Wang Cuilan angrily dusted off his clothes, "You unlucky boy, is your wife more important or your pride? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Mother, this isn't about saving face; you can't act like this."

"How should one behave? Is it right to lend money out without saying a word?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Not only did you try to keep it from Yuyao and let her lie to her parents, you also kept it from us. I ask you, if it hadn't come to light, would you have told us that something suddenly happened in the army?"

This……

That's really what he thought.

Wang Cuilan was furious and slapped the dust off Lu Jiangting's clothes a few more times.

"Oh dear, what bad luck I've had to run into such a disobedient and unlucky child like you. I don't care if you get your money back, the wedding banquet has to be held in three days, and it can't be postponed no matter what."

Lu Jiangting said in a low voice, "I'd like to do it too, but I don't have the money right now."

"No money?" Wang Cuilan looked at the two guests in the house. "If you don't have money, you have to find a way yourself. Go borrow, steal, or rob, you have to hold the banquet."

The two comrades thought: This is going too far. How can we go and steal it?

The old lady gave three choices: borrow, steal, or rob. If you can't steal or rob, then you should borrow.

Hey, that old lady, no wonder she keeps glancing at them with those whitish eyes.

So they're waiting for them to borrow money for an emergency.

"Uncle, Aunt, I only have a little over a hundred yuan left, including travel expenses," Yi Yunshuo said with difficulty. "My family is quite poor too."

Fu Huaiyi: "I only have twenty yuan, the rest is for travel expenses."

This young man doesn't look poor at all; he's even wearing leather shoes. How come he's not as well off as the young man wearing rubber shoes?

Seeing them sizing him up, Fu Huaiyi explained, "My family used to have some money, but last month my brother-in-law's business failed, and he lost a lot of money. They didn't have enough money, so they borrowed it from my parents."

My parents lent my brother-in-law all of their savings accumulated over the years, plus the money I had entrusted to them over the past few years.

"Huh? You can lend your entire fortune to a stranger?"

Fu Huaiyi: "Uncle, that's my brother-in-law, not an outsider."

Lu Cong: "..."

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, he tried to make amends by bringing up his son, saying, "Jiang Ting, they lent the money to their brother-in-law. Look at you, you've lent your entire fortune to outsiders."

“Dad, Fang Qing is Jianjun’s wife. Jianjun saved my life. She can’t be treated like an outsider.”

"Alright, alright, then tell me, what do we do now?"

"Since we've already got the marriage certificate, it's okay to postpone the wedding banquet until next year."

Wang Cuilan: "You unlucky child, what kind of marriage is it if you don't have a banquet? That certificate is just a piece of paper, it's useless."

"This is a new society now, what you say doesn't matter. Whether someone is a couple or not can be determined by a piece of paper."

Hearing him say that, Yi Yunshuo was extremely embarrassed.

Fu Huaiyi's face darkened immediately, and his cold snort drew everyone's attention.

Yi Yunshuo noticed that Fu Huaiyi was unhappy, so he spoke up to ease the tension.

"Jiang Ting, isn't this a bit inappropriate? If you really do this, wouldn't you become the liar that girl is talking about?"

"A-Shuo, I know I didn't do this right, and I feel really bad for Yu-Yao. But Yu-Yao and I didn't get together through a matchmaker; we met on our own. We grew up together and have been friends for several years."

I understand her; she was just angry for a moment, she'll be fine once she calms down. I've wronged her this time, I'll make it up to her later, it's okay.”

Hearing him say that, Lu Jiangting's parents breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, that girl has been following her son around since she was little. How could their years of affection be broken?

It must be because her son did something so awful that Yuyao got angry.

Once you calm down, that's all.

Thinking of this, Wang Cuilan stopped scolding her son and said directly, "Then you'd better make it up to them properly, or I'll beat you."

"Mother, don't worry, I definitely will."

"The banquet will be held next year."

Lu Jiangting nodded, "Definitely, we'll make it a grand affair."

"Yes, it should be done in a grander way. You did something wrong. Show some sincerity and buy two pounds of fruit candy to apologize to Yuyao's family tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The family of three made that decision.

Yi Yunshuo's lips twitched as he watched.

Fu Huaiyi couldn't stand it any longer and stood up, saying, "It's getting late, I'll be leaving now."

What?

Lu Jiangting: "Ayi, where are you going so late? We've prepared a room for you, why don't you stay at our place?"

"No, I've already booked a room at the town's guesthouse and paid for it. I have to go."

Wang Cuilan said, "Oh, what a waste! You should return it."

"It's alright, the guesthouses in town are very cheap. Uncle, Aunt..."

When it came to Lu Jiangting, he didn't even want to talk anymore. "I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he left.

Yi Yunshuo shouted, "Hey, I'll go with you!"

Fu Huaiyi: "No, the room I booked only has a single bed that's only one meter wide. There won't be enough room for you."

He left without taking Yi Yunshuo with him.

Yi Yunshuo was left alone, awkwardly facing this family.

Everyone wasn't stupid; they guessed that the comrade who left must have had something to say about what the family was doing and couldn't stand it anymore, which was why he left.

Lu Jiangting's face darkened for a moment. After sitting for a while, he said to Yi Yunshuo, "Ashuo, let me take you to your room to sleep."

"it is good."

It's good to go to bed early; if I go to bed early, I won't have to face their family.

“These are the beds my two older sisters lived in before they got married.” Looking at the two small beds that had been prepared, she added, “Originally, the other bed was prepared for A-Yi, but I brought a new quilt to entertain him.”

His words carried a hint of blame.

Yi Yunshuo was extremely embarrassed and said, "He may not be used to staying at other people's houses. Let's leave him be; he can't let himself end up on the streets."

Lu Jiangting nodded. "Okay, I won't say anymore. Ah Shuo, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"What's this all about? I just came here for fun and to attend your wedding. Even if you weren't getting married, A-Yi and I would still have come. But... Jiang Ting, no offense, but what you did was really unfair."

Lu Jiangting nodded, "I know. Yuyao and I have a very deep relationship. We have a long life ahead of us, and I will make it up to him in the future."

“It’s not about compensation later. If you do this, she’ll feel that she’s not as important as Comrade Fang Qing in your heart.”

"But Jianjun..."

"Stop, stop. Don't bring Jianjun up. Let me ask you, what if she lent out this money and said she wouldn't marry you for the time being? What would you say then?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"And Fang Qing is really something, so immature. Her actions definitely show she doesn't want you to get married. Have you thought about why she doesn't want you to get married?"
