Everyone who came to the banquet had almost finished their meal and left one after another. There was no leftover food on the table, not even a drop of soup.

Looking at the empty table and kitchen, Zhou Jingchen didn't smile at all. "Shen Xue, they're full, so what are we going to eat?"

Zhou Jingchen didn't want to sit at the same table with the peasants to eat, so he didn't eat the whole time.

Shen Xue wanted to say that she had left some food, but when she thought about how her mother had packed up all the food she had left, she forced a smile and said, "If there's nothing left, we can just cook it again. We still have two cabbages at home, so we can eat cabbage tonight."

Their family held a wedding banquet, but they didn't even get to eat a single bite of the food, and in the end they had to eat cabbage. Zhou Jingchen had never seen anything like this before.

"Your mother has come to the banquet, why do you want her to pack up the food to take back?" Zhou Jingchen really couldn't understand it at all. Before she got married, she had never seen her listen to Liu Pandi so much.

"I didn't even know she was packing. I only found out after she packed up and left. Jingchen, she's my mother. What can I do?"

If she didn't give it to her, her mother would talk her to the point of embarrassment. Her mother's eloquence was getting better and better, and she couldn't win the argument with her at all.

Shen Xue hosted a banquet and felt that she had saved her face. Even if she didn't eat at the banquet, she was happy.

"Jingchen, did you see that? Everyone is envious of me today. They envy me for finding such a capable man."

Zhou Jingchen wanted to say that he envied her but she didn't see anything. She only saw that everyone thought she was stupid.

Everyone brought gifts to the banquet today. Shen Xue happily carried a basket with a red envelope in it into the house.

Zhou Jingchen wanted to know how much money those red envelopes were worth, so he followed them into the house.

"Jingchen, look at all the red envelopes. There must be a lot of money. We can only make money from this banquet today."

There were quite a few red envelopes, but Shen Xue was dumbfounded when she opened them. They were all 1-cent, 2-cent, 1-cent, and 2-cent notes. Not a single one was worth more than 50 cents.

"Why is it so little? How can they have the nerve to pay so little when they come to the banquet?"

"Don't you know what the people in your own village are like? They are all peasants, how much money can they have?" Zhou Jingchen snorted beside her. She was still hoping to earn back this little money, but she had lost a lot.

Before Shen Xue got married, Liu Pan was in charge of giving gifts. She just wanted to have a mouth to feed, so she didn't really pay attention to how much others gave. She only knew that everyone who came to the banquet gave a gift.

She got married and someone invited her to a banquet, but she didn't even give a gift and just went with her mouth to eat for free. She didn't know how much people usually gave. Now it was her family's turn to have a wedding banquet, and there were so many red envelopes that the money added up was not enough to buy vegetables. Shen Xue was really dumbfounded.

To organize this banquet, she spent nearly fifty yuan just on buying meat, not even taking vegetables and eggs into account. After a careful calculation, she realized that she was so disappointed that she wanted to slap her thigh.

Shen Xue was such a stingy person. She wouldn't even let Zhou Jingchen smell her malted milk. Now that they had lost so much money on the banquet, her heart was broken. She kept saying, "This shouldn't be the case. Why do they still like to hold banquets when they lose so much money?"

Shen Xue didn't know that everyone held a banquet just to have a good time and did it within their means, unlike her who did it just for face.

Jiang Ziqiang said he was willing to come over, so Old Lady Shen and Li Caixia secretly asked someone to look at a date. The eighth day of next month was a good day, and it would be perfect for the two children to hold a wedding banquet.

Shen Qiu wrote a letter to Jiang Ziqiang telling him about this. A week later, he and Jiang's parents came to Shenjiaba Brigade, and the two families sat together to discuss the marriage of their two children.

Shen Qiu had never met Jiang's parents before, and she felt quite nervous at first. But when Jiang's mother got out of the car, she took Shen Qiu's hand and praised him with a smile.

"It's Xiaoqiu, she's really pretty. Auntie doesn't have a daughter and has always wanted one. Now she's become successful.

Now you know how to find a wife for yourself. In the future, your aunt will also have a daughter. If he makes you unhappy in the future, you can go to your aunt."

Mother Jiang spoke softly, and Shen Qiu liked this future mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

Father Jiang was a talkative man. Not long after he sat down, he started chatting with Old Man Shen, Uncle Shen, Second Uncle Shen, and Third Uncle Shen.

Both parties were sincere in getting married and had a very pleasant chat.

This was his own marriage, and before he was sure whether Shen Qiu was interested in him, Jiang Ziqiang didn't feel restrained at all.

Today, he felt embarrassed. He looked at Shen Qiu secretly. Jiang's mother cursed her son in her heart for being useless. They were at the stage of discussing marriage, but he was still embarrassed to look at the girl.

The Jiang family came and brought a lot of things, all bottles and jars. The Shen family didn’t even know what some of the things were, so it goes without saying how much importance they attached to them.

Li Caixia was so happy that her daughter found a good son-in-law for her. It was obviously a live-in son-in-law. Jiang Ziqiang was such an outstanding child, but the Jiang family was still willing to lower their posture, which showed that they were all satisfied with her daughter.

If she is satisfied with her daughter, there won’t be any major conflicts with her parents-in-law in the future.

When the Jiang family came, the food had to be good. Li Caixia was so happy that she killed all the geese for the New Year's meal. Zhang Cuicui and Liu Pandi, the two sisters-in-law, helped with the cooking and even brought over vegetables from their own rooms, adding two more dishes.

A car came into the village and headed straight for the Shen family. A nosy aunt had already come to inquire about the matter. It turned out that Miss Shen Qiu was getting married.
