"Fifth brother, you can't agree to this. You are grandpa's most valued grandson and you have a bright future. How can you be someone else's son-in-law?"
The person who walked in the door was Huo Jianbin, and it was the person in front of him who said these words righteously.
The middle-aged woman next to her stared at Shen An'an sharply.
"You are Dr. Shen's daughter, right? I understand how you feel, but you can't use our repayment as a means of blackmail. Our Huo family will not agree to this."
Looking at Shen An'an in a condescending manner, it was obvious that she felt that her words could make the orphan girl in front of her retreat.
She and her son came over just after getting the news.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen An'an had obtained Dr. Shen's true biography, she wouldn't have bothered to let her son condescend to come here to please an orphan girl.
Huo Jianbin hurriedly and quietly pulled on his mother's sleeve, took a step forward with a warm smile on his face.
Originally, he was only four years older than Shen Anan. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and a Chinese tunic suit. Overall, he was very popular with girls.
"You are Shen An'an, right? My name is Huo Jianbin. My dad is the old man's third son. Seriously speaking, the old man and your father have an engagement, maybe I can be a competitor.
If my fifth brother cannot agree to your request, please spare my fifth brother. If it doesn't work, I can throw this filial piety basin. "
He looked like he was standing up for his fifth brother, but there was something fishy about his words. Once he threw the filial piety basin, he would become Huo Jianbin and become the son-in-law of the Shen family.
"Jianbin, get out of the way! This matter is my business. Since I have agreed to marry Shen An'an, there is nothing wrong with doing this for my father-in-law. This is my own business, so don't interfere casually."
Huo Chengan took a step forward.
There was a strange firmness and seriousness in his tone.
Huo Jianbin only wanted to scold his mother, but the expression on his face had to be that of a younger brother who was thinking about his elder brother.
"Fifth brother, I can ignore you in other matters. But you can't make this decision casually!
Will grandpa agree? Will the second uncle agree? "
He was afraid that Huo Chengan would ruin his important affairs.
He quickly turned around and looked at his second uncle.
Huo Qian coughed, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
Even if he was reluctant, he couldn't say this in front of Dr. Shen's daughter at this time. People like them want to lose face.
"I respect your fifth brother's decision."
He would discuss this matter with his son in private.
"Since you are here, I will arrange for you to live in a neighbor's house first."
Zhang Xiuying was a rural woman who had never seen much of the world. She was a little overwhelmed by the sudden addition of so many impressive city dwellers to her family.
But as the master, she should still arrange for these people.
Facing the Huo family in front of her, Zhang Xiuying was naturally full of affection.
After all, the appearance of the Huo family made her realize that maybe there was another path for the mother and daughter to take.
It doesn't matter what happens to me, but my daughter is different from me. My husband is full of expectations for his daughter.
The daughter can leave the village as long as she follows the Huo family.
What made Zhang Xiuying feel even more grateful was that the two young men of the Huo family were rushing to marry their daughter.
In any case, these two people are qualified candidates for her son-in-law in her mind.
Based on the possibility of becoming an in-law with the Huo family, Zhang Xiuying naturally wanted to show her enthusiasm as an in-law.
"Okay, let's stay here first and finish Uncle Shen's funeral first, and then we'll talk about it."
Huo Chengan took the initiative to say this. He was not giving up, he just didn't want Shen Anan to face so many things all of a sudden and it would be a bit confusing.
The country girl suddenly encountered so many emergencies, and she must be in a hurry. He didn't want the appearance of the Huo family to complicate the Shen family's affairs.
Zhang Xiuying took Huo's mother and Huo Jianbin towards a house next to her.
"In our rural area, if the conditions are not good, you just make do with it."
I heard that you have to borrow a house to live in. These days, if guests cannot live in the house, they will go to a neighbor's house to live in it.
This kind of thing is common in the village.
Aunt Xu next to her is a nice and enthusiastic person, especially because she has been favored by Dr. Shen En, so she naturally takes more care of their orphans and widowed mothers.
He also specially vacated his daughter's room for them.
"This is my Xiulan's room, you can stay in this one."
My daughter's room is in their yard, and it is considered a good room.
Mother Huo looked disgusted when she walked into the room. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and covered her nose.
"Oh, what does this smell like?"
"This is a place where people live. It's so dark and dirty."
These words immediately made Aunt Xu's face darken.
"You city people are really rich. If you don't want to live here, you can live wherever you want. I don't welcome such people here."
"We are not surprised that you live here."
Mother Huo jumped when she heard this.
"You, a country boy, are really incompetent. Do you think you can talk like that?"
"How can I speak? I am still a city person. Is this the virtue of city people?
It is not good to dislike someone else's master in front of his master.
I think you city dwellers are just like that.
Nothing noble. "
"How can you speak?
I'm telling the truth. Your house is shabby, dirty, and smells so bad. Who would want to live in it?
No beggars live here. "
These words completely angered Aunt Xu, she took off her apron from her waist, threw it hard and said,
"What a coincidence, beggars don't live here, so get out of here.
This is my home, and I'm not happy for you to live here, so as not to dirty my house. "
Zhang Xiuying had no time to say anything to smooth things over, and things got out of hand.
"Just leave, you think I care less about living here with you, son, let's go."
Huo's mother turned around and left with Huo Jianbin.
Huo Jianbin said to Zhang Xiuying apologetically.
"Auntie, my mother has such a temper. Don't take it to heart and don't argue with her. I am here to apologize to you on her behalf."
"You're not a bad young man. At least you can speak human language. That mother of yours is like a dog who can't spit out ivory."
Aunt Xu and Zhang Xiuying had a good impression of Huo Jianbin in front of them.
The main thing is that this young man is polite and sensible.
"Jianbin, why don't you leave quickly? What nonsense are you talking to those people about?"
Huo Jianbin bowed to Zhang Xiuying and Aunt Xu with a look of embarrassment, turned and left.
Zhang Xiuying hurriedly apologized to Aunt Xu.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
"This has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing to me? The people in the city look down on others. Okay, it's not easy for you two, so go back quickly."
Aunt Xu is reasonable.
