Director Shen was so angry that stars flashed before his eyes and his hair turned black. He still didn't like it?
Was it his turn to dislike?
"Su Ning, so that's how you think. I was blind not to see it. You've been pretending so well all this time, with such a filthy mind.
If you're going to say that, I wouldn't dare wrong you, Su, a junior college graduate. You all go, this marriage is off."
Su Ning was also very angry. It was the last moment, and the duck that was almost in his grasp flew away. How could he be reconciled?
"Director Shen, you can't just call it off. I've put a lot of effort into preparing for this wedding. You're bullying me, you're using your power to bully others."
Director Shen was so amused that she almost laughed: "What have you prepared? You didn't even have a betrothal gift, what about the marital home? I heard it's still a dormitory at the factory, where two people share a room. How do you plan to live?"
Before, Director Shen only thought about marrying off her daughter. As long as she wasn't implicated by Xu Donglai, she didn't care much. Now, picking old quarrels, she had a lot of dissatisfaction waiting for Su Ning.
Su Ning was also shameless. "There's a curtain in between, we'll just sleep like that. The conditions are harsh, what can we do? If you love your daughter, go to the leaders early and apply for a marital home for us."
Director Shen's eyes were truly opened. She had never seen such a shameless person.
Your wedding night, and there's a third man in the room. They're all from the same factory. How could he do such a thing!
She was so angry she almost had a heart attack. She waved her hand and said, "Don't say anything more, you leave. The marriage is off."
Su Ning's second aunt slapped her thighs and threw a tantrum: "You want to call it off just like that? Where does our Ningzi's face go? So many relatives came from our hometown, who will bear the loss?"
Su Ning also said, "Exactly. I booked the restaurant, prepared the braised noodles and cold dishes. It costs three yuan per table, more than ten tables, over fifty yuan. My month's salary isn't enough, and you're still not satisfied? Director Shen, you can't be so selfish."
Director Shen's eyes were about to pop out. She couldn't imagine how a meal for three yuan a table could be made.
When she married off her daughter, she prepared meals for eighteen yuan a table. Their meal probably wouldn't even have a trace of meat.
Su Ning's second aunt said, "Isn't that right? Braised meat noodles, noodles we brought from home, and four cold dishes. So extravagant."
Director Shen almost vomited blood from anger. She had never looked down on farmers, but the Shen family finally opened her eyes. They were worse than the Xu family.
It was a pity that the elders of the Xu family had passed away, and Xu Donglai had impulsively caused trouble and been arrested. Otherwise, they would have been a hundred times better than the Su family.
She finally understood. This was blackmail.
She took out a hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to him: "Here's a hundred yuan. This is for the loss of your meal and your emotional distress. I've given it all to you. Are you satisfied?
Go, go, I don't blame you, I should thank you. I've lived this long, and this is truly the first time I've met such a bizarre family as yours.
Thank goodness I didn't become in-laws with you. Go, hurry up and go."
Su Ning took the money and said, "My emotional distress isn't enough for this little money. I'm a junior college student..."
Director Shen looked down and rummaged. "Lao Yu, where's our broom? Are you dead? Kick them out. I'm paying for peace. Do you think I'm a fool?
A junior college student thinks he can get away with anything? So many college students at the factory aren't like you..."
Yu Jianshe came out with a large broom. Even his gentle temper was filled with anger. "Wife, you should have beaten them long ago. Fortunately, our daughter didn't marry him. Are you leaving or not? Do you think our Yu family is a pushover?"
Yu Jianshe was manly for once, and Director Shen was very satisfied.
Su Ning and his entourage left dejectedly.
However, this matter wasn't over. Director Su, with a stern face, went to settle accounts with Yao Jinling. She wouldn't admit her own mistakes, but her children were wrong and had to be taught a lesson.
But Yao Jinling had already slipped away after watching the commotion.
...
Meanwhile, Xie Sui and his group had picked up the bride and returned to the steel factory's family compound. Yu Lili originally thought it would be desolate, especially since Xu Donglai had just been released.
To their surprise, the entire alley was covered with a red carpet, red lanterns were hung at the entrance, and red joy characters were pasted all over the courtyard. It was far from desolate.
"The bride has entered."
Lin Wanwan, as the wedding escort, helped Yu Lili in with the two children. Xie Sui prepared red confetti and sprinkled it from above. It was fiery red and extremely lively.
There were no confetti cannons like in their previous lives, so they made do with this. The sense of ceremony was still there.
The two of them acted as witnesses, bowed to heaven and earth, and were sent into the room. The ceremony was complete.
"Don't leave in a hurry. We've booked seats at the state-run restaurant. Please come and join us!"
"That would be great. Thank you, boss."
These people were hired by Xie Sui. Fifteen young men, five yuan each, found at the labor market. They were all chosen for their decent looks and clean attire, presentable enough.
Xu Donglai had a brief conversation with Yu Lili and came out again. They went to the state-run restaurant together.
The banquet had four tables, all at the highest standard of eighty-eight yuan, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Eight cold dishes and eight hot dishes. Everyone ate their fill and looked satisfied.
The newlyweds toasted, and no step was missed. Yu Lili's face was always beaming with smiles.
While they were toasting, Xie Sui took out a ring and put it on Lin Wanwan's finger: "Wife, thank you for marrying me. What the bride has, we must also have."
Lin Wanwan was surprised: "This must be very expensive. Why did you spend this money? I'm not used to wearing it. So many years have passed, why compare yourself to the bride?"
"That won't do. My wife must not be inferior to the bride. We'll wear gold necklaces and earrings later. In the future, we'll wear diamonds, jade, and agate, changing them as we please."
Lin Wanwan said it was a waste, but her heart was filled with joy. No girl dislikes beautiful jewelry.
"All our money is saved for business, you're spending it recklessly."
"Don't worry, your husband can earn it back."
As the two of them whispered sweet nothings, Xu Donglai returned from toasting and raised his glass to Xie Sui: "Brother Xie, thank you. No words can express my gratitude. It's all in this wine. I'll have three cups first."
Yu Lili also raised her glass. She was also very grateful to Xie Sui. Xie Sui had given her an unforgettable wedding, allowing her to happily marry the man she loved.
"Good, I'm also happy that you've achieved your happy ending. However, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and we still need to work hard. You need to handle your mother-in-law yourself.
But it's not a big deal. When the child is born, holding a chubby baby boy, and showing him to Grandma, Grandma will be happy, and all her anger will be gone.
The premise is that you treat the girl well. If the girl is happy, your mother-in-law won't treat you badly either."
