Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Hongmei, standing next to her, also frowned, not even glancing at the table in front of her.

The couple looked exactly alike.

Meanwhile, Cui Xiaojiu, who was sitting next to him, was enjoying her meal immensely.

Cui Xiaojiu kept eating chicken legs and pig's trotters until he couldn't chew anything left in his mouth.

They acted as if they would lose an ounce of flesh if they ate one less bite!

The appearance of Old Cui's son made many people look at him askance.

"So this is Jianye's brother-in-law? What's wrong with him? He hasn't lifted his head since the dishes were served. Has he not eaten for days?"

"Who knows? Maybe their family isn't very well-off, otherwise why would they make such a fool of themselves?"

"That's because he's spoiled. No family eats fish and meat all the time, but look at him, who else is like this?"

As soon as these words came out.

Many people secretly compared Cui Xiaojiu with those around her.

Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison.

Right now, all Cui Xiaojiu sees is meat; he seems to have forgotten who his parents are.

Not only that, Cui Xiaojiu also smacked her lips while eating, making a sound that was truly speechless.

The people talking just now weren't quiet; everyone around could tell that the sound of the foot-blowing could be heard clearly.

However, even after saying that, Cui Xiaojiu still didn't put down her chopsticks, and her hand movements didn't slow down at all.

Seeing this, everyone made up their minds.

In order not to let Cui Xiaojiu ruin the whole meal, I simply stopped saying anything and started eating quietly.

……

Inside the new house.

Liu Jianye helped Cui Hongmei onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and then poured her a glass of water.

“Brother Jianye, I’m fine, go out and greet me, the neighbors, and so many relatives are out there. Don’t keep watching over me.”

Cui Hongmei looked shy and spoke very softly.

But considering that today was their big day, Cui Hongmei still wanted to consider the bigger picture.

Now that she and Liu Jianye are husband and wife, they will have plenty of time to spend together in the future. It would be unreasonable for Liu Jianye to stay inside the house and not go out.

If you don't do it right, people will laugh at you.

Because of her leg problems, Cui Hongmei was unable to bow and thank everyone with Liu Jianye, so she urged Liu Jianye to leave quickly.

Liu Jianye reached out and tucked a strand of Cui Hongmei's hair behind her ear.

"Then I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing Cui Hongmei say this, Liu Jianye turned and left.

Outside, friends and family had almost finished eating.

Many people looked towards the north room.

Liu Jia glanced at the time, thinking to himself that his second brother should be coming out soon.

As the banquet nears its end, the bride and groom will come out to toast everyone.

Even if my sister-in-law can't come out now, my second brother can't possibly stay out of it.

The thought had barely crossed Liu Jia's mind when Liu Jianye actually came out of the north room.

As soon as he stepped outside, Liu Jianye looked towards Liu Xinguo and Liu Jia.

The two brothers walked toward Liu Jianye at the same time.

"What's wrong with Second Brother?"

Liu Jia spoke first.

Liu Xinguo also stared straight at Liu Jianye.

Liu Jianye looked around and then discussed it with Liu Xinguo.

"Brother, Hongmei's leg makes it difficult for her to move between tables. How about the three of us go with the elders for a walk?"

Liu Xinguo was both amused and exasperated.

"You're being so serious because of this? Sanzi and I have already thought it through. Just like you said, the three of us brothers will go and toast our relatives, friends, and neighbors!"

Liu Xinguo said this, and Liu Jia next to him nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, several managers led the three brothers to move around to different tables.

After visiting the previous table, Liu Jia and Liu Jianye then went to Cui Dashan's table.

"Father and Mother, Hongmei's leg is not very convenient, so the three of us brothers have come to toast you."

As Liu Jianye spoke, he picked up his wine glass. Cui Dashan snorted and said something directly.

"No way, the wine in your Liu family is expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it."

One sentence left Liu Jianye stunned on the spot.

Liu Jia, standing next to him, also frowned.

Old Cui is really something!

It seems like nothing can go wrong today; he seems to be feeling unwell!

"Uncle Cui, what are you saying? Today is my second brother and sister-in-law's wedding day. Whether the wine is expensive or not is irrelevant. This is the proper way to present the gift!"

Liu Jia had a smile on his face, but his voice was very serious.

A sentence flashed through many people's minds.

If you refuse a toast offered politely, you'll have to drink the penalty shot.

Although Liu Jia didn't say it aloud, everyone understood what he meant.

The most embarrassed person was Liu Jianye.

When Liu Jianye spoke just now, he had already raised his hand into the air.

Now, if Cui Dashan doesn't pick up the wine cup in front of him, Liu Jianye can't drink the wine, and naturally, he can't put his hand down either.

Nearby, someone couldn't stand it anymore.

"We're almost done eating, so let's not be so formal. Jianye is practically your son now, so why should you, as an elder, argue with a junior?"

"That's right. They didn't do anything wrong. They came over to offer you a toast, and you got upset?"

"You can't be so petty. You're counting on your daughter and son-in-law in the future!"

Everyone chimed in, one after another.

Cui Dashan was even more embarrassed.

Even so, Cui Dashan still didn't pick up the winery in front of him.

Everyone stopped eating and started looking at Cui Dashan and his wife.

From the very beginning of the wedding, the couple hadn't shown any kindness.

However, considering that many families have weddings where the bride's parents force a smile, everyone felt they could understand.

After all, hiring a daughter is not the same as marrying a wife.

Marrying off one's daughter means sending one's own daughter away, leaving one less person in the family.

Getting married is different; it means welcoming the bride into the family, adding another person to the household.

The feeling is definitely different.

Seeing that Cui Dashan couldn't laugh, everyone pretended not to have seen anything.

But now, Cui Dashan is going against Liu Jianye, which is puzzling to some.

Seeing that Cui Dashan still showed no intention of making a move.

Liu Jia's uncle spoke with a smile.

"The marriage is settled. As long as the young couple is happy, what more could we, as elders, ask for? Let's finish our drinks quickly; they want to go to another table."

Cui Dashan understood that a prolonged stalemate couldn't continue.

But there's a lump in my throat, and if I don't let it out, I'll suffocate!

Not long ago, Cui Dashan thought their wedding would turn into a joke.

Unexpectedly, they completed the process smoothly.

How could he not be angry?

She was not only angry with her own daughter, but also with Liu Jianye!

Ultimately, the saying "a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl" is absolutely true!

After raising them for so many years, they're now on the same side as us!

Cui Dashan grew angrier the more he thought about it. Looking at the large amount of fish and meat in front of him, he wished he could overturn the table!

But they still want me to drink? What a load of rubbish!

There was no way to count on Cui Hongmei, so he could only place all his hopes on Cui Xiaojiu.

He noticed that everyone was looking in his direction.

Cui Dashan coughed heavily, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"It's heartbreaking to see my daughter, whom I've raised since she was a child, become someone else's daughter-in-law. I won't drink this wine."

As soon as Cui Dashan finished speaking, Hongmei suddenly raised her hand and wiped away her tears.

Liu Jia sneered inwardly.

The couple really know how to work together.

One person was singing grand tunes, while the other was performing.

Are there really tears?

I doubt he could cry now!

Who are you putting on this show for?

"You really won't drink this wine?"

Seeing Cui Dashan's awkwardness, Liu Jianye's voice also became much lower.

Liu Jia nudged Liu Jianye's arm, and Liu Jianye stopped talking.

Cui Dashan turned his head and his gaze fell on his son.

He had already built up the atmosphere to this point, and now he was just waiting for Cui Xiaojiu to make a scene.

No matter what, he was an elder, and if he went too far, he would probably be laughed at. But Cui Xiaojiu was different.

That's Liu Jianye's brother-in-law!

The younger brother and brother-in-law are having a fight, and no matter how bad it gets, it's not too much!

Moreover, in the Xili Village area, there has long been a saying that the younger brother-in-law makes trouble for the older brother-in-law.

"Xiao Jiu, your brother-in-law has brought over the wine. What do you think, should we drink it or not?"

To be fair.

Cui Dashan hoped his son would make a name for himself.

But little did Cui Xiaojiu know that he had no idea what Cui Dashan meant by those words.

"Dad, this meat is so delicious! I've loved it since I was a child. The big chunks of fat are so fragrant!"

Cui Xiaojiu's mouth was greasy, and he started smacking his lips as soon as he finished speaking.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Cui Dashan coughed, and only then did Cui Xiaojiu raise her head.

Suddenly noticing that Liu Jianye was holding a wine cup, Cui Xiaojiu instinctively said, "Dad, this is a toast to you, drink it quickly!"

Cui Dashan's eyes widened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

This good-for-nothing is deliberately trying to drive people crazy!

Your father is counting on you to embarrass Liu Jianye, and listen to what you're saying.

Let me drink it quickly. Are you on the same side as Liu Jianye?

That bastard!

This is absolutely infuriating!

Just a moment ago, Cui Dashan was still counting on Cui Xiaojiu.

Unexpectedly, he was proven wrong on the spot.

"Drink it. If you don't drink this wine, you won't be able to leave."

When Liu Jia suddenly spoke, Cui Dashan's heart skipped a beat.

Old Liu's youngest son has spoken again!

Although he didn't turn to look at Liu Jia, Cui Dashan had already realized the threatening meaning in Liu Jia's words.

Cui Dashan's head was buzzing, and his lips began to tremble.

This is blatant bullying!

I still feel that on Lao Liu's turf, I, Old Cui, am inferior to everyone else.

"Fine!" Old Cui gritted his teeth. "I'll drink this wine!"

"I'll prepare a proper feast for you all in three days when you return to your parents' home!"

Cui Dashan gritted his teeth, and everyone could understand the meaning behind his words.

He'll have to swallow this bitter pill for now!

Under everyone's gaze, Cui Dashan picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.

Beside her, Hongmei also picked up her wine cup and took a sip.

At the table, the other members of the Liu family quietly breathed a sigh of relief; they had all been really worried for them.

Cui Dashan's visit was ill-intentioned, and his words just now were quite sharp.

Everyone is wondering what Liu Jianye will do when he returns to his parents' home in three days.

That would be on Old Cui's territory, so they definitely wouldn't let it go!

Liu Jia stared coldly at Old Cui, without saying a word.

Liu Jia had long been dissatisfied with Cui Dashan.

We can't argue with him now, with so many people watching, but we'll definitely have to deflate his arrogance later.

Otherwise, my second brother and sister-in-law will suffer in the future.

Liu Jianye had known for a long time that Old Cui and his wife were biased.

However, things are different now.

He and Cui Hongmei went through the traditional wedding ceremony, and held a wedding in front of everyone. They even got their marriage certificate.

Now we're practically family.

On such a joyous day, they made it so awkward to go downstairs. Did I do it on purpose?

The old couple's actions clearly showed that they didn't care about Cui Hongmei.

If they had even the slightest thought about their daughter, they wouldn't have disregarded Cui Hongmei's feelings.

They didn't even consider how Cui Hongmei would face the Liu family after doing this.

Liu Jianye made up his mind not to tell Cui Hongmei about what happened today. There was no need to make his wife unhappy on such a joyous occasion.

Seeing that Liu Jianye's expression was off, Liu Jia took two steps forward.

This brought us even closer to Cui Dashan.

Liu Jia still had a smile on his face and spoke softly.

But it was enough for Old Cui to hear clearly.

“We’re all relatives now. The three-day homecoming is fine, whatever you say goes, our Liu family will handle it!”

"what!"

"Liu Jia, you said those words!"

"Today, I'll let you..."
