Chapter 72 The Ye Family Spends a Lot of Money to Help Zhang Xiaoming Marry a Wife
Ye Lianlian finally got married on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. There were only a few tables of wedding banquets. The villagers thought it was unlucky, so few people went to congratulate her.
In addition, she was arrogant by nature, so few girls in the village gave her gifts.
Bai Yangfan naturally didn't go either. He had already fallen out with Ye Lianlian, so why should he go?
Unexpectedly, Ye Lianlian came running to her and called out, "Yang Fan! We are good friends. I'm getting married. Please come with me! Can you take me to my in-laws' house?"
If it were the original owner, he might have agreed happily.
Unfortunately, she was not the original owner, and she rejected it coldly: "That was in the past, it's all in the past. We are not so good now. I congratulate you on your marriage, but there is no need to give you a wedding gift. I remember when I got married, you didn't give me anything, just a mouth.
It just so happens that I don’t need to give you anything today, not even a mouth. Go back! I won’t go to see you off.”
Ye Lianlian's face was almost twisted with anger, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, Bai Yangfan was telling the truth. When she married Lu Jingheng, she really didn't give him anything, not even a handkerchief.
Why?
Because Bai Yangfan was easy to fool at that time.
Another thing is hatred. She hated Bai Yangfan so much. She instigated her to seduce Lu Jingheng just to ruin Bai Yangfan's reputation. Who would have thought that she would actually marry her brother Jingheng?
Who does she want to hate?
"Yang Fan! Look, we're best friends. You're getting married, and I don't have any money. It seems unreasonable to ask my parents for money as a gift. I'm in such a dilemma. What should I do?"
Bai Yangfan said generously: "No need to send me off, as long as you come."
On the day, she went there, but she really went with empty hands, without taking anything, not even a straw.
I originally thought that Bai Yangfan would not be able to marry Lu Jingheng because her reputation was ruined. How could such a proud man like Lu Jingheng marry her?
But unexpectedly, Bai Yangfan's grandmother was very capable and single-handedly made this marriage happen. Even though Lu Jingheng did not come to the wedding hall or show up at the wedding scene, the necessary procedures were still followed.
In the eyes of the people in Liujia Village, Bai Yangfan married Lu Jingheng.
Ye Lianlian was almost mad to death. How could he still give her a gift?
Today, Bai Yangfan used this matter to shut her up, and she had nothing to say. Although she didn't give any gifts when Bai Yangfan got married, she did drink the wedding wine.
It's not wrong to say that she just came with a mouth.
Bai Yangfan's meaning when she said she didn't want to bring her mouth with her was very clear, that is, she didn't want to attend her wedding.
Even if Ye Lianlian came to invite her in person, it would be useless because she just wouldn't go.
There was no other way, Ye Lianlian had to go back feeling aggrieved, but she was so angry that she was about to explode.
She swore that she would find a way to make Bai Yangfan's life miserable.
Zhang Xiaoming married Ye Lianlian. Only those who don't know the truth say so. Those who know the truth are the Ye family who spent a lot of money to marry their daughter off.
She had to marry him off. This was already her second man. If a third man came along, how could the Ye family hold their heads high? Even if Zhang Xiaoming didn't pay a penny, Secretary Ye would have to use his wealth to help him marry his daughter off.
As December arrives, the Spring Festival is just around the corner.
Lu Jingheng has been patrolling in the mountains recently, but the person he is waiting for has never shown up.
As the weather got colder, Bai Yangfan spent less time in the mountains. He usually stayed at home to take care of his younger brother and also worked hard to learn high school knowledge.
She had to learn math, physics and chemistry as quickly as possible. There was nothing to do in the winter, so it was a good time to read.
My younger brother Qihang has grown a lot taller and heavier, which should be the result of the change in his diet.
I would go to the county town every few days to buy some food, meat, etc. to feed my younger brother.
Ergouzi also ate a lot.
Er Gouzi is very smart now. He not only collects firewood for Bai Yangfan, but also collects firewood for his family. He will not eat delicious food alone, but will take it home and secretly share it with his three sisters.
Ever since Liu Chan snatched his dumplings last time, he had learned his lesson and would never let her see any good things again.
He felt that his mother was not a good person at all. She was incapable of getting him delicious food, and even when her elder sister gave her some, she would snatch it away. What kind of mother was she?
Is there a mother like her?
Knowing you were coming to snatch it, he wouldn’t even let you see it and ate it all himself.
Ergouzi's three sisters were also very grateful to Bai Yangfan. They felt that this elder sister was so kind to them. She gave them biscuits, candies, steamed buns, dumplings, broth, apples, oranges and so on from time to time.
These were all expensive foods, and only a few girls in the village could afford to eat them.
Er Gouzi warned his sisters like a little adult: "Eldest sister said that she gave us food because she hopes that we, Qihang, Liangliang, and Yingying will love each other.
She said we are a family and we should take care of each other when we have something good to eat and drink. We all ate what the eldest sister had given us, so we should remember to take care of our younger brother Qihang, as he is the youngest in the family.
Ergouzi's three sisters nodded frequently to show that they understood.
On the Chinese New Year's Day, Bai Yangfan fried some four-happiness meatballs and vegetarian meatballs, and asked Qihang to fill a large bowl for Ergouzi, telling him that it was for Chinese New Year's Day and that he could not eat it all with his sisters, but had to eat it with his parents.
Er Gouzi was very sensible. He went in with the bowl in his hand. When he saw Liu Chan, he shouted, "Mom! This is what my eldest sister sent me. You can't take the bowl back empty. Don't we have rice cakes at home? Fill it with four."
Liu Chan glanced at Er Gouzi, picked up a four-happiness meatball and stuffed it into her mouth, cursing as she ate, "You ungrateful person, when did you become so thoughtful? Just put two rice cakes in there. There aren't many in total. I gave them all to your big sister. What are we going to eat on the first morning of the new year?"
Making rice cakes is a custom in the south. It must be eaten on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, which means a good omen for prosperity in the new year.
No matter how poor the family is, it doesn’t matter if they don’t have anything else, rice cakes, tofu, fish and meat are must-haves.
Bai Yangfan had no idea about this and didn't buy any rice cakes. He planned to make dumplings on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month because his younger brother liked them.
"I don't care." Er Gouzi saw that his mother was reluctant to give the rice cakes to Big Sister, so he took the bowl from her hand, poured the meatballs in the bowl into the basin beside him, walked over and took four rice cakes and stuffed them into the bowl, "Big Sister has given me a lot of delicious food in the past six months, but you are so stingy that you are reluctant to give her four rice cakes for the New Year.
How can Big Sister and Brother Qihang be full if they take two? Taking three is bad luck, so take four, and you will be rich all year round. If you don't like it, I will send the fried meatballs back and no one will eat them.
Liu Chan choked, her eyes turning white at Ergouzi's words.
These four-happiness meatballs are made of meat and are very expensive. Bai Yangfan seems to be generous with his spending. There is more meat and less vegetables in a bowl of meatballs.
Although four rice cakes seem like a lot, compared to the four-happiness meatballs that are made entirely of meat, they are really not enough.
Rice cakes are made of rice, how can they be as expensive as meat?
