Shen Village.
Jiang Ning was enjoying the food and drink; the dishes served by his uncle-in-law were indeed excellent: stewed beef, stead bass, roasted chicken, and lamb soup, it was all very complete.
In the past, he couldn’t enjoy good food during visits because his family wasn’t doing well, and his uncle-in-law wasn’t attentive. Now that the other party needed his family, of course, they offered the best.
His uncle-in-law plastered a smile on his face, occasionally belittling his cousin Shen Xuan, while praising Jiang Ning as if Wenquxing had descended to Earth, with parents who blossod late. Must admit, the al was quite enjoyable.
Suddenly, high-pitched "woof woof" sounds ca from the dog cage, marking a warning to the intruder.
His uncle-in-law wasn’t as formidable as Butcher Zhang from the river dam, so he kept the dog in a cage, unlike Butcher Zhang’s carefree manner.
The people in the hall looked towards the door upon hearing the sound.
They saw a middle-aged man with polished leather shoes, carrying a red gift box, smiling rrily as he entered.
His uncle-in-law’s expression changed, showing a bit of disgust; this person was their neighbor behind the house, known as Binzi, a person who cares much about appearances, but actually has a disdain for the poor and adoration for the rich.
His uncle-in-law raised pigs, a very unstable industry. One year, he had bad luck and lost money raising pigs, spending the whole year sighing.
Just when workers returning from outside ca ho, Shen Bin had earned money working for a year, looking quite flashy, distributing cigarettes everywhere. But when it was his uncle-in-law’s turn, the cigarette box was empty, and Shen Bin said he wasn’t lucky enough.
His uncle-in-law thought he was being mocked for his bad luck raising pigs, and beca cold towards him ever since.
Thus, a rift ford between the two families.
Upon seeing this man, his uncle-in-law wanted to speak harshly, but suddenly, he rembered sothing, and his expression gradually ward.
He clearly rembered that Jiang Ning seed to like his daughter. Back then, Shen Bin even ntioned the two went to Yuzhou together for school, with a bit of displeasure in his words.
’The two young ones left ho to go to school in Yuzhou. They might secretly date now, and in the future, they could beco in-laws. If I offend Shen Bin now, and he lets his daughter badmouth later, that wouldn’t be good!’
Shen Ermao activated his imagination, calculating in his heart.
People often beco convinced of what they’ve deduced, even feeling sowhat smug about it.
After such calculations, his uncle-in-law Shen Ermao plastered a smile and warmly greeted: "Binzi is here, have a seat, grab so drinks!"
His aunt stepped forward with enthusiasm: "Oh, you’ve co, why bring gifts!"
Not just because of the gifts; mainly, Shen Bin’s appearance wasn’t bad. His facial features were righteous, his clothes tidy, his leather shoes polished, and his hair styled with gel, parted seven-three. Purely based on appearance, he was a low-budget rural middle-aged CEO.
Shen Bin responded with a smile, covering his mouth with his fist: "It’s the New Year; can’t show up empty-handed."
Not to ntion, having Shen Qing’e as a daughter, his appearance indeed had no flaw.
His aunt’s smile beca even more vigorous: "Co, Brother Bin, have a seat!"
Shen Bin had this intention all along, after a bit of polite refusal, he sat down at the dining table.
Seeing this, Shen Ermao beca inexplicably angry, cursing internally: ’Cao Lei Niang!’
He disliked seeing Shen Bin acting pretentious, especially since the older won in the village were fond of his act.
Shen Ermao was helpless; after all, the man had a beautiful daughter who might beco Jiang Ning’s in-law in the future.
After Shen Bin sat down, he discreetly observed the guests at the table, most seed familiar, but he wondered: ’Where’s Jiang Ning? Didn’t see him?’
He ca here to show his face; why else would he bring a gift box worth seventy to eighty yuan?
Shen Bin unintentionally glanced at the Wuliangye on the table, exclaiming internally: ’Good stuff!’
He smiled and said: "Hello everyone, quite a spread today!"
His uncle-in-law said proudly: "Oh, my nephew is here; of course, I’ll treat him well!"
Shen Bin: "Which one is your nephew?"
His uncle-in-law patted Jiang Ning’s shoulder: "Jiang Ning, my best nephew!"
Jiang Hu, with a face full of flesh, drank silently, cursing inwardly: ’Damn it, I’m not your nephew, am I?’
The forrly glorious younger brother was now humbling, Jiang Hu just hoped he didn’t settle scores with him.
Shen Bin carefully examined Jiang Ning, indeed seeing so familiarity, he exclaid: "Good lad, you’ve changed!"
Shen Bin thought to himself, this handsoness, even if compared to himself, could be neck and neck!
Jiang Ning, smiling brightly, replied: "Just grew a bit taller!"
Shen Bin forcefully suppressed his shock, paying much attention to appearances, and imdiately praised: "With your looks standing with my daughter, you make a perfect couple!"
Jiang Ning did not deny: "Qing E is quite beautiful."
Hearing this, Shen Bin felt a mixture of emotions; this prospective son-in-law not only looked as handso as himself, but his family background was also impeccable.
Such a marriage, even if the child’s mother didn’t agree, he was willing to accept!
After a brief chat with Jiang Ning, Shen Bin finally rembered today’s host Shen Ermao, then he spotted Shen Xuan, instinctively inquiring: "Shen Xuan, still at the construction site?"
Shen Xuan, who disliked this hypocritical neighbor, replied coldly: "Yes."
Shen Bin: "Oh, Ermao, your Xuanzi is great at everything, just too quiet!"
Shen Xuan ignored him.
Shen Bin awkwardly said: "This kid!"
As they say, guests bring gifts, his aunt picked up the Wuliangye to pour Shen Bin a drink.
Shen Bin hurriedly picked up the small cup; the wine was too good, thus using a small cup.
But as the cup was filled halfway, the bottle suddenly was empty, his aunt shook it, but it was gone.
The cup was already small, with only half a cup of such good wine, Shen Bin couldn’t taste much, transforming displeasure into a joke: "Hey, not enough wine, only half a cup left for ."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan was imdiately upset; his hobby was negated by his father, suffering a blow, just now being nagged by the hypocritical neighbor he always disliked, he had had enough.
