The Zhao Family's villa was brightly lit, and all kinds of exquisite delicacies were placed in the dishes.
Today was the annual family gathering of the Zhao Family.
At the dining table, the old master of the Zhao family sat at the head of the table. The rest of his sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters all sat around him.
From the order of the seats, it was not difficult to see that the more Old Master Zhao loved her, the closer she was to him.
"Dad, I wish you good health and a long life!"
"Grandfather, I wish you good health and longevity. I wish you good luck!"
"Grandpa, I wish you a long life and a long life!"
The juniors all got up to send their sincere blessings to Old Master Zhao, and Old Master Zhao accepted them happily.
"Grandpa, I wish you..."
"That's enough. You don't have to be so polite..."
When the eldest son of the Zhao family, the second son, and their children were about to give their blessings and it was about to be the last three people, the girl got up and picked up her wine glass. When she was about to open her mouth to give her blessings, she was interrupted by the old master.
She bit her lip and looked very aggrieved. "Grandpa, but we haven't blessed you yet..."
"Zhao Ya Xin, didn't you hear that Grandpa asked your family to shut up?"
Zhangsun Chengma, who was sitting on the left side of the old master, interrupted her.
"Yaxin, I'm tired of all these blessings. If we don't want to say it, then let's not talk about it..."
As the third daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, Li Li naturally knew the temper of the old man. If her daughter said another word, she would be scolded.
"But Mom..."
Zhao Yaxin still wanted to say something, but her mother pulled her to sit down.
"Dad, please forgive me. Ya Xin still has a little temper..."
"Wow, do you really think you are still the eldest daughter of the Zhao family? Where do you come from?"
The one who spoke was Zhao Yaxin's second uncle's daughter, Zhao Huaiman, her cousin. She pouted at the simple man beside Zhao Yaxin and smiled disdainfully. "Grandpa doesn't want to listen to your family. You don't even know yourself? Look at your stupid husband! He has completely disgraced our Zhao Family!"
"If it weren't for the fact that your useless husband has affected the reputation of the Zhao Family, we wouldn't have asked for cooperation to run all over the place. Zhao Yaxin, you can still sit at the dining table today. It's Grandpa who is generous and doesn't care about it. Don't really think of yourself as a dish!"
Ever since he was a child, regardless of whether it was in appearance or talent, Zhao Huai'man had always been overwhelmed by Zhao Ya. When he was in school, he had even confessed his love to a boy, but the other party was deeply infatuated with his cousin.
Every time he thought of this, Zhao Huai'man would gnash his teeth in hatred.
"Cousin Huaiman is right. Since you married this fool two years ago, our Zhao Family has been regarded as a joke by every family in the riverside. We can't even raise our heads!"
Zhao Cheng attacked again.
"You..."
Zhao Ya Xin pursed her lips and was speechless.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Huai'an were right. Two years ago, her father brought back a unconscious man with wounds all over his body. He repeatedly told his wife, Li Li, that no matter what, he must do his best to save this man.
Later on, he did succeed, but he became a dumb fool who could only eat and drink with dull eyes.
At that time, Zhao Yaxin had just graduated from college, and her beautiful new year had just begun, but her father insisted that she marry this fool.
Before her father fainted because of injury, he had told her that as long as this man recovered one day, he would definitely let her and the Zhao family experience the glory that they had never dared to dream of before!
But since he married the fool, Old Master Zhao's impression of her family had been greatly reduced. Even after her father fell into a coma, his family's monthly economic expenses were reduced again and again. In the end, the mother and daughter, together with the fool's husband, were driven out of the Zhao family's villa and only let them come back once in a year.
The family of three could only live in the residential building, and her mother, Li Li, was even more embarrassed. She blamed all the blame on the fool's son-in-law.
But how could a fool know this? Every day, he would either go to his neighbor's house to ask for leftovers or to pick up rubbish to eat. When his neighbors saw him, they would scold him for taking a detour.
As for the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Zhao family to a fool, almost everyone, from rich families to ordinary people, knew about it. Everyone laughed at her.
"Shut up. Stop talking. Don't you think it's shameful enough?"
Li Li trembled with anger. If her husband hadn't been mad and married her daughter to a fool, would she have been pushed out of the Zhao family like this?
Thinking of this, she kicked her son-in-law hard under the table.
"Mom!" Zhao Yaxin was not pleased with her mother's actions.
It had to be said that even if she married a fool, Zhao Yaxin would still take good care of her husband as much as she could.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
At this moment, the fool put a piece of pastry into his mouth and made a strange whining sound.
"Look, the fool is sick!"
Zhao Cheng sneered.
"Stay away from him. I'm afraid of being infected. Who knows if there's any blood on a fool? In the future, don't take him to the Zhao Family. What bad luck!"
Zhao Huaiman covered his mouth and waved his hand in disgust, as if there were really some drugs floating over with the air.
"Ye Fan... Hubby!"
Only Zhao Ya knew that this was what her husband looked like when he was happy. Every time he ate his favorite food, Ye Fan would make strange sounds.
"Oh, it's so kind of you to call me that!"
Zhao Cheng smirked and picked up a plate of the same pastries. "Tut, tut, tut..." He said to Ye Fan in a dog-like voice, "Brother-in-law, I still have something here. Come and eat!"
As he spoke, he threw the cake onto the ground.
"Right, right, right, brother-in-law, I have one too!"
Zhao Huai'an imitated his cousin's movements and threw the cake not far away. He pointed at the cake and said, "Brother-in-law, go quickly. The cake is over there!"
"You..."
Zhao Yaxin's eyes were red. Old Master Zhao had seen all this, but he did not move at all.
The Zhao Family had gone too far!
"Honey, let's go!"
She got up angrily and pulled Ye Fan to pull this disgusting place away. Unexpectedly, Li Li didn't want to leave.
"Why are you so angry? Your cousin is playing with Ye Fan!"
After saying that, Li Li quickly smiled at the old man sitting in the front. "Dad, I'm sorry! This child doesn't know the rules. You're magnanimous. Don't argue with her..."
"Mom!" Zhao Ya was still very angry. "They bullied Ye Fan like this. If you don't leave, I'll go with Ye Fan!"
Li Li opened her mouth. She knew that Zhao Cheng and Zhao Huai'an had gone too far, but what could she do? Her husband, Zhao Zhilong, was lying in bed like a vegetable now. She couldn't go to the ward even if she wanted to accompany him. How could she live without the money given by the Zhao family?
"Humph, let's go. Don't even think about coming back once you walk out of this door!"
Finally, Old Master Zhao spoke.
