It is still quite lively outside the yard. Although the neighbors in the yard are eating at home, the Cao family also has relatives and colleagues. Since today is the weekend, there are still quite a lot of people coming.
Many people were talking about the Cao family's banquet today while eating. They really didn't expect that the Cao family would make it so simple.
If the family conditions are really not good, you don't have to host a banquet. Nowadays, many families just get married and move in together. If you can, treat everyone to a piece of candy and a bowl of sugar water.
Nowadays, everyone’s living conditions are generally not good, so no one cares about anything.
But since you have already planned to host a banquet, there is really no need to do it in such a shameful way. You may think that you are looking down on your new daughter-in-law, but in the eyes of others, it is the Cao family that is doing things indecently.
Several colleagues from Cao Laosan's workshop were sitting together drinking, waiting for Cao Laosan to come out and toast them, but after a long time, he didn't show up.
One of them was called Wang Dazhong. He used chopsticks to pick out a piece of meat in the basin for a long time but didn't see a piece of meat. He was so angry that he slammed the chopsticks on the table, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He closed his eyes tightly out of habit, but when he tasted it carefully, he felt that the taste in his mouth was not right.
"Damn, is there wine in the fucking water? It has no taste at all."
The person next to him laughed when he heard it, and handed him one of the three steamed buns in his hand.
"Here, at least the steamed bread has to be eaten to make up for the cost. No matter how good the food and wine are, it's good enough to be full."
"Did Cao Feiyang get kicked in the head by a donkey? It's not like no one in the factory is introducing him to potential partners. What kind of woman is he looking for? She has a whole family of burdens, and he's not afraid that she'll strip the family of their wealth after marriage. But look at the banquet today, whoever comes from a well-off family will be willing to marry her."
Wang Dazhong has a bad temper and usually speaks directly about anything he doesn't like. Although his words are sometimes unpleasant, his friends around him all know his character. He may be foul-mouthed but very loyal, so no one cares.
The person next to him lowered his voice: "Stop talking, keep your voice down. It's someone's wedding day today, it's not nice to say these things."
Wang Dazhong didn't care. The more he was told not to speak, the more excited he became. He raised his voice as if he wanted to make it heard: "Why can't I speak? I'm telling the truth. What's wrong with saying that other people's daughters are not good and marrying a family of encumbrances is just a fool's errand."
When he shouted, people at the surrounding tables turned around and looked at him, and the whole yard became quiet.
After all, it's someone's wedding today. No matter what gossip it is, it's just something they say in private. Who would be so stupid as to say it in public at someone else's home?
The Cao family's house also fell silent. Dai Lan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family, sneered and said to Yang Qian, the second daughter-in-law, "Look, everyone thinks so, right? Only the third son is a bit crazy. We should find a chance to separate the family quickly. Otherwise, the third son's salary will go to support the Yue family in the future, and we will have to support them both."
When the first two daughters-in-law of the Cao family got married, the betrothal gifts were only 12 yuan. Unexpectedly, Cao Feiyang asked for 80 yuan to marry his wife. How could the first two daughters-in-law agree to this?
In the end, I don’t know how Cao Laosan convinced the two elders, but he finally gave the same amount of money to the families of the eldest and second sons, and the two sons of the Cao family stopped making trouble.
Otherwise, even brothers would fight. After all, sixty or seventy yuan is one or two months' salary for a person. Even sons would have opinions.
Yang Qian is not as confident as her sister-in-law. After all, Dai Lan has a formal job, but she is just a temporary worker in the street now, and she may not have a job one day.
Moreover, the two children of the eldest wife are grown up and do not need someone to look after them all the time, but the second wife has only one child, who is not even one year old yet and still has to rely on the mother-in-law to help take care of the child. If they split up now, they will have to rely on themselves for everything, and the eldest wife will definitely have it much easier.
Of course, Yang Qian couldn't directly refute Dai Lan's words, but...
"Sister-in-law, it would be better if we could split the family, but you also know that the old couple usually dote on the third child the most. Dad is still able to work and earns more than my eldest brother and my husband. Who do you think will be subsidized in the end, given the old couple's temperament?"
Originally, she wanted to say that even after retirement, she would still receive a pension, but she couldn't say it too clearly. She wasn't afraid that her teammates would be fools, but she was afraid that they would suddenly understand that some things didn't need to be said.
As expected, Dai Lan's face had turned pale. No wonder the old couple and the third brother had no reaction when she mentioned the separation of the family last time.
Although I didn't agree, according to my mother-in-law's usual temper, she would definitely be furious, but that time she only scolded her twice, which was very wrong.
Could it be that my parents-in-law also plan to divide the family property to subsidize the third son and his wife?
Dai Lan slapped the kang hard, feeling almost mad with rage. What kind of brain did this person have? Could it be that the whole family had been brainwashed by that woman Su Mo?
Dai Lan gritted her teeth and said, "No, we absolutely cannot split up the family. Even if we do, my parents-in-law can't be with the third brother and his wife."
Idiot! Yang Qian looked at a loss as to what to do, and she followed the eldest wife's instructions.
He glanced at Dai Lan with disdain behind her back. The bigger the commotion, the better. It would be best if the eldest family and the third family would fight directly.
Li Xiuying couldn't stand someone pointing at the Cao family's noses and scolding them. On the surface, they were scolding the third brother, but everyone in the Cao family was embarrassed as well.
He had never agreed to marry that woman in the first place, and now he was even more furious. He wanted to go out and curse her back, but was pulled back by his eldest son Cao Dajun.
"Mom, today is my third brother's wedding day. If you curse back now, won't it make us laugh? That would embarrass my third brother."
Li Xiuying was still angry. She glanced at the room of the third brother and his wife. The door was now closed, so she turned her head away and didn't want to take another look.
I don't believe that the two people inside didn't hear it. They can hold back their anger, so why is she so anxious?
Wang Dazhong originally just wanted to complain a few words, but once he started talking, he couldn't stop.
"Xiang Qian lives in the same compound, and he's looking for the daughter of a leader who's good-looking and family-oriented. It's better than the one who looks like a weakling, timid and can't be in public. He'll regret it."
I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much, but I can’t control my mouth.
But Li Xiuying had mixed a lot of water into the wine, and for a drunkard like Wang Dazhong, it was worse than drinking water.
Li Xiuying and others in the room remained calm, but Cao Feiyang, who was pretending to be a coward, was extremely angry.
He lowered his voice and cursed, "What does Wang Dazhong mean? He comes here to embarrass us on our wedding day, and he's still single, yet he has the nerve to criticize others. I think if anyone dares to introduce him to a date in the future, I'll have to ruin it."
No matter how much he cursed, Cao Laosan didn't have the courage to go out and curse back.
As the bride today, Su Mo was humiliated by the guests in such a shameless way. No one from her husband's family came forward, and she could only sit on the edge of the kang and wipe away her tears silently.
