After Jiang Xiangyang and Jin Xiangyu greeted all their relatives, they found a seat and sat with several cousins.
"Brother-in-law Jin, what do you do?" Jiang Xiangyang's cousin Jiang Minghui asked curiously.
Brother-in-law? Jin Xiangyu thought this was a good title and replied with a smile: "Like Xiang Yang, I am also a civil servant."
"Really? No wonder, when my brother-in-law stopped there, his whole temperament was different from ours. He turned out to be a civil servant." Jiang Minghui suddenly realized.
"When are you going to get married?" Jiang Minghui continued to ask.
"Ahem..." Jiang Xiangyang glanced at Jin Xiangyu awkwardly and said nothing.
"I listen to Xiang Yang, whenever she says." Jin Xiangyu looked at Jiang Xiangyang tenderly and said seriously.
"Brother-in-law, it's okay to be enlightened." Jiang Minghui said with praise.
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense, we are still early. By the way, why didn't my nephew come over today?" Jiang Xiangyang quickly changed the subject.
Jiang Xiangyang didn't take what Jin Xiangyu just said to heart. How much of what he said on the scene was true or false? Then he whispered to the man next to him: "Don't mind, my sisters just care about me."
"I mean what I said." Jin Xiangyu looked straight at Jiang Xiangyang.
This time it was Jiang Xiangyang's turn to be stunned, seriously? What did Jin Xiangyu say just now? Do you want to do your own thing about getting married? Jiang Xiangyang felt that he could not see through Jin Xiangyu more and more.
Seeing Jiang Xiangyang's dazed look, Jin Xiangyu curled his lips and touched Jiang Xiangyang's head lovingly. Since I followed Jiang Xiangyang back to his hometown this time, I had better find an opportunity to mention some things to Xiang Yang's father.
Jiang Xiangyang watched Jin Xiangyu chatting with everyone. I originally thought that a man like Jin Xiangyu would be unwilling to talk to his relatives, but I didn't expect that Jin Xiangyu was quite enthusiastic.
He listened carefully to what everyone at the table said, and from time to time would say a few words to express his own opinions. Occasionally, he would also say a few compliments, which made Jiang Xiangyang's cousins laugh from ear to ear. The atmosphere at the entire dinner table was extremely harmonious.
Suddenly, there were several arguing sounds from the dining table nearby.
"It's someone's birthday, what are you talking about?" A middle-aged woman pulled her husband, who was blushing from drinking, and looked at everyone at the table awkwardly.
"What can't be said? It's the truth. Aren't you just a civil servant? What's so great about it? Why do I look down on our nephew? It turns out I don't like the statement and I have no power." The man said inarticulately.
The man's voice was not quiet, and the diners put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another. In addition to Jiang Xiangyang's relatives, there are also some neighbors who came today, and there are inevitably some people watching the fun.
Jiang Xiangyang knew this drunk man. Jiang Xiangyang didn't know his first name. He lived near Jiang Xiangyang's home and had a close relationship with Jiang Xiangyang's family. Jiang Xiangyang usually called him Uncle Chen.
"I'm sorry, Chen Tang is drunk. Don't listen to his nonsense." Chen Tang's daughter-in-law Tang Ying looked at her husband who was speaking arrogantly and explained awkwardly.
Tang Ying knew that her husband had been holding a breath in his heart because of his nephew's statement about his previous engagement with Jiang Xiangyang. State that this child is gentle, delicate, and steady, and his family's conditions are also good. But she was almost thirty and still didn't want to get married, which broke the mother's heart.
Chen Tang knew what was on his sister's mind. Although Jiang Xiangyang didn't go home often, Chen Tang still had some impression of this girl. He knew that she had passed the college entrance examination, and later the civil service examination, and was in her late twenties. Although the conditions at home are a bit worse, they are similar to those of my nephew in other aspects.
Chen Tang and his sister thought that they were indeed a match, so they told Jiang Xiangyang's father about it. Coincidentally, Jiang Xiangyang's father was also worried about his daughter's marriage. He was very moved when he heard Chen Tang's introduction, and the two families arranged for the two children to meet.
Chen Tang thought the matter was settled just like that, but he didn't expect that the engagement was already set and the bride price was given, but in the end Jiang Xiangyang actually wanted to break off the engagement.
As for the reason for breaking off the engagement, Chen Tang didn't know it at first. Later, when the Jiang family leaked the news, he actually said that he stated that he liked the man. Chen Tang didn't believe this news. The statement is not that he only has one girlfriend, Jiang Xiangyang. If the statement likes men, why would he fall in love with those people.
Chen Tang took this news and asked for a statement. Sure enough, he stated that his sexual orientation was normal. He didn't know why Jiang Xiangyang broke off the engagement, got engaged and then broke off the engagement. He also felt that he was very embarrassed.
Chen Tang felt that this was a pretext used by the Jiang family to break off the engagement. They poured all kinds of dirty water on his nephew and felt very sorry for his nephew. Usually, Jiang Xiangyang and his family were not in his hometown, and Chen Tang had few opportunities to meet them. He would not call specifically to talk about anything on his mind.
Today, Jiang Xiangyang’s second uncle celebrated his birthday. Jiang Xiangyang’s family came back and even brought a boyfriend home. Chen Tang drank some wine and listened to everyone praising Jiang Xiangyang for being lucky and finding a civil servant boyfriend. Chen Tang felt It feels even more uncomfortable. Although my nephew is not a civil servant, he cannot be belittled by them at will.
Even though Chen Tang was visiting someone else's house today, driven by alcohol, he vented all his dissatisfaction in front of the public.
The guests next to Chen Tang saw that Chen Tang was getting more and more outrageous and wanted to stand up and stop Chen Tang. Unexpectedly, Chen Tang, who had finished drinking, was so strong that the people around him couldn't hold him back for a moment.
Chen Tang stood up unsteadily and continued to mutter loudly: "I say he is a civil servant, I don't know if it is true or not. What's more, he is already 36, and I don't know if he is a second marriage. How can he compare?" You need to come to our family to make a statement!”
"Okay, stop talking." Tang Ying pulled her husband hard and wanted to take Chen Tang home.
Tang Ying looked at everyone's expressions and said awkwardly to Jiang Xiangyang's father: "Old Jiang, our old Chen drinks too much, don't be offended."
Jiang Xiangyang's father naturally heard Chen Tang making such a big noise. Since today was his second brother's birthday and Chen Tang was a guest, Jiang's father didn't want to make things worse. He defeated his second brother's interest and said in a cold voice: "The statement maker himself knows what happened back then. Today it's me. I don’t want to talk about these things on my second brother’s birthday. I think Chen Tang drank too much, so you’d better get him sober up quickly.”
"I know, I know." Tang Ying quickly winked and asked her daughter to hold Chen Tang's right arm. She grabbed Chen Tang's left hand and forced Chen Tang to take him home.
After Chen Tang left, the birthday party naturally returned to a lively atmosphere.
