C59 (2/2)
Yang Dabao remained silent. It looked like he didn't want to leave this house.
My mother took out a set of sports clothes and a pair of white underwear from her bag and handed them to me so I could try them on and see if they fit.
I put on my tracksuit and stood in front of the mirror, satisfied. He felt that he had an indescribably tall and slender figure, and his temperament was that of a young master from a wealthy family.
Zhao Xinxin walked over and took the initiative to hold my arm, and looked at the mirror with me. She was more than 1.7 meters tall, not much taller than my shoulder. There was an indescribable feeling coming from her body. How is it compatible with me! It was simply the combination of a village girl and a prince. I had a cold face and didn't bother to look at her.
It was time for lunch. Zhao Xinxin's parents and eldest sister, Jin Yuxia, had returned from the fields. Now that the crops were ripe, they went to the fields to break the corn. When I saw Mother and me in the yard, the three of them were stunned.
Zhao Xinxin's mother laughed awkwardly: ”My dear mother, why did you go home?”
Mother proudly held her head high and puffed out her chest. She stretched out her hand to support the sunglasses on her face and said, ”There is still a home, why haven't you come back yet? Why didn't you all just stay in your own homes and come over to mine? ”
Zhao Xinxin's mother said, ”An extraordinary murder case has occurred in my village. Other than my family, everyone else from the village is dead! So we don't dare to stay at home. Since he had nowhere else to go, he decided to stay at home! Originally, we were too embarrassed to come here, but Xin'er forcefully dragged us here! Xin Er, this daughter knows how to be filial! ”
Mother snorted coldly, folded her arms across her chest, and stopped talking to her.
Zhao Xinxin's father said impatiently: ”What are you trying to do by telling her! Her family owes us one hundred and eighty thousand! This house is mine now, what does it have to do with her! It's our place to live! ”
The mother pointed at him and said through gritted teeth, ”Do you still want a face?”
How shameless, what can you do to me!” Zhao Xinxin's father took a step forward, her tall body almost touching my mother's. She looked down at the woman who was a head shorter than him, her attitude very domineering, ”What, dyeing a yellow hair, scald another perm, and wearing a blind eye mirror, that can't be you anymore!
His mother backed away from him, too angry to speak.
”What do you want to do?” I pulled my mother away and stepped forward to face Zhao Xinxin's father face to face. He was very tall. But compared to me now, he was still half a head shorter, and had to look up at me with anger in her eyes. ”Who are you?” he shouted. Why does she look just like Jin Shi! ”
I said, ”No matter who I am, don't bully my mother!”
Zhao Xinxin's father said: ”You're as thin as a bamboo stick, what use is it if you're tall?
”Then give it a try!”
”Father!” Don't hit him! ” Zhao Xinxin had just come out from the toilet, seeing that she had rushed over, he grabbed onto her father's hand, ”This is Jin Shile, he is your new son-in-law!”
”New son-in-law?” Zhao Xinxin's father hesitated for a moment before placing her palm down, ”What new son-in-law?”
Zhao Xinxin said: ”I'm not following Yang Dabao, I'm following him!” He snuggled up to me, put his hands on my arms, and leaned his head against me.
”Oh!” Zhao Xinxin's father took two steps back and sized me up once more. Her stern face slowly relaxed and she revealed a satisfied smile. If it was this, it would be good! She had to have a face. Much stronger than that Yang Dabao! ”
Standing at the side, Yang Dabao's face was extremely downcast.
When her mother realized that there was one less person, she asked her eldest sister Jin Yuxia, ”Where's Er Nizi? ”Why didn't I see her?”
Jin Yuxia said: ”She ran! I'll follow the one selling the buns! ”
”Why are you going overboard with a bun seller?”
”Because she eats too much. Only the people who sell buns are willing to support her! ” Jin Yuxia said.
Mother said: ”She is only a child, her belly can eat a lot of food! I've only been gone for a few days, and you've already left her hungry! What is your sister doing! ”Not qualified at all!” She suddenly raised her hand and hit Jin Yuxia's back hard, making him grind her teeth in anger.
Jin Yuxia began to cry in grievance.
”Why did you hit her!” Cripple Zhao Liang walked out of the East Room with a pair of crutches, and shouted at my mother.
”What does it have to do with you that I hit her!”
”She's my wife now! No one can hit her without my permission! Otherwise, beat me down first! ” Cripple Zhao Liang and the others didn't look like they were going to do anything, but they would definitely charge when they spoke.
”Yo!” You can't blame me for knowing my own wife's feelings of heartache! ” His mother was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled. It was no wonder that his son-in-law wouldn't mind doting on his daughter, even if he was a little hot-tempered with her.
Then, the mother stopped smiling and spoke to Jin Yuxia seriously: ”We have to get Er Nizi from the bun seller's place!”
Jin Yuxia said, ”Let's wait until tomorrow morning! The one selling buns passes by our village every morning! ”
What happened next was strange. This time, Yang Dabao quietly went into the kitchen to cook.
He poured a pot of noodles. Wash a large pickle and cut it into many small, even pieces. He served each of them a bowl of noodles, sprinkled with some pickles. He went back and forth a few times and brought the bowl into the living room, telling everyone to go eat.
The others went into the hall. Only Mother and I were still standing in the yard, saying that we weren't hungry and wouldn't eat anymore.
While they were eating, my mother gave me a wink and headed for the west room. I caught up with her immediately.
He closed the door after entering the west room. My mother whispered to me, ”Do you know what happened?”
