Chapter 8978 don't say anything
"The red envelope must contain at least one hundred and eighty-eight cents!"
"Ha!" Old Yangtou said happily.
"Is this asking for money? Whether we give it or not is our business. Why did she ask for it?" Old Yang asked.
Mr. Tan shook his head, "That's not all. He also asked me to go and tell the third and fifth bedrooms as well, and ask them to come over as much as possible. There are so many people and it's so lively, so I can support them."
Old Yang frowned tightly.
"If people are willing to support you, you can't stop them. If you don't want to support them, it's in vain if you try to support them. Why bother to embarrass others?"
Mrs. Tan looked at Lao Yangtou: "It's not that Lao San and the others don't want to go and support them. Even if any relatives and friends organize such an event, they will go there and support them."
"The problem now is that Mei'er wants to save face and suffer the consequences, so she asked me to send a message to Lao San and others, saying that my uncle and aunt will go over to support me, and I will arrange for Xu Qiaohong to call someone."
"When you call someone, you have to ask for a red envelope. The uncle and aunt's seniority can be a little less than the grandma, but no matter how little it is, it can't be less than eighty-eight cents!"
"Fart!" Old Yang was so angry that he slapped his chopsticks on the table.
Mrs. Tan also raised her eyebrows and subconsciously wanted to get angry.
The old man realized something and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that you farted, I meant that Meier farted. She made me so angry!"
The hair that had just exploded on Mrs. Tan's body immediately fell down, and she sat there again with her hands folded, like a harmless little old lady.
"It's not that Lao San and the others don't want to praise her as a younger sister, it's that most people can't support her!" Lao Yangtou continued.
"How can anyone tell us in advance the rules of how much money we should give away before we go? What do we think of our mother's family? This is disrespectful!"
"I think back then, no matter whether my daughter-in-law came to visit or formally married, we never asked Mei'er how much money to give to each room in our old Yang family, let alone asked her to come out with money to save face for us when she didn't need to take money. She
But to treat us like this is really too much!"
Old Yangtou vented his anger fiercely.
Well, I just ate dumplings and now I have the energy to curse.
Sitting opposite him, Mrs. Tan could only shake her head.
After Lao Yangtou made some comments, he asked Tan again: "Then what did you say? You can't accept it for Lao San and the others, right? You have always loved Mei'er the most and listened to Mei'er's orders the most!
"
Mrs. Tan could hear the deep complaints and dissatisfaction in Old Yangtou's words. If Old Yangtou had said this to her in the past, she would definitely get angry.
The table in front of me needs to be turned over.
The two empty bowls on the table had to be smashed.
But this time, isn't this a special situation? A certain part of my heart is still soft.
That sensitive and delicate thing restrained her and prevented her from going crazy.
"You are such a bad old man, why do you think of me so brainlessly?" Mrs. Tan refuted Old Yangtou a little unhappily.
"I love Mei'er. That's true. Who makes her my old daughter?"
"But this time, I really saw through it, and I was heartbroken."
"I have already called you to my room to discuss the matter. It was my own suggestion. Let's follow our own rules and follow the rules of Changping Village. We will not cater to Mei'er."
"I said it all by myself. Tell me, how could I slap myself in the face? Wouldn't that hurt?"
"It's fine that I didn't agree on behalf of the third child. We don't even need to mention this matter to the third child to save them trouble." Old Yangtou was very satisfied with Tan's performance this time, and there was a bit of relief in his eyes.
Mrs. Tan also perfunctorily curved the corners of her mouth, giving Lao Yangtou a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
The old lady continued: "However, I still have to go there tomorrow. Mei'er has already said that. As a grandmother, it would be too ugly if I can't go there."
Old Yangtou did not refute Tan's words.
"I'll go too. I'll go with you. Let's be the representatives of our old Yang family!" he said.
Mrs. Tan was surprised.
"Don't everyone go their own way?" she asked again.
Lao Yang rolled his eyes at her, with helplessness in his eyes, "You silly old woman, what are we doing when we all go our own way? Let's spend money to save her face when we don't need it. I'm already holding back my anger.
Everyone should go their own way, do you think it’s too much money? If you think it’s too much money, just give me some!”
Mrs. Tan gave Old Yang a hard look: "You have a beautiful idea!"
Old Yangtou chuckled, "That's right. Just let me arrange this matter."
As the old man spoke, he took out a small money bag from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"There are all copper coins in here. Let's count them together. We will count two hundred and eight copper coins. You will give the red envelope with your own hands tomorrow!"
Tan's eyes moved from the money bag to Old Yangtou's face: "You mean, if we work together, we will be given two hundred and eighty cents? But Mei'er asked us to give each of us one hundred and eighty-eight cents."
Wen!"
Old Yang's eyes widened, "We are one, so naturally we will give it together!"
"Ah?" Tan was stunned.
My mind was buzzing, and the words that came back to me over and over again were the words 'one body...'
Lao Yangtou subconsciously took out the tobacco stick from his waist.
This is an action he has done for decades and is already familiar to his bones.
But this time it was all in vain.
It suddenly occurred to me that I had quit smoking for many days.
So, the old man tapped the table with his fingers, and then said to Mrs. Tan: "In this matter, you just do what I say. If we can be there, the money for the meeting will be enough to give Meier face. What else do you want?"
How about it? When you behave and do things, you have to follow the rules. You can allow a little bit of deviation, but if you go too far, it will be bad!"
The old couple once again reached a consensus on matters involving Lao Wang's family.
Later, Lao Yangtou called Yu Xingkui over and pushed him out of the old house.
Because after noon, the old lady had to take a nap.
Back in the third room, Yang Huazhong and Blacksmith Luo had also finished work and went home to eat dumplings.
Seeing Lao Yang entering the yard, Yang Huazhong rushed out immediately.
"Dad, where have you been?" Yang Huazhong asked.
In fact, he already knew where the old man had gone, as Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu had said before.
Lao Yangtou generously handed the food box he brought back to Yang Huazhong and asked him to bring it to Sun.
"Tell the third daughter-in-law that you don't need to bring me any more dumplings at noon, and you don't need to bring them to your mother either. We ate them together."
Yang Huazhong took the empty food box and was shocked inside.
I thought that the fourth brother and sister were adding fuel to the fire, but I didn’t expect that my father actually went to deliver dumplings to my mother.
This is not even scary. The most shocking thing is that my mother actually ate the dumplings sent by her father, and she ate them with her father.
What kind of wind is blowing this year?
How come two old men and women who were once incompatible were brought together?
After the shock, honey-like sweetness came out. Yang Huazhong hugged the food box, grinning happily and nodding.
Old Yangtou asked Yu Xingkui to push him back to the guest room. Suddenly, he stopped again.
He turned around and said to Yang Huazhong with a mysterious face: "Come here and show you something, but you have to promise me not to make any noise!"
