Chapter 16: Shooting at the mother-in-law!

Of course, that is if she is really my mother.

The next few days passed very peacefully. I went to the store to look at the store and passed the boring time by myself. When the time was almost up, I went home. This kind of life of three points and one line has been repeated, and Wang Ermazi has not contacted me.

But one day, an accident happened. This surprise was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

Xiaoxiao, my girlfriend called me.

"Xiaojun, I have to tell you something."

This time, Xiaoxiao didn’t greet me, nor did he hesitate. She just said this with deep exhaustion in her tone.

I had a bad premonition, but there was nothing I could do about it. I just nodded silently and said, "I understand. Just tell me. I'll listen."

"...I might go on a blind date."

"..."

I took a deep breath, but I still felt a little breathless.

"When was it decided?"

Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and then said in a low tone, "It's not my decision... It's my mother. As you know, she has always been opposed to the two of us..."

"So, she asked you to go on a blind date?" Maybe it was because I was in a very bad mood when I spoke, and my tone was also filled with anger.

"Well... if you have the money in hand to pay the down payment, maybe it will be different... But now, I can't think of a better way."

Only then did I understand what Xiaoxiao meant when she called me a few days ago.

She asked me how business was and whether I was busy, and she didn't say anything more after that. And I'm afraid, at that time, Xiaoxiao had already learned about her mother's desire for her to go on a blind date.

I'm not surprised, because Xiaoxiao's mother is a person who is fully capable of doing such a thing.

Xiaoxiao seemed to want to appease me and said, "Xiaojun, you know me, even if I go on a blind date, I won't really have anything happen to you... But, I think it's better to tell you for now. ."

"Yeah, I know."

"Actually, I have thought about whether I should hide it from you and just close my eyes and solve it quickly... However, I have considered this matter from your perspective and still feel that I should not do this."

After a pause, Xiaoxiao whispered, "If you go on a blind date with another woman without telling me, I think the mood will be very bad. We are all the same, right?"

"Of course, you did the right thing... Xiaoxiao, when did the blind date happen?"

"In three days, what happened?"

"Nothing, let me ask."

"Xiaojun, don't take it too seriously. My mother and I made it very clear that we just want to meet and have a meal. After the meeting, I will explain to the other person that I have a boyfriend."

Hearing Xiaoxiao say this, I felt a little angry.

"No, your mother even heard what you said, but she still asked you to go on a blind date?"

Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "It's not like you don't know that my mother has a very stubborn temper - her idea is that the other person is so good that I will fall in love with him as soon as we meet, but how is that possible?"

There shouldn't be a man in the world who can still remain happy when he hears that his girlfriend is going on a blind date with another man. I'm the same at the moment.

"Xiaoxiao...you shouldn't be fascinated after meeting, right?"

"Look what you said, huh."

"No, no, don't be angry, I just asked, my dear wife, I was wrong."

"It's just this once, it won't happen again."

We laughed and joked with each other for a while, then hung up the phone.

Actually, it's pretty good now, at least Xiaoxiao is on my side and her heart is on my side. In fact, in this case, I have no choice. As long as Xiaoxiao's mind changes, we will completely fail.

If you think about this kind of thing, you will understand. My mother-in-law firmly disagrees, and I have no money, so the decision-making power of the matter actually lies in Xiaoxiao's hands.

After that, I thought about this matter for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved.

On another day, I got up early, not to go to the store, but to find a set of clothes that looked the most appropriate to wear, got on the bus, and prepared to go somewhere.

The fact that Xiaoxiao was forced by her mother-in-law to go on a blind date really aroused me. I knew that even if it was a theory in person, I would most likely not be able to talk to my mother-in-law.

But if you keep shrinking your neck and act like a turtle at this time, there is nothing you can do about green hair growing on your head one day. I can’t blame anyone but myself for being so useless.

I have to have a good argument with my mother-in-law. I can't argue with you even if I don't steam the steamed buns!

I had been to Xiaoxiao's hometown several times before. I knew that my mother-in-law had always lived there, so I went there as I was familiar with the road. And I didn’t tell Xiaoxiao about this.

If I tell Xiaoxiao, according to her character, she will definitely stop me from finding her mother in every possible way. It’s not that I’m afraid that my mother-in-law and I will have a huge quarrel, but that I’m afraid that I’ll be hurt by her mother’s words.

After arriving at my mother-in-law's house, I immediately knocked on the door and looked at the fruit in my hand. I also strengthened my determination and vowed not to look back until I achieved my goal.

"Who is it?"

The mother-in-law's unique high-pitched voice also sounded. Before the door was opened, I heard her voice from a distance.

After the door opened, I immediately showed a smiling face and said, "Hello, aunt, I'm here to see you."

"Hey, isn't this the little broom star of the Zhang family?"

My mother-in-law was startled at first, and then she sneered when she realized it was me. She glanced at me carefully up and down. Her cold gaze, as if she was looking at a piece of merchandise, made me very uncomfortable and at the same time very uncomfortable. humiliation.

Although we haven't started talking about it yet, I feel inexplicably that there is not much hope in this matter.

Sometimes, people like to say that they can’t succeed because they don’t work hard enough. But in fact, more often than not, it really can’t be done.

I feel like this now, very uncomfortable.

"Looking at what you are wearing, you look like a dog. You must have spent a long time dressing up, right?" the mother-in-law said with a chuckle.

I could only force myself to smile, not knowing how to answer such a question. His attitude was too obvious, and he made it clear that he wanted to disgust me.

I know how to play disgusting tricks, and if I really want to play, I won't lose to an old lady. Today's young people are so stubborn, they don't even use a single curse word when swearing. If this mother-in-law were an unknown woman, I would make her so angry that she would vomit blood.

But that's not possible now. You have to pretend to be a grandson. Whether you can get a wife depends on her attitude.

"Okay, come in first."

After saying that, the mother-in-law twisted the waist of the bucket and walked inside. It is already noon now, so the mother-in-law is probably preparing lunch, and the house is filled with the smell of rice.

In addition to the father-in-law, there seemed to be several relatives visiting the mother-in-law's family.

My father-in-law and I, as well as those few people, all said hello one after another, and then sat down in the corner of the sofa, half-buttocks apart.

My father-in-law only looked up at me when I came in, nodded slightly to me and never spoke to me again.

However, I know that my father-in-law is not like this because he hates me as much as my mother-in-law.

My father-in-law has always been like this, silent and like a piece of wood. Xiaoxiao said that her father was also indifferent to her, and she would get used to it.

So, after arriving at my mother-in-law's house, those relatives started chatting enthusiastically around me.

Xiaoxiao is not here. Now Xiaoxiao lives alone somewhere else. Of course, she has to come back several times a month. It is said that my mother-in-law made strict rules to control her and keep her distance from me.

When talking to these elders, the topic basically cannot escape the same circle - checking household registration.

Yes, I feel like I am being checked by these people now rather than chatting.

How old are you, do you have any brothers or sisters at home, what kind of job do you do, what is your income, do you have a house or a car, etc.

Or should we say that we are not one family and do not enter the same house? When they asked, I answered truthfully and sincerely, without telling any lies.

But after I finished talking, they gradually lost interest in me. After arriving, they looked at me and several old women gathered together and continued to chatter and gossip.

But the content basically revolves around whether the children of several wealthy families in the village can hook up with their own daughters.

When the mother-in-law came over with cut fruits and drinks, one of the old ladies looked at me and said, "What does this young man have to do with you?"

My mother-in-law glanced at me and said , "Oh, it doesn't matter, I'm just Xiaoxiao's classmate since childhood."

"Just classmates?" Several old women began to laugh, occasionally glancing at me secretly, and I felt my face getting hot.

"Yes, I'm just a classmate, nothing." The mother-in-law said in one bite. When I looked over, her eyes looked very gloomy, and her meaning was very obvious - don't say unnecessary nonsense to her.

I originally wanted to open my mouth to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided to forget it.

This time I came here to argue with my mother-in-law, not to tell these relatives about Xiaoxiao and I. I felt that this would cause trouble for Xiaoxiao.

So, I am now in a situation where I have to sit here awkwardly and listen to their unabashed gossip until these women leave.

"Sister Li, let's get back to the topic just now - how about you consider the solution I proposed to you?"

The mother-in-law's surname is Li, and she is also called this time. But the expression on the mother-in-law's face didn't change much, and she said calmly, "Think about it."

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Sister Li, I'm telling you that you are still too soft-hearted. If my daughter were to cause trouble with me, I wouldn't just break her legs!"

After saying that, the old lady seemed to be a little too involved, and said excitedly, "That damn boy, instead of harming other people's children, he came to harm our Xiaoxiao! What a damn thing! I don't want to think about what I am." ——A born evil star! He might be killed by Xiaoxiao!"

Having said this, I was startled for a moment, then silently clenched my knees and lowered my head deeply.

Another woman also spoke up, "Yes, yes, Sister Li, let me tell you, birthdays and horoscopes are something you have to pay attention to. Didn't Lao Jiang from the next village marry a daughter who was more than ten years younger than me?" ?"

"That seems to be the case, but does it have anything to do with my family's Xiaoxiao matter?"

The mother-in-law asked, looking a little puzzled.

"That's a big deal! Sister Li, you don't know that at that time, the witches in the next village helped Lao Jiang and kept trying to persuade Lao Jiang not to marry this woman. The horoscopes of their birth dates are too strong. Once they get married, they will go home. , you will kill yourself."

"Then what?" The mother-in-law seemed to be attracted by this matter. She stopped eating and stared at her nervously.

"Well, at the end of last month, that woman disappeared without a trace, and Chiang Kai-shek died at home, with her lower body naked... Tsk, tsk, you know what happened when you think about it."
