Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 530: Gratitude and Resentment

The Huang family knew that the Xiong family favored boys over girls, but to be honest, they found it hard to believe that the Xiong parents wanted their daughter to die.

But when Xiong Yu on the side showed a painful expression, closed his eyes and said nothing.

They were immediately shocked.

Is this true?

Seeing that the commotion had already attracted some onlookers, Huang didn't bother to think too much. She pulled Sister Xiong behind her and tried to smooth things over. "Everyone, calm down and talk it over. Third daughter-in-law, take your sister and brother-in-law into the house and give them some water."

She was Xiong Yu's mother-in-law, and this was the Huang family, so they had to give her face. So Li Chen and the others didn't say anything more and pushed the cart into the yard.

Some people were surprised to see three bicycles.

Because they could see that the car Liu Yunqin was pushing was definitely bought just a few days ago.

It is difficult to borrow a car like this. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Liu family's own car.

Add to that the many oil-paper bags in the basket, and this is enough to prove that the Liu family is very well off.

This made them a little confused and they didn't know how Xiong Xue married into the Liu family.

Sitting on a stool, waiting for Xiong Yu to bring the sweet soup, Huang came in with her daughters-in-law. She smiled and said to Li Chen and the others, "I asked the second daughter-in-law to take the two sisters to her room. Don't worry about them calling for help. Just sit down."

She did this not because she favored Liu Yunxiao and others, but because she didn't want to see the two sides fighting in her own home.

There is no way. The Xiong family is a relative of the Huang family. From Xiong Xue's perspective, the Liu family is also a relative.

If a fight really breaks out, no one can help.

As we all know, if you don't want to offend both sides, you will often offend both sides at the same time.

Between two evils, Huang had no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils and offend the Xiong family, who knew him well and were easier to bully.

"Thank you, Sister Huang." Liu Gang smiled and handed over four oil-paper bags. "It's my first visit, so I brought you some small gifts. Please accept them."

This was a courtesy, so Huang accepted it without much hesitation.

Then she asked with a smile on her face, "Are you here to accompany Xiaoxue to see her sister?"

"This is just one of my purposes. Another purpose is to invite Xiong Yu to my house to attend Xiaoxue's wedding."

"Huh?" The Huang family exclaimed at the same time, including Xiong Yu. Mrs. Huang looked surprised. "Xiaoxue already has a child, why is she still holding a wedding?"

"The two children's weddings were held in the countryside before, and none of my relatives and friends knew about it. Now that the two children are back, it's natural to hold another one so that they can meet Xiaoxue."

After hearing the explanation, the Huang family was shocked by the Liu family's wealth.

You should know that holding a wedding banquet basically means losing money and it is difficult to recover the cost.

This is the first time I've heard of a family like the Liu family holding a wedding ceremony just to let their relatives and friends meet their new daughter-in-law.

Huang always thought that her family was in good condition, but she would never agree to do this.

After a moment of silence, Huang nodded and said, "I have no objection to this matter, as long as Xiaoyu agrees."

Xiong Yu looked embarrassed. "I have to discuss this with my husband. If he doesn't send me off, I can't go to Tang County alone."

"Tang County?" Huang asked in surprise.

Just now, Xiong Xue only introduced the relationship between her and Liu Yunxiao and others, but did not say where they came from.

"Yes, we are from Tang County, Xiaoyu, your whole family can come to attend the wedding." After responding, Liu Gang winked at Liu Yunxiao.

Liu Yunxiao, who was always paying attention to him, received the instruction and immediately stood up and took out five big black tens from his pocket. He handed them to Xiong Yu along with the remaining gifts and said sincerely,

"Sister, when Xiong Xue went to the countryside, you gave her a cotton-padded jacket. We've both always remembered this. As the old saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. These fifty yuan and the gift are our repayment. I hope you don't think it's too little."

The distance from Tang County to Zhou County is neither far nor near.

Liu Yunxiao knew that Xiong Yu might be willing to go, but her husband might not.

So he made plans early on and wanted to bribe Xiong Yu's husband with money.

Xiong Yu's sisters-in-law were so envious that their eyes turned red.

Even a new cotton-padded jacket wouldn't cost more than ten yuan, but Liu Yunxiao gave it fifty yuan. Don't you think people would envy him?

Xiong Yu was startled at first, then waved his hands repeatedly and refused, "I know how much use that tattered cotton-padded jacket can bring. I can take the gift, but forget about the money."

"The gift may be small, but the sentiment is great."

Liu Yunxiao heard from Xiong Xue that Xiong Yu was almost sold to the Huang family by Xiong's father, so her situation in her husband's family was not good.

Taking out a worn-out cotton coat is already the limit.

Maybe she will even be scolded by her in-laws.

Liu Yunxiao only discussed the money matter with Liu Gang, so when he took the money, Xiong Xue was stunned and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

She knew that Liu Yunxiao did this entirely for himself.

Although she was touched, she did not follow Xiong Yu's words to persuade Liu Yunxiao to take the money back.

Because she knew that would be tantamount to losing face for Liu Yunxiao and would make him unhappy.

After thinking for a moment, she agreed, "Sister, this is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it. Besides, we both have jobs, so this little money is nothing."

After the policy of returning to the city came out, she wrote a letter to Xiong Yu, saying that her in-laws had arranged a job for her.

Therefore, Xiong Yu was not surprised at all by this matter.

Just as she was thinking, a woman suddenly ran in from outside, shouting, "Oh no, Tian Rong ran away."
