119, banquet episode, Jiang Min
"Mom, this meat bone is so delicious~ it tastes so delicious~!" The child Zeng Aijun grabbed a meat bone with both hands and gnawed it, his mouth full of oil.
"Haha, eat slowly!" Zeng Lin's wife gently wiped the oil from her son's mouth.
Another eight-year-old Jiang Dongliang sang: "I want to eat meat and bones too~!"
"Okay, mom, let's pick it up for you!" Jiang Feng's wife He Xiaohua hurriedly picked up a big piece of meat bone and put it in her son's bowl. Although their family is still good, they can't eat meat every day. It's rare that my cousin's house treats her, so naturally she has to let her baby son eat more.
At the dinner table, several men were sitting on the side. Zhang Liangping made some wine, so the men naturally had to drink a glass or two, while both mothers were caring for their sons. Jing Qingxin sat next to her godmother, eating and chatting. On the whole table, it was probably the only one left alone, Jiang Feng's eldest daughter Jiang Min.
While eating, Jiang Min secretly looked at Jing Qingxin, who was sitting through her mother. Seeing her smiling face talking to her cousin, she seemed to be very interested, and her eyes darkened.
Jing Qingxin's keen senses naturally sensed the gaze. She looked slightly and locked on Jiang Min, who was eating vegetables quietly, but for some reason she was looking at herself frequently!
After thinking a little, Jing Qingxin no longer struggled to guess. She had a clear idea of everything, so let's continue eating and chatting!
After mid-drinking, there was a lively conversation on the dinner table. Several men were in high spirits and were drinking. The two children were also funny. I would rather give in to each other. What do you eat, I would also eat. Several women were also talking to each other, creating a lively scene.
"Xiao Min, why don't you speak?" Jing Suyun suddenly realized that her niece Jiang Min was very quiet tonight, and she seemed to have never spoken.
"Don't worry about her, cousin, she's just a dull!" Jiang Feng's wife said with a smile. Her daughter is just a dull and stupid person.
Jing Suyun frowned slightly. She knew that her cousin and her husband always favored boys over girls and did not care much about her eldest daughter. She had the idea of letting Jiang Min be their daughter. Later, when she mentioned it tactfully, her cousin's wife refused. She knew that the couple was still worried that they would be involved in their family due to their own reasons, so they did not dare to have close contact with them.
Secondly, the most important thing is of course that all the housework at home depends on the eldest daughter's care. Jiang Min's mother is reluctant to lose all the labor force. Besides, when her daughter is old, she can receive a betrothal gift and talk about marriage. How could she give her half-old daughter to others? Then she has given birth in vain?
Because the two women had different thoughts, the matter was left in the end!
Jing Suyun still cared about Jiang Min from the bottom of her heart and asked gently: "Xiao Min, is it because she is not feeling well? Or is the food not to the taste?"
Looking at his cousin's careful expression, Jiang Min lowered her head and murmured, "Cousin, why don't you recognize me as your daughter?"
This sentence was very low, but everyone talking on the table seemed to hear it. The table mat was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Jiang Min.
Jing Suyun looked slightly stunned. She didn't know why her niece suddenly appeared like this, how did she answer this?
Jing Qingxin beside her was slightly stunned, her expression was a little embarrassed. After all, this also involved her, right?
Jing Qingxin couldn't help but think that Jiang Min looked at her before. Could it be that her godmother recognized her as her goddaughter? Jiang Min also wanted to be her godmother's daughter, but she was defeated by herself, so she was sad and resentful?
After a little stunned, Jiang's mother beside Jiang Min immediately reached out and slapped Jiang Min's body, and said angrily: "You damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiang Min, who was beaten a few times, still lowered her head, not making trouble or talking, making people unable to see clearly.
"Xiaohua, what are you doing? The child is still young, just talk about it carefully, why do you start!" Jing Suyun persuaded.
"If you don't teach me a lesson, I'm afraid even my parents will forget it." He Xiaohua said angrily. Look at this dead girl, what are you saying? Do you dislike them as parents?
Zeng Lin and his wife sat quietly. They were not very familiar with the Jiang family, and it was difficult to say something rashly. Jing Qingxin and Gao Shen also quietly did not interrupt. Let’s learn about the situation first!
"Look at you, what are you saying? No matter what, you will not change your parents." Jing Suyun said kindly.
Seeing that the awkward atmosphere was about to be resolved smoothly, Jiang Min, who had always lowered her head, said again: "Cousin, I want to be your daughter!"
‘Pa’
He Xiaohua slapped Jiang Min hard, and Jiang Feng didn't stop and persuade him. He just looked at Jiang Min with a dark face. This daughter was always dull and could not speak, but sometimes she could make people angry and was really not pleasing!
When Jing Qingxin heard Jiang Min's words, her lips twitched. This girl's personality is a bit of a second-year period! She doesn't even look at the occasion and doesn't care about anything. She's just being beaten for nothing!
Jing Suyun quickly grabbed He Xiaohua's hand and dissuaded: "Okay! Just say it well, you have to do it!"
Jiang Min did not dodge at all, letting her mother hit her, bit her lower lip tightly, and did not let herself speak. She looked very sad. She was very happy to be able to come to her cousin's house tonight. Her parents usually don't let her visit her.
But she didn't expect that the gentlest and most loved her cousin in her heart actually recognized another strange girl as her daughter. How could she not make her feel sad and sad? Her parents only treasure her younger brother and did not care about her at all. But the cousin is different. She will give her a lot of candy and treat her very well. Her expression and words are very gentle. A woman like her cousin is what her mother should look like.
Since she was very young, she had hoped to be her cousin's daughter and be held in her palms. She had always had such a dream in her heart.
But now, the dream is shattered...!
She just wanted someone to care for her, and she would smile and ask her if she was hungry or not? If she was tired, she would care about her happiness and sadness! That's all!
As Jiang Min thought about it, Jiang Min's eyes were red, tears fell silently, her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she said in a choking voice: "Cousin, I want to be your daughter!"
Perhaps it was because she felt that the dream in her heart was shattered and unwilling to accept it, or perhaps because she had been suppressed for a long time, Jiang Min expressed her expectations in her heart regardless of the situation. She did not feel any warmth or thoughts about the Jiang family!
"Damn girl! What are you talking about?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but shouted with a dark face. Her face was thrown away by her. Tonight was his cousin's kinship banquet, but his eldest daughter said such unceremonious words. What did others think? If outsiders know, they thought they had bad intentions and were sabotaging!
