"That's enough. White sugar is fine. Why call it wedding candy? We'll compensate you. Is there anything else?"
The more Xu Fang listened, the more she felt Zhu Kou was inhuman. She hated herself for being so blind.
She also regretted not listening to her father's advice. The good thing was that she could have a second chance.
"It's gone."
When Xu Fang spoke, her father's eyes turned cold, his gaze as if looking at an ant intimidating Zhu Kou.
"In total..."
"Don't bother calculating, it's fifty in total, take it all, keep the change."
With a flourish, Xu's father pulled five ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Zhu Kou with a beaming smile.
With trembling hands, Zhu Kou took the money, touching it repeatedly. Old Mrs. Zhu couldn't resist touching it too.
It's true, they really did earn five ten-dollar bills in just one day.
Actually, it's fine to hold this banquet several times.
Li Yiyi: There's absolutely no need for that.
"By the way, you don't need to go to work tomorrow. A good worker needs not only a sound mind, but also decent character."
Their smiles froze on their faces as Zhu Kou and Old Lady Zhu looked up in disbelief at Xu's father and Xu Fang.
There wasn't a trace of joking on his serious face, so it was true.
He lost his job.
As the joy faded, Zhu Kou looked helplessly at Old Madam Zhu. He knew Xu's father's uncompromising nature and dared not ask for help.
Knowing Xu Fang's personality, he made a point of approaching her, even using candy wrappers he had saved up for a long time—it was all his hard work.
If it weren't for the great temptation from Xu's father, he wouldn't have been willing to spend so much on Xu Fang.
Wow!
This is exactly what I envision a male lead should be like.
[Raise an eyebrow and you're asking how much; open your mouth and you're saying, "Even the King of Heaven is no match for you, you should be fired."]
The person thinking about it was oblivious, but the listener frowned.
Even the King of Heaven is a scoundrel, isn't he?
Old Li became alert. His daughter actually admired someone like that; he had to keep a close eye on her and not let her be fooled by a scoundrel.
More than stinginess or obedience, he feared hooligans.
Li Laoda wouldn't forget that he used to be a capable loafer; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to marry Jiang Yuting.
Speaking of myself, I'm certainly good, but if I were to find a daughter, a million wouldn't do.
Zhu Kou was heartbroken that his lack of character was the reason for his dismissal. He desperately wanted to explain what was wrong with his character.
But he didn't dare; Xu's father was the manager of the soap factory, and he dared not offend him.
He hadn't offended anyone, but he couldn't stay at the soap factory. If he had, he wouldn't have been able to find a job in the county town.
“It’s okay, son. I believe you’re gold. You’ll shine wherever you are. It’s just a soap factory. We won’t go.”
Grandma Zhu comforted Zhu Kou, saying that she knew her own son well, and that Zhu Kou was the best person in her heart.
If Zhu Kou hadn't liked Xu Fang, she might not have agreed to let Xu Fang into the family.
【Forehead.】
Yes, gold shines, but Zhu Kou is a tough nut to crack; it won't.
I know you have a bias, but don't be too biased; it's better for both you and Zhu Kou.
"Mother, you're right. With my abilities, I can thrive anywhere."
One is shameless enough to praise, and the other is shameless enough to admit it.
Li Yiyi and the others were utterly speechless at Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Kou. Oh well, they figured they could take care of their own business; they shouldn't worry about it so much.
The only happy thing was that they didn't have to go in for the banquet.
I knew it! Letting the bride walk in front was feasible. Look, the bride's already gone, so none of the guests need to go in.
The fresh air was more appealing to them; there was no need to smell the sour, rotten odor inside the Zhu family's house.
"Aunt Zhu, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now. I have things to do at home!"
Bearing everyone's hopes, Aunt Zhao spoke up.
Grandma Zhu heard this, turned her head to look at the large group of people at the door, then looked at the dishes on the table.
"Don't leave, all of you. My son didn't get married, but he's escaped the misery of the soap factory. The banquet will still be held today. Don't be stingy with your gifts later."
Escape the misery of the soap factory,
They all doubted that they had heard correctly. Who was that looking blank and helpless just now? And who was comforting Zhu Kou?
Old Mrs. Zhu would say anything just to collect a little money as a gift.
"No need, my son still wants to go back to the misery of the soap factory, this kind of banquet is not suitable for my family."
One of the aunties who came to the feast made an excuse and left early; the rest of them, without saying a word, also slipped away.
This banquet at the Zhu family's house
They were absolutely unwilling to eat it, let alone escape from the sea of suffering; it would be more like asking them to enter the sea of suffering.
"Father, Mother, let's go!"
There weren't many people left, and Li Yiyi wanted to slip away quickly as well.
Those who remain at the end experience a strange pressure; Boss Li and Jiang Yuting left without warning.
However, they were so good-looking that they were spotted immediately in the crowd, and Grandma Zhu called out without thinking.
"Li family, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
The Li family,
Li Yiyi, the eldest son, had no intention of turning back. Living too close to his family wasn't a good thing. As soon as he finished speaking, Old Lady Zhu appeared behind him.
Damn it, I was a step too slow; I was almost at the door.
Looking back, all the doors of the neighbors' houses were closed. There were many people just a moment ago, but now there wasn't a single person in sight.
Little did Li Laoda and Li Yiyi know that it was Old Lady Zhu calling out to them, urging them to leave quickly.
Boss Li and the others have already been called, are they far behind?
Because it's not far, they wish they could have wheels on their feet and get home in the blink of an eye.
