Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 677: It’s inappropriate to come to a banquet empty-handed, right?

Yao Qingnian has been back for several days, but has not gone home to see Lin Qiaofeng and the others, so she discussed with Lu Huaijin to go back to her parents' home tomorrow.

Liu Shuyue saw her packing her things and asked, "Qingnian, are you going back to your parents' home tomorrow?"

"Yeah, Mom, what's wrong?"

"It's like this, my nephew from my mother's side is getting married tomorrow, and my brother, Huai Jin's uncle, sent me an invitation.

But since Huai Jin's grandparents passed away, the elderly in the family are gone, and I, an aunt who married out, rarely go back, especially after your father's leg was injured. I asked my brother for help a few times, and he didn't care, and helped me secretly, but when my sister-in-law found out, she was unhappy and sarcastically said that I came back to ask for money. If I hadn't been desperate at that time, I wouldn't have asked them for help. So, I never went back. I haven't interacted with them for so many years, and they never asked me a single question. "

"What do you mean, mother?" They haven't been in touch for many years, so why do you want your sister to attend your son's wedding? Is it to collect gift money?

"There are a lot of things going on in the tofu shop, and I don't want to go, but they sent me an invitation. After all, I'm an aunt, and if I don't go, I'm afraid of attracting gossip from others. Besides, my brother did help me a little, and we are sisters after all. So I want to ask you and Huaijin if you want to go. Liujia Village is not far from Yaojia Village. You can go for a banquet and then go back to your parents' home. How about it?" Liu Shuyue said with a smile.

"Are you going to have a feast? Mom, no problem! I'll go!"

"Okay, if you have no objection, I'll go tell Huai Jin, and you can just wrap a red envelope and take some gifts with you. If they ask, just say I can't come because of something."

"Okay, no problem." Yao Qingnian nodded. She loved having banquets the most.

The next day, Yao Qingnian and Lu Huaijin drove a horse-drawn carriage to Liujia Village. In order to keep a low profile and not attract attention, when they arrived at Liujia Village, they parked the carriage first and then walked to Lu Huaijin's uncle's house.

When they arrived at the door of Lu Huaijin's uncle's house, there was a simple red cloth strip and the word "囍" hung on the door. Lu Huaijin took Yao Qingnian in.

"Who are you..." The receptionist at the door looked at the couple in confusion. Lu Huaijin hadn't been here for many years, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize them at first.

"Uncle, long time no see, I'm Huaijin." Lu Huaijin said.

"Are you Huai Jin?! I haven't seen you for so many years. You've grown into a man. Come in!" The man reacted and warmly invited him in.

This man is Lu Huaijin’s uncle Liu Qinghe, who looks somewhat similar to Liu Shuyue.

"Who is it? The boss." A woman came out with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoqin, this is my nephew Huaijin! Huaijin, this is your aunt.

"Aunt." Lu Huaijin called politely.

"Well... they look good, but unfortunately, no matter how good-looking they are, they are still poor relatives. I really don't know why you called them here. They eat and drink for free and waste food." Song Xiaoqin did not notice Yao Qingnian on the side. When she saw Lu Huaijin coming in empty-handed, her eyes were full of contempt. She had heard before that Lu Huaijin had gone to the battlefield since he got married. Her wife was a restless person. She beat her parents-in-law and her son, and even caused her father-in-law to break his leg. The house was in a mess, and the old confused head of the family wanted to use the money to subsidize his sister. Fortunately, she was smart enough to stop him, otherwise, their Lu family would have to rely on her.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Today is a happy day, but you are still talking nonsense! This is my nephew, I am happy when he comes. If you say another word, get out." Liu Qinghe shouted angrily.

"Liu Qinghe, you are so capable that you actually told me to get lost! Was there anything wrong with what I said? I told you not to invite your sister, but you insisted. It would be fine if she didn't come, but what do you mean by letting your son come empty-handed! Don't you just want to eat and drink for free? You are such a grown-up, and you still have the nerve to do that."

"You!" Liu Qinghe was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"What do you mean by 'me'? Humph! Since today is our Liu Yang's wedding day, I don't want to bother with you. Otherwise, I would have to have a good talk with you." Song Xiaoqin said with her hands on her hips.

"It's totally unreasonable! Huaijin, ignore your aunt, she is just like this. Come on, sit inside!" In front of so many guests, Liu Qinghe couldn't get angry and could only bear it and ignore it.

As a junior, Lu Huaijin couldn't interfere in the affairs between the couple and could only stand aside as if nothing had happened. After all, his uncle had helped the family and was the only younger brother of his mother's family, so he didn't want to make things too awkward.

Yao Qingnian saw his embarrassment and said, "Who said we came here empty-handed?"

"Who are you? You have no right to interfere in our family affairs." Song Xiaoqin was feeling angry after the quarrel with Liu Qinghe. When she saw Yao Qingnian, she said with dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, this is my wife, Yao Qingnian." Lu Huaijin introduced.

"That's the one..." He almost blurted out the word "evil woman", but realized it was inappropriate and stopped talking.

"Yes, it's me. Hello, uncle. It's our first meeting. My mother doesn't have time, so she asked us to bring gifts on her behalf. We're here today to congratulate cousin Liu Yang on his marriage." Yao Qingnian didn't care and saluted with a smile. She deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the guests in the courtyard, and they all looked in their direction.

"With your family's financial situation, what good things can you bring? It's ok for you to come alone, but you also brought your family with you. My eldest sister-in-law is really amazing. Why didn't I see that before? She is so capable. She usually pretends to be sensible. Okay, now that you are here, today is a good day for my son to get married, you can leave after you finish eating!"

After hearing what Song Xiaoqin said, the guests began to point fingers at Lu Huaijin and the other person.

"Every family has a poor relative. You can come empty-handed, but it's inappropriate to bring your family with you, right?"

"Yeah, they look like decent people, how could they do such a thing?"

"It's so unlucky to have such relatives!"

This was exactly the effect Song Xiaoqin wanted. The guests all said so, but she didn't believe that the two of them had the nerve to come in.

Yao Qingnian calmly displayed the things in his hand in front of everyone and said, "Uncle and aunt, this is the gift my mother asked us to bring. Alas, our family is poor and we don't have anything good. It's just a few pieces of worthless cloth that only cost a few taels of silver! And these two pearl hairpins, I originally wanted to give one to the bride and one to my aunt, but now it seems that my aunt may not like them. Forget it, I will reluctantly take them back! Since you despise us for being poor, Huai Jin and I will leave and won't bother you anymore."
