When the meal was almost finished, the bride came out to serve tea.
Yan Manting did not wear a wedding dress, but a heroic green military uniform, which is popular nowadays. Zhao Yong next to her also wore it.
Her mouth and cheeks were painted red with rouge, and she had two braids with two flowers made of red hairbands tied on them.
The people at the table were chatting.
"Alas, Zhao Yong has only been back for a few days, and he's already got married. When will my son have the same day?"
The person who was speaking was Yin Hong. Li Duoliang looked like that, but he was unwilling to settle for someone similar to him. She wanted him to be single for the rest of his life.
"I heard they got the marriage certificate yesterday, which isn't a very auspicious day. Do you think they were in such a hurry to get it done because they were pregnant?"
Grandma Li was the most unforgiving with her words, and she deliberately glanced in Lu Lan's direction while she spoke.
Zhao Meiya glared back, "You still have the food you just ate in your stomach, what are you guessing? Even if you have a child, it's double happiness, what a wonderful thing. Times have changed now."
"Humph, you're just being nice now, but wait until your daughter comes back with a baby for no apparent reason, and see if you can still smile."
Zhao Meiya threw chopsticks at her face, "What the hell are you talking about? How dare you curse my daughter?
No matter how she comes back, I can still smile. One child is nothing. I would be happier if she could bring back three or four handsome sons-in-law."
He Ruixue almost choked when she heard her mother's bold words.
My goodness, are they looking for a son-in-law or recruiting long-term workers, and then sending them all back to the village to farm. This is a different kind of scam, right?
She quickly put down her chopsticks to stop the two from arguing, and pulled Zhao Meiya's sleeve, "Mom, how much do you think I should pay for the tea later?"
"It's just ten cents. The gift money is only one dollar. It's not worth it to give more."
The old lady suddenly grimaced and muttered, "Oh, what a loss! You had to get married outside and didn't even have a banquet. How much money did you lose?"
"Otherwise, come back and do it again."
"Forget it. I'm busy treating people to dinner just for this little money. It's not like I have nothing to do."
He Ruixue shook her head, took out two cents, and handed one to Zhao Meiya.
Then when the bride brought the tea over, he quickly took it with both hands and said, "Congratulations, may you have a happy marriage and a baby soon."
Zhao Yong happily took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Zhao Meiya's pocket. "Auntie, thank you for your help in introducing me. That's how I got to know such a good daughter-in-law like Manting."
Yan Manting also nodded. "Thank you, Auntie. You've always taken care of me in the village and thought about finding a partner for me. Let's get to know each other more often in the future. If you have anything to say, just let me know."
Zhao Meiya said a few polite words and waved goodbye to the newlyweds.
She reached into her pocket to feel the weight of the red envelope, but was afraid that it was not accurate, so she quietly opened it and took a look. She found five one-dollar bills inside, and she immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"The Zhao family is really generous. This marriage is the right one."
"Yeah, they're a good match."
He Ruixue tasted the sugar water in the cup. How should I put it? It was a bit light and slightly sweet.
After drinking, she put the money in the cup and waited for someone to collect it.
Everything was going well, but halfway through the banquet, about a dozen people suddenly broke in from outside.
There were people of all ages, and two of them grabbed the bride and started dragging her out without saying a word.
Is this a marriage robbery?
Just as He Ruixue was about to speak, Zhao Meiya grabbed her arm and took out the pumpkin seeds she hadn't finished eating from her pocket. "Sit down and watch the fun. Don't get involved in other people's affairs."
The Zhao family is not someone to be trifled with. Zhao Yong shouted, and many people came out of the house.
When the two groups were confronting each other, a middle-aged woman came in and started making a fuss.
"Is there any justice in the world? You are forcibly snatching someone else's daughter. My daughter is getting married and you didn't even inform my family.
Without even asking for a betrothal gift or anything, she's already become a member of your family. That's a really good plan."
Yan Manting resisted, "Mom, I've kept all the betrothal gifts they gave me. You didn't leave me any dowry anyway, so let's just consider it as an offset."
In fact, she didn't want a dowry, but in order to show fairness, the Zhao family followed the example of marrying Zhao Gang.
The man became even more angry and poked her forehead and cursed, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You didn't even inform your family about getting married. How could I have given birth to such an unfilial and indecent thing like you?"
She was unmoved. "When you asked me to go to the countryside to replace my second brother, I severed ties with you. My marriage has nothing to do with you."
The middle-aged man behind stood up and said, "How can you talk to your mother like that? You just break up with her. It's easy to repay the kindness of raising you, but how are you going to repay the kindness of giving birth to you?
Your mother and I gave birth to you and raised you, and now we've created an enemy. Go back now. We don't agree with who you're marrying!"
Zhao Yong held Yan Manting's hand. Perhaps he had known something for a long time, so he didn't seem surprised at this moment.
He stood in front of her and said firmly, "It's her freedom to marry whomever she wants. We've already got the marriage certificate. If you keep making trouble, I'll call the police."
"What, you got the marriage certificate? Oh, you little bitch, how badly do you want to get married? You can't even wait a moment. How am I going to explain this to them?"
The woman kept hitting her back and said, "Go call the police! You're kidnapping someone's daughter and you think you're justified. Let's see who gets justice today!"
During the argument, a woman in her thirties with a bun walked in with a grim expression.
"Yan family, what did our two families agree on? You said you wanted to marry Manting to my son. Now your daughter is already married. What do you think we should do? My son can't marry a divorced woman."
