Liu Jiakang finally couldn't bear it anymore. He broke free from his father's hand, rushed towards Chen Erhe, and shouted angrily: "Chen Erhe, don't go too far! Although our family is poor, we have backbone and will never steal anything! If you dare to insult us again, I will fight you!" There were sparks of anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn Chen Erhe to death.
At this point, the surrounding guests gathered around and began to criticize Chen Erhe's rude behavior. Some even expressed their willingness to stand up to Liu Jiakang and his family and resist Chen Erhe's harassment. The situation gradually became tense, and a conflict seemed imminent. Fight.
Liu Dahai quickly grabbed his son and whispered, "Kang'er, calm down! They're just trying to provoke you and make you make a mistake. Today is your big day, and we can't let them ruin it." Liu Jiakang listened to his father's words and gradually calmed down. He realized his father was right. If he acted impulsively, it would only make things worse.
Seeing that Liu Jiakang did not attack again, Chen Erhe thought he was afraid, and said even more proudly: "What do you think? Liu Jiakang, are you afraid? You dare not touch me?" His words were full of provocation and contempt.
A hint of coldness flashed in Liu Jiakang's eyes. He looked at Chen Erhe coldly and said, "Chen Erhe, don't be too proud. One day, I will make you regret everything you did today." His words were full of confidence and determination, as if he had seen hope for the future.
After hearing what Liu Jiakang said, Chen Erhe burst into laughter: "Haha, Liu Jiakang, you are so shameless! Who do you think you are? You still want me to regret it? You can't do it in this life!" His laughter echoed in the air, making people feel extremely harsh.
Liu Jiakang ignored Chen Erhe and returned to the courtyard. He knew that reasoning with these people was useless. Only through his own efforts could he truly change the status quo. He believed that as long as he persisted, one day he would make those who once looked down on him look at him with new eyes.
The Liu family didn't care about the quarrel here. They often heard such sarcasm. They couldn't control other people's mouths. They had to live their own lives. As long as they and their family knew that they were living a good life, it was enough.
Back then, they did use their public money to buy land and build houses, but every household had valuables hidden underground, either gold or jewelry. In the era of crackdowns on landlords, they would never have taken them out even if they had died of poverty, that would have been courting death!
Although times have changed, and some families have considered using the item to improve their lives, the elderly are nostalgic, and with more and more people leaving the village and finding more ways to make money, many people keep it a secret from their younger generations. After all, they've lived without it for decades, so it's nice to leave it as a family heirloom to future generations.
Moreover, the Liu family has many educated people. As the saying goes, books are full of beautiful women and golden houses! Even if only one person from the family left the village, the family would surely be well-off. It's just that business was illegal in those years, so they didn't show off their wealth. Besides, there's nothing wrong with marrying and having children late. For example, their parents got married too young and had many children. Many of their uncles are several years younger than themselves! Now with the 1,000 yuan given by Liu Chengmin, they don't have to hide their money anymore.
As for those who came to see the bride off, they were speechless. If a family with ten meat dishes and forty tables at a wedding banquet was poor, then how rich must the other villages be? They had indeed been deceived before. The so-called poverty was clearly a rich peasant! This also led to many girls going back and insisting on marrying back to the countryside, making people think they were possessed by evil spirits.
At this moment, a car came speeding over. Liu Yanran and Gu Shijing came out after hearing the car horn. They were speechless when they saw the two groups confronting each other. Then the person in the driver's seat got out and took out a lot of gifts from the trunk.
"Niece Yanran, I heard that you are holding your wedding ceremony here today. I am not too late, am I?" It turned out to be Fang Ling's uncle. He had seen her before because of the incident of catching a spy, so he knew her name.
"Uncle Ma, what brings you here?"
"Haha, haven't I missed you? I heard that you are going to hold a wedding ceremony again, so of course I have to join in the fun!" Director Ma said with a smile.
"Uncle Ma, you are so polite to bring so many things."
"This is what I should do. You helped us a lot last time. Today is your wedding day after all, so I naturally cannot come empty-handed. By the way, who is this?" Director Ma looked at Gu Shijing and asked.
"Oh, Uncle Ma, this is my husband, Gu Shijing."
"So that's how it is. He's really a handsome man! Niece Yanran, you are so lucky." Director Ma praised.
"Thank you Uncle Ma for the compliment." Gu Shijing responded politely.
At this moment, Liu Yanran suddenly remembered something and said, "Uncle Ma, today is the wedding of one of my brothers from my family. Gu Shijing and I had our wedding in Beijing, so I wanted to have some fun together today."
"Oh, that's great! When I came here, I was worried about whether I would disturb you. Since that's the case, I'd like to share in your good luck." Director Ma said with a smile.
"Uncle Ma, we are so happy that you can come!"
"That's good, that's good. By the way, niece Yanran, I have something else to tell you this time." Director Ma said mysteriously.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"The spy you helped us catch last time, after investigation, we found out that there was a huge spy organization hidden behind him. Thanks to the clues you provided, we were able to follow the clues and catch this spy organization in one fell swoop. Now, I have been promoted to director." Director Ma said gratefully.
