Chapter 269: Still Entering the Door
When Gu Beizhi came back from Dong's house with a triumphant look on his face, he saw that the banquet had been completely destroyed, the guests were sitting there awkwardly, and his mother was so angry that she was patting her chest.
Gu Bei immediately knew that something was wrong, but he did not immediately care about his angry mother. Instead, he turned around to look at the expression of Shopkeeper Dong who came with the wedding procession.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Dong no longer had the smile on his face as when he met Dong Wan just now, Gu Bei's heart skipped a beat.
"Uncle Dong, I can explain. Someone must have disliked me and deliberately caused trouble."
However, Manager Dong refused to listen to his explanation. His expression became extremely grim and he spoke in a stern voice.
"Hmph, you'd better resolve this matter quickly, otherwise our Dong family won't be short of you as a son-in-law. Anyway, he hasn't even entered your Gu family yet. I'm going to take my daughter home now. At worst, our Dong family will support her for the rest of her life."
Gu Bei became even more flustered after hearing what Manager Dong said. He had finally met a beautiful woman whose family was rich and who was willing to marry him. He had to seize the opportunity.
But Gu Bei also knew that this matter was most likely caused by Li Yingdi. It was still unknown whether he could persuade Li Yingdi. If that didn't work, he could only use force.
"Dad, please don't make things difficult for Brother Gu. I believe he doesn't know about what happened today. Our two families should work together to get through this mess."
Dong Wan, who was sitting in the bridal sedan, also had a very unhappy expression on her face. She had not expected Gu Bei to be such a loser that he couldn't even handle a village woman.
But things have come to this point, and it is impossible to make her regret it now. She can only bite the bullet and do it. She can only pretend to be virtuous and persuade Manager Dong.
As expected, Gu Bei was deeply moved after hearing Dong Wan's words and immediately applied for the guarantee.
"Wanniang, don't worry, I will never let you down in this life."
Dong Wan just took this as a joke. A man's promise was just like that, so she just listened to it and let it go.
Gu Bei was very touched and took more vigorous steps when he entered the door.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Bei saw a crowd of Li family members sitting in front of the banquet he had carefully prepared and eating without restraint. He felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he was really about to be pissed off to death by these people.
Gu Bei immediately shouted:
"Li Yingdi, you spendthrift woman, what are you doing? Did I work so hard to build up my family fortune, only for you to squander it like this for your family?
Your mother's family is a bunch of tactless people. They didn't even get invited by the host family, but they ran to someone else's house to eat and drink as much as they wanted. How shameless."
When Li Yingdi heard this, she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about her family.
"Gu Bei, I think you are the shameless one. You married your young wife but didn't invite your first wife to be the host. Instead, you tried every possible way to hide it from me.
Who is to blame for what happened today? I'd like to ask all the villagers for their opinions."
Gu Bei was speechless for a moment, which gave Li Yingdi the opportunity. Li Yingdi took advantage of the opportunity and spoke.
"Besides, the Li family is my maternal family. Aren't my parents your elders? You are really disrespectful to them by saying this now."
When Zhang Dahua heard Li Yingdi scolding her son, her waist and legs stopped hurting. She jumped up from the ground and scolded:
"Well, Li Yingdi, I knew you had no good intentions in marrying my son. Just look at how much money you've given to the Li family over and over again since you married into our family. Come and see, folks. If you had a daughter-in-law like this who betrays her parents, would you have tolerated her until today?"
"That's true. If my daughter-in-law was like this, I would have kicked her out long ago."
"Who says it isn't?"
After Zhang Dahua finished speaking, the friends and family sitting at the table began to whisper. Li Yingdi also heard these words and her face immediately turned pale.
Li Yingdi also knew in her heart that no matter how much she argued, she had indeed secretly taken the Gu family's money and given it to the Li family over the years.
Li Yingdi did try to conceal these things, but her brothers in the Li family were clearly not the type to keep secrets. They boasted about it many times in the mountains and in the village, saying how good and capable the family their sister had married into was.
In addition, as soon as she got home, she would give things to Old Man Li and Old Lady Li, and then Old Lady Li would go to show off to the people she knew. In order to satisfy her own vanity, Li Yingdi never stopped her.
Therefore, it was almost a well-known secret that Li Yingdi always used the Gu family's things to support her parents' family.
Gu Bei saw that Li Yingdi was silent, and knew that he had found her weakness, so he said in a cold tone:
"Are you scared now? Do you know you were wrong? If you know you were wrong, then take the Li family away immediately and don't delay my good deeds."
Li Yingdi was a little unwilling and wanted to say something else.
But the Li family members who came with her were scared. If Li Yingdi was divorced by Gu Bei, it would only be Li Yingdi who would be unlucky, and her family would not be able to gain any advantage at all.
However, if the Gu family reports the fact that their married daughter always takes things from her husband's family to her parents' family, although the Gu family may not succeed, they will not be able to get away with it either.
With this thought in mind, Old Man Li winked at Old Lady Li. Old Lady Li immediately laughed awkwardly and said.
"Oh, you see, I'm old and my memory is not good. The son-in-law told us about this, but I forgot to tell my daughter. My dear daughter, go upstairs and drink this cup of tea offered by the new daughter-in-law. You can't still be the wife, right?"
Although everyone knew that this was just an excuse made up by Li Jia, at least there was an excuse, and the marriage could still be carried out.
The other people at the wedding banquet started chatting as if nothing had happened, and the lively atmosphere of the wedding banquet was restored.
Li Yingdi looked at her family in disbelief. It was fine if the Gu family treated her like this, but now the people who were treating her like this were her parents whom she had always been filial to and her family who cared about her. How could they treat her like this?
Li Yingdi was so heartbroken that she had no strength to resist. She was supported by her two sisters-in-law and sat inside the house, watching others finish the wedding banquet like a puppet.
Seeing that Li Yingdi had become obedient, Gu Bei's face was covered with a smile that seemed honest but was actually shrewd.
"Dear fellow villagers, we were not considerate enough in handling today's situation. We hope you can forgive us."
In this way, Dong Wan successfully married in.
