Chen Xiaoying was afraid that Li Hongli would cause trouble, so she asked Zhao Xueyan to call Li Hongli to the hotel early in the morning to watch over her.

Since I have already divorced Xu Xiaodong, I have drawn a clear line between us.

As a result, when Zhao Xueyan came back, she was only holding the child.

"Where is Li Hongli?" Chen Xiaoying frowned.

Zhao Xueyan also looked helpless: "I told her to come to the store, but halfway through, she said she was going to the bathroom and disappeared."

"What? The person is missing?" Chen Xiaoying was a little uneasy. The county town was developing very fast now, and more and more outsiders came to work in the local area.

I hope nothing happens to Li Hongli.

Zhao Xueyan saw her worry and said quickly, "Mom, I didn't see my second sister, but I saw my eldest sister. I saw a shadow from a distance, but I knew it was her."

Chen Xiaoying reacted and realized that Li Hongli was fine. She was just a teammate of her elder sister Li Hongyan. What did she want to do?

She was really going to be pissed off. Why did she have to keep quarreling with Xu Xiaodong?

That's a cesspool. If you throw stones into it, the dirty water won't splash out, but won't it stink up your nose?

"Mom, how about I go to the place where Xu Xiaodong is getting married to find them?" Zhao Xueyan asked anxiously.

Chen Xiaoying thought of her elder daughter Li Hongyan. She was very smart and Li Hongli would not suffer any loss.

"Forget it, you take care of the child." Chen Xiaoying looked at her chubby granddaughter, who was so adorable now. She smelled of milk and her little face felt chubby and soft.

"Grandma, give me a hug." She smiled and hugged the child.

After Li Yujie and Li Yumeng finished school, the two children also had dinner here before going back to their respective homes. When they saw the little sister, they treated her like a beautiful doll, rushing over to pinch one's hands and kissing another's cheeks.

Children are the cutest when they are young.

Li Hongyan and Li Hongli had already found out where Xu Xiaodong and Yu Xiaona would hold their wedding. Li Hongli had originally planned to hold the wedding banquet at the Kaiyuan Hotel, but this time, Yu Xiaona lost her temper again and Xu Xiaodong didn't have the money to hold the wedding there, so they held it in a two-story restaurant not far from Sister Xu.

They were all afraid of losing face. The Xu family had few relatives, and Ma Xiufen wanted to save money, so one table would be enough.

Yu Xiaona's parents were afraid of losing face, so even though they invited both sets of parents, that is, Yu Xiaona's grandparents, uncles, and others, it was a pity that there was only one representative from the family, and he didn't look happy, so they almost couldn't finish the whole table.

None of the restaurant owners had ever seen such a shabby wedding.

If you are only going to host two tables, you might as well just set up two tables at home.

The two families had a formal meeting, and Xu Xiaodong wanted to toast and get acquainted with the elders on Yu Xiaona's side.

Yu Xiaona's parents were able to gain a foothold in the city and have formal jobs because they had connections and helped their children to smooth out the relationships. Each generation should have been stronger than the previous one, but Yu Xiaona, through a marriage, found herself back to a life that was even poorer than when her grandparents were young.

At this time, there was still a big gap between the working class and the peasant class.

Workers at least have pensions and collective housing provided by their work units, and with the help of connections, they can also allow their children to take over and enjoy government support.

As for farmers, they have been working the land with sweat for generations, and their income year after year depends entirely on the will of God. It is already very difficult for a farmer to support a person who works as a formal employee in an enterprise.

Yu Xiaona definitely doesn’t understand this, and she doesn’t want to hear too much.

In the eyes of her grandparents, the Xu family is worse than farmers.

Farmers at least have land and won’t starve. Xu Xiaodong’s family is said to be from the city, but what does he have?

Except for that old house, it is said that it will be demolished in the future. However, the county town has been developing eastward so far, and the west has not moved at all. It is clear that there is no hope at all.

Without any land, Xu Xiaodong has to rely on working outside to earn money. What's more, he is not a decent person. Can he earn a salary through his own efforts with peace of mind?

Yu Xiaona's relatives all turned green in the face, and her grandfather took the glass of wine that Xu Xiaodong toasted and said directly.

"My waist hurts. I can't sit down. I'm going back first."

Yu Xiaona's father quickly stood up: "Dad, sit for a while."

"No, I won't sit here. When I woke up this morning, your mother still had a headache. I have to go back and take care of her," said his father.

As soon as these words were spoken, even Xu Xiaodong, who wanted to be polite and try to keep him, was speechless.

He has been in society for many years and knows how to read people's faces. It is obvious that Yu Xiaona's grandfather doesn't like him, so he doesn't even want to eat.

He felt uncomfortable.

The wedding here was so chilly, just like a heavy snow in the middle of winter.

Li Hongyan and Li Hongli, who were running over to watch the fun, saw it right at the hotel gate.

There were mainly two tables of people, and the restaurant could only find two adjacent tables on the second floor, which was fine.

In other places, there were guests coming to eat, so Li Hongyan and Li Hongli took advantage of the time when there were many guests and sneaked in. The restaurant owner and waiters didn't realize that they had bad intentions at all.

"I've never seen such a shabby wedding. It's so funny. Hongli, what else do you want to do?" Li Hongyan asked.

Li Hongli rolled her eyes at the shabby scene and thought for a while: "Forget it, even if there are fewer people, there are more than the two of us, let's go."

Yu Xiaona will never forget this kind of chilly wedding with two tables.

When Li Hongli was leaving, she saw Yu Xiaona holding back tears and almost crying.

Li Hongyan and Li Hongli went back and told Chen Xiaoying how shabby and embarrassing Xu Xiaodong and Yu Xiaona's wedding was.

Chen Xiaoying didn't want to hear that and stuffed the child into Li Hongli's arms: "Take good care of the child. Don't leave the child here for no reason in the future. I have to run a business. Your third sister-in-law is an employee here and gets paid by me. She's not here to take care of your child."

Seeing that her mother had no intention of paying any attention to Xu Xiaodong's fun, Li Hongli could only turn around and leave with her child in her arms.

Li Hongyan was about to leave, so Chen Xiaoying asked her, "Hongli said that when she is ready to find someone else in two years, she will give the child to you to raise?"

Li Hongyan nodded immediately and said to Chen Xiaoying as if to take credit: "Mom, yes, Hongli is still young, so we must find someone else. As for this little girl, if she goes to her stepfather's house, she will be eating other people's food. How can life be easy for a child living under someone else's roof? It's better for her to stay with me, your aunt. I don't have a daughter, so I treat Xiaoni as my own daughter."

"Mom, you know how much I've always wanted a daughter."

Li Hongyan said she wanted a daughter. Chen Xiaoying knew it, but she also knew why she wanted a daughter.

Many people want to have sons, but once they have at least two, they start to say, "Oh, I like daughters. I like girls."

Others would also say: "Yes, it would be great if we had a son and a daughter."

What is the deeper meaning behind this?

If there is a son, there will be someone to carry on the family line. As for the daughter who is born next, she will be a good helper to the women who serve the men in the family. She can pick vegetables, wash dishes, and sweep the floor. The boy doesn't have to do anything. It is all the work of both mother and daughter, or even just the work of the daughter.

When the child grows up and gets married, her dowry will be the dowry for her brother to marry his wife.
