Old Chentou grabbed Chen Weijun's neck from behind and forced him to walk towards Chen Mei's house.
"Brother, let me go."
After a few steps, they walked into Chen Mei's house. Old Chen said: "Look, your wife is going crazy. Don't tell me you are blind too."
Fang Rong had just had a quarrel with Chen Mei and Xu Meiyu. Chen Mei had some estrangement towards Xu Meiyu in her heart, but she did not show it on her face and still stood on the same side with Xu Meiyu.
Fang Rong felt distressed when she saw her husband being escorted here by her elder brother like a prisoner. She felt that her husband had been greatly wronged. "Brother, even your family is going to bully our guards?"
Old Chen: "What are you talking about? It's incoherent."
Fang Rong yelled, "Let go of my man!"
Old Chen hates being ordered around the most. Now, except for Old Lady Xia, whom he dares not hit and can be ordered around by her, what right do other relatives have to yell at her? He is the boss!
As soon as Fang Rong shouted this, the older Chen suddenly became rebellious, as if he had returned to adolescence. He said in a mean voice, "I won't let go. What can you do to me? I won't let go!"
As he spoke, he pressed Chen Weijun even harder.
Chen Weijun struggled in vain and was kicked several times by Old Chen. Finally he became obedient. After all, the eldest brother would not kill him. He would just wait until Fang Rong got the benefits and then he would talk.
He winked at Fang Rong, wanting her to continue their plan quickly, but Fang Rong did not understand what he meant. She thought he was very uncomfortable and wanted to rush forward to rescue Chen Weijun from Old Chen.
As she stood up, Chen Weimin stood in front of her to stop her. Old Mrs. Xia also stood up and walked to their side to stop Old Chen's childish behavior. She wanted him to let Chen Weijun go and let Chen Weijun talk about how to solve the problem himself.
But as soon as she walked up to them, Fang Rong suddenly pushed her away for some reason.
"Let go of Wei Jun, and I'll fight you."
When she rushed over, Old Chen kicked her out. Fang Rong was kicked down next to Xu Meiyu. She was stunned and hugged her legs again.
Old Chen felt a little guilty. He had become the kind of man who beat women. Others could misunderstand him, but Old Lady Xia couldn't. He was afraid, "Old lady, you know, I didn't mean it."
Old Lady Xia was also a little confused about the current situation. What on earth did the Second Brother and the others want to do? "Whatever."
"The groom is here, the groom is here to pick up the bride." The aunts outside the door shouted loudly, wanting to create a lively atmosphere and also to inform the people in the house to quickly solve the trouble.
Chen Mei panicked all of a sudden, "Second sister-in-law, what on earth do you want to do?"
Fang Rong thought, this is my chance. "I need a job. Whether Xu Meiyu helps me, Big Brother finds connections, or your Song Yuhe gives up his job, it's all fine. I need a job anyway. I want you to find a job for my Li Gang."
Xu Meiyu: "You're crazy! It's hard to find a job these days, and inside information might not be released for half a year. What's the point of asking us to make a promise now? We don't have one."
Chen Mei was really getting anxious. "Second sister-in-law, I'm kneeling down for you, okay? I'll pay for your Li Gang's job in the future. As soon as I hear the news, I'll definitely catch up with you first, and I don't want you to pay. Get up now, the groom is coming."
Fang Rong: "Then write it down in black and white, or I won't believe it!"
Chen Mei vaguely saw through the window covered with plastic paper that the groom had walked into the gate of the compound and would soon arrive at her house. She had to open the gate now, but how could she open the door in this situation?
She was determined to do it. "Hurry up, lock up my second sister-in-law in the back and go out through the back door. It's too late."
Several aunts immediately grabbed Fang Rong and tried to pull her off Xu Meiyu's legs, but Fang Rong held on tightly and couldn't pry her off even with her fingers.
Chen Mei panicked: "Pull my third brother's wife to the back as well."
Several hands began to push Xu Meiyu again.
Xu Meiyu yelled, "Chen Mei, I'm not causing trouble, and you actually want to lock me up too."
Chen Mei: "After Xinhe is taken away, I will apologize to you, Third Sister-in-law!"
Chen Weimin tried to stop them from pushing his wife, but was also pushed away. Some men even pushed his second son and his two sons away.
Now, the only people left in the living room were Old Chen's family, Chen Mei's maternal family. Chen Mei felt sad, wondering how things had turned out like this.
If I had known this last night, I would have let my second brother and his family go back home. Now, my second brother and his family will not attend the wedding, and my third brother and his wife have also been implicated.
Chen Mei calmed herself down, repeated it several times before she gave a sincere smile and opened the door of her house.
Everybody cheered up, said nice things, blocked the door, grabbed candies, and there were even children congratulating the newlyweds. They looked quite happy.
The groom Jin Chengye rushed to the door of Song Xinhe's house with a smile, and said a lot of nice things before he was allowed to go in to pick up the bride.
After playing for a while, the groom and several people from his side were kept by Chen Mei to drink longan, brown sugar and egg soup. They were allowed to leave only when it was almost time.
Song Xinhe had heard the farce in the living room in the morning and felt aggrieved. She always felt that nothing good would happen when she got married this time. She didn't want her marriage to start with a farce in her family, but she had no way to stop it.
She was very disappointed with her mother and brother. She felt that if her mother had spoken more kindly since yesterday and stopped being so contemptuous, the fight yesterday would have never happened. She also felt that if her brother had found a job two years later, Second Aunt wouldn't have been so upset today. After all, it was all their fault.
The groom arrived. Song Xinhe suppressed her emotions, offered tea, and got on Jin Chengye's bicycle. "Dad, Mom."
Chen Mei wiped her tears and said, "Be good and live a good life with Chengye."
Song Xinhe: “Yeah!”
Chen Mei sniffed and felt empty inside as she watched her eldest daughter, whom she had raised for many years, sit behind the man and leave.
The few people who were driven into the small room at the back kept screaming. Her son-in-law had just asked what the noise was, and she had barely managed to get through, but they were still screaming.
Not only Fang Rong, she also heard Xu Meiyu's screams.
Chen Mei could no longer maintain her smile. She used up her last bit of patience to let others sit down first, and they would have a simple meal at her mother's house, just enough for two tables, to let relatives and neighbors share in the good news, and to thank them for their help over the past few days.
Then she rushed to the small room at the back, and was stunned by the scene before her as soon as she opened the door.
The people who were locked up fought each other. The four people from the second brother's family fought against the third brother and his wife. Because they had more people, they won an overwhelming victory.
Why...are they fighting again?
