Chapter 68 Return to Shen City
Xia Wanyang threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mom, I haven't finished the food you made last time. Why did you make so much in such a hot weather?"
Mother Xia hugged her gently and said, "Put it away. Mom will only do it for one day. I will feel more at ease if you bring more food."
Xia Wanyang waved her hand and collected all the pots and bowls, then put out a small box of money, "Mom, keep these for the family!"
Mother Xia waved her hand, "I haven't touched the box you left behind when you left. You can keep it first. We all have salaries, which is enough for our expenses. Being too extravagant will arouse suspicion. I have watched your second sister-in-law grow up, so I didn't say anything, but I can't say anything about your eldest sister-in-law. If she suspects me, I won't even be able to explain it. It's good like this now!"
Finally, there was no choice but for Xia Wanyang to put away the cash box, but she released a tank of stream water for Xia's father to take another bath.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day. Yesterday, Xia Wanyang mailed all the things that her mother had prepared for her back to Chen City. When she and Zhang Shiye went back, they could travel light except for food.
Father Xia had already bought the return tickets for the two of them two days ago. They were soft sleeper berths, which were better quality than the ones they had when they returned!
Mother Xia handed the ticket to Zhang Shiye and said, "When you go back and agree on the date for the wedding, send a telegram or call us. Then we can ask for leave in advance and buy the tickets."
Zhang Shiye took the ticket, showing a few big white teeth and smiled, "I know, auntie!"
At noon, Xia's mother brought Zhang Shiye and Xia Wanyang to the hotel where Li Na's wedding was held. Xia's mother's sister Gu Yan led Li Na and Shi Wenqiang to greet the guests at the door. Shi Wenqiang had a sullen face and didn't smile at all. Li Na was very happy, but why did she keep holding her belly?
Mother Xia led the two of them over and handed over the red envelopes she had prepared, "Congratulations, Second Sister."
Gu Yan took the red envelope and squeezed it twice, "Thank you, Third Sister. Hey, this is Wan Yang's boyfriend, right? Look at this guy, he looks really energetic!"
Xia Wanyang smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
After some polite conversation, Xia's mother and the other two walked into the restaurant. Xia Wanyang whispered in Xia's mother's ear, "Mom, why does Li Na keep touching her belly?"
Mother Xia looked around and whispered, "She's probably pregnant. I'm also confused, but the groom doesn't look happy. Look at his stinky face. He didn't even say hello!"
The mother and daughter were whispering to each other in the front, and Zhang Shiye was following behind.
After everyone was seated and the oath-taking ceremony had just begun, two groups of people rushed in. One of the men in the first group went up and grabbed Li Na, "Nana, how could you marry someone else?"
Another group of people also rushed over. The man in the lead pushed the man who was holding Li Na and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Na was so frightened that she panicked, "Li Qiang, Wang Gang, why are you here?"
Li Qiang grabbed one of Li Na's arms and said, "Nana, didn't I tell you? If you wait for me for another two years, I will definitely be able to save enough for the betrothal gift. Didn't you promise me to wait?"
Wang Gang grabbed his other arm and said, "Bullshit, Nana is already pregnant with my son, why would she wait for you for two years?"
Shi Wenqiang was pushed aside and shouted, "Li Na, you stinky bitch, the child you are pregnant with is not mine? Do you still want me to be the cheap father?"
Li Na was completely panicked and could only look at Gu Yan and Li Quanjun who were sitting in the audience.
Half of the guests today were Li Quanjun's relatives and his colleagues from the factory. Looking at this scene, he felt that his face had been completely lost by his own daughter.
His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were cold and sharp, like two sharp blades, as if he wanted to cut the person in front of him into pieces. His body was trembling slightly, and the anger in his heart was gushing out like a volcano, and could erupt at any time.
"You rebellious girl, I am going to break off relations with you!" This sentence exploded in the air like thunder. The guests were whispering below. Gu Yan couldn't hold back Li Quanjun who was about to leave, and hurriedly apologized from table to table.
Shi Wenqiang supported his father with one hand and his mother with the other, and said before leaving, "This fickle thing is for you, Li Na, if you dare to harass me again, I will call the police!"
Xia Wanyang sat downstairs, excitedly eating melon seeds and watching the excitement. Zhang Shiye placed a water cup in front of her lovingly, "Drink some water."
Half an hour later, Gu Yan finally calmed the guests down, and warmly saw off his colleagues and friends, packing up a portion of the dishes that were not served for each person.
"I'm sorry everyone, today's incident was all a misunderstanding. Those bastards courted Nana and after being rejected, they came here to disgust us on purpose!"
I have to say, some people actually believed this statement, and the situation was finally stabilized.
Li Na was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Li Qiang and Wang Gang were still confronting each other. Mother Xia led the two of them to Gu Yan and said, "Second sister, we will go back first!"
Gu Yan snorted coldly, "Have you seen enough of the excitement today? Third sister, keep your daughter and son-in-law in check. You know what to say and what not to say."
Xia Wanyang frowned, and her mother smiled slightly, "Yeah, it was fun to watch. Next time your family holds a wedding, remember to invite me. After all, I can watch a lively wedding by spending some gift money, so I won't lose anything. As for whether he will go out and say something nonsense, don't worry, that will never happen. After all, I can't let others get disgusted with me!"
Gu Yan was so angry that he clenched his fists and shook, "You..."
Xia Wanyang smiled smugly, "Go back quickly, second aunt. If those two groups start fighting again, it will be the end of my cousin's pregnancy!"
After that, the three of them left the restaurant together.
Since they didn't get to eat, Xia's mother simply invited the two of them to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal. After the meal, she took Xia Wanyang and Zhang Shiye to the Central Department Store and Xujiahui. At Xia Wanyang's request, they went to Xinhua Bookstore. At that time, there were no books related to learning in the bookstore. In the end, Xia Wanyang selected four famous classics and some picture books to kill time when she got home.
The next day at noon, the two people who originally wanted to travel light ended up carrying a lot of things in their hands.
Mother Xia was reluctant to leave. She didn't feel anything when she was at home, but she was very reluctant to leave when she had to. Xia Wanyang stood aside with red eyes, "Mom, I will write to you when I get back. I will come home to see you when I have the chance, okay?"
Mother Xia nodded and said, "You have to take good care of yourself."
Father Xia patted Zhang Shiye on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave Yangyang to you!"
Zhang Shiye replied solemnly: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yangyang!"
The two of them got on the train, and Xia Wanyang didn't turn her head back until she could no longer see anyone. Zhang Shiye sat beside her and held her hand. "Let's go back and choose a date, and then ask our parents to come, okay?"
Xia Wanyang burst into laughter and said, "So you're calling mom and dad now?"
Zhang Shiye was relieved when he saw the little girl smile, "It doesn't matter whether I call you earlier or later, you are destined to be my wife anyway!"
