Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng

The topic then naturally turned to their engagement.

The atmosphere was originally very harmonious, and it was convenient to hold the engagement banquet in a hotel. There was nothing particularly tedious that required the family to do, just some manual work. Han's mother took it all on herself and did not let Han Chunming and Guan Xiaoguan spend money on it.

These things symbolize the parents' earnest expectations for their children, so Han Chunming fulfilled his mother's wish since the things were not many anyway.

But Li Li's next words brought the lively atmosphere to a sudden downturn.

"Xiao Guan, I'm not picking on you. It's your parents who did the wrong thing. They didn't show up for such an important event as their children's wedding. If this gets out, what will other people think? The Han family..."

"Big brother's wife, I want to eat some pickles. Please go to the kitchen and get some for me."

Han's mother interrupted Li Li's words, with the intention of asking her to stop talking and go to the kitchen to get some pickles, so as to change the subject. But she refused to do so, especially because she felt that Han's mother was partial to her younger daughter-in-law, which made her furious.

"What are you eating? Didn't you hear mom say you wanted some pickles? Go to the kitchen and get them. You have no tact at all.

What can you do? You only earn such a small salary every month, and you can't even stand up straight; you are dumb and can't speak, and you don't pay enough attention to the little you can do. I really want to be kicked out of the family!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Han family frowned.

Everyone was not stupid, so they could naturally hear the hidden meaning in her words. She was making an indirect accusation, saying that Han Chunsong, as the eldest child, was not good at speaking, did not know how to please Han's mother, was not as pleasing to Han's mother as Han Chunming, and was not as good at making money as Guan Xiaoguan, who was rich and had a strong backbone, and everyone had to accommodate her when she came to her house for dinner.

Guan Xiaoguan's face darkened, but Han Chunming had told her before that no matter what happened at home today, she just had to nod and smile.

Otherwise she would have fallen into a trap.

Before she even got married, she was already going against her eldest sister-in-law and had no manners at all. When this reputation got out, even if Guan Xiaoguan didn't care, Han's mother still had to live in the courtyard, and she couldn't tolerate other people's gossip.

Therefore, the best solution is to ignore the challenge and pretend not to understand.

Han Chunsong is good in every way except that he is afraid of his wife, and he cannot change that. Even when he was scolded by his wife in front of his family, he was still ready to happily get up and go to the kitchen to get the pickles. Han's mother shook her head helplessly.

How could I give birth to such a henpecked son?

"Brother, don't move. I'll go."

Han Chunming immediately stood up and went straight into the kitchen to get the pickles.

Li Li can trample on Han Chunsong's face, but Han Chunming cannot, because the eldest brother is like a father, and if they sit and watch Han Chunsong lose face today, it would be like letting the entire Han family's face be trampled on by Li Li.

He doesn't allow it.

"Xiao Wuzi is still diligent. Unlike your elder brother, he only moves once the whip is cracked and has no foresight at all." Li Li said with a smile.

Han Chunming put down the pickles and said calmly:

"It's okay. Honoring my mother is what we children should do. Today, I am the closest to the kitchen. If someone else were sitting in this position, my mother would say a word and everyone would go and serve the pickles without thinking, because everyone is filial.

Of course, I'm not saying that you are unfilial to mom, sister-in-law, it's mainly because you are too far away, I believe you are also thinking about our mom in your heart, right?"

"Haha, yes, of course my mother is in my heart." Li Li said with a wry smile.

Han Chunming's words clearly meant that she was unfilial and pretentious, but she couldn't get angry. She felt so unhappy.

Seeing that Han Chunming had the upper hand, Guan Xiaoguan explained to Han's mother:

"Auntie, my parents are doing this because..."

"Xiao Guan, I understand. How can parents not care about their children's lifelong affairs? If they can come back, why wouldn't they come back? It's okay. I understand. Just tell your parents not to worry. No one will find fault with you.

Besides, with your grandfather here, who can say anything?"

Once the matter is settled, it is officially over. Anyone who brings it up again in the future will be just gossiping.

Li Li knew that these words were directed at her, so she reached out and pinched Han Chunsong hard, venting all her anger on him.

The dinner ended in a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere. After seeing off his brothers and sisters, Han Chunming slept at home today. Guan Xiaoguan also returned to Guan's home. Han's mother was so happy about the silver bracelets given by her new daughter-in-law that she planned to wear them to show off in the courtyard tomorrow.

"Xiao Xing, find some time to go back and bring Xiao Zao over to take care of Grandpa Guan. I'll pay her this amount every month, and her food and lodging will be covered."

Han Chunming raised a finger, and Meng Xiaoxing immediately exclaimed, this salary is higher than that of a waiter in a restaurant, and it only involves taking care of an elderly person, with food and lodging provided, only a fool would not do this.

"No problem, Brother Wuzi. I'll go back to the village this weekend and pick Xiaozao up. But where will she live? Should she live in the same room with me?"

Han Chunming pointed outside the house.

"Xiao Guan will clean up the house in Grandpa Guan's yard, and Xiao Zao will live in that house then."

Speaking of moving, Han Chunming took the opportunity to ask his mother: "Mom, why don't you move in with us? There are plenty of houses there."

Hearing this, Han's mother immediately shook her head and said she would not go no matter what.

"I know you are filial and want me to enjoy a good life, but I have lived in this house for so many years and have developed feelings for it. There are so many neighbors here, how can I let it go?

When you get married, come back to see me more often, and I’ll be satisfied.”

Well, Han Chunming could only give up this idea and turn to look at Meng Xiaoxing again.

"What's the situation with the landlord's family you mentioned last time?"

This was the last time when Han Chunming brought back a pair of armchairs. Meng Xiaoxing said that she had seen similar ones at the home of landlord Wu in the village. He had something important to do at the time, and now he suddenly remembered this matter, so naturally he had to ask about it.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Before the land was divided, their family was a big landlord. A lot of the land in the village belonged to them. Later, they fell into poverty, but there are still many things left in the family. I saw a lot of furniture before, which is similar to what you brought back last time."

Meng Xiaoxing didn't say that there were still many bottles and jars that were destroyed when the villagers fought against the local tyrants, otherwise Han Chunming would have been heartbroken.

"Is that so? I'll drive you back home this weekend, and we can visit Landlord Wu's house while we're at it. Then we can come back together."

"Well, no problem. I'll go with you. My name, Meng Xiaoxing, is more powerful than money in this village!"

Han Chunming absolutely believed this, after all, he had been extorted of a new bicycle by Meng Xiaoxing before.

A real dark history!
