A loud military song rang out outside. Old Lady Xia held Chen Xianghong's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red, and her voice a little hoarse, "Xianghong, my daughter must be happy."
Chen Xianghong's nose felt sore and he nodded heavily.
Everyone watched as Yu Hongzhen came in happily, handed tea to Old Lady Xia, and then the two of them left in a car.
Old Mrs. Xia looked in the direction they left. Her sister Xia Yu'e patted her shoulder and she looked away.
"Let's go, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat." Old Mrs. Xia smiled and invited everyone to go out.
An extra table was added to the wedding banquet last night. I originally thought that most people would eat at Old Chen's place, but who knew that he was so disappointing and his house was in a mess.
Fortunately, Chen Xiangnan knew someone and arranged a table for us temporarily, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.
The gift money that Xu Meiyu and the others originally gave to Old Chen was naturally also given to Old Lady Xia.
Everyone at the table was quite harmonious. Even Chen Weijun's family was very tactful and didn't say anything inappropriate.
Chen Weijun was bitter. He wanted to speak up, but his words were originally meant for his eldest brother, Chen Weiguo. It didn't matter if he said something wrong or threw a tantrum in front of his eldest brother, because they were brothers after all. But he couldn't throw a tantrum on his ex-sister-in-law. After all, she was his ex-sister-in-law, so no matter what he said, he would be shameless.
Although he was such a person, that was limited to his own family. In his mind, after the divorce of his eldest brother, Mrs. Xia was just an acquaintance, no different from a neighbor or colleague. So, who would go to a neighbor or colleague to make a scene?
Moreover, Chen Xianghong's target was not someone to be trifled with. Just by looking at the car that came out of the army and the people in military uniforms in the car, he felt that his temper had become much more honest, so how could he dare to do anything rash?
He also wanted to continue clinging to Xu Meiyu and beg her to give him a job. However, he heard from his third brother Chen Weimin that Xu Meiyu had been very cruel in her mother's family recently and even fought with her eldest brother for the family property.
It's fine for a little girl to live in her parents' home with her husband and children, but now she is actually starting to covet the family property. Isn't this treasonous?
But Chen Weimin said that she was about to succeed, and her father-in-law from her mother's family had just relented a few days ago.
This is terrifying. What on earth did she do to make the old man agree to let her officially access the resources and connections behind him?
Even Chen Weijun knew that the most valuable thing in the Xu family was not the money or big items, but the connections that the old man had built up over the years.
This woman is not someone to be trifled with.
Chen Weijun thought about it all night, but still didn't dare to act rashly. If he angered someone, he would suffer even greater losses.
But facing a table full of people, Chen Weijun felt really uncomfortable if he didn't get some benefits for himself.
He poked Chen Xiangbei, who was sitting at another table with his back to him.
Chen Xiangbei turned back in confusion, "Second Uncle, what do you want to do?"
Chen Weijun glanced at Old Lady Xia and Xu Meiyu, and when he found that neither of them noticed him, he dared to whisper, "Xiangbei, Second Uncle has been good to you, right? You have to help him."
Chen Xiangbei tried hard to swallow the meat he was chewing. "How can I, an unemployed person, help you, Second Uncle? You've got the wrong person. You should look for my mom. My mom is very capable. She's the director of the Women's Affairs Office."
Chen Weijun shook his head slightly. "That won't work. She'll criticize me then. Xiangbei, Second Uncle knows you're a capable person. I heard you're a matchmaker everywhere. Please help Second Uncle find out who has a job and find one for your cousin."
Chen Xiangbei didn't want to say anything. It was the same thing again.
Ever since Song Xinhe got married last year, his second uncle has been fighting with them to death over this matter, and now he is even planning to target himself.
And he got one for him. How dare someone who has no money get a job for free? Chen Xiangbei is not as foolish as his father. He will never help others just because they ask him for help.
If other people came to him, the deposit was half, but if his second uncle came to him, the deposit was the full amount. It was impossible for him to trust his second uncle.
So, Chen Xiangbei held up ten fingers and said, "Second Uncle, give me this amount now and I'll help you find out. If you can't find it, I'll return the money to you in full. If you do find it, I'll give the money directly to the person."
Chen Weijun's face darkened. "Xiangbei, how can you be so clear about your relationship with your Second Uncle? How can your Second Uncle still blame you?"
Chen Xiangbei: "Don't even mention you're my second uncle. Even if you're my dad, you still have to pay first. I haven't even collected your referral fee. I'm already treating you like my second uncle. My dad doesn't even get this treatment."
Although Old Chen has never asked Chen Xiangbei to do anything, it is still very useful to use him as a shield at this time.
Chen Weijun couldn't come up with the money, and he had no way to compare his feelings for Chen Xiangbei with Old Chen, so he could only turn his head away and ignore his nephew who was always talking about money.
Chen Xiangbei smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that his second uncle had no money, and even if he had money, he probably wouldn't be willing to spend it.
At Old Lady Xia's table, Qiao's mother was worried. She looked at Old Lady Xia pitifully and said, "Sister Xia, you have to keep an eye on the two useless people in our family, especially Qiao Shan. He's already this old, and his wife can't even tell him. He's so dumb with his mouth."
Old Lady Xia: "Qiao Shan is such a good man, this shouldn't happen."
Qiao's mother was furious when she talked about this. "The other day, I asked someone to find a girl for him to meet. She was very pretty with a round face. But this guy is such a hopeless case. He actually asked the girl if she wanted to watch him do carpentry."
At this point, Qiao's mother thought of the good girl's eyes, from shyness to confusion, and finally she opened her mouth and asked in a low voice what he meant.
Then the guy took out a big saw and started sawing the damn wood, ignoring the girl.
In the end, he went back with a dark face.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xia fell silent.
After hearing this, the others at the table fell silent.
After trying to hold it back, Old Lady Xia couldn't help but asked, "Qiao Shan, what do you think?"
Qiao Shan muttered, "I just felt that chatting with the two of us was quite uncomfortable. When I felt uncomfortable, I wanted to find something to do. It just so happened that my master hadn't finished a job, so I wanted to talk to someone while I was working. As a result, I forgot about her while sawing..."
When Qiao Shan said the last few words, his voice was almost inaudible. As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with several angry slaps from Qiao's mother.
"Sister Xia, you can't not help me. Qiao Shan is your apprentice, right? He's not some cripple or lazy guy. He can make money, he's hardworking, honest, and has a good heart. Please help him. I don't want you to find him a wife, but just teach him to speak a little. It would be best if he could be like Xiangbei."
Chen Xiangbei, who was busy eating, was suddenly called upon. He looked up and asked, "What?"
Old Lady Xia: "It's okay, eat yours."
