Chapter 74 Adding Dowry
Sui Qianqian and Su Chen and Su Yuan just squeezed to the gate. She stopped Su Qingyue without knowing anything and said righteously: "Public Security Officer Liu, is there any misunderstanding? Qingyue will not commit any crime. You can wait if you want to arrest her."
"Su Qianqian!"
Pei Huaiye interrupted her coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" If it wasn't for the fact that it was a happy occasion today and it was not appropriate to take action, he really wanted to kick this troublemaker away!
After the cornfield incident, Liu Gongan really had no good feelings towards Su Qianqian, but since she had a powerful backer, he just smiled awkwardly and said, "You really misunderstood. Our leader was entrusted by two friends in Beijing to deliver a dowry to Comrade Su Qingyue!"
Su Qingyue's eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Comrade Liu. I must have a drink at the wedding later."
Liu Qiang didn't dare to look at Su Qingyue directly, for fear of blushing. He had never seen such a beautiful bride.
"Of course, congratulations to both of you. Call a few people to carry the things."
Pei Huaiye called Yuan Guang and others over, and lifted out a half-person-high mahogany cabinet from the trunk. It had a mortise and tenon structure with rounded corners and two drawers underneath.
Although the onlookers didn't know what the cabinet was used for, they could tell at a glance that it was top-quality furniture.
Pei Huaiye and his companions took out a square box from the trunk.
Liu Qiang said in a clear voice: "Comrade Su, there is a nine-inch black-and-white TV in here. Can you take it apart and see if there is any damage?"
"Wow! Is that a TV?"
"Oh! So that cabinet is where the TV is placed!"
"No one in our village has a TV. I heard that watching TV is the same as watching a movie, except the screen is smaller!"
"The Su family in Beijing is still rich, and they have nothing to say about Su Qingyue!"
Su Qianqian clenched her palms and forced a smile: "The dowry your mother gave you is really precious, Su Qingyue, you are so lucky!"
Su Chen was a little confused. Logically speaking, his mother would never do this.
Liu Qiang glanced at Su Qianqian calmly, then looked at the note in his hand again, "This is the dowry from the Yan family."
Su Qingyue said to Pei Huaiye with a smile, "It's the old lady Yan I mentioned before."
Qiu Zhiyang was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "I met Old Lady Yan at the Beijing Hospital that day. She was very happy to know that you were getting married. Take a look, there should be a box of jewelry."
The jewelry box was very small. Pei Huaiye opened it and saw a golden light inside. There was a gold bracelet and a pair of gold earrings, which looked extremely valuable.
"Oh my god! Su Qingyue has such a noble friend in Beijing? What a generous person!"
"Yes, tsk, tsk, how much will it cost?"
The Su family knew about Su Qingyue's rescue. Su Yuan smiled and explained, "Qingyue saved the life of Old Lady Yan's great-grandson. Old Lady Yan is remembering her life-saving grace."
The smile on Su Qianqian's face disappeared completely.
Su Qingyue's luck was really good. If she had encountered the human traffickers and saved the Yan family's child, how great it would have been if she had won the Yan family's favor.
Liu Qiang opened the back door again, took out a Phoenix brand bicycle, and handed over a red envelope.
"Comrade Su, please check. Yan's dowry includes a mahogany TV cabinet, a black-and-white TV, and a box of pure gold jewelry. Shen's dowry includes a Phoenix brand bicycle and an envelope containing 500 yuan."
"Oh! My God, who is this Shen family?"
Su Chen and Su Yuan knew about it. Before the two of them went to the Shen family to exchange marriages, Shen Chongzhi said that it was Shen Xunbao who was sorry for Qingyue, and that he would add a dowry when Su Qingyue got married.
Shen Xunbao also knew about it, so when Su Qianqian twisted his waist hard, he didn't move at all, and there was condemnation in his eyes. If it weren't for Su Qianqian and Qiao Wang's affair, he wouldn't be seen as a scum who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything in the eyes of Shen Chongzhi.
Su Qingyue smiled calmly, checked the dowry, and had it all carried into the side room.
Su Qingyue's wedding dress brought out her slim and graceful figure. When she walked, the hem of her skirt swayed slowly and gently like a flower, and the small pendants made pleasant tinkling sounds, which made her look so cheerful.
The people in the yard opened their eyes wide and their mouths opened wide. They looked at Su Qingyue, then at the expensive dowry, and then whispered to each other. They were all very excited.
Li Gousheng came up to Chen Erdan and whispered, "We should be nicer to Su Zhuangzhuang in the future!"
"Why?"
Li Gousheng slapped him, "You are stupid, this way we can have a chance to come over and watch TV!"
Chen Erdan suddenly understood and nodded.
Su Qianqian returned to her seat with a look of death. Jiang Meng raised her eyebrows, "Qianqian, let's have a meal. I know that what happened before was not your fault."
Su Qianqian smiled innocently, "How can I compare with her? She graduated from high school, and I didn't even graduate from elementary school."
"You are just unlucky. People who are too kind are sometimes taken advantage of without even realizing it. Unlike her, she is full of bad ideas. She was wearing flashy clothes in the supply and marketing cooperative and flirting with the men in line. It was really unbearable to watch."
Jiang Meng said a lot of bad things about Su Qingyue, and Su Qianqian finally felt relieved.
Li Zilan was the one who arranged the wedding banquet, with the help of several sisters and aunts who were on good terms with her.
Two plates of dried fruits, melon seeds and peanuts; four cold dishes, cold cucumbers, candied tomatoes, cowpeas with black fungus, and spicy jelly.
There are ten hot dishes: fried pork with chili, braised eggplant, fried potatoes with green beans, spicy tofu, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried pork with chili, fried small yellow croaker, and chicken stewed with wild mushrooms.
The plates of delicious and sumptuous dishes were filled to the brim and were quickly snatched up as soon as they were served.
The villagers originally thought that their gifts this time were too high. Five dollars is not a small amount of money.
Everyone brought their whole family to the banquet, and now that they can enjoy such a sumptuous meal, they can’t help but sigh that it was worth the trip!
In the county town, eating out for four or five meat dishes would cost seven or eight yuan.
"Dongmei, go home and get an enamel basin. If there are any leftovers later, we can take some back."
Zhang Dongmei was chewing on a chicken leg, her mouth full of oil, "Mom, I'm not feeling well, Huai Gang, go back and get it."
Pei Huaigang didn't find Pei Huaimei, so he picked up two pieces of eggs with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, then put a handful of peanuts in his pocket, and then reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
He took an enamel basin and an enamel bowl from home, and everyone pointed and talked when they saw him.
"Not only did you not help my eldest brother with his wedding, but you also wanted to take away the food and money. How ridiculous."
"I heard that Pei Huaiye's 500 yuan betrothal gift was paid by his mentor Qiu Zhiyang. Pei Fugui's family is really stingy!"
Pei Huaigang said confidently, "My eldest brother is getting married, we can do whatever we want, what's it to you?"
Pei Huaiye was greeting guests when he heard the noise. He came over and glanced coldly at Pei Huaigang, then shouted in a low voice, "We have distinguished guests today, so you better keep quiet!"
Pei Huaigang met Pei Huaiye's angry eyes and dared not say a word.
After the banquet, there was not even a vegetable leaf on the table. The soup had been wiped up with steamed buns, so there was no leftover food.
Pei Fugui wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go to the kitchen. It's so big, there must be a lot of good things in it."
As they talked, they walked against the crowd towards the kitchen.
