Ma Chen's flattering remarks towards me seemed to the Ma family to be a precursor to ridiculing me.
Ma Xiaoting still smiled and said: "Brother, are you holding back your ultimate move here? What harm do you want to do by doing this?"
Ma Chen immediately glared at Ma Xiaoting and scolded: "What am I holding back? I sincerely invited Yangyang to come to our house for dinner."
Ma Xiaoting also showed an "I understand" evil smile.
At this time, Ma Chen made a "please" gesture to me, indicating that I should go to the table to eat. Ma Tao also immediately pushed me towards the table with his wheelchair.
At this time, the eldest aunt also said: "What are you and Taotao doing here? You see that he is in a wheelchair and you pity him, so you insist on letting him come to our house for a meal?"
My uncle quickly stopped in front of the wheelchair and said seriously: "We can't let him serve. Today is a happy day for my son. It's too unlucky for him to serve."
My grandma immediately came over and pulled my uncle away, scolded him and walked away, and then asked me what was wrong. I was also afraid that my grandma would think too much, so I casually said that my waist was sprained and it was injured. alright.
My uncle came over and said to Ma Tao: "Didn't your uncle say you don't want him to take the seat? Why are you pushing him from behind? You are now the boss of the company and the pride of our Ma family. You are pushing him here." What does he look like as a reform-through-labor prisoner? Don't lose your identity, come here quickly."
My mother looked at me coldly: "Zhang Yang, are you here to cause trouble? Just tell me what your purpose is."
I looked at my mother and smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I was invited by Ma Chen, and he asked me to come to dinner."
Just as Ma Chen was about to speak, there was sudden movement at the gate, and then three more people came in. They were my stepfather and his son and daughter.
Just like last time, when the Ma family saw their stepfather come in, they immediately yelled "Jianhu" and then joined in to warmly welcome them. The stepfather also said that he had something to do at noon and couldn't come, so he could only come now.
"It's not too late, please take a seat!" My grandfather and uncle were very attentive in front of my stepfather, and went over to ask my stepfather to take a seat at the front.
When the stepfather brought his two children over, he glanced at me. He probably saw that I was sitting in a wheelchair. He frowned and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. It was natural for him to walk to the table. sat in the upper seat.
This courtyard faces north and south. The top seat is actually the northernmost seat of the table, facing the south door. In our country's dining etiquette, this seat is generally reserved for the highest status or most distinguished guests. .
The stepfather sat down, and his two children sat on either side of him. After that, my grandfather and uncle asked the others to sit down and prepare to eat.
Ma Chen glanced at my stepfather and said, "Uncle, please sit over here, that seat is occupied."
"Huh?" My stepfather was stunned for a moment. He probably always sat in the upper seat when he came here. At this time, Ma Chen told him that there was someone there, and he seemed particularly surprised and confused.
He thought that this seat was for my grandpa, and he looked at my grandpa with a smile and said, "Yes, this is the seat for your father to sit here. Come on, dad, you sit here."
My grandfather immediately waved his hand: "You can sit there, I can sit anywhere I want."
The stepfather spread his hands towards Ma Chen, meaning look, it's not that I won't give up my seat, it's that your father won't sit.
Ma Chen continued: "I didn't say let my father sit there, I wanted Yangyang to sit there."
As he said this, Ma Chen pointed at me. When he was done, he asked Ma Tao to get out of the car and personally pushed the wheelchair to the side of my stepfather, forcing him to give up his seat to me.
Stepfather's face looked extremely ugly. He glanced at me, then at my mother, and finally looked at Ma Chen: "Chenchen, do you want me to get up and let Zhang Yang sit here?"
"yes."
"Why is this?"
"I'm getting engaged today, and I definitely want my guest of honor to sit here. For me, Yangyang is my guest of honor."
"You..." The stepfather looked very shameless and his expression was ugly.
But after Ma Chen said so, he had no choice but to raise his buttocks to give up his seat. Before he could stand up completely, my uncle came over and held his shoulders to make him continue to sit down. He then said with an apologetic smile: "Jianhu, don't be angry, this kid I guess I’m trying to find some way to show off my disgust.”
My grandfather angrily scolded Ma Chen and told him to stop making trouble.
Ma Chen said seriously: "I'm not making a fuss. I really invited Yangyang here today, and he deserves this seat. Please give up your seat for me, uncle."
My mother was also angry at this time. She glared at Ma Chen: "You can't tell the difference between the big king and the big king, can you? Do you know what stupid thing you are doing now? When you sold the house before, did your uncle introduce it to you? I got a few clients and made you directly earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan that month. This is how you repay your uncle now, isn’t it..."
"Girl, don't talk about that little commission. It's embarrassing in front of Yangyang."
"What's wrong with you? You're out of your mind today? He's Zhang Yang, why are you here to protect him?"
Ma Tao said at this time: "Of course we have to protect him. Not only do I, brother Ma Chen, have to protect him, but I also have to protect him, and our whole family has to protect him."
"You... aren't you just fooling around?"
The uncle was probably very angry. At this time, he directly grabbed my wheelchair and tried to push me out. His move was so terrifying that Ma Chen was frightened. Ma Chen pushed the uncle away and said sternly: "Your son My future lies entirely with him, why don't you try to touch him?"
My uncle stumbled back after being pushed by him, and sat down on the ground. Then he stood up in anger and rushed over to give Ma Chen a slap in the face.
But today was Ma Chen's happy day after all, so the uncle didn't slap him in the face. He just roared at Ma Chen and asked what Ma Chen meant.
Ma Chen then said: "Why don't you ask Taotao who is the benefactor who invested in him and who is the boss of the agricultural trading company?"
As soon as Ma Chen said this, everyone's eyes fell on Ma Tao. A few smarter people also looked at me at the same time, obviously understanding the meaning of Ma Chen's words.
Ma Tao also said solemnly at this time: "Well, now it's time to tell you the truth. The boss behind Brothers Farming is my brother Zhang Yang. Whether it's the relationship with Sihai Hotel or the investment behind it, it's all He did it, I just worked for him, because my brother had just been released from prison, and everyone in the family had objections to him. I was also afraid that you would not agree to let me follow him, so I kept it secret from you. Today we I’m not going to hide it from you anymore.”
As soon as Ma Tao said this, everyone in the Ma family was dumbfounded. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't seem to believe that this was what happened.
"Taotao, you...are you kidding us?" My uncle asked in a panic: "Didn't you say that your benefactor gave it to you?"
"The benefactor is my brother. He helped me open a company and allowed me to make so much money. Isn't this considered the benefactor of my family?"
"How is this possible? Isn't he a reform-through-labor prisoner? It doesn't matter that he just got out of prison and has no money. How can he afford to open such a big company?"
"Dad!" Ma Chen glanced at his father: "It's already at this juncture, why are you still doubting me? I am such a shrewd person, and I am so polite to Yangyang now, why don't I investigate behind his back? Well, we have already found out that it is his company, and now he not only runs an agricultural trading company, but also has three companies under his name."
With that said, Ma Chen walked up to my stepfather again and punched my stepfather's arm with his hand: "Uncle, please give me this seat. I reserve this seat for Yangyang."
My stepfather's face was still ugly at this time. He looked very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Ren Ma Chen said so, so he had no choice but to stand up.
However, he was angry and didn't want to continue eating here. He led his two children out and said harshly: "If anything happens to your Ma family in the future, don't come to me again."
