A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her
Chapter 179 Exposed
Yan Lijun was listening to the conversation between her mother-in-law and everyone else, and she was extremely nervous. However, she did not dare to speak out, for fear that she would not even be able to get in the door.
When the bride arrived, Xu Huaizhi carried Xu Huaiyu out of the house and placed her on a bench in the main room. A group of old men chatted and teased Xu Huaiyu.
Yan Lijun sat among a group of women, listening to them chatting, feeling very uncomfortable.
At nearly half past eleven, the kitchen was ready and most of the guests had arrived. There were more than ten tables filled with food in the yard and the main room, and everyone was waiting for dinner.
The aroma coming from the kitchen makes people salivate and look forward to it.
Liu Guifang asked Yan Lijun: "Lijun, where is your bride's escort? It's been over half an hour, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Yan Lijun was so anxious that her palms were sweating, knowing that waiting any longer would only make things worse.
She made up her mind and said, "We don't have anyone to send off the bride. My eldest brother is getting married today, and we are too busy at home."
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
"What? No one is there to send you off to marry?"
"You came alone?"
"Didn't they say there would be three more turns and one more sound? Could it be that they were pulled over from behind?"
...
Everyone was talking about it.
Liu Guifang was furious. Seeing Yan Lijun's ugly face, she had a very bad premonition.
"If they don't come, what about the betrothal gifts? What about the three turns and one ring that our family sent? When will they be brought over?"
Yan Lijun looked at her apologetically and decided to tell the truth in order to seek leniency.
"Mom, I'm really sorry. I...my eldest brother is getting married, and our family kept two dongs and one gong from the betrothal gift and brought me a watch." God knows that she was shaking all over when she said this.
She had a feeling that once this sentence came out, today's wedding would be over.
Sure enough, Liu Guifang almost fainted from lack of breath, and was woken up by Yang Fengmei by pinching her Ren Zhong.
Not only the women were excited, but the men were also excited and everyone started to have a heated discussion.
This is simply the biggest joke of Xu Jiatun this year, no doubt about it. It is even more shocking than when Xu Meiling won over the golden bachelor Chen Jianghe.
The Xu family didn't want this to happen, did they? They spent the whole day hunting geese, only to be pecked in the eye by a goose.
Liu Guifang boasted every day about her youngest son finding such an outstanding city daughter-in-law, but it turned out that she was from a poor family and even kept her daughter's betrothal gift to marry her son. Isn't this selling her daughter?
Everything was said for a while.
Most people pretended to let Liu Guifang take it easy, but in fact they were laughing at the joke and were very happy.
Xu Huaiyu was not feeling well to begin with, but he forced himself to get up and attend the wedding. However, his fiancée stabbed him in the back so hard that he was completely embarrassed. He was already in a bad mood, and the shock caused him to faint.
Fortunately, the barefoot doctor was at the scene, took a look and said, "It's nothing serious, just a rage attack, just take a rest for a while."
He fainted at the right time, just in time to avoid everyone's ridicule.
Xu Mingshan's face turned pale and he had to stand up and speak to appease the guests.
Xu Huaizhi didn't expect such a change to happen. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. Anyway, it was a two-way fight.
He had advised Xu Huaiyu at the beginning that it is not easy to find a girl in the city. If you are after her city status, she will also want something from you.
Otherwise, who would marry into your family after having nothing better to do?
Most of the time, people weigh the pros and cons between each other. There is no love without reason.
Liu Guifang didn't care about the embarrassment anymore. The loss of such a huge sum of money made her extremely distressed. She insisted on grabbing Yan Lijun and trying to beat her up.
"Your Yan family is a poor family that has to rely on the betrothal gift from selling your daughter to marry your son. I don't care. You must return the betrothal gift to me intact today, or I will sue you."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I can't help it."
Yan Lijun apologized humbly. She was alone in a group of people, fighting alone. Xu Huaiyu fainted and no one said a word to help her. Perhaps if he was awake, there would be one more person to attack her.
Several old ladies who were on good terms with Liu Guifang helped her to curse, and what they said were very unpleasant, especially Yang Fengmei, who insulted Yan Lijun to the utmost.
Yan Lijun cried and apologized, feeling humble, helpless, and in pain...
Seeing how things had turned out, Chen Fengqin originally wanted to just leave. However, when she saw that she, a young girl, was surrounded and scolded by a group of old women, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she was the director of the Women's Department, and she had to speak when it was necessary.
"Stop cursing! Please be more polite. She is just a little girl and cannot make decisions for her parents. Who would be willing to give up their betrothal gifts to others?
If you ask me, the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Sister Liu, you still have to consult your in-laws to deal with this matter. It is useless to scold the little girl. "Chen Fengqin stood up and spoke a fair word.
The people around nodded: "That's right."
"makes sense."
"Chen Fengqin, you are talking without any pain in your waist, it seems that the incident didn't happen to you.
The Xu family is the victim. Do you understand that you, as the director of the Women's Department, are helping the evildoers to persecute the masses? How can that be justified?" Yang Fengmei held a grudge against Chen Fengqin because of the previous conflict.
Chen Fengqin didn't bother to pay any attention to her.
Liu Guifang was moved by Chen Fengqin's words. Yes, the most important thing was to quickly find the Yan family and find a way to get the things back to reduce the losses.
Because of this incident, the place was in chaos and the person helping in the kitchen asked, "Should we continue with the banquet?"
Of course she had to eat it. After all, Yan Lijun had already gotten married to Xu Huaiyu and was a formal member of the Xu family. She couldn't return the goods.
The dish is already cooked and we can’t let it go bad in the pot.
But now no one could sit down and eat properly. After all, such a thing had happened in the Xu family, and the family was in chaos, so they couldn’t even entertain the guests.
Xu Mingshan suppressed his anger and told everyone present to take their bowls to the kitchen to get food, and each get a large bowl to take home and eat.
This is exactly what everyone wants, and the whole family can eat it together when we take it home.
What we cooked in the kitchen today was just a big stew. It was winter and the stir-fried dishes would get cold in a few minutes after being served out and would be inedible. So we could only make a few pots of big stew, which is now convenient for everyone to take home and eat.
This is the first time in history that we can take the food from a banquet home.
