Xiao Jingyu said into the phone: "Father, please wait a minute."
Xiao Jingyu turned to Xiao Zheng next to him and asked, "Father asked us to go back for dinner, shall we go?"
Xiao Zheng had nothing to fear and said, "Let's go."
The branch of Mogan Road is called Jiangnanli.
After the car Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were sitting in was guided from the main road to the small road "Jiangnanli", all the vehicles on the main road were allowed to pass, and it suddenly became smooth. There is no doubt that the inspection just now was for
Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei's.
This made Fei Qingmei feel nervous. She couldn't help but hold Xiao Rongrong's hand and asked, "Shall we call my son?"
Xiao Rongrong said calmly: "Let's see and then talk."
To be honest, Xiao Rongrong has not traveled far since he arrived in Anxian from Huajing. Even Fei Qingmei has forgotten that he was once the young master of Huajing. However, Xiao Rongrong's words of "see and then talk" just now, when speaking,
That calmness made Fei Qingmei think of him when he was young and frivolous.
Xiao Rongrong is still the young master who is not afraid of the sky or the earth. Even if something happens, as long as she is with Brother Xiao, what should she be afraid of?
That's right, in the past, when she first met him in Huajing, she called him "Brother Xiao." In this life, following Brother Xiao, she suffered a lot, but she didn't miss it!
Fei Qingmei and Xiao Rongrong were sitting in the back row. Fei Qingmei's hand was holding Xiao Rongrong's hand tightly. People who looked like policemen were leading the way in front. The driver drove slowly. The white walls and ancient camphor trees beside the road moved back. Finally,
The car stopped in front of a screen wall, and there were security guards standing in front of it, all young and muscular.
Seeing the police, the two security guards directed the driver to park the car in front of the screen wall, and then directed Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei: "Please."
The man who looked like a police officer said: "I will accompany you here. Just follow the security guard in. Nothing will happen."
Xiao Rongrong had already seen that within this high wall, there were trees and rows of houses. It was an ancient house with a lot of historical charm, and ordinary people were not qualified to live in it.
The people living here must be quite extraordinary, and they should not play dirty tricks. With this basic judgment, Xiao Rongrong became even more fearless.
Under the guidance of the strong security guard, we walked around the screen wall and saw a doorway inlaid in the wall, with the word "Jinglu" written on the top, which was simple and vigorous.
Entering the entrance, there is a Taihu stone rockery next to the pavilion, and the flowing water passes under the small bridge. It is a typical Jiangnan courtyard. Perhaps it was once the residence of a wealthy official.
Perform here, come and go here?
Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, two plainly dressed rural couples, were finally brought to a building with carved beams and painted beams. There was a person standing at the door, like a stone statue.
After seeing Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, this person seemed to have been turned on. He immediately walked down the steps and came to Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei. He bowed slightly and called him respectfully: "Master,
Young Mistress."
Fei Qingmei was startled, took a step back and said, "I'm not a young lady!"
Xiao Rongrong raised his chin slightly and sighed: "Uncle Yao." He did not say "officer", but called Yao Wenchang "Uncle Yao".
Yao Wenchang couldn't help but feel moved. Among the young masters of the Xiao family, Xiao Rongrong, the youngest, was the most arrogant. He always called him "Uncle Yao". Yao Wenchang couldn't help but said, "I haven't seen you for so many years. I miss you, Master."
Xiao Rongrong glanced into the room and asked, "Is my dad here?"
When Yao Wenchang heard Xiao Rongrong's cordial call of "my dad", he thought that the old master of the family must have heard it inside. After hearing it, he must be happy. Yao Wenchang said hurriedly: "Yes, the old master of the family is here."
Only then did Fei Qingmei understand that it turned out to be her husband's family, someone from the Hua Jingxiao family came, and it was the head of the old family, her father-in-law!
Fei Qingmei's mood is very complicated. On the one hand, how to deal with her father-in-law whom she has not seen for so many years; on the other hand, what is the purpose of the appearance of the Xiao family members, and will their current peaceful and happy life be disturbed?
Xiao Rongrong looked around the courtyard and asked Yao Wenchang, the priest: "Is this the property of the Xiao family in Huajing? I didn't know it before!"
I heard a powerful voice coming from inside: "This is for rent." There is no doubt that this voice is the voice of the old owner Xiao Yi.
Xiao Rongrong said: "Dad, your voice has barely changed over the past few decades."
The old head of the family laughed out loud in the back room: "You know how to please people, and I just like how you talk!"
Xiao Rongrong also smiled and said: "It's useless to like it, we are still in the same polarity!"
Xiao Yi, the head of the old family, said: "You are unfilial. You just left the family and never came back!"
Xiao Rongrong looked at the building and did not get close: "Sometimes, isn't it right to be unfilial? If I listened to the family and you, I would kill my precious son Xiao Zheng. Today there is Xiao Zheng
Are you here, Zheng? Will you come to Hangzhou in person today?"
Xiao Rongrong refused to give in in the contest with his family.
No one came out of the house supported by the red pillars, and Xiao Rongrong was not allowed in. The old family leader’s questioning voice came out again: “You still don’t want to return to the family?”
Xiao Rongrong said: "I don't want to."
The head of the old family said: "Do you know which family Xiao Zheng is marrying?"
Xiao Rongrong said: "The Xiao family in Hangzhou. But this is irrelevant. Xiao Jingyu is a good girl. She has identified Xiao Zheng and is not afraid of mountains and seas. The family does not agree and would rather not have anything to do with the family until death."
Xiao Yidao, the head of the old family, said: "You admire this daughter-in-law's character! She is really not a family, and she doesn't belong to the same family! But have you ever thought that I condoned you leaving the family like this, but the Xiao family in Hangzhou,
It’s not the Huajing Xiao family, they won’t condone Xiao Jingyu leaving the family like this!”
Xiao Rongrong still said forcefully: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Since Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu are married, they should handle the rest by themselves."
The old head of the family said, "Do you think they can handle it?"
Xiao Rongrong said: "I think it's okay."
The head of the old family said: "Okay, then you can leave."
Xiao Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and so was Fei Qingmei. They mobilized a large number of people to stop them from the road, said a few seemingly irrelevant words, and let them leave without even inviting them in?
Fei Qingmei pushed Xiao Rongrong and said: "Since there is only one door between us, you should go and see your father."
Xiao Rongrong looked at Fei Qingmei, and her heart moved, and said: "Dad, let me go in and see you. I don't know when I can see you in the future."
Xiao Yi said: "No, unless you agree to return to the family."
Xiao Rongrong said: "I will not return. We are living a good life now."
Xiao Yi said: "You don't want to come back, but you still hate me and refuse to forgive me! Then just leave."
Xiao Rongrong glanced at the door opposite Zhu Qi, and then said to his wife: "Let's go." He turned around and walked back the way he came.
The priest Yao Wenchang couldn't help but persuade him to stay: "Master, can't you forgive the old master? The old master..."
Xiao Yi's voice came out again: "Wenchang!" Yao Wenchang didn't dare to speak anymore.
Xiao Rongrong continued to walk out, and his wife Fei Qingmei followed closely. Neither of them spoke, and they walked outside the screen wall, where the car was still waiting. The driver was a little anxious, and had already called his boss before.
, his leader called Fang Ya again and reported the situation.
Fang Ya told them, don't worry, there is nothing to worry about in the big courtyard in the city center, maybe someone is kind enough to invite them to drink tea. If they don't come out in a few hours, ask her again. The driver will heat up the pot.
After waiting like an ant for about ten minutes, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei came out safely.
The driver finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei to get in the car. He stepped on the accelerator and ran out of the north gate of Hangzhou towards An County.
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu, accompanied by Li Haiyan, returned to the Xiao family together.
In the restaurant, today the head of the family, Xiao Xingshi, is sitting in the main seat, grandma Ye Chuanying is sitting in the second seat, uncle Xiao Xinghai is sitting next to Ye Chuanying, and sister-in-law Xiao Xingyun is sitting next to Xiao Xingshi, leaving two seats opposite them.
Obviously there was no place left for Li Haiyan. Just as Xiao Jingyu was about to speak, grandma Ye Chuanying said: "Jingyu, today is our family matter. Let Xiao Li come and have a meal nearby. We will welcome her to dine with us next time."
Li Haiyan didn't want to embarrass her leader, so she immediately said: "Secretary Xiao, I'll go outside to eat something." After saying that, she took the initiative to walk out.
The door of the restaurant was closed. The atmosphere today did not seem to be congratulating Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu on their marriage. Both Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu felt it, and Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but shake Xiao Zheng's hand.
Xiao Zheng also squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Shouldn't we be invited to the Hongmen Banquet today?"
At this time, Xiao Xingshi picked up the wine glass and stood up first: "Jingyu, Xiao Zheng, let's toast you a glass of wine."
Everyone else also stood up, including grandma Ye Chuanying. Her eyes showed unbearability and helplessness. Xiao Jingyu suddenly read some information from it.
But Xiao Xingshi said that he wanted to respect her and Xiao Zheng, so what happened?
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu also stood up. Since the elders were toasting, of course they had to stand up. Xiao Zheng didn't drink and Xiao Jingyu was pregnant. They both poured tea, picked up the cups and said, "Thank you!"
However, at this time, Xiao Xingshi said: "After drinking this drink, we elders can just ask you for a favor. Let's abort the child in Jingyu's belly tonight!"
These words were like thunder, hitting Xiao Jingyu's chest, making her feel sick. She saw Xiao Xingshi, Xiao Xinghai, Xiao Xingyun and others looking at her with firm eyes, which showed that this was their joint decision.
When Xiao Jingyu looked at Ye Chuanying again, he saw that grandma seemed much more haggard at this time. It was obvious that she couldn't bear it, but she didn't speak for her.
Xiao Zheng threw the tea cup on the table, supported Xiao Jingyu, glared at Xiao Xingshi and said, "Are you talking humanly? The child belongs to me and Jingyu, don't think of any ideas!"
Xiao Xingshi said: "It's best if you agree. If you don't agree, we have ways to do it. Xiao Zheng, let me tell you something, Jing Yu is a member of the family when he is born, and a ghost of the family when he dies. You, a foreigner, have no right to interfere."
Xiao Zheng retorted: "In the past, no one took care of Jingyu or cared about her, but things are different now. She is my woman, and I will protect her to the end. What does family mean? You are all a bunch of inhumane ghosts!"
With that said, Xiao Zheng took Xiao Jingyu's hand and walked out.
No one stopped them. Li Haiyan did not go to eat and kept waiting outside. She heard the noise and knew that they had broken up. When she saw Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu coming out, she immediately followed them and walked outside together.
When they entered the courtyard outside the big house, they were caught off guard when a group of well-dressed people suddenly rushed over from the right.
Like an iron wall, they forcibly dispersed Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan. Then they divided into three groups and surrounded the three in the center. Xiao Zheng was the farthest from Xiao Jingyu. He wanted to break out, but these people were together.
He struck him with a baton and knocked him to the ground.
Xiao Zheng was about to get up again, but another baton hit him and knocked him down. Xiao Zheng had some skills, but these people were also well-trained. They used their formation and force to deal with Xiao Zheng alone, and Xiao Zheng could not resist it.
.
Xiao Zheng tried to stand up again and was beaten with a stick again. Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan both started crying and shouted "Xiao Zheng" and "Master".
But Xiao Zheng still had to stand up. He felt that his mind was no longer clear, but there was only Xiao Jingyu in his eyes. He stood up again.
At this time, Xiao Xinghai shouted from the side: "Hit him on the head!"
Those batons all hit Xiao Zheng on the head. As long as Xiao Zheng was hit, his skull would probably be shattered if he wasn't dead.
"Huajing Xiao Family, Xiao Yi, come to see Ms. Ye Chuanying." Suddenly, a powerful voice sounded outside the gate of the Xiao Family Courtyard, "I wonder if Ms. Ye is free?"
This sound had just reached Ye Chuanying's eardrums, and her old body trembled, just like a dead tree springing back to life, and spring water gushing out from under the dry stone.
