Listening to their sister's sobbing, Liu Chunping and his wife felt heartbroken. They could never have imagined how much she had endured over the years. Tears streamed down their cheeks, as if every drop carried an endless amount of sorrow and grievance.
"Sister, you've suffered so much. Get up! Let's not talk about the Chen family anymore. Let's live a good life from now on." Liu Chunping helped his sister up and hugged her tightly, giving her strength and comfort with his warm embrace. He knew all his sister had been through, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Yes, Chunling, let bygones be bygones. From now on, as a family, we'll support each other, and our lives will surely get better and better," Cao Cuilan echoed, her eyes gleaming with determination. She took her sister's hand and gently patted it, conveying endless care and encouragement.
Liu Chunling wiped away her tears, nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I understand. Brother, sister-in-law, I won't be stupid again. In the future, I will rely on my own efforts to give myself and my children a good life." Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if declaring to fate that she would no longer be defeated by difficulties, but would bravely face the challenges of life.
At this moment, Liu Chunling felt the warmth and support of her family, which gave her renewed courage and confidence. She decided to let go of the pain of the past, cherish the happiness in the present, and create a bright future with her own hands. No matter how many difficulties and setbacks lay ahead, she firmly believed that as long as the family was united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
Liu Yanran finally understood why this aunt kept looking at her as if she wanted to say something but hesitated when she and a few other kids were packing candy bags yesterday. However, seeing that she stopped the loss in time and did not hurt their family, she didn't care anymore!
Liu Yanran had meticulously designed this cloth bag, which she had made at a tailor shop. It was a red cloth bag, available in two sizes: large and small. The large bag contained two packs of cigarettes, half a pound of candy, and small red envelopes for the younger generations.
Although the amount in the red envelope is not much, it represents a sincere thought. The small cloth bag is relatively simple, containing eight candies, four of which are White Rabbit milk candies and the other four are fruit candies.
It is worth mentioning that they had already prepared such a bag when they held a banquet in Jing City before. Therefore, for Liu Yunfei and others, this was not the first time they had experienced such a scene.
As for these sugar coupons, they were collected by several family members. Liu Yanran had purchased a large number of them at the Friendship Store in Beijing before returning home.
The small bags would be given as gifts to every guest attending the wedding banquet, while the large bags would be reserved for the elders in the family, with each family receiving one. Because each family had a different number of children, Liu Yanran also hung a small note on the bags to distinguish them.
The Lin siblings were all doing this for the first time, and they seemed a little excited and nervous, but they were also very obedient. Liu Yanran promised to give them each two candies as a reward, which was tempting enough for the children.
They quickly set to work, carefully packing the candies into small paper bags. Though their movements were a bit clumsy, they were filled with enthusiasm and focus. Each small paper bag was filled to the brim, as if carrying the children's thoughts and expectations.
Aside from the White Rabbit candies, the other candies were diverse and disorganized. This was because Liu Yanran had purchased them from multiple locations. She felt this would create a sense of surprise for the guests, like opening a blind box. Some might get their favorite flavors, while others would try new ones, which undoubtedly added a special touch of fun to the wedding.
Although some ignorant people came to cause trouble, the wedding banquet still needed to go on. Cao Cuilan decided to take Liu Pianran and Liu Yanran to buy groceries together.
Due to the hot weather, they did not purchase ingredients in advance, but chose to go directly to the vegetable market to buy fresh vegetables now.
As for meat and other food, they had already asked the Cao family to help prepare sufficient quantities. Someone in the Cao family worked at the meat processing plant, ensuring a high-quality meat supply. This allowed them to focus on selecting other dishes to add more flavor to the wedding banquet.
