Chapter 224 Why do you just eat and not use your brain?
Li Xiao'e didn't know where she went wrong. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was seen through. She asked unwillingly, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, that's fine. How can you slander me?!
I am truly thinking about your Shen family and I don't want you to be deceived, so I said those words from the bottom of my heart. What right do you have to question me?"
Liu Yan: "Just because we are of different generations, we have no right to interfere in other people's family affairs!
If you have any opinion about Bohang's wife, you can go and talk to Bohang's parents about it. We can't come to the city once a year, and we are several generations apart. Who am I to meddle in their affairs?
Don’t say we can’t control it. Even if we can, we won’t. Yanhua seems to like Zhou Gui very much, so Zhou Gui’s words will carry weight in the family.
If there is a disaster in my hometown again and I need Yanhua and the others to help me, and Zhou Gui finds out that we are spreading rumors behind my back, what do you think we can gain?"
Li Xiao'e: "...You can't gamble the future of the Shen family for a little profit!"
Xu Yingzi glanced at Li Xiao'e and sighed, "I see you are not young anymore, why do you just eat and not use your brain?!
We've been talking for a long time, but you can't hear the deeper meaning of our words?
Our Shen family got a good daughter-in-law today. I'm in a good mood, so I want to argue with you and find out where you did wrong.
Chunheng and Yanhua are both high-level intellectuals, people who are good at reading, have sharp brains and good vision. Look at their family, the eldest daughter-in-law and son-in-law, which one of them is not an outstanding person?
Although Bohang is a little naughty, he is definitely a filial child. I don't believe that he would choose a wife without the consent of his parents.
Did you see the smiles on Chun Heng and Yan Hua's faces? Just from this, it shows that they like Zhou Gui and approve of this daughter-in-law.
When we entered the city yesterday, we inquired about Zhou Gui's situation. He has a good background, is a college student, and currently works at the tax bureau.
My father, brother, sisters and younger sister all have formal jobs, and my older sister and younger sister are also college students. I'm afraid there are not many families with such a family background in Jiangcheng.
Look at the many boys in the Zhou family. Only a family blessed by God can give birth to so many boys. It shows that their family tradition is good and the feng shui is good, so God will bless them.
Zhou Gui was born in such a family. Even if she is not a college student, her character will not be too bad. If she becomes the daughter-in-law of our Shen family, the Shen family will only get better and better, and we will also be able to benefit from it.
You just praised your daughter to the skies. I want to ask, what is her education level? How many people in your family have graduated? Where do they work?"
Li Xiao'e smiled awkwardly: "You are going off topic. How can we only look at academic qualifications when choosing a daughter-in-law? My man went to the same university as your Shen Chunheng, and now he works in the same unit. They have a very good relationship."
Xu Yingzi: "We have a good relationship, but you are still making up stories about him? Aren't you a little shameless?"
Li Xiao'e: "...I respect you as an elder, how can you say such things, it's so hurtful!"
Xu Yingzi: "If I hadn't seen you as my junior, I wouldn't have given you those honest words. You can't tell the difference between good and bad, and you're trying to turn the tables on me?"
Liu Yan: "You have evil intentions. Don't talk to us. Go away."
Li Xiao'e snorted coldly, "You are the ones who can't tell good from bad! When Zhou Gui ruins the Shen family, you will know that what I said is true and I didn't lie to you."
Liu Yan: "I think you will never give up! What you said is that you are just coveting Zhou Gui's dowry!
To tell you the truth, we confirmed with Yanhua that their family only gave a bicycle, a watch, a sewing machine, and 200 yuan as a betrothal gift. The Zhou family gave all these things as dowry and did not keep any of them.
The quilt, bed sheet, quilt cover, and boxes were all given to their daughter by the Zhou family. This shows that the Zhou family is well-off, and the parents are reasonable and love their daughter. They are not comparable to a narrow-minded and money-hungry person like you!"
Li Xiao'e said angrily, "I don't believe it! After my daughter gets married, she belongs to someone else's family. Unless that family is extremely wealthy and a capitalist, which parent would give their daughter so many things as a dowry?"
Xu Yingzi: "This is the difference between you two. You favor sons over daughters, but that doesn't mean the Zhou family is the same. With your thoughts, Yanhua was right not to choose you as her in-law."
Liu Yan: "We are not the same kind of people, so don't gossip about us in the future."
Li Xiao'e was so ashamed and angry at what the two said, and she couldn't find any other reason to refute, so she had to move her stool angrily and go back to her own table...
After the meal started, Shen Chunheng took Shen Bohang to each table to toast relatives and friends.
When they arrived at the Shi family's table, Shi Jinshan said all kinds of congratulatory words with a smile on his face.
Li Xiao'e had a gloomy face and didn't say a word the whole time because she was humiliated by Xu Yingzi and Liu Yan, and because of the anger she had suffered before.
Shi Chunhong looked at Shen Bohang, who was in high spirits, with mixed feelings. She wanted to give him a smile and say a few words of congratulations, but she really couldn't open her mouth, so she had to eat in silence.
Shen Chunheng exchanged a few pleasantries with Shi Jinshan, then took Shen Bohang to toast the next table.
Shen Bohang saw the attitudes of Li Xiao'e and Shi Chunhong, but he didn't care. He didn't care what these people thought, as they were not related to him at all. It was enough for him to have Zhou Gui...
After the banquet, Zhou Rong returned to Chang'an with other members of the wedding party.
Before leaving, Zhou Rong gently hugged Zhou Gui and told her to live a peaceful life. If she encountered problems that could not be solved or felt wronged, she should go home and seek help.
Zhou Rong also secretly gave Zhou Gui a book he bought from a peddler, saying that she might need it in the evening...
Xu Yingzi and Liu Yan will not return home until tomorrow. In order to curry favor with Qin Yanhua, they need to get what they want as soon as possible.
After the two returned to the Shen family, they vividly interpreted to Shen Chunheng and Qin Yanhua what Li Xiao'e had said to them.
Qin Yanhua's face darkened after hearing this: "Did she really say those wicked words?!"
Liu Yan: "Of course! We are not familiar with her, so there is no need to frame her. You live close to her, and her husband and Chun Heng work in the same unit, so you have many opportunities to meet each other. You have to be careful of this kind of villain and don't let her family harm you."
Shen Chunheng smiled and said, "Mrs. Li is a bit talkative, but she is not a bad person. Jinshan is an honest man. He is busy with work and rarely takes care of family affairs. I will remind him to do some work for Mrs. Li when it is convenient for him to stop gossiping about our family."
Xu Yingzi said: "There are many people in this world who chant the Buddha's name in front of others but chant the curse of death behind their backs!
You've also been through a lot, so you don't need a country girl like me to teach you how to be cautious of others.
As the saying goes, people of the same family are alike. Your good friend has been with Mrs. Li for so many years and has given birth to several children. How could he not know what kind of person she is?
When Mrs. Li came to us and gossiped about your family, he was sitting not far away and did not stop her, which means he approved of it. These two must have been in cahoots with each other for a long time.
You are the most promising person in our Shen family. I can't bear to see you get cheated, so I'll say a few words to you. If you want to listen, keep it in your heart. If you don't want to listen, forget it and just treat it as my nagging."
Shen Chunheng pondered for a moment and said, "I've taken note of Aunt Ying's words and will properly handle the relationship between the two families."
Xu Yingzi: "Okay."
