"Ah what? You damn girl, I asked your sister to invite Tian Xiaohai here on purpose. It's better for you to drive them away. Why don't you go and invite them back?" Mr. Tang glared at Tang Yingying angrily.
One glance.
"Okay! I'll go and invite him back." Tang Yingying put the things Tian Xiaohai sent to the door, turned around and quickly chased towards the place where Tian Xiaohai left earlier.
"Go back quickly, the food is ready." Mr. Tang warned loudly, turned around and entered the house with his hands behind his back.
"That's not right! Who is that kid just now? Why did Mr. Tang take such a fancy to him? Is there something wrong with this guy?" Meng Rixiang scratched his head in confusion.
At this time, Tian Xiaohai had not gone far. He had just walked around a camphor tree and heard clearly the conversation between Mr. Tang and Tang Yingying.
"This time I want to give my future sister-in-law a good treatment so that she won't look down on others all the time." Tian Xiaohai smiled knowingly, deliberately quickened his pace, turned around and hurried towards the back mountain.
Seeing this, Tang Yingying quickly ran after her.
"Hey! Tian Xiaohai, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? What does it have to do with you?" Tian Xiaohai sneered and glanced at Tang Yingying.
"Don't leave, I agree that you can go to our house for dinner tonight." Tang Yingying shouted at Tian Xiaohai's back.
"No! I still have something to do!" Tian Xiaohai showed no intention of stopping.
"Tian Xiaohai, stop!" Tang Yingying became anxious and quickly chased after her, blocking Tian Xiaohai's path: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I suddenly remembered that there was another basket left on the mountain. I was going to pick it up." Tian Xiaohai pretended to be anxious.
"Can't you pick it up tomorrow?" Tang Yingying asked.
"That won't work. If someone picks it up, the loss will be huge." Tian Xiaohai shook his head with a smile and pushed Tang Yingying away with his hand.
"Tian Xiaohai, can you give me some face?" Tang Yingying caught up again and said to Tian Xiaohai in a pleading tone: "Come back with me for dinner. This is my grandpa's wish. Can I beg you?"
"Begging me? Then you have to have a begging attitude!" Tian Xiaohai looked at Tang Yingying with satisfaction and replied with a smile: "Call me brother-in-law."
"You are dreaming! Tian Xiaohai, you will never marry my sister in your life." Tang Yingying glared at Tian Xiaohai angrily.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything!" Tian Xiaohai raised his face with a smile and continued to move forward.
"You..." Tang Yingying was anxious. Grandpa is the backbone of the family, and he is an authoritative person. The person he wants to invite must not be a noble person, but he must have something to ask for. She does not dare to disobey.
After a moment of hesitation, Tang Yingying blushed and whispered to Tian Xiaohai: "Sister...husband!"
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Tian Xiaohai deliberately picked his ears and pretended not to hear clearly.
"You..." Tang Yingying gritted her teeth with hatred, stomped her feet angrily, and squeezed out a very exaggerated smile and said: "Brother-in-law, should I invite you to my house for dinner? Is that okay now?"
"How good!" Tian Xiaohai responded shamelessly, and immediately took out 800 yuan in cash from his wallet.
He reached out and grabbed Tang Yingying's hand, and slapped eight hundred yuan in cash into her palm: "Come on, sister-in-law, this is the change fee that my brother-in-law gave you. Take it!"
"Tian Xiaohai, what do you mean?" Tang Yingying's eyes widened in surprise.
"The change fee! I will be your brother-in-law from now on. What's wrong? You don't want it? If you don't want it, just give it back to me." Tian Xiaohai stretched out his hand to take the money back from Tang Yingying's hand.
"Huh! It's not for nothing. Brother-in-law, let's go! Go home for dinner." Tang Yingying curled her lips, twisted her waist, and walked towards the Tang family villa.
She thought to herself: It won't kill anyone to call her brother-in-law, but after today, she can still scold Tian Xiaohai to death.
"I'm afraid you won't accept the money." Tian Xiaohai smiled knowingly and followed.
Five minutes later, Tang Yingying took Tian Xiaohai into the Tang family again.
Qiao Maixiang happened to be in the yard.
She looked up and saw Tian Xiaohai following her little daughter into the yard. She couldn't help but said angrily: "Tian Xiaohai, what are you doing here?"
"I...I'm here for dinner. Hello, Auntie!" Tian Xiaohai responded with an awkward smile.
"What? Dinner?" Qiao Maixiang's face immediately darkened, and she glared at Tian Xiaohai angrily: "I have nothing, but you still want to come for dinner? Who asked you to come?"
"Mom, grandpa invited him here." Tang Yingying explained.
"What? Your grandfather invited him over for dinner?" Qiao Maixiang's eyes widened in shock.
"That's right, grandpa invited him here for dinner. Besides, he didn't come empty-handed. Look, isn't this a gift?" Tang Yingying smiled and took out the two big watermelons and a wooden stick in her hand.
The box was shaken in front of Qiao Maixiang.
Seeing this, Tian Xiaohai showed a satisfied smile. He thought to himself: This sister-in-law is not bad. It seems that the eight hundred yuan just given was not in vain.
As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had been deceived.
Qiao Maixiang glanced at the two big watermelons and the wooden box in Tang Yingying's hand, and said disdainfully: "This is called a gift, and it's more like feeding pigs."
"Did you hear that? Tian Xiaohai's mother said that the things you gave her were enough to feed the pigs." Tang Yingying sneered and glanced at Tian Xiaohai.
"That's right! Who would give watermelon as a gift these days?" Qiao Maixiang snorted angrily: "Only poor people like you Tian family can do this."
"Auntie, this is no ordinary watermelon, it's a wild melon and it's delicious." Tian Xiaohai explained with a smile.
"Watermelon is watermelon, how can it still taste like durian? I won't eat it anyway." Qiao Maixiang shook her head in disappointment and sighed: "I really don't understand what the old man thinks, why would he invite this settled person?
Come have dinner.”
After saying that, she twisted her waist and entered the house angrily.
"Hmph! I won't eat your broken watermelon either." Tang Yingying also snorted arrogantly: "Come in!"
After saying that, she carried her things into the house.
Tian Xiaohai followed him into the house. At this time, he saw that the old man of the Tang family was sitting at the coffee table with an old man in Tang suit, talking and laughing happily.
Meng Rixiang, the man wearing a gold watch before, was sitting on the other side, occasionally adding some tea to the two elderly people.
"Grandpa, I invited Tian Xiaohai here for you." Tang Yingying smiled, carrying two large watermelons and a wooden box and handed them to Mr. Tang, and deliberately reminded loudly: "Come on, grandpa, this is a gift from Xiaohai."
Your gift. Two big watermelons and a wooden box. I don’t know what’s inside.”
Hearing this, Mr. Tang's face instantly darkened.
He glanced at the two big watermelons on the table with a disappointed look on his face, sighed and said, "Just leave it there! The Tian family is so poor, I don't expect him to give me anything good."
After listening to her grandfather's words, a look of satisfaction flashed across Tang Yingying's face. This was exactly what she wanted to see. It meant that her grandfather also looked down on Tian Xiaohai.
Mr. Tang picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, glanced at Tian Xiaohai from the corner of his eye, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you know why I want to invite you?"
