After Jiang Shushu returned, she found a suitable opportunity to tell Lin Sanjun that Li Holland came to see her, so that Lin Sanjun would have an idea.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year again. Half a month before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Mingli got engaged to Sun Lili, and the wedding date was set for the sixth day of February next year.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Mingli brought Sun Lili and her daughter back to Jiangjia Village to celebrate the New Year, and Xu Hehua finally met Sun Lili and her daughter.
Sun Lili is hardworking, sweet-spoken and tactful. Xu Hehua spent two days with Sun Lili and was quite satisfied with her. Generally speaking, everyone had a happy New Year.
After Jiang Mingli and the others left, Jiang He found Jiang Shushu and said, "Your brother and his family have finalized the betrothal gift. Dad wants to talk to you."
"Okay, go ahead." As long as it's not too much, then it's easy to talk about. It's okay to spend a little money to buy peace and quiet.
"Your brother and Xiao Sun are both remarrying and looking to start a new life. The betrothal gift is just a token of appreciation, 66 yuan for a good omen. Your brother is responsible for this, and I don't intend to interfere. Although they are remarrying, we still have to hold a wedding banquet, and we still have to give the proper ceremony and respect to a married woman."
"That's right." The betrothal gift is so small, it would be unreasonable not to hold a wedding banquet. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but now we have to show others the right attitude.
"When the time comes, we'll set up a few tables in the village and have relatives serve as witnesses. Your mother and I still have some money, so I'm planning to pay for the banquet as a courtesy to Xiao Sun. What do you think?"
"Dad, you make the decision on this matter. As long as it's not a matter of principle, I'm easy to talk to your daughter. Just do whatever you want to do boldly and confidently. A few years ago, I was quite annoyed with my eldest brother. He was not a good son and had no principles as a husband.
But he's slowly getting better. As his sister, I also hope he can live a happy life. We're not short of money, so a wedding banquet is the norm. I'll be responsible for the ingredients used for my eldest brother's wedding, and I'll make sure it's a beautiful banquet for him. "How much does a wedding banquet cost? It's worth spending a little to make everyone happy."
"No, no, you insist on giving us five dollars every month from the money your eldest brother sends back. You pay for all our food, drinks, and daily necessities. We have no place to spend this money. We have saved a lot, and the money comes from us." My daughter is responsible for everything for us, and we can't let her pay for it anymore.
"Take Mom out for a walk when you have time. Are you worried that you won't be able to spend the money? Keep the money. Having money in your pocket not only makes you walk with the wind, but also makes you feel refreshed. It's good medicine for the soul. Besides, how much can the ingredients cost? Have you forgotten? Your daughter, I am not short of money."
Jiang He smiled and didn't refuse. "Okay, you don't have to do it too well. Just follow the standards here and don't embarrass Xiao Sun." From now on, it's up to the young couple to decide how to live their lives. I'm old now and can't care about so many things. I'll just follow my daughter obediently.
"Okay, I'll see to it, and I'll follow all the necessary etiquette." You have to be polite before you do anything, right?
On the other hand, Chen Feng returned to her parents' home and learned about Jiang Mingli's engagement and wedding date from her sister-in-law Lin Ping.
Chen Feng knew that Jiang Mingli had found a divorced woman who was inferior to her in every way (not as pretty as her, not as good a figure as her, not as educated as her, and her parents were still a burden), and she felt very unwilling.
Lin Ping looked at Chen Feng's unwilling eyes and laughed in her heart: "Go ahead and make a fuss. It's better to make a fuss. If you can divorce again, it would be the best. Maybe you can even get more betrothal money. Even if you don't divorce, you won't have an easy life in your husband's family."
The Shen family, with its unemployed women huddled together, was a chaotic mess. Shen Zhong and his wife had their second son's family as a support. Lin Ping didn't dare offend them too harshly, and since her two daughters-in-law had their son as a supporter, Lin Ping's role as a mother-in-law was also difficult. Whether with superiors or subordinates, Lin Ping suffered the most, and endured the most hardships. Lin Ping had a grudge that she couldn't vent, and whenever she saw Shen Feng, she wanted to secretly stir up trouble, believing that if I wasn't happy, someone else would be buried with me.
The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the family building. When she came to her senses, she quickly hid herself away. After all, she was now married, so she didn't dare to make a fuss, fearing that she would be beaten when she got home.
Chen Feng didn't know how long she stood there before she saw Jiang Mingli walk out of the family building with a pretty, wheat-colored girl, followed by three children. The three children were playing and playing happily together. Jiang Mingli was considerately carrying three schoolbags.
Seeing this scene, Shen Feng's tears flowed down, because she was the one who stood beside Jiang Mingli without doing anything. Shen Feng regretted it! Especially since her second marriage life was not at all what she had imagined, Shen Feng regretted it even more.
Jiang Mingli felt that someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw Chen Feng. Their eyes met, but there was no change on Jiang Mingli's face. He silently withdrew his gaze, as if Chen Feng was a stranger.
Jiang Mingli continued to lead the group forward. After they walked a distance, he handed the schoolbags to the three children. "Lili, I forgot to take something. I'll go back and get it. You take them to school first."
Sun Lili: "Okay, go ahead."
…
Jiang Mingli walked back with a cold face and found Chen Feng, who was still crying. "Chen Feng, why did you come back? The child has finally adapted. If you dare to make trouble for me, don't blame me for being rude." It really haunts her. How many years have you been divorced? There's nothing to do with her, so why are you crying here? Who are you trying to disgust?
"Am I so unreasonable in your heart?"
"Isn't it? Remember my warning." Jiang Mingli said and was about to leave.
"Jiang Mingli, you haven't married in all these years, and now you're marrying someone who's inferior to me in every way. Don't you think you're ridiculous? Haha... When you didn't remarry me, I thought you were climbing up a high branch, but it turns out you're just like this."
"In my eyes, she's better than you in every way. It's none of your business who I marry. Just take care of yourself. Compared to her, are you any match for me?" You both have your own partners, so why are you throwing a tantrum? You're simply asking for a scolding.
"I'm not worthy? Why should she compare with me? I was the one who gave birth to your child, and it was you, Jiang Mingli, who wronged me. If you hadn't divorced me, I wouldn't be in this situation today."
"After all these years, you haven't changed at all. All the mistakes are everyone else's fault, not yours. You've fallen into this situation today, it's all your own fault. What does it have to do with me? You took the family savings and things during the divorce. For the sake of the children, I also reminded you to keep your job and money in your own hands. Now you have nothing, and I won't take any of the blame for it. You'd better behave yourself, otherwise I won't care about the children's reputation and will beat you to death. I can do it."
Jiang Mingli took two steps without even turning his head: "Don't be so confident all day long. When you have time, go buy a mirror and look in the mirror. If you don't have money, just pee and look at yourself. What do you look like? Don't you have any idea?" How can he compare to Lili?
