After Wang Yingxue and the others came out of the room, Aunt Wang, with her clumsy acting skills, said stiffly, "We don't need to hold a banquet."
“Give us the bride price, and we’ll go to the brigade right away to get a certificate. Then you won’t have to come back to see us anymore.”
Chen Zhaodi was a little confused when she saw her aunt Wang, whose attitude had completely changed after entering the room.
They were fine just a moment ago, so why are you suddenly saying they don't need to come back to see them anymore?
Aunt Wang and Wang Yingxue didn't intend to give them time to react; they simply pulled them along and headed towards the brigade office.
Just like that, a group of people were inexplicably led away by them.
On the way, Chen Zhaodi and her group saw many villagers greeting the Wang family, and it seemed that they had a good relationship with them.
Chen Zhaodi deliberately slowed her pace a few steps, walked up to Aunt Wang, and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Wang, is your family from this area too?"
"I'd like to ask, what's the relationship like between your parents and Wang Yingxue's uncle and aunt? I feel like the people in the village have a pretty good relationship with them."
Aunt Wang thought about it and realized it was true; her mother hadn't asked her to help introduce her to a potential partner all these years.
She found it strange that he suddenly asked her to recommend a good one.
Logically speaking, given how badly Uncle Wang and his family treated Wang Yingxue, her parents shouldn't like them.
Could it be that she was mistaken? Did Uncle Wang and the others not mistreat Wang Yingxue?
But that doesn't make sense either. Now, Aunt Wang is planning to turn her back on us after receiving the betrothal gifts.
She witnessed and heard all of this herself; it can't be fake, right?
However, Aunt Wang answered Chen Zhaodi's question truthfully: "We have a pretty good relationship. My parents asked me to help introduce them this time."
Chen Zhaodi nodded, feeling even more puzzled. Wang Yingxue got along well with most of the villagers, and naturally so too did she.
So, what is the reason why Aunt Wang and her family no longer need to come back to see Wang Yingxue after her marriage?
When I went to the brigade to get the certificate, it went very smoothly, and they quickly processed the relevant certificate.
When she returned to the Wang family home, Wang Yingxue packed a few clothes and prepared to go back to the city with them.
Chen Zhaodi wanted to say a few more words to Aunt Wang, but then she saw that the Wang family had already closed the door.
The Huang family members were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to take Wang Yingxue back to the city. However, a problem has arisen.
There were only 6 people when they arrived, so they could squeeze in and find a place to sit.
But now that there's Wang Yingxue, someone has to sit at the very back.
Chen Zhaodi made the decision, intending for Huang Eryuan to sit in the trough: "Honey, you sit in the back. It's cooler there."
Huang Eryuan was reluctant and wanted to ask Xu Junhui to sit in the back: "Um, Junhui..."
Chen Zhaodi knew him very well. As soon as Huang Eryuan opened his mouth, Chen Zhaodi guessed what he wanted to say and interrupted him directly, saying, "Junhui, help Qinqin get into the car first."
Then he walked up to Huang Eryuan, glared at him, and warned, "Don't forget who borrowed this car. How could you let Junhui sit in the back?"
"Besides, even the seats at the back are places that many people would love to sit in but can't. You should be grateful."
Alright, since Chen Zhaodi has said so, Huang Eryuan had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
However, after Xu Junhui helped Huang Qinqin into the car, he offered, "Honey, why don't I sit in the back with Dad?"
“Dad might get a little bored sitting alone in the back. If I stay with him, at least we can talk.”
Huang Qinqin looked at Xu Junhui with emotion and said softly, "How can you be so kind?"
Seeing that the others were still outside and hadn't gotten on the bus, Huang Qinqin waved to Xu Junhui, signaling him to lower his head.
Xu Junhui thought she had something to say to him, so he obediently lowered his head.
Then Huang Qinqin gently kissed him: "This is your reward. Thank you for sitting in the back with Dad."
"It's not hard work, I'm going to find Dad now."
Xu Junhui walked over to Huang Eryuan and said, "Dad, I feel a bit stuffy sitting in the car. Shall we sit in the back and get some fresh air?"
"Sure, I also feel a bit stuffy sitting inside, haha."
With someone by his side, Huang Eryuan no longer felt unhappy.
Huang Eryuan put his arm around Xu Junhui's shoulder and walked towards the car, but once they got on, they found a basket of snails on the car.
Huang Eryuan leaned out and shouted to Chen Zhaodi, who hadn't boarded the bus yet, "Wife! Look, there's a basket of snails here, and they're quite big."
Stone snail?
Chen Zhaodi found it strange that there were snails in the car.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yingxue, who was standing nearby, knew that it was her uncle and his family who had put it there.
She turned her head away reluctantly to look at the Wang family. She didn't know how long it would be before she could come back to see them again.
Turning her head, she saw Uncle Wang and the others quietly crouching on the wall, also watching her.
Wang Yingxue suddenly wanted to back out. Actually, she was also very scared. She was about to marry someone she had just met.
Although it was her own choice and she did have feelings for Huang Jianguo, she was still confused inside.
But when she thought about her uncle's current situation, Wang Yingxue became determined. She really couldn't continue to be a burden to them like this.
The reason Wang Yingxue insisted on having her aunt intervene so that she wouldn't have to come back to visit them in the future wasn't because she was truly afraid of being kicked out of the Huang family.
Honestly, if the Huang family really didn't want her anymore, they wouldn't care that she had nowhere to go.
Wang Yingxue did this simply to ensure that even if she was discovered to have a large appetite and was kicked out of the house, her uncle and the others wouldn't know.
As long as she doesn't go back on her own initiative, they'll assume she's doing well.
Wang Yingxue smiled at Chen Zhaodi and said, "These should have been placed here by my uncle and his family. I just happened to pick up quite a few this morning when I went to the stream."
"These river snails are quite delicious when stir-fried with some perilla leaves. People in our village sometimes stir-fry them to eat."
The reason it's only occasional is that stir-frying river snails requires a lot of oil to make them taste good.
The villagers use very little oil when cooking; they mainly cook a dish when they're craving something delicious, or to entertain relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After hearing this, Chen Zhaodi was even more confused. Wasn't Aunt Wang telling them not to come back to see them in the future a way of cutting off all contact?
Why would you secretly send them river snails?
After watching the Huang family and Wang Yingxue drive away, Uncle Wang tightly gripped the few ten-yuan bills in his hand, feeling guilty towards his deceased sister.
Uncle Wang's two sons said firmly, "Dad, Mom, we will definitely work hard to earn money and try to save up money as soon as possible."
“Once our family’s financial situation improves, we’ll go to the city and return the fifty yuan dowry to Huang Jianguo and his family, then I can resume my relationship with my cousin!”
