Chapter 101's words were offensive.
Seeing his smug look, Zhou Congsheng rolled his eyes, raised his hand and punched him on the shoulder. Even if he's his brother-in-law, he hasn't even entered the door yet, what's with all the arrogance?
"Hehehe, no matter how you treat me today, I won't be angry. I'm happy today. My mother has already chosen the date, and I'm going to have a big wedding and make it lively."
"Oh, really?"
Zeng Hu smiled. This was the result of his discussion with Shen Yuming. After they decided to be together, they felt that at this age, there was no need for a big wedding.
I went home and told the old lady, but she didn't agree.
Although the past events were painful memories, the old lady spoke of them calmly, without making Shen Yuming feel any disgust or offense.
She meant that her previous two relationships had been too painful, both the wedding and the marriage were too heavy, so this time she wanted to have a proper wedding to get rid of the bad luck from the past and move towards happiness from now on.
So this time, we're not just going to hold a meeting, we're going to hold a big one, inviting all the relatives and friends we can.
Shen Yuzhu, holding Shen Yuming by her side, listened with a burning passion in her heart, while Guo Rou burst into tears.
Lunch was exceptionally lavish. After receiving Shen Yuzhu's instructions, Guo Rou used every trick in the book to serve Zeng Hu food. Even though they were about the same age, she looked at him as if he were her son-in-law.
Two days later, Zhang Shuai and Zhang Ershun went to the Public Security Bureau together. Zeng Hu had given them a heads-up beforehand, as neither of them held any important positions.
With Wu Chen's recommendation, the whole process went very smoothly.
Zhang Ershun and Zhang Shuai were still a little dazed when they came out of the police station. Who would have thought that they would have to work in the county town one day? Well, work is work, and it's the police station.
Although the salary for the first six months was only eighteen yuan, it was still the best I could do.
When the two returned home, they were overjoyed. Sun Fenglan took the lead, killed a chicken, cooked two dishes, and invited Zhang Ershun and his children to come over for a meal to celebrate.
"From now on, you'll be government employees. Be careful at work. When you go back to the production team, don't gossip or brag with the village men, lest you break a taboo or say the wrong thing, understand?"
"Oh, honey, you don't need to tell us. We brothers know what to do." After Zhang Shuai finished speaking, he remembered something and added, "The head chef at our cafeteria said that if there's any leftover food, we can take it home. Don't worry, brother, we'll split the leftovers between our two families from now on."
Zhang Ershun waved his hand, saying that he didn't care about food. He felt like he was living in a dream. He worked at the Public Security Bureau, and his wife Guo Rou took care of Shen Zhiqing during her pregnancy and would help take care of the child in the future. She paid him twenty yuan a month!
He hadn't told anyone about this salary, but in any case, it was more than Zhang Shuai's.
“The job situation is settled, but the children, Fenglan, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Ershun and I will be working at the Public Security Bureau. He will provide lunch and dinner. I won’t get off work until 4:30 in the afternoon. Do you think we can leave the two children at your house to take care of them? Don’t worry, their food will be provided by me and their mother.”
"These are minor matters. Second brothers, you two focus on your work. I promise you'll take good care of the child."
"become!"
A month later, the wedding day of Shen Yuming and Zeng Hu arrived. Both of them had their own courtyards, so the banquet was held at their own home, with more than a dozen tables, and the head chef from the Public Security Bureau's canteen helped with the preparations.
Zeng Hu had many good friends, and with the addition of Zeng family relatives and friends, the courtyard was packed with people.
Chu Lian, Zhou Daoming, and Shen Yuzhu, along with Zhou Congsheng, who was from the bride's family, provided a dowry consisting of six quilts, two large towel blankets, four sets of bedding, and a thousand yuan as a dowry.
Zeng Hu gave them three turns and one sound, and thirty-six legs.
Zeng Hu's sister gave him a new quilt and a big red envelope. She was overjoyed that her brother had finally gotten married. She held Shen Yuming's hand the whole time she entered the room, as if she was afraid that Shen Yuming would run away.
Sitting around Zeng's mother were Zhang Jie's children.
On this joyous day, everyone who came was genuinely happy for the newlyweds.
Zhang Ershun and Guo Rou, along with Zhang Shuai and Sun Fenglan, all gave Shen Yuming a box of gifts to thank them for finding him such a good job.
Zeng Hu was overjoyed, finally getting married, but at this crucial moment, some unlucky fellow still insisted on causing trouble for him.
Fu Yu never expected that the two of them would actually get together, and that Zeng's mother would actually let Shen Yuming into the family.
She couldn't understand how someone like that could get in. He liked her so much back then, so why couldn't he let her be with Zeng Hu? She had a respectable job, and their families were of similar social standing. Why, after knowing that she liked Zeng Hu, did he still prevent them from being together?
"Oh dear, oh dear, drink less. You've only been married for a short time. If you drink too much, we won't be able to explain it to your family."
Zeng Xifeng snatched the wine glass from Fu Yu's hand and put it aside, then served her a bowl of soup.
"Have some soup."
"Sister Xifeng, why did Brother Hu suddenly get married? There are so many good women out there, how come he can't see them?"
Zeng Xifeng looked around nervously, thankfully no one heard her.
"Stop it, today is my brother's wedding day. Don't make a scene, or you'll embarrass everyone."
"Sister Xifeng, how could you say that? I just..."
Fu Yu was feeling really frustrated. After drinking a few glasses of wine, she actually burst into tears on the spot. The people at the table were all her colleagues from the Public Security Bureau. Seeing her like this, they were all so embarrassed that they scratched their toes on the ground.
Just then, Zeng Hu and Shen Yuming came to offer a toast.
Seeing her teary-eyed appearance, Shen Yuming's face turned a little pale. Before Zeng Hu could say anything, Zeng Xifeng quickly stood up, pulled her along, and invited everyone at the table to have a drink together.
"We're all acquaintances, so there'll be plenty of time to meet in the future. Just like before, if you get off work late or haven't eaten while on a mission, come to my house. Don't feel awkward. My Yuming is very kind-hearted and treats us all like brothers and sisters!"
"Yes, my sister is right, Yuming, huh?"
"Yes, I'd like to come to your house often in the future, and I'll cook delicious food for everyone."
Seeing this, the others laughed and chimed in, calling her "sister-in-law" this and "sister-in-law" that.
Fu Yu also raised her glass and clinked it with Shen Yuming's, "Comrade Shen is right, you're always welcome. So, can I come here often in the future?"
Shen Yuming composed himself and said, "Well, if Officer Fu wants to come, that's fine too, as long as..."
"What do you mean 'as long as'? Does that mean you can come whenever you want? Don't people need to make a living? Doesn't your husband want to see you? Ugh, today is my brother and sister-in-law's wedding, and you keep saying things like this that make me feel uncomfortable. You two go and go to another table to toast. Don't pay attention to this drunkard, he's causing a scene!"
As she spoke, Zeng Xifeng pushed Zeng Hu and Shen Yuming to another table. After returning, she sat next to Fu Yu, ignoring her completely.
