Lu Jiefang naturally didn’t know. Ruan Qiqi wasn’t that talkative. And even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care, right?
No wonder there is an old saying that fools have good fortune. Lu Jiefang, this silly guy, is really lucky.
Lu Jiefang and Bi Ying's new house is in Jiangcheng, and their jobs are all there. However, Jiangcheng and Tanzhou are not far away, so it is not troublesome to come back.
Not long after the wedding, another incident occurred.
Mo Heping went to work in the northwest quietly. Mo Qiufeng originally arranged for her to work in Tanzhou, but she was unwilling and took the initiative to apply to go to the northwest.
Mo Qiufeng did not try to keep her, nor did he see her off. Instead, he hoped that after this incident, Mo Heping could make some progress. It would be a good idea for her to go to the northwest, as he hoped the harsh natural environment there could correct her bad habits.
Bai Huanxi also stayed in Tanzhou, and Mo Qiufeng arranged a job for her in an embroidery factory.
During this period, Lin Manyun came to make trouble several times. A few years ago, Lu Jiefang used his connections to transfer her out of the farm and arranged for her to work in the township health center. However, Lin Manyun was not satisfied. She wanted to return to Tanzhou and live her previous prosperous life again.
And now that Lu Jiefang is married, she wants to show off her mother-in-law's power, but Lu Jiefang didn't even inform her of the wedding date, and only sent her wedding candy after the wedding.
Lin Manyun was almost angry to death and cursed Lu Jiefang for being heartless.
If it were in the past, Lu Jiefang would still feel upset, but not now, because Bi Ying had analyzed to him that he and Yuan Chao were not that important in his mother's heart.
The obligation of support still needs to be fulfilled, but one cannot let his mother do whatever she wants. He may even have to suppress her, only in this way can he live a peaceful life.
Lu Jiefang, who regarded his wife's words as an imperial decree, immediately carried them out. Whenever Lin Manyun made a fuss, he threatened her with one sentence:
"Mom, do you want to go back to work on the farm? I'll arrange it right away."
Just one sentence made Lin Manyun obedient and the world became quiet.
After that, although Lin Manyun was still unwilling, she did not dare to make trouble anymore and stayed at her job at the township clinic obediently. The Lu Jiefang brothers would visit her once or twice a year.
Therefore, Lin Manyun lived a comfortable life in the township clinic, and even the director was polite to her.
But that was all. Bi Ying had instructed that he could only go twice a year at most. More than that would make Lin Manyun feel restless. Lu Jiefang was very obedient and only went twice a year at most. Moreover, he did not stay long each time. He would just sit for a while and then leave.
There was even one time when Lin Manyun tried to propose that she wanted to live with them, but Lu Jiefang refused without even a second thought.
"Bi Ying is not in good health and is not as strong as you. Please don't cause trouble for me. We can talk about it later when you can't take care of yourself."
Lin Manyun was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she secretly cursed Bi Ying as a vixen who had seduced her son's soul.
Since Lu Jiefang could not be relied upon, she went to Lu Yuanchao to stir up trouble, crying and complaining that Bi Ying was unfilial and disrespectful to her as her mother-in-law.
"Mom, what are you thinking? You are stronger than a cow. My sister-in-law was almost unable to survive when she was a child, and she is still weak now. You asked her to take care of you. Aren't you immoral?"
Lu Yuanchao was even more straightforward, and he made Lin Manyun faint from anger.
Unable to rely on either of her two sons, Lin Manyun became disheartened and dared not make any more trouble. She stayed in the township obediently.
At the end of March, Ruan Qiqi's family went to Hong Kong, and they still brought Manzai and Mamajiang with them. After all, they couldn't live without Potato Zaizai, so the family had to be complete.
Xia Tao and Gan Defa's wedding was in early April. Gan's mother asked a master to calculate an auspicious day, who said that if they got married on this day, they would be happily married, have many children and grandchildren, and be blessed with good fortune.
Gan's mother used all the money she earned from making gold ornaments to buy gold bars, and Gan Defa also donated a lot, filling a box with gold bars that sparkled and were particularly charming.
The wedding banquet was booked at the Zhuangyuan Building in Lingyun's home. Many wealthy people in Hong Kong wanted to book it but were unable to. However, Lingyun went home and told his father that it was his own master's wedding and he must arrange it, otherwise he would sever the father-son relationship.
When Chef Ling heard that Director Xia, who had arranged a wedding for his legitimate son, and Principal Gan were going to get married, he agreed without hesitation, turned down many orders, and devoted himself to arranging the wedding banquet.
The youngest son was not good at studying and liked to fight and cause trouble. He and his wife were so worried that their hair turned white, fearing that this bastard would go astray. Fortunately, they sent him to Jiade School. Now his son has not only turned over a new leaf, but has also made a lot of progress in his studies. This is all thanks to Director Xia and Principal Gan.
Chef Ling cooks the food himself and sells it at cost price, so he doesn’t make any profit.
On the day of the wedding banquet, all the guests who came to drink were important figures, and Ruan Qiqi also saw a familiar face.
The girl who married Mrs. Mei's second son has now become a strong and vigorous woman, completely different from her former youthful self.
"Mrs. Ruan, long time no see!"
Tang Zhenzhu came over to say hello, holding the hand of a boy of about three or four years old. The boy was wearing a small suit, his eyebrows and eyes were very straight, and he did not look around, nor was he panicked. It was obvious that he had seen big scenes before.
"Hello, Auntie!"
the little boy called out politely.
"Hello."
Ruan Qiqi smiled and praised: "Your son has been well trained, how are you doing now?"
"After I graduated from university, I joined my family's company. Now I am in charge of the business in Europe and I am also studying for a master's degree there."
Tang Zhenzhu talked about her experiences over the years. It seemed that the He family valued her very much and she also worked hard to improve herself.
"Where's the second young master?"
Ruan Qiqi asked about the playboy. Over the years, you can still see his gossip in the newspapers. Today he is with a young model, and tomorrow he is with a small star. He makes headlines more often than the stars.
"He's still the same. I don't bother with him."
Tang Zhenzhu spoke of him calmly and nonchalantly, as if she didn't care at all.
"come on!"
Ruan Qiqi encouraged with a smile, saying that once Tang Zhenzhu became stronger, she would be able to completely break away from this playboy.
"I will. Thank you, Mrs. Ruan, for your advice back then."
Tang Zhenzhu thanked her sincerely. She is no longer the naive girl she was back then, and she knows that Mrs. Ruan was truly thinking about her.
She didn't regret marrying the playboy. She had already given birth to two sons and tricked this bastard into getting a sterilization. Even if she continued to play around, she would never have another illegitimate child.
"It all depends on your own efforts."
Ruan Qiqi accepted the thanks and was very happy. Another strong and self-reliant woman was born. That was great!
The wedding banquet began. Father Gan, dressed in a suit and tie, took Xia Tao's hand, walked up to the stage, handed it to Gan Defa, and said earnestly: "Be good to A Tao. If you can't do it, your mother and I will beat you up!"
"I will!"
Gan Defa nodded vigorously, sweating profusely from nervousness.
Xia Tao couldn't help but interject, "Your son can't beat me!"
They should be more worried about their son's safety.
"A Tao, if Fa Zai does something wrong, please show some mercy and don't kill him right away. Leave some breath for me and his mother to beat him up!"
Father Gan teased half jokingly and half seriously.
"He can do no wrong, he's that stupid!"
Xia Tao answered seriously, how could I, a silly person, do anything wrong?
Gan Defa couldn't stop laughing, with his eyes full of the bride.
The guests in the audience all burst out laughing, especially Ling Yun's four friends, who slammed their hands on the table and said, "Give me a kiss, Master!"
Many other students also came. They were all active in the class and joined in the fun. The laughter and joy in Zhuangyuan Building could be heard from far away and even on the next street.
