In the private room.
It was time for dinner. Before Pollard’s parents arrived, the kitchen had begun to serve food.
Melissa asked, “Pollard, what’s the matter? Is there traffic jam on the road? Why didn’t you pick you up?”
“It doesn’t matter. We’ll be there soon. Let’s sit down first.”
He had the final say in the home field of his brother-in-law.
The four young people took their seats first. About 15 minutes later, Pollard’s parents arrived.
Brucille had a little impression of the two old men. The aunt came in and glanced at them and said unpleasantly, “You have no rules, hmph.”
This made Brucille and Monique a little embarrassed. After all, they were indeed juniors.
Monique stood up and greeted politely, “Uncle, Auntie, you’re here.”
Brucille also stood up with her. After all, he had to be more polite to the old man.
But Pollard’s mother, Liu Yan, just glanced at them and snorted coldly, “Well!”
This was a greeting.
Pollard said politely, “Unordinary, Monique, sit. We are family. Dad, why are you and Mom so late?”
Pollard’s father, Huang Sihai, who had a long face, said very unpleasantly, “Do you think we are waiting for you to eat every day? Other people have grandchildren to carry, but who can we carry? Of course, we will go to the old school to kill time.”
Brucille smelt the smoke of gunpowder at the scene.
It was obviously inappropriate to bring grandchildren on the table because Melissa was still sitting in a wheelchair.
Monique stretched out her hand to caress her sister’s, but her sister, Melissa, was quite calm. She said, “Dad, I’m also discussing this with Pollard.”
Pollard also said, “Yes, dad. Melissa is already pregnant. I also quit smoking and drinking recently, but I didn’t expect this accident. Let’s eat first. It’s rare for a family to have a meal together.”
The uncle and aunt were sitting at the main table, and Brucille, as the “outside guest”, got up to toast to the two elders.
He said politely, “Uncle Huang, I’d like to propose a toast to you first. I heard that Uncle Huang is the vice president of the City Painting Association. When you’re free, I’d like to ask you for some calligraphy and paintings.”
Huang Sihai had to sit at the dinner table and chat. He had to pick the people he liked. He was the president of the calligraphy association, who had just been selected three days ago. So he didn’t agree with Brucille’s flattery.
He lazily raised a 20-centimeter-high glass and said, “Bruce, you’re still a unemployed vagrant, aren’t you? Do you think our calligraphy Association is a place for unemployed vagrants? If you look down on it, this is called Tao diarrhea, and this is called art.”
Brucille gritted his teeth and said, “Uncle Huang is right. I plan to find a decent job too…”
“That’s right. A man who has hands and feet is living off a woman at home. People will laugh at him if they talk about it. Tyrion are also prideful people. It’s okay if they don’t have a son, but they still find a live-in son-in-law who is a coward who lives off women. Alas.”
When Brucille’s butt touched the bench again, he felt as if there was a needle under him. If he hadn’t respected an elder, he would have overturned the table now.
Pollard’s expression was calm as water, as if nothing had happened.
Melissa said, “Dad, you can’t say that. My brother-in-law is now a special recommendation expert of the People’s Hospital. Just the annual salary is more than 200, 000. This income is equal to the vice president.”
Liu Yan said unceremoniously, “Melissa, I don’t want to criticize you. You and Pollard have been married for several years. You must have a little reaction. Even a hen has had several eggs every year.”
“Pollard, you too. What on earth is going on? Your body has always been very good. You also pay attention to exercise at ordinary times. If you have problems, you should do a comprehensive examination. What’s more, there are many doctors in the Ching family.”
Good heavens.
Brucille finally understood. His son was still in good health after a round of compliments. How could his health not be good? He had a wife at home and could play with women outside.
Liu Yan was clearly saying that Melissa was ill and that there were many doctors of the Ching family.
Melissa finally showed some anger on her face and said unhappily, “Mom, we need two people to give birth to a child. Pollard has been busy with work recently, and most of the time, he didn’t come home at night. I want to give birth to a child, but I can’t have a child with another man, can I?”
Huang Sihai immediately threw his chopsticks on the table.
Looking at his son, he shouted, “Pollard, is this what a woman should say?”
Huang Sihai was good at killing people. After being threatened by his father, Pollard immediately turned to look at his wife. Obviously, his face was not good, but he was very unhappy.
Brucille could tell from the changes in his facial expression that if he and Monique were not sitting here, he would definitely make a move.
Melissa looked at her man calmly. She said this for a reason, and it was a fact. So she forced to ask, “Isn’t what I said a fact? In the past month, you only had two days at home.”
Liu Yan took the responsibility without hesitation. She said, “Mengxue, didn’t I tell you last month? I’m not feeling well, so let him come back more often.”
“You also said that the hotel’s work is usually late. My son is very tired, and it is even more difficult to raise a woman who can spend money. Is it possible that you let him marry his wife and forget his mother? Regardless of whether I and his father live or die?”
Brucille raised his head and looked helplessly at his wife sitting next to him. He wanted to know what this food meant.
Monique’s face was extremely ugly. Of course, she would not agree to their gang-up bullying her elder sister.
She had not spoken for a long time. At this time, she said with a smile, “Aunt Liu, I can understand that you are not in good health. But brother-in-law spent most of his time outside socializing, so it is inevitable that it will affect the relationship between couples. Such a big thing happened to my sister, so he can’t stay in the hospital. In my opinion, he also needs to be corrected. What do you think of brother-in-law?”
Pollard gave his sister-in-law some respect and said lightly, “Now we can’t set a high limit on this. We have to accompany more leaders every day. I can’t do anything about it.”
Since Pollard said so, Monique could not say anything more.
However, the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward, and Brucille couldn’t stand up to toast someone now, so he would look for trouble later.
His son-in-law and his unemployed identity as a vagrant had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It would be difficult to change it in a short time, so he obediently peeled the crystal shrimp and put it in his wife’s bowl.
This was also borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
