Cheng Maixiang heard from his words that he seemed to have a lot of complaints about Ruan Peiling, and asked curiously, "Da Zhou, did Peiling offend you?"
"No, she is so powerful, how could she offend anyone? Only people like me with a dull brain would offend others." Zhou Minqi said with a pout.
Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu looked at each other, not knowing what the conflict between the two had been. However, now was not the time to dwell on these trivial matters. They quickly picked some meat dishes on the table that could fill their stomachs and ate a lot of them. Then they took their wine glasses and took turns to toast at each table.
Wherever the two walked to, the people at that table stood up and clinked glasses with the two newlyweds. Zhou Minqi followed behind them with a bottle full of white wine. Cheng Maixiang knew that they had to drink today and was afraid of being drunk, so she secretly tampered with the wine she drank.
The two bottles of wine Zhou Minqi took were mixed with almost 95% water. Fortunately, there were many people present and everyone at the table was busy eating and drinking, so no one noticed what she had done.
After the two toasted in Cheng's mother's yard, they came to Cheng's eldest brother's yard. It was still crowded, with cups and plates scattered all over the table, and many people were busy eating.
The two of them toasted everyone in the yard and came to the main room. They saw Brother Cheng and Secretary Li from the commune sitting on the chairs, with Wei Lingcheng and Lin Qingwan next to them. Ruan Peiling, who had originally clamored to block the wine for Cheng Maixiang, was having a great time with the two children.
Secretary Li was toasting with Brother Cheng. When he saw the two newcomers coming to toast, his eyes immediately lit up. He stood up with a laugh and patted Cheng Maixiang on the shoulder. "Comrade Cheng, you've done a great job. Last year, the garment workshop achieved such great results that even the county and city praised you. Our entire commune should be proud of you."
Lin Jiayu's face suddenly darkened. Cheng Maixiang immediately squeezed his hand, urging him not to cause any unpleasantness at the wedding. Seeing Secretary Li's flushed face, she knew he was drunk. She immediately and discreetly moved a little further away and said politely, "Secretary Li, you're too kind. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Secretary Li was about to take another step closer to Cheng Maixiang when a glass of wine was suddenly handed to him. Ruan Peiling said with a smile, "No wonder he looked familiar to me. It turned out to be Secretary Li from the Red Star Commune. Maizi drank so much, I'll drink this glass for her."
Ruan Peiling clinked her glasses with Secretary Li's, drank the whole glass, and said to him with a smile, "Secretary Li, it's your turn."
Secretary Li was originally unhappy with Ruan Peiling's forced intrusion, but when he saw that she was also beautiful, he suddenly became happy again. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, laughing, "Why, have you seen me before?"
Secretary Li was just being polite and wanted Ruan Peiling to praise him, but unexpectedly, Ruan Peiling smiled and said, "Who hasn't heard of Secretary Li of the Red Star Commune? I heard your name three years ago when I was interviewing at Wenzhong Farm!"
Secretary Li was stunned. After a long pause, he managed to say, "You, you are Ruan Peiling, a reporter from the county daily?"
"Yes, it's amazing that Secretary Li, such a busy man, still remembers me. It's really my honor."
Secretary Li's face suddenly turned pale. He turned to Cheng Maiqing and said, "Maiqing, I've had a little too much to drink. I'm drunk. I need to go back and rest. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll send me back lying down."
Cheng Maiqing had long been dissatisfied with him taking advantage of his drunken streak to touch his sister. Now, when he heard him take the initiative to leave, he was more than happy to do so. He immediately said, "In that case, I'll have someone send the secretary back."
"No, no, Xiao Qi who came with me is having the meal outside. I'll just ask him to accompany me." Secretary Li hurriedly refused. Cheng Maiqing went with him to the yard to find Xiao Qi.
As soon as the two left the room, Lin Jiayu slammed the table hard, scaring everyone.
"Lin Jiayu, you scared me to death," Ruan Peiling patted her chest and hugged the frightened Yingying to comfort her, "Look how scared the child is."
"Okay, she just patted me on the shoulder, and no one took advantage of me," Cheng Maixiang couldn't help but comfort him softly when she saw him sitting down at the table angrily.
"If Peiling hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid that old pervert wouldn't know what he would do. If today wasn't our wedding, I would definitely beat that old pervert up." Lin Jiayu's face darkened as he drank the wine in his hand. He then poured another glass from the bottle on the table with disgust and drank it all in one breath.
Cheng Maixiang held her hand and chuckled as she said, "Even if Peiling hadn't taken action, I wouldn't have let that bastard off easily. It's not easy to deal with someone like that."
Zhou Minqi looked at Ruan Peiling with admiration and asked curiously, "Lady, have you ever had any connection with this person before? Why did he run away in fear when he heard your name?"
Ruan Peiling snorted in disdain, "This old fellow usually looks so righteous, but once he drinks he acts like a drunk.
Three years ago, leaders from various communes visited Wenzhong Commune. I went there on behalf of the daily newspaper to cover the event. After the visit, we went to dinner together. The other commune leaders were fine, but he, having drunk a little, tried to take advantage of me. I pinned him to the table and gave him a good beating. After they were forcibly pulled apart, I took advantage of the chaos and kicked him. He was in so much pain that he could hardly stand up. Hum, Maizi was right, this old man deserved to be punished.
Wei Lingcheng and Lin Qingwan looked at each other. Lin Qingwan could not hide her surprise, while Wei Lingcheng smiled and shook his head.
Zhou Minqi opened her mouth in astonishment and raised her thumb. "Lady, you are awesome! Next time, you don't have to fight for it. I will give you the bike."
"You have good eyesight."
At this time, Cheng Maiqing walked in and saw that everyone was sitting. He hurriedly asked Cheng Maixiang, "Maizi, are you okay?"
