Chapter 382: A bowl of water must be fair
Fortunately, Hu linyu’s arrival solved this problem. Chen hansheng decided to visit his relatives and even brought Shen youchu along.
It was his sister, Chen LAN, who opened the door. When she saw Chen hansheng, she immediately shouted into the living room, “”My brother is here.”
After a while, Chen LAN added in horror, “”Oh my God, there’s still sister-in-law.”
His second uncle and aunt were in their pajamas and were watching TV on the sofa while waiting for Chen hansheng to eat. It was not a big deal for a nephew to visit, but when they heard that Chen hansheng had brought a girl with him, they could not sit still.
Chen Zhiming, in particular, was a retired military officer who usually paid great attention to his image and dignity. His style was also meticulous. While Chen hansheng and Shen youchu were changing their shoes, he quickly went back to his bedroom to change into a suit.
what’s wrong with hansheng? why didn’t he tell me in advance that he’s bringing his girlfriend over? ”
In the bedroom, the second aunt, gan wenxiu, complained, “”If I had known, I would have made two more dishes.”
“He didn’t say if she’s his girlfriend. Don’t randomly label her.”
Chen Zhiming corrected him.
“She’s already closed the door, and you’re still saying she’s not your girlfriend?”
the girl is quite tall, ” gan wenxiu mumbled. I didn’t get a good look at her. Did you see her? ”
“No, I didn’t,”
Chen Zhiming shook his head. He only had one nephew. Although he was against dating in college, he felt inexplicably relieved that the mischievous Chen hansheng had a girlfriend.
Just as he was about to call his wife out of the bedroom, he suddenly saw her holding a stack of money in a red packet.
“What are you doing?” Chen Zhiming asked.
“I’m giving you red packets.”
“He brought his girlfriend here. As his elders, how can we not express our gratitude?” gan wenxiu’s eyes widened.
Chen Zhiming frowned. let’s confirm our relationship first. Why are you always in such a hurry? ”
“I’m in a hurry?”
Gan wenxiu was not happy. if it was someone else, it would have been fine. But this is Chen hansheng, your only nephew. I’m doing this for your face. If my brother and sister-in-law know about this, they won’t think we’re stingy.
“Even if you want to give it to me, you have to confirm our relationship first. Otherwise, it will be awkward.”
The middle-aged couple’s quarrels were like this. Chen Zhaojun and Liang meijuan were the same. They could have differences over a small matter.
In the end, Chen Zhiming and gan wenxiu walked out of the bedroom without paying any attention to anyone. Chen hansheng still felt a little strange and wondered what the quarrel between uncle and aunt was about.
However, Chen LAN did not care about this. Her attention was completely on this ” sister-in-law “. Shen youchu was embarrassed by her gaze. Her face was flushed red, and she kept looking down at the furry slippers on her feet.
“Speak!”
“Why are you looking for such an ugly man?” Chen LAN could not help asking.
Second uncle and second aunt didn’t see Shen youchu’s face clearly. When they heard this, they thought that the girl that their nephew had brought over wasn’t good-looking.
After hearing that, Chen Zhiming’s heart was instantly covered with a shadow, but he still scolded, “”Don’t talk nonsense. Have you finished your homework?”
“Chen LAN, when did you go blind?”
Chen hansheng found it strange as well. Shen youchu could say that she was not sociable, had low self-esteem, and was too shy, but the word ” ugly ” had nothing to do with her.
“Shut up.”
Chen LAN snapped at Chen hansheng, then sat down next to Shen youchu and said gently, ” sister-in-law, why did you find such an ugly partner? I feel so sorry for you.
Chen hansheng was speechless.
When Chen Zhiming and gan wenxiu came to the living room, Chen LAN shouted, ” dad, mom, sister-in-law is so beautiful. A good cabbage has been dug out by a pig just like that.
“Uncle, Auntie, my name is Shen youchu, I’m from Sichuan.”
Shen youchu stood up in a hurry to greet him. She had only seen old Chen and his wife before. This was her first time seeing Chen hansheng’s relative, and she was so nervous that her fingers were clasped together.
It was only then that second uncle and second aunt saw Shen youchu’s face clearly. Both of them were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads away as if nothing had happened.
Second uncle even coughed. Sichuan? I’ve been there for business trips before. It’s not bad.
“Thank you, second uncle.”
Shen youchu replied in a low voice. She felt that she should thank others for praising her province.
“Oh.”
The second uncle picked up a thermos cup and took a sip of tea. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to gan wenxiu,”Where’s the red packet that you prepared just now? hurry up and take it out.”
“Ah?”
Gan wenxiu was stunned for a moment. Didn’t he say that he would give it to her after confirming her identity? now that he saw that the girl was beautiful, he couldn’t wait to pull her into the Chen family’s genealogy.
“It’s here,”
Second aunt rolled her eyes at second uncle, took out a red packet from her pocket, and handed it to Shen youchu. it’s our custom here. When you go to an elder’s house for the first time, the elder will give you a red packet. Don’t think that the money is too little. It’s just a small token of appreciation from uncle and aunt.
Shen youchu was about to refuse when Chen hansheng chuckled and said, “”My aunt told you to accept it, so just accept it.”
“Thank you, uncle and aunt.”
Shen youchu was about to stand up and thank him again, but gan wenxiu held her shoulder and took the opportunity to look at her again.”Girl, you’re really pretty.”
“That’s right,”
Chen LAN glanced at Chen hansheng. my brother is such a loser. What right does he have? ”
“Nonsense, who talks about their own brother like that?”
The second aunt hit Chen LAN to stop her from telling the truth.
“Alright, alright,”
Second uncle put on the air of a head of the family. hurry up and clean up the table. Hansheng and little Shen are probably hungry.
“I’m fine. I went to Yangzhou garden in the afternoon and had some snacks on the way.”
uncle, ” Chen hansheng asked with a smile, ” did you quarrel with Auntie just now? ”
“Ang.”
“It’s just a small family matter,” second uncle nodded.
“Don’t quarrel next time.”
Chen hansheng gave a ” friendly ” suggestion. if you really feel uncomfortable, you can beat Chen LAN up to vent your anger. She’s still in school and doesn’t have any financial support. She won’t hold a grudge.
Chen LAN was speechless.
At the dinner table, second uncle and second aunt were especially warm to this ” niece-in-law “. Chen hansheng bickered with Chen LAN as usual. Second aunt also said that she only had classes in the morning the next day, so she could take Shen youchu around Yangzhou in the afternoon.
After dinner, second uncle asked Chen hansheng and Shen youchu to stay at home to rest, but Chen hansheng refused. He still had some things to deal with with with rocket 101.
He walked Shen youchu to her room and bought her some sesame cakes. this is for Hu linyu. She probably hates me now. I’m just next door, so I need to call.
Shen youchu didn’t know about Hu linyu’s painful experience. After pushing the door open, he realized that the light was not on. Hu linyu sat on the bed like a mummy, his eyes staring straight at the TV. The dim and colorful picture kept flashing on her face.
“You’re back?”
Hu linyu glanced at her and asked indifferently.
Shen youchu didn’t turn on the lights and sat down gently beside Hu linyu. She could feel that Hu linyu was in a bad mood and slowly patted her back to comfort her.
“Where did you and your bastard go?”
Hu linyu suddenly asked.
“I went to a garden in the afternoon and went to uncle’s house for dinner in the evening.”
Shen youchu whispered.
Hu linyu’s eyes flickered. it’s the first time that the elders in Northern Jiangsu want to give a red packet to the younger generation. Did they give it? ”
Shen youchu nodded and took out the sesame cake. “How was your time at Yangzhou University?”
“How did I do?”
When Hu linyu heard this, he became agitated. “Chen hansheng said that, didn’t he?”
Shen youchu blinked her eyes. Chen hansheng had claimed that Hu Lin was afraid of the campus environment of Mu yang University and was not willing to go shopping, so he had left her there.
“Liar, you liar!”
Hu linyu stood on the bed, his two short legs jumping hard, as if this was the only way to relieve the depression in his heart. I was just a laborer sold to the black coal kiln in the afternoon. I was so busy that I didn’t have any free time at all. Chen hansheng can lie to you, but why did he lie to me too? ”
“F * ck, why are you so excited?”
Chen hansheng, who was in the room next door, could hear Hu linyu’s roar. He thought to himself, ” I’ll ask second aunt to bring Hu linyu along tomorrow. Otherwise, what if she doesn’t work for me when she returns to the finance department? ”
Just as she was thinking about it, her phone rang. It was Liang meijuan.
“You brought Shen youchu to second uncle’s house today?”
His mother was not polite and asked directly.
that’s right, ” Chen hansheng admitted directly. I’m just freeloading a meal on the way.
“You dog, do you understand the meaning of this?”
I won’t argue with you for now, ” Liang meijuan said impatiently. when are you coming back? ”
I’m so busy. I don’t have time to go home. I’m going to take a shower, mom.
Chen hansheng hung up the phone and lay on the bed. He looked at the ceiling and suddenly laughed.
“Of course I understand the meaning behind it. Isn’t this just finding a balance?”
