Wang Meizhen smiled and shook her head, "I don't ask for the daughter of a high-ranking official. As long as the children are happy, I will be happy too." Her Jin Yue is much better than the daughter of that high-ranking official. She has a good temper, is well-educated, and knows medical skills. It is a blessing for her Yi Han to find Jin Yue.
The eldest aunt laughed dryly and said, "It's not easy to find a daughter of a high-ranking official. Besides, it's impossible for her to marry into this small mountain village. My sister-in-law's second brother's daughter married the mayor's son. The pomp and style are so enviable. She drives a car when she goes out now. I heard that her family has more than one car." These are what her sister-in-law said. Every time her sister-in-law talked about her second brother's daughter, her face was full of pride, as if her daughter had married a high-ranking official.
As he was speaking, he saw two cars driving towards him.
"Oh my! Who is this? So impressive!" Auntie looked at the slowly stopping car with envy. She wished she could take a ride in the car.
Wang Meizhen saw Lin Suwen and his wife pushing the door and getting out of the car, and greeted them with a smile.
Seeing this, the aunt and the woman beside her looked at each other and asked, "When did the Zhan family have such wealthy relatives?"
"He's probably a relative of the second son's wife in the Zhan family," the woman guessed.
"That's possible." The aunt looked at Su Jinyue and her group, her eyes rolling. She must find a chance to meet the Zhan family's wealthy relatives later. Her daughter Xiaoshuang hasn't found a partner yet, so maybe she can find a good match.
Lin Suwen took out a red envelope and handed it to Wang Meizhen, "Congratulations, dear relatives! It's just a small gift."
"It's good that you're here. Why give me a red envelope? We're family. There's no need for all these formalities." Wang Meizhen pushed the red envelope back.
"If you don't accept it, we'll go back." Lin Suwen smiled and stuffed the red envelope into Wang Meizhen's hand.
Wang Meizhen no longer refused and turned to Su Jinyue who was getting off the car and said, "Jinyue, take your parents and eldest brother inside to sit down. Yihan has already arranged seats for them."
"Okay, Aunt Zhan." Su Jinyue nodded with a smile and walked inside with Lin Suwen and the group.
The aunt waited until Su Jinyue and her group entered the house, walked to Wang Meizhen, and pointed at Su Jinyue and her group who had just walked in, "Dafeng's wife, who were those people just now?"
"She is my eldest son's girlfriend, along with her parents and brother." Wang Meizhen said with a smile.
"Isn't your boss's partner from your village?" the woman asked in surprise. She knew exactly where Shangxin Village was. How could such a wealthy person come from? Wang Meizhen must have been lying to her. Her boss's partner might be the daughter of a high-ranking official, and she was afraid others would know and curry favor, so she said that. Otherwise, how could he afford a car?
"Then your eldest son's partner's family is not ordinary either. They must be in business, right?" Auntie said flatteringly, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum. She hadn't expected that both the eldest and second sons of the Zhan family would find such good marriages. She had to curry favor with them, perhaps she could also benefit from their good fortune in the future.
"Your in-laws are so rich, the gift money must be quite a lot, right?" The woman looked at the red envelope in Wang Meizhen's hand with envy.
"Daughter-in-law Dafeng, why don't you open it and let us see it." The aunt stared at the red envelope in Wang Meizhen's hand, wishing she could take the red envelope and open it herself.
Wang Meizhen thought for a moment, then picked up the red envelope and opened it. She felt that the red envelope had some weight, and she was a little curious about how much Lin Su had asked them for the gift money.
When I opened the red envelope, I saw a thick stack of ten-yuan notes inside, at least twenty or thirty of them.
"So many big unity notes! It must be several hundred." Aunt's eyes lit up, and she wanted to reach out and grab the money and put it in her pocket.
"Having a rich daughter-in-law is so different. Even the gifts are so huge," the woman said, a hint of bitterness in her voice, her face gazing with envy at the money in Wang Meizhen's hand. They were only giving five or ten yuan as gifts, while she was giving hundreds. The disparity really made her feel unbalanced. No way! She had to let her son, Gangzi, find a daughter from a wealthy family.
As the guests took their seats, the banquet began and the dishes were served one by one.
As soon as the exquisite cold dishes were served, the gossipy women immediately took out their plastic bags and started to grab them. In the blink of an eye, only empty plates were left on the table. Although people's lives have improved since the reform and opening up, such delicious dishes are not usually available.
Lin Suwen and Bai Lina were stunned by the scene before them! Were those people here for the wedding banquet? Or were they here to grab some food?
Su Jinyue had long been accustomed to it. Seeing Lin Suwen and Bai Lina staring at their surroundings with wide eyes, she couldn't help laughing, "People in the small mountain village earn little money and seldom even buy pork. They can only have a good meal when someone's family holds a wedding banquet." Moreover, they felt that they would feel at a loss if they didn't eat the gifts they had given.
Lin Suwen and Bai Lina nodded in understanding. They had never experienced the hardship of being broke, so they naturally couldn't understand the pain of having to count even for food.
"Jinyue, is that you?" Lin Su asked, looking at Su Jinyue, feeling full of guilt. Jinyue must have rarely eaten meat.
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "Master would often buy meat to supplement my nutrition." No matter how difficult life was when she was a child, Master would never let her and Song Yiren suffer.
Lin Suwen looked at Xu Tiansheng with gratitude, "Brother Xu, I've been grateful to you all these years." If her daughter had been picked up by someone else, she would definitely not be as outstanding as she is now.
Xu Tiansheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's all over. Come, everyone, eat."
The aunt came over, took a look at the dishes on the table, and looked at Zhan Yihan with a smile, "Boss, I heard from your mother that your partner is also from Murakami."
As she spoke, she took a step forward and sat down next to Zhan Yeping, "Fourth girl, move over a little."
My aunt was fat to begin with, and Zhan Yeping was pushed onto Zhan Yilin who was standing next to her, and the chopsticks in her hand were squeezed to the ground.
Zhan Yeping was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt, it's too crowded here. There's no room for you to sit. You should go back to your place." She was already unhappy, and being squeezed by her aunt made her even angrier.
"Fourth girl, go sit with your auntie. She'll talk to your brother and the others." The auntie said with a smile, not caring at all. She came here with a purpose, so how could she just leave like that?
Zhan Yeping turned her head to look at the place where her aunt used to live. Seeing the empty plates on the table, she felt even more annoyed. "I'm not going!" Although she didn't like sitting with Su Jinyue and her family, she was also unwilling to compete with those gossips for food.
