“Su Mei, are you thirsty? Just in time, I have homemade canned pears at home, I’ll take you to try them?” Finally, the wife of the eldest, Xiao Guoliang, was the first to sit up.
Xiao Su Mei did not react for a while, and was slightly stunned, wondering when her sister-in-law had become so polite, her sarcastic face had made Xiao Su Mei’s memory deep.
But before Xiao Su Mei could say anything, I heard the fifth Xiao Su Pei giggle: “Sister-in-law, I know my little sister’s taste best, she doesn’t seem to like sweet things too much, yes, I made some glutinous rice sausages at home earlier, I remember my little sister used to like them the most …… little sister, I left them in the car I’ve left the stuff in the car, why don’t you come with me to get it?”
“Old Five, Su Mei has just sat down, you should not let her work.” The old lady said.
“Mother, it’s alright, the stuff isn’t heavy, I just haven’t seen little sister for a long time and want to talk to her.” Xiao Supe said with a smile.
Xiao Su’e, the fourth oldest, opened her mouth to say something, but she wanted to say something but stopped. Seeing her like this, the man sitting beside her hurriedly touched her, but Xiao Su’e’s face showed a difficult look.
The oldest couple, Xiao Guoqing, however, was eyeing the situation and sitting there in an old-fashioned manner without saying a word, but from time to time they made a wink to Xiao Su Mei, as if to hint at something.
It was only at this point that Xiao Sumei finally saw the doorway.
Dare I say, these brothers and sisters were so enthusiastic about her, but not out of the affection between them, but because they wanted to please themselves.
The indifference and sarcasm back then had made her feel no trace of warmth from her family, and now these people’s ingratiation was also extremely hard for her.
These people, have they never treated her as their own family?
Ji Feng looked on coldly, but in his heart he knew very well that there were many siblings in the countryside, living conditions were not too good, and they had not received much cultural education, especially after they had set up their own families, the kind of kinship between each other was still there, but it was impossible to say how strong it was, especially for the older generation.
The mother had not seen them for many years and had long since lost her original affection for them.
It was sad to say.
“Su Mei, don’t listen to their nonsense, just sit here and talk to me, don’t go anywhere.” The old lady couldn’t stand it anymore, seeing Xiao Su Mei in a difficult position, she couldn’t help but say.
“Hmm.”
Xiao Su Mei nodded, but never mentioned going out with them, she knew that these people wanted to call her out, just wanted to talk to her alone about asking for her help, and also wanted to get ahead of the others.
When the others saw that the old lady had intervened, they said nothing more, because after all, these brothers and sisters had to take care of each other’s faces.
However, the siblings did not say anything, but the daughters-in-law could not help themselves, seeing how prosperous the Lao Er family was, buying cars and houses, and even having spare money to buy a house for the old man and wife.
“Mother, it’s not right for you to say that.” The elder Xiao Guoqing’s wife couldn’t help but bristle and say, “Su Mei is here to see you, but we can always talk to her, right?”
“Yes. Sister-in-law is right.”
“Stop it, all of you!” The old lady stomped her foot in anger, “Look what you’ve become, all of you. Aren’t you afraid that the children will look at you and laugh?”
“We’re just thinking of the children!”
Xiao Guoliang’s wife said, “Look at my family, Yuan Gong, he can’t find a good job, he wants to start a business but he doesn’t have the capital, do you want him to go on like this for the rest of his life? Mother, you also want your grandson to be successful, don’t you?”
The old lady stopped talking.
As the saying goes, the youngest son and the oldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.
The old lady did love him, and the old man loved him the most. Now that the oldest daughter-in-law was using this as an excuse, the old lady really couldn’t deny it.
Seeing that the elder sister-in-law had moved her son out, the others also spoke of their young children.
“Look at Yuan Hui, the second brother’s family, he is going to school in the city, that condition is much better than the countryside, our family can’t do that ……”
“That’s right, mother, you can’t be too biased ……”
Ji Feng looked at the rowdy scene and couldn’t help but shake his head and grin, “Heh.”
Xiao Su Mei also looked at the frown, can’t help but secretly sigh, this family can really …… make her really don’t know what to say.
The old lady was also embarra*sed, turned her head to look at Xiao Su Mei, hesitantly said: “Su Mei, you look at ……”
Xiao Su Mei could not help but shake her head and said, “Mother, this is really not a good thing to do. You don’t understand my situation, I actually had some trouble making a trip out.”
As Ji Zhenhua’s wife, Xiao Su Mei wanted to go out that will certainly alarm a lot of people, there must be a guard around to do so, now followed by a guard, this is already a breakthrough, Xiao Su Mei does not like to trouble others, so she generally try not to go out.
As for helping, it was even more troublesome, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but she knew that she couldn’t.
“Su Mei, come here.”
Just then, the old man’s voice suddenly came from the hall.
Xiao Su Mei stood up as soon as she heard it, said ‘Father is calling me’, and hurried to the hall.
It was not known what the old man was talking about with Xiao Sumei in the hall room, but just a few moments later, the old man could not help but coldly snort: ”Humph! You really have hardened your wings ……”
Boom!
Ji Feng stomped his foot on the ground outside, his face sunken, and he stood up violently.
Bai Zhu hurriedly pulled his sleeve: “Ji Shao, Madam explained that she wouldn’t let you be impulsive, so calm down.”
Ji Feng shook his head and sat down again.
And at this time when the others took a look at Ji Feng’s fire, at once that group of relatives who were originally whispering all immediately shut up and looked at each other for a few moments.
Not long after, Xiao Su Mei came out of the hall, but her face was not too good, followed by the old man also came out of the hall, came to the courtyard and said, “I just told Su Mei, several brothers and sisters she can not help, but the little children underneath, she can not care.”
Ji Feng immediately looked at his mother, but saw a hint of helplessness on her face, he immediately became angry and gave the old man a look, unable to help but frown.
But when the others heard this, they couldn’t help but rejoice, all wanting to get over and say a few words to Xiao Su Mei.
“So, how do you guys want my mother to help?” But at this time, Ji Feng asked indifferently.
“……”
Everyone was stunned.
Ji Feng sat behind the gate, slowly smoking a cigarette, and asked, “Should I give money directly, or help in some other way?”
The old man said, “It’s fine to give money, but it’s best to find them a good job.”
“That’s a good deal.”
Ji Feng nodded slowly and said, “According to reason, when our family is developed, it’s all right in itself to help our relatives, but there’s one thing I want to know, who’s family needs help, all of you? Which of your families can’t eat or are you having a hard time making ends meet?”
“……”
Seeing that the crowd was a bit dazed, Ji Feng smiled lightly, casually put out his cigarette and said, “As I see it, except for the third uncle’s family, which is living in some difficulty, everyone else is living an okay life, right? Well, I see the clothes you are wearing, they are not bad at all! Besides, even if Third Uncle’s family is living in poor conditions, that’s still his own doing, right?”
“Little Feng!”
Xiao Sumei chided, “What are you talking about!”
Ji Feng smiled, “I just don’t quite understand, since each of your families can’t worry about food and clothing, how do you want us to help?”
The old man said, “They don’t worry about food and drink, but the little children down there don’t have a good future yet ……”
“How can I help?” Ji Feng said, “What good prospects can I give them?”
“Isn’t your family well-off, it shouldn’t be hard to find a good job for them, right?” The old man asked.
“Ugh!”
Ji Feng shook his head and said, “It’s not hard to arrange an errand, even if I keep them it’s not a big deal, but ……”
He smiled faintly, “On what basis?”
The old man was stunned, “What on what basis?”
Ji Feng asked, “Why should I keep them? Is it really that easy to find a good job? Are they up to the task? Most importantly, why should I help them?”
The old man choked for a moment.
Xiao Sumei was just about to chide, when she heard Ji Feng say, “I would like to ask you all, from the time we entered the house until now, has anyone ever asked a single question about how my mother’s health is, has anyone ever cared about her for a moment? Relatives, is that what it is?”
The group of people were suddenly said to be blue and white for a while, and Xiao Sumei was so uncomfortable in her heart that she glared at Ji Feng repeatedly.
But Ji Feng but as if ignoring the general, he must finish his words today, originally Ji Feng are no longer care about the previous things, but since coming to the Xiao family manor after what he saw, let him really is too disappointed, to put it nicely some this is called rivers and mountains easy to change nature hard to change, to put it nicely hard words ……
“My money is not a big wind, I do not owe you anything!”
Ji Feng said in a deep voice: “The reason why I helped my second uncle, that is because my second uncle is an honest and honest person, and, back then when everyone called me a wild seed and a B*****d, only my second uncle could still give me a mouthful of food, I repay the favor, this one is not right?”
Seeing Ji Feng’s harsh eyes sweeping by, no one dared to make contact with his gaze.
Ji Feng suddenly smiled: “I wonder, where did you guys get your bottom from? Now you can actually say such things!”
The group of people were all embarra*sed by Ji Feng’s words, and none of them could hold their faces up.
What had they done back then, and how could they themselves not be clear about it?
Originally, seeing that Xiao Sumei and Ji Feng were talking and laughing with them after they came this time, they had deliberately faded away the previous matters themselves – people could always remember other people’s mistakes deeply, but could easily forget their own mistakes.
However, Ji Feng’s words were like a resounding slap in the face, slapping them hard and unmercifully in the face.
