There were only three or five tables at Wang Yufu's home, and most of the guests were from the same village and his good friends. There were not many people, but everyone was eloquent and loved to drink.

Nearly half of the people are over 50 years old.

They started drinking in the morning, and at noon they were still gathered together drunk and wanted to drink more.

Wang Yufu has been a widower for most of his life, and is halfway into his grave. Now he has married a young, beautiful wife who can read and write.

I was feeling happy and didn't refuse, so I started drinking with them.

"Old Wang is really good at living. He used his money to marry such a beautiful wife. How do you feel about that?"

The voice of the person asking the question was full of ambiguity. Wang Yufu had been in the room for so long that the voices of the people in the room changed again and again. Everyone had been there before, so they all understood.

Others also took advantage of the alcohol to start a commotion.

"Yes, Lao Wang, how does it taste? She is a young lady, but she doesn't look happy. Did you kidnap her from somewhere?"

Although they were friends, it was impossible for them not to feel jealous when they saw that the gray-haired Wang Yufu was able to marry such a young and beautiful girl.

Wang Yufu had drunk quite a bit of wine and was a little tipsy. Hearing what they said, he could not help but get angry.

"What do you know? This little girl is from the next door hardworking village. The one who just carried her here was her father. Don't talk nonsense about kidnapping her."

"I know you all call me an old bachelor behind my back, saying that I have no one to serve me at my age. But now I have one, and she is younger, prettier, and can read and write than your wives."

Wang Yufu knew what words to say to provoke them. Sure enough, these drinkers all had unhappy expressions on their faces, and some of them frequently looked inside the house.

After Wang Yufu came out, the door was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap.

"Go, go, go, what are you looking at? Go back to see your wife."

Someone asked.

"Lao Wang, it's not that the brothers look down on you, but we are so old, how can that girl like you? At your age, you can be her grandfather."

Wang Yufu turned his head to look at the door inside the house, with disdain on his face, and started to tell everyone how he got Shen Aiqiu.

"Don't blame me for not telling you. It's true. We are so old, how could anyone be interested in us? But my wife's family is short of money, so they asked me for 400 yuan before they would marry their daughter to me. They took the money and sent her to me today. They also said that if she wakes up and makes trouble, they will just give her a beating and she will behave herself."

Someone cried out in surprise.

"You, you are breaking the law."

Wang Yufu didn't care whether it was illegal or not. He only knew that the person in the room was his wife. He waved his hand as if to take the other party's wine glass.

"Go away, do you know how to talk? This is a formal marriage, and it's not against the law. If you've had enough, return the glass and leave here early."

"No, Brother Wang, I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else. I haven't married yet, I just want to share in Brother Wang's wedding joy so I can get married sooner."

Only then did Wang Yufu snort and stop trying to grab the wine glass.

"I say, Lao Wang, we've just finished drinking and eating almost all the food, can you give us some more dishes? We can't just eat peanuts, we're not enjoying it enough."

"What food are we going to eat? It would be nice to have some wine. We have almost spent all our savings to get a wife. The Shen family is asking a lot of money. The thing in the room is not worth 400 yuan. They are really poor."

When he first met Shen Ai Qiu, Wang Yufu felt itchy inside and just wanted to marry her as soon as possible. He didn't care at all about how much the bride price was.

But as soon as he married her, he changed his mind and felt that there was nothing special about her. Even if she was well-educated and literate, it was of no use in their village.

It's not worth spending 400 bucks on it.

"That's right. The factory lost money to you for so many years. I can't spend all the money even if I die. I can marry a wife who can take care of you. That's enough."

Thinking about such a young and beautiful girl serving him, Wang Yufu felt a little more balanced.

"Which one of you is Wang Yufu? Where is Shen Aiqiu?"

Officer Pei brought his men to Wang Yufu's home, where the smell of alcohol was overwhelming and really unpleasant.

"Hmm? Who's looking for me?"

Wang Yufu was so drunk that he couldn't see clearly, so he walked in to take a closer look, almost brushing against Officer Pei's face. The smell of alcohol sprayed on Officer Pei's face with his every breath.

Officer Pei's face was wrinkled like a knot, obviously he was severely smoked.

After Wang Yufu saw what was happening clearly, he stepped back in fear, tripped over the boss's bench behind him, and fell on the table.

I'm mostly sober.

"Police, police comrade, why are you here?"

Officer Pei inspected the yard and came to Wang Yufu.

"Are you Wang Yufu? I heard that you got married today. Whose family did you marry? Where is the marriage certificate? Take it out for me to see. We have received reports from enthusiastic people that you are suspected of human trafficking. Please cooperate with the investigation."

At this point, Wang Yufu was completely sober. Not only him, but even those who had drunk too much at the wedding banquet stood up one after another and wanted to leave.

"Please wait a moment. We will do some investigations with you. Someone will ask you questions. After you answer truthfully, you can leave. But don't be afraid, they are just some minor questions."

Having said that, he asked his men to question them one by one, separating them to avoid interfering with each other.

Wang Yufu understood the other party's intention and felt a little scared, but not much.

"Comrade police officer, it is absolutely impossible to accuse me of slander. I have discussed it with the other party's parents and sought their consent before setting the date for the wedding. If you don't believe me, go and ask them."

Officer Pei also had a person stay beside him, who was responsible for recording what the other party said.

"Then, has Shen Aiqiu agreed? Where is she? Ask her to come out and respond."

Wang Yufu clasped his hands together and rubbed them back and forth.

"Well... her parents agreed, so she must have agreed too, otherwise she wouldn't have shown up at my house, right, police comrade? As for her herself—"

When he talked about Shen Ai Qiu, his tone lengthened.

Officer Pei asked sharply.

"What's wrong with her? Just tell me what you want to say. Don't be so secretive."

Wang Yufu was startled by Officer Pei's voice and his body trembled a few times.

"She drank two glasses of wine at the banquet and got drunk. Now she has gone to bed and fallen asleep. If you have any questions, you can ask me the same."
