It's amazing that Lü Shoujian came up with this idea—holding a wedding when there's no money?
Or is it the kind of method where you don't need to contribute anything and can just choose any date?
Lu Shoujian didn't care about Liang Zhongmei at all, not even a little bit. Otherwise, why would he do something like this? The day was so important, and it just happened to be an inauspicious one.
They even made her treat the entire factory to drinks. Does Liang Zhongmei have that much influence?
“We’re colleagues, so I think they’ll come if I invite them. Mom, you don’t need to worry about this; it’s my business.”
"Fine, I don't care. I'm not going to invite your friends and family. If you're so capable, go by yourself. You can leave now."
Mo Yan pointed to the front door and told her to get lost.
Liang Zhongmei felt wronged. She was about to get married, and her mother was still treating her like this. "Mom, I just don't understand why you're treating me like this. Is there something I haven't done well enough?"
You say you're doing this for my own good, does that mean you should side with me? Do you want me to be happy?
She just couldn't understand why they kept trying to stop her and Shoujian.
“Liang Zhongmei, everything you've done today is your own fault. When you wanted my help, I was your mother. When I spoke to you, you threatened to cut ties. Did you really think you could call the shots?”
Mo Yan threw Liang Zhongmei out directly.
In the afternoon, Liang Zhongmei's two aunts came over. The families hadn't had much contact before, only getting together for meals during holidays. This time, it was clear that Liang Zhongmei had asked them for help.
"Sister-in-law, it's not that we want to say anything, but your beautiful daughter is still my brother's daughter. You can't just ignore her, can you?"
She's getting married now, do you think we should also start making arrangements for this?
Children don't understand things and may say things that hurt your feelings, but don't take it too hard. After all, they are a piece of your own flesh and blood.
Mo Yan didn't know what Liang Zhongmei had said to her two aunts, but she knew without a doubt it wouldn't be anything nice.
Similarly, her two aunts wouldn't want to hear anything nice; they were all looking to see her make a fool of herself.
Relatives are always there with the mindset of "I hope you're doing well, but I don't want you to be doing better than me."
"His aunt, it's like this, you all know how hard it has been for me to raise two children all these years on my own. I've given them everything I could, but they still won't listen to me. I don't know what to do. I don't agree to her being with this man, but she absolutely refuses and insists on cutting ties with me."
Since that's the case, I'll grant her wish. As you all know, hosting a banquet involves social obligations. Since she's not my daughter, I certainly won't host a banquet. It's unreasonable for me to pay for it, and for them to pay for it while I have to repay the favor.
I'm putting my mind to this today: as aunts, how much money you want to give her is your business, but I won't be paying it back. Think it through carefully.
The two women hadn't expected Mo Yan to be so ruthless. They had only said it casually; they wouldn't actually pay for the meal or help with the dinner.
Just like Mo Yan said, whoever treats should return the favor. What if Liang Zhongmei takes the money and doesn't return the favor? They just came to see if the proud and arrogant Mo Yan would be so angry that she cried. They didn't expect that she would kick Da Mei out directly.
"Sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. We were unaware of the situation. We're sorry."
Then we definitely won't get involved in this matter anymore.
After saying that, they looked at Liang Zhongmei and said, "Damei, you know all those relatives. If you want to treat everyone, you should go by yourself. We definitely can't help you."
Liang Zhongmei panicked immediately, not understanding why her two aunts had changed so quickly. "Aunts, how could you do this? I am your own niece."
Seeing that Liang Zhongmei was still making trouble, the two of them decided not to pretend to be good aunts anymore.
"Alright, stop crying. Your mother is right. It's all about reciprocity. If you treat us to something in return, then we'll be the ones paying for it. Go treat us yourself. We're leaving."
In the end, Liang Zhongmei didn't manage to invite many people. She only had two aunts and two uncles, who were her closest relatives, so there was nothing she could do. Everyone else said they were too busy.
As for Liang Zhongzhi, he was away taking exams. When he returned and found out about this, he wanted to beat up that Lü Shoujian. To think he could marry Lü's sister like that—that's shameless!
Mo Yan still looked coldly at Yin Yilan, who was blocking his way.
"Lanzi, don't stop him. Let him go. That family is trying to get money. Let him beat them up and get them to sue him. That way, they can pay some medical expenses."
"But do you have the money to pay compensation? No, you'll end up in jail, and I'll publish a notice in the newspaper severing ties with you."
Liang Zhongzhi: "..."
Liang Zhongzhi quickly stopped. It wasn't that he didn't care about his sister, but he knew that if something happened, his mother wouldn't care about him. He wanted to cry... The transition from his precious darling to a worthless weed was too fast for him to handle.
"Mom, I'll go find Da Mei and talk to her."
Liang Zhongzhi went to find Liang Zhongmei to present his work. When Liang Zhongmei saw him, she thought he was there to deliver money. "Brother, are you going to give me money?"
“I don’t have any money. Your brother is just an unemployed bum with no money.”
Lanzi is the one who earns money in the family now; he and his daughter spend all the money Lanzi earns.
Of course, Liang Zhongzhi would also help with the handicrafts; if he didn't, he would get a beating.
"How could you not have money? My sister-in-law is doing handicrafts and also found a job at a restaurant, isn't she?"
"Huh?" Liang Zhongzhi didn't expect that although the girl hadn't gone home, she knew quite a lot. "You know quite a lot."
"Of course! I still care about you a lot. I really think your sister-in-law isn't good enough for you. She's just a country girl. You'll definitely be a college student someday, don't you think?"
Liang Zhongzhi's face immediately darkened. "What are you saying? Are you deliberately trying to harm me?"
He wouldn't dare think Lanzi was bad, unless he was out of his mind and wanted to get beaten up.
"I'm telling the truth."
"Come on, don't try to sow discord between my husband and me. Lanzi is a good person, very good to me, and very good to Mom. She's always been the one earning money to support the family, while I'm just a freeloader. I should be the one feeling ashamed!"
It has to be said that Liang Zhongzhi has an exceptionally strong will to survive these days.
Liang Zhongmei: "..."
“I’m here to tell you that man is no good. Don’t be with him. I really don’t approve of your marriage, but I will still attend. I might not give you a big red envelope.”
Liang Zhongmei: "..." Her brother is becoming more and more useless.
"So you're really going to abandon me?"
"I'm barely able to take care of myself, how can I help you? You're an adult now, so work hard on yourself and take responsibility for your own life."
