Chen Su hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside for a long time. How old was this deputy director of the food factory?
How could he possibly marry a young wife who was only eighteen or nineteen?
"The deputy director of the food factory? Yang Donghua, right? He's only in his early thirties, not even thirty-five. His last wife died in childbirth, which is why he's in such a hurry to find a new one."
“His family has a child who is less than six months old and needs to be taken care of, so Fu Guilan was able to marry into the family by chance.”
Chen Suwen raised an eyebrow.
Although the Wang family had a bit of a commotion because of the bride being changed, they eventually suppressed their anger and went ahead with the wedding.
Old Wang also came out to greet the guests with the bride. Although he had difficulty walking, he couldn't not show up on his wedding day.
No one in the Wang family had a smile on their face; everyone looked serious, and the guests were worried that they might end up overturning the table.
Fortunately, the wedding banquet went smoothly. Chen Suwen had no particular interest in the food and drinks and didn't enjoy the meal very much.
"I wish I hadn't come. The food today wasn't even that good."
The Wang family had already spent almost all their money on the high bride price they gave their daughter-in-law, so the food at the banquet wasn't very good.
Of course, each of these six tables today still has half a poached chicken.
The poached chicken was pretty good, but Chen Suwen wasn't very satisfied. She felt the chicken wasn't tender enough and the dipping sauce wasn't tasty enough.
Aside from the poached chicken, the other dishes were just average, and she didn't really like them.
"It's such a loss. We gave so many red envelopes, but we didn't even get our money's worth at the banquet," Ye Yulian complained.
"Who did the Wang family hire to cook this year?" Chen Suwen asked curiously. The chef's cooking was so bad that his reputation must be terrible. How could the Wang family have hired someone like that?
"Is the person in charge of cooking a relative of the Wang family?" Ye Yulian thought for a moment and finally remembered who was in charge of cooking.
"She's a relative of the Wang family, I think she's Wang Wenxing's sister-in-law?"
Chen Suwen pouted, "This cooking is really terrible."
"The poached chicken wasn't tender enough, and the dipping sauce wasn't flavorful enough. And the sweet potato leaves—not only were they not stir-fried with oil, but the cold sweet potato stem salad wasn't flavorful enough either."
Sweet potato leaves taste better when stir-fried with more oil. If there isn't enough oil, they won't taste good and sometimes they'll even taste like pig swill.
If you're making a cold dish, you don't need to worry about oil, but it's also harder to make it taste good.
"It's good enough to have meat to eat. You don't know that last time I went to XX's house for a banquet, there wasn't a single piece of meat."
"Is it that bad?"
Ye Yulian and Chen Suwen chatted about today's banquet, but didn't talk much about the bride.
The main problem was that we didn't get enough information in such a short time, so the conversation wasn't very enjoyable.
Once they've found out the specifics, they can continue gossiping.
The next day, Ye Yulian found Chen Suwen and told her about the incident of the Wang family's bride being replaced.
Fu Guilan, the bride who was originally supposed to marry Wang Laoxiao, had a clever plan: she got a job and a dowry from the Wang family, and then pushed her cousin to Wang Laoxiao.
She herself hooked up with the widower deputy factory director. Although she became a stepmother after marrying him, she had a job and her husband earned a high salary, so she didn't lose out.
In order to get the job promised by the Wang family, she had already coaxed them into completing her onboarding procedures before the marriage.
Even if the Wang family discovers that her family arranged for her cousin to marry into the Wang family in her place, they will be unable to take her job back.
