Chapter 98 Gaining a wave of favor
The old men around were immediately impressed by the generosity of Fan Jin and Hu Shuiqing.
They had never thought that they would take the initiative to offer to exchange, not to sell to them, but that they could exchange old hens, and at a loss of a few cents per pound.
They were ashamed of this great love!
Mr. Fan Qi patted his nephew on the shoulder and said ashamedly: "Second nephew, I misunderstood you and your niece-in-law! I am ashamed!"
Before, Mrs. Fan came to cry and complained that her younger daughter-in-law was unfilial, her younger son also favored his own daughter-in-law, and he forgot his mother after having a daughter-in-law, and that her son, who she had raised with great difficulty, was raised by her daughter-in-law, etc.
Now it seems that the second nephew and his niece-in-law are people with gullies in their hearts and people with far-sighted vision!
They are not willing to argue with Mrs. Fan at all.
Old Man Xu also sighed, "I misunderstood you in the past. It's not easy for you."
A group of old men simultaneously recalled the rumors they had heard before. Fan's mother and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family wanted to sell Daya and Erya to Dazhu to marry. No wonder they wanted to separate from the family.
They looked at the high walls and courtyards behind them. They moved into the big house not long after they separated from the family. Such capable people were suppressed before they separated from the family. Both daughters were almost sold!
Now that they thought about it, how could it be their fault that Fan's mother couldn't tolerate such a good son and daughter-in-law? It must be Fan's mother making things difficult.
Otherwise, when they lived together, they had nothing. Once they separated from the family, how could they become rich again!
"By the way, your mother said she didn't come today because she wasn't invited?" Seeing the expressions of the crowd, the old village chief had guessed that Fan's mother had not only come to his house to cry, but must have been visited by relatives or relatives.
Some things had to be said in front of everyone. After Fan Jin explained, it was clear who was right and who was wrong.
Fan Jin had invited his mother yesterday, but she said she would not come unless he invited his eldest brother and his family to the banquet!
He made it clear that his eldest brother and his wife were not old and did not have any help, so they were not in the banquet. If they were relatives, they would definitely bring gifts to celebrate the housewarming. If that was the case, it would be fine.
When he heard that he had to bring gifts, his eldest brother's face immediately darkened. His sister-in-law spoke in a sarcastic tone, but he just pretended not to hear it, saying that it was okay to come and visit the house, but there would be no food.
Finally, "I went to invite her yesterday, but my mother said that she felt uncomfortable thinking that my eldest brother still lived in the old house, so she would not come to the banquet;
But the food and drinks could be sent to her house, and it would be the same if she ate at home. Shuiqing had asked Jianghe and the two children to send them there early."
The old men present all showed an expression of incomprehension.
I have seen people who are biased, but Fan's mother is too biased!
What do you mean the eldest brother lives in the old house? That is one of the best brick and tile houses in the village.
When the family was divided, it was given to the eldest son. The second son's family didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain!
Now the second son built a big house with his own ability. As a mother, she is not happy for her youngest son, but feels sad?
What kind of reason is this!
As for the food and drinks being sent to her house, this is really a good thing that she has taken all the good things, very stylish!
The expressions on everyone's faces changed several times, and the big stone hanging in Fan Jin's heart fell to the ground.
Shuiqing doesn't care about her own reputation, but he does.
He can't let his mother ruin Shuiqing's reputation in the village. She is very good and should not be damaged in the slightest because of his mother.
The old village chief leaned on his crutches and hit the ground heavily, saying coldly: "You have done a good job. If you don't want to come, don't come."
Mr. Fan Qi sighed: "You and your niece-in-law will just live your life well in the future."
Others thought that they couldn't do what Fan's mother said, otherwise such a good family would never get ahead.
Then she thought, fortunately these two people separated, otherwise, how could they get the chicken head rice, mushrooms, and rabbits in the future?
This is God's blessing to their Shanshui Village, not letting Fan Jin's family be buried in the hands of Fan's mother!
Fan Jin just wanted to clear Shuiqing's reputation, but he didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good. At that moment, his dark eyes were stained with a sincere smile.
Jiang He, who came back later, shouted that it was time for dinner, and the group turned to the new house.
When they saw Shuiqing again, the expressions on everyone's faces were friendly and admiring.
Shuiqing was confused and turned to look at Fan Jin blankly.
The latter still smiled elegantly and gently, without saying anything.
Shuiqing:... You tell me.
When I first came, these old people, except for the old village chief, were not as friendly as they are now, let alone admiring.
It must be something Fan Jin said outside.
She was a little curious about how Fan Jin changed the attitudes of these old people. You know, people become more stubborn as they get older, and they stubbornly believe that their ideas are the most correct.
How much effort did Fan Jin put in to change their attitude?
But now is not the time to ask this...
"Dajiang Dahe, take your people to sit down!"
"You little ones, there is no room for us here, you can go to the men's table!"
Fan He refused: "Aniang, there are many people smoking over there, I don't want to go, I want to sit with you!"
"I also want to sit at the same table with you, Aniang and big sister!" Fan Jiang is not stupid.
The men's table is full of grandfathers, a table of old men who love to preach. If they go up, they will be scolded.
On the other hand, Aniang's table is full of warm-hearted aunts and sisters. They care about them with smiles and pick up food for them. How comfortable it is.
Fan Hu looked at Shuiqing eagerly, hoping that his mother would soften her heart.
Ling Ran lowered his head, and it was neither right nor wrong.
Shui Qing's heart was as cold and hard as a fish that had been killed for more than ten years, and she did not agree at all: "No!
Granny Xu and the others did not want to sit at that table either, and all came to our side. With the help of the aunts and aunties before, there was no room at all!
Go, the four of you, don't even think about coming!"
The elders in the village not only invited the men, but also the women.
As a result, they were unwilling to sit at the same table with their old man, and would rather squeeze in on their side than go over.
There was no way, she could only temporarily change the big round table to the women, and the eight-immortal table to the men.
It was already crowded, and these four little ones wanted to join in the fun, which was absolutely not allowed!
Fan He pursed his lips, and finally saw that his mother had no room for negotiation, so he had to drag his legs to the men's table.
Shui Qing: ... Haha, you despise them now, and when you are old, the little ones will also despise sitting at the same table with you.
After sending away the four children, Shui Qing happily closed the door and immersed herself in the lively atmosphere of the house.
Facing five large pots of dishes, a group of elderly people swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
They stretched out their chopsticks tremblingly and first picked up the cabbage, but they didn't expect that most of it was fat meat.
There was more fat meat than cabbage!
They swallowed their saliva and thought that Fan Jin's wife was really generous!
This is fat meat.
Fat meat with plenty of oil.
