On the day of He Lü's wedding, a wedding procession of nearly a thousand people gathered at the He family home. The scene was like a parade, attracting many aunts and uncles to come and watch the excitement.
In an instant, the alleyway where the He family lived was completely blocked. Forget about picking up the bride, it was difficult to even get a basin of water.
But no matter how difficult it was, he still had to go pick up the bride, so He Zhipeng could only come out with cigarettes, alcohol, and red envelopes to plead for her!
After receiving the gifts, the Lü family's maternal uncles then led the groom to the bride's house in a grand procession.
Mother He almost couldn't catch her breath when she saw it.
"Welcoming the groom"? In her family, it's a wedding, not a marriage!
Thinking of those blabbermouths and fake maternal uncles, she couldn't bear the thought that the whole city would know the next day that the He family had married off their son to the Lü family.
The fact that He Zhipeng encountered something unpleasant as soon as he opened the door foreshadowed how miserable his day would be.
Meanwhile, Xie Ming at the group headquarters was surprised that Nan Xing and Xi Xing had both sent people to "join in the fun." After hearing what others had said, he even suspected that the petty thugs in Chuyang City had changed their ways.
But after they reconciled, He Zhipeng's family was practically in tears.
The bride was brought back, but she was blocked outside the street and couldn't get in. Her maternal uncles stood there, refusing to give her red envelopes or let her pass.
Looking at the endless line of uncles and aunts, the He family relatives felt like fainting.
What deep-seated hatred or grudge could this be?
The number of relatives who came to accompany them was 10 yuan each, which would amount to nearly 10,000 yuan.
Back then, 10,000 was a huge sum of money, especially in an era when the average wage was less than 500.
The He family didn't want to give it, but the visitor said they were the Lu family's maternal uncles.
Some people were dissatisfied and directly called the police.
The police arrived quickly, but the Lü family had already accepted those "relatives."
Lu Meina shrank back, not daring to speak. Before leaving home, her parents had told her not to make a fuss no matter what happened.
She knew her family had offended someone, and her father had gone to great lengths to suppress the matter. If she were to cause any more trouble, she was afraid that her family's shops would have to close down.
The bride's family has accepted her as a relative, leaving the police helpless.
These kinds of "wedding pranks" happen everywhere. Not to mention demanding money from the maternal uncle, some even demand money from the in-laws to sew several quilts with a hundred-yuan note! That's more than ten or twenty thousand yuan.
They couldn't get involved in this matter; they could only issue a few warnings and then leave.
Finally, the Lü family, suppressing their disgust, negotiated the price down to 5,800, and only then did the uncles finally quiet down.
Did they think that was the end of it? The nearly 100 extra tables at the lunch banquet drove the He family crazy.
Mrs. He immediately lost her temper and sat on the ground crying and wailing, but her uncles didn't care about the old lady's breakdown and went straight to the table to eat when there were empty seats.
By the time Mother He calmed down, the banquet had already been held twice.
He Zhipeng, who had watched the whole thing, closed his eyes and knew this would happen.
He had completely figured out Xie Ming's methods; that ruthless man wanted to make sure he had no peace that day.
Not only will they annoy the He family, but they will also suffer financial losses.
In those years, he rose through the ranks and made a fortune thanks to the Xie family, and they kept a clear record of it all.
Now that he has broken his promise, Xie Ming will make him spit out everything he has taken in, with interest, at the height of his success. If he can't spit it all out, he'll make him stand upside down and shake him a couple of times.
He now knew just how much Xie Ming hated him.
Seeing the people gathered at his door, He Zhipeng realized that the main event of the day was yet to come.
With a heavy heart and enduring the shame, he could only ask his father-in-law for help, asking to borrow tens of thousands of yuan to tide him over.
As expected, his guess was right. During the subsequent wedding night pranks, the group almost stole his underwear.
After seeing off the last group of "guests," He Zhipeng returned to his new house, utterly exhausted.
Lu Meina was still shaken by the thought of those "relatives" who might suddenly go berserk, and she sat exhausted in the new house without any joy of being a new bride.
Seeing who came in, she asked nervously, "Zhipeng, those people won't cause any more trouble, will they?"
"No more."
He Zhipeng spoke without any confidence whatsoever.
He didn't know if those things about Xie Ming had been exposed. He heard that the person who had stirred up trouble had gone to work in another city, and he couldn't get in touch with him no matter what.
After experiencing a day where money flew by, he was truly terrified. He used to think he had people under his thumb, but it turned out he was just being arrogant.
Lu Meina didn't notice anything unusual about her husband. Only when she heard that no one was coming to cause trouble did her anxious heart finally settle down.
She had no idea that her father had sacrificed her to the "Avengers".
"Zhipeng, you must have spent a lot of money today, right?"
Lu Meina looked at him guiltily. She felt really bad about her inaction before, but what could she do?
"Including the 30,000 you borrowed from your dad, almost 50,000 has been spent."
"50,000!"
Even though Lü Meina was short of money and was shocked by this huge sum of money, she didn't dwell on it too much, as long as the money wasn't from her own pocket.
But the He family is sure to have a tough time from now on. They'll have to keep the dowry savings book given to them by their parents hidden away!
With her mental burden lifted, she said, "If it can shut Xie Ming up, 50,000 yuan is fine! At least I can earn the money back!"
Lu Meina's words really infuriated He Zhipeng. So, she doesn't care if it's not her who pays for it?
This woman never even considered sharing hardships with me!
Can we only share wealth and prosperity?
He Zhipeng couldn't imagine what kind of person he had gone to such lengths to seduce.
He was already starting to regret choosing Lü Meina. When it came to loyalty, Xie Junlan was far superior to this woman.
Although he felt uncomfortable, He Zhipeng kept a straight face, thinking of his father-in-law's influence, and told his new wife to rest.
The stars and moon were sparse, but there was a reason for the bridal chamber's festivities. Similarly, Xie Junlan's side was also quite lively.
Everyone in the Dongxing Gang knew that Auntie had officially broken up with her boyfriend today, so they all sent congratulatory messages to wish her a speedy recovery from her heartbreak.
