"I just had a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice. I can't eat any more now. If you like, eat more. I'll make it for you later."

Lin Ziqiu patted his head gently and said, "After you finish eating, let's go back to the guesthouse."

Tian Xiaofeng was so happy, "Okay!"

The brother and sister sat on a bench. The rest of the people in the kitchen were not there. The dishes were served to them by Huang Bin who came to the banquet.

Not only did he come, but Ruan Qing also came.

Because Tian Xiaofeng had to help in the kitchen, Ruan Qing had to look after him.

When Mr. Huang learned about Yi Weicai's situation, he wanted to send someone else, but was rejected by Huang Bin.

Tian Xiaofeng was there, and he was also an acquaintance. Although Mr. Huang was a little worried, he gave up when he thought that Ruan Qing was with them and Shen Xiu was there, so there should be no problem.

In the main hall of the birthday banquet, most people were still eating.

Ruan Qing had her period, and she had also overeaten the snail noodles, so she had no appetite for several days.

"You eat first, I'll go see Qiu."

Huang Bin knew that she was impatient and was too lazy to go up and pretend to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, so he just went up and gave her the gift money.

"Okay, then be careful and don't get lost."

The Shen family's yard is quite large, and there are doors everywhere, so it is easy for people who are not familiar with it to get lost.

"I'm not stupid." Ruan Qing complained in her heart, but she also had a conscience. She was worried that Huang Bin would be inconvenienced alone, so she ran to say hello to Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu was sitting at the main table. From a distance, she saw Ruan Qing waving at her. She glanced at her mother and whispered, "There's a guest over there. I'll go over there."

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "Go ahead."

After getting the consent, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked under the eaves on the other side of the corridor.

Ruan Qing pulled her arm and said affectionately, "Aunt Shen, I want to go find Aqiu. Can you help me keep an eye on Huang Bin for a while?"

Shen Xiu followed her gaze and said, "Okay, go ahead. I'm here."

"Aunt Shen, I knew you were the best!"

Ruan Qing flattered him and ran towards the kitchen excitedly. She had just seen Tian Xiaofeng walking towards the kitchen when he came to get his lunch box.

Shen Xiu passed by Huang Bin and had a drink with the guests at that table. He patted Huang Bin on the shoulder and said, "This is my godson. Please take good care of him."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"Xiu, your Xiaoyun didn't even come home to celebrate his grandmother's birthday on such an important day! You have to talk to him about this!"

Speaking of her son, Shen Xiu wore a gentle smile on her face. "It can't be helped. Xiaoyun is stationed at the border and can't come back. I've already called his grandmother in advance and sent a birthday gift early."

"If he can't come, then where's your Brigadier General Meng? I didn't see him today!"

"Isn't he afraid that your eldest brother will kick him out?"

"It's been so many years, and Old Meng has climbed from a nobody to his current position. He should understand the ways of the world! No matter how busy he is, the most important thing is to be filial to his elders!"

"If he doesn't want to come, then Xiaoyun won't come either. Like father, like son!"

"You have to talk about them, father and son!"

"How dare Xiu say that to them? Marrying far away is a hard life. Without her family to support her, who would take her seriously?"

The relatives started talking at once, saying all kinds of unpleasant things.

Huang Bin placed his chopsticks on the table and said in a serious tone, "As a soldier, you naturally put your country before your family. If it weren't for the countless soldiers who worked tirelessly and fearlessly, how could you have such a stable life today!"

"As for filial piety, does it mean that all filial piety must be done for others to see?"

Shen Xiu quickly pulled him back, "Xiaobin, stop talking."

Huang Bin's chest was heaving with anger. If he wasn't sitting in this wheelchair, he would have overturned the table long ago.

Even eating can’t stop these people from talking!

As relatives, you may appear to be doing everything for the good of others, but how many of them actually truly wish you the best?

They wish you were unhappy so they can have fun watching you.

This is the true face of some of the worst relatives.

Huang Bin's parents died early, and he was hurt by similar words when he was very young.

They all seemed to feel sorry for him, but secretly they said he was their nemesis.

Some even said that Mr. Huang would be killed by him sooner or later.

So in Huang Bin's inner world, he actually has a very sensitive and inferior side.

He studied hard to be the best.

Later, he was afraid that if he stayed with his grandfather for too long, he might really harm him, so he chose to join the army without hesitation.

Having stayed in the army for many years, he rarely went home even on leave and would only call his grandfather.

Mingming's home is not far away.

Even though he might pass by his house sometimes, he would never go in to take a look.

He was really afraid and didn't dare to gamble.

"What kind of godson are you! You have such a bad temper! No wonder your leg is broken, you must have been beaten to a pulp!"

"Enough!" Shen Xiu was originally thinking about her mother's birthday party. She didn't want to cause any trouble and just hoped to keep things peaceful.

She can bear the grievances.

But Huang Bin can't do it!

His leg! He was injured while trying to save someone!

No one present has the right to laugh at a true hero!

The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough to startle the other guests around.

Almost everyone looked over there.

The eldest sister Shen Wufan also stood up and called out from a distance: "Xiu Xiu, come here."

Old Mrs. Shen's face, which was originally full of smiles, was now covered with a gloom. She frowned and glared at Shen Xiu with dissatisfaction.

Shen Xiu stood there without moving, holding the wine glass tightly in his hand, with a layer of mist in his eyes.

At this time, Song Hui came over and said with a smile, "My aunt can't hold her liquor well. She's a little tipsy now. Come on, I'll drink with you guys!"

The guests are all relatives. The Song family is now doing better than the Shen family, so they will naturally give Song Hui this face.

Besides, after Shen Xiu made such a fuss, her elder brother and sister would definitely teach her a lesson.

Song Hui coaxed several relatives who spoke rudely.

Huang Bin held Shen Xiu's hand and said, "Godmother, don't go!"

Shen Xiu bit her lip. She naturally didn't want to go, but she needed to give an explanation to her mother.

She half squatted down, her voice choked, "Xiaobin, wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

"Godmother!"

Huang Bin reached out to stop her, but to no avail.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Xiu walked towards the main table.

Passersby cast different glances at her. In their opinion, Shen Xiu was the most rebellious one in the Shen family's generation, no doubt about it.

When she was young, she did not listen to her parents' marriage arrangements. She was so bold as to have an affair with a wild man outside. She married far away for many years and did not even see Shen's father for the last time.

Now, on her mother's 80th birthday, not only did her husband and son not show up, but she also publicly defended a disabled person who was not related to her by blood, and got angry and argued with relatives and friends.

It really brought shame to the Shen family.
