Chapter 1: The Humiliation of the Birthday Feast
Haicheng, the Ling family villa, today is the seventieth birthday of Ling Tian, the old man of the Ling family, and the entire Ling family villa is full of people and lively.
"Grandpa, today is your 70th birthday, and my grandchildren wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. ”
In the hall, several young people stood in front of the old man, led by a young man who was as rich as jade, that was the son of Ling Zhidong, the eldest grandson of the Ling family, named Ling Cong, and beside him were the men of the third generation of the Ling family.
Seeing several grandsons standing in a row, Ling Tian was relieved, and said with a smile: "Cong'er, you little brothers have a heart." ”
At this time, Ling Zhidong, who was sitting at the bottom of the old man, opened his mouth and said, "Ling Cong, didn't you say that you prepared a birthday gift for your grandfather, why don't you hurry up and take it out to make your grandfather happy?"
The second elder, Ling Zhinan, also said: "That's it, Ling He, take out the birthday gift you prepared." ”
Not to be outdone, Ling Zhibei said, "Ling Qing, Ling Zhen, you two have to behave well." ”
In the ardent anticipation of several elders, Ling Cong took out a quaint wooden box, opened it carefully, revealing a dark brown round tea brick inside, and said: "Grandpa, you always love to drink tea, this is a century-old Pu'er that I found someone to buy, worth 500,000 yuan." ”
"Okay, take it. ”
Ling Tian said with a laugh.
Ling He of Ling Zhinan's family raised a scroll in his hand and said, "Grandpa, what He'er has prepared for you is the pine crane longevity chart of the old man Baishi, which is worth 700,000 yuan. ”
Ling Qing and Ling Zhen of the Ling Zhibei family are twins, and the two of them are holding a big brocade box, and they said in unison: "Grandpa, what Qing'er and Zhen'er have prepared for you is a set of ivory carved four treasures of the study, worth one million." ”
"Okay, good, all good boys, your heart grandpa received it. ”
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Come on, come on, one big red envelope per person, and the children are also happy." ”
Watching the old man take out a large stack of thick red envelopes and distribute them to his grandchildren one by one, Ling Zhidong suddenly said to Ling Zhixi, the third child who had not spoken: "Third child, these boys have all given birthday gifts to the old man, shouldn't your Ling Xue also express it?"
Don't care about the weight of the gift, the old man hasn't seen anything, isn't the big day just to have a good time?!"
"That's it, third brother. ”
Ling Zhibei also said: "I know that your family's situation is not very good, and I don't expect Ling Xue's girl to prepare a generous birthday gift for the old man, but on a day like today, I don't even have a sentence, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
The two of them sang and harmonized, constantly squeezing Ling Zhixi, who was silent in a wheelchair.
Compared with the high spirits of the Ling family's brothers, Ling Zhixi is undoubtedly much more down-and-out, even if he sits next to the old man, he can only be in the most marginal position.
However, several brothers have said so, if Ling Zhixi remains silent any longer, then he is really not a man.
Turning his wheelchair around, Ling Zhixi beckoned to Ling Xue and Xiao Han in the distance, signaling them to come over.
"Xiao Han, let's go, Dad called us. ”
Pulling Xiao Han, Ling Xue said, "Are you ready for the birthday gift you prepared?"
Don't be ashamed today. ”
Xiao Han bent down and picked up the brocade box at his feet, held it in his arms, and came to the main table with Ling Xue.
"Grandpa, today is your 70th birthday. ”
Taking the brocade box from Xiao Han's hand, Ling Xue said in a playful voice: "Granddaughter Ling Xue and her husband Xiao Han wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."
This is a piece of Zhenshan stone that the granddaughter invited back from Dongyue, the famous Taishan stone dares to be, I wish you to be old and strong. ”
Xiao Han took out a small brocade box and said, "Grandpa, my grandson-in-law has prepared a piece of Rolex for you, I wish you a good day every year, and a good day every year." ”
"Poof!"
As soon as Xiao Han's words were finished, Ling Cong over there couldn't help laughing, and said disdainfully: "It's really interesting, I want to give you a watch for my birthday, why don't you just send a grandfather clock?"
Alas, I said brother-in-law, you can't buy this watch last year, right?"
"Hahaha......"
Ling Cong's words made the little brothers all laugh.
Bought it last year?
Isn't that "I bought a watch last year"?
Although Ling Tian was old, it didn't mean that he didn't understand this stalk, his face drooped on the spot, and the little brother also came back to his senses at this time, and shut up in a sneer.
"Xiao Han, what do you mean?"
The old man didn't get angry on the spot, it doesn't mean that others will have no opinion, the boss Ling Zhidong blushed and roared angrily: "The Ling family has treated you well all these years, and the third child has married you the only pearl in the palm of his hand, what is your intention to make such a show on the old man's big day today?"
Ling Zhibei said even more indifferently: "Third brother, this is the good son-in-law you taught?"
We all know that you have a lot of opinions about the old man over the years, otherwise, if you could have put a good Fang family in the first place, you would have to marry your daughter to you, a crippled adopted son?
I see, your family is here to vent their frustration today. ”
"Boss, fourth, if you have to say that, then I have nothing to say. ”
Ling Zhixi said sullenly: "Anyway, what's going on, everyone has their own opinions."
I also know that in this family, I am superfluous.
In that case, there's nothing left to stay here.
Xiao Han, come over and help Dad push the wheelchair, let's go. ”
"Alas. ”
Xiao Han didn't expect that one of his watches would cause such a turmoil, so he hurriedly came over and pushed Ling Zhixi's wheelchair and limped out of the hall.
Seeing Ling Zhixi leaving, the old man Ling Tian also got up and went upstairs to rest.
"It's all this Xiao Han!"
Ling Cong suddenly gritted his teeth viciously and said to a few cousins, "You can't be so cheap for him!"
Let's go and settle accounts with him!"
"Let's go!"
The little brother walked out of the villa with a few momentum and chased in the direction of the gate of the community.
They knew that Ling Zhixi didn't even have a car at home, and he could only go to the road to take a taxi with a wheelchair, and it was definitely too late to chase after him at this time.
Sure enough, Xiao Han and the others didn't have time to go far before they were stopped by this little brother.
"Ling Cong, what are you going to do?"
Looking at the few juniors blocking in front of him, Ling Zhixi was angry, your fathers bullied Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu endured it, but when will it be your turn to be wild?
"Hehe, third uncle, this matter has nothing to do with you. ”
Ling Cong said with a smile: "We are going to find this lame man surnamed Xiao today to settle the score."
Ling Xue, you'd better push your dad to leave quickly, otherwise, you'll start to do it, in case someone accidentally hurts something, it won't look good. ”
To be honest, in his heart, Ling Cong really didn't take Ling Zhixi's family seriously.
The dignified Ling family was lost face by two cripples, which is really unreasonable!
