Mu Fan understood the meaning behind Lu's mother's words.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I'll go back to the military region overnight and arrive in a day and a night. I will definitely make sure Yunzhou carries on this gift."
Mu Fan came here to visit relatives. He and Lu Yunzhou are not only comrades-in-arms, but also brothers.
Helping him with this small favor is hardly worth mentioning.
"Thank you, comrade. This is for you." Qiao Wanyue magically produced two small bags. Mu Fan glanced at them and saw two rare pomelos, some apples, and bananas. They were from the same batch as Lu Yunzhou's.
He felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Lu Yunzhou's wife is a sensible person.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely deliver it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Mu Fan didn't dare to delay. He moved the things to the car. He was on a mission and was driving a military vehicle. After putting the things in the trunk, he said goodbye to Lu's mother and Qiao Wanyue and left.
"Wanyue, tomorrow is your wedding day. What will we do if that scoundrel doesn't come back?" Before receiving the call, Lu's mother still held onto hope, but now that he really can't come back, she's afraid that Qiao Wanyue will suffer.
Qiao Wanyue shook her head. "Auntie, since it's already arranged, if we cancel the engagement, it will only make us a laughing stock. Let's stick to the original plan. Yunzhou is a soldier, so it's understandable if something happens to him. As for those who mock or slander him, we'll report them to the police."
That wasn't what Lu's mother was worried about. "Wanyue, I'm worried that you, your sister, and your mother will be wronged..." Lu's mother hesitated, not wanting to speak ill of the Qiao family, and only said, "I'm afraid you'll be wronged."
Qiao Wanyue's eyes darted around. "Auntie, are you all ready for the happy occasion?"
Aunt Lu nodded.
"Then let's stick to the original plan. As for who will lose face, that's anyone's guess," Qiao Wanyue said with a smile.
The Qiao family has no money to give Qiao Shanshan a dowry. With Yang's mother's snobbish attitude, without a job or a dowry, who knows who might be embarrassed tomorrow?
"Auntie, if it's convenient, please prepare more tables and chairs at home, and cook more dishes," Qiao Wanyue instructed.
Lu's mother pursed her lips.
There seems to be something he can't say.
But in the end, all I could do was nod.
She couldn't let her daughter-in-law feel heartbroken.
Qiao Wanyue had other things to do, so after saying goodbye to Lu's mother, she went to the textile factory.
"Mom, why didn't you tell Wanyue about our family..." Brother Lu hesitated to speak.
Lu's mother sighed.
She had originally prepared eight tables to entertain the Lu family's brothers and sisters, as well as the villagers. They should give her some face when her son came back. But now that her son couldn't come back, the Yang family prepared a banquet for the whole village.
The dishes prepared by the Lu family are probably going to be eaten by no one.
She hardened her heart and said, "Boss, go and hire the best chef. Come with me to buy meat later. We'll make four big bowls tomorrow."
Boss Lu twitched his lips.
I hope his mother isn't driven mad with anger.
Apart from a few members of the Lu family, it's impossible for anyone from the village to come.
But he didn't say it out loud. He just followed his mother to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat, and then hired the best chef as his mother asked. If no one came, they would just eat at home.
Qiao Wanyue arrived at the entrance of the textile factory and vaguely saw a familiar figure lurking there suspiciously.
She raised an eyebrow and hid behind the big locust tree.
Zhou Wenwen was hiding furtively at the entrance of the family compound.
What is she doing here?
Qiao Wanyue suddenly slapped her forehead. Zhou Wenwen was here, so Yang Huaiyuan and Qiao Shanshan must be nearby. When Qiao Shanshan was in high school, her mother had already bought her a bicycle. Riding a bicycle was faster than taking an oxcart.
Yang Huaiyuan's aunt was a female worker in a textile factory.
