Chen Hansheng's second uncle, Chen Zhiming, lived in Yangzhou. During the Spring Festival, his family came to visit. Later, when Rocket 101 came to Yangzhou to expand the market, Chen Zhiming kept asking his nephew to eat at his house, but Chen Hansheng never had the time.
Fortunately, the arrival of his tool, Hu Linyu, solved this problem. Chen Hansheng decisively went to visit his relatives and even brought Shen Youchu with him.
The one who opened the door was his sister, Chen Lan. When she saw Chen Hansheng coming, she immediately shouted to the living room, "My brother is here."
After a while, Chen Lan added in horror, "Oh my god, and sister-in-law."
Second Uncle and Second Aunt were originally wearing pajamas and watching TV on the sofa while waiting for Chen Hansheng to eat. It was not a big deal for a nephew to visit, but when they heard that Chen Hansheng had brought a girl with him, the two of them could not sit still.
Especially since Chen Zhiming was a retired military cadre, he usually paid attention to his image and dignity. His style was also meticulous. While Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu were changing their shoes, he quickly went back to the bedroom to change into a suit.
"What's wrong with Hansheng? Why didn't he tell us in advance that he brought his girlfriend over?"
In the bedroom, his second aunt, Gan Wenxiu, complained, "If I had known, I would have cooked two more dishes."
"He didn't say whether she is his girlfriend or not. Don't label her."
Chen Zhiming corrected her.
"She has already come to our door, and you still say that she is not his girlfriend?"
Gan Wenxiu muttered, "The girl is quite tall, but I didn't see her face clearly. Did you see her?"
"No."
Chen Zhiming shook his head. He only had one nephew. Although he was very opposed to dating in college, he felt inexplicably gratified that Chen Hansheng, who had always been naughty, had a girlfriend.
Just as he was about to call his wife out of the bedroom, he suddenly saw her holding a stack of money and putting it in a red packet.
"What are you doing?" Chen Zhiming asked.
"Giving a red packet."
Gan Wenxiu opened her eyes wide, "He brought his girlfriend to our door. As his elders, how can we not do something?"
Chen Zhiming frowned, "Let's confirm the relationship first. Why are you always so anxious?"
"I'm anxious?"
Gan Wenxiu was unhappy. "If it were someone else, it would be fine. But this is Chen Hansheng, your only nephew. I'm doing this for your sake. If Big Brother and Sister-in-law know about it, they won't think that we are stingy."
"Even if you want to give it to me, you have to confirm your relationship first. Otherwise, it will be awkward."
… ….
The quarrel between the middle-aged couple was on the verge of breaking out. Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan were the same. They could have disagreements over a small matter.
In the end, Chen Hansheng and Gan Wenxiu walked out of the bedroom without paying attention to anyone. Chen Hansheng felt that it was a little strange and speculated about what the uncle and aunt quarreled about.
However, Chen Lan did not care about this. Her attention was completely focused on this "sister-in-law." Shen Youchu was embarrassed by her stare. Her face was flushed red, and she kept looking at the furry slippers on her feet.
"Speak!"
Chen Lan could not help but ask, "Why did you find such an ugly partner?"
Second Uncle and Second Aunt did not see Shen Youchu's appearance clearly. When they heard what Chen Lan said, they thought that the girl their nephew brought over was ugly.
When Chen Zhiming heard what Chen Lan said, his heart was instantly covered with a layer of shadow. However, he still scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Have you finished your homework?"
"Chen Lan, when did you become blind?"
Chen Hansheng also felt that it was strange. Shen Youchu could say that she did not know how to socialize, that she was a little inferior, that she was too shy, and so on. However, the word "ugly" had nothing to do with her.
"Shut up!"
Chen Lan shouted at Chen Hansheng. She then sat down beside Shen Youchu and said gently, "Sister-in-law, why did you find such an ugly partner? I feel so sorry for you."
Chen Hansheng: …
When Chen Zhiming and Gan Wenxiu came to the living room, Chen Lan shouted loudly, "Dad, mom, sister-in-law is so beautiful. A good cabbage is eaten by a pig just like that."
"Uncle, Auntie, my name is Shen Youchu. I am from Sichuan."
Shen Youchu hurriedly stood up and greeted. In the past, she had only met Chen Hansheng and his wife. This was the first time that she met Chen Hansheng's relatives. She was so nervous that her fingers were twisting together.
It was only at this moment that Second Uncle and Second Aunt finally saw Shen Youchu's appearance clearly. Both of them were stunned for a moment. After that, they pretended that nothing had happened and turned their heads around.
Second Uncle even coughed, "Sichuan? I have been there for a business trip before. It is pretty good."
"Thank you, Second Uncle."
Shen Youchu replied softly. She felt that she should thank other people for praising her province.
"Oh."
Second Uncle picked up the thermos cup and drank a mouthful of tea. As if he suddenly thought of something, he said to Gan Wenxiu, "Where is the red packet that you prepared just now? Hurry up and take it out."
"Ah?"
Gan Wenxiu was stunned for a moment. Didn't he say that he would only give it to her after confirming her identity? Now that he saw that the girl was beautiful, he could not wait to add her into the family tree.
"Here it is."
Second Aunt rolled her eyes at Second Uncle. She took out a red packet from her pocket and handed it to Shen Youchu. "It is a custom here. When you visit an elder's house for the first time, the elder will give you a red packet. Don't think that it is too little. This is a small token of appreciation from your uncle and aunt."
Shen Youchu was just about to refuse when Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "My aunt asked you to accept it. Just accept it."
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Shen Youchu wanted to stand up to thank them again. Gan Wenxiu pressed down on her shoulder and took the opportunity to look at her for a while. "Girl, you are really beautiful."
"Exactly."
Chen Lan glanced at Chen Hansheng. "My brother is such a loser. Why is he so loser?"
"Nonsense. How can you say that about your brother?"
Second Aunt hit Chen Lan to stop her from telling the truth.
"Okay, okay."
Second Uncle put on the airs of the head of the family. "Hurry up and clean up the table. Hansheng and Shen are probably hungry."
"It's okay. I went to Yangzhou for a walk in the afternoon and ate some snacks on the way."
Chen Hansheng smiled and asked, "Uncle, did you quarrel with Aunt just now?"
"Yes."
Second Uncle nodded his head, "Just a small matter at home."
"It's best not to quarrel next time."
Chen Hansheng gave a 'friendly' suggestion, "If you really feel that your chest is stuffy, then beat Chen Lan up to vent your anger. Anyway, she is still in school and has no source of income. She won't dare to hold a grudge against you."
Chen Lan: "…"
At the dinner table, Second Uncle and Second Aunt were especially enthusiastic towards this "nephew's wife". Chen Hansheng bickered with Chen Lan as usual. Second Aunt also said that she only had classes in the morning tomorrow and that she could bring Shen Youchu around Yangzhou in the afternoon.
After dinner, Second Uncle wanted Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu to rest at home. However, Chen Hansheng refused as he still had some matters to deal with at Rocket 101.
He sent Shen Youchu to the door of her room and bought some sesame cake for her. "This is for Hu Linyu. She probably hates me right now. I am just next door and I have something on the phone."
Shen Youchu did not know about Hu Linyu's painful experience. After pushing open the door, she realized that the lights were not turned on. Hu Linyu was sitting on the bed like a mummy. Her eyes were staring straight at the television, and the colorful and dim images were constantly flashing on her face.
"You are back?"
Hu Linyu took a glance at her and asked indifferently.
Shen Youchu did not turn on the lights and sat beside Hu Linyu lightly. She felt that Hu Linyu seemed to be in a bad mood and slowly patted her back to comfort her.
"Where did you and your family's bastard go?"
Hu Linyu suddenly asked.
"We went to a garden in the afternoon and went to my uncle's house for dinner in the evening."
Shen Youchu whispered.
Hu Linyu's eyes shook. "The elders in northern Jiangsu wanted to give me a red packet when they met me for the first time. Did they give it to me?"
Shen Youchu nodded and took out the sesame cake again. "How was your time at Yangzhou University?"
"How was my time?"
When Hu Linyu heard this sentence, she became excited. "Chen Hansheng said so, didn't he?"
Shen Youchu blinked. Chen Hansheng claimed that Hu Linyu admired the campus environment of Yangzhou University and was not willing to go out shopping, so she stayed at Yangzhou University.
"Liar, liar!"
Hu Linyu stood on the bed and jumped up and down with her two short legs, seemingly only by doing so could she relieve the depression in her heart. "I was sold to the black coal mine in the afternoon to do hard labor, I was so busy that I didn't have any free time at all. Chen Hansheng can lie to you, but why did he lie to me as well?"
… …
"F * ck, why are you so agitated?"
Chen Hansheng who was in the next room could hear Hu Linyu's roaring. He thought to himself that he should ask his second aunt to bring Hu Linyu along tomorrow, otherwise, what if she doesn't work for him when she returns to the finance department?
Just when he was thinking, his phone rang. It was from his mother, Liang Meijuan.
"You brought Shen Youchu to your second uncle's house today?"
His mother did not stand on ceremony and asked directly to his face.
Chen Hansheng directly admitted, "That's right, I also conveniently got a free meal."
"Bastard, do you understand the meaning of this?"
Liang Meijuan said impatiently, "I won't argue with you for now, when are you coming back?"
"I'm extremely busy, how can I have time to go back? I'm going to take a shower now, mom."
Chen Hansheng directly hung up the phone, laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Suddenly, he laughed.
"Of course I understand the meaning of this, isn't this looking for a balance?"
