One day, Xia Qi told his family that he was bringing his daughter-in-law back today.
Father Xia sat in the main seat, drinking the tea in his cup solemnly. I thought secretly in my heart: My son has lost weight now, tall and handsome. It stands to reason that his own daughter-in-law should not be too ugly. But it doesn't matter if it's ugly.
According to the son, the daughter-in-law here is very considerate to him—the daughter-in-law does the housework, cooks the meals, and even washes the clothes. Now, where else can such a virtuous girl be found
As far as this is concerned, Xia's father also thinks that even if his daughter-in-law is a little ugly, it can be tolerated.
When Xia's mother saw Father Xia's old god-like appearance, she slapped his arm hard with her backhand, and five bright red fingerprints immediately appeared on it: "He will come later, don't be so dead look. Don’t scare other girls.”
His son's marriage has always been on his mind. It was rare for her son to lose weight, and now that she has found her daughter-in-law, she has finally settled down.
"Where is he so delicate?" Papa Xia snorted coldly, put down his teacup, coughed a few times in a self-assured manner, and said deliberately disdainfully.
It's just that when Mother Xia glanced over from the corner of her eye, she saw that Father Xia had put down his upturned Erlang legs, dipped his index finger and thumb in some tea, and smoothed out the locks of hair on his forehead. He also quietly grinned at the tea cup, but that face was used to being serious, and the smile on that face was very stiff.
Xia's mother sneered mercilessly: "Don't pretend, I've seen it all."
Xia's father was exposed, Dang even became furious, and knocked on the table with his hand: "You still don't cook!"
As soon as the voice fell, at this moment, the doorbell rang by chance.
"The meal is already ready." Mama Xia poked Papa Xia's forehead with her slender fingers, "I'll settle the score with you later! My daughter-in-law is here, so I'll open the door for her first." Go briskly to open the door.
Mother Xia opened the door, and the first thing she saw was Shen Jiayan standing at the door. Then he saw Li Xu standing behind Shen Jiayan, half a head taller than him, with handsome features.
Xia's mother couldn't help looking behind the two of them, with an expectant smile on her face: "Qi'er, didn't you say that you brought your daughter-in-law back today to show us? Where are you?"
"Mom." Shen Jiayan stopped after only saying one word, as if he didn't know what to say next.
Mama Xia's heart immediately went "thud-" and the smile on her face forced herself: "Qi'er, is there something she can't come today? It's okay, mom..."
Before Mama Xia finished speaking, Shen Jiayan pulled Li Xu in front of Mama Xia: "Mom, he is my lover, and his name is Li Xu."
And Li Xu also nodded slightly, handed over the gift in his hand, and said respectfully: "Hello, Auntie."
Xia's mother almost fainted from fright. She had heard of this kind of thing before, but she never thought that this kind of thing would happen to her son.
Mother Xia clutched her heart and was speechless for a long time.
And Xia's father just smashed a cup on the ground, splashing countless debris: "Xia Qi, how dare you do such a disgraceful thing!"
After saying this, Xia's father suddenly remembered that Xia Qi had faltered and told him earlier that his daughter-in-law was good in everything except one thing. At that time, he thought that what Xia Qi said was not good, he just meant that his daughter-in-law was a little ugly. And because of this, he was secretly proud: his son is really not a superficial person who judges people by their appearance.
But Dad Xia didn't know until now that this is not good, it refers to his daughter-in-law, who turned out to be a man!
Without even thinking about it, Li Xu turned around and hugged Shen Jiayan, the debris hit his back with great force. But he didn't say a word, just looked at Shen Jiayan with his eyes, frowned and asked, "Aren't you hurt?"
Shen Jiayan shook his head silently, and wanted to see the scars on Li Xu's back. Li Xu held Shen Jiayan's hand, with a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "It's okay, don't worry."
And Xia's father looked at Li Xu's actions just now, and felt a little regretful in his heart. Angry is angry, but if he hurt his son just now, his wife who dotes on his son like his life should have trouble with him again.
Sure enough, in the next second, Mother Xia gave Father Xia a hard look. After a while, Mother Xia sighed, opened the door and said, "If you have anything to say, come in and talk."
The food on the table was still steaming, full of color, aroma, and taste, but none of the four people around the table was in the mood to move their chopsticks.
"Qi'er, mom knows you're just playing for a while, and thinks it's fun to go this way. But mom wants to tell you that love is a lifetime thing. No matter how many families you have, you may not be able to maintain them if you have children; The two boys are still immature." Xia's mother persuaded earnestly, "So mother thinks that you should stop as soon as possible."
Shen Jiayan held Li Xu's hand, smiled wryly and said, "Mom, do you still remember that I was fat since I was a child? At that time, many people would avoid me if they saw me. Some of them called me a fat man , some call me a fat pig. I have never told you these things, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t been hurt because of these words.”
Xia's mother covered her mouth with her hands, and a layer of tears appeared in her eyes.
"But when I was the fattest and most self-abased, Li Xu told me that he liked me. It was also because of his words that I was able to tell myself: Xia Qi, you must become better. Because there are still people who like me. You. Mom, he never turned around and left when I was at my lowest point, how could I be willing to leave him when I got better? "
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Qier..." Mother Xia couldn't stop crying when she thought about what happened to her son all these years.
Shen Jiayan raised his hand to wipe away Mama Xia's tears: "Mom, you have already given me life, so how can you be sorry for me?"
Xia's mother was choked up and unable to speak, Xia's father hugged her into his arms, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
"Mom, think about it, your son doesn't know anything, he doesn't know how to cook, he doesn't know how to wash clothes, and he doesn't bother to do housework. If he comes back after marrying a daughter-in-law, it will be so hard to serve her here and there, isn't it?" Seeing the dignified atmosphere, Shen Jiayan said amusedly.
In a word, Xia's mother broke into tears and laughed, and pressed Shen Jiayan's forehead: "So, you married yourself as a daughter-in-law, didn't you?" As soon as the words came out, Xia's mother was stunned: Strange, why? She subconsciously felt that her son was the daughter-in-law
Finally, the rain has passed and the sky has cleared.
After a meal, Li Xu and Shen Jiayan went back to the room.
"How are you sure that your parents will accept it?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Not sure!" Shen Jiayan rolled lazily on the bed, "But I know that those who love will always choose to compromise first. And they love Xia Qi, they have always loved it!"
"There is one more question." Li Xu said deeply.
"What?" Shen Jiayan looked at Li Xu.
"What does it mean to tell your father that I am a daughter-in-law?" Li Xu rushed forward, "It seems that I should let you know who is the daughter-in-law."
In Li Xu's eyes, the issue of offense and suffering should never be confused.
