Chapter 124 Change of wedding date
As Xu Lihua finished speaking, Zeng Chang's furious voice came from outside the door: "Xu Lihua! Who are you talking about here with your big mouth open? I'm ugly? I think you have never looked in the mirror! You are much uglier than me!"
Sun's mother covered her lips, slowly turned her face away, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in her eyes, watching Zeng Chang and Xu Lihua spit at each other.
The topic changed from marriage to who is uglier between Xu Lihua and Zeng Chang.
Jiang Yu returned home, stepped on a chair and climbed up the wall to see the persimmon cakes he had dried.
The sun was good these two days, and the matsutake and hericium dried quickly. The persimmon cakes still need to be dried for a few more days, but now they have begun to soften and are very sweet.
After getting off the chair, Duan Yuzhen brought the topic back to the topic, and the first thing she said was: "Uncle Zeng, you are already old, and there is no rush to get married. Let's change the time."
Zeng Chang said, of course he was unwilling.
"Why should I change the time? Why don't you respect the elderly?"
Changing the time at the last minute is so unlucky.
Duan Yuzhen patiently persuaded him: "It's not that we don't respect the elderly, but our wedding days coincide with each other, which is not good. Then the uncles, aunts and mothers in the compound, will drink your wine or mine?"
"Then let's do it together, and the money for the banquet will be half for you and half for me."
Anyway, Zeng Chang didn't mind.
Duan Yuzhen was of course unwilling, why should she share her banquet with others.
Yan Wenxuan thought it was feasible. His sister and her family had just returned from the countryside, and the family needed money everywhere.
He could accept the gift money and save money on the wedding banquet. What was wrong with that?
"Yuzhen..."
Duan Yuzhen interrupted him sharply, "Don't dream. I can't agree to it! Why should I share my wedding banquet with others?"
Yan Wenxuan was rejected by her and his face looked a little unhappy.
Duan Yuzhen was not as good as Zhang Xiyue in this respect. She didn't know how to be gentle and considerate.
"Then you coordinate it yourself. I don't care. I have classes in the afternoon. I'm going to school first."
After saying that, Yan Wenxuan turned his sleeves and left, but was stopped by Duan Yuzhen.
"Why are you leaving? You haven't finished talking yet. Are you going to get married or not?"
Yan Wenxuan didn't know whether to leave or stay. He just stood aside in silence, secretly regretting.
He thought that he had chosen a wife with the worst temper after all the selection!
Jiang Yu thought that he had nothing to do with it, but Duan Yuzhen came over.
"Jiang Yu, didn't Uncle Zeng marry your cousin? Go and ask her to change the wedding date."
Jiang Yu felt puzzled. "You can talk to me. What's the use of telling me?"
Whether Jiang Li was willing or not was none of her business.
"Isn't that your cousin?"
"What's wrong with cousin? How can sisters have bad relationships? Cousins should have good relationships? You just asked people to change the wedding date. Who do you think you are? You're like a landlord's daughter in the old society. Everyone has to give in to you."
Jiang Yu fed the chickens in the chicken pen some rice bran and vegetable leaves.
She was not that extravagant. The last time she killed a chicken, it had been several days since then. The family didn't buy meat again and lived on bacon.
She wanted to ask He Tingyue to take care of the rabbit, but when she picked up the knife, she found that it was pregnant.
It made her very worried. Rabbits eat grass, and it's not easy to get wild grass and vegetables in this city.
In addition, there is always an indescribable odor when it is kept in the yard, and it is not easy to clean it every day.
Jiang Yu clearly refused, but Duan Yuzhen did not leave.
She still stood at the door of the south room, staring at Jiang Yu.
"You and your cousin have a bad relationship? Why don't you look for anyone else, but Uncle Zeng from our compound? Maybe she was able to succeed because you shared your experience with her?" She
was putting the blame on Jiang Yu in her words.
Duan Yuzhen glanced at Zeng Chang with mockery in her eyes: "Uncle Zeng, you'd better look carefully, otherwise you will be cheated later. You are still happily counting money. Such a young girl, and her first marriage, wouldn't it be better for her to find a young man? Why did they choose you, a second-married girl? Isn't it because they like you because you are a city girl?"
Grandmother Sun agreed calmly: "What Yuzhen said makes sense."
Jiang Yu tilted his head and asked back: "Marrying a man means you will have clothes to wear and food to eat. You don't want anything, so why do you want to get married? The marriage is a matter between my cousin and Uncle Zeng. It's okay if they don't feel at a loss. Does Uncle Zeng feel that he has lost out by marrying a virgin girl in her twenties?"
Zeng Chang was stunned and really thought about it for a moment.
He shook his head decisively and said firmly: "Not a loss!"
Jiang Li was only in her twenties and a first marriage. She was young and fertile. Who knows, she might give him a big fat boy in the future. How could it be a loss?
Jiang Yu laughed, "My sister Li is willing to marry Uncle Zeng, she must feel it is not a loss. They love each other, but you, Yuzhen, use such dirty thoughts to speculate about them, what is your intention? Just because Uncle Zeng is unwilling to change the wedding date, you want to break them up?"
Xu Lihua rarely agreed with Jiang Yu's words: "Ruan Xiuyu, I can't tell, you don't want Uncle Zeng to get married and have a son!"
Grandmother Sun's face turned ugly, and before she could say anything, Zeng Chang defended her: "It's all because of that damn girl Duan Yuzhen who talked nonsense. What does it have to do with Xiuyu?"
Duan Yuzhen felt that Zeng Chang didn't know how to be kind. What did she say wrong?
"Uncle Zeng, didn't she marry you because you are a city girl? You married a wife who is greedy and vain, aren't you afraid..."
Jiang Yu interrupted her in a cold voice: "Because Uncle Zeng is a city girl, she is greedy and vain. Uncle Zeng is because my cousin is young, so what does he mean? Lustful? Is that what you mean?"
Duan Yuzhen choked, "I don't mean that."
"Oh, so what you mean is that you can have your own agenda when choosing a wife, but you can't be picky when choosing a man? Our great leader said that women can hold up half the sky, but in the eyes of Comrade Duan Yuzhen, it seems that we female comrades are still placed in an inferior position."
Jiang Yu's eyes showed a look of condemnation, "Comrade Duan Yuzhen, this is not right, your ideological awareness is not enough."
Duan Yuzhen was not as eloquent as her, and was unable to speak. She turned and glared at Yan Wenxuan.
"Are you dead? Your wife was bullied, and you just watched and said nothing?"
Yan Wenxuan looked embarrassed, "Were we not talking about marriage just now? Why are
you arguing about this?" Duan Yuzhen said sharply, "Were we not talking about marriage now? Either they change the wedding date or we do. Who do you think should change it?"
Sun's mother sighed, "Old Zeng, why don't you change the wedding date and let these young people do it?"
Zeng Chang always listened to her the most. He was about to nod when he heard Jiang Li's voice.
"Change what wedding date? Since you are talking about my marriage, shouldn't you have asked me?"
Jiang Li, who everyone has been curious about for so many days, finally showed up.
Jiang Yu saw her, said nothing, and turned to go into the house.
Xu Lihua looked Jiang Li up and down, thinking that it was no wonder that Zeng Chang was thinking about Sun's mother. She was indeed not pretty enough.
If she had the beauty of Jiang Yu and her sister, Zeng Chang would not have been led around by her grandmother.
"Tell me, why change the wedding date? You don't want to marry me? Well, we won't get married!" Jiang Li thrust her chest out and pushed Zeng Chang's arm directly.
