Because of my sip of tea, the atmosphere in the entire living room became eerily silent, everyone's eyes were focused on my face, and Mrs. Xu's eyes suddenly sank as he stared at me and snorted coldly: "What? Head, don't you look down on our Xiaojie again?"

"I didn't mean that!" I smiled wryly.

"Grandpa..." Xu Jie gently pushed the old man in a coquettish tone.

"I know it's not good for women to stay, but Xiaojie, you are not an ordinary woman. Grandpa has to tell you about this. Men can't be used to it—" Mrs. Xu snorted with a stern face, and then paused in his hand. The cane snorted coldly, "It's okay if you don't agree with my life, but you have to come up with a life yourself? I blamed me for urging you a few years ago, and it will be assembled after that year?"

For a while, the atmosphere became a little depressing!

From being threatened to being forced to marry, in just a few months, the reality of human feelings is nothing like this, right?

After Xu Jie and I looked at each other, she finally let out a sigh on her own initiative, then shook her head and said, "I won't get married!"

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Xu stared at Xu Jie in amazement and asked, "Didn't Youlong tell me, isn't that the relationship between you two? Did you make a mistake?"

Xu Jie still shook his head and said, "We are in a relationship, but I don't plan to get married. Let's not mention my current position. There is an age gap between me and him. This is something that can't be overcome. But outsiders always say it? Grandpa, you are not always the best reputation, I think... this is good! "

"Nonsense——" The cane slammed heavily on the ground and made a dull sound, and the old man was so angry that the age spots on his face were shaking, "Since it's a concubine, it's time to get married, and it's right not to get married. My Xu family's reputation is not good, what's so great about being older? As the saying goes, the first female college student is the wife, and the third girl holds the golden brick. You are only a few years older, so why should you care if you have a clear conscience?"

"Grandpa, is this your true opinion?" Xu Jie frowned and smiled bitterly, "I'm not three years older than Xiao Yan, I'm older than him—six years!"

"What's wrong with being six years old? Isn't he happy?" The old man snorted coldly, staring at me with his eyebrows crossed, "If you weren't happy, why did you cling to my Xiaojie in the first place?"

I frowned, and before I could speak, Xu Jie hurriedly replied, "It wasn't him who clinged to me, but I fell in love with him first, so I also proposed the idea of ​​not wanting to get married today. After all, it's a matter of my own feelings, and I want to make my own decisions!"

"Xiaojie..." Xu Jie's mother hummed while wiping her tears, "You are confused!"

"I'm so **** off!" Xu Jie's father stomped his feet in anger, turned around and left!

There was a lot of criticism and accusations in the whole living room. Everyone was blaming Xu Jie for being confused. I gritted my teeth and almost couldn't help but stand up and say I was willing to marry Xu Jie. A sentence came out: "I don't care, as long as you are still the daughter of the Xu family, since you have recognized the relationship, you have to get married, unless you are not from the Xu family!"

"Are you trying to arrange an arranged marriage?" Xu Jie stared at the old man with tears in his eyes!

"Jie'er...how can you say that about your grandfather?"

At this time, it seemed that one of Xu Jie's uncles stood up and pointed at Xu Jie with anger on his face: "Everyone knows that there is someone in our Xu family who is an official in Jingzhou. Thing! But... what you said today is wrong, how can a woman not marry a husband? Especially your status, if you find a man but don't get married, will others say it?"

"yes!"

"You are confused, Xiaojie!"

"Don't be so stubborn, listen to Grandpa!"

"..."

Everyone, you said my word, a meeting seemed to turn into a denunciation meeting, and Xu Jie became the center of the denunciation. At this time, I don't know which woman suddenly said: "Now everyone knows that this kid is a A rich man, if you don't make sure of your relationship with him, won't your cousin's bid fail?"

"What bidding?" Xu Jie turned around and stared at the middle-aged woman who had slurred and frowned, "Aunt Wu, isn't my cousin studying in the engineering school? How did it get involved in bidding?"

"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Jie's fifth uncle suddenly scolded angrily.

"Am I wrong?" The woman was not a soft-spoken woman, and snorted coldly as she raised her neck and bumped into her husband, "Yesterday, you said that Xiaojie found a powerful husband, and she even **** up. The news from Qinghang Province, as long as Xiaojie nods, our Xiaoliang's business will be completed properly, why? Now your whole family is cowardly? They don't give you face!"

"If you want me to say, isn't it a money-losing goods sent to the door?"

"I'm going to **** you-"

The words of Aunt Wu came out, and Xu Jie's fifth uncle finally couldn't help but slap him and slap him out, and with this slap, the whole living room jumped up and down, and the old man didn't even slap his cane. After people made sense of it, things became more and more troublesome, and they all said what was in their hearts!

There are sour words!

There are also jealous!

Others are relying on the old to sell the old and get angry!

In short, in the mouths of these people, Xu Jie has more or less occupied the family's relationship and benefits over the years. When she went to the Chinese medicine hospital to be the director, someone took care of the relationship. When Xu Jie went to Liangcheng, the family obviously Xu Youlong didn't talk about it after he contributed, but when Xu Jie went to Binzhou for development later, the family also entrusted the relationship. The road was paved, but Xu Jie went to Jingzhou ahead of schedule, wasting the good relationship and relationship between the family and the family. Efforts, now don't turn around to help the family, even if...

He also took a stinky boy who didn't know his origin to slap his face to the family. Isn't this ungrateful?

Xu Youlong is not here today, and the people in the living room are basically people who are angry with me. The old man didn't calm down all of a sudden, and everyone couldn't hold back. After scolding Xu Jie, he started scolding me. Xu Qingsi was kind. He defended me a couple of times, and was kicked out after being slapped by my father!

A mess of porridge!

Instead, Xu Jie's face and expression appeared to be very calm and stood beside me watching this scene, until everyone was tired, and the old man was so angry that he broke a teapot, the scene stopped a little, Xu Jie took me by the hand. He walked up to the old man and sighed: "I think the kindness of my family is more important than Mount Tai, but there are some things I have always disagreed with. As the saying goes, the old people want to raise children to prevent their old age, but from the beginning If you raise this son, your purpose is to help yourself in the old age, then you regard kindness as an investment. There are always times when investment is wrong and at a loss, right? Do you blame others, or do you blame yourself?"

"What is the meaning of family?" Xu Jie's eyes were red, and she looked a little choked, "I can't choose the family I was born in, and I can't choose who my relatives are, but I don't think home and family should be If you cultivate like this, you must ask for something in return, right?"

"It's a family member, if you don't say anything, I see it in my eyes and heart, and I will do my best!"

"It's not my family. Even if you put a knife on my neck and ask me to do something against my conscience, I won't blink!"

"Our family is not bad compared to many others. Is it bad money or bad name?"

Xu Jie looked at her parents and shook her head: "I used to want to be a doctor, but I didn't like the intrigue in the officialdom. I thought that if my medical skills were better, my parents would get old and sick in the future, and someone in my family was sick. Find me. I can help you, but have you thought about this?"

"You asked me to become an official just for the interests and purposes of the family, and there is no limit to greed?" Xu Jie's tears streamed down, her shoulders trembled and she cried, "There are so many people arrested on the TV news every day, if you If you treat me as a daughter and a relative, why would you have the heart to let me do this and that just to satisfy your greed for profit?"

"Is this...a family member?" Xu Jie was already weeping a little bit at the end.

In the silence of the room, everyone's faces changed wonderfully. Some were touched, but some walked away after hearing this. I don't know who said, "I don't know what to do, let's go", and then the whole living room The people inside have all disappeared one after another!

There was a lot of talk from downstairs!

Only Xu Jie's parents and the old grandfather of the Xu family were left behind!

Xu Jie's mother came over and hugged Xu Jie and cried together, while Xu Jie's father sighed heavily, shook his head and turned away!

"Then who...you take Xiaojie out..." The old lady of the Xu family pointed to Xu Jie's mother, then sat in the chair tiredly and pointed at me, "Let's talk to him!"
