Chapter 37 My Wife, You Have Foresight
"You can rest assured to entrust Zhenyu to me. I will treat her well. Don't you trust me?"
My family has already given all the gifts, that's about it. When should we hold the wedding banquet? I want to marry Zhenyu as soon as possible.
Remembering Zhao Fengxiu's reminder, Liu Xiangqian continued, "What about the wedding banquet? Since your family is the groom's family, it will definitely be arranged by your family. Our two families don't live far apart."
Let's set it up together! Should we set it up at your place or mine?
Huang Zhijian said directly, "That's easy! Our family will just provide three tables! Anyway, we don't have much money, so it's enough for both families to have a meal together. There's no need for anything else."
If your family is willing and has the money, you can set up more tables! We don't have any objections; given the relationship between our two families, there's no need to be so fussy.
Huang Zhijian's arrogant words were so outrageous that even Old Lady Yang couldn't stand it anymore.
I knew he was a scoundrel before, so I let it go, but now that it concerns my granddaughter Liu Zhenyu's life-changing event, I can't be careless!
Grandma Yang said, "What do you mean 'don't worry about it'? No matter how good the relationship is, you still have to give! You know your family's situation, can't you give as much as you can?"
Didn't your mother say she would help you support yourself and find you a job? How come it's suddenly become that your family is very poor?
How should we understand this? Well, Zhenyu needs to live too! My granddaughter is too big to marry you and starve!
Grandma Yang's words made Liu Zhenyu think, and she stared at Huang Zhijian.
Receiving so many stares, Huang Zhijian gritted his teeth and said, "Money, money, money! All your family cares about is money! Is our relationship less important than money? What does it have to do with my own mother?"
Everything on this table, whether food or drink, was bought with money given to our family by my own mother. The wedding ceremony has already been held, so why would we need a bride price?
"Dad, are you listening to what your aunt is saying? She treats her own son like this, but I'll still take care of you in your old age! What are you worrying about?"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Who can guarantee these things? You can't just take empty words as truth. You haven't even met your own mother, so how do you know if your family has her?"
"Are you being so cautious? Could it be that there isn't one, or that it's a marriage scam?"
These words enraged Huang Zhijian. He slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and roared, "Who do you think you are? You're just an aunt, yet you're here gossiping and trying to ruin my relationship with Dad and Zhenyu!"
"If I can't marry Zhenyu, I'll never forgive your family!"
Before Zhao Fengxiu could speak, Liu Xiangqian swung a large fist at Huang Zhijian!
With a snap!
"Shut up! How dare you speak to your aunt like that? She's a guest in our home! How can you be so ill-mannered? Don't you know your place?"
We've always spoiled you, but what's wrong with you now? Can't you ever be serious? How can I entrust Zhenyu to you like this?
Liu Shiping was stunned. This Huang Zhijian was just like Huang Weifeng back then, that ridiculous scoundrel, who was neither serious nor reliable!
He only became friends with Huang Weifeng because of his third brother, but they weren't very close. His third brother was closer to Huang Weifeng.
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhijian panicked and hurriedly grabbed Liu Xiangqian, saying, "I was wrong, Dad. I was just drunk. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me! I will treat Zhenyu well, you believe me."
Liu Xiangqian shook him off and said coldly, "Then you have to prove it to us! When will you get a job? When will you be able to see your biological mother? How will we support you? Give us a straight answer about the dowry and everything! How can the wedding banquet only have three tables?"
Is this acceptable? If it really doesn't work, call your dad over. I want to talk to him myself! With our family's financial situation, we usually have a dozen or so tables. Three tables would be humiliating and a disgrace to us.
Go and make arrangements quickly! Otherwise, don't come to our house at all!
As dusk approached, Huang Zhijian knew he couldn't stay any longer. He could only nod repeatedly in agreement, "Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell my dad. Dad, you wait, I'll give you an answer then!"
Zhenyu can only marry me. I can't live without her. I really love her, and I will treat her well. You all have to believe me! You all enjoy your meal; I'm leaving now.
Huang Zhijian made his escape without stopping.
Looking at that retreating figure, Liu Xiangqian sighed.
His attitude and the way he changed his expression when admitting his mistake were exactly the same as Huang Weifeng's.
It's fine for him to be friends with Huang Weifeng, but he's genuinely afraid that Liu Zhenyu would marry someone like Huang Weifeng!
Liu Xiangqian quickly apologized to Liu Shiping and Zhao Fengxiu and treated them well.
After Zhao Fengxiu's guidance, they understood and realized how to discuss things clearly with the Huang family.
...
Finally, Liu Shiping rode his long pole with Zhao Fengxiu on the back on the way home.
He was overjoyed. "Wife, you handled this matter so well today. You neither offended anyone nor made it obvious, but rather conveyed it through words."
So many years have passed, I'd almost forgotten everything. How did you know Huang Weifeng's family was like that? I can't even imagine it."
Zhao Fengxiu said irritably, "Wasn't he like that back then? What can he do now? If he were successful, wouldn't his son have a decent job?"
I was just rambling, who knew he'd expose himself like that, he couldn't even pretend properly. He thinks too highly of himself, and your third brother too, he's been watching all these years, why is it only now that he's brought it up?
Isn't this a conscious act of self-destruction leading Liu Zhenyu into a fiery pit?
Liu Shiping said, "It's hard to say. After all, Xiangqian and Weifeng have such a good relationship. They've known each other for so many years, and their children grew up together as childhood sweethearts with a good relationship. So it's natural for them to become in-laws! They wouldn't be so embarrassed to bring it up, would they?"
With your guidance, Third Brother naturally followed the advice! In the end, it's all thanks to you, my wife. That Third Brother is really something else; he owes us something again. We'll have to make things clear with him next time!
"You actually had to bring this up yourself. If there's any threat to our family, I'll be the first to deal with them!"
Zhao Fengxiu reached out and pinched him again, "All you do is talk tough! Why didn't you deal with your third brother back then? I was the one who forced you to break off our friendship."
Liu Shiping admitted his mistake, "It was my fault. We shouldn't have gone out today, we shouldn't have gone to his house! Honey, from now on I'll listen to you in everything, I won't have any objections."
My third brother also owes us compensation; I must keep an eye on him this time! How much do you want? I'll get it for you!
Zhao Fengxiu said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If the Huang family keeps harassing them, what business is it of ours? We definitely need to deal with the Huang family's affairs first!"
Liu Shiping affirmed, "My dear wife, you have such foresight! The best decision I've ever made in my life was to be determined to spend my life with you, even if it meant cutting ties with my parents and brothers. After all, my wife is the one I'll spend my life with!"
Zhao Fengxiu chuckled, "Just ride your bike properly!"
