Xie Yuejin never expected that his family would show up at this time.
Li Ying stood beside him, planning to say something after Xie Yuejin finished speaking. She was finally proud of herself this time, and even if she could not get out after going in, it did not affect Li Ying's mood at all.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her brother was right. Xie Yuejin's conditions were almost perfect for her.
He has a decent job and his own house. Although his family is not well off, Xie Yuejin has also promised that his parents will never come to take advantage of him.
Li Ying thought, Xie Yuejin has such a good job, if his parents don't come, then shouldn't the benefits belong to their family
Even if he couldn't arrange for her brothers from her mother's side, the little that slipped through his fingers would be enough for them to eat.
It should be said that it was not surprising that Li Ying had such an idea, because every time they had dinner at the restaurant before, Xie Yuejin had never shown any embarrassment or stinginess.
Li Ying's appetite was gradually increased by Xie Yuejin.
The crying voice of the woman at the door attracted the attention of everyone in the hotel.
Li Ying was confused: "Yuejin, who are they?"
Xie Yuejin asked blankly: "Dad and Mom, why are you here?"
Li Ying:!!!
These are Xie Yuejin's parents? !
The woman at the door said pitifully, "Yuejin, our commune has suffered a disaster, and we are starving. If I hadn't come to find you, your father, several brothers and I would have starved to death..."
She seemed to have rarely seen so many people. She shrank back for a moment, but still said with courage: "You, you are getting married today, right? Why didn't you ask me and your father to come? We have been hungry for several days."
Xie Yuejin: "Didn't I ask someone to send the money back to you?"
Xie Yuejin quickly responded. He didn't react at first, but almost in an instant, he understood his current situation.
His eyes were full of fire, but he spoke very quickly: "I ask someone to bring you money every month."
So can you please stop dwelling on the fact that you are starving to death? I didn't see so many people here today! It's like I'm so cold-hearted!
But Xie Yuejin's words did not make his mother realize the deep meaning. She smiled flatteringly: "You ask someone to bring me five dollars every month. What can five dollars do? You can't even support your brothers... I haven't told you yet, Yuejin, I'm pregnant again..."
Xie Yuejin's eyes were full of stars, and the people around him were already whispering about it.
"What's going on? Why did his parents suddenly show up? Didn't this guy invite his mother to his wedding?"
"Didn't you hear me? He said he would give me money every month. Maybe they have already separated the family?"
"His mother looks almost fifty, right? She can still get pregnant at this age? That's amazing!"
"Which commune is Yuejin's family from? They can't be from one downstream..."
"That's what I see! The surrounding communes are having a hard time this year, but I heard that the Lazy Man Commune is the worst off. I heard that people are almost starving to death!"
"Who can be blamed? My brother-in-law's younger brother is a small leader in the commune. He said that the Lazy Man Commune was very bold. When the spring seedlings were damaged, they simply ignored the seedlings in the fields! They survived by eating stored food and waiting for relief food from above!"
"It's getting cold now. I'm afraid they won't be able to get enough food. It will take a while for relief food to arrive. Won't they starve to death?"
"It's a little difficult to deal with this disaster, but they are also incredibly lazy. They managed to stay at home for half a year!"
…
Xie Yuejin's face turned pale as he listened to the discussions of the people around him.
Ever since he got his job in town, he basically never mentioned where he was from.
The Lazy Man's Commune is an existence that makes people here shake their heads when they hear about it.
When Xie Yuejin grew up in the village until he was a teenager, he saw the most old bachelors who could not find wives. The old bachelors brought their young bachelors. In the early years, there were still families in his village who could spend more money to find wives. In other villages, there were also families who did not care about their daughters and were willing to marry their daughters to the village for the sake of the bride price.
But later on, it became impossible. There were fewer and fewer families in the village who could afford the bride price, and basically few women were willing to marry into the family. The men in the village also didn’t want daughters, and when they were born, they would throw them into the mountains or into the water.
After a few years of this, there were basically no girls in his life.
People are poor and lazy.
Their commune was well-known for being poor. Although there were many men, few of them honestly went to work in the fields. In the past few years, they had to rely on relief food for several years.
Relief food was originally given in times of disaster, but they kept pointing to the relief food. The work in the fields was not good either.
When Xie Yuejin was a little more mature, he realized that if he wanted to live a good life, he had to go out.
So he was motivated from a young age, and first went to study in his own commune. He couldn't afford the tuition, so he hid outside the window and eavesdropped. Not long after, the teacher saw him, and the teacher felt sorry for him, so he paid for his tuition.
Therefore, Xie Yuejin entered school. Without paper and pen, he used a small wooden stick to write on the ground. Later, he relied on doing housework for other children in exchange for pencil tips. He also picked up paper that others didn't want, wet it with water, and dried it in the sun. The handwriting on the paper became blurred, so he wrote on top of it.
Xie Yuejin had difficulties in his studies, but when he graduated from elementary school, his teachers were relieved for him.
But Xie Yuejin knew that it was useless to go to senior primary school. Their own brigade was a quagmire and he had to get out!
Xie Yuejin gritted his teeth and took the junior high school entrance exam. After passing, he ran to the city alone. At that time, life was not so tense. There was a small market, so he stole eggs from home and sold them in the small market.
Anyway, he is the one who feeds the chickens at home. His mother does nothing but eating, drinking and giving birth to children, and doesn't take care of anything at home.
Xie Yuejin sold eggs and chickens, and also went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits. The prices were very cheap, but at least he saved up enough money for tuition.
After graduating from junior high school with some difficulty, Xie Yuejin did not continue his studies.
He knew that this was the end of his career. He couldn't afford to continue studying even if he had to sell blood.
Xie Yuejin chose a commune closest to the county town to take the worker exam. After going through a series of exams, he finally got a job in a restaurant.
Since Xie Yuejin settled in Xipo Town, he has never returned.
Later, his mother heard from someone that he had become successful, so she wanted to come and find him.
Xie Yuejin couldn't ask his mother to come, because he knew too well what kind of people his family was like, so he gave his family five dollars every month and asked someone to take it back every month.
Xie Yuejin has lived in peace and quiet until now, and he thinks that he can make some efforts and buy a job in the city in a few years.
By then he will be able to completely get rid of the influence of his family and no longer have to support a family of lazy people.
Marrying Li Ying was part of Xie Yuejin's life plan.
He didn't get a house and now he still rents a house every month. If he marries Li Ying, he can live in Li Ying's house after marriage. First of all, he can save the cost of renting a house.
Li Ying still has a job, and when the time comes, the two of them will save money together, and when they have enough, he can go to the city.
But who would have thought that he had planned so well, but he was caught off guard today.
His mother didn't even say hello and just came with his father and brothers to kill him!
And his mother is pregnant again!
Xie Yuejin listened to the discussions of the people around him and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Li Ying screamed: "Xie Yuejin! What's going on!"
Xie Yuejin quickly explained: "Yingzi, listen to me, I really didn't know my mother and the others were coming today. They will go back soon. I will definitely handle it and won't bother you..."
Li Ying was furious: "You lied to me! Xie Yuejin, you lied to me! You said before that you wouldn't lie to me!"
Xie Yuejin: "I really didn't lie to you, Yingzi. I told you about my family's situation. Isn't it because of the disaster this year?"
Li Ying felt ashamed. Her original intention was to let her relatives see how well she was living. Her mother's story was not pleasant and could not be concealed. Once it got out, these relatives would definitely not look down on her because she had married well.
But now, her big day has turned into a joke.
Li Ying shouted, "I won't get married! I won't get married!"
Xie Yuejin was in a state of panic. His mother and several others were standing outside with their eyes wide open. Not to mention the relatives around him, the waiters and colleagues in the store were all looking in, and occasionally making comments. There was already contempt in their eyes. No matter when, when their son held a big banquet here, it would not be nice for his parents to do anything.
Xie Yuejin knew what these people would say about him just by using his toes.
Heartless, conscienceless, and ungrateful.
Li Ying started to make a fuss again. She cried and shouted that she would not marry. The relatives around her were all her family members. It was not right to stop her, nor was it right not to stop her. It was difficult to persuade her.
How can I persuade her? If they were the man’s relatives, they could persuade her to some extent. After all, they have already obtained the marriage certificate. What’s the point of saying that they don’t want to marry at this time? You can’t divorce her, right
But they are the girl's relatives, and if they persuade them too harshly, it would seem that they are not on the side of their own people.
So the only one who went up to persuade her was Li Ying's fourth sister-in-law.
Li Ying's fourth sister-in-law wiped Li Ying's tears and pushed her onto the stool without saying a word.
Li Ying's brothers looked at each other and thought they were a bit Muggle.
At this juncture, the fourth son of the Li family was still smart.
He came up and grabbed Xie Yuejin by the collar and asked, "Xie Yuejin, are you deliberately trying to embarrass our Li family?"
Xie Yuejin complained: "Uncle, how would I know?"
He really has no idea what to do with this scene!
The fourth son of the Li family: "Humph, you tricked my sister into coming here. Are your parents and their group going to live with you guys from now on?"
Xie Yuejin: "How can that be possible? They will go back soon!"
Xie Yuejin almost raised his hand and swore: "They can't get used to the life in the town. I will arrange for them to go back immediately."
"Yuejin, we are not going back... You don't know, our house is gone too, we can't go back."
While Xie Yuejin was racking his brains to negotiate with his uncle's family, his mother was holding him back.
Xie Yuejin's mother was afraid that she would have to chase her son back home, so she quickly continued, "Our house wasn't in good condition in the spring. It was hit by hail then. Later, we were too busy to take care of it. It rained a few days ago, and it collapsed..."
What do you mean by being too busy to care? It's obvious that you are too lazy to care!
Xie Yuejin almost vomited blood!
It's raining cats and dogs when the roof is leaking!
Li Laosi narrowed his eyes and said, "Xie Yuejin! What are you talking about! Our Yingzi is not in bad condition. She only found you to keep her family clean and free of trouble. You must give us an explanation now!"
When Li Ying heard this, she cried even louder.
Xie Yuejin was caught in the middle, with his parents and younger brothers on one side. Not only were their clothes ragged, but his pregnant mother also splashed black water on him.
On the other side was his uncle who was clamoring for an explanation, fearing that the marriage would be in vain if he did not give the other party a satisfactory result.
Xie Yuejin was so anxious that he was sweating all over.
Wan Guodong had already run away when he saw that things were not going well. He looked at the people in the room and, as he was Xie Yuejin's leader, he was afraid that he would be left behind and be in charge.
What the hell can he do!
It seems that both sides are not easy to deal with. With family affairs involved, whatever he says will offend people.
It’s better to leave first and come back later.
Wan Guodong ran away, and Xie Yuejin was trapped in the middle, squatting on the ground in frustration.
The second son of the Li family yelled, "Yuejin, you have to give us an explanation. Our little sister is getting married, and you are not shameless like this! Besides, our Yingzi is a formal employee after all!"
Li Laosi thought something was wrong and was about to stop Li Laoer when he heard several relatives nearby wondering.
"Is Yingzi a regular employee? What kind of regular employee? Doesn't she have no job?"
"That's right. If her mother could arrange a job for her, she would definitely give priority to her sisters-in-law, right?"
Xie Yuejin felt that his entire life had never been as thrilling as this day.
"What did you say? Li Ying doesn't have a job?"
