âWhat? Youâre getting married next year? Invite me.â
âIâll go too, Iâll go too!â
Everyone started discussing among themselves, completely forgetting Liu Meiâs words.
Liu Mei was so angry that she was about to go crazy. However, Wu Jiang joined in the fun at this moment and said, âChief Zuo, when are you planning to get married next year? I must go and attend the wedding!â
When Liu Mei heard this, she kicked Wu Jiang hard. âUseless thing!â Then, she entered the house.
Everyone was even more dumbfounded. A warm-hearted auntie carried the mentality of watching a show and asked Wu Jiang, âWhatâs wrong with your wife?â
Wu Jiangâs expression was ugly, but he did not dare to tell the truth. âDonât ask. My wife is angry with me.â
âOh dear! Go back and coax her. If Iâm not wrong, itâs because of our section chief, right?â
The auntieâs voice was not soft. Almost all the colleagues in the family courtyard heard her. Everyone whispered and knew what was going on, but they did not dare to speak in front of Song Yao.
Although it was just a small scandal, wouldnât he become a sinner in Zuo Huoâs eyes if he caused the couple to quarrel because of this small scandal?
Everyone smiled and chatted for a while before shaking their heads and leaving.
That night, Zuo Huo called home and said that he would bring his girlfriend, Song Yao, back for dinner tomorrow and discuss marriage.
Guan Rong was very angry at her sonâs act of acting first and reporting later. However, who asked the old couple to owe this son too much?
Moreover, Zuo Huo was already at the age to talk about marriage. There was nothing bad about meeting the woman.
After Guan Rong hung up the phone, her husband, Zuo Jie, came over with the newspaper. âI heard from you in the bedroom just now that our son is bringing his girlfriend home for dinner?â
Guan Rong opened the jar of hand cream. âYour ears are quite useful!â
Zuo Jie smiled. âThatâs our only son! Although I was in the wrong back then and left him with Xiaolin, itâs been so many years. Heâs already at the age where he should get a wife! I wonder where this girl is from. Is she virtuous?â
Guan Rong pursed her lips. âI heard that sheâs not from the city. As for her looks, itâs hard to say! If you ask me, why donât we introduce him to someone of equal social status? Who knows what the women outside are thinking!â
âWhat you said is wrong! What can our son do if he likes her?â Zuo Jie put down the newspaper and said, âNo matter what the girl looks like, as parents, we only need to take the money. Donât worry about anything else. Our children and grandchildren will have their own blessingsâ¦â
Guan Rong glared at Zuo Jie. âI really donât know if youâre still Little Huoâs biological father! How can you think that way? No! I have to take good care of this daughter-in-law tomorrow!â
Just as the old couple was arguing about meeting their daughter-in-law, a call came in.
Only then did Guan Rong put down the hand cream in her hand and answer the call.
âHello? Itâs Mei? Whatâs the matter?â
On the other end of the phone, Liu Meiâs cries could be heard. âAuntie, youâre still awake? Iâm sorry to disturb you so late at night. Itâs all my fault. Itâs all my fault⦠Boohoo.
Guan Rong hated it when people didnât say anything. She said impatiently, âIf you have something to say, just say it. I still have to go out for a square dance later.â
âWell⦠itâs like this, Auntie. Section Chief Zuoâs girlfriend came over today. I wanted to check on him, so I met her. I didnât expect that not only was she not good-looking, but she was also remarried and had a child. I only said a few words to her, and she started hitting me. How can such a woman enter the Zuo family? Sob, Auntie, you have to think carefully. â
Liu Mei exaggerated what had happened today to Guan Rong. As she spoke, she felt smug in her heart.
As long as Zuo Huoâs mother did not agree to this marriage, Zuo Huo could forget about marrying Song Yao in this lifetime! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, when Guan Rong heard Liu Meiâs words, she pursed her lips.
She had a child in her first marriage and was a villager. Although she would not agree to such a person entering the family, this woman was still her sonâs partner. Although she did not like her, it was not for outsiders to look down on her!
âHuh? Youâre not a relative of Huo. Why do you need to check on him?â
Liu Mei did not expect Guan Rong to say this either. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. âAuntie, I didnât. I just wanted to help Zuoâ¦â
Guan Rong interrupted Liu Mei. âYou know very well what you said to her. Donât accuse the guilty first, right?â
Liu Mei was so angry that her eyes turned red. âAuntie, I just wanted to remind you.â
âThereâs no need for that!â Guan Rong said calmly. âAlso, Little Huo will be back with his partner tomorrow. I have eyes.. I can see for myself!â
