C550 Exclusion
Zhao Hanxian originally advocated frugality, but he did not expect so many people to come. For this reason, he even asked Bureau Z for instructions. The other regular commissar also understood that the old man had just recovered from a serious illness, so they were happy. Furthermore, it was his 70th birthday, so they did not have any objections. They even took some time to take a seat with the rest of the committee members. The entire leadership team was very united.
Before the banquet began, Zhao Hanxian was surrounded by all the male juniors and taught by them. The Matriarch was surrounded by a group of women who taught her how to teach her husband and son.
Zhang Muye's generation was in twos and threes. They were a group of friends that they found suitable to chat with. However, most of them were either Zhao Qiang, Zhao Jian, or some other young men who had quite a bit of achievements other than the two of them.
When Zhao Zhonghua's family arrived, it caused a slight disturbance. Many people looked at Zhang Muye's family with strange eyes. Zhao Hanxian waved at Zhao Zhonghua from the crowd. Zhao Zhonghua said a few words to Liu Rujun and then went to Zhao Hanxian's group.
Liu Rujun hesitated and finally said to Zhang Muye, "Muye, why don't you go and talk to your brother and brother? I will go and sit at my mother's place for a while."
Just as she was about to leave, Zhang Muye shouted, "Mom, don't go."
Zhang Muye knew what his mother would face if she walked into the crowd, and this was something Zhang Muye did not want to see. Zhang Muye still remembered the Matriarch's attitude towards his mother.
Liu Rujun's body shook. She turned around and said to Zhang Muye, "Be good, Muye. Mommy will know what to do."
After saying that, she strode towards the crowd with the Matriarch at the center.
However, the Matriarch did not even have the interest to look up at Liu Rujun. It was as if Liu Rujun was still in the air talking to the women around her. Liu Rujun was also sensible. She came in front of the crowd and called softly, "Mom."
As Zhang Muye expected, the Matriarch did not react at all and pretended not to hear him.
Liu Rujun had expected this to happen. She wanted to pretend she didn't care, but her face was still gloomy and she smiled. However, that smile seemed like she was forcing herself to smile. On the side, they heard the group of Sanba women snickering. It was as if they were extremely happy to see Liu Rujun defeated.
No one asked her to sit.
Liu Rujun stood by the side for a while and thought that she could not be too different, so she wanted to find a stool to sit down and listen to what the Matriarch said. She saw a stool not far away. Just as she was about to sit on it, she suddenly heard a loud shout, "Don't move. That is my stool."
Immediately following that, a fifteen year old Fatty came over and grabbed the stool in Liu Rujun's hand. Because he used too much force, Liu Rujun almost fell and staggered. Not far away, Zhao Zhongting saw it and immediately scolded, "Liu Bo, what are you doing? Give the stool to Aunty to sit."
Liu Bo was unhappy. "Who is she? This is my stool. Why should I let her sit on it?"
Liu Bo was Liu Yu's younger brother. He was very bold and actually dared to contradict Zhao Zhongting. Zhao Zhongting was angry and was about to teach this brat a lesson when he heard the Matriarch speak softly, "Ting Ting, why are you competing with the child? Furthermore, it was indeed Bobo's stool that people did not know the rules and randomly picked things up. Don't you see it too? "
This implicit meaning, this blatant protection, made the surrounding people instantly understand. Almost everyone except Zhao Zhonghua's family knew that the stool was actually here.
Thus, no one dared to speak on Liu Rujun's behalf anymore.
Zhao Zhonghua's face darkened, and his heart was filled with anger. However, he still stood up for Liu Rujun. It was not appropriate to be angry at a child, so he said to his mother. "Does Jun not have a seat here?"
The Matriarch's expression changed. "Did I say that I won't let her do it? It's just that she wants to find her own position. "
Zhang Muye's face turned angry and was about to flip out when he saw his mother, Liu Rujun, not far away, gently shaking her head at Zhang Muye. She meant to tell Zhang Muye not to be impulsive. She would rather suffer some grievances than let Zhang Muye and Zhao Zhonghua cause any trouble in the family. When the time came, she would not be able to stop them.
In any case, since she had been with Zhao Zhonghua, Liu Rujun had suffered a lot in the family. She didn't care about that anymore.
Third Brother Zhao Zhong's wife, Qian Guihua, sat close to the Matriarch. She quickly patted the Matriarch's back and said, "Mother, don't be angry. Why are you getting angry with a silly woman? You are a daughter of a rich family, so don't be angry. "
In order to flatter Qian Guihua, she stepped on Liu Rujun as if she was stepping on a kitten or a puppy.
Not far away, zhao Zhongzhi's expression became extremely ugly. "Don't say so much. That is your sister-in-law. Do you know the rules?"
Qian Guihua's face instantly became aggrieved. She saw that besides Zhao Zhongzhi's faction, Zhao Zhongting, especially the old man, Zhao Hanxian's expression became even uglier. She knew that in order to flatter the Matriarch, she had offended Zhao Hanxian and Zhao Zhongting. Fortunately, the Matriarch was very protective of Qian Guihua. Who asked her to give birth to a capable grandson, Zhao Kuan and Zhao Jian?
The Matriarch glared at her third son, zhao Zhongdou, and said: "This is not for you to say anything."
With the Matriarch backing them up, zhao Zhongzhi quickly shrank his head back.
The Matriarch was no longer interested in making things difficult for Liu Rujun. After all, Liu Rujun stood there obediently and could not find a place to vent her anger. She would just treat her as an invisible person and go wherever she fell in love with.
This scene made Zhang Muye even angrier, but his face was extremely calm. He found a stool and put it beside his mother to let her sit down. He turned around and saw Fatty, who was not far away from his mother just now, pointing at Liu Rujun and laughing at Zhang Muye. Liu Bo did not sit on the stool just now either. Instead, he stepped on it with one foot and made the stool dirty. No one said anything about him.0
"Third Brother, what do you think about what I did? Is it very good?" Liu Bo flattered Zhao Jian. They did not recognize this Third Brother, Zhang Muye. That was why Zhao Jian was his Third Brother. He had heard that Zhao Jian hated Zhang Muye's family and the Matriarch's attitude towards this family. Thus, Liu Bo stepped forward bravely.
Zhao Jian did not say anything. Instead, he patted Liu Bo's chubby head. Liu Bo suddenly felt that he had too much face. How could Zhao Jian's cousin value him so much?
His peers who were sitting beside Zhao Jian also laughed along with him. They pointed at Zhang Muye as if they were watching a joke.
This group of disciples kept a distance from Zhang Muye as if they were avoiding the plague. Even if there were one or two disciples who were at the edge of the circle who wanted to chat with Zhang Muye, they were scolded by their own parents and did not dare to go forward again.
Zhang Muye simply moved a stool out of the hall and sat in a corner of the courtyard to pour a cup of tea. Looking at the faces of these people, he felt that it was very funny!
"Third Brother!"
Just as he was extremely bored, he suddenly heard Zhao Ya's voice by his ear. Zhang Muye turned to his side. You still dare to talk to me? Look at how that old woman treats me and my mother. Aren't you afraid that she will blame you for being tainted by dirt while chatting with me?"
