Chapter 338: Marrying My Daughter Again
Lin family
The eighth day of the first lunar month is the day when the Lin family marries their daughter. Before dark, Qin Shulan took Lin Zhongbao and Wei Jingfen and pasted big red "囍" characters on the doors of their home and the family compound.
"Old Qin, your daughter is getting married again tomorrow." The neighbor joked with Qin Shulan.
The latter smiled and said, "Yes, you must come early to the wedding tomorrow."
The neighbor smiled and said that they were not married. When Lin Siyu got married for the first time, they went to her wedding to give gifts.
Now that she is getting married for the second time, if they want to drink in the wedding wine, they have to do a favor. They are not very willing to drink in this wedding wine.
Moreover, according to the rules, there shouldn't be a wedding banquet for a second marriage, and even if there is one, no favors should be accepted. However, the Lin family has even found someone to help write the favor letters.
It was Old Wang who had retired from the Propaganda Department of their factory. Old Wang used to be in charge of propaganda in the factory and had beautiful handwriting. Whenever there was a wedding or funeral in the factory, they would ask Old Wang to write a letter of thanks.
The person who wrote the favor has already been found, which clearly shows that he wants to collect another favor.
Lin Zhongbao was pasting the word "囍" absentmindedly and didn't even notice that it was pasted crookedly.
"Zhongbao, the "囍" character you pasted is crooked. Tear it off and paste it again." Fortunately, Qin Shulan saw it and quickly asked him to tear it off and paste it again.
Lin Zhongbao came to his senses and hurriedly tore off the "囍" character. However, he accidentally used too much force and tore the "囍" character into two pieces.
Qin Shulan: “…”
"I'll go back and get a new one."
Wei Jingfen looked up at her man and asked, "What's wrong with you lately? You seem absent-minded when doing things."
"Can you please stop asking?" He was almost annoyed.
"You are my man, can't I ask?" Wei Jingfen pulled Lin Zhongbao's arm and made him face her.
"Also, you said last month that you lent Lao Wei your salary, and he would pay you back after he got his salary at the beginning of the month. Tomorrow is the 10th, when will he pay you back?"
Lin Zhongbao scratched his hair irritably. "We'll talk about it after the Lantern Festival and when the factory reopens."
Their factory's performance was not very good and there was not much work to do. In order to pay less wages, the factory decided to resume work after the Lantern Festival.
"Don't you know to go to his house and ask for it?" Although they were not in the same family compound, they were not far away.
Lin Zhongbao: "You stupid woman, do you understand? Who would ask for money during Chinese New Year? Old Wei and I have a falling out, so you're happy, right?"
"I……"
"You guys can post it yourselves, I'm going to go out for a walk." Lin Zhongbao turned and left.
"Treasure in the forest." Wei Jingfen stomped her feet and shouted.
Qin Shulan came down with the new "囍" character and saw that only her daughter-in-law was at the door. She asked, "Where is Zhongbao?"
"You ran out again." Wei Jingfen said unhappily.
Qin Shulan also felt that her son had been running away from home recently, but she still said, "When a man runs away from home, he must have important matters to attend to. As his wife, you should understand."
"He had business, but he didn't bring back a penny."
When he first started doing that private job, he took money home twice. Later, as he worked harder and longer, he had no money to take home.
Upon asking, we found out that the boss's goods had not been sold yet and it would take some time before they could settle the bill together so that they would not lose any money.
She even suspected that Zhongbao had been cheated by that boss.
Qin Shulan glanced at Wei Jingfen with dissatisfaction, "No more words, come on, keep posting."
The furniture with forty-six legs, four bright red beddings, a red enamel washbasin, and ten pairs of shoes were all that Lin Siyu had as her dowry.
The furniture was quite expensive. Lin Yong and Qin Shulan didn't want to spend a penny, and Lin Siyu wanted to keep some for herself, so they bought the furniture second-hand and repainted it until it looked almost like new.
Lin Siyu spent 150 yuan to prepare a decent dowry for herself, and also gave 50 yuan to hold a wedding banquet for her parents.
In order to marry decently, she also bought herself a red skirt that matched her red coat perfectly, and she spent thirty yuan on it.
She didn't even have a hundred yuan in her hand now, but she was not worried. After she married into the Lu family, she would get a red envelope.
When the new daughter-in-law comes home, the relatives of the Lu family will give her red envelopes, and she can also earn money by writing articles.
Lin Siyu was getting married, so naturally she couldn't get married from the living room. Lin Yong and his wife gave up the master bedroom, decorated it, and let her get married from the master bedroom.
Lin Siyu is getting married tomorrow and is still a little nervous. She didn't sleep much at night.
All she could think about was the sweet life she would have after marrying Tianyou.
The Lin family got up at five in the morning. Lin Zhongbao came back at twelve o'clock and fell asleep immediately.
At around six o'clock in the morning, the relatives of the Lin family who came to help also arrived.
Qin Shulan told her relatives not to mention anything about first or second marriage, as it was not nice to mention such things on such a happy day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the chef who was invited to prepare the banquet arrived, and a large stove made of bricks was built in the yard.
Lin Yong and Lin Zhongbao borrowed a few tables and placed them in the yard.
Lin Siyu put on makeup in front of the mirror, applying powder, drawing eyebrows, and applying lipstick. Her black hair was loose and a red flower was pinned to her ear.
Wearing her red dress, red coat, and red leather shoes, Lin Siyu felt that she looked even more beautiful than when she married Gu Huai.
"Sister Siyu, you are so beautiful." Lin Siyu's cousin Wang Siqi walked into the room and said.
Lin Siyu curled her lips and smiled, with unconcealable pride in her eyes.
"You can be this beautiful even when you're married."
Wang Siqi shook her head. "I'm not as pretty as you. How can I be this beautiful?"
"Sister Siyu, can you tell me about college?" Wang Siqi is already in her third year of high school and will be taking the college entrance exam in a few months.
However, she was a little hesitant about whether to go to university or join her parents' factory.
Her parents saved some money and planned to buy her a job in a factory after she graduated from high school, so that she could work in the same factory with them and have a complete family.
Lin Siyu: "That's a lot to say. The Rongcheng University we attend is the best university in Rongcheng, better than any university in our province. There's even a Wutong Avenue on campus, which has a history of over a hundred years..."
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Tianyou came to pick up the bride. Coming with him were his two cousins from the next room over and four childhood friends.
This childhood friend, our relationship is just average, he's just here to make up the numbers.
Everyone was riding a Phoenix brand bicycle with a red ribbon tied around it, and the scene looked quite lively.
As soon as they entered the family compound, Lu Tianyou's cousins Lu Feng and Lu Cheng helped distribute wedding candies, and everyone who received the candies said congratulations.
After going upstairs, Lu Tianyou gave red envelopes to the people blocking the door to open it. He gave out ten red envelopes, but Lin Zhongbao, who was blocking the door, still said it was not enough.
Lu Tianyou suppressed his dissatisfaction and stuffed five more into the box, but Lin Zhongbao still said it was not enough.
The people who came to pick up the bride had some complaints, and Lu Feng said directly: "Blocking the door and making a fuss is just for fun, but this is not the way to block it!"
It is obvious that they are just trying to get more red envelopes by blocking us and not letting us in.
"It's okay, it's okay." The groom Lu Tianyou had to comfort the brothers who came with him to pick up the bride.
"Zhongbao, open the door and let your brother-in-law in." Lu Tianyou stuffed four more red envelopes in.
Lin Zhongbao put the red envelope in his bag and wanted to take more, but Qin Shulan pulled him away.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Tianyou looked at Qin Shulan and called her "Mom".
"Yeah." Qin Shulan responded with a smile and pointed to the door of the master bedroom.
Lu Tianyou walked over happily, knocked on the door and shouted: "Wife, open the door, I'm here to pick you up."
Lin Siyu blushed inside the door. Wei Jingfen pushed the door shut and said, "If you want to open the door, give me a red envelope first."
"Yes, give a red envelope." Wang Siqi also shouted.
Lu Tianyou stuffed four red envelopes in. Wei Jingfen took three and gave one to Wang Siqi. She then shouted outside, "Not enough, give more."
Wang Siqi looked at the red envelope in her hand: "..."
