His father said there was no money left.
But his brother gave the money for the wedding banquet to his eldest brother, and his father didn’t give it to him!
So after Shen Pengfei came back in the evening, Shen Tingyu actually went to Shen Pengfei to ask about this matter.
After Shen Pengfei heard this, he just looked up at him “Did your wife ask you to come, or?”
Shen Tingyu shook his head "No, I came here by myself."
"...That's right, I was thinking that Ruoruo and I are living alone now, and we need money..."
When Shen Tingyu said this, Shen Pengfei raised his hand to stop him from saying the rest.
Secretary Shen looked at his youngest son at this moment, and it would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.
"You're right. Your brother's was given to your brother, so yours should be given to you too."
"After all, you have formed a new family. You have your own considerations and ideas."
“But…” Shen Pengfei stared at his second son for a long time, then smiled and said, “You are my son, I still want to tell you what I should say.”
"Perhaps in your eyes, I, as a father, am biased. Perhaps you also think that I favor your eldest brother more..." Shen Pengfei paused for a moment before adding, "Perhaps. After all, it's difficult to treat everyone equally."
"But I still want to say that I'm not confused. Not so confused that I still distinguish between my two sons. I gave your eldest brother the money for the banquet that night. One reason is that he is steady, and the other is that your eldest sister-in-law is a good girl."
"I didn't give you yours, so I won't say anything critical. Even if I did, you wouldn't be happy, and you wouldn't listen to me if you weren't happy."
"So I only have one thing to say. Not giving it to you is a way for me, as your father, to leave you a way out for your future life."
"But since you asked for it, I can't refuse you."
"Lest you accuse me of being partial again."
Shen Pengfei said this with a smile, but Shen Tingyu smelled a bit of bitterness from his father's smile.
Seeing this bitterness, Shen Tingyu was somewhat panicked, and he quickly said, "I didn't say I had to ask for it now, otherwise you should take the money."
Shen Pengfei ignored him and asked Chen Ying to take the money.
Chen Ying sighed, took out the money and gave it to him, "Give it all to her, you..."
Shen Pengfei stopped her from talking further.
But he said to Shen Tingyu, "The amount of money you have must be different from your eldest brother's, because the number of people coming to the banquet is different, so don't come to me to compare the amount later."
"Take a look!"
When Shen Tingyu looked at the handbag, he realized that his father really didn't plan to keep his money for the banquet. Perhaps he just had some resentment towards Ruoruo and didn't give it to him immediately.
Shen Tingyu felt very embarrassed. He opened his handbag and said, "Why don't you and Mom keep half of it? This is a bit too much."
Shen Pengfei just smiled and said, “Your mother and I are going to bed.”
Shen Tingyu looked at her handbag, then at her parents, and could only leave the room embarrassedly.
After he left, Chen Ying asked, "Why give it all to him?"
"What if the two of us can't live together in the future..."
Shen Pengfei lit a cigarette, “People can’t teach people, but things can teach people once they are taught.”
"If you can't make it, just consider it a lesson for him!"
"Don't worry about it, just go to sleep!"
Shen Tingyu came back with a bag. Jiang Ruoruo saw it, but because he had been out for too long, his tone was not very good. "What did you do again?"
Shen Tingyu's grip on the bag loosened a little, and he lifted the bag up. "I went to my parents' place."
Jiang Ruoruo stared at the bag in his hand.
Shen Tingyu quickly said, "Dad gave me all the gift money for our banquet."
As he spoke, he opened the bag and showed it to Jiang Ruoruo.
It's full of money, at least a few hundred, I don't know how much more, I need to count it carefully.
Jiang Ruoruo was indeed in a much better mood.
"How many?" Jiang Ruoruo asked.
Shen Tingyu shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't counted yet!"
Jiang Ruoruo reached out and took it, and began to count.
As she was counting, Jiang Ruoruo remembered something and asked, "Did your eldest brother and his family take it away too?"
Shen Tingyu thought about it and shook his head, "I don't know, my dad makes the final decision on these matters."
Jiang Ruoruo curled her lips, but seeing so much money in front of her, she didn't say anything else.
Finally, the money was counted and there was a little over nine hundred.
Although it was still not as much as Gu Shuhe's dowry, but with more than 600 yuan in betrothal gifts, more than 600 yuan in dowry, plus more than 900 yuan, the life of the young couple could be said to be better than most people of this era, so Jiang Ruoruo was happy.
After putting the money away, Jiang Ruoruo said to Chen Tingyu, "We will save this money later, and we will definitely be able to live a good life in the future."
Shen Tingyu also smiled and nodded.
Then the two consummated their marriage that night.
The next day was the Lantern Festival, which was a very important festival for Chinese people, so Gu Shuhe asked Shen Tingci early in the morning, "Are we going to have dinner with our parents tonight?"
Shen Tingci said, "Let me ask!"
As he spoke, he began to put on his clothes. The scars on his shoulders were a mixture of new wounds and old wounds, fine and dense.
When he met Chen Ying in the yard, Shen Tingci asked her, "Shuhe said that it's the Lantern Festival tonight and wants you to come over for dinner."
Chen Ying paused and slapped her forehead. "My mind is so confused that I forgot everything. Today is the Lantern Festival. How about this? I'll cook a few more dishes in advance and we can eat together in the main hall."
"Yeah, that's fine!"
Chen Ying told Shen Pengfei about this again.
Shen Pengfei said, "Go and tell Ting Yu and ask him if he wants to go with you tonight."
"Yeah, okay, I'll go ask."
