Chapter fifty-ninth, the warm-up stage of the general meeting
In the yard, Mrs. Jia Zhang took out Dongxu's posthumous photo. Listening to the old man's scolding, she also took the opportunity to show off her past arrogance and aggressiveness.
Playing the emotional card, with a trace of compassion on his face, he asked Banggeng to hold Jia Dongxu's deceased photo towards Qin Huairu, and said sadly,
"What a sin! How come our Jia family has such a vicious daughter-in-law? Dongxu has only been away for a few years, and yet he wants to drive my mother-in-law back to live in the countryside. I pity my grandson for having such a heartless mother.
.”
After accusing Qin Huairu of the crime, Jia Zhang looked at the crowd and said with runny nose and tears,
"Everyone in the courtyard must be conscientious. Although I usually speak harshly, I can't do such a nasty thing as driving someone out of the house. This will cause thunder and lightning!"
Then he held Banggeng’s hand and said to everyone,
"Banggen, let all the uncles and aunts in the courtyard come and take a look at your dad."
Then the old man said to everyone with tears streaming down his face,
"Everyone in the courtyard, Dongxu left early and left behind me, a loser. My wife here thinks I'm old and no longer useful. It's fine if she doesn't respect me. She wants to drive me away. How about I ask?
Who doesn’t have time to grow old?”
In the end, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with great sadness and said,
"Qin Huairu, if my Dongxu hadn't married you, you would still be farming in the countryside! Now that you have taken over Dongxu's job and become a city dweller, you have grown up, so you think I always want to take advantage of you.
I kicked out the courtyard, where is your conscience?"
Don't tell me, no matter what everyone's usual impression of Jia Zhang is, seeing such an old man in his sixties, leading a boy in his early ten years, holding a black and white photo of his son in his hand, crying in front of everyone
, Xiao Zhiyi's appearance always shows such a trace of unbearability in his heart.
Even Su Cheng couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw this scene. If he didn't know clearly what kind of person Jia Zhang was, he might have been deceived.
Xu Damao on the side was much more leisurely. He took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and handed them to Su Cheng and said,
"Chengzi, come on, crack some melon seeds, the show has just begun!"
Lou Xiao'e next to her twisted the fat around Xu Damao's waist and said dissatisfiedly,
"Da Mao, can you say a few words less? Isn't it too big a deal? The scar on your face hasn't gone away yet. The scar has really healed and you have forgotten the pain, right?"
Married gay men have more or less experienced the feeling of having their waists twisted. Xu Damao was really stomping his feet in pain at this moment and said with a flattering look on his face,
"Mozhi, don't~Hey, you~I won't say anything anymore, please let go! There are so many people watching!"
Su Cheng glanced at the two people. They looked like a pair of happy enemies. There was no clue that Xu Damao would do something unscrupulous in the future.
While smacking the melon seeds handed over by Xu Damao, Su Cheng ignored them and looked at Qin Huairu in the center of the yard with interest.
Jia and Zhang had already made a move, and he was very curious how Qin Huairu would respond.
But they saw Mrs. Jia Zhang showing off her feelings to everyone with a stick, but Qin Huairu said nothing and looked at the three elders above her.
She sat on the bench looking haggard, her eyes were slightly red, and she hesitated to speak, her helplessness written on her face.
No matter how much Mrs. Jia and Zhang chattered, she never spoke. She showed in front of everyone the posture of a virtuous daughter-in-law who was bullied by the evil mother-in-law at home and did not dare to resist.
The silence speaks!
Everyone who had been manipulated by Jia Zhang's emotions now saw Qin Huairu's helpless look, but they couldn't help but think of Jia Zhang's past face, and any trace of sympathy they had had suddenly disappeared.
The masters exchanged moves, and here Qin Huairu completed the counterattack.
The uncle looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang's sad look, and then glanced at the helpless Qin Huairu. The balance in his heart still tilted towards Qin Huairu.
At this moment, he showed his majesty as the grand master of this courtyard and shouted,
"Jia Zhang, that's enough. This is a hospital meeting, not a place for you to act up!"
Then he glanced at Yan Bugui and said to everyone,
"Some people may not be very clear about why the whole hospital meeting is being held today. Let the third uncle of our hospital explain it to everyone first."
Yan Bugui received the signal from the uncle, straightened his clothes, pushed up his eyes on the bridge of his nose, cleared his throat, stood up and bowed his hands to everyone,
After trying his best to behave like an old scholar, he said sternly to everyone,
"This morning, Qin Huairu had a fight with her mother-in-law and was kicked out of the house. As for who is right and who is wrong, we will not discuss it here. Later, Qin Huairu hid in the cellar of her home, making everyone think that
She disappeared, and after a lot of fussing, someone finally found her. As we all saw later, Qin Huairu disappeared, and we were all anxious, but her mother-in-law didn't care about her life or death at all, and she thought we were in the way.
The words happened to be heard by Qin Huairu who had just come out of the cellar, so Qin Huairu asked me, Lao Liu, and Lao Yi, the three elders in the courtyard, to make the decision to send the Jia Zhang family back to the countryside."
Yan Bugui recounted the general story of the incident to everyone, and his words were somewhat biased. He thought that compared to Qin Huairu, he was more dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's usual style, and then he showed off his literary talent.
"But as the saying goes, it takes a day to freeze three feet. Why did Qin Huairu insist on sending Jia and Zhang back to the countryside? Today's incident should be just an inducement, and in the past, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the main reason for this farce
factor."
The second uncle Liu Haizhong on the side also took over Yan Bugui's words in a timely manner, and said in the tone of a leader's speech,
"Lao Yan's analysis is reasonable, but as the second uncle in our courtyard, I always want to give Huairu a few words of advice. Who hasn't had conflicts yet? Since there are conflicts, then find ways to solve them, and
You don’t have to drive people away if you disagree with them! Mrs. Jia and Zhang are your elders, so you should be more modest! Respecting your elders is a tradition in our courtyard, Qin Huairu, you~"
After all, Liu Haizhong only had an elementary school education. At first he could say a few words like what a leader would say, but now he was at a loss for words. After a while, he said,
"You are destroying the harmony of our yard!"
The second uncle and the third uncle in the courtyard each had their own biased opinions. After the second uncle finished speaking, Qin Huairu took the opportunity to stand up and bow to everyone,
"Everyone in the courtyard, today you know that I am missing. Some people don't even bother to eat, so they go out to look for me. I am here to thank you all."
When the melon-eaters onlookers heard Qin Huairu's words, someone waved their hands and said,
"Sister-in-law Qin, we are all from the same courtyard, that's right."
Then someone echoed,
"Yes, they are all in the same courtyard, so you don't have to worry about it."
Qin Huairu looked at the speaker with a grateful look, then looked at the second uncle and continued,
"Second uncle, you are right. Respecting the elders is the virtue of people in our courtyard. But these elders must also act like elders, right?"
Su Cheng glanced at Qin Huairu, listened to the twist in her words, stopped eating melon seeds in his hand, sat upright, looking attentive,
