My uncles and aunts seemed to be afraid to meet their mother's eyes, and subconsciously avoided the mother's cold gaze.
Only one person is an exception.
"Youlan, you finally came back!"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked very elegant, dressed in a cyan gown, smiling at our father and son, and said: "This is my brother-in-law and nephew! It's been 20 years, but this is your first time here. Youlan, don't you introduce me?"
The mother whispered: "There is nothing to introduce, brother, don't pretend to be concerned, I look sick! I'm back this time, just want to see the second elder, by the way... get back what belongs to me!"
Hearing that, my uncles and aunts' complexions changed slightly, and they subconsciously glanced at the eldest uncle.
The uncle didn't change his face, and said with a light sigh: "In the past few years you have left, a lot of changes have taken place in your family. My parents are also worried about your affairs... Forget it, let's not talk about it, go and see your parents first! "
I feel more and more wrong. I said before that I came to see my relatives, but looking at this posture, my mother's brothers and sisters don't seem to be waiting to see my mother!
I glanced at my father, and his father responded with a wry smile and made a simple gesture to signal everything to listen to his mother.
After entering the mansion, the eldest uncle led the way. Wen Sheng talked to his mother and asked about his mother's life over the years. It was a warm picture of a brother caring about his sister. However, the mother never responded, as if completely ignoring the existence of the uncle.
As for the other uncles and aunts, when we entered the mansion, they left in a hurry, seemingly worried.
Finally, we came to a quiet courtyard in the mansion.
The courtyard door was open, and I saw an old couple sitting in the courtyard under the shade of the trees, looking very leisurely.
"Father, mother, Youlan is back!" Uncle said softly.
Grandfather was thin and seemed very spiritless. When he glanced at his mother, he didn't have the joy of meeting again after a long absence, and he was very calm.
The grandmother looked very excited, her eyes were red, and she trembled and said, "Lan'er, my Lan'er, come over and let my mother have a look, you are so cruel, it will take twenty years to leave..."
The mother walked to the grandma, did not even look at her grandpa, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Mother, isn't the daughter coming back? What happened back then was that the daughter was wrong..."
My father and I are hanging out here, and it feels like we two outsiders are not taken seriously!
"Yuantang!"
Grandpa glanced at me and my father, and said quietly to the uncle: "Throw them both out!"
The uncle made a look of helplessness and let out a long sigh.
The father's eyes were sad, his fists were clenched, his head was lowered, and his body trembled a little.
I raised my brows. The feeling of expectation of seeing my natal relatives had completely disappeared. The beautiful fantasy, accompanied by this sentence from my grandpa, was shattered.
But at this moment, grandma glared sharply and screamed at grandpa: "Bai Miaofeng, are you crazy? That's our grandson and son-in-law, do you want to drive Lan'er away again? "
"Talk more, there is no place for you to talk!"
Grandpa snorted coldly, and said coldly to his uncle: "Why, I can't speak well now, am I?"
The uncle looked embarrassed and said to our father and son warmly: "My father has been a bit angry these past few days, don't worry about it, or else follow me to the mansion first..."
"They're not going anywhere, just stay here!"
My mother suddenly spoke at this time and looked at my uncle coldly, and said, "Brother, I don't bother you to worry about things here. You should go and clean up the Xingdian first! When I take over in a while, I don't want to do anything like clean up, get your people out as soon as possible!"
The uncle's complexion changed slightly. Before he could speak, grandpa yelled: "I'm not dead yet, when is your turn to take charge of this family? From the day you left the house, Xing Dian is not yours anymore. What do you want to do when you come back this time? Seize power? Bai Youlan, have you put my dad in your eyes?"
Grandpa looked very angry. Uncle's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he sighed and said: "Father, you've been calm down, Youlan is back, you should be happy! I'm going to have someone prepare dinner for you!"
With that, the uncle walked out of the courtyard quickly.
To be honest, I don't want to stay here anymore, it's really boring!
In my opinion, the family should be in harmony, but it turned out to be like this, especially the attitude of grandpa, which made me very unbearable.
Once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, and there is no affection in the big family. Perhaps this is the true portrayal!
Just as I was irritated and sighed, the next scene left me stunned for a long time without returning to my senses.
"Oh, the old man's acting skills are good, and he has been honed over the years with great results!"
The mother suddenly changed from the coldness before, and suddenly made a grimace with the grandfather, jokingly ran to him and squeezed his legs and thumped his shoulders, looking very attentive, completely different from what she had just done.
Grandpa also seemed to have changed himself. He lost his previous anger and gave his mother a lazy look. He said angrily: "Don't come to this one. After twenty years, your mother will cry all day long. Like a tearful person, you girl doesn't even think about us. With a sweetheart, even my parents have forgotten?"
"That is, I don't know to come back and take a look all these years!"
Grandma took the call and said complainingly: "Even if you don't come back, you have to report peace, at least let us rest assured. Your father was very angry during the years when you left, and secretly cried a few times..."
"Old lady, be careful when you speak, who is crying, I have sand in my eyes..."
"Fart, I saw it with my own eyes, if there is a fake, you just want face..."
…
Looking at my grandpa and grandma quarreling, and the situation just now is completely different, not only is I flabbergasted, but my father is also sluggish.
what's going on
Can anyone explain it
"Alright, alright, noisy at all ages, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the juniors!"
The mother smiled and waved to my father and me, and then said to grandparents, "This is my husband Zhou Ziye, and this kid is my son Zhou Yan!"
With that, the mother glared at his father and motioned to his father to salute.
The father knelt on the ground very temperamentally and knocked his head a few times, unable to speak, a little embarrassed.
I could only kneel down with my father, and after kowtow a few heads, I called my grandpa and grandma in a daze.
Grandma embraced me affectionately and rubbed my head, her eyes were red and she said something like'This child has suffered, why is she so thin'.
The grandfather looked at his father, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Several kinds of sorcery have been added to the body, and the vitality has been overdrawn. How can they become such a ghost?"
The mother said, "Let’s talk about it later, it’s more complicated. The Lingquan in our house hasn’t been exhausted yet? When I came back this time, I mainly wanted to treat Ziye with Lingquan and see if some medicines could help him recover... "
Upon hearing this, grandma sighed softly, seemingly helpless.
Grandpa snorted and said, "Lingquan was divided up by your brothers and sisters. They were too noisy during your absence! I always thought I was old, and thought I didn't know what they did. I just want to see if they have a bottom line, so I have been pretending to be physically weak all these years..."
"You Lan, it's just right that you came back. After you have taken the Xing Temple, Lingquan will naturally have no big problems! However, after all, they are your brothers and sisters, don't do too much..."
The more I listened to Grandpa's words, the more confused I became, and I felt a little confused and confused.
In the end, it's up to my mother to briefly explain to me and my father.
When my mother left the Bai family, part of the reason was indeed that she was forced away by her grandpa, but grandpa was also for the sake of her mother. At that time, there was a more difficult guy who wanted to propose to his mother. There was an uncle in the matter. The grandfather couldn't refuse directly, so he could only pretend to be angry and force his mother away.
The mother is the father and daughter of the Bai family, and the daughter of the grandfather's most respected. In the words of the grandfather, the mother who has the blood of the ancestral family of the Bai family will be the best candidate for the head of the Bai family.
Originally, grandpa planned to let his mother go out for a period of time. Who knew that this trip would be twenty years.
The uncles took the opportunity to cultivate their confidants during this time and took away some things that originally belonged to their mothers. These grandpas all looked in their eyes and always maintained a conniving attitude.
"I want to see, besides some people of my own clan, are there any foreigners intervening!"
A cold light flashed in my grandfather’s eyes, and said: "Youlan, you will come back without saying hello this time. It is very likely that you will be stunned. None of the people I secretly sent to find your whereabouts in these years can come back alive, I doubt it. …"
"Don't doubt it, my elder brother must have done it!"
The mother said casually: "What about screaming at the grass? Since I am back, I can still let them live in peace? Isn't there a dinner for us tonight? It will be very lively!"
Speaking of this, my mother smiled at me, and the smile shivered inexplicably.
"My dear son, if there are some provocations by the juniors at night, Wei Niang is not very good with those juniors, so you can only rely on yourself... Well, as long as you don't kill a few, injure a few, it's not a big problem!" (End of this chapter)
