Yin Meizi said, "Money is not a problem! Dashan and I have been giving money to Qiu Sheng all these years, and we also saved the money he sent home after joining the army."
Huo Dashan nodded. "The news that Yunduan is teaching the villagers how to make sugar and is planning to invest in a sugar factory has spread all over the surrounding villages."
"Everyone knows Yunduan's reputation. We, the Huo family, must prepare a grand wedding banquet. We can't let people feel that Yunduan is being wronged by marrying into our family."
"Yes! If you need anything, just tell me. Yunduan will teach the villagers how to make sugar. It will benefit our future generations!"
"Our Huo family must never lose face!"
“…”
The five grandfathers spoke one after another.
Huo Dashan pursed his lips and said hesitantly:
"I've discussed it with my mother and sister Yin, and we've decided not to accept any gifts or money for this wedding banquet."
"I just want people from all around to come and have a drink at the wedding, to celebrate the occasion."
When it comes to not charging any membership fees, Huo Dashan becomes excited.
He wanted to let everyone in the surrounding villages know that his family had married a daughter-in-law named Yunduan, who was a god of wealth!
When socializing with people, you have to collect money for the banquet. Even if you don't have money, you have to bring something with you. It is not allowed to go to someone else's house to drink empty-handed.
Next time before going to a banquet at someone else's house, I will open the favor account book to see how much money the other party gave last time and what gifts they brought.
You can only give more than others, not less. Even if you are stingy, you have to give the same amount, otherwise you will be disliked by others.
When giving money or gifts, the amount also depends on the closeness of the personal relationship.
Why do many people like to hold banquets at every turn?
It’s because you can make money by collecting membership fees from the wedding banquet!
Huo Dashan held a banquet and invited people from all over the village to come, without accepting any gifts or money. It was obvious that he was just a sucker, inviting others to eat for free.
Definitely the first one!
As the most influential and prestigious uncle in the Huo family, he glared in anger.
"Dashan, what are you doing? You have so much money and nowhere to spend it, but you can't waste it like this!"
"I know you're happy that Qiu Sheng found a wife as capable as Yunduan, but you're being too cocky."
"We must accept this gift money! If you don't want it, just give it directly to Qiu Sheng and Yun Duan. They need money to get married and live together."
"Don't think that Yunduan is making money now. This business has both gains and losses, so it's hard to say."
Huo Dashan always obeyed the words of the uncle, but this time he was as stubborn as a bull.
"If we accept the membership fee, it won't reflect how much our Huo family values Yunduandi, and it won't show our family's dignity!"
"Don't try to persuade me any more! I won't accept any gifts or money for the wedding banquet. I've already decided on this."
Sister Yin also echoed: "Uncle, I know you are doing this for our own good, but this is our wish."
Although Liang Zhaodi didn't say anything, the look in her eyes was full of pleading.
An old man frowned and said, "If you arrange it like this, it will cost several hundred!"
Huo Dashan said stubbornly, "At worst, our family will just have to tighten their belts and get by, and we'll be fine."
"Getting married and holding a wedding banquet only happens once in a lifetime!"
"We can't treat Yunduan unfairly, nor can we lose face."
In this era, if you work for the government, you only get 40 or 50 yuan a month.
They are so poor that there are already self-employed people everywhere outside, but their village is still eating from a big pot and earning work points, and they don’t get much money all year round. A few hundred dollars is a huge sum of money.
The uncle asked helplessly: "Okay, then, we can help out a little bit."
The other uncles also nodded.
“After all, Qiu Sheng married Yunduan, a daughter-in-law who is a god of wealth, and she looks like the face of our old Huo family.”
When Huo Dashan heard that they all wanted to pay, he waved his hands and said, "Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, no need, I really have money."
"Why not? For such a big wedding, why don't you let us help with the money? Could it be that Qiu Sheng is the head of the group and married a capable wife like Yunduan, so he looks down on us?"
