To be honest, before Xiao Minxing mentioned Mina's family, I had never even thought about this issue. During the day, I was feeling down because Mina's family rarely visited, but I didn't expect that even though he couldn't go, he was thinking much further ahead than I was.
Moreover, I thought this method was great; it was just strange how Xiao Minxing knew about Mina's family.
He smiled and said, "Of course I asked her. However, according to her, she wanted us to go our separate ways. But I think since we're all starting from Haicheng, why not get in touch with them? If I really can't make it, you can just go with them."
I lightly pinched his arm and said, "Then why didn't you say so earlier? You made me worry that there would be too few people going."
Xiao Minxing sighed in response, "I also want to go with you. If we can finish these matters before we leave, then I can contact his family myself, and you won't have to worry about it."
The next morning, I called the number Xiao Minxing gave me.
The person who answered the phone should be Mina's mother, a very gentle woman. Upon hearing my name, she immediately said, "Anan! I've heard Mina mention you often."
I silently scolded Mina in my heart. She talked about her family to Xiao Minxing and mentioned me to her family, but why didn't she tell me that her family was also near Haicheng? For a long time, I thought she was an orphan like me.
When driving to pick up Mina's family, her parents were already ready and had brought some local snacks to give to her. Accompanying them were Mina's brother and sister-in-law. However, her brother and sister-in-law seemed a bit odd and felt somewhat out of place compared to Mina's parents.
Although her parents lived in the countryside, they appeared to be well-educated people. After exchanging pleasantries, they expressed their gratitude to me in Mina's tone and then said they were causing me trouble.
Of course, I didn't see it as trouble. Besides, having grown up without parents around, seeing how happy Mina's family was made me quite envious. So I started chatting with them.
Her brother and sister-in-law didn't say much; after getting in the car, they played on their mobile phones for a while before leaning back and falling asleep. They only woke up when we arrived in Haicheng and looked out the window saying, "Haicheng really is different. If we had known it would be like this, we should have come earlier."
Mina's Parents Although there was an unhappy expression on their faces, they did not blame them but instead said to me, “Anan, we are from a small place and have never seen the world, so please don’t laugh at us.”
I hurriedly replied, “You’re too polite. I’m also from a small place, so there’s nothing to laugh about.”
Considering that we would be flying from Haicheng to Hong Kong the next day, I took Mina's parents to my home to stay that night.
Mina called me and, upon hearing that I had arranged for her family to stay at my place, hurriedly said, “You should have let them stay in a hotel; why did you bring them to your house?”
“Hey, I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. Do you really consider me a friend? You’ve never mentioned your family all these years; I thought you were just like me!”
Mina explained on the other end, “I was worried about hurting your feelings! Knowing you’re alone and still showing off my parents in front of you every day.”
All my anger dissipated at once. It turned out that from the moment we became friends, she had always been thinking of me, while I had been judging her with a narrow mind.
Realizing this, I said to Mina, “Now I understand. Your family is like my family; isn’t it perfectly normal for them to stay at my place?”
Mina still sounded somewhat frustrated and anxiously said, “Oh, I’ll explain this to you later. Just don’t let them stay at your house; send them directly to a hotel.”
“I’ve already brought them home. Am I supposed to kick them out now?”
Upon hearing this, she let out a sigh.
I didn’t think much of it. Since they were Mina’s family and didn’t come often, and we had enough space at home, it was just one night together. It wasn’t a big deal. So after hanging up with Mina, I asked Sister Liu to help arrange accommodations for the four of them.
Xiao Zhe was usually not used to having so many people at home, so he was very excited, walking over to one person and then another to take a look.
Sister Wang called him when he was asking someone, and he used a sweet baby voice to call Grandpa and Grandma.
Mina's Parents also happily talked to him.
After her brother Miyong arrived, he first asked for our Wi-Fi password, then half-lay on the Sofa playing games on his Mobile Phone.
His parents tried to pull him up several times but couldn't, so I laughed and distracted them, saying, "It's fine, it's just playing on the Mobile Phone for a while. Let's go for a walk in the yard."
I accompanied Mina's parents while holding Xiao Zhe as we went outside.
Sister Liu was upstairs tidying up their room, while Sister Wang was busy making lunch.
However, after only half an hour, Sister Liu hurriedly ran over to find me.
She looked anxious, seemingly hesitant to speak in front of Mina's Family, so she pulled me aside.
Sister Liu usually wasn't as straightforward as Sister Wang, so I was used to it and followed her a few steps away.
“Anan, you should go check it out quickly. Mina's Family's younger brother is fighting with his wife and has broken many things in the house.”
At first, I thought I had misheard.
But Sister Liu took Xiao Zhe from my hands and dragged him toward the room, not caring about the two elderly people behind us.
We had just reached the Entrance when we heard Mi Xiaoyong cursing inside, mixed with the sound of things being thrown.
His wife looked calm, but when she started cursing, she was fierce. Not only did she swear fluently, but she also pointed out Miyong's pain.
As a result, the two of them argued more and more fiercely. I stood at the Entrance and didn’t dare to go in, completely confused about how this situation had arisen.
Mina's Family's parents also came over. As soon as they heard the noise inside, they hurriedly pushed the door open, scolding Miyong while pulling his wife away.
When I finally went in, I saw shattered glass all over the floor, and even the cushions on the Sofa were thrown everywhere. The TV remote was smashed on the ground.
I suddenly felt like the sky was falling down. I looked at Miyong in confusion and asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”
He shot me a glance and said, “Why should I tell you? Are you a cop? Even if you are, can’t you ask her?”
He pointed at his wife, who had just been pulled away with great difficulty by Mother Mi.
That woman immediately exploded again: “Ask me? You couldn’t even afford to buy a big house and come to Haicheng. What’s the use of envying others? And now you’re blaming me.”
Alright, I picked up on it a bit; they were arguing because of our family. But what could I do now?
I initially thought about calling Xiao Minxing, but then I remembered he was already overwhelmed with work. If I called him back to handle this matter, wouldn’t that just complicate things?
At this moment, Miyong was already irritated again by her words. He took a few steps forward and said, “Am I envious? Isn’t it you who keeps saying how good it is here and there while making me suffer?”
