Zhang Zihua's mother dropped the cup in her hand to the ground with a "bang".
"Just go, do you think my son cares about you?
A street sweeper like you is not worthy of my son. I only persuaded him to marry you out of kindness.
Now you even dare to chase me away. I want to see if you can still get married now that my son doesn’t want you anymore.”
When the two children heard that they were leaving, they hurried into Zhou Xiaopeng's room and came out after a while with their backpacks bulging.
Li Qiumei signaled Li Qiuxiang with her eyes to see if there was anything of Xiaopeng in the brothers' schoolbags.
Li Qiuxiang walked over and opened the bag cover directly: "Xiaowei, why did you take Xiaopeng's toys?"
She reached out and took out the toy: "This toy was bought for him by his aunt, he likes it very much."
Hu Lanying quickly stood up and opened the other child's schoolbag.
"Oh, I see this piggy bank is Xiaopeng's, and this pencil case is also his."
Hu Lanying quickly took the things out and shouted, "If you don't learn well at such a young age, you will be in trouble when you grow up."
The family left cursing, carrying their snakeskin bags on their backs.
Hu Lanying spat at their backs: "This family is full of thieves and their family tradition is not good."
She was about to curse, but Li Guofu tugged at the corner of her clothes and she immediately sat down without saying a word.
Li Qiumei asked Li Qiuxiang: "Sister, what should we do next?"
Li Qiuxiang stroked Zhou Xiaopeng's piggy bank and thought for a moment, "Ten tables have been reserved for tomorrow's banquet. The only people I'm inviting are a few colleagues and friends from work, so they'll occupy two tables. The remaining eight tables are hosted by Zhang Zihua.
I paid a deposit of 100 yuan, and I don’t think I’ll get it back.”
Hu Lanying couldn't help but speak up: "Qiuxiang, why don't you get married again?"
"Mom, Zhang Zihua didn't pay a penny, and he even wanted his mother to live with his brother and his family at my place.
What am I getting married for?
Hu Lanying glared at her. "There's such a thing? Why were you doing it earlier? Why did you have to wait until now to find out?"
"Ding ding ding" someone is knocking on the door.
Li Qiumei opened the door and Zhang Zihua's sister-in-law walked in, supporting his mother.
The two of them walked over to the sofa and sat down.
"Qiuxiang, you changed your mind because you were worried that we would stay in the city with you, right?"
Seeing that Li Qiuxiang remained silent, the old lady continued to speak to herself: "Don't worry, we won't stay in the city.
After you finish your wedding tomorrow, we will go back to our hometown the day after tomorrow."
Li Qiuxiang didn't believe it: "Then you won't let your eldest grandson go to school in the city?"
The old lady thought for a while and said: "We in the Zhang family only have these two grandsons. Xiaoxi will have to get married in the future. When Zihua and you get old, we will still have to rely on them.
If you let these two children go to the city to study, you will also be able to benefit from their success in the future.
Besides, they are grown up and can take care of themselves.
At worst, there is Xiaoxi and his father. You don’t have to worry about them.
In the future, I can still follow Zihua and enjoy the happiness of the two brothers. This is such a wonderful thing."
"Puchi, puchi." Li Qiuxiang and her sister and Hu Lanying all laughed out loud.
Before Li Qiuxiang could speak, Hu Lanying spoke up: "Mother-in-law, your family has such a blessing that our Qiuxiang cannot enjoy.
Your son gave all his salary to you and took his daughter to find Qiuxiang for a living.
Now I have to add two mouths to the mix. Oh my God, if I continue to be skinned and blood-drained like this, how can I possibly live to enjoy this blessing from your family?"
The old lady frowned and said, "Qiuxiang, the wedding is tomorrow. How are you going to explain this to your relatives and friends if you come here to make trouble now?
I might as well give you a lowdown. If you don't listen to my advice, my son will immediately find someone to take your place.
Then you will be the only one embarrassed."
Hu Lanying spat at the old lady: "Pah, it seems you've even found a spare. You wicked people, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Li Qiuxiang snorted coldly: "Your son used to keep saying that he and that young widow were innocent, but now it seems that it was just a trick.
I think you should go back and prepare a banquet for your son."
Li Guofu walked over, opened the door, and yelled at the old lady, "Get out now!"
The old lady wanted to say something but was pulled out by her daughter-in-law.
Li Qiumei held her forehead with her hand: "What kind of weird people are these?"
Hu Lanying sat on the sofa, scolding Lao Zhang and Li Qiuxiang.
"Ding ding ding." Someone else came.
Li Guofu opened the door and Lao Zhang squeezed in.
He looked at Li Qiuxiang domineeringly and said, "Li Qiuxiang, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you going to get married or not?"
Li Qiuxiang told him word by word: "I won't get married."
"Well, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't come to me crying tomorrow."
Zhang Zihua got up and went into the room to pack his clothes.
Li Qiumei looked at Li Qiuxiang and said, "Sister, go and keep an eye on him. Don't let him take away the wedding suit you bought for yourself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Lanying ran into Li Qiuxiang's room.
"Hey, don't touch that new dress. It was bought by our Qiuxiang."
Zhang Zihua said shamelessly: "This is my clothes."
Hu Lanying pulled him over and said, "You are still a teacher, but you are so shameless. Did you pay me?
Qiuxiang, come and take a look, which ones did you buy with your own money?
As Hu Lanying spoke, she handed the suit in her hand to Li Guofu, then picked up Zhang Zihua's bag and poured all the clothes and pants inside onto the bed.
Li Qiuxiang pointed, and every time she pointed at something, Hu Lanying took it away.
In the end, there were only two or three pieces of clothes and pants left on the bed.
Zhang Zihua threw the bag away angrily: "I don't want it anymore, I'll give it to you."
He walked out angrily. Hu Lanying picked up his clothes, chased him to the stairs, and threw him down.
"Take your junk away!"
Hu Lanying came in cursing, "Didn't you say you didn't want it? And yet you even picked up the buttons that fell on the ground."
She looked at the clothes in Li Guofu's arms and covered her chest in anger: "Qiuxiang, why are you so stupid?
You bought so many things for such a man.
Your father and I have worked so hard to raise you for so many years. Tell me, how many pieces of clothing have you bought for your father?
Li Qiuxiang lowered her head. Li Guofu threw the clothes and pants in his arms on the bed and helped Hu Lanying out.
“Sister, you ordered the banquet, and I don’t know if Lao Zhang will change the bride and hold the wedding at the same place.
You should ask them to go with you and see if you can get the deposit back."
When Hu Lanying heard that a deposit had been paid, she hurriedly said, "Qiuxiang, go tell the hotel right now.
Tell them not to buy groceries and see if they can get their deposits back.”
