Although there is almost everything you need in this small yard, there is nothing to eat.
Shen Man and Yang Fang discussed it and prepared to go to the state-owned hotel to buy some food to stay for the night, and deal with the rest tomorrow.
Too many things happened today, and I really don't have the energy to think about anything else.
Shen Man: "Mom, I'll just go buy some food. You guys take a rest first, I'll be back soon."
Yang Fang nodded, took out a few food coupons from her pocket, and handed some over, "Okay, you go buy food, and I'll help your brother clean the house."
There is only one state-owned hotel nearby, not far away.
At this point, it's still meal time, so we should have our meals.
Soon, Shen Man arrived at the state-owned hotel with the money. As soon as she walked in, she saw Liu Aihong, Lu Zhengbing, and Lu's mother eating inside.
Liu Aihong's belly was rising and falling slightly, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was pregnant.
At this time, the three people were sitting not far from Shen Man, but they didn't notice her.
"Aihong, look, Fengxia just left not long ago, so why don't you make a big deal about your marriage to Zhengbing? Just get a simple marriage certificate and I'll cook a delicious meal for you at home. Is that okay?"
Mother Lu asked tentatively.
Liu Aihong rolled her eyes and touched her belly again, "Auntie, I'm not ashamed to be seen by others. Look at what you said. What do you mean by just getting a marriage certificate and forgetting about it?"
"This is a major event in my life, and it concerns my happiness for the rest of my life. I am a pure and innocent girl, married to your son, and I am pregnant with your Lu family's child. How could you let my wedding be hastily held?"
"If you don't know, you would think that I, Liu Aihong, am not worthy of being seen by others."
What's more, Zhang Fengxia is a woman, how can she be without one? This is not sincere contempt for her.
Lu Zhengbing at the side hurriedly coaxed her softly, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, be careful not to hurt the baby in your belly."
"Mom, you are so wrong about this. Aihong is pregnant with my child. How can you treat her like this?"
Mother Lu's face turned ugly and she glared at her eldest son.
He didn't even think about the fact that Fengxia had just died a few days ago and his family had lost 500 yuan to the Zhang family, so how could they get the money to hold a wedding banquet?
Apart from other things, the meat for the banquet alone would cost a lot of money. If they didn't do it well, it would bring shame to the Lu family. If they wanted to do it well, the Lu family's current assets were not enough to spend.
He really knows how to cause trouble for them.
Seeing that Mother Lu looked unhappy, Liu Aihong smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Auntie, what's with that expression on your face? What's wrong? Am I, Liu Aihong, not worthy of having a wedding?"
She took great pains to marry into the Lu family, not only to make those people in the brigade envy her, but also to make her envy her for being lucky enough to marry into the city, and soon be able to get a job and become a city dweller.
She didn't even have a wedding, and the aunties in the team didn't know how to gossip about her.
Mother Lu's body froze, her teeth itching with hatred in her heart, but she still managed a smile on her face and said through gritted teeth, "How could it be? If you really want to do it, then do it. Mom will definitely do it for you well."
Unexpectedly, she was wrong. She thought she was a good and lovely girl, but unfortunately she was not as good as the previous daughter-in-law.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let this person come to my house.
Liu Aihong curled her lips and said, "Not only in the city, but also in my hometown. My parents have no money, so I'll trouble you to pay for the money for the wedding banquet."
"I have a lot of relatives in my hometown, so I can't prepare cheap meat and vegetables. At least every table should have a bowl of oily meat."
"Also, your Lu family gave Zhang Fengxia a lot of betrothal gifts, so I also want more betrothal gifts. This request is not too much, right?"
"In addition to these, you should also secure Zhang Fengxia's job for me as soon as possible, so that when my baby is born, we can eat commercial food."
Mother Lu's expression changed instantly. She widened her eyes and subconsciously opened her mouth to refute, "No, this is absolutely not possible."
The family had already spent a considerable amount of money to buy a job for Hongmei. Although Hongmei had paid back some of the money over the past six months, it was not much in total.
Moreover, I lost another 500 yuan to the Zhang family a few days ago. Now there are only 200 yuan left at home. There is really nothing left.
Liu Aihong sneered and stood up suddenly, "So, you guys are just going to fool me?"
If this is really the case, it would be better not to get married. If she really gets married, those people outside will probably gossip about her and say that she is not as good as Zhang Fengxia.
How will she face people in the future?
Lu Zhengbing quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Aihong, Aihong, calm down first. Don't worry, I will never let you down."
"My mom was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Liu Aihong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, I won't argue with her, and I won't be angry, but these are my conditions."
"If you want to marry me, you'd better get these things done within a week, otherwise my belly will be big and it will be difficult to handle it."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Lu Zhengbing hurriedly chased after him without even glancing at Lu's mother who was behind him.
Mother Lu was so angry when she saw this scene that her face turned red and blue. If she had known earlier, she should not have let Liu Aihong stay in their Lu family.
What a disaster! What a disaster!
After Shen Man finished her meal, she saw Lu's mother's extremely ugly face. She retracted her gaze, turned around and was about to leave the state-owned hotel, but was subconsciously stopped by Lu's mother.
"Shen Man?"
"Why are you here? Did you hear everything I just said?"
It wouldn't have been good for anyone to hear it, but why did this person have to hear it? Now, the Lu family has lost all face.
Shen Man paused, turned to look at Lu's mother, and blinked, "Yes, I heard everything, every word."
"I didn't expect you, the Lu family, are so shameless. It's only been a few days since Zhang Fengxia left, and you're so impatient to let someone in."
Mother Lu's face darkened, and she looked extremely unhappy: "What do you know? This whole time, Zhang Fengxia had no sense of shame, and had an affair with a man outside. Now that she is dead, my son can't always stay by her side."
Shen Man curled her lips and said, "You can just say this to fool those people outside. Zhang Fengxia and I have been sisters-in-law for so many years. How can I not know what kind of person she is?"
"Evil deeds will be punished, so I advise you, the Lu family, not to take things too far."
After saying these two words, she turned and left.
But this made Lu's mother behind him very angry.
"Shen Man, you'd better not tell me nonsense outside."
