As soon as he entered the door, He Xiuman's mother took out a red envelope, walked towards He Xiuman with a smile, and said loudly: "Grandma, are you marrying your granddaughter-in-law? My Xiuman became pregnant as soon as she got married. Your Gao family has blossomed!"
"Come on, Xiuman, this is money for your stomach. It's hot now and I can't save for shopping, so it's a good deal to give me money. Take these fifty yuan and buy whatever you want to eat!"
He Xiuman's mother forced a red envelope into He Xiuman's hand. He Xiuman frowned subconsciously, filled with disbelief. Her parents would give her fifty yuan?
How can it be?
She subconsciously wanted to open the red envelope in public, but her mother held her hand tightly and motioned her not to move with her eyes.
When He Xiuman saw this, he didn't understand anything and sneered in his heart.
She just said that there was no way her parents would give her fifty yuan so generously!
However, they also wanted to save face, so they said it in public to let people know that they paid a lot of money, so that seven people, old and young, would come to eat and drink, which would not be so embarrassing.
While He Xiuman's mother was talking, a group of people from her mother's family had already walked into the hall.
Gao Zhuang, Gao Mingcheng and the two cousins who had been talking together just now came over immediately and began to entertain He Xiuman's family.
After hearing the sound, Grandma Xi immediately came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Xiu Man is very good. Thank you for giving me a good grandson-in-law!"
"Come on, come in and sit down! Zhuangzhuang, bring the fruit snacks, Feng Jing, help pour the tea!" Grandma Xi gave a series of instructions, and Feng Jing was her grandson's name.
The two juniors responded and moved quickly with their hands and feet. After a while, the table was filled with things, including melon seeds, peanuts, candies, chicken cakes, biscuits and peaches. In addition, Gao Zhuang took out another one from the bucket. big watermelon.
This watermelon is grown at home. Pick it early in the morning and soak it in well water. This will make it cool and delicious when you eat it.
He took out his knife and quickly cut the watermelon. After the green striped skin was cut, the red flesh inside was revealed, and sweet juice flowed on the table.
Gao Zhuang said: "Come and eat watermelon!"
He took the initiative to hand the cut watermelon to He Xiuman's grandparents and parents. As for He Xiuman's two younger sisters and brothers, they had already taken the initiative to take something to eat.
The table was full of good food, which made their eyes wide open. They wanted to eat when they saw this, and they wanted to eat when they saw that.
The two younger sisters were okay. They were older and more polite. They only dared to eat a little, but didn't dare to eat too much.
Their younger brother is different. As the only boy in the family, he has been spoiled since he was a child. All the delicious food in the family belongs to him, so when he eats, he doesn't care about his image. Take them together, and your mouth is full of food, because there is too much stuffing, and food particles fall out of your mouth.
Seeing his brother's useless appearance, He Xiuman had a severe heart attack.
When her parents saw this, they said distressedly: "My dear son, please eat slowly, there is so much! If you can't finish it, you can take it back to eat later."
"Yes, keep some belly, we will eat meat later." He Xiuman's grandmother also said in a kind tone.
He Xiuman's younger brother is fifteen years old this year. He is at the age when a half-grown man is living in poverty. In addition, he is well-dressed and chubby. He can eat better than his peers. He eats while eating. While holding some snacks, he asked vaguely: "What kind of meat is there to eat? I want to eat big chicken legs!"
Grandma Xi stood aside and said with a smile: "Yes, yes. I killed a chicken and stewed it today. There are two big chicken legs! Then one will be given to you and one to Xiuman."
He Xiuman's younger brother is named He Yongfu. After hearing this, his eyebrows immediately stood up and he said disdainfully: "What qualifications does a girl like her have to eat a big chicken drumstick? I want to eat two!"
As soon as this statement came out, most people frowned and felt that this He Yongfu was outrageous.
Only his parents and grandparents disagreed, but adults are more understanding of the world, so his mother gently pulled his hand and reminded him in a low voice: "This is someone else's house, so be careful."
He Yongfu's mouth tightened and he didn't say anything more.
He Xiuman took a deep breath, clenched her fingers tightly, and wrinkled the red envelope in her palm. The red envelope was made of red paper and was very thin, and the money inside was even thinner. She endured it again and again before she could not throw the red envelope in her hand at her mother's face.
She said in a sinister tone: "Yes, I am already someone else."
Her mother's expression froze, but her father quickly said: "Yongfu, this is your eldest sister's home, so it's just like home. You should eat, drink, and have fun."
He Xiuman took a deep breath again and suppressed her inner dissatisfaction. She smiled, walked to He Yongfu and said, "Yes, we are siblings. Now my sister is pregnant and needs to supplement her nutrition. You are definitely willing to give both chicken drumsticks to your sister, right?"
She knew that her brother was used to being a solitary eater and was spoiled, so there was no way he would give up the chicken legs.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, He Yongfu waved his fist at He Xiuman and threatened: "Who do you think you are? Are you trying to steal food from me?"
The fist did not hit He Xiuman originally, it was mainly to intimidate her, but He Xiuman happened to take a step forward, so the fist hit her arm.
"Ah!" He Xiuman screamed, backed away, covered her stomach with her hands, and shouted miserably: "Ah, my stomach! My stomach hurts! Brother, why did you hit me?"
Although He Xiuman was only hit on the arm, as a pregnant woman, no one would doubt her if she said she had a stomachache.
Gao Zhuang was standing nearby, and he quickly supported her when he saw this. He had a gentle personality, rarely quarreled with others, and had always been polite to his father-in-law's family. At this time, when he saw Xiuman being hurt, he could no longer bear it. He stopped and shouted at He Yongfu: "You don't know your sister is pregnant? How can you beat her? If she has any shortcomings, I won't beat you!"
Things happened so fast that many people did not pay attention carefully. Just looking at the development of the matter, they all thought that He Yongfu hit He Xiuman, and hit him very hard.
Only Gao Mingcheng saw everything clearly, but naturally he would not speak for He Yongfu.
He Xiuman knew her brother very well and predicted some of her brother's behaviors. Then she took the initiative to take a step forward, but protected herself very skillfully. Then she took a preemptive strike and nailed He Yongfu's beating of his pregnant sister. .
He Xiuman's belly had just begun to show her pregnancy. Normally, she could show off her strength and go to work in the fields, but now she was as weak as Sister Lin. She lay on her tall body and said weakly: "It hurts, it hurts. I stand." I can’t stand it anymore, please help me go to bed and lie down.”
Gao Zhuang was anxious and said quickly: "Is it serious? I'll go to the health center and call the doctor now!"
"You can't go!" He Xiuman's mother was the first to stop him. If an outsider came, then his brother's beating of his pregnant sister would not be hidden.
How do others view their family?
He Xiuman's mother continued: "Xiu Man must have been too tired, so he had fetal pressure! Where did Yong Fu hit him? Yong Fu was playing a joke with his sister! It must have been a double robbery before, and Xiuman was So tired!”
This ability to rake one's back is also very amazing.
But He Xiuman's parents and grandparents all insisted that it was because the Gao Zhuang family made He Xiuman tired that she happened to have fetal force.
As for He Xiuman's two younger sisters, they had no right to speak. They did not dare to eat anymore at this time and stood aside timidly.
Gao Zhuang said angrily: "What are you talking about? Xiuman is pregnant, how could I let her work in the fields? Go to the village and ask, this double-robber Xiuman has never worked in the fields!"
He glared at He Yongfu angrily, clenched his fists, and wanted to beat this brother-in-law.
He had disliked this brother-in-law before, but after all, he didn't interact with him often, so he let it go.
Now he actually dares to beat his wife in his own home, and even causes his wife to have fetal contractions! This can't be tolerated!
He pointed at He Yongfu and said angrily: "If you dare to touch your sister again, I will tear you apart!"
He Yongfu was very proud before, but now the development of things has made him a little confused. He subconsciously hides behind his parents and grandparents. Anyway, with them here, no matter how big the matter is, it will not be his turn to come forward.
After calming down his father-in-law and his family, Gao Zhuang did not forget the business and carefully helped He Xiuman back to the room to rest.
As soon as He Xiuman left, the atmosphere in the hall became awkward.
The table full of food was exciting and anticipated. They chose this time to come over and give He Xiuman money because they wanted to take the opportunity to replenish their health.
This double robbery is tiring enough. If you can have a good meal here, it will be complete!
But things have developed to this point unknowingly, which makes people unable to swallow.
It was just their precious son (grandson) who was causing trouble, so they did not blame him. They just touched He Yongfu's back to calm his slightly panicked mood.
After all, it was in someone else's house. Although He Yongfu was domineering, he was also a bully. He was tall and strong, and he was a little timid.
