Chapter 306: Slap in the face, Xiulian's target is a secret rich man
The three of them looked at each other, with strange lights flashing in their eyes.
"Impossible. Daqing has been to the alley himself. That place is a slum. Aunt Li also married there. If Xiulian's partner is a nouveau riche, then wouldn't Aunt Li be one too?" The eldest son's wife thought they were worrying too much.
"Why don't we go take another look?" The second son's wife suggested, "Maybe it was at night and the light was bad, so we couldn't see it clearly."
The third son's wife yawned, "No matter if her partner is a nouveau riche or just a pretentious one, the Zhu family has already cut off the marriage. If she really finds a nouveau riche, do we still have to kneel?"
The eldest son's wife choked, "Whoever wants to kneel can kneel. After Xiulian leaves, the three of us have to continue to implement our plan. I don't believe that within two months, those two old men won't divide the money."
The second and third daughters-in-law laughed and said, "Yes, the eldest sister-in-law is smart. No matter who she finds, we can't get a share. It's a good thing for her to leave."
The three of them went back to their rooms to rest, completely unaware that after dawn, when Father An came to pick up Aunt Xiu, he made them regret their decision.
"The bride's party is here, folks, get ready."
At ten o'clock in the morning, Aunt Li, who received An Nuan's call, held a porcelain plate in one hand and knocked with a wooden stick in the other, "Mrs. Zhu, hurry up and clean up. Don't delay the auspicious time. We still have to attend to the ceremony."
Aunt Li has a very loud voice, which is more effective than the loudspeaker in the village. The women of the Zhu family went to bed late last night, and they almost went crazy when they heard Aunt Li's disturbance right after they fell asleep.
Since seeing Aunt Xiu come back yesterday, the villagers have been busy in the courtyard of Old Zhu's house. Although Old Zhu's family collects the share money, over the years, every family in the village and outside will send gifts when they have something to do.
When they heard Aunt Li shout that the bride-picking party was about to arrive, they all stood at the gate, men in a row, women in a row, eagerly waiting to see what Aunt Xiu's partner would look like.
Someone with better eyesight saw the Mercedes-Benz parked in the front row and shouted, "Here he comes! Xiulian's boyfriend is here. Oh, and he's driving a Mercedes-Benz."
"It seems like there's more than one car, but twelve, all luxury cars. I only recognize one horse and one person."
"This scene is quite good. Hasn't the old Zhu family come down yet? Hurry up, the bride's party is here. Didn't they ask Xiulian's boyfriend to go around the villages for several miles? Why don't you come and take a look?"
"Old Zhu, come out quickly."
Last night, the Zhu family heard Zhu Xiulian say that she would not go back on her word, and after accepting the letter of breaking off the engagement, they wanted to give up everything. However, they also thought that if the wedding ceremony today did not pass, An Jinfu would have to pay money if he wanted to take her away.
When they heard Aunt Li calling, Zhu's father and mother had already finished washing up.
Not only was his attire unfestive, it was also old. He only pinned a flower on his chest as a token of his affection. When he heard the shouting, he walked out slowly, as if he had been invited out.
This was An Nuan’s first time in Jinxiu Village. She hadn’t had the chance in her previous life, and she didn’t talk much with Aunt Xiu.
Jinxiu Village is poor and mountainous, but the people are simple. Aunt Li made good arrangements. After getting off the highway, she asked someone to lead the way.
The surrounding scenery was pretty good. An Nuan rolled down the car window and all the villagers greeted them. An Nuan squinted and smiled.
The people from the Zhu family came out without much emotion on their faces. Even when the villagers were clamoring for twelve luxury cars, they remained calm. In the eyes of the Zhu family, these were all necessary.
However, twelve luxury cars are nothing, after all, they are rented and not very grand. The next step is to see the gift. If the gift is not up to standard, they will see if they will make things difficult for you.
Aunt Li glanced at them as they stuck their butts out as if they were about to fart, but she didn't laugh and didn't argue with them, fearing that she would be slapped in the face later.
"Nuannuan, you're here. You missed Aunt Li so much."
The car stopped and An Nuan was the first to get off. Li Tian, as the leader, did things according to her instructions. He first asked the workers to get off the car and take out the gifts placed in each car. When he gave the order, they brought the gifts to the gift table at Old Zhu's house.
Father An was the last one to leave, but he also had to obey orders.
He was holding the bouquet for Aunt Xiu in his hand and was extremely nervous.
Aunt Xiu in the side room was also nervous, but she couldn't get up. Her sister said that she could only move after her brother came in and carried her.
The moment An Nuan pushed the door and got out of the car, she amazed everyone in the Zhu family.
They never imagined that a girl who lived in the slums, was abused by her future stepmother, and whose father was still a child, could grow up to be so graceful and beautiful, like the daughter of a rich girl returning from Shanghai on TV.
Every gesture and movement exudes an awe-inspiring aura and charming temperament, without a trace of rusticity.
The Zhu family members looked at each other in bewilderment. "Xiulian's boyfriend's daughter? She's so pretty."
"Oh my god, Xiulian's boyfriend is not really a hidden rich man."
Zhu's father and mother glared at their three daughters-in-law who were not presentable. "Shut up! You're only boosting others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige. Just because your daughter is beautiful, does that mean she's a father?"
"That is, a ball that has been played with by a woman for twelve years, does it look good?"
No one in the Zhu family dared to interrupt. An Nuan listened to their mutterings and looked at Aunt Li without saying anything. Aunt Li then asked, "Uncle, aunt, should we look at the gift first, or the person first?"
Although the Zhu family cannot take any of the prepared gifts, the proper procedures must be followed.
Zhu's father and mother said, "Aunt, of course we have to look at the gift first. What's so good about a person? Whether she's ugly or pretty, Xiulian will definitely get married today. But you know the rules. If the gift isn't good, there's no point in looking at the person. Besides, we have to go around the village for miles."
"My Zhu family can't afford to lose that person."
