Hongmen Banquet at Father-in-law’s House
Liangtoutang Production Team is very close to Yanziao Production Team.
After Li Cuiyu put her two daughters into small floral skirts and pigtails, Liu Ye and her family of four rode the borrowed 28 Da back to her parents' home.
The old man Li Taishan was holding a dry pipe and puffing out smoke. Li Yugang and Li Yutie also followed the same example, making the whole hall full of smoke and mist.
Mother-in-law Shu Lanhua, eldest aunt Lin Yuying, and second aunt Su Xiaozhen were busy in the kitchen. Hearing Huahua and Linlin's childish voices, the Li family became lively.
Li Taishan was the first to walk out of the hall, hugged his two nephews and kissed them again and again. When Shu Lanhua heard the noise, she also ran out and shouted: "Old man, clean the Eight Immortals table and prepare for dinner."
Li Cuiyu was also called to prepare dinner. Liu Ye was so embarrassed that no one paid attention to him.
My son-in-law has been looked down upon by everyone in the Li family, old and young, for a long time. No one greeted him or talked to him.
Li Yugang and Li Yutie each have a son and a daughter, both of whom have not yet entered elementary school. For such a young child, no one calls him "uncle".
However, seeing the table full of dishes made Liu Ye realize that today should be an important holiday.
Mother-in-law Shu Lanhua took out a knife of yellow paper, a few sticks of incense sticks, and a small eight-figure whip to the open space in the courtyard, murmured something, and then began to burn paper money, worship heaven and earth, and set off firecrackers.
It turns out today is July 15th!
This festival belongs to the Ghost Festival among traditional rural festivals. In Yanzi'ao, it is also considered one of the more important festivals of the year.
Judging from the dishes on the table and the atmosphere, the Li family seems to be a little too grand.
None of the Li brothers have separated. They seem very lively. As far as Liu Ye knows, there are actually many conflicts between them, and the separation will be a matter of time.
Li Taishan and his uncle Li Yugang sat at the head table, and the children each prepared some food to eat on the small table. Shu Lanhua and her two aunts ate in the kitchen.
Li Cuiyu, on the other hand, was personally named by Li Taishan and sat at the table.
Such a formation made Liu Ye secretly scream that something was not good.
The vegetables are all seasonal vegetables grown in some farmers' fields. The best meat dishes are a big carp and a bowl of steamed bacon with shredded radish.
The wine is sorghum wine brewed in rural areas.
Liu Ye was arranged in the side seat, sitting alone. His brothers-in-law Li Yutie and Li Cuiyu sat on the other side.
After three drinks and five dishes, the atmosphere made Liu Ye feel very depressed.
Ahem——
Li Taishan coughed lightly and finally started to get angry.
"Liu Ye, I heard that you owe Xie Bin, the gangster leader of the 713 Factory, a gambling debt of 3,000 yuan?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
No one, including Li Cuiyu, thought that his father would raise such a question during a family dinner.
Li Cuiyu was also stunned.
Thinking back to the beginning, she even wanted to die because of the Ye Boar farmland and Xie Bin's gambling debt. The Liu family was in such terrible decline that there was really no way to survive.
But she just smashed her teeth and swallowed it all!
Liu Ye asked awkwardly: "Dad, who did you hear this from?"
Liu Ye could conclude that Li Cuiyu was definitely not the one to say this. Otherwise, he would not have waited until today to have the attack.
The two eldest uncles also looked unhappy. Of the three Li brothers, only Li Zhiyu was not present. They were probably on business somewhere and were not at home.
Li Taishan took advantage of the wine and asked coldly: "Liu Ye, don't ask me who I listen to, just tell me if this is the case?"
"have!"
Liu Ye gritted his teeth and said.
Snap!
Li Taishan picked up the wine glass in his hand and smashed the glass and the wine at Liu Ye's forehead.
Liu Ye felt a fever on his forehead, and then red and white liquid flowed down his forehead.
Bleeding!
Li Cuiyu shouted eagerly: "Dad, how can you beat him!"
Li Cuiyu now is completely different from Li Cuiyu five days ago. She realized that her husband was not useless.
In just five days, I earned more than 700 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of an industrial worker for two years. In rural areas at this time, no one dared to imagine this was true.
Li Taishan was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he said angrily: "Daughter, after Liu Handong died, Liu Ye, a bastard, has no one to teach him, and he has become lawless. Don't think that I don't know what he is doing outside if you don't tell me!"
"father--"
"Dad, you're bleeding!"
Huahua and Linlin threw away their rice bowls, cried loudly and rushed towards them, cursing: "Grandpa is bad, grandpa hits people!"
The two little babies threw themselves into their arms, their eyes full of hostility towards their grandfather.
Li Cuiyu sat there, also at a loss.
Liu Ye held Huahua in his left hand and Linlin in his right hand, and said with a smile: "Baby, dad did something bad, so he should be beaten!"
"You're talking nonsense! Grandpa did something bad and hit someone!"
Everyone in the Li family, men and women, were all stunned by the scene before them.
No one would have thought that these twin daughters would protect Liu Ye, a bastard.
Li Taishan was also furious and shouted: "Cuiyu, take your two daughters out. Today I will teach this incompetent guy a lesson in front of everyone!"
Li Cuiyu was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning. Shu Lanhua, on the other hand, didn't care, grabbed Huahua and Linlin from Liu Ye's arms, and walked out of the yard.
"I want my daddy!"
"My father is a good man, but my grandpa is bad!"
…
After the two daughters were taken away, the hall became quiet and the atmosphere became more solemn.
The table was full of dishes, and I didn’t even use my chopsticks a few times before they looked like this.
Liu Ye grabbed the wine glass, poured himself a large bowl of sorghum wine, and said: "Dad, let out whatever anger you have today. If you want to kill or behead, it's up to you. After today, I will
It’s not that easy to talk anymore!”
Li Taishan's white beard glared and said angrily: "Liu Ye, who do you think you are? What will happen to my daughter if she marries you? I was married to you three times, but you paid off my gambling debt and lost everything."
Did I speak? If Si Gou hadn’t told me today, Xie Bin might have come to press for debts, and I wouldn’t have known you had messed with Xie Bin!”
Xie Bin is a notorious gangster leader. Throughout Maplewood Town, few people will not feel chills running down their spines whenever they hear his name.
"I was afraid that you missed the farming season and asked your two sons to help your family work? But you went to the county town for a ride?"
"I just want to ask you today, what are you going to do if you can't pay off Xie Bin's gambling debt? Let my daughter divorce you, or should you go and give Xie Bin an explanation yourself?"
A series of words made Liu Ye breathless.
Regarding the gambling debt, Liu Ye, a man of two generations, had long made up his mind that he would not repay it!
But Liu Ye really hasn't thought about how to deal with the consequences of not paying off gambling debts.
A few hooligans are not difficult to deal with as long as you dare to fight them. What Liu Ye fears most is that Xie Bin's gang will attack Li Cuiyu and his two daughters.
Brothers Li Yugang and Li Yutie shouted almost in unison: "You are a piece of mud who can't hold up the wall, but give us an explanation!"
