Chapter 397: Feast



Yang Niannian felt something was wrong as she listened, and almost couldn't help but slap Hu Qiaomei in the face.

"Just because you are willing to be touched by others doesn't mean they are willing too. The more you tolerate, the more you will encourage others. Many bad guys see that the bride dares not speak out, so they use the excuse of wedding pranks to do some obscene acts. I think the bride did nothing wrong, and these people should be beaten."

She believed that if it was Lu Shishen, he would have kicked the man out of the military compound by now and would not let him show off his power here.

Fortunately, all the men in the military family compound were in the army. Except for the old leader who came over, no one else came.

Otherwise, I would never tolerate cousin Zhang Junhao's behavior here.

Wang Fengjiao was even more rude, "You are so generous, I will take you there now and let them tease you."

Hu Qiaomei said shamelessly.

"You guys are such a jerk! I'm not saying anything to you, why are you so angry? I'm not the bride, and I'm not as pretty as her. Even if I go and make trouble for them, they may not be willing to make trouble for me!"

Yang Niannian laughed out of anger. It was a waste of time to reason with someone like Hu Qiaomei who had no idea what was going on.

I might as well just be a shrew and order them to leave.

"The feast is about to start. Hurry up and take the child to find a table to sit at! There are so many people here today. If you go too late, you won't be able to get a table."

It has to be said that Yang Niannian was very good at taking advantage of the situation. Her words directly hit Hu Qiaomei's weakness. Fearing that she would miss dinner, she pushed open the door, took Baodan out, and hurriedly grabbed a seat under a big tree.

Yang Niannian couldn't bear to look at it and said, "Captain Wang found his wife with his eyes closed, right?"

Wang Fengjiao said with some sympathy, "Captain Wang is in the army all year round, how can he have time to go home and find a wife? Most likely it was arranged by his family. He went back to meet her and thought she was pretty good, so he just made do with her. It's not just the soldiers, most other people in the countryside are like this too."

Although Hu Qiaomei is a bit tactless and unlikable, judging from her facial features, she was not ugly when she was young.

"Captain Wang is a good man, but there is nothing we can do about it when he married a wife like her," Yang Niannian said.

As the two were chatting, Zhang Yuting came into the yard from outside, "Niannian, Sister Wang, the feast is about to begin. Hurry up and bring the children to eat!"

She looked around and didn't see Yang Niannian and Wang Fengjiao, so she came over to call for help.

Wang Fengjiao responded and hurried to call the child out.

Yang Niannian asked with concern, "How is your mother?"

Zhang Yuting was very troubled. "She is lying in the room. My aunt is with her."

Then he said helplessly, "This is not the first time my cousin has behaved like this. He also made this mistake when my younger cousin got married. However, my younger cousin's wife is a soft-hearted person and dared not say anything."

Zhang Yuting was not at the scene. She was busy washing vegetables in the kitchen.

When she heard the noise, she ran into the new house. When she learned that her cousin had his old illness again, she got angry and wanted to drive him away. Unfortunately, her mother was unwilling to do so because of her face.

They said that if they drove their cousin away, it would be equivalent to severing ties with their aunt's family.

After all, it's because we attach too much importance to our maternal relatives.

This time when her brother got married, her aunt didn't come because of leg pain, but her eldest cousin came. If she had known this would happen, she would have rather not come.

Yang Niannian was stunned. "I really didn't realize that your mother usually looks so high and mighty that she's not easy to bully, but she's quite tolerant of her relatives from her mother's side."

Zhang Yuting smiled bitterly, "My mother is a face-conscious person. Her family thinks she married well and has an easy life, so they like to flatter her. It is precisely because of this that she feels that what happened today has made her lose face in her family."

No matter how bad Ding Lanying was, she was still Zhang Yuting's mother. Yang Niannian couldn't say anything. When she saw Wang Fengjiao calling out the children, she said.

"Let's go eat!"

Because they arrived late, most of the seats were occupied, with only Hu Qiaomie's table having an empty seat.

Hu Qiaozhen waved at them, "Sister Yang, Sister Wang, please sit here!"

Hu Qiaomei shouted, "Yes, yes, yes, come and sit down, the meal will be served soon."

Seeing that there were no other empty seats, Zhang Yuting could only say, "Niannian, Sister Wang, you guys take a seat first. The meal will be served soon. I'll go see if there's anything I can help you with."

Yang Niannian nodded, "Just go and do your thing!"

She walked over holding An An and Yue Yue's hands, and Wang Fengjiao also took Zhou Haiyang over.

The three brothers Zhou Qiqi had already found seats and sat down at a table across from them. When they saw them coming, they waved to them happily.

"Mom, Aunt Yang, we are here."

Wang Fengjiao felt relaxed when she wasn't sitting with the children. There were four sons in the family, and they kept calling each other "Mom" all day long, which gave her a headache.

She was afraid that the children would crowd over to find her, so she spoke quickly.

"Your place is full, we'll sit over here, you guys can eat there, don't move, just watch out."

As soon as I sat down, I heard Hu Qiaomei say to the two children.

"When the food comes, eat well and choose the meat. Don't be like rabbits that only eat grass."

I don’t know if she said this in front of Wang Fengjiao on purpose. Anyway, Wang Fengjiao was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Hu Qiaomei is a shameless person. She can fight with you until she is bleeding, but tomorrow she can go to your house and borrow oil, salt, sauce and vinegar as if nothing happened. Her face is thicker than a city wall.

Wang Fengjiao has become accustomed to it and is not surprised.

Yang Niannian set her sights on Hu Qiaozhen. It had only been a month, but Hu Qiaozhen's belly had grown bigger, and it looked like it was about to burst, with its belly hole bulging out.

"Have you been to the hospital for a checkup? Are they twins?"

Hu Qiaomei spoke up first, "What are you checking for? We'll know if it's twins after the baby is born. If we check now, we'll have to spend more money. We really don't have that much spare money. We might as well buy two pounds of meat to fill our stomachs. The baby will grow fatter."

Yang Niannian didn't want to pay attention to Hu Qiaomei and spoke directly to Hu Qiaozhen.

"Your body is yours. Whether you want to go to the hospital for a checkup to improve safety is up to you. Don't just listen to your sister. Eating an extra two pounds of meat won't make you gain much weight, but a checkup can reduce a lot of fertility risks."

She only spoke too much because she thought Hu Qiaozhen was a nice person.

Hu Qiaozhen's belly is so round that it looks like it's about to burst, which is scary.

After hearing what Yang Niannian said, Hu Qiaozhen felt a little uneasy and said hesitantly.

"I'll go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."

Hu Qiaomei glared at her younger sister and was about to give her a lecture, but she noticed that the food was being served. She no longer cared about her younger sister, so she picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and stretched her neck to wait for the food to be served.

In those days, banquets were not like those in the 21st century, with a large table of dishes. Instead, there were only three meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a bowl of soup on the table.

A big bowl of braised pork and a braised fish weighing more than a kilogram, as well as a dish of stir-fried pork with beans and vegetables, plus a tomato and egg soup.

There are ten steamed buns on a table, and the leftovers can be taken away.

This kind of food was considered a very good banquet in that era, and most villages did not have the conditions for it.
