"right!"
Zhou Chengzhi said excitedly, "Your sister-in-law and I have discussed it and decided to get married on the same day as you. How about that? Aren't you happy? It's a double celebration for us to get married on the same day. First, it will bring comfort to our parents, and second, we can both have a home at the same time!"
Zhou Yuxiang was quite happy to hear this, but she felt something was amiss, so she covered the microphone with her hand and said to Xiang Pengfei, "My brother wants to have his wedding with us, what do you think?"
Xiang Pengfei said in surprise, "What? Getting married together? Him and Wu Shanshan?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Pengfei felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him. He was getting married to bring good fortune to his aunt and make her happy, but Zhou Chengzhi's interference was only causing her distress. He knew that Wu Shanshan had been targeting his aunt's family lately, starting with occupying Lin Dongzhe's house and constantly making underhanded moves, putting his aunt in a passive and constrained position. Today, she even opened a bookstore and was stealing his business. If the two of them were present on the wedding day, who knew what kind of trouble they might cause? The more Xiang Pengfei thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed. So he said to Zhou Yuxiang, "No, I strongly oppose getting married together! I object!"
Perhaps Zhou Yuxiang understood Xiang Pengfei's predicament and knew something about Wu Shanshan. After all, Zhou Yuxiang had known Xiang Pengfei for so long, and he must have told her about Wu Shanshan. So Zhou Yuxiang understood Xiang Pengfei. She let go of his hand, put the microphone to her ear, and said, "Brother, Pengfei doesn't want to have the wedding with you?"
"What? He disagrees? What right does he have to disagree? Why doesn't he agree? Don't forget he's just my brother-in-law, not our parents. Does he have the right to object?"
"Brother, don't blame Pengfei. You know Wu Shanshan has a bad reputation in the alley. If the people we invite have complaints about Wu Shanshan, it will be awkward for both sides. How about you change it to another day, the day after tomorrow? Pengfei and I will both go, okay?"
"No, he has no right to object to me. Tell Pengfei that I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, and that's it!"
As soon as Zhou Chengzhi hung up the phone, Zhou Yuxiang looked at Xiang Pengfei with some difficulty and said, "What should we do, Pengfei? My brother won't change his mind and insists on getting married on the same day as us!"
Xiang Pengfei jumped up and said, "Fine, if he won't change it, I will. I'll tell my aunt right now and let Deyuelou prepare in advance!"
"Okay, Pengfei, I'll hold a wedding banquet with you anytime you're willing!"
Seeing how understanding Zhou Yuxiang was, Xiang Pengfei suppressed his resentment and looked at her tenderly, saying, "Thank you, Yuxiang, for being so considerate. I'm so happy!"
Zhou Yuxiang said with a smile, "Alright, stop talking. Go and inform your aunt and Deyuelou, and tell them to make preparations in advance. We have a wedding banquet tomorrow. I will also inform my other friends. As for my brother, I won't say anything. I will apologize to him at his wedding banquet the day after tomorrow!"
Xiang Pengfei couldn't help but kiss Zhou Yuxiang and said, "Thank you! Yuxiang, you're so understanding!"
Zhou Yuxiang covered her face where Xiang Pengfei had kissed her and said, "Alright, hurry up and go inform them! The restaurant needs to prepare food and drinks, so don't be late and they won't be ready, or it will be too late!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chengzhi felt a little dejected. He lowered his head and said to Wu Shanshan, "I'm sorry, honey, my brother-in-law doesn't agree!"
Wu Shanshan glared angrily at Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Are you the brother-in-law or is he the brother-in-law?"
Zhou Chengzhi straightened his back and said, "Of course it's me!"
"You, the brother-in-law, actually listen to your brother-in-law? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Are you even a man?"
Zhou Chengzhi suddenly laughed and said, "Don't you know whether I'm a man or not? Why don't we try it out again!"
Wu Shanshan retorted angrily, "Get the hell out of here! Stop grinning at me. If you don't want to get married, we can break up. I'll just grab a random guy off the street tonight and sleep with him, and we'll still get married tomorrow!"
"No, my darling, don't be in such a hurry! I have my reasons for not daring to disobey Xiang Pengfei!"
"What happened?"
Wu Shanshan asked, puzzled, "Do you have something on him that he can use against you?"
Zhou Chengzhi gave Wu Shanshan a thumbs-up and said, "Smart! Wife, you're smarter than me!"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what happened."
"It's all because of you. You told me to take revenge on the Zhuang family. I sent Liu Wu and Hao Liu to drive and deal with that old woman from the Zhuang family. But Xiang Pengfei saw us passing by. Sigh, I had no choice. I originally didn't want Xiang Pengfei to marry my sister, but because of this, I even handed over my household registration book!"
When Wu Shanshan heard that it was still because of her, her heart softened immediately, and she said, "Alright! Since you're still a man, I won't look for anyone else, I'll just focus on serving you!"
Zhou Chengzhi was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my wife!"
Wu Shanshan pondered for a moment on the sofa, then said, "Let's just forget about the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. I don't want you to go to jail, do I? If you implicate me again then, neither of us will have a good outcome!"
Zhou Chengzhi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, even if the police shoot me, I won't betray you!"
"Fine! At least you have a conscience!"
"Thank you for your understanding, darling!"
“Since we can’t get married with them, let’s hold our wedding banquet before them. After all, you’re the older brother and she’s the younger sister. How can a younger sister get married before her older brother? Don’t you think so?”
"Yes, yes, my wife is right. We'll do it your way. I'll immediately arrange for Liu Wu and Hao Liu to decorate the kindergarten for a big banquet tomorrow!"
"You want to hold your wedding banquet at the kindergarten?"
"What's wrong?"
"Isn't this too embarrassing? No, we need to find a bigger restaurant!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you. We'll have the wedding banquet at Deyuelou tomorrow, and invite our parents and all the neighbors in the area!"
Wu Shanshan said irritably, "Aren't you going to invite the Zhuang family?"
"Ah! If we don't invite the dealer, are there any houses left in that alley?"
"Yes! Of course! It's Wang Yong, Uncle Wang, who bought our family books this morning!"
"Him? We're not related at all. Wouldn't it be a little awkward to invite him?"
"You don't need to invite them, I'll do it. You just need to arrange the wedding banquet!"
"Alright! I'll go to Deyuelou right now and make the arrangements. I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chengzhi stood up and headed to Deyuelou.
"stop!"
Zhou Chengzhi, who had only taken two steps, hurriedly turned around and said, "What's wrong again, Grandma!"
Wu Shanshan smiled and took two quick steps, saying, "You go to Deyuelou, I'll go tell Mom and Dad to have some fun tomorrow!"
"Great! Let's go!"
Zhou Chengzhi immediately put his arm around Wu Shanshan's waist, and the two of them walked out of the office together. When they arrived at the kindergarten gate, they saw Wang Yong riding by on a bicycle.
Wu Shanshan hurriedly said, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!"
Wang Yong got out of the car and said, "What's wrong, Shanshan? I'm not buying the book anymore. That ten yuan was my secret stash of money saved up over half a month. Your aunt is very strict!"
Wu Shanshan said with a smile, "I won't let you buy books. Tomorrow, Chengzhi and I are having our wedding banquet, and you'll be attending!"
"Really? That's great! Where are we having the banquet?"
"Deyuelou!"
"Wow! Such a high-class place? I've never been there before. I'm afraid I can't even afford to pay this gift."
"No need for monetary gifts, just bring your mouth!"
"Okay, okay, then all five of us will go!"
"Alright, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After Wang Yong finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and left.
Zhou Chengzhi also got into the car and went to Deyuelou to make arrangements.
Wu Shanshan crossed the road, ignoring Zhuang Tunan and his sister, and not even greeting the busy Song Ying. She went straight into the alley, arrived at her doorstep, and called out, "Dad, Mom, are you home?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, someone in the family said, "Get out! Your parents aren't here!"
