In the blink of an eye, Shen Luzhu returned all the weird words Wang and Li had just said that day. Wang was so angry that he pointed at himself and said "you, you, you" for a long time, and was stunned to say a complete sentence. I can’t even say it!
Chu Yi also stepped forward and said: "As a grandson, I really should fulfill my filial piety. In order to cooperate with my mother-in-law's big event, I specially invited a lion dance team and a theater troupe. But how can my mother-in-law spend all the money for this banquet?" Count it on us!"
At this time, Shen Luzhu put on the expression of a bullied little daughter-in-law again, and said aggrievedly: "Thankfully, we are afraid that grandpa and grandma will work hard with the uncle and aunt, so they will have to go to the town to find a restaurant together. They even put it in our yard to save the elders from having to clean up after the birthday party. Everything we and my third uncle can and cannot do have been done, but the uncle and his mother are the eldest sons. Daughter-in-law, my cousin is also the eldest grandson, you can’t leave all this filial duty to us!”
On a day like today, the Chu Ping family next door would naturally come, but it was difficult for Qian to support them in this situation, so she winked at her fat aunt who was sitting opposite.
Fat Aunt understood what she was thinking, cleared her throat, and in a voice that could be heard throughout the yard, she pretended to complain to the people around her: "Oh, Fat Aunt, I didn't expect the dishes at this birthday banquet to be so rich. I thought that Mr. Chu and his wife had changed their gender, but suddenly they were so generous and filial. But, tsk, tsk, tsk! It’s really a waste of time to blind Chu Yi and these two good filial children!"
"Yes, the young couple contributed both money and effort, and specially invited a lion dance team and a theater troupe. Not to mention this rural place, even in that town or county, no one's birthday is so grand! "
The fat aunt continued: "To put it bluntly, you are bullying other people's children into being filial and honest!"
"Well, we've already divided our families. This money should be spent by the young couple. How can they bully the younger generation like this!"
Grandpa Chu's birthday banquet was held so grandly this time. As the old relatives of Grandma Cui, even if they no longer looked down upon what the Chu family did, for the sake of Chu Yi and Chu Li, they still came. There are only a few uncles of Chu Yi. ..
The third uncle of the Cui family has always had a hot temper. When Chu Yi and his wife were not involved, he just sat with his arms crossed and drank while watching the fun. Now he heard that the boss of the Chu family dared to bully his nephew so blatantly. The dining table shook three times as he slapped his palm, and he roared: "I want to see who the hell dares to bully my nephew today!"
Every time Uncle Cui heard about the immoral things the Chu family had done before, he was so angry that he would use a pole to teach people a lesson. Grandma Cui and her daughter-in-law would do it every time. She was really afraid of his reckless temper. Instead, it brought bad things to Chu Yi and his young couple. Not to mention the people who stopped him today, the Cui brothers didn't follow suit and throw plates and bowls together to make trouble. They all did it because they were in the Chu Yi family's house. Come on, after all, the young couple has to clean up by themselves after all the trouble!
Cui Sanjiu is quite famous in the village. It is said that he can kill a neighbor's crazy and biting big dog with one punch. Even a farmer like Uncle Chu, who has been doing farm work all year round, is caught by Cui Sanjiu for a while. He couldn't bear it either, so he turned around and pretended not to see it.
Chu Ren felt angry when being said by these people, but he still had to keep the gentleman's appearance on his face. He could only grit his teeth and reply secretly: "Three uncles of the Cui family, what are you talking about? A Yi and I are both brothers, and How could you bully him? Moreover, these descendants of the Chu family are celebrating their grandpa’s birthday. Where does the argument come from that who deserves it and who doesn’t?”
What Cui Sanjiu despises the most on weekdays are those scholars, with their sour and literary tone. He frowns and is about to step forward to talk to Chu Ren: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not blind. I can't tell you." Damn you, you’re bullying me!”
The uncle of the Chu family stretched out his hand to stop his brother who was about to rush out: "Third brother!"
If the person opposite today was someone like Uncle Chu who was the same generation as them, it wouldn't matter if they had a fight. But that's what makes people angry. Uncle Chu across from him acted like a coward and patted the son of a weak scholar out. He was a junior again, so they couldn't lose their sense of proportion.
Grandpa Tang and Mrs. Yu were sitting at the main table today. How could they not see the concerns of the Cui family? They thought that their children and grandchildren would have to teach themselves a lesson. Mrs. Yu scolded Grandpa Chu with a straight face: "
If my cousin, my grandson, doesn't teach me a lesson, I'm afraid he will go to heaven tomorrow! The eldest son and grandson can take advantage of celebrating their father's birthday. There is nothing they can't do! If you are poor, if you have no money, you can do it sparingly, or even don't do it at all. What's wrong with having your family get together to celebrate? It's not a big birthday! It's a good thing for you, you want both face and money. The place belongs to others, and the work is done by others. You have done enough showing off, and you have earned enough face. But now you want others to get the money for you, so you still have to do it. What? I think it’s just for you to get used to! "
Shen Luzhu was afraid that Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang would be really angry, so he hurriedly pulled Chu Yi forward and softly comforted the two old people: "Grandpa and Grandma Tang, don't be angry. It's not a big deal. It's not worth taking. In fact... …”
Just as she was about to whisper to the two old men that she and Chu Yi were doing this intentionally, and to tell the two old men not to get so angry, who knew that Old Mrs. Yu suddenly patted her hand quietly, taking advantage of the absence of everyone's attention? Here, Shen Luzhu winked at the young couple, and Shen Luzhu was stunned for a moment. Together with his grandfather and the old couple, they knew everything in their hearts, and they were also acting like this!
"Grandma Tang..."
"Third Brother!" Mrs. Yu interrupted Shen Luzhu's words, turned around and called Uncle Chu to her side, and then said in a voice that everyone present could hear: "If your parents and grandparents don't support you, today We, the grandparents, will support you! Third child, Ayi, neither of you are allowed to pay this money today. I want to see who dares to force you to take it, the eldest son of the Chu family If you don’t want to be the eldest grandson, then don’t become one. Let your father tell the clan leader now to check the name on the family tree, so as not to embarrass the person named Chu in the future!”
The head of the Chu family was originally sitting at the main table watching the show quietly. Who would have thought that this matter could actually affect him? He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, please calm down. The children are not sensible and should be taught a lesson!"
In fact, everyone present knew that what Mrs. Yu said was just an angry remark that should not be taken seriously. Even though they were both named Chu, after all, they were two families now. How could such a big thing be said by the cousin next door? Forget it, secondly, although the behavior of Uncle Chu and his family may seem irritating, it is not a serious crime like abusing parents, and naturally it cannot be said to be such a serious punishment as being removed from the family tree.
It's just that you can ask the elders in the family to say this. From now on, everyone in the village will have to say something to you behind your back: "Did you see that in that family, the eldest son and grandson were all named by the elders in the family to be taken from the family tree? Expelled!"
Although Grandma Chu has always been a little afraid of her cousin-in-law, the old lady, but this matter involves Chu Ren, how can she sit idly by and ignore it: "Whoever dares to remove her name, let me see who dares! Why did my cousin-in-law interfere? When it comes to our family, my eldest son and grandson are doing very well and are more filial than anyone else. Dad, please say something, others are bullying your son and grandson!"
Grandpa Chu's face was also very ugly. The originally glorious birthday banquet was completely ruined. Not to mention, the whole family stood here and let others laugh: "My cousins, please don't interfere in this matter!"
Grandpa Tang looked at the people in the Chu family's main room standing there with disdain, then pointed at Grandpa Chu, and said in a disdainful manner: "You are confused!"
Grandma Chu came to Chu Yi and Uncle Chu in a few steps and begged: "Ayi and you two, it's easy for you and me to make money. Now you can make a lot of money. You are all determined. All you have to do is tremble." ? The same goes for you, third child. Didn’t you save a lot of money for your private life? You were willing to use it to marry Chu Yi, but you were reluctant to use it to celebrate your father’s birthday? Besides, you didn’t discuss it with your mother-in-law when you made the decision! You have to do it! Why are you asking your uncle and his family to embarrass themselves in front of the whole village? Aren is the face of our family, so if he loses face, how can your faces be bright?"
Uncle Chu looked at Grandma Chu with disbelief: "Grandma!"
Chu Yi was not surprised by this. He had already thought about it as early as the night when Chu Fang came to the house to make trouble. It seemed that it would be impossible to separate the families with Mr. Chu and Uncle Chu. Only by completely severing the relationship could he To put an end to these constant troubles, he had no feelings for the Chu family for a long time, except for his third uncle, who was the one he was most worried about and worried about.
Perhaps the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Instead of asking Uncle Chu to let all his emotions be consumed by the Chu family little by little, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and face the reality. Chu Yi stopped
He stopped the emotional Uncle Chu, looked at Grandpa Chu steadily and said, "Grandpa thinks so too?"
Grandpa Chu didn't say anything, but his expression said everything. Regarding Chu Yi, the young couple and Uncle Chu, Grandpa Chu was just like Grandma Chu in this matter. They only had incomprehension and resentment. He felt that they were calling Uncle Chu's family on purpose. Make a fool of yourself!
"Since grandpa and grandma don't regard us as their own children and grandchildren, then why bother to maintain this superficial relationship? Why don't we break it off completely in the future and save the two of us from looking at each other for a lifetime."
When the Cui family's third uncle heard his nephew's explosive speech, he immediately became energetic. He shook off the frustration of being stopped by his eldest brother, and shouted to stand up for Chu Yi: "Well said, break up with them!"
Grandpa Chu was so angry that he pointed at Chu Yi's nose and cursed: "You unworthy descendant! You actually want to break up with me just for a mere meal. Have you fallen into the eyes of money? Okay. , break it off! Who cares? Even if you kneel down and beg me in the future, smash your head open, I will never recognize you again!"
Chu Yi said in a calm but firm tone: "Even if my cousin becomes famous in the future and we beg on the street, we will never go to my grandpa's door to ask for a grain of rice or a sip of water!"
"Okay! Okay! You're very kind! Old lady, bring me the money. We can still afford food. Stop asking people to say that we take advantage of others!"
Grandma Chu couldn't resist Grandpa Chu, so she could only go home, get some money, and pay for the rest of the banquet. After a good birthday banquet, how could the rest of the people be in the mood to continue eating? A good birthday banquet. , so they broke up unhappy.
Before leaving, Chu Ren passed by Chu Yi and his wife and said viciously in a voice that only three people could hear: "Chu Ren will remember what happened today!"
