Three Women in the Cage

Zhang Erfa and the two old men had no intention of inviting Yang Yu to the wedding banquet, so it was the fourth brother who personally went to invite him.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, and here's the invitation. Thank you for your support, Twenty. Third brother and fifth brother did something wrong, I hope you won't bother with them. After all, we are a family, and we should get along well!" Zhang Zi said softly and politely.

Yang Yu couldn't say whether she hated him or liked him, but she didn't like the way this young boy taught her how to do things.

She sneered and said, "If you are here to treat me to a meal, I am happy, but if you are here to lecture me, I am sorry, but I don't want to hear you."

"I think you've seen the whole thing between me and them. Ask yourself, was I the one who was fussy about it? Or were they the ones who bullied me first?"

"Even though I can't beat them, I will never forgive them in my life and will fight them to the death!"

Zhang Zi was not good at speaking. He could not judge who was right or wrong, nor could he stop their confrontation. He could only choose to remain silent like an outsider, then sighed, shook his head and left.

The wedding banquet was held at Zhang's mother's place, and the house allocated to them was located next to Zhang Sanmao. It was a wooden house that had not been completed yet. Compared with Zhang Sanmao's two-story brick house, it was slightly inferior.

On the wedding day, people from the whole village, young and old, came and filled the yard, making it very lively.

The men in the house were outside greeting guests, setting up tents, serving food and pouring water.

Currently, there are only two daughters-in-law, Liu Chunxiang and Yang Yu. Liu Chunxiang brought Zhang Sheng, who is almost one year old, and was arranged by Zhang's mother to chat with guests outside.

Yang Yu, who was not with her children, was naturally asked to go into the kitchen to help.

Yang Yu didn't want to go in at first. He thought that since he was already there, he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness and just put on an act in front of outsiders.

Zhang's mother was the best at putting on a good show. When she saw Yang Yu was willing to help in the kitchen, she immediately went up to her and said, "Yu, you are really capable. I didn't expect that after the family was separated, you managed the house and outside so well." Zhang's mother deliberately praised her.

Yang Yu thought to herself that this was a deliberate attempt to elevate her status so that she would be willing to support the family in the future and her lazy son would steal food for her every day to show his filial piety.

It was really hard for him to respond. If he made fun of his son in front of so many people helping in the kitchen, there would be a quarrel. If he didn't make fun of him, it would be like tacitly accepting that he would be the one to take care of the family in the future.

Yang Yu changed the subject and said, "Is there any dish that has not been prepared? Let me prepare it." After that, she walked to the other side.

Seeing that she obviously didn't want to pay attention to her, Zhang's mother smiled awkwardly.

The people watching nearby looked at each other, made faces, and laughed in their hearts.

Seeing them obviously huddled together chatting, Yang Yu seemed a little out of place sitting alone on the side. She knew that those people looked down on her, so she worked for a while and then made an excuse to go out for some fresh air.

When we got to the yard outside, it was already crowded with people. Some were sitting together chatting, some were eating melon seeds around the table, and some were playing poker. It was very lively.

Suddenly, I saw Zhang Sanmao sitting next to the table, holding a poker card in his hand and a few coins in front of him. He was obviously playing cards.

Next to him, Liu Chunxiang was holding his son, watching Zhang Sanmao playing cards frivolously, and leaning his head on his shoulder with a happy look on his face, giggling.

Zhang Erfa was still busy setting up the tent and smiling at the guests. His silly look was completely different from the way he treated himself at home.

There was a time when she thought that all her troubles seemed to come from this incompetent man. He was incompetent himself, and he had to drag his wife into it.

After watching the hustle and bustle for a while, the kitchen helper called out, "Dinner is ready." Yang Yu then looked away. She wanted to find a place to eat and didn't want to go in to help anymore.

Anyway, no matter what she did, it was not as good as those who did nothing, and she didn't want to pretend anymore.

As soon as Yang Yu sat down, Zhang Erfa came over and said, "Mom is too busy in the kitchen and has been looking for you everywhere. And you come here and sit down to wait for food?"

Looking at Liu Chunxiang who was also sitting at another table, Yang Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong? I took twenty yuan, and I can't even have a good meal?"

"Are you going to cause trouble on such a happy day? I didn't ask you to come, but I knew you would cause trouble!" Zhang Erfa said coldly.

Yang Yu laughed. "The groom invited me, and I also took the twenty yuan gift money. Why can't I come to the banquet? I'm not here to help as a family member. I'm just here as a guest!"

Zhang Erfa left angrily after seeing how ruthless she was.

Yang Yu sat there contentedly, chuckled, picked up the chopsticks silently, and started eating without any disturbance.

The audience were all whispering to each other while watching the show. Liu Chunxiang was watching with a chuckle. Yang Yu met her eyes and smiled as well.

After lunch, with the sound of gongs and drums, the wedding procession led the bride slowly in amid the sound of firecrackers.

The bride was indeed beautiful and charming, and Zhang Zi looked quite a good match standing next to her.

After the bride was escorted into the bridal chamber by everyone, Yang Yu looked at Zhang's father and mother, who were bent over with laughter. The men in the family were all smiling and joking. They huddled together like a family, caring about each other. Only she seemed isolated and helpless, like a fallen leaf forgotten in a corner of the world.

Once again, she saw Liu Chunxiang squeezed next to the men, looking at her with mockery. Yang Yu smiled, turned her head and walked out.

After all, I am redundant here. I can't fit into this atmosphere. Why make things difficult for myself? It would be so nice to be alone.

Yang Yu never expected that someone he had never cared about would come to him and show his affection.

That day, a beautiful woman walked in with a smile, "Second sister-in-law!"

Yang Yu looked at the woman who called him second sister-in-law and thought for a long time before realizing that this was the fourth brother's new wife Tang Li.

As expected, the person is as beautiful as her name.

"Second sister-in-law, I've always wanted to visit you, but I've only just found the chance. I hope you don't mind," she said, taking out a handful of wedding candy and handing it over.

"Thank you for the gift money you gave us for your support. We will be a family from now on. If you need anything, just come to me and my brother!" Tang Li said gently and politely.

Yang Yu thought to himself, this woman looks young and speaks in a very pleasant way. She actually comes to show her goodwill to him when others look down on him.

This woman is not simple. She looks gentle and beautiful, and her words are pleasant, but she doesn't offend anyone easily. Her character is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Since she doesn't show contempt for herself, then she will live in peace with her. Yang Yu has always believed that if others don't provoke me easily, I won't provoke others easily.
