Chapter 220 Wedding Banquet
"Once they're done, I'll urge them to have a child." Xu Yuxiang also had this thought. "If she can't have a son, what's the point of marrying her with such a generous gift? Will she do nothing when she comes home, or will she boss people around?"
You don’t know until you compare. It’s really shocking when you do.
Gao Meifeng really didn't do any work when she came to their house. No wonder Feng Yuefen was picky about it. Gao Meifeng was just not as good as Chen Guilan in terms of work.
Apart from not giving Su Houli a son, Chen Guilan was a good hand at home and in the fields. As a mother-in-law, she was very satisfied with her. It was Su Houli who chose Gao Meifeng because he disliked her dull personality and lack of knowledge.
If Gao Meifeng can't give birth to a son, Su Houli will suffer a huge loss.
"Mom, do you think Gao Meifeng will listen to you?" Su Xiumei still understood Gao Meifeng. The woman seemed reasonable on the surface, but in fact she was very fierce and domineering. Xu Yuxiang was no match for her at all.
"She has to listen even if she doesn't want to. As a mother-in-law, I have to ask about the children's affairs." Xu Yuxiang's ideas are still old traditions. No matter how powerful a woman is, when she becomes a daughter-in-law, she has to respect her parents-in-law and give birth to children. This is the duty of a daughter-in-law.
"Hehe, then I'll see who's more powerful between you, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law." Su Xiumei wasn't there to watch her mother's fun, but she felt that Gao Meifeng was too arrogant, and someone had to dampen her arrogance.
"Talk is talk, fuss is fuss, but that's all for the future." Xu Yuxiang got back to the point. "This generous gift has been delayed for so long, let's arrange it properly for him. We must show due courtesy and not let others laugh at us."
"Who isn't taking good care of things for him?" Su Xiumei said disdainfully, "It's his mother-in-law who's been giving him a hard time, with all the betrothal gifts and wedding chores. If I were Su Houli, I would have kicked Gao Meifeng out long ago!"
She's already 40 years old, but she still wants to have the same grand wedding as a young girl.
She gets angry when she thinks about it.
On the day of Su Houli and Gao Meifeng's wedding banquet, Xu Yuxiang and Su Houde's family arrived early. Feng Yuefen had originally planned not to come, but she was worried that Su Xiumei didn't take that much money as a gift, so she came along.
Besides, it was worth it for their family of four to spend fifty dollars to have a meal at the Guolv Hotel.
Su Xiumei and Liang Wencai also brought their children with them. The four members of the family had their own thoughts. Su Xiumei felt that she was the head of the Su family, and she had to come and calm the situation in such occasions.
Liang Wencai is very proud of having a son and a daughter now. He holds his precious daughter tightly in his arms. Liang Zhenzhen is seven months old. She sleeps when she is full and plays when she wakes up. She is very easy to take care of.
Liang Kun hadn't planned to come, but he happened to be free today, so he decided to join in the fun.
In addition to Gao Meifeng's mother Gao Guo and her brother Gao Qiang, there were also Gao Meifeng's eldest and second aunts. The two aunts brought their respective grandchildren, and they were noisy and gathered around the table.
Xue Yuxin had no time and no mood to come to class.
Gao Meifeng was very disappointed that she didn't have the wedding she had expected, but since things had come to this point, she could only force a smile. Being able to hold the wedding banquet at the Guolv Hotel was her only remaining dignity.
The food came up one after another.
Su Houli's heart was beating fast. These dishes were quite expensive. This table of food almost cost him a month's salary.
Gao Guoshi had been unhappy about the betrothal gift and had no interest in the delicious food in front of her. In front of everyone, she sat down and challenged Su Houli: "Houli, when are you going to buy a house?"
A son-in-law is half a son.
She spoke bluntly to Su Houli. She wanted to let him know that even though her daughter was getting married for the second time, it was not easy to marry her.
"We'll buy it when we have the money." Su Houli was in high spirits, beaming. "Our company offers good benefits, so if we buy in the name of my husband and I, we only need a down payment of 10,000 yuan to buy a house from our company. I estimate we'll have enough money to buy a house by the end of next year."
He was quite respectful to his mother-in-law, Gao Guo.
Every time he went to her house, Gao Guo would give him fried eggs. Although it was a custom in Jiao County for the mother-in-law to fry eggs for her son-in-law, Gao Guo was very sincere and always gave him a full bowl.
"It's November now, which means my daughter will have to live with you in the rental house for another year?" Gao Guo was still very satisfied with Su Houli. He was good-looking and had a decent job.
But she was very dissatisfied with the Su family, especially Xu Yuxiang. She felt that the old woman Xu Yuxiang was deliberately making things difficult for Gao Meifeng.
As a mother-in-law, she doesn't act like a mother-in-law at all.
"Mother-in-law, Meifeng has been living in a rental house with her daughter. She didn't move in just because she followed my son, right?" Xu Yuxiang couldn't stand it any longer. She was also disgusted with Gao Guo. Her daughter was remarried and had a child, but she still treated her like a virgin.
"Marry a man, you get clothes and food. Finding a man is to live a better life, not to continue to live a hard life."
When Gao Guoshi heard her say this, her old face couldn't be any darker. "You have no house and no money, yet you managed to marry my daughter. Go home and enjoy it secretly. But you must treat my daughter well in the future, otherwise, I won't forgive you."
Su Houde and Feng Yuefen were just busy eating.
As expected of the China Travel Hotel, the food tastes really good.
Su Cuicui quietly pulled a chicken leg for Su Jinbao. Su Jinbao ate it with gusto, not caring about anything else. The food in the big restaurant was just delicious.
Su Xiumei watched coldly. She had just gone to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of egg custard and was slowly feeding it to Xiao Zhenzhen.
Liang Wencai and Liang Kun listened quietly to the two old ladies talking back and forth, and no one said a word.
"Mom, don't worry, I will treat Meifeng and Yuxin well. Yuxin will be my biological daughter from now on." Su Houli was very good at reading people's expressions. Although Gao Guo's words were a bit harsh, what she said was true. He really had no money and no house.
"Brother-in-law, don't you have a house in the village?" Gao Qiang picked up his wine glass, drank it all, and interrupted, "Why did you give it to Su Jiaojiao?"
When he thought of Su Jiaojiao, he remembered the loss he suffered last time.
I have a lot of anger but nowhere to vent it.
Under the influence of alcohol, he deliberately made things difficult for Su Houli.
"I gave it, so why are you asking so many questions?" Su Xiumei said calmly, "Why do we need to ask your family's consent for our Su family's affairs?"
What a joke. Gao Qiang is just a second-rate gangster. What qualifications does he have to ask about their family affairs?
When there is no one left in their Su family, do you still think they are easy to bully?
"That's not what I meant!" Gao Qiang knew that Su Xiumei's family all worked at the meat processing plant and were not someone to be trifled with, so his tone softened. "I was just asking casually."
"Today is a formal occasion, not the place for casual conversation." Su Xiumei finished feeding the child and handed it to Liang Wencai, looking at him coldly. "The house in the village that Hou Li gave to Su Jiaojiao before your sister and your brother-in-law got married. Besides, you have no right to ask these questions."
"If you give it to me, you can always ask for it back." Aunt Guo, who was sitting next to Gao Guoshi, had already fed her grandson. Seeing Su Xiumei's aggressive words, she rolled her eyes and said, "Before was before, now is now. Now that Hou Li has Meifeng, it's different from before."
She had heard from Gao Meifeng a long time ago that Su Houli's sister was a difficult person to get along with.
What good can a married woman do if she even interferes with her parents' affairs?
"That's right. Who would give the house to their ex-wife after a divorce? They have to take it back." Aunt Guo also agreed. She was feeding her grandson with another chicken leg. The grandson's hands and mouth were covered in oil, which smeared all over her body.
"Aunt, let's talk about these things later." Su Houli felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that he gave the house and land to Chen Guilan and her daughter just to be with Gao Meifeng.
Liang Wencai and Liang Kun remained silent from beginning to end.
These matters are the Su family's business, and they don't want to interfere.
Su Houde and Feng Yuefen acted as if they didn't hear anything and just kept eating. They took a fifty yuan share and they had to eat their share back no matter what.
Su Houli gave the house to Su Jiaojiao, and they were very angry. Su Jiaojiao was a girl and would have to get married sooner or later, and the house would become an outsider's. It would be better to give it to their Su Jinbao.
But Su Houli insisted on giving it to his daughter, so they couldn't say anything. It was better than giving it to Gao Meifeng and Xue Yuxin.
Seeing that Su Houde and his wife were just focused on eating as if they had never been to a restaurant in their lives, Aunt Guo Da and Aunt Guo Er secretly cursed them for being uncultured, but they were not willing to be outdone. The two old sisters stopped talking and ate the food with big mouthfuls.
Before Su Houli and Gao Meifeng could toast, the food on the plates had been eaten up.
What made Gao Meifeng even more crazy was that Xu Yuxiang actually dipped the steamed buns in the remaining soup on the plate, saying it would be a waste if she didn't eat it.
Liang Kun was almost dying of laughter, and couldn't help but teasing Su Houli: "Uncle, do you want another table? No one is full!"
