Chapter 196: The Proud Mother and Daughter
Chapter 196: The Proud Mother and Daughter
Nanchen is also with the old lady. Her son and son-in-law are together, so the old lady feels at ease, and so does Dong’s father!
The plane was parked in the village drying yard, and the people watching the fun surrounded the plane in three circles inside and three circles outside.
Seeing the Dong family members walking towards the plane, the crowd automatically made way for them. A few old men who were good friends with Dong's father came over and asked, "Old Dong, is this plane yours?"
I have never seen the Dong family with so much pomp and circumstance before. When his children came back to celebrate the New Year, they would walk into the village. This gave the villagers an illusion that the Dong family was as poor and low-status as other families in the village. The only difference was that old man Dong was educated, had read a lot of books, and understood a lot of principles. There was nothing else.
But now, the Dong family has suddenly changed from a poor family like them to a wealthy family that can own a plane to travel. This has brought a huge shock to the savers, and many people cannot accept it!
Disperse the crowd to avoid accidental injuries. Many people are still washing. They cursed and said, "Why are you so proud? You just have a few stinky money, but you know how to bully in this small mountain village. If you have the ability, go to the big cities and show off."
After the plane flew away, the crowd had not heard Old Man Dong's reply yet, and they were still asking if the plane was theirs.
Old Dong waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "How could my family afford a private jet? My son and son-in-law were so filial that they rented it from outside just to take my old lady to the hospital for a checkup!"
"What's wrong with your old lady?" someone asked casually when the topic was changed.
"Dong's father replied, 'It's nothing, she just had a fever last night, and I don't know what caused it, so my son and son-in-law are worried and insisted on taking my old lady to the hospital for a check-up!'"
"Oh, so that's how it is. That's because your son and son-in-law are filial and willing to spend so much money on the elderly. Unlike mine, they would refuse to buy a pack of cigarettes for him!"
Father Dong was not a gossiper. Seeing that he had fooled everyone, he immediately retreated, "Well, I'm still busy at home. I won't chat with you guys anymore!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation! Undoubtedly, the biggest topic in Qigou Village during this Spring Festival should be what kind of family the Dong family is.
After seeing the old lady off, Dong Qianqian pretended to be kind and invited Nan Zhaozhao to play in the back mountain, saying that there must be a lot of fun things in the mountain. In fact, what she wanted to do was to find a deserted place and push Nan Zhaozhao down the mountain. If she died from the fall, that would be even better. If not, she would distance herself from the matter and say it was none of her business. Even if they didn't believe it, the thing had already happened and no one could do anything to her. The plan was good, but Nan Zhaozhao just wouldn't take it!
Nan Zhaozhao pointed at the weather outside and replied, "Why don't you go see what the weather is like outside before you say that? It's raining. Do you want to go into the mountains to play?"
"What's the big deal? We can hold an umbrella together!" Dong Qianqian looked down on Nan Zhaozhao and naturally did not admit that Nan Zhaozhao was her cousin. The same was true for Nan Zhaozhao. She felt that Dong Qianqian was not well educated and had bad intentions, so she did not admit that she was her cousin!
"No, if you want to go, go by yourself!"
Seeing that Nan Zhaozhao didn't know what was good for her, Dong Qianqian turned to look at Ms. Dong and asked coquettishly, "Gugu, look at this daughter you adopted. She is so rude. After all, I am her cousin. I asked her to go out with me, but she refused to agree!"
Before Ms. Dong could say anything, Wang Limei spoke up, "Xiangxiang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't be careless when it comes to adopting a child. You're being too casual and frivolous. Look at this girl, she's uneducated and has no manners. Maybe she was sold to someone else as a wife by that poor guy in the mountains, and then she ran away. You'd better be careful not to get yourself into trouble!"
Ms. Dong was chopping meat to prepare frying meatballs. This made her so angry that she really wanted to chop her mouth with a kitchen knife. "Sister-in-law, Xiaobao is my daughter, my biological daughter. For my brother's sake, I won't bother with you now. But if you say this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"How is this possible? You only gave birth to two sons. How come we didn't know when you gave birth to a daughter?"
At this time, Dong's father also spoke up to prove it, "Xiangxiang was indeed pregnant with her third child back then. Due to various reasons, the child was lost and was only found a few days ago. So Xiaobao is indeed our child!"
"Lost? That person must not have been raised in a good family. He has no manners or manners. His quality is simply not good!"
Ms. Dong was really angry. She slammed the kitchen knife down on the chopping board, pointed at Wang Limei and started to curse, "Wang Limei, I have tolerated you for a long time. If you can't stand my family, you can go back now, to your proud golden nest in Kyoto!"
"Dong Xiangxiang, I think you should get out. It is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. How can you, an old girl who has been married for decades, bring your family to your parents' home to celebrate the New Year!" What Wang Limei said was indeed a traditional custom throughout history. Ms. Dong was speechless and could only use Dong Changping to pressure her.
"You, Wang Limei, you are awesome. You are so tough even when my brother comes back!"
"What? Did I say something wrong? Do you know that the place where you are standing now is my in-laws' home, my husband's home. What belongs to my husband is mine. What qualifications do you, a married woman from outside, have to talk to me... mmm!" She was enjoying scolding when suddenly her mouth was sealed with a closure talisman. She was so angry that she wanted to tear Nan Zhaozhao apart alive!
"You'd better shut up, it's so noisy!"
Dong Qianqian saw that her mother was at a disadvantage and hurried over to help, "Nan Zhaozhao, what are you doing? Hurry up and take that broken thing off my mother's face!"
Dong Shaoqing and Dong Shaonian also spoke at this time, "No need to take it, cousin, just leave it like this, my mom is really too noisy!"
"Big brother!"
"What big brother? You've been spoiled by our mom. You're mean and sarcastic. You don't respect your elders or care for the young. You're also selfish. Sometimes I really wish you and mom weren't part of our family!"
"Second brother, why are you helping them? You are really asking for trouble!"
"Who are they? They are our real aunts. No matter if my cousin is her biological daughter or not, as long as my aunt and uncle recognize her as their biological daughter, she is our real cousin and we should treat her well!"
"You...you guys!" Dong Qianqian stomped her feet in anger, but she could do nothing about it. They were her biological brothers, she couldn't just abandon them!
Father Dong sighed, not knowing what to do. She felt sorry for her daughter, but didn't want to help her bully her daughter-in-law. It was already unfair enough that she was willing to marry his son despite her status as a Kyoto resident. She was also willing to accompany her son back to celebrate the New Year with them, so she didn't want to offend either side!
Dong Shaoqing and Dong Shaonian felt so distressed when they saw their grandfather like this, and they stood up for their grandfather, saying, "Mom, logically, you are our daughter-in-law, and you should be the one to take care of all the big and small things in the family. You said that my aunt is a married daughter, so when they come back, they are guests, and guests should do nothing but sit and wait for food and drink. But what's the situation now? You have reversed your roles. Haven't you noticed that you have done nothing since you came back yesterday? You have been idle all day, dissatisfied with this and that, and even pointed fingers and said this and that. Do you think you are embarrassed?"
