Chapter 96 Who's being mocked?
When Yang Liu received the call from his brother Peng, he was speechless. Peng told him to arrange for someone to drive the car back, and as for him, he didn't need to come back; he should just stay at the factory and work...
Brother, listen to this, are you even speaking human language?
"We'll keep it simple here, but we'll have a big celebration back in Shenzhen. That'll be your chance to shine." Wu Peng reassured Yang Liu by promising him the best man position and that he would be in charge of the banquet.
These past two days, Wu Peng and Yao Fanghua have been taking turns going out to buy things: wedding candy, stickers, balloons, streamers, and bright red bed sheets and duvet covers with double happiness symbols...
Wu Peng also went to a gold shop to learn from the master craftsmen who made bracelets.
The two thoroughly cleaned the house inside and out. Wu Peng diligently put the new bed sheets and duvet covers in the washing machine to wash and then hung them up to dry, happily thinking that he would change them on the night they got their marriage certificate.
He pasted the double happiness symbol on all the windows, doors, furniture, and appliances, and hung garlands in the bedrooms, living room, and even the yard.
Yao Fanghua disagreed, "Isn't it too early to put up the posters? The wedding is on the 8th, which is still ten days away."
“It’s not early, we’re getting the marriage certificate next Monday.” Wu Peng stared intently at Yao Fanghua.
In his view, the day he registers his marriage is his wedding night, and he'll have sex with his wife openly and without reservation. As for the wedding ceremony on the 8th, it's just a formality. If it weren't for the fact that the 8th is the only auspicious day besides the day he registers his marriage, he wouldn't wait so many days to hold the wedding. Oh, and he still has to wait for his car. In short, the earliest he can hold the wedding is the 8th.
Yao Fanghua blushed under Wu Peng's gaze and hid in the study.
On Sunday evening, the two were melting gold at the workbench. The tools and materials were readily available, and Yao Fanghua was already very skilled at this job.
Wu Peng kept saying it wasn't enough, and kept adding more. Eventually, Yao Fanghua simply ignored him, saying that adding more would make it too thick.
Knowing this, Wu Peng pushed Yao Fanghua aside and simply took matters into his own hands. While recalling the master's techniques, he clumsily operated the equipment, occasionally asking Yao Fanghua for advice.
In the end, two gold bracelets were made with uneven surfaces and were not perfectly round, but they were quite heavy.
Wu Peng even had Yao Fanghua try it on, and seeing that it fit her, he was satisfied. That's exactly the weight and visual impact he wanted!
Aside from complaining about the weight, Yao Fanghua was satisfied with everything else. After all, it was made by Wu Peng himself, a token of his heart. Big it was, flashy it was flashy, but it was their wedding, and she and he should both be happy and satisfied.
The next morning, the two went to queue up to get their marriage certificate. After getting the certificate, they went to the fan factory to distribute wedding candy. Then in the afternoon, they went back to the courtyard to distribute wedding candy.
We went to the steamed bun shop first.
Wu Peng came here prepared.
Seeing Yao Fanghua's breath quicken and her head shrink almost imperceptibly, Li Chunying casually stretched it back out and fawned over her daughter and Wu Peng, serving them a full plate of steamed buns.
Li Chunying was terrified when she heard that her daughter might lose her leadership position and could even be arrested.
She's learned her lesson and won't try to take advantage of others again.
Wu Peng was really hungry. Seeing that Yao Fanghua didn't call out "Mom," he didn't either. He poured some vinegar and started eating.
Li Chunying breathed a sigh of relief, "Eat, eat more, there's more if you're not full."
Yao Fanghua showed Li Chunying the still-warm marriage certificate.
Li Chunying didn't notice the marriage certificate, but first saw the sparkling ring on Yao Fanghua's finger. She grabbed Yao Fanghua's hand and examined it closely. "Why is this so shiny? Is it expensive? How much does it cost? Mom wants to buy one to wear too." This was much prettier than a gold ring, and more importantly, it was so shiny. The more Li Chunying looked at it, the more she liked it. Despite the hard work at the steamed bun shop, she had really made money.
Yao Fanghua looks at Wu Peng.
Wu Peng pulled a handkerchief from Yao Fanghua's pocket, wiped his mouth, and then slowly said, "Two thousand two." Wu Peng had his eye on this one at first glance, judging by the price tag. He wanted to have a son, so he chose this two-thousand-two option, hoping to have two sons.
Li Chunying thought she had misheard. "Twenty-two or two hundred and twenty?"
Wu Peng smiled and said loudly, "Mom, this is the wedding ring I bought for Hua Hua in Hong Kong. It's diamond and cost two thousand two."
Li Chunying let out a cry, feeling a little dizzy. "How much is this flashy but impractical thing?" Li Chunying wanted to say the word, but she forced herself to keep quiet.
Wu Peng repeated it loudly, "Two thousand two!"
Good heavens, he really dares to spend! Now she believes that Wu Peng, this brat, comes from a wealthy family; his extravagant spending habits must have been innate.
Seeing that everyone around him was listening intently and had frozen in place, Wu Peng took out wedding candies and newspapers from his bag and started handing them out. "My wedding with Hua Hua is on the 8th of next month. Please have some wedding candies. As for the Hua Peng Electrical Appliances Factory mentioned in the newspaper, it's mine. Let me show you my factory's products. If you need anything, my neighbors will give you a discount."
After handing out newspapers and wedding candies, he handed out business cards to everyone.
The people around were stunned.
"Is that Yang Liu in the newspaper?"
"It's Yang Liu. I even confirmed it with his biological mother."
“I said at the time that the person in the newspaper looked familiar, but looking at the name, I didn’t know anyone from Qingpu. I thought it was just that they looked similar.”
Who is Yang Liu?
"That's Yang Laoda, Yang Qingping, the one from our police station, his brother. Didn't Old Lady Yang ask someone to find a partner for her son during the New Year? It was this Yang Liu. No wonder he didn't like any of them. Turns out he's making a lot of money outside. Look at him in the newspaper, so impressive."
"Oh, that kid from that family." Didn't I hear that kid was a hoodlum? And this kid handing out wedding candy, he looks kind too, like that ragpicker who goes from house to house, doesn't he look a bit like him? It's just that their outfits, one is worlds apart.
"Little Wu, what's this? You've become a big boss? I've heard you guys are making a fortune out there."
"Why are you still calling me Xiao Wu? Didn't you see that the business card says 'General Manager Wu'? You should call me General Manager Wu!"
"Mr. Wu, how big is your factory?"
Wu Peng was reserved, but his voice was incredibly penetrating at this moment, "It's bigger than the fan factory here, and the things I produce are also more high-end. My Huapeng Electric Factory's positioning is just like what the newspapers say: high-end, high-quality products!"
After listening to Wu Peng finish speaking, everyone, holding newspapers and business cards, felt that even the candy in their mouths no longer tasted sweet.
Wu Peng went to the grocery store next to the steamed bun shop and bought all the bottled soy sauce and a large vat of bulk soy sauce.
He left all the bottled soy sauce at Li Chunying's shop, saying, "Mom, keep these soy sauces for the shop to use slowly. Anyone with a container, come over here, one jin of soy sauce per person, it's free, it's on me!"
Those with containers rushed over immediately, while those without ran home. It was free soy sauce! Who wouldn't take advantage of such a bargain? Counting on their fingers, including the children, there were seven people in the family, and that meant seven pounds of soy sauce.
Soon, a group of people, with their families in tow, rushed over, forming a long queue in front of the grocery store. Everyone was cheerful, and the place was bustling with activity. The names of Wu Peng and Huapeng Electric Appliance Factory were spread far and wide.
Li Chunying clutched her chest. Although she felt bad about wasting the soy sauce, she felt a sense of relief and her anger dissipated. But seriously, everyone, open your eyes and look! Did her Huahua really need this bottle of soy sauce? Those heartless bastards! They could have bribed her with gold, but giving her a bottle of soy sauce? Who were they insulting?! Shameless!
