It seemed that it was very difficult for my cousin to have a child. Last time, my cousin's wife got drunk and told me that he couldn't do what he wanted after getting married. I wasn't sure to what extent.
Facing my uncle's complaints, my cousin just gave a hollow laugh and said that a man had to focus on his career. He didn't plan to have a child for the next two years. My uncle put on a straight face and told my cousin that if I didn't get pregnant, he wouldn't take out a single cent.
My cousin was a little depressed. He said that my uncle was short-sighted and inflexible, but my uncle didn't care and just ate.
It wasn't strange. People in the countryside usually had a few children. Because of my uncle's condition, he only had one son. Now that he was old, he had been waiting for him to carry on the family line.
My cousin wanted to save face and refused to admit that it was his problem. Every time we talked about it, he would blame my sister-in-law and say that her stomach wasn't up to expectations. That was why my uncle and sister-in-law had a bad relationship. Perhaps it was also one of the reasons why my sister-in-law didn't want to go back to her hometown.
After all, there were no secrets in the village. When the time came, there would be gossip. She might as well stay in the city and have some peace and quiet.
Now that the two of them had a disagreement, the atmosphere became really strange.
I quickly changed the topic and asked my uncle, "How are my parents?" He said that they were doing well. He opened his money bag and took out a stack of crumpled bills and handed it to me.
"Xiao Feng, this is two thousand renminbi. They were afraid that you didn't have enough money to spend, so they asked me to give it to you. You have a partner, after all. You can't avoid spending money." My uncle grinned. "Kid, you don't have to worry. You know what you should do."
It was obvious that my uncle was implying that he was mocking my cousin. In his opinion, if he didn't make a child, he wouldn't be able to do his job.
Actually, the parents in the city were very strict when it came to finding a partner. In our village, a sixteen-year-old man could be a father. When I left home, my mother said that if I couldn't get into school, I could just find a wife. That would be a relief.
Liu Jie blushed. "It's okay. I can give my money to Feng Feng Hua, as long as he's happy."
Damn, I don't want to be a gigolo. But really, this girl's acting is pretty good.
The uncles were overjoyed and eased the atmosphere a little.
While we were eating happily, a blonde boy walked over with a selfie stick in his hand. I noticed that he kept looking in our direction.
"Hey, beautiful." He patted Liu Jie's shoulder and said with a cheeky smile, striking what he thought was a cool pose.
"What?" Liu Jie furrowed her brows in displeasure.
"Hello, I'm doing a live broadcast. Look, there are more than 50,000 viewers watching. They all strongly requested for me to add you on WeChat. Under normal circumstances, a handsome guy like me wouldn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation." The blonde flipped his hair.
"I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend." Liu Jie pouted politely.
"It's fine. I'm just trying to make friends. I don't have any other intentions. I'm from Chengbei Vocational School. If you guys go there in the future, feel free to contact me on WeChat. I promise you'll have fun." The blonde was still as shameless as ever.
"I'm not interested. My boyfriend will get angry if you keep acting like this." Liu Jie glared at him and stepped on my foot.
At this point, I couldn't just ignore it. "You better be more obedient." I didn't say it loudly, but it was a reminder.
This guy kept looking at the screen. "Wow, thanks for the three rockets, brother 'Can I Hang Almighty Be a Meal'!"
"Aha, Old Tie has good eyes. The young married woman next to him is the best. Good, Old Tie is so awesome. I'll help you ask even if I have to take the risk of getting hit." The blonde was quite interesting and kept grumbling to the screen.
His gaze landed on his sister-in-law. "Beautiful lady, hehe. I want to ask you, do you know how to sing 'Eight Kills'?"
"No." The sister-in-law said with slight disdain, but out of politeness, she still answered.
"Then you know how to sing 'Eighteen Touches' right?
Don't worry, I'll send you a big red packet on WeChat later! "The blonde had a wretched smile on his face. It was obvious that he wasn't going to say anything good.
I could pretend to be deaf when this little bastard tried to hit on Liu Jie, but I couldn't stand it when he insulted my sister-in-law. I stood up, grabbed his shoulder, and used a bit of force.
The blonde's skin was soft, so how could he withstand it? He screamed in pain, and all the customers in the hall looked over.
"Motherf * cker, little bastard, let go of me. Do you believe that I won't beat you up with one punch?" The blonde was very excited. I didn't care about his strength at all.
"If you don't believe me, then bring it on. Don't go easy on me." I hooked my finger in anticipation.
He wasn't being honest. He lifted his leg and wanted to kick my lower body. I reacted quickly and grabbed his ankle, then lifted it up.
"Creak."
The crisp sound spread throughout the hall of the restaurant. Accompanied by the screams of a pig being slaughtered, the blonde's face darkened. His facial muscles twitched, and his body trembled.
"F * ck, this person is too ruthless."
"Ruthless my a * s. Outdoor streamers nowadays use all kinds of methods to court death. He deserves to be taught a lesson."
"Hehe, this bro has guts. I admire him."
Hearing the different voices, I gradually understood that the blonde was doing some kind of online program. As long as the audience sent him gifts, he could do anything.
Unfortunately, he was blind enough to cause trouble for my sister-in-law.
"Get lost. Don't let me see you." I let go of him. Hatred flashed in the blonde's eyes, but he didn't dare to show it.
Liu Jie smiled and blinked. "Hehe, I like it. You look so righteous and handsome when you hit people!"
"Ahem, I hid it so well, but you still found out." I pinched my ear.
"You're so annoying." Liu Jie pinched my flesh and scolded.
If I wasn't careful, it would turn into flirting. It was really awkward. I observed my sister-in-law and saw that she didn't have any strange expression. I didn't know why, but I felt a little disappointed.
The blonde didn't dare to provoke me. He ran to the cashier and talked to the receptionist. Then, he called the manager and pointed at me.
Not long after, the lobby manager quickly walked over. "Everyone, your violent behavior just now has alarmed other customers. Please leave the restaurant as soon as possible."
"What? That person was shameless first." Liu Jie put her hands on her hips. She was cute and sweet just now, but in the blink of an eye, she turned into a domineering princess.
"I didn't notice that. But since you bought a set meal, you ate for too long. In order not to affect the customers in line, I'll give you two minutes." The manager's tone became firmer.
"Hey, hey, hey. We only ate for half an hour. How is it too long? Don't they have a set meal too? Are you discriminating against us?" The sister-in-law wasn't happy either.
"You have one and a half minutes." The manager didn't waste any time and started counting down.
The uncle was a little worried. "How about we pack it up and bring it back?
It'd be a waste. Zhuang Feng, you have a bad temper. It was just a small matter and you beat them up. We didn't even have enough to eat. Sigh. "The uncle looked gloomy.
The cousin sighed. "Xiao Feng, it's different in the city. Your cousin acts like a tyrant in the village, but when he comes here, he doesn't even dare to breathe loudly."
I felt bad when they scolded me like that. The blonde even insulted me verbally. How could it be a small matter?
"It's okay. Let's go somewhere else. I'll treat you," Liu Jie said arrogantly. The sister-in-law shook her head. "How can I ask you to pay?"
The blonde was laughing not far away. He kept taking pictures with his phone and mocking us. "Motherf * cker. You don't have any strength. You dare to jump with me? I'll stomp you to death in minutes!"
Just as we were about to leave …
"Hey, Jie Er, why are you here?" A strong male voice came from the side.
I turned to look. It was a slightly chubby middle-aged man walking down from the second floor. He was well-dressed. He wore prayer beads and a jade ring on his finger. He gave off a low-key rich vibe.
"Ah, it's you … I'm eating with my classmate." Liu Jie was stunned. She was also very surprised.
"Classmate?
Why are there so many people!? "The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, they're all his relatives." Liu Jie shrugged and turned her head. She seemed to have some objection.
