Chapter 735: Looking at the Brother-in-law

~18 min read 3,420 words

"Don't mention it, Nana is really amazing. This is a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows be shaved, really tough. I feel that Yunmiao Village's popularity is not as big as hers now. Look, brushing ten videos, three of them must be about her. A female anchor who sings on a certain platform, sued 156 people for rumors and slander, and opened the trial at the Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court today..." Hu Youyu held his phone and clicked his tongue in wonder.

This was the afternoon ten days after Nana left. The sun was warm, and the four-sided courtyard could not blow away the cool breeze. After lunch, the remaining four people in the courtyard, Wang Yan, Xu Hongdou, Hu Youyu, and Bai Manjun, sat in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.

Except for Wang Yan holding a tablet, the three were all brushing videos. Xu Hongdou smiled: "Look, legal weapons are the most useful. Now, except for those who are yin and yang and say cool words, there are no more vulgar and abusive words. Even if they have eight guts, they dare not say it. There are also many people who rubbed Nana's traffic before and followed blindly without knowing the truth. This time Nana sued them all. Their traffic is much bigger than that in the comment area. They have their suffering, let them talk nonsense."

Bai Manjun said: "But Nana's case opened a bit fast, right? Isn't it usually one or two months?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Maybe it's because this matter has too much influence, so the local court attaches great importance to it and arranged it in advance. After all, the whole network is paying attention and discussing it, and public opinion influence cannot be ignored. And cyberbullying has been common in recent years, but ordinary people don't have the ability to prepay more than one million in litigation fees, let alone the time and energy to deal with it. Nana is different, has money, has time and energy, and has a certain influence, which is typical. It has a certain purification effect on the internet environment. At least for the next two months, many keyboard warriors should hesitate when speaking."

Ordinary people can't afford to sue, can't afford to consume, let alone this kind of cyberbullying. In fact, more than a hundred people were Nana's mercy. There were many others whose speeches she thought were acceptable, so she let them go. If not, she would have to get one or two thousand people. These one hundred people were those she had read through, and she chose the particularly hateful ones from the list of thousands. She didn't want to sue all day, and there were hidden worries in the future. Dogs jump over the wall when they are anxious, and who knows what people will do when they are crazy. So the total number was small, and the probability of perverts was reduced.

After brushing her phone for a while, Hu Youyu sighed and threw the phone on the small table, feeling: "It's getting more and more meaningless now."

Bai Manjun took the lead: "I think it's quite good, why is it meaningless?"

"You came late, you don't understand."

Hu Youyu scratched his unwashed chicken nest head irritably. He hadn't gone out today: "Before, everyone stayed like this. Master Ma sat on that platform and meditated for a big half of the day, occasionally asking someone 'Tea?', not chatting about anything, just sitting and drinking tea water without feeling bored. Dama, since being enlightened by Wang Laoshi, has become much more active. Every day, she is either sitting here or in the side room, occasionally standing up to move her body. This girl also won't speak, can choke people to death, but also feels interesting.

Nana, she has a good relationship with Dama. The two sisters made some dark dishes when they were fine. Sometimes it was delicious, sometimes it was not delicious. The sisters were together and whispered, and didn't feel bored. It was almost like background sound on TV. And Nana would develop new drinks from time to time, making them in the courtyard for us to drink.

Wang Laoshi and them, let alone, although they show off their love when they are fine, everyone is very gregarious and gets along very well. When everyone is together, they feel very comfortable. Sometimes they talk about the ground, sometimes they don't say anything, and they feel very natural.

But now? Old Ma, Dama, Nana, they have all left. The new tenant in the room Nana vacated can't talk to us, and I feel awkward sitting together. Yunmiao Village has also become lively, and there are piles of people everywhere. Before, going out for a walk could relax the mood, but now going out is just adding blockage to yourself.

Although it is meaningless now and boring, it is two feelings compared to before. Do you understand what I mean? Wang Laoshi? Hongdou?"

"Understand, but what I understand is that you might be too idle."

Wang Yan smiled, "You have been lazy for a while. How many videos have you recorded? How many have you edited? What is the feedback? How is the data? Are there any areas for improvement? If so, how to improve? Do you want to do some new series? How is the guitar you brought selling? What is the evaluation of purchasing users? What are the problems? How to solve them? Oh, by the way, aren't you still writing original songs? Have you written good lyrics? Are you satisfied with the music? Is the car available? Is the fixed job solved? Are the five insurances and one fund paid? Have you found a girlfriend? Have you bought a house? Everything in life is going well, only sighing about life?"

The air suddenly became quiet, Hu Youyu's face instantly became awkward, and after a long time, he sighed: "Really meaningless..."

While speaking, he got up with an "ouch": "Sister, go out for a stroll?"

Bai Manjun laughed out loud and nodded: "Okay, then you hurry up and wash up, what does it look like with a chicken nest head."

Looking at Hu Youyu's slightly decadent back, Xu Hongdou finally laughed out loud, gave Wang Yan a slap: "Annoying, why are you hitting him when it's good?"

"I think it's quite good." Bai Manjun laughed, "Save him from being dangling all day, thinking about nothing, worrying about nothing."

"Yes, that's the meaning. He, he is just idle, thinking about those things that have nothing to do with it." Wang Yan drank tea calmly and said, "He, he has a bit of meaning of being content with small wealth. When I first met him, his mental state was particularly bad, drinking, smoking, and staying up late every day. Wanting to be famous but unable to write good songs, wanting to work hard but unable to find direction. Later, by chance, when I went out to play with Hongdou, I caught a thief and became popular, and he also had ideas, learned to edit videos, started a short video account, and started live streaming.

After that, he found his direction and was happy and energetic every day. From the time he started to now, it has been almost two months. Plus the popularity he rubbed from connecting with Nana before, and the popularity he gained from interviewing Yunmiao Village like Ma Qiushan, and his own hard work of updating short videos on time every day and live streaming singing, he has more than 60,000 fans, and the number of live viewers is stable at 600 or 700. He earns 80 or 100 yuan from gifts every day, and some of the goods he brings, such as guitars and coffee, also have some income, which can earn 4,000 or 5,000 yuan.

Isn't this just a bit content, without any motivation to move forward, and the whole person collapsed again, lazy and scattered, and couldn't lift any spirit in doing anything. So, his literary youth's moaning without illness came up again, and he had to be stimulated when he was fine, giving him some motivation."

Xu Hongdou curled her lips: "Then your stimulation is not light, just now your set of combos, Hu Laoshi was about to break the defense."

"It is to let various pressures fill his stupid brain that doesn't think about anything in a short time. When the smart IQ occupies the high ground again, he will have motivation again."

"You have many crooked reasons, one set after another."

Seeing the two flirting, Bai Manjun smiled: "I will also go back to the room to tidy up, you two stay."

"He, he is just envious, jealous, and hateful. He also wants a sweet love, but he can't find it. Otherwise, he must be more loving than us. Right, Hongdou, come, give me a kiss."

This is not avoiding people. Bai Manjun showed a disgusted expression and waved her hand away.

Only the two remained in the courtyard. Xu Hongdou let out a long breath: "Actually, Hu Laoshi is right, Yunmiao Village is really meaningless now."

Wang Yan smiled: "Then you are also idle. In a while, Hu Laoshi and the others will leave, and there will be no one in the courtyard. Shall we practice? I guarantee you will find it interesting."

"Go to you." Xu Hongdou gave a charming look, called a charming person, "Or I should go and help, anyway, it's idle."

"Have you been unable to stay for only two days?"

"Yes, it just feels like there is nothing to do. I have seen it clearly for a while. It won't work if it's too busy. Like before, I don't want to experience it again. But it won't work if it's too idle. Staying like this is really meaningless, heart-flustered, feeling very sorry for myself. I am particularly curious, how did you stay so steadily?"

"Look, look." Wang Yan handed the tablet in his hand.

"What is it?" Muttering, Xu Hongdou took the tablet and looked at it, stunned for a moment, "This is all ancient prose, what are you looking at?"

"Daozang."

"Do you recognize the words?"

"This is what you said, if I don't recognize it, why am I looking at it." Wang Yan took the tablet and locked the screen, got up and said, "Let's go, you are so uncomfortable staying, let's go out for a stroll, it's been a long time since we took photos, drive to Erhai for two laps, take photos, eat in the city and come back."

"Really just taking photos?"

"Then you can practice if you want, I have no opinion."

Xu Hongdou gave him a look: "Taking photos is fine, it's just that I haven't posted on Moments for a long time."

"Then let's go?"

"I'll go change clothes."

Their speed was much faster than Hu Youyu and Bai Manjun, mainly because they had communicated deeply, so they didn't pay much attention to external dressing. Although it is said that women are for the sake of their lovers, after a long time, they are not willing to be so troublesome.

The two left the courtyard, greeted the tourists who recognized them along the way, squeezed to the entrance of the village, drove the tall Raptor away from the village, and drove outside.

How can people get tired of staying? Human inertia is actually very terrible. The lazier you are, the lazier you are. Moreover, staying is not really nothing to do. It is the 21st century, not the time when you used to bask in the sun for a day. There are always some things to pass the time.

It's just that she has no bottom in her heart. She is in her thirties, not a little girl in her twenties. The shrinking savings, the fiercely competitive workplace, and the love that has not seen results are all sources of her anxiety because she cannot afford to consume. She won't think when she is busy, but she can't help but be anxious when she is idle. It is the lack of security.

This is easy to solve, a marriage certificate is enough.

It's just that it will take less than half a month to go back to Shandong to meet the parents with Xu Hongdou, so this anxiety will exist for such ten days, no big problem.

After such a long time, Yunmiao Village's popularity still hasn't decreased, but added a fire. On the side of this two-kilometer road into the village, there are many food stalls that came spontaneously, and the government also brought mobile toilets, like a food festival, very lively, but also very congested.

People's herd behavior of following the trend is extremely terrible, but it is indeed making money. Many people are happy to see it. The happiest is naturally the Dali government, and the next is the lower level, the leadership teams at all levels around Erhai. After all, Yunmiao Village can't receive so many people, and Dali itself is a popular tourist city. You can't come for nothing. It's just that Yunmiao Village's credit is that people came to Dali because of Yunmiao Village. This is the origin.

After finally rubbing out of Yunmiao Village's road, the spacious road that can be traveled quickly makes people feel a sense of relief.

Xu Hongdou enjoys the wind of Erhai very much. She stands by Erhai, opens her arms, embraces the cold wind that is not warm, her long hair flies, covering her eyes and blocking the corners of her mouth. She reaches out to smooth her hair, turns around and looks back, walking toward the man who is taking photos of her. After this set of actions, it is a pile of beautiful photos, she is very capable.

Just at this time, a taxi drove by, and Hongdou, who was going to Wang Yan, froze in place.

Wang Yan naturally looked at the taxi going away along her gaze, strange: "What's wrong?"

"I seem to have seen my Xu Hongmi." Xu Hongdou shook her head, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

There are multiple children in a family, and the address is still relatively strange. When I was young, I called brother and sister. When I grew up, I was sensible, sometimes called brother and sister, sometimes called by the big number, sometimes called by the nickname. When addressing parents, I would say "my dad," "my mom," and rarely say "our dad and mom." When I was older, forty or fifty years old, I returned to the address of brother and sister. It deeply reflects the different tastes of feelings between brothers and sisters of the same mother with the change of age.

Wang Yan asked: "Did you tell your family about us?"

"I told you long ago, and there is less than half a month before we go back, how can I not tell? If I give my parents a surprise attack, they won't scold me to death."

"Then you might not have seen it wrong. What if your sister really came? Thinking of coming over early to see what my brother-in-law is like, and checking for you?"

"Hmm?" Xu Hongdou was stunned, "Don't mention it, it's really possible, this is something Xu Hongmi can do. I'll call and ask her."

While speaking, she took out her phone from her pocket, brushed it twice, and called her sister Xu Hongmi directly.

"Hello, Xu Hongmi, where are you? Did you come to Yunmiao Village?"

"What? You really came? Came by yourself?"

"Oh, with Xiao Lingdang. Hey, was that taxi that passed by just now you?"

"I was thinking I saw it wrong. That's fine, you let the master turn back. It's crowded in the village, can't eat or drink, and the key is traffic jam. We drove out for half an hour. Let's eat in the city and go back at night. Yes, we are waiting for you on the side of the road, it is a modified black Raptor, you will see it when you come, it is very easy to recognize, we are also standing on the side of the road."

After a phone call, Xu Hongdou had no choice: "This Xu Hongmi, she really came. Not only her, but also brought the child. Really can toss, you tell me what I should say."

"This is a biological sister, otherwise she wouldn't have brought the child from far away to crowd people?" Wang Yan carried the camera, pulled Hongdou across the road, "You said it, your sister is a workaholic, such a busy person, if she doesn't care about you, would she bring the child from far away to add trouble to you?"

"Then I can't know, it's just that I have grown up hard under her claws for so many years, and I have some stress reactions. I told you, her mouth is poisonous, there are no good words in her mouth."

Wang Yan shook his head amusingly: "How can it be as serious as you said."

"You watch."

The two stood on the side of the road for a while, passed by I don't know how many taxis, finally, a car turned on the turn signal and slowly pulled over and stopped a few steps away from them.

Xu Hongdou said she didn't see it, but still ran over and opened the car door, welcoming the little ancestor of the family: "Lingdang, did you miss your aunt?"

Lingdang is Xu Hongmi's child, a cute five-year-old girl. She greeted her aunt happily, tossing in Hongdou's arms. It was like a puppy seeing its owner, twisting its little butt and wagging its little tail.

As for Xu Hongmi, she didn't care, pretending not to see it, and even sent a white eye first: "You say you are also, now it's winter, why bring Lingdang so far, what if you get sick."

"Aunt, I miss you." Lingdang said in a milky voice, full of feelings.

"Aunt also misses you." Xu Hongdou stuck her face with the child, casually saying, "Introduce, this is my boyfriend, Wang Yan, this is my sister, Xu Hongmi. This is my sister's daughter, Lingdang."

"Hello, Sister Hongmi, and Xiao Lingdang, hello to you too." At this time, Wang Yan had already followed the taxi master and took out Xu Hongmi's big suitcase from the trunk. Bringing children out, messy things have to be brought.

"Hello, then I will call you Wang Yan, no problem?"

"Of course no problem."

It was Lingdang who blinked her big eyes, looked at Wang Yan and asked: "Hello, Uncle-in-law."

This looks like a child who recognizes learning. Maybe she asked Xu Hongmi about the kinship on the way. She didn't remember anything else, just remembered such an address.

Wang Yan laughed, looking at Xu Hongmi, who was unclear, and Xu Hongdou, who was blushing in front of her relatives, said to Lingdang: "Hello, hello. But there is no red envelope now. I will make it up for you during the New Year."

"Want a big one."

"Must be."

"Xiao Lingdang, how did Mom teach you?" Xu Hongmi looked at her daughter unhappily.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Children, of course, are enthusiastic about red envelopes. Uncle-in-law has been called, and you have to want it if you don't want it. I see her, she is small and ghostly, she has her own ideas in her heart, and she knows the distance. Isn't it, Xiao Lingdang."

He reached out and tapped the little nose, smiling, looking doting.

Xu Hongmi was speechless for a while. She was surprised by Wang Yan's naturalness, really not seeing outside, let alone the nervousness of meeting the woman's relatives for the first time. She gave Xu Hongdou, who was blushing, a wink, and the sisters transmitted information through their eyes across the air.

Wang Yan didn't care what they were winking at, opened the car bucket, and easily stuffed the suitcase in.

"Sister Hongmi, it's almost night, I guess you two didn't eat well on the plane, let's eat first. Hongdou said you are also coming to Dali for the first time, let's taste the local specialties here. They are all eaten by me and Hongdou before, Hongdou's evaluation of this shop is very high, and the taste is good."

Xu Hongmi naturally had no objection. The three adults and one child got on the car, driving on the road by Erhai, laughing and laughing... ===== CHAPTER 736 =====
