Landlady who likes to hoard land

After getting stools, adding bowls and chopsticks, and bustling around for a while, the family of four sat down at the dining table.

Xu Jianren first picked up a chicken leg for Xu Wen, then another for Xu Yao, and then a chicken wing for Wang Chengyu. Then, without any hesitation, he picked up a large piece of fish belly and put it in his own bowl.

He also remembered to greet the others.

"Grandpa and Grandma, brother and sister-in-law, we won't stand on ceremony. Please eat up. Oh, Grandma's cooking is so delicious. Please have more."

Wang Chengyu was so embarrassed that he almost dug a two-bedroom apartment out of his toes.

Xu Chenhui and his family of six watched Xu Jianren wolf down his food, completely bewildered.

"Uncle, why didn't you go to my second grandfather's house for New Year's Eve dinner?"

It was Xu Jianshe's youngest son who asked the question.

He was the same age as Xu Wen, and he found it quite amusing to watch Xu Jianren wolfing down his food. He asked this not because he didn't welcome them, but purely out of curiosity. After all, he had known since he could remember that his family would gather together for New Year's Eve dinner.

"Xu Wen's mom, what's going on? Did your in-laws not cook?"

Xu Chenhui also wanted to know the answer to this question. He glanced at Xu Jianren, who was eating happily, and then turned to ask Wang Chengyu, who was standing next to him.

When Xu Jianren heard his uncle ask him a question, he immediately put down his chopsticks, and tears streamed down his face.

"Grandpa, our family of four was kicked out."

You and my aunt persuaded me many times before, and I only came back for the New Year because of you. Who knew that my parents didn't welcome us at all...

Xu Jianren cried his eyes out, and Wang Chengyu was once again stunned by Xu Jianren's acting skills. What had he discovered? He was such a good actor; it was as if he had become a completely different person.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could your parents not want you to come back?"

Xu Chenhui didn't believe it. What parent wouldn't want to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren for New Year's Eve dinner? They've worked hard all year just for this day.

He knew Xu Jianren was talking nonsense, so he began to rebuke him.

"Grandpa, Grandma, if you don't believe me, come to my house now and see for yourselves. My mom just cooked a cabbage for us."

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and a family of six is ​​only eating one cabbage? Sir, even the dog in your yard gets better food today.

Do you know why my mom only cooked one cabbage? She said that my sister and her younger sister's families had eaten a lot of meat and fish when they came yesterday, which means it's New Year's Eve, so today we're eating vegetarian. Tell me, what do you think they mean by that? Isn't this just them kicking us out?

They celebrate Lunar New Year's Eve, so what about our family of four?

Uncle, Aunt, you be the judge. How can parents act like this? Brother, sister-in-law, you listen to me too. Is what my parents did right or wrong?

I had no other choice but to bring my wife and kids to your house for a meal. I felt embarrassed to eat at the village secretary's house, but I couldn't let my wife and kids go hungry because of me during the New Year.

Xu Chenhui's lips twitched as he listened. "You still want to eat at the village secretary's house? You really aren't ashamed. You wish the whole village knew you were kicked out."

At this moment, he secretly rejoiced that the family of four had come to his house; otherwise, the whole village would know about their messy affair tomorrow.

Xu Jianren spoke while crying, occasionally serving food to Wang Chengyu and his two sons.

After he finished speaking, he had almost finished eating.

He wiped his mouth and continued.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I won't come back for holidays anymore. I'm too pitiful. There's no one in the whole village who's worse off than me."

Please don't try to persuade me anymore. Thank you for your hospitality today. I'll repay you another time. My family and I won't keep you from having a meal.

"Cheng Yu, Xu Wen, Xu Yao, are you full? Let's go home!"

Wang Chengyu had no appetite and barely ate anything; he was full just from watching the play.

Xu Wen and Xu Yao quickly finished the food in their bowls. Xu Jianren kept putting food on their plates, but they were so busy eating that they were already full.

Upon hearing Xu Jianren's question, they quickly finished eating the leftovers, stood up, and said in unison.

"I am full"

"Grandpa and Grandma, brother and sister-in-law, thank you for your hospitality today so we didn't go hungry on our way back to Heitu Village. We'll head back now."

Xu Chenhui suddenly felt a pang of sadness; these days, which family can't afford a meal?

Xu Jianren and his family of four came and went in a hurry, taking less than half an hour from arrival to departure.

Xu Chenhui and his family of six were speechless as they watched half of the delicious food on the table disappear.

"Dad, is what Jianren said true? Are my uncle and aunt really that biased?" Xu Chenhui's son, Xu Jianshe, asked while eating.

He couldn't refuse to eat; his two sons were already grown up, and there wasn't much good food left on the table, so they were fighting over it with him.

"I'm going to visit your uncle. Please leave some vegetables for me."

Xu Chenhui got up, put on his coat, and strolled over to Xu Chenxing's house.

Xu Chenhui's house is very close to Xu Chenxing's house, only a five-minute walk away.

As he entered, he passed by the kitchen and took a look around. Hmm, the remaining cabbage stalks were still on the cutting board, but there was no sign of any other vegetables.

He walked into the main room with his hands behind his back, and before he even entered, he heard Xu Chenxing and his wife arguing.

No wonder I didn't even hear him come in.

Pushing open the door, I immediately saw the bowl of stewed cabbage and tofu that Xu Jianren had mentioned lying broken into pieces on the floor, with no other dishes on the table.

It seems Xu Jianren wasn't lying today.

"Brother, what brings you here? Please sit here."

Xu Chenxing was quite surprised to see Xu Chenhui arrive. He quickly got up and asked his brother to sit down on the sofa, then yelled at his mother.

"Why aren't you getting ready? I'm going to clean up after you!"

Xu's mother lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and went to clean up the mess on the floor.

"Jianren and his family of four had their New Year's Eve dinner at my place!" Xu Chenhui said as soon as he sat down.

"That bastard is too much. Why would he bring his whole family to bother you and your sister-in-law during the New Year?"

Xu Chenxing was extremely embarrassed and angry. After all, he usually cultivated an image of loving his children and grandchildren in public, but Xu Jianren's actions today had completely humiliated him.

Xu Chenhui glanced sideways at his muddle-headed younger brother and said without any politeness.

"Why did you come to my house? Don't you know that you don't welcome me when I come to your house?!"

You should be glad he brought his whole family to my house. He even said he wanted to eat at the Party Secretary's house. If he had actually eaten there, I wonder how you would ever have the face to show your face in the village again.

"Xu Chenxing, why have you become more and more confused these past two years? If you want to control your son's family, you can't just suppress them."

You've been so domineering for so many years, it's time to rein it in. Your children are all grown up, and your two grandsons are quite grown too. You can't just keep your own power and let your grandsons look down on your son!

Jianren has a reputation to maintain; he wants to have a good image in front of his children. How can you be so selfish!

Why can't you treat your son the same way you treat your daughter? You're not short of money, why treat the same children differently?

"Isn't Jianren your biological son or grandson? How could you be so confused?"
