Chapter 223 Heart Bleeding
She gritted her teeth and searched her pockets over and over again.
Finally, he pulled out three crumpled banknotes from the bottom of his trouser pocket.
My heart is bleeding.
This is such bad luck!
I originally wanted to take advantage of the other party and ask them to help me with something.
What's the result?
Not only did I not get it, but I also wasted three dollars!
Three dollars!
That was the money the whole family had saved for half a month by living frugally!
The two men walked out of Secretary Yuan's house covered in dust and dirt.
No one said a word on the way back to the village.
After a long time, Xie Guihua suddenly stopped.
"It's all Ruan Chuxia's fault. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have to spend this much money!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth in hatred, "One meal cost hundreds of yuan, enough for our family to eat for a month! She was so generous, inviting the whole village to a banquet, but she pushed my parents out!"
Ruan Dejun was also very angry.
"No, we can't let this go! Can't I control her anymore?"
His face flushed red and the veins on his forehead jumped.
He clenched his fists and said, "I carried her for ten months, raised her, paid for her education, and provided her with food and clothing. Now that she's grown up, she dares to deny her parents?"
"I just don't believe she's so cruel! I heard she's going to hold her wedding in the capital? Okay, then let's go there and make some noise."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was already questioning Ruan Chuxia in front of all the guests.
"Embarrass her! Humiliate her! I wonder if she'll still be able to pretend to be noble then!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Guihua immediately became unhappy.
"Old man, are you out of your mind? I just paid for the meal, and now you want me to pay for the trip? I don't have that much money for you to mess around with!"
She suddenly threw the cloth bag she was carrying to the ground.
His voice trembled with anger.
"You think our family isn't poor enough? You think I haven't been dragged down by you?"
That last meal almost wiped out all our family savings.
If we take more money for travel, this family will really have trouble making ends meet!
The rice jar is empty.
Only a thin layer remained in the salt jar.
Pots and pans were covered in dust in the corner.
The children’s tuition fees have not yet been collected.
There is no cotton-padded clothes for winter.
Every penny in the house is spent carefully.
But now, Ruan Dejun actually wants to run to the capital?
Ruan Dejun knew that his family was poor, but he still said, "I don't care! Even if I have to borrow money, I will go! We can't let her get away with it like this!"
There was a stubborn look in his eyes.
"If she dares not acknowledge me as her father, I will kneel at her doorstep and see if she has the nerve to kick me out!"
His intuition told him that Ruan Chuxia was serious this time.
She was really determined to cut off everything from the past.
He couldn't sit still when he thought that his daughter really didn't recognize him as her father.
"I've raised her for so many years in vain, and now you turn against her just like that?"
He refused to admit defeat, even if everyone told him he was wrong.
He turned around and was about to go to the village chief's house to borrow money.
He had already figured it out in his head.
First borrow two hundred, then ask Aunt San to borrow another hundred, and that’ll be enough for the trip.
At worst, you can just skip a meal on the way.
He would rather starve to death than let Ruan Chuxia live happily!
"no!"
Xie Guihua stopped him.
"What if that girl ignores us when we get to the capital? Wouldn't we have made a wasted trip and even lost money?"
She reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Are you crazy? If she ignores you, what can you do? You can't really make a scene at someone else's wedding, can you?"
Ruan Dejun snorted coldly.
"She dares to deny it? I'm not afraid of her! If she doesn't give it to me, I'll write a big-character poster and post everything she said about her parents, letting the whole capital know how unfilial she is!"
His eyes were as sharp as a knife and his tone was so fierce that it seemed like he wanted to bite.
"Isn't her current glory due to the support of those wealthy relatives? If I expose this to the public, I wonder how she will face people in the future! I wonder if her man will still marry her!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves.
He ignored Xie Guihua and just walked away.
Xie Guihua stamped her feet in anxiety.
I want to catch up and give him some more advice.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
She knew that she had no say in the matter.
It seems like she is the one in charge of the family at other times, but when it comes to big matters, Ruan Dejun has the final say.
She has the final say on all matters big and small at home.
But once you encounter a major event like this.
When Ruan Dejun walked to that station and his voice became deep, she dared not say anything more.
A man's decision is the one made by his own mind and will not tolerate interference from women's opinions.
She made up her mind and gave up!
Just go!
My heart also hardened.
Since you can't stop it, just don't try.
She still doesn't believe that she can't control that girl Ruan Chuxia!
Once you enter her Ruan family, you have to abide by her Ruan family rules.
Sooner or later, I will have to call her "Mom" properly.
…
The wedding was held half a month after the Spring Festival.
The New Year atmosphere has not completely dissipated.
In those days, most marriages were simple.
If someone holds a grand wedding, they will be accused of being extravagant and wasteful.
But this time, Ruan Chuxia's wedding was particularly trendy.
From the invitations to the process, from the venue to the costumes, everything breaks the routine and is eye-catching.
This kind of pomp.
Not to mention the capital of that era.
It is rare even in big coastal cities.
People were talking about it, some said it was "too Western and out of touch with reality", while others exclaimed "this girl is so blessed".
Were there any dedicated emcees back then?
So Ye Zhiyao took over.
He has been to university and is good at speaking.
Having worked in government agencies for a few years, he is a steady performer.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, his aura dominated the place.
Xiaojun will be the flower girl.
The little girl is only six years old and she jumps and skips as she walks.
Peng Chengxuan also called all his comrades and close brothers to come.
They were dressed in neat military green or casual clothes, lined up in neat rows, and looked very imposing.
Some people even came back from other places to show their support.
The scene suddenly became very grand.
Everyone knows that the Xiao family’s wedding is even grander than an inspection by superiors.
But the most eye-catching thing is the nine wedding cars, which symbolize "longevity".
All of them were green jeeps, polished to a shine.
As the convoy set out, the whole street was shaken.
The children ran after each other, and the old man leaned against the window to watch.
The number "nine" is pleasing, not too ostentatious, yet auspicious enough.
In fact, Xiao Zhenwu originally prepared 20 cars.
The result was rejected by Mr. Xiao in one sentence.
The old man sat on a rattan chair, smoking a pipe, and said calmly: "The Xiao family is too popular now. If they continue to be so ostentatious, they will get into trouble sooner or later. They must keep a low profile."
Xiao Zhenwu had no choice but to give up.
In the end, only nine cars were used.
It still attracted a crowd of people on the street to watch the excitement.
The banquet was scheduled to be held at the most luxurious hotel in the capital.
There were forty tables in total.
The three floors were filled with people.
Many people crowded at the door, waiting to see the bride get off the car.
Everyone was curious about what kind of girl she was.
I have heard a lot about Xiao Zhiyu's reputation.
They said he was aggressive and undisciplined, and even his superiors in the team couldn't do anything about him.
He can deal with Xiao Zhiyu, the devil who fears nothing.
Who is this person who can suppress him?
Xiao Zhiyu still wore his military uniform.
His back was straight, and the eyes beneath his hat were still as sharp as knives.
