Zheng Baozhu's wedding art studio not only takes wedding photos, but also offers personal portraits, children's and parent-child photos, and hundred-day photos.
Very popular among young people.
One day, Zheng Baozhu went to the photo studio to inspect the work and came to pick up the parent-child photos taken with her children. She saw Wang Xiaowen looking at the photo sample album in the store.
Come over and ask: "Are you ready to take pictures of the baby?"
Wang Xiaowen smiled and said, "No." Pointing to a couple next to him, she said, "My brother is getting married, so he came here to take wedding photos."
Zheng Baozhu said: "Congratulations, both of you. Which set menu did you like?"
Wang Xiaowen said he liked the most affordable set meal, but his younger brother Wang Xiaohu wanted to choose the most expensive one.
Seeing that they had different opinions, Zheng Baozhu said that she had something else to do and let them take their time to choose.
Wang Xiaowen said: "Their makeup artists and photographers are all very good, and the photos they take are very beautiful. The package you chose only has more photos. It would be great if we could use the extra money to buy wedding supplies."
Wang Xiaohu's girlfriend was obviously unhappy. She glanced at Wang Xiaohu and motioned him to speak.
Wang Xiaohu said: "Sister, marriage is a lifelong event, we don't want to have any regrets. Anyway, my brother-in-law said that he will pay for the wedding photos, so don't save money for him."
Wang Xiaowen said: "Your brother-in-law's salary is not that much, and he spent all of it on taking wedding photos for you. How can we still live?"
"Sister, you are wrong. My brother-in-law gives half of his salary to his mother every month. The Jiang family is so rich, there is no need for this little child support.
He is just guarding against you, and secretly asks his family to save money behind your back. If you don't spend it, someone else will spend it for him, so he might as well spend it on us."
Wang Xiaowen was a little angry: "Don't say that about your brother-in-law. I also give half of my salary to my mother's family every month, and your brother-in-law didn't say anything."
Wang Xiaohu’s girlfriend said: “I can tell from a wedding photo that your family doesn’t care about me at all. If that’s the case, let’s not get married.” Then she was about to leave.
Wang Xiaohu quickly pulled her back and said to Wang Xiaowen, "Sister, do you have to wait until we fail to get married to be happy?"
Wang Xiaowen couldn't bear this responsibility, so he quickly said that he would go back and discuss it with Jiang Chongming.
…
After returning home, Wang Xiaowen mentioned the wedding photos to Jiang Chongming.
Jiang Chongming asked: "Have you finished shooting today?"
"No."
"Didn't you go with them to take pictures today?"
"My brother said he wanted to order the most expensive wedding dress package."
"The most expensive wedding package only has more photos, there is nothing different."
"That's what I said, but my brother's girlfriend didn't listen and said she wouldn't get married if I didn't shoot."
Jiang Chongming already knew about his wife's family.
As the eldest sister in the family, Wang Xiaowen has always taken good care of her younger siblings.
Before getting married, she gave all her salary to her parents for daily expenses of the family, and she also gave half of it after getting married.
Filial piety is a virtue, and Jiang Chongming does not think there is anything wrong with his wife's behavior.
When his brother-in-law got married, Jiang Chongming offered to pay for the wedding photos. Unexpectedly, they chose the most expensive package, which required Jiang Chongming's monthly salary, which was far beyond Jiang Chongming's budget.
I discussed with Wang Xiaowen: "How about adding 10 yuan and ordering a mid-range meal."
Wang Xiaowen said in embarrassment: "They want the most expensive one, saying that they can change six sets of clothes for the shoot."
“But I don’t have that much money.”
Wang Xiaowen asked carefully: "Can you not give mom money this month?"
Jiang Chongming's face darkened: "That's the living expenses for my daughter."
Wang Xiaowen thought it was not a big deal: "You give it every month, and a child can't spend it all. My parents don't need this little money, I believe they will understand."
Jiang Chongming suddenly felt that his wife had changed. When did his previously sensible wife become so calculative?
Seeing her husband's unhappy expression, Wang Xiaowen quickly explained: "It's just this once, and it won't happen again. After my brother gets married, we will work hard to make up for this time."
Jiang Chongming said: "You have two younger sisters at home. Won't you spend money on their weddings in the future?"
Jiang Chongming recalled that when he passed by a bridal shop, he saw a photo of Zheng Baozhu, the twins, and Song Sicheng.
Zheng Baozhu loves her husband's children as if they were her own, so why does his wife want to withhold their daughter's living expenses?
Before they got married, they discussed the issue of their daughter. If his wife had such an attitude from the beginning, he would definitely not remarry.
Jiang Chongming then took back what he had said before: "If they want to choose the most expensive one, then let them choose it."
Wang Xiaowen was very happy to hear this, but she didn't expect her husband to have not finished speaking yet.
"I only pay the initial amount, and they have to pay the rest themselves. If they think it's too little, I won't pay for that part either."
Wang Xiaowen was a little angry: "How can you be their brother-in-law if you don't keep your word like this?"
Jiang Chongming slammed the table and said, "If you think I'm unworthy of being their brother-in-law, I don't have to be one!"
Wang Xiaowen was dumbfounded.
How did things turn out like this?
If they paid for the wedding photos, their marriage would fall apart; if they didn't pay, my brother's marriage would fall through.
Wang Xiaowen was in a dilemma.
Zhou Sulan came with her child and saw that the atmosphere at home was not right. She asked what had happened.
Jiang Chongming hugged his daughter and left. Wang Xiaowen burst into tears in panic.
After repeated inquiries, Zhou Sulan finally learned what had happened. If it had been something else, Zhou Sulan would have paid the money.
But Zhou Sulan said nothing even though she spent so much money just to take a few more photos.
…
Jiang Chongming walked aimlessly on the street holding his child, and for a moment he didn't know where to go.
It was almost time for dinner. The smell of food wafted through the streets, and Jiang Chongming felt a little hungry.
The sign of the medicinal chicken shop was the largest and most eye-catching, so Jiang Chongming walked in.
"Brother-in-law, are you coming to eat too?"
It was Wang Xiaohu, having dinner with his girlfriend in the restaurant.
Jiang Chongming was in no mood to pay attention to him, so he found an empty table and sat down. Immediately, a waiter came over and asked how many people were having dinner.
Jiang Chongming said he was alone, and the waiter offered to give him a single pot.
Wang Xiaohu said, "Don't waste your money. Come sit at our table. We ordered three servings and can't finish them."
Jiang Chongming's face darkened when he heard this: "I'm not so poor that I can't even afford to eat, so why would I eat other people's leftovers!"
Wang Xiaohu felt that he was wrong and quickly apologized: "Brother-in-law, that's not what I meant. I just think that it's more lively when the family sits together to eat."
The waiter asked if the food was served, and Jiang Chongming said yes.
The small pot for one person is just enough for Jiang Chongming to finish.
Wang Xiaohu had finished his meal but had not left yet. There was still some uneaten chicken in the pot. Wang Xiaohu wanted to ask the waiter to pack it up and take it home, but his girlfriend made fun of him, saying that he was a loser for having to take away the food he couldn't finish.
Jiang Chongming stood up and went to the counter to pay the bill. Wang Xiaohu followed him and said to the waiter, "We are together."
Jiang Chongming glanced at him, gave him his share of the money, and said, "Don't pretend to be rich if you don't have money!"
