Our Family Matters
墨書 Inktalez
Auntie looked somewhat incredulous. "Shu Qin, are you saying there won't be a single cent given?"
My Mom feigned innocence. "Sister-in-law, what are you saying?"
"What’s the point of dividing things? We don’t have a son in our family; all the family assets will belong to Da Zhuang in the future!"
Auntie was completely flustered. "Then... what about those two girls in the future?"
My Mom shrugged her shoulders. "They'll just have to rely on their own fate."
"Since ancient times, women have followed the three obediences and four virtues; marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog."
"Besides, can I not trust your judgment on the blind date candidates you introduced?"
My sister was desperately trying to hold back her laughter, leaning against me and shaking uncontrollably.
I was suppressing my laughter so hard that my stomach hurt.
Auntie was utterly at a loss.
On one side was her own son, and on the other was her nephew.
She wanted to choose her son but didn’t want to lose face in the village.
In the end, she could only awkwardly say, "It’s New Year’s; let’s just go home for now."
She sent the two blind date candidates away.
The two of them looked dissatisfied. "No! Aunt! We came here to meet our future wives!"
"And we came all this way; you owe us money!"
Auntie rolled her eyes. "You deserve it! Who told you to talk nonsense during New Year’s?"
Before the blind date candidates could say anything else, the Supermarket Owner stepped out with a stern face. "The surveillance is broken; get out!"
Not long after, the blind date candidates returned with their family and started shouting at Uncle's house.
"Aunt! You called us over here, promising to introduce us to brides!"
"Now we didn’t even see any brides and ended up getting beaten!"
"You have to take responsibility for this!"
Auntie panicked and looked at Uncle.
Uncle shrugged his shoulders, "What do you want me to do? You found the person, and you handled the matter."
"Now that it's turned out like this, can you still blame me?"
My sister leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "Uncle is about to kick Auntie."
I nodded, "Maybe they'll even end up fighting."
The Blind Date Candidate and His Parents were making a scene at the door.
Auntie was being scolded mercilessly but didn't dare to retort.
Uncle sat in a chair, looking completely unconcerned.
At that moment, the Village Party Secretary walked in, "Zhiwen, when are we going to discuss Xiu Lu's matter..."
Chen Zhiwen chuckled innocently, "What road are we fixing?"
"Village Party Secretary, you can't be joking. You know my family's situation."
"Now all the money is controlled by my older brother."
The Village Party Secretary looked confused, "Huh?"
Uncle stood up from his chair, "Xiu Lu is a village matter; what does it have to do with me?"
"I have no money!"
"Besides, sooner or later, my younger brother's assets will all belong to Da Zhuang."
"When that time comes, I'll just move to the city. What does fixing Xiu Lu have to do with me?"
The Village Party Secretary grew anxious, "This road is crucial for the development of our entire village!"
Several Elders chimed in as well, "Yes, big brother, Xiu Lu is a significant issue!"
Uncle waved his hand impatiently, "What good is fixing the road if we don't have any money?"
"As soon as I get my hands on the family assets from my second brother, the first thing I'll do is sell this rundown house!"
"Whoever wants to fix it can go ahead!"
With that, Uncle grabbed Chen Dazhuang and started to leave.
Auntie panicked, "Chen Zhigang! You dare to walk away and see what happens!"
Uncle turned around fiercely, "If you keep pushing me, do you believe I’ll divorce you?"
Auntie completely lost her momentum.
She plopped down on the ground and began to wail.
The Blind Date Candidate wanted an explanation, Auntie was ready to scold her son, while the Elders and the Village Party Secretary insisted on Xiu Lu...
In an instant, the small courtyard was divided into three factions.
My Mom smiled and waved her hand, "Let's go."
We slipped out from behind her and followed her through the gate.
