You know, Jiang Chao had always relied on his wife to make a living, but now he is spending such a big sum of money to marry a widow. This makes them envious and a little disdainful at the same time. They think Jiang Chao is confused and that Zhang Tieying is not worthy of him.
However, on such a happy day, no one wanted to bring bad luck to others. Joyful words came one after another, making Zhang Tieying very happy.
"It's just that Jiang Chao thinks highly of me. In fact, I also told him not to be so extravagant, but he was afraid that I would be wronged."
These words sounded like she was very favored, but everyone present knew exactly how the two of them hooked up.
No one told the truth. Everyone was holding back their laughter but had to agree outwardly, "That's right, you've married the right person this time. When you have a child, Jiang Chao will be under your control. Just wait and enjoy your life!"
Zhang Tieying was so overwhelmed at this moment that her mind was filled with thoughts about how many gifts she would receive after the wedding. She did not notice the sarcastic looks from others at all.
While no one was paying attention, Zhang Tieying secretly called Feng Chuchu over and asked, "Have you found out what I asked you to find out? Has Jiang Chao's yard really been renovated? And have you bought all the major electrical appliances?"
"It's real. The yard has been re-paved with stones. The electrical appliances are all new, and the packaging boxes haven't even been unpacked yet." Feng Chuchu couldn't help but get excited when she thought about what she saw. If she really had these things, her life would be able to move to a higher level!
From this perspective, her mother didn't gain nothing by marrying that loser Jiang Chao.
"Then I feel relieved. He did a good job." Zhang Tieying showed a satisfied smile and touched the rose on his temple.
In order to stand out, she spent a huge amount of money to rent the most fashionable wedding dress, and put on the makeup carefully designed by the makeup artist. She was confident that she was the most beautiful woman in the world today, and that Liu Chunhua and the restaurant owner would all be trampled under her feet.
Soon, the auspicious time arrived, and Jiang Chao brought the wedding procession to pick up Zhang Tieying in a grand manner. The huge momentum alarmed several nearby villages, and countless people came to watch and join in the fun.
Liu Chunhua stood quietly behind the crowd, watching all this in silence.
Jiang Ruyi was afraid that she would be sad, so she pinched her fingertips with her little hand, "It's okay, you... still have me."
Liu Chunhua came back to her senses, a smile appeared on her lips, "Mom is fine, I just feel a little sad."
She had tried so hard to wait for Jiang Chao's formal wedding, but now he gave her to someone else easily. Perhaps in his heart, she was never worthy. Having no money and being too extravagant were just reasons for not being valued. It was a pity that she had not seen this clearly until now, and had wasted so many years of her youth.
"Let's go, we need to get closer to see the fun."
Liu Chunhua adjusted her mood. There would be a good show to watch later, and she couldn't be sad here.
Soon, the wedding entered its first part. Zhang Tieying and Jiang Chao completed the ceremony of husband and wife bowing to each other. Just as they were about to send the bride to the bridal chamber, they finally heard the voice that Liu Chunhua wanted.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
A dozen men rushed up, shattering the originally festive and lively atmosphere. The leader was none other than Mr. Wu, the owner of the town's largest electrical appliance store. He said angrily, "Jiang Chao, I don't care if you want to get married, but when will you pay me the balance you promised? You want to use the things without paying, and if you can't pay me later, I won't even be able to sell them."
Wow!
The crowd was in an uproar. Zhang Tieying took off her veil and said in disbelief, "What do you mean? What about the balance?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little misunderstanding, Boss Wu, why don't we talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Chao was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so he pushed Boss Wu and tried to chase him away.
Zhang Tieying shouted angrily, "Don't touch him, let him speak clearly!"
Boss Wu said, "Jiang Chao, don't blame me for not giving you face on your big day, but you also know that I am a small business. If you don't pay, the electrical appliances cannot be dismantled. If you dismantle them, I can't sell them anymore, so you see..."
"What do you mean? Is Boss Wu here to collect a debt?"
The onlookers were talking about it, and their eyes changed when they looked at Jiang Chao and Zhang Tieying. "I was wondering how these two could afford so many things. It turns out they bought them on credit! They are really just trying to show off their wealth. It's really embarrassing!"
"Who says it's not true? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at on such a happy day?"
Zhang Tieying's face turned red, then turned from red to black. She turned her head and glared at Jiang Chao!
"Explain yourself to me, what's wrong with this appliance? Didn't you say you bought it?"
"Yes... I bought it! I just... haven't paid it off yet." Seeing that he couldn't hide the truth any longer, Jiang Chao simply threw the jar into the air, "But don't worry, the boss said that he would bring the money back in the next two days, and by then, the balance will be exactly the same. I promise not to let you worry."
Then he turned to Boss Wu and said, "Boss Wu, we agreed to give me a few days' grace. How can you be so mean as to ruin a good deed? Do you think I can't pay this money back?"
Boss Wu was shaken. He didn't want to do things so drastically. He had to bring people to Jiang Chao's house because he suddenly heard that Jiang Chao couldn't come up with the money. But if he got the money back and made a scene at someone else's wedding, it would be unacceptable.
Seeing that Boss Wu didn't say anything, Jiang Chao hurried to coax Zhang Tieying, "My dear wife, please forgive me this time. I just wanted to give you a surprise and didn't think it through. Have you forgotten that we still have the boss? There will definitely be no problem."
It has come to this. If Zhang Tieying turns hostile now, it will only make people laugh at her. She took two deep breaths and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll settle the score with you later!"
But at this moment, two groups of people came to the door of Jiang's house, clamoring for Jiang Chao to pay back the money.
"And ours. The labor and materials for your yard renovation have not been paid yet. Jiang Chao, are you planning to default on your debt?"
These people are all physical laborers, and are not as easy to talk to as Boss Wu. They all have loud voices, and the crowd burst into laughter as soon as they finish speaking.
Zhang Tieying had never felt so embarrassed as she did today. She looked at Jiang Chao angrily, "God damn it, what's going on?"
"Wife, I..."
"Here, this is the money that Jiang Chao owes you for materials and labor. It's got his signature on it, in black and white. It's impossible for me to lie to you." The head of the construction team threw out a receipt. Zhang Tieying took just one look at it and felt dizzy before his eyes.
She staggered twice and almost fell down. She was supported by two migrant workers. "Hey, hey, hey, don't try to scam me. It's only natural to pay back debts. We are all honest craftsmen. Don't try to blackmail us."
Zhang Tieying was embarrassed and angry, and wanted to slap Jiang Chao in the face, "This is all your fault! If you don't solve this problem, we won't get married!"
