The father and son chatted all the way and walked for nearly an hour before reaching the front of the Bai family villa.
Su Jianmin approached the door, raised his hand and pressed the button beside the door.
Not long after, a sharp female voice came from the door, "Who is it? Wait!"
Xu Fengjiao wore a fur coat, opened the door and walked into the yard, looking at Su Jianmin, "Who are you?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me, Su Jianmin, Bai Lu's husband. I haven't seen you for many years. Hello."
"Oh, it's you." Xu Fengjiao looked Su Jianmin up and down for a while, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
She fiddled with her permed hair and asked through the iron gate of the courtyard without opening the door: "What are you doing today..."
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen him for many years, so I brought my son Zhiyuan to visit my brother-in-law and sister-in-law."
After Su Jianmin finished speaking, he tried his best to force out a smile and asked: "It's very cold today, can we go in and have a chat?"
Xu Fengjiao married into the Bai family three years before Bai Lu got married, and she had a hard time getting along with this sister-in-law.
Her husband Bai Ting loved his sister Bai Lu very much, and he scolded her for her sister several times, which made her feel extremely aggrieved.
Although Bai Ting is rich, he has lived a very depressed life growing up due to being stigmatized as the son of a capitalist. He only wanted to move abroad, so he tried every means to find an American through connections.
The other party promised him that as long as Bai Lu married him, he could help their family move to the United States.
Bai Ting tried every means to match her up, but his sister refused to agree to the marriage and insisted on marrying a factory worker.
The brother and sister had a big fight, and Bai Ting was so angry that he wanted to sever the brother-sister relationship with Bai Lu.
After that, Bai Lu didn't go back to Bai's house for two years, until she gave birth to her son. Bai Ting put aside his grudge and went to the hospital to see her and bought her a lot of supplements. The two brothers and sister reluctantly reconciled.
When her son was one month old, Bai Lu took her husband and son back to her parents' house for a meal.
Bai Ting didn't say anything harsh to Bai Lu, and took all his anger out on Su Jianmin. Eight out of ten sentences were thorny.
Su Jianmin is a big man, how can he stand it?
Xu Fengjiao remembered that in the early years, Bai Lu would bring her husband and son to visit her for New Year greetings, but in recent years they have not come again, and the two families have completely lost contact.
What kind of wind is blowing today?
Su Jianmin actually came alone with his son.
Xu Fengjiao sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be enthusiastic on the surface, "Oh, I'm so confused! Come in, come in, it's windy outside, don't freeze."
The group walked through the garden and walked into the villa.
The interior decoration is luxurious, with bright reflective floor tiles, spiral staircases, crystal chandeliers, high-end Persian carpets...ancient palaces are nothing more than that.
The boss cursed secretly, the evil exploiting class!
"Mom Liu, we have guests, please bring the coffee quickly." Xu Fengjiao said loudly as soon as she walked into the living room.
A "Okay" came from the kitchen.
Xu Fengjiao smiled and said: "It takes a while to make coffee, and we have to wait... By the way, why didn't my sister-in-law come with me?"
"Oh, Bai Lu just gave birth to her baby. She is confinement at home and can't get wind, so she can't come."
"Are you having another baby? I remember my sister-in-law gave birth to three or four sons. Why are she still giving birth?"
Su Jianmin looked embarrassed for a few seconds and explained: "Bai Lu and I have always wanted to have a daughter, and this time we finally got our wish."
When he mentioned his daughter, he thought of little Jinbao's cute and energetic appearance, and couldn't help but smile like an old father on his face.
Xu Fengjiao, who was sitting opposite him, had an ugly expression on her face and subconsciously clenched her fists.
Why could Bai Lu give birth to so many sons at will, while she gave birth to three daughters, all of them? How hateful!
She tried so hard to give birth to a son and took a lot of folk remedies, which damaged her body. Let alone giving birth to a son, she couldn't even get pregnant now.
Without a son, Bai Ting will sooner or later find another woman to give birth to a son for the Bai family to continue the family line. What will she do then?
"What's good about my daughter? She's a loser!"
Xu Fengjiao sarcastically said, "Brother-in-law, I'm not telling you, my sister-in-law is still a young lady. You can't treat her like a sow giving birth for your own selfish desires, right?"
Su Jianmin was so angry that he immediately wanted to yell back, but when he thought of the purpose of his trip, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"It's true that I didn't think it through well. I've been suffering from poverty all these years, and I haven't had a few good meals."
Xu Fengjiao's eyebrows raised slightly.
She had already guessed Su Jianmin's intention, so she cried and said: "Who has had an easy life these years? Even though the house her brother and I live in is big, it's just an empty shell."
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse..."
"Ouch, brother-in-law, who is the camel and who is the horse? You have a decent job at least, but what about us? We can only sit back and get nothing, and we get poked in the spine and scolded when we walk on the road."
Xu Fengjiao is the one who knows how to cry when she is poor and miserable. She shed two lines of tears as she spoke, as if she had been greatly wronged.
While talking, a middle-aged woman brought out a transparent glass pot filled with brown coffee and several glazed coffee cups.
Su Zhiyuan had never drunk coffee before. He smelled the special aroma of coffee and swallowed with greed. When Liu Ma filled the cup, he blew it a few times and couldn't wait to take a big sip into his mouth.
The next second, "Poof!"
"ah--"
Xu Fengjiao screamed.
The coffee in Su Zhiyuan's mouth spit out onto Xu Fengjiao's face.
Su Jianmin was startled and quickly took out the handkerchief, "Sorry, sorry, oh, what's going on... Boss, what are you doing? Why don't you apologize to your aunt quickly!"
"I'm sorry, aunt."
Xu Fengjiao was furious, but she couldn't care too much about her juniors, so she could only hold back her anger and said: "It's okay, it's okay."
The corners of Su Zhiyuan's lips curved upward, suppressing a smile.
"Auntie, I didn't mean it. This coffee is sour. It tastes like dishwater from a shabu-shabu. You can't drink it. Drinking it will definitely upset your stomach."
What's so bad? You're a country bumpkin!
Xu Fengjiao gritted her teeth, "This is how coffee tastes..."
"Ah? Auntie, do you usually treat people to drink such terrible sour water? Are you afraid of being sprayed in the face?"
After Su Zhiyuan finished speaking, Su Jianmin on the side could no longer restrain his laughter.
Xu Fengjiao's face turned red and white, and she said angrily: "What on earth are you here for today?"
"My mother just gave birth to a younger sister and is very weak. She wanted to borrow a fish to replenish her health." Su Zhiyuan said straightforwardly.
"Fish? Who can eat fish these days?"
"No fish, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are all fine, we don't mind."
Xu Fengjiao had never seen a guy as thick-skinned as Su Zhiyuan. She was so angry that her chest hurt, "Don't say I don't have meat. Even if I do, why should I lend it to you?"
"Auntie, didn't you say so yourself? Your daughters are all losers. Since they are losers, why do they eat so well? Why don't you give it to my sister?"
"Ha! It sounds like your sister is more valuable..."
Su Zhiyuan raised his chin, "Jinbao is of course very valuable, she is a little lucky star!"
