My son is almost thirty and still has no marriage prospects.

The former daughter-in-law, whom they disliked for not being able to have children, remarried shortly after the divorce and is now rumored to be pregnant again.

Wu's parents are extremely anxious lately.

Although Li Meihong is from a rural area and her family is not well-off.

But she is indeed quite pragmatic, praising the Wu family highly, and her personality is nothing like that of Wu Zhenfei's ex-wife, who was cold and aloof.

In the end, Wu's parents agreed to let Li Meihong into the family.

On her wedding day, Li Meihong was overjoyed.

Xu Fengjuan was also happy and busied herself with great enthusiasm.

Early in the morning, Lin An'an was awakened by the noise from the village.

She has been very sleepy since she became pregnant, but fortunately, her appetite has not been affected.

It's just that my tastes have changed. I no longer like the foods I used to love, and instead, I often crave strange and unusual things.

Lin An'an and Gu Qingsong, a married couple, were naturally not on the list of invitees to Li Meihong's wedding.

However, the Li family held a grand wedding for their daughter, so even at home, the noise could still be heard clearly.

Lin An'an sat at the dining table, crunching on dried radish. Hearing the sound coming from afar, she frowned.

"Are weddings here...so...lively?" Lin An'an couldn't help but ask.

She felt it was a bit too exaggerated.

Although her marriage to Gu Qingsong was due to special circumstances, they did not have the means to hold a grand wedding.

However, weddings in this era were generally quite simple.

It's rare to see a family like the Lis make such a big fuss.

Gu Qingsong munched on a steamed bun and casually said, "Xu Fengjuan promised to help the younger generation in her family find jobs in the county. She took more than 1,000 yuan from relatives and friends, plus the dowry she received, totaling nearly 2,000 yuan."

"Besides providing Li Meihong with a generous dowry, the rest of the money was used to pay for the wedding banquet."

Lin An'an stopped chewing the dried radish and stared wide-eyed in shock at the man's words.

Two thousand yuan! In those days, two thousand yuan was a lot of money in the countryside. Many families worked hard all year round and couldn't even earn a hundred yuan.

Xu Fengjuan is really willing to do that.

After a while, Lin An'an came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Then, if she spends all the money at once, how will she arrange jobs for people in the future?"

Gu Qingsong calmly said, "Even if she has the money in her hands, she can't arrange any work for herself."

"what?"

Lin An'an was completely dumbfounded and stammered, "Then isn't she deliberately trying to scam me out of money?"

"Yes." Gu Qingsong nodded and replied, "It's just a scam."

Upon hearing this, Lin An'an gasped.

Although this matter had nothing to do with her, the thought of Xu Fengjuan swindling such a large sum of money from her relatives and friends made her scalp tingle.

Xu Fengjuan is incredibly audacious! Does she have no reason to live a normal life? How dare she do such a thing?

Gu Qingsong calmly took a sip of porridge and continued to explain.

"Xu Fengjuan is always concerned about her image. She probably got carried away after being egged on by the Li family father and daughter. She may also be harboring some resentment for not being able to borrow money from her relatives the previous times."

Lin An'an still had some questions, "Didn't she think about how to handle this?"

"Let's stall for now," Gu Qingsong guessed. "It's probably because Li Meihong made a promise to Xu Fengjuan that she would take her to the city to live a better life."

“She never left the production brigade in her entire life, probably thinking that as long as she went to the county, the creditors would not be able to find her.”

Lin An'an was speechless.

"Putting aside the question of whether people can even find her in the county, what if Li Meihong didn't take her? Didn't she ever consider that she might be devoured alive in the village?"

After finishing the steamed bun, Gu Qingsong drank the rest of the thin porridge in one go.

He smiled at his wife and said, "No need for 'what if,' I definitely won't take her. Whether it's Li Meihong's personality or her husband's family situation, it's impossible for her to live in the county."

Lin An'an astutely grasped the key point in Gu Qingsong's words: "Her husband's family situation?"

Gu Qingsong raised an eyebrow. This little fool, although not very smart, is quite good at grasping the key points.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Gu Qingsong smiled and kept everyone in suspense.

Lin An'an's curiosity was piqued, but this scoundrel was keeping her in suspense.

He immediately stepped forward and pressed on relentlessly with his questions.

No matter how she asked, Gu Qingsong just smiled and refused to say anything more, which made Lin An'an so angry that she bit him hard on the face.

Hmph, you dog of a man, you'll go to work today with teeth marks on your face.
