Even though the captain said it was time to eat, no one moved and just sat there stupidly.
They were still thinking about what the captain had said just now. Oh my god! What does a betrothal gift of more than 80 yuan mean? They couldn't even come up with 80 yuan.
Xia Yunxuan had not expected Xiao Yichen to do this and let the captain reveal the money. She had to think of a way. From now on, she would definitely not have peace here.
She knew with all her might that these people would definitely come to ask for money again. After all, who wouldn't be jealous when seeing so much money?
Director Yang had not expected that this educated youth Xiao could give such a large gift, which was already the highest amount in the countryside.
Especially when the Xia family and those educated youth heard that Xiao Yichen had given a betrothal gift, the expressions on their faces were particularly interesting.
Sometimes he gritted his teeth, sometimes he frowned, sometimes his face turned dark, and sometimes his mouth started to move. He must be planning something again.
Xiao Yichen dared to report the money in front of everyone. He must have thought of an excuse. He will take his young wife to play in the town tomorrow and then say that he will send the money back to his mother for safekeeping, right?
Isn't it normal for the mother-in-law to manage the money these days? Besides, they don't have a home, so he doesn't worry about where the money is hidden. The young daughter-in-law's affairs are very big, otherwise where did those things come from that day?
He just didn't want to wrong others, and he also wanted to let others see that as long as he liked someone, he would spoil them with his life.
Smart people eat first and don't care how much money others have. Even if it's a lot of money, it's others' and they can't get it. Having a full meal is the most important thing.
Today's banquet hosted by Miss Yun was really an honor. There were so many meat dishes and the portions were big and tasty. Even the vegetarian dishes were greasy.
In the past, it was considered good to have one or two meat dishes at a banquet, and they would only eat a little bit at a time.
In fact, it's not everyone's fault. They are too poor to give so many things. No one knows what kind of fortune Yun has made recently. Look, the dowry she prepared for herself doesn't even cost three yuan. They remember that when they just left the Xia family, they didn't have a penny on them.
No wonder she has been dressing so well and eating meat every day recently. It turns out that she has made money. We are really from the same village. This girl Yun didn’t even tell us how she makes money.
Except for the main table, the tables outside were almost in a fight. Some people even took a bag and poured the meat and vegetables into their own bags.
Especially Gao Meihua, Bai Lanhua, Yun Guilan, those old women, and the two widows, they were really quick to act. As soon as the meat and vegetables were served, they were all eaten up by them.
As for the educated youth, although they usually act very noble, they haven't eaten meat for a long time since they came to the countryside, so they eat very quickly and scoop all the delicious dishes into their own bowls.
The educated youth in the village were even smarter. When it was time to eat, they took out their own bowls and scooped a large bowl of meat and vegetables into the bowl to save for dinner.
It was all because they were too poor, otherwise no one would pack up the food while eating. They never thought that a little country girl could organize such a good banquet and prepare such an expensive dowry for herself.
People around her sneered, it was strange that a little girl like her could come up with the money, it must have been Xiao Yichen who took it, she was just trying to save face.
If she had so much money, the Xia family would kick her out. Even if she was not their biological daughter, they would still be able to raise her.
The most anxious and angry person was Old Man Xia. He didn't expect that this little girl had so much money in her hands, and he didn't know where it came from.
That little girl must have done it on purpose. Her cousin had borrowed so much money from her before, but she said she had no money. Now that they have paid her back, she wants more money. She is really an ungrateful person.
He should not have brought her back home that year. He worked so hard to raise her. Even if she has no credit, it is still hard work. With so much money, he didn't even think of leaving some for her old age.
Look at the banquet this little girl hosted today. All the meat was given to the villagers. What a pity! If we gave the meat to him, how long would it take him to eat it?
The betrothal gift was more than 80 yuan, what kind of concept was that? He had never seen so much money in his life, and he didn't know how this little girl was lucky enough to be favored by a rich man in Beijing.
Why wasn't his own granddaughter chosen? Otherwise, he, as a grandfather, could also benefit from it.
The meal at the main table was very quiet; the dishes were barely touched. There were the team leader, the branch secretary, the accountant, Xia Yunxuan, Xiao Yichen, Director Yang's family, and of course Gu Beihuai, who was watching the light bulb.
When Old Man Xia saw the captain sitting at the main table, he felt very upset. Even though this grandfather was not his biological father, he was still better than the captain.
Gao Meihua saw that there were so many meat dishes today, but this little girl didn't let her cook, but let the captain's wife cook. I don't know how much meat she secretly hid?
I can only say that people with a selfish heart see everything as dirty.
There are so many people busy in the kitchen, they are not like Gao Meihua, who is full of calculations and stealing.
Xiao Yichen picked up the wine and toasted everyone. He drank the wine in one gulp. Xiao Yichen said, "Everyone, please do as you please. I will toast first. Everyone, feel free to eat."
Seeing the groom's attitude, they didn't dare to persuade him to drink. If they got him drunk, he would have important things to do and would be delayed. That would be terrible.
Half an hour later, the people outside finally put down their chopsticks, and the dishes on the table were all gone. Even if there was some food left, it was thrown away.
Even if it is a vegetarian dish, they don't mind it. There is so much oil and water in it, and it tastes so delicious.
It was better than the wild vegetable porridge and sticky rice cakes they usually ate. It had been a long time since they had eaten meat. They only had a little meat during the Chinese New Year, and now it has been almost half a year.
After all the villagers had left, Lu Feilin took out a red envelope and handed it to Xia Yunxuan, saying, "Comrade Xia, this is a small gift from me. I hope you will accept it."
Xia Yunxuan: "Comrade Lu, you just came, why bring gifts? I'm so sorry to bother you to come all the way here. We are all friends now. If there is any happy event in your family in the future, please remember to inform me."
Seeing that the other person was still extending his hand to hand over the red envelope, Xia Yunxuan had no choice but to accept it. If she didn't accept it, she would seem a little hypocritical. Anyway, she would return the gift to the other person when the time came. Favors are all about reciprocity.
Lu Feilin: "Comrade Xia, don't worry. Our Haoran likes you very much. As long as you mention your family, he will run faster than anyone else. We won't go to other people's houses when we are away."
