Chapter 387: People Can’t Teach
His father said there was no money left to share.
But his brother gave the money for the wedding banquet to his eldest brother, and his father didn’t give him any!
So after Shen Pengfei came back at night, 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 would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed when he looked at his youngest son.
"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 am more biased towards your eldest brother..." Shen Pengfei paused for a while before saying, "Perhaps. After all, it is not fair to treat everyone equally."
"But I still want to say that I am not confused. Not to the point 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 what I said if you weren't happy."
"So I only have one thing to say. Not giving it to you is a way for me, as a father, to leave a way out for your future life."
"But since you asked for it, I can't refuse to give it to 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 didn't let her continue.
But he said to Shen Tingyu, "Your money 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 at this!"
When Shen Tingyu looked at the handbag, he realized that his father was indeed not planning to keep his money for the banquet. Perhaps he just had some resentment towards Ruoruo and did not 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 in embarrassment.
After he left, Chen Ying asked, "Why give it all to him?"
"What if we 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 as 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 just 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 decisions on these matters.”
Jiang Ruoruo curled her lips, but looking at the huge amount of 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 this more than 900 yuan, the life of the young couple can be said to be better than most people of this era, and 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 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 that today is the Lantern Festival. How about this? I will 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 together tonight."
"Well, okay, I'll go ask."
Chen Ying quickly found Shen Tingyu who was brushing his teeth, and then asked him, "It's the Lantern Festival tonight, I'll cook, and we'll eat together in the main hall. Your dad asked me to ask you, are you two coming to eat together?"
Shen Tingyu nodded subconsciously, then rinsed his mouth and said, "Let me ask Ruoruo!"
Although Chen Ying sighed, she didn't say anything else.
She didn't have the energy to argue and make a fuss every day, "Go and ask, and then give me a reply."
Shen Tingyu went into the house and told Jiang Ruoruo that his parents wanted them to have dinner together in the evening on the Lantern Festival.
Jiang Ruoruo curled her lips, "Okay!"
"Where to eat?"
"Main room!"
Jiang Ruoruo pouted again, "Got it!"
When cooking in the evening, Chen Ying chose to cook in Gu Shuhe's kitchen. Although Jiang Ruoruo still pouted, she didn't say anything.
She curled her lips because she felt that Chen Ying still favored Gu Shuhe, otherwise she would use Gu Shuhe's kitchen instead of hers.
She didn't say anything because she didn't want Chen Ying to use her kitchen either.
If her kitchen is not in use, she pretends not to see it.
Unlike Gu Shuhe who still has to work.
Gu Shuhe helped Chen Ying prepare the reunion dinner on the table and then set the dishes and chopsticks.
Shen Tingyu called Jiang Ruoruo again, and she came to eat.
The evening meal was eaten in silence.
As if by tacit understanding, everyone ate in silence and rarely spoke.
But Shen Tingci picked up some food for Gu Shuhe several times.
Gu Shuhe looked at Shen Tingci shyly and whispered thank you.
Jiang Ruoruo also curled her lips as she looked at him, secretly cursing Gu Shuhe's shameless behavior.
Of course, she only dared to curse in her heart.
After finishing dinner and returning to the room, Gu Shuhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She supported herself with both hands, sat on the bed, and whispered, "I don't dare to talk much while eating. I'm really afraid that I will say something wrong."
Shen Tingci looked at her distressedly and lovingly, "What are you afraid of?"
"She doesn't dare to eat you."
"If she eats me, she definitely can't eat me, but if she gets upset and quarrels with me, how embarrassing would that be?"
