Li Yao dragged his father-in-law to the gate of Zhou's house, and saw Zhou Chunmei running and sitting down. He had no time to care about her for the time being, so he hurriedly dragged his father-in-law into Zhou's house.
Of course, the only plan for now is to appease the father-in-law first. As long as the fire of the father-in-law is suppressed, everything else will not matter.
Although it was the first time he met the head of the Zhou family, he could see clearly that the person in charge of the Zhou family was his father-in-law Zhou Xialong, and his mother-in-law could not run the family at all.
He used to think that his mother-in-law was in charge of the family, and he put a lot of effort into trying to please her. But now it seems that all his efforts were in vain. Now the only priority is to appease his father-in-law, who is the head of the family.
In order to calm down his father-in-law, Li Yao dragged his angry father-in-law into Zhou's house, got a chair in the main room and asked him to sit down, while begging for forgiveness in a low voice: "Dad, please calm down, all the mistakes are my son-in-law's fault."
Wrong, it’s my son-in-law who didn’t think carefully. Please give my father-in-law a chance to explain..."
He cooperated with being "dragged" home. When he arrived at the main room, Brother Zhou had a dark face and refused to sit down. He stood holding the piece of bamboo and glared at Mr. Li angrily: "Okay, you said it was your fault.
, I will give you a chance to explain and see what flowers you can come up with."
The son chased Zhou Chunmei and beat her, but Grandma Zhou did not try to persuade her. When her son was dragged back by the young man, she still did not say a word and waved her fan with a straight face.
After finally dragging his father-in-law back to Zhou's house, Li Yao dared not show any anger towards his still angry father-in-law. Hearing his tone soften, he quickly and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Dad and grandma are not satisfied that Chunmei married at my grandma's house.
Of course, this was originally against the rules. When our elders were discussing marriage, they also welcomed the bride at the Zhou family according to custom. My mother-in-law and grandma and uncle said that my father-in-law felt that the Zhou family was too far away from Zhu County, so they asked Chunmei to become a minister in the Liu family. The Li family felt that it was inappropriate.
Tuo originally didn't agree, but his mother-in-law and uncle Liu's family repeatedly assured that his father-in-law also agreed.
Moreover, the mother-in-law and the uncles and grandparents of the Liu family also said that Dad spends a lot of time away from home and spends less time at home. Grandma is too old to worry about it. You and grandma will leave all the big and small things about Chunmei to Grandma Liu's family.
Grandpa and uncles were in charge, and after Chunmei got married, the Liu family also took care of it.
Although our family felt it was a bit inappropriate, thinking that it was my father-in-law's wish, we naturally followed the Liu family's uncles and grandparents and decided to welcome the bride at the Liu family. Our family really didn't know that it was not your father-in-law who asked Chunmei to get married at the Liu family.
Meaning, if anyone knows it, even if he knows it the day before the wedding, he will follow the wishes of his father-in-law and grandma and come to the Zhou family to welcome the bride.
The current result was due to my son-in-law's negligence. He did not ask his father-in-law for confirmation in person. This is my fault. Dad and grandma are right to be angry. I will definitely learn the lesson and discuss everything with dad in person in the future."
"What you say is better than what you sing." Mr. Li said it sincerely, but Brother Zhou didn't give any face to him: "You are so thoughtful, you would come to Zhou's house to visit your future father-in-law and grandma as early as when you were talking about a relationship with Chunmei.
But did you? You didn't come at that time. Later, when the marriage was being discussed and the parents of both parties were meeting, when did you and the Li family think of your father-in-law?
You didn't think of your father-in-law when you were talking about the couple, and you didn't think of your father-in-law when your parents met. Ask, who is like you, whose son-in-law has never met his father-in-law until the day of the wedding?
If you are from another province, I can still find reasons for you, but your home is in a neighboring county. What big things or difficulties are there to prevent you and Chunmei from dating the person you have been dating for nearly a year?
Can you spare a day to meet Jiudao and meet your future father-in-law?"
"..." Li Yao was asked and was speechless for a moment.
"Even if something big stops you, you can't come to Plum Village when you and Chunmei are talking about a partner. Even if I used to work outside and have little time at home, and it's the first month of the year when you're talking about getting married, how can I still not be at home?
"
Brother Zhou continued to issue a "soul" question: "Even if I am often away from home and you may not meet me when you come, why don't you call me to discuss a time to meet? But do you and your family have it? Did you call me and follow me?
Have you discussed anything? Have you told me that you and Chunmei are settled and want to get married? Have you ever thought about asking my opinion? "
"I..." The smile on Li Yao's face could no longer be maintained, and he had to defend himself: "Dad, I..."
"Don't say that you have thought about coming," Brother Zhou cut off Li's words: "Don't use it as an excuse for Chunmei and so-and-so of the Liu family to say you don't need to ask me. You and Li
As long as you are really serious, you will not listen to the Liu family's advice. You and the Liu family are in the same breath. It is just because the Liu family is richer and it will be more respectable for you to go to the Liu family to pick up your family.
You and your family used to recognize the Liu family as Zhou Chunmei’s natal family. From now on, the Liu family will be Zhou Chunmei’s natal family. If you have something to do or visit, you go directly to the Liu family and don’t come to my house again. Apart from Zhou Chunmei’s surname, she has nothing to do with my family. I’m not like Zhou Chunmei.
My daughter naturally doesn’t have a son-in-law, let alone a relative like your Li family.
That's all I have to say, take the things you brought and go from my Zhou family to the Liu family to express your filial piety to the Liu family. My family doesn't need your fake attentiveness and concern."
Brother Zhou finished speaking angrily, threw away the bamboo pieces, picked up a few items and stuffed them into Li Yao's arms: "No matter how poor I am, I don't owe you these things. Even if I am so poor that I will eat dirt in the future, I will not go to your Li family to beg for food.
Take it away, take it away, it's disgusting to see the hypocritical faces of you and the Liu family."
His father-in-law was furious and even showed signs of severing the father-daughter relationship with Zhou Chunmei. Li Yao suddenly felt that something was wrong and could not care about anything else. His knees softened and he knelt down to admit his mistake: "Dad, it's all me."
It's my fault, I shouldn't have believed uncle Liu's words and not come to Zhou's house to meet my parents.
I originally wanted Jiudao to meet the elders, but my uncle from the Liu family stopped me. The Liu family knew the situation of my family. I am relatively old, and I had been divorced before and had children. Chunmei and I also knew each other from the Liu family.
My uncle set the line. Uncle Liu and my mother-in-law told me that if my father and grandma saw me, they would definitely not agree to my dating Chunmei. They asked me not to meet the parents of the Zhou family first. Uncle Liu and my mother-in-law communicated with my father-in-law and grandma.
.
I am divorced and have a child. It is very difficult to find a young girl to be my wife. I don’t want a good thing to happen again, so I listened to my uncle Liu’s words and kept delaying coming to see my father-in-law and grandma. This is all my fault.
's mistake.
If my marriage to Chunmei makes my father-in-law and Chunmei's father and daughter enemies, it will be my fault. It is my fault that I did not come to the Zhou family to meet the elders before the wedding, and that I did not ask your opinion in person. You have to fight for it.
You can scold me, but I have no complaints."
Li suddenly knelt down. Grandma Zhou and Brother Zhou were shocked. A man’s knees are very precious. He kneels to the sky and his parents. Li actually knelt down to admit his mistake?
The mother and son were thinking that if Mr. Li could do this, he must really want to live with Chunmei and he was a reliable person. In the future, they probably wouldn't have to worry about Chunmei being bullied in the Li family.
However, the next moment, when they heard Mr. Li pouring out the words like beans from a bamboo tube, they were all shocked. Is Mr. Li divorced?!
Li is not only divorced, but also has a child?
Moreover, the Liu family's uncle also knew that Li was divorced and had children, and he also arranged a match between Chunmei and Li. The Liu family clearly did not feel any pain in selling Zhou Chunmei because she was not a Liu family member.
Grandma Zhou was so angry that she could not speak. No matter how stupid Chunmei was, she was still a girl from the Zhou family. The Liu family actually sold a girl from the Zhou family for a bride price. Are they still human beings?
Brother Zhou was so angry that he had a ball of fire in his heart. He wanted to express it but couldn't. It was blocked in his chest and made it difficult to breathe. At that time, his hands and feet were trembling and he almost gritted his teeth: "Okay! The Liu family are all good people.
Yes! The girl was not born to them, and they didn’t feel bad at all for selling my girl from the Zhou family."
The expressions of the Zhou family's mother and son were obviously wrong. They looked very angry. Li Yao asked cautiously: "Dad, I don't quite understand what you said. My family wants to marry Chunmei..." The Li family wants to marry the Zhou family.
When a girl comes to be a wife, she is not bought. How do you say that the Liu family sold a girl from the Zhou family?
"You still have the nerve to pretend not to understand?" Brother Zhou was so angry that his eyes were red, and he stared at Mr. Li: "Your family and the Liu family have discussed welcoming the bride at the Liu family, and all the betrothal gifts have been sent to the Liu family.
, all went into the pockets of the Liu family. The Liu family made a fortune by selling me, a girl from the Zhou family, and you still come here to pretend to be stupid in front of me. You, I’m talking about you. You and the Liu family are no good, so get out of here!"
At the end of the sentence, Brother Zhou was so angry that he burst into thunder and yelled: "Get out of here, get out of Zhou's house, you go to Liu's house to recognize your relatives, if you dare to visit my house again, I will break your legs!"
"
Grandma Zhou was so angry that she couldn't speak. When she saw her son holding the piece of bamboo that was about to explode, she was afraid that he would kill someone Li. She immediately got up and ran over to catch her son: "Xia Long, your hands are dirty when you beat this kind of person."
, this person and the Liu family are all shit eaters, go to the latrine and throw shit in a bucket at them."
"Well! Mom, I'm fine. You sit down while I go scoop the shit!" Brother Zhou, who was trembling with anger, was held by the old mother's equally trembling hand. He felt regretful and resentful. He hated himself for trusting his mother-in-law too much and letting her do it.
When teaching children, he actually taught Zhou Chunmei so crookedly that she was sold to the Liu family without even knowing it.
I hate Liu Tong even more. Chunmei is the flesh that fell from Liu Tong's body. She actually teamed up with her family to sell her biological daughter.
Brother Zhou felt even more ashamed of his old mother. During the years when her old mother raised Chunmei, Chunmei was very well-behaved. Later, she was raised by Liu Tong herself. Liu Tong got involved with Wu Lingling and also led Chunmei bad.
Feeling guilty, Brother Zhou endured the anger of wanting to kill Mr. Li and the Liu family, threw the bamboo pieces, turned around and rushed to the livestock room behind the house where the cattle and pigs were kept to collect the manure.
Li Yao was shocked by the news he heard. All the betrothal gifts given to the Zhou family by the Li family were swallowed up by the Liu family?! How is this possible? Didn't the Liu family's uncle just go through the motions and the betrothal money and other things were just in the Liu family?
After passing it through my hands, will everything be handed over to Chunmei’s parents?
When I heard that my father-in-law was going to beat me up with feces, I was shocked and frightened. I jumped up and begged the old lady: "Grandma, I was wrong. I admit it. I really don't know how my mother-in-law and the uncles in the Liu family will handle the matter of the bride price."
Yes, it’s my fault that I came back today to make dad and grandma angry. When dad and grandma calm down, I’ll talk to dad again. Grandma, if it’s not good or not, it’s all my fault. Don’t be angry, old man.
Ah, I'll leave right away and come back to see you later."
Fearing that his father-in-law would splash him with feces, Li Yao did not dare to stay any longer. He turned around and ran away in a hurry. He rushed out of the Zhou family's gate and ran along the cement hardened road towards the entrance of the village.
Li Yao saw Zhou Chunmei still sitting on the cement road and ran over in a hurry. Seeing that she was still wiping her tears, he quickly pulled her and said, "Get up and leave quickly. Dad and grandma are going to throw shit at us."
"
"Woo-" After Zhou Chunmei fell to the ground, her knees and hands were scratched. She was in pain and aggrieved. She sat crying. She thought she was pulled and didn't remember. She heard that grandma and dad wanted to throw shit at others, and she was frightened again.
He let out a scream and stood up immediately regardless of the pain.
She wanted to run, but the heel of one of her shoes broke. The shoe was high and low at the same time, and she almost fell down again. Fortunately, Li Yao held her back and kept her from falling. She still stumbled a lot.
"The heel of your shoe is broken. Take off your shoes and run quickly. Dad will be here soon." Li Yao noticed that Zhou Chunmei's heel was broken and hurriedly urged her.
Zhou Chunmei was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She had no idea. She followed Li Yao's advice, took off her shoes and held them in her hands. She ran while crying, fearing that she would be splashed with feces. When she ran, she endured the burning pain of her knee wound.
Running crying.
Zhou Chunmei couldn't be left behind at this time. Li Yao ran with him. After running for a while, he looked behind him. The first time he didn't see anyone chasing him. The second time he saw his father-in-law chasing him out from behind the house. He was afraid that his father-in-law would chase after him with a spoonful of excrement.
He didn't dare to look back and urged Zhou Chunmei to run quickly.
When she heard that her father was chasing her, Zhou Chunmei was so frightened that she ran away. No matter how panicked she was as she stepped on the cement floor with her bare feet, she used all the strength she could muster to run forward.
The young couple ran like frightened birds, running as fast as they could. They didn't dare to stop after running around the bend. They also met several villagers on the road. They didn't have time to see who it was, so they ran to the village office out of breath.
On the floor of the building, he rushed to the vehicle, unlocked it, and climbed into the vehicle.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After finally running to a safe place, Li Yao did not dare to relax. He was afraid that his father-in-law would chase him and scold him, which would lead to everyone in Meicun knowing that his father-in-law wanted to sever ties with Zhou Chunmei.
He didn't want to come back again in the future, so he wiped his sweat, started the car and left Plum Village first.
Zhou Chunmei sat in the driver's cab, still in a state of panic, holding on to the door handle and gasping for breath. When the car drove out of Meicun and walked down the street toward Zhuxian, she looked in the rearview mirror and didn't see her father chasing after her. Her racing heart calmed down a little.
Li Yao drove away and drove out of the administrative center area of Jiudao Township. His pounding heart slowly calmed down. He drove back to Zhuxian County without further delay.
However, when we were halfway there, there was a call from the Liu family.
A call came to Zhou Chunmei's mobile phone. It was from Zhou's sister-in-law, asking when Zhou Chunmei and Li Yao would come to Liu's house for the holidays.
Zhou Chunmei's knee was scratched and she was kicked out. She felt aggrieved. When she received a call, she cried and complained: "Mom, where are you? Li Yao and I went home. Only grandma and dad are at home. Dad is angry.
, drove us out..."
Sister-in-law Zhou was waiting for the girl and her son-in-law at her parents' house. When she didn't see anyone, she called and asked. Then she heard that Chunmei had returned to Meizijing and was kicked out of the house. At that time, her face changed: "You said you were going back to Meizijing Village."
, and you were kicked out by your dad?”
"Well, Mom, why did you tell my dad that I got married at my grandma's house? Why are dad and grandma so angry? Dad said that he just didn't raise my daughter... wu wu..."
Zhou Chunmei started crying. When Sister-in-law Zhou heard the girl asking about where to get married, her heart beat wildly. She didn't dare to tell the truth at all, so she couldn't say anything perfunctory: "You got married at my grandma's house, and your dad was gossiped about by the Zhou family.
I feel very shameless. Once the anger subsides, everything will be fine. Why don’t you go back to grandma’s house? If you don’t, we won’t wait for you..."
Zhou Chunmei was stupid and couldn't get the point right. Li Yao didn't bother to immediately ask his mother-in-law and uncle Liu's family how they communicated with his father-in-law. He took Zhou Chunmei's cell phone and said he wouldn't go to Liu's house for dinner before hanging up the phone.
