Yan Lijun was extremely nervous when she heard the conversation between her mother-in-law and the others, but she did not dare to speak out, fearing that she would not even be able to get through the door.

The bride arrived, and Xu Huaizhi carried Xu Huaiyu out of the house and placed her on a bench in the main room. A group of old men chatted and teased Xu Huaiyu.

Yan Lijun sat among a group of women, listening to their gossip, feeling very uncomfortable.

At almost half past one, the kitchen was ready and most of the guests had arrived. There were tables filled with food in the yard and the main room, and everyone was waiting for dinner.

The aroma coming from the kitchen makes people salivate and look forward to it.

Liu Guifang asked Yan Lijun: "Lijun, where is your bride's escort? It's already past half an hour, why hasn't he come yet?"

Yan Lijun was so anxious that her palms were sweating, knowing that waiting any longer would only make things worse.

She made up her mind and said, "We don't have anyone to send off the bride. My eldest brother is getting married today, and the family is too busy to take care of it."

One stone stirs up ripples.

"What? No one is sending you off to marry?"

"Are you here alone?"

"Didn't they say there would be three turns and one ring? Could it be pulled over from the back?"

…

Everyone was talking about it.

Liu Guifang was furious. Seeing Yan Lijun's ugly face, she had a very bad feeling in her heart.

"If the people don't come, what about the betrothal gifts? What about the three turns and one ring that our family sent? When will it be brought over?"

Yan Lijun looked at her apologetically and decided to tell the truth in order to get lenient treatment.

"Mom, I'm so sorry. I...my eldest brother got married, and my family kept two yuan and one ring from the betrothal gift and brought me a watch." God knows she was shaking when she said this.

She had a feeling that once these words were spoken, today's wedding would be over.

Sure enough, Liu Guifang almost fainted from being out of breath, and was woken up by Yang Fengmei pinching her Ren Zhong.

Not only the women, but the men were also excited and everyone started discussing it heatedly.

This is simply the biggest joke of the Xu family this year. It is even more shocking than when Xu Meiling won over the golden bachelor Chen Jianghe a few years ago.

The Xu family didn't want this to happen, right? They spent the whole day hunting geese and got their eyes pecked by them.

Liu Guifang boasted every day about how her youngest son had found a very beautiful city daughter-in-law, but it turned out that she was a poor woman and even kept her daughter's betrothal gift to use for her son's marriage. Isn't this selling out her daughter?

There were all kinds of opinions at once.

Most people pretended to let Liu Guifang take it easy, but in fact they were laughing at her and were very happy.

Xu Huaiyu was not feeling well at first, but he forced himself to attend the wedding. As a result, his fiancée stabbed him in the back so hard that he couldn't get off the stage. He was already in a bad mood, and after being stimulated, he fainted.

Fortunately, the barefoot doctor was at the scene, took a look and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just a rage attack, just take a rest for a while."

He fainted at the right time, just in time to avoid everyone's ridicule.

Xu Mingshan's face turned pale and he had to stand up and speak to appease the guest.

Xu Huaizhi didn't expect such a change to happen. He couldn't tell how he felt in his heart, but after all, one takes the fight and the other takes the punishment.

He had advised Xu Huaiyu at the beginning that it was not easy to find a girl in the city. If you wanted her city status, she would also want something from you.

Otherwise, who would marry into your family after having enough food to eat?

Most of the time, people weigh the pros and cons between each other. There is no love without reason.

Liu Guifang couldn't bear to lose face anymore. Losing such a large sum of money made her extremely distressed. She insisted on grabbing Yan Lijun and trying to beat her up.

"Your Yan family is such a poor family that you have to rely on the betrothal gift from selling your daughter to marry your son. I don't care. You must return the betrothal gift to me intact today, or I will sue you."

"Mom, I'm sorry, I can't help it."

Yan Lijun apologized humbly. She was alone in a group of people, fighting alone. Xu Huaiyu fainted and no one said a word for her. If he was awake, there would be one more person to attack her.

Several old ladies who were on good terms with Liu Guifang helped her to curse people, and what they said were very ugly, especially Yang Fengmei, who insulted Yan Lijun very much.

Yan Lijun cried and apologized, feeling humble, helpless, and in pain...

Seeing how things had gotten so chaotic, Chen Fengqin wanted to just leave. However, when she saw a young girl like her being surrounded and scolded by a group of old ladies, she felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she was the director of the women's department, and she had to speak when it was necessary.

"Stop swearing! Please be more polite. She is just a little girl and cannot make decisions for her parents. Who would be willing to give her betrothal gift to someone else?

In my opinion, the one who tied the bell should be the one who can untie it. Sister Liu, you should consult your in-laws about this matter. It is useless to scold the little girl. "Chen Fengqin stood up and said a fair word.

The people around nodded: "That's right."

"That's true."

"Chen Fengqin, you don't feel any pain in your waist when you talk while standing, it seems like the incident didn't happen to you.

The Xu family is the victim, do you understand? How can you, a women's director, help evil people persecute the masses? "Yang Fengmei hated Chen Fengqin because of the last conflict.

Chen Fengqin didn't even bother to pay attention to her.

Liu Guifang was moved by Chen Fengqin's words. Yes, the most important thing was to quickly find the Yan family and find a way to get the things back to reduce the losses.

Because of this incident, there was a commotion at the scene, and the person helping in the kitchen asked, "Should we continue with the banquet?"

Of course she had to eat it. After all, Yan Lijun had gotten married to Xu Huaiyu and was a formal member of the Xu family. She couldn't return the goods.

The dish is already cooked, we can't let it go bad in the pot.

But now no one could sit down and have a good meal. After all, something like this had happened in the Xu family. The family was in chaos and they had no time to entertain guests.

Xu Mingshan suppressed his anger and told everyone present to take their bowls to the kitchen to get food, and each of them should get a large bowl to take home and eat.

This is exactly what everyone wants, and the whole family can eat it together when we take it home.

Today the kitchen made a lot of stews because it is winter and the stir-fried dishes get cold in a few minutes and are inedible. So we can make a few pots of stews, which is convenient for everyone to take home and eat.

It was the first time for me to take a banquet home to eat.
