“Wenya wrote to Chen Meili, asking Chen Meili to be her bridesmaid, and also told us to come to her wedding when we had time, so we came,” Zhou Chunyan answered readily.
“Yes.” Wu Xiufang nodded.
"Who is Chen Meili?" Xu Qingning was completely confused.
Yang Yuelan was also completely baffled.
“Hey, Wenya went to the countryside a while ago!” Zhou Chunyan’s mind finally caught up. “She’s from the same village and production team as us, otherwise why would she have invited us to her wedding?”
"I see." Xu Qingning suddenly realized. She only knew that Tang Wenya had gone to the countryside, but she didn't know that Tang Wenya was in the same production team as Wu Xiufang and Zhou Chunyan.
The question is, even within the same production team, how did their relationship become so good in just a few days?
So good that her two sisters-in-law took leave to attend Tang Wenya's wedding?
No, Zhou Chunyan just said that Tang Wenya wrote a letter to Chen Meili, mentioning in the letter that they should come, and that's why they came.
Clearly, this was just a polite remark.
"Perhaps, they just said it casually..." Yang Yuelan also felt something was wrong and advised them, "If we're not going, you shouldn't go either."
If Tang Wenya and Xu Qingning get along well, everything will be fine.
The problem now is that Xu Qingning isn't attending Tang Wenya's wedding, so what's the point of her and her sister-in-law going?
"Sister-in-law, I also think she was just being polite and didn't really want to invite you to her wedding," Xu Qingning said, sharing her opinion.
If Tang Wenya truly wanted to invite them, she would have written a letter directly to them instead of having Chen Meili deliver the message.
Anyway, if it were her, and someone told her to come to the wedding when she had time, she definitely wouldn't come; it would be too insincere.
"Mom, we're already here..." Zhou Chunyan was unhappy when she heard this. "How were we supposed to know you weren't going? We thought that my third sister-in-law and Tang Wenya were sisters and that she would definitely attend her sister's wedding, so we came to invite you to come and have a wedding banquet together."
When Zhao Jingyu and Xu Qingning held their wedding banquet, Tang Wenya also attended.
I even ate at the same table with them.
“Yes, third sister-in-law, how can you not go to your sister’s wedding?” Wu Xiufang was very puzzled. “If you don’t go, people will gossip.”
"Whether I go or not is my business, and what others say is their business. What does it have to do with you? If you want to go, go. Don't drag me into it." Xu Qingning's face turned cold as she turned and went back to her room, slamming the door shut.
It's their business whether they want to befriend Tang Wenya.
She would absolutely not stop them.
Anyway, you only know the pain of hitting a wall when you hit it yourself.
“Mom, look at her temper…” Wu Xiufang’s mood suddenly soured. “Does that mean if she doesn’t go, we can’t go?”
“Exactly! If it weren’t for her relationship with Tang Wenya, we might not have come!” Zhou Chunyan also felt that Xu Qingning had gone too far, rolling her eyes and saying, “We were being kind but were completely ungrateful.”
“Xiufang, Chunyan, I also think Wenya was just being polite and didn’t really invite you.” Yang Yuelan naturally sided with Xu Qingning. She looked at her two daughters-in-law’s bags and continued to persuade them, “Wedding gifts are all recorded in the accounts. You’ve been married for many years, so they can’t reciprocate. Just consider today as a visit to me and don’t go.”
"Mom, we can't interfere in my sister-in-law's affairs, and you shouldn't interfere in ours either." Zhou Chunyan was an impatient person, and she pulled Wu Xiufang out.
Wu Xiufang hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, took the child, and followed Zhou Chunyan out the door.
On the way, Wu Xiufang asked Zhou Chunyan in a low voice, "What do you think we should do if Tang Wenya was just saying it casually?"
"Is such a big deal as marriage something you can just say casually?" Zhou Chunyan felt that Tang Wenya wouldn't say something so casually. "Don't forget, everyone in the production team knows we're here for Tang Wenya's wedding, and they even asked us to bring them some wedding candy. We're already here, what kind of people would we be if we didn't go?"
Wu Xiufang fell silent.
As they were talking, the two sisters-in-law arrived at Xiao Tingshen's house.
The courtyard was filled with tables and chairs, and guests were taking their seats one after another. A large pot that had been set up temporarily was steaming and emitting an enticing aroma.
The children ran around, laughing and playing, creating a lively scene.
Liu Yuzhen and Xiao Yaodong did not know Wu Xiufang and Zhou Chunyan, but since they were all guests, the couple warmly welcomed them in and gave the two children some wedding candy.
Jiang Yumei had just arrived and was sitting on the edge of the bed having a private conversation with Tang Wenya. When the mother and daughter saw Wu Xiufang and Zhou Chunyan, they were both stunned. What were they doing here?
Chen Meili reacted quickly, smiling broadly as she pulled up chairs for the two women: "You two sisters-in-law have arrived, please have a seat."
The two sisters-in-law sat down and began to look around the new room.
Everyone says Tang Wenya married into a cadre family, but she looks ordinary, and her room is similar to Xu Qingning's.
"I'm so happy that my two sisters-in-law could come." Tang Wenya smiled at her two sisters-in-law, but she was actually quite annoyed. She hadn't planned to invite them; she had just casually mentioned it and told them to come when they had time.
Normal people wouldn't come.
Unfortunately, neither of them are normal people.
Seeing Jiang Yumei looking at the two of them suspiciously, Tang Wenya explained, "Mom, when I was in the countryside, Qingning's two sisters-in-law were very nice to me."
When Zhao Jingyu and Xu Qingning held their wedding banquet, Jiang Yumei didn't pay much attention to them, only feeling that they looked somewhat familiar.
Hearing Tang Wenya say that they were Xu Qingning's sisters-in-law, Jiang Yumei was speechless. Her face darkened, but she forced a smile and said, "Thank you for helping Wenya. You are such good people."
Originally, she didn't want to pay any attention to them.
But today is her daughter's wedding, and they've come all this way, so she can't very well give them a hard time.
“Wenya is my third brother’s sister-in-law’s older sister, so it’s our duty.” Seeing that Tang Wenya wasn’t as enthusiastic as she had imagined, Wu Xiufang understood the situation and quickly tried to make amends, “We heard from Meili that Wenya invited us to the wedding, and we were very happy, so we took leave and came.”
Whether Tang Wenya's intentions were genuine or not, it didn't matter.
Anyway, they came by invitation and brought gifts.
The two sisters-in-law received the same congratulatory gift.
Two bed sheets of different colors cost less than two yuan.
"It's good that you're here." Tang Wenya smiled and asked Chen Meili to take them out to eat.
Xu Qingning's absence was within her expectations.
It was unexpected that Wu Xiufang and Zhou Chunyan would attend her wedding, and it felt strange to her.
Chen Meili arranged for Wu Xiufang, Zhou Chunyan, and the two children to sit at the very back table, with Wang Yaqiang and Liu Dawei.
There weren't enough seats for everyone, so Xiao Tingshen had two more chairs added before everyone could finally sit down.
Jiang Yumei was also invited to sit at the main table, leaving only Tang Wenya and Chen Meili in the new house. Chen Meili then complained to Tang Wenya, "I just said it casually, and they actually came. If I had known they were so stupid, I wouldn't have mentioned it."
“It’s not your fault, I was the one who mentioned them in the letter.” Tang Wenya said, then suddenly laughed, “Xu Qingning didn’t come, but her two sisters-in-law did. It’s Xu Qingning who’s embarrassed, not me.”
Just before the banquet was about to begin, Liu Yuzhen noticed that Yang Yuelan and Xu Qingning were not present, so she asked Jiang Yumei, "In-law, where is Wenya's younger sister?"
