Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Moving in together after the wedding
What do you mean? Jiang Ling and Xiao Song have just started dating, so how come they got married?
With his wife Ding Yan by his side, Wei Ming was as quiet as a quail. He never spoke unless necessary and tried hard to reduce his presence.
Even though he really wanted to ask what marriage was like.
Several women from the Finance Department asked one after another, "Are you married to Xiao Song? That's impossible. We see each other every day, and you've never told me about it."
The exposure happened so quickly that Jiang Ling had not expected it.
She laughed dryly and finally came up with a far-fetched excuse after racking her brains. "I didn't have time to buy wedding candies for everyone, so I didn't have the nerve to tell everyone."
At this time, everyone has different understandings of marriage. Some people think that it is not a marriage without a marriage certificate, while others think that it is not a marriage without a wedding banquet.
Although every family is living in hard times nowadays, getting married is a major event that happens only once in a person's life. No matter how hard and difficult life is, a wedding banquet must be held, even if it is a little simple. As long as there is the ceremony of the wedding banquet, it is considered a marriage.
Everyone thought that Jiang Ling had only obtained the marriage certificate and had not had time to hold the wedding banquet, so it was normal that she did not inform her colleagues.
Li Chunjiao: "When you and Xiao Song set up the banquet, you must inform everyone, and we will definitely attend."
At this time, the gift between colleagues is only fifty cents, and it is worth it to be able to bring the whole family together to have fun.
The key is that it is a happy event and everyone likes to share in the joy.
Even Ding Yan said, "Yes, you have to tell us. Since I'm in time today, I must go." At the same time, she felt a little sad. Other young people who got married five or six years later than them already had children, but her belly was still not moving.
They all have to attend the wedding, but there is no love between her and Song Guanshu, so how can they hold a wedding? It will be a burden to both of them.
Jiang Ling couldn't count on Song Guanshu to help her out, so she raised her hand and whispered, "Then I may have some bad news to report to everyone. I've been living in the dormitory recently because my parents and my brother and sister-in-law want to marry me to a divorced man who commits domestic violence."
Jiang Ling didn't know that Zhao Hongyun really planned to marry her to a divorced man, but that didn't stop her from discrediting them.
Since we have fallen out anyway, being kind to the enemy would be cruel to yourself.
Jiang Ling pointed in the direction of Song Guanshu, "I got the marriage certificate with him secretly, and my parents kicked me out of the house after they heard about it, so the wedding banquet that everyone is looking forward to may be ruined."
The weddings are all organized by my parents.
When Ding Yan was young, she married an older man for her brother's future. Although the man was a cadre, he behaved in a refined manner and was quite respectful to her.
She went from being a poor girl to becoming the wife of a leader, and gained the wealth and status that many people dream of.
Only she knows the hardship she has gone through. She has an old man who smells like an old man, difficult stepchildren, and still has no children of her own. She is also criticized by outsiders for being vain...
All this is not what she wants. If possible, Ding Yan would like to start a family with a peer of the same age who is of equal social status, live a poor life together for two years, become rich through hard work, and have two lovely and sensible children, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl.
When she was young, she was fooled by her parents and brothers and agreed to marry the old man without thinking.
When Ding Yan heard from Jiang Ling about her parents and brothers' plans, she felt very involved. She had thought countless times whether her life would be different if she had rejected her parents' request and bravely married her partner at that time.
So when other people heard that Jiang Ling got the certificate without her parents' consent, they thought her behavior was inappropriate.
People of their generation are extremely filial, and have engraved the saying that there are no perfect parents in the world into their bones.
Even though your parents did something wrong, they still gave birth to you and raised you.
What's more, the older sisters are already quite old, and sometimes they treat Jiang Ling like their own child. It's like the sky is falling when they imagine themselves as if their own child was getting married with someone else without telling their parents.
Others put themselves in the parents' shoes and felt that Jiang Ling's behavior was problematic.
Ding Yan put herself in her shoes, admired her courage, and thought she did a good job. "Don't worry, sister. Your parents won't help you with the wedding, but I will. It will definitely be more lively and festive than others."
Jiang Ling was completely stunned. She didn't want a wedding.
If possible, she would rather get a divorce.
"Sister, you are a good person. Precisely because you are a good person, I should not trouble you." She was so anxious that the words burst out of her mouth like a machine gun.
Ding Yan didn't seem to notice that she was declining, and focused on planning the wedding. "You and... Xiao Song, right? You are both employees of the daily chemical factory. I'll talk to my brother and ask him to host your wedding in your factory cafeteria."
Jiang Ling held her hand and said, "Sister, this is too expensive. It's not good."
Ding Yan thought she was reluctant to spend money, "Don't worry, we won't let you spend money. Employees regard the factory as their home, and the factory regards employees as family. It's only natural for parents to help children in need to have a wedding. You don't have to be embarrassed."
This misunderstanding was too huge, and Jiang Ling was definitely not embarrassed.
It's too presumptuous to marry a stranger in public.
Although Song Guanshu is not a stranger, he is worse than a stranger.
At least she doesn't have to be on guard against strangers all the time. If she is with Song Guanshu and is not vigilant all the time, he might plot against her and sell her for money, and she wouldn't even know when she was sold.
Jiang Ling looked at Song Guanshu for help: Comrade, you don’t want to marry me, right? Use your clever little brain and find a suitable reason to refuse.
Song Guanshu doesn't like the spotlight, and holding his wedding in the factory cafeteria won't bring him any benefits.
He attended the wedding of a colleague and neighbor, where the bride and groom performed like monkeys.
He never thought he would get married, let alone have a wedding.
But Jiang Ling didn't want a wedding either.
So Song Guanshu said, "Then I'll have to trouble Sister Ding."
"Oh, this boy has such a sweet mouth." In fact, he didn't say anything nice, but the words felt different coming from the beautiful woman's mouth.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but glare at him in frustration. What's wrong with this guy?
Song Guanshu said sympathetically, "I know you are afraid of bothering Sister Ding, but Sister Ding is really willing to help. Let's not refuse, or we will disappoint Sister Ding's efforts."
These few days in the Finance Department, Jiang Ling deliberately told everyone that she was a love-brained person with only Song Guanshu in her heart.
Now this love-brained personality has become an obstacle for her. It is impossible for a love-brained person to refuse a wedding with her beloved.
We are no longer in the period of destroying the four olds, and people pay attention to finding a good day for weddings and funerals.
Even the calendar had written down the auspicious and unlucky things for each day. Ding Yan glanced at the calendar and made a dictatorial decision, "This Sunday is a good day for getting married and having a holiday."
Wei Ming held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Sister Yan, after all, it's the couple's business, it's not good for us outsiders to interfere."
He just squatted there and didn't say anything. Everyone thought that there was no such person in the room.
Even though Wei Ming is a man, Ding Yan is the one who calls the shots at home.
After he finished speaking, Ding Yan didn't even look at him and continued to talk to everyone, "I'll go upstairs and tell my brother, and I'll be down soon."
She glanced at her watch and realized that it was almost time to get off work. "Xiao Song and Xiao Jiang, don't rush to get off work yet. Wait until I come back."
After Ding Yan finished saying this, not only could Song Guanshu and Jiang Ling not leave, but the others who were waiting to watch the fun were no longer in a hurry to go home to cook for their husbands and children. Three to five minutes wouldn't matter anyway.
It took no more than five minutes to go up and down the stairs, but Ding Yan didn't expect that it took more than half an hour. All the staff in the office building had left, but the dim lights in their Finance Department's office were on.
Some workers who got off work late saw this scene and thought that the factory was going to pay wages again and the finance department was counting them quickly.
Watching the sky gradually darken, Jiang Ling thought sadly that she might not be able to eat tonight, as the canteen's dinner supply depended on the amount of leftovers from lunch.
If there is more leftovers at noon, the dinner supply will be abundant.
There was little left at noon, so I had to go hungry.
When it was completely dark, Ding Yan finally went downstairs.
"Sorry, something happened upstairs that delayed me."
Jiang Ling wanted to save her again. She said very considerately, "Sister Ding, if it's inconvenient, forget it. Don't let it affect your relationship with Director Ding."
Ding Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you thinking, girl? I met an acquaintance in his office. I can't say this in front of outsiders. I waited until now for them to finish talking."
She felt that her family's good life was built on her suffering, and that her family owed her something, so she felt it was justified to ask her family to help her.
The Ding family did respond to Ding Yan's every request, but it was not entirely out of a sense of indebtedness.
Although Ding Yan's ex-husband is dead, her subordinates are still in their positions and they all give her face. These are all very useful connections, so of course the Ding family has to continue to support her.
"Your factory director agreed without hesitation and asked the canteen to be cleaned and decorated in advance. He will personally be your witness. All expenses will be covered by the factory, so you don't have to worry about anything."
"Sister Ding, this is too much trouble. Don't do it."
"Silly girl, if you hold an event, the cafeteria staff can make some money from it, and they are happy to do it."
"What will the other young workers in the factory think of the special treatment?"
Ding Yan doesn't care what others think, these are her brother's concerns.
"Your factory manager said that something bad just happened in the factory, and he wanted to use your wedding as a diversion so that everyone in the factory can be happy together. However, the wedding banquet is hosted by the factory, and you cannot accept gifts. You just want to join in the fun."
Seeing that Jiang Ling wanted to say something else, Ding Yan patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you refuse again, you will be immature. Be obedient."
It is obvious that Ding Yan is the one who calls the shots both at home and outside, and she will not tolerate anyone disobeying her.
Jiang Ling couldn't have imagined that just by going to work, she could arrange a wedding banquet within half an hour.
What worried her was not the wedding but moving in together after the wedding.
