
Rarity, with a bottle of orange soda in her white little hand, follows behind her grandmother, biting her straw and drinking the soda as she goes.
The sweet soda taste in his mouth made his happy eyebrows and eyes crooked.
Zhong Yu stood up and greeted Mrs. Tan politely, no matter whether she liked it or not, the basic politeness still had to be maintained, and she didn't have any deep hatred with the old man.
Mrs. Tan also smiled kindly and greeted her, in the end, she was relieved that things were not developing according to her expectations.
In good conscience, her son is indeed unworthy.
Rarity was drinking happily, but her eyes lit up at the sound of Zhong Yu's voice.
"Aunt Zhong~ You're here too? Can I sit next to you? ”
Since being discharged from the hospital after the first-stage auricular reconstruction surgery, Rarity has become much more cheerful and confident.
When he got home, he immediately ran to share his new ears with the children.
The children didn't understand what surgery was, but after knowing that he had installed a new ear for himself, they all expressed their admiration.
Even Kiki, the prettiest in kindergarten, is willing to be friends with him.
And it's all because of Aunt Zhong, who Rarity thinks is the little fairy on TV, the fairy who will help him grow ears.
Zhong Yu couldn't resist the favor of the soft cub and waved at him happily.
Rarity grinned and walked over to Zhong Yu to sit in her arms.
He held the orange soda in his small hand and handed it to Zhong Yu's mouth, and said in a milky voice:
"Aunt Zhong, let's share it together~ It's sweet!"
As if to emphasize the authenticity of his words, he nodded his little head vigorously.
Zhong Yu's heart was budding, touched his soft hair, and said softly:
"Auntie has bad teeth and can't drink too sweet soda, can we Rarity baby drink it ourselves?"
Rarity blushes and retracts her hand in embarrassment, biting the straw on, but there's a joy in his eyes.
Mrs. Tan sat opposite and watched them interact, her heart sour.
This stinky boy is rarely close to people because his mother died early and his father is not around.
"You didn't give Grandma a sip of soda just now, but now she actually gives it to Doctor Zhong, the stinky boy has no conscience."
Rarity doesn't answer, and smiles when she looks at her grandmother.
Zhong Yu felt that this child was quite close to her, but he was also willing to be close to him.
I don't know if Song Meiting will treat him well in the future, if there is a need, she is still willing to take care of him a little more.
"If Aunt Tan is willing, just call me Ah Yu, and it's not in the hospital, when you call me Doctor Zhong, I always feel like I'm still at work."
Old Man Tan laughed when he heard this, and said to Old Lady Tan:
"You want to change your words, the two families are going to become relatives, and the title can't be too rusty."
Mrs. Tan nodded in agreement, and Zhong Yu lowered her head and took a sip of water, continuing to tease Rarity, touching her little chin by the way, because her chin was tickled, and Rarity writhed on her.
As soon as Song Meiting pushed open the door, she saw such a harmonious scene, and the smile on her face disappeared suddenly.
She said to Rarity in an affectionate and familiar voice:
"Rarity, come and sit between Daddy and Aunt Song, it's about to eat, your Aunt Zhong won't take care of the children."
Zhong Yu raised his head and looked at the door when he heard this, Song Botao and his wife also arrived, these two pairs looked beaming with joy on their faces, standing together like this, they were quite right.
She pats Rarity's little butt and motions for him to come to Song Meiting's side.
Rarity pouts, visibly not very happy.
Tan Shijie naturally noticed his son's little expression, he had a headache, he was not at home in the future, I was afraid that Song Meiting might not be able to handle him.
He beckons to his son, but Rarity doesn't want to, but he walks over on his short legs.
Touching his son's sweaty hair, Tan Shijie wiped it for him with his hand.
Song Meiting patted the back of his hand lightly, quickly took out the sweat towel from her bag, and wiped Rarity's sweat virtuously, while saying with disgust:
"Men are rough, don't wipe our Rarity dirty with your hands."
After speaking, she deliberately looked at Zhong Yu, I don't know what psychology it was, and said with a smile:
"You don't know, Ayu, we Rarity looks silent, but when we eat, we are picky, you haven't taken care of him, and he will definitely mess you up when he sits next to you."
Zhong Yu nodded indifferently, she held her chin and laughed:
"I don't think anything about Rarity, but you're adapting to your stepmom role pretty quickly?"
The smile on Song Meiting's face was obviously distorted, if there was a better choice, probably no woman would really want to be a stepmother.
Wang Hui pinched Song Botao's arm, and the dull man was finally clever.
He smiled and said loudly: "Dad, I got the certificate with Huihui, look at it."
He took the marriage certificate to Song Bingkun like offering a treasure, and Wang Hui smiled reservedly.
Old Man Tan congratulated in a timely manner: "It seems that Brother Song's family is coming to the door, is this wedding date set?"
Song Bingkun was not happy because his son got married and started a family, and he faintly regretted it when he came into contact with Zhou Qin's indifferent eyes.
However, it was a foregone conclusion, and even if he stopped it, it would be too late.
He smiled awkwardly and said to Old Man Tan:
"It's set for the eighteenth day of August, and then you remember to come and have a glass of wine."
He didn't have the interest to say the extra words, and Old Man Tan nodded happily.
"This cup of wedding wine must be drunk, since everyone is here, let's serve the food and eat."
Tan Shijie immediately stood up and went outside to call the waiter, the box was set in advance, and the dishes were almost done, and soon the waiter rushed in, and after a while, the table was full.
The Tan family is still very sincere in inviting them to dinner this time, at least this table of dishes does not look cheap, and Song Meiting is honored.
The more generous the Tan family is, the more they value her.
Even if she has to take care of Rarity to eat and drink, she has a smug look on her face, as if she is already the young grandmother of the Tan family.
It's a pity that she didn't notice that Mrs. Tan's eyes were full of pickiness and dissatisfaction when she looked at her.
Zhong Yu was contented with chopsticks and ate the dishes he had appetite for, while Zhou Qin was visibly depressed.
Song Congchun nibbled on the ribs without a bite, and his attention was still on.
Old man Tan and Song Bingkun chatted about the marriage of their children, according to the meaning of the Tan family, this time Tan Shijie came back and completed all the important procedures that should be taken to get married, and the others were exempted, and when he returned to the army, he would make a marriage report, so that he could directly hold the wedding next time he came back.
Song Bingkun frowned, and he said hesitantly:
"Isn't this too hasty, they haven't been together for a month, how can this marriage be the same as a war."
Old Man Tan said with a guilty face:
"Brother, you don't know, the nature of Shijie's work is like this, he serves the people, our family can only be more considerate, and the main thing is that he doesn't have so much time to come step by step."
Song Bingkun nodded understandingly, Song Meiting was feeding Rarity, she was so busy that she hadn't eaten a bite of it herself, and Rarity had been pampered by her family due to physical reasons, and she still wouldn't eat by herself.
Although Song Meiting was feeding with her hands, her ears had been paying attention to the conversation between the two elders, and seeing that her father was reluctant, she said a little anxiously:
"Dad, the nature of Brother Shijie's work is different from that of ordinary people, since I want to be a military dependent, I should have a higher consciousness, in my opinion, those red tape saves energy, marriage is a life for two people, as long as we live well, nothing else matters."
Her words made Zhong Yu almost spray rice, these brothers and sisters are really the best, one loves poverty alleviation and the other loves upside down, the old Song family is really talented.
Tan Shijie was moved, and said to Song Bingkun in a timely manner:
"Uncle Song, don't worry, although some processes have been reduced, I will give Mei Ting everything she should have, and when I get married, I will take her and Rarity to live in the residency together, and I will never let her live a life of separation."
What can Song Bingkun say, his daughter is in a hurry to marry someone else, what else can he stop.
Mrs. Tan did not look up to Song Meiting because of her thoughtfulness and understanding, but her eyes were full of contempt.
She smiled meaningfully, and suddenly looked at Wang Hui, who was eating silently with her head bowed.
From the moment he entered the door, Wang Hui didn't speak much except to greet everyone.
Although she and Song Botao have received the certificate, the elders of the Song family have not paid the change of mouth fee, and if the name is not right, she is not good at calling people blindly, so she can only be reserved and not talk casually.
If Tan Shijie and Zhong Yu were together, then Mrs. Tan would naturally be willing to hold her, but I don't know which onion the so-called Song Meiting is, Mrs. Tan doesn't need to think too much about what she says, she blurted out:
"I heard that our daughter-in-law of the Song factory director spent a lot of money to marry home?"
Wang Hui ate for a while, and some didn't quite understand the purpose of the old lady, so she only said vaguely:
"It's the old lady who listened, if the Song family had money, they would have changed to a new house a long time ago, and it wouldn't be that we would still live in Botao's original room when we got married, and there was no decoration."
She looks delicate and cowardly on the outside, but it sets off a bit of the old lady's aggressive and domineering feeling.
Song Meiting was like a two-hundred-and-five, and she opened her mouth to come, "Sister-in-law, don't be dissatisfied, the bride price of 10,000 yuan is all for your parents, how can our family still have money to decorate." ”
Mrs. Tan gasped cooperatively, "Good stop, which family in our Haishi wants such a high dowry for marrying a daughter-in-law, this is all a father's and mother's sticker for his daughter to dowry, few ask for a dowry, but the in-laws give so much dowry to their daughter-in-law, how much dowry are they going to give us Meiting?" ”
When Wang Hui heard the old lady say this, she understood what her purpose was, and she was using her feelings as a springboard.
The old Song family's money was naturally unhappy to give her sister-in-law as a dowry to take Wang Hui away, but she hadn't officially passed the door yet, and her father-in-law didn't want to see her.
Song Meiting really lived up to the old lady's expectations, and came as soon as she opened her mouth to question her father.
"Dad, how much dowry are you going to give me? Do I get a share of the jewelry left behind by my mother's death? ”
Her words successfully made everyone pay attention to Song Bingkun, Zhou Qin sneered, she never knew that the one who died in front of her still left jewelry.
The essence in Wang Hui's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head to prevent others from seeing her expression, but Song Botao was not angry:
"Mom's jewelry is to be heirlooms, it's for the grandson, and the water spilled by the married daughter has nothing to do with you."
Song Meiting snorted coldly, ignored her brother, turned her head and continued to hold her father, stomped her feet dissatisfiedly and said:
"Dad, how much do you want to give me a dowry?"
Song Bingkun felt that he couldn't breathe when this box was hot, he lowered his voice and said unhappily:
"Let's go home about housework, don't forget that you are not a member of the Tan family."
It's not false at all that girls are extroverted, but Song Meiting has never been afraid of Song Bingkun, there are so many people at the table today, she doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't want to be accurate.
"Dad, I don't care, Wang Hui took a bride price of 10,000 yuan, my dowry can't be less than her, the daughter-in-law is someone else's, and the daughter is your own."
Song Congchun couldn't listen to it anymore, even if he didn't want to see his eldest sister, he didn't want to see her continue to make stupid jokes, he said angrily: "How can you get married and divide the family property, you should have my share of it!"
He originally intended to open his mouth to solve the siege, but in Song Bingkun's ears, he asked him for money, and he didn't have a good temperament:
"What are you fooling around, I have the final say in this family, even if you divide the money, it won't be your turn!"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Qin couldn't wait to pounce on him immediately and beat him to death.
However, with so many people watching, she couldn't afford to lose this person.
She could only grit her teeth tightly and try to restrain herself, for fear that she would not be able to hold back and tear Song Bingkun apart.
