"Where is Xiaomei?" Liu went to look behind Hua Zhao, but he could see clearly that everyone was gone and Xu Mei was not seen.
"Didn't she tell you?" Hua Zhao said in surprise: "She said she had discussed it with you. From now on, you will be in charge of the food factory in Beijing, and she will go to the south to open up the market."
She should interfere less with their affairs. If Liu Qian has any dissatisfaction, he should go to Xu Mei and question it himself.
Liu Qian was stunned: "She didn't tell me! What market to open up? When will she come back?"
"To develop the food market, I will stay there as the factory director and come back during the holidays, right?" Hua Zhao was not very sure about the last sentence.
"Why?" Liu Qian blurted out and asked.
"So he didn't tell you, he decided it himself." Hua Zhao finished pretending and gave Liu Qian a look: "But you ask why? Don't you know why?"
Liu Qian shut up.
Of course he knows why.
He opened his mouth, but no words of retort came out.
His family was so troublesome for Xu Mei, should he be lucky that she didn't ask for divorce from him? She just left.
Suddenly, Hua Zhao's sharp eyes saw a few people who didn't fit in with the group.
The Liu family's parents and several brothers and sisters-in-law were incompatible with the people coming and going in the airport, both in their dress and temperament.
In the early 1980s, airplanes were not something ordinary people could afford to sit on if they wanted to. A letter of introduction was required, and a ticket price was at least equivalent to one year's salary.
Except for those who are reimbursed by their employer, no one would be willing to sit down.
"Your parents are here to trouble Xu Mei, right?" Hua Zhao said to Liu Qian rudely: "It's because we can't block anyone at home, so we blocked them here. It's really good."
Liu Qian looked back at his parents and brothers, his face turned dark and red, red and dark again.
He strode towards his parents and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing here?!"
Liu's father, who was still a little guilty, suddenly stopped and glared at him: "Is this the tone you use when talking to your parents?"
Liu Qian was filial after all. Besides, he didn't want to quarrel with his parents in public.
"Go back if you have nothing to do." He said calmly.
But Liu's mother refused: "Where is that little goblin? I want to ask her, which family's principle of being a daughter-in-law is to leave the man alone at home and go out to be cool?
"It's okay if she can't give birth. She can't even take care of a man, so what does she need to do?" Mother Liu shouted.
She had bad eyesight. She used to light lamps and cook oil every night in the countryside to make clothes and shoes, and she was pregnant. She couldn't see clearly whether there was Xu Mei in the group of people across from her.
She just thinks there is.
She also had a loud voice, and people around her stopped to watch the fun.
"That's enough! She is my wife! I don't allow you to talk about her like that!" Liu Qian roared in a low voice.
He really felt that enough was enough. At this moment, he understood better why Xu Mei didn't come back.
He wanted to escape.
These words ignited the dynamite.
"What? I can't talk about her now that she's your wife? Who am I? I'm your mother!" Liu's mother sat on the ground, patted her thighs and cried, "Come and see, everyone, someone has married a daughter-in-law."
Forgot mother! I can’t even say a word.
"Tell me, are there such women? I am a second-time married woman, and I had my uterus removed so I can't have children. As a result, she married my son, a first-time married man, and she is not satisfied!"
"Enough!" Liu Qian shouted.
"Every day he instigates the relationship between our mother and son and doesn't let my son give us money to spend. I use my own money to go out and travel by plane. We have a family of more than ten and only have 10 yuan a month for living expenses!"
"Enough!" Liu Qian shouted again.
But Liu's mother didn't listen to him at all.
"Can you tell me what a daughter-in-law like this should do if she can't have children, doesn't serve men, and isn't filial to her parents-in-law?"
