"Don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety." He said this in a deep voice, but he did not tell his family his solution. He just asked everyone to eat quickly.
Zhao Yun originally wanted to let the matter pass. Even if Chen Lijuan had bad intentions, the worst that could happen was that they would fall out. Since she could do it on the first day, then I could do it on the fifteenth.
Two days later was Sun Ning's wedding. As family members living in the same housing compound, Zhao Yun and Song Zhi went together.
When the two of them were leaving, they happened to run into Qian Jiali. Song Zhi and Zhao Yun saw her and exchanged glances with her. Zhao Yun felt it would be impolite not to say anything: "Are you going to Sun Ning's place?"
"Yes, you too?"
"Well, let's go together?" When Zhao Yun said this, the three of them were silent for a moment. Then Qian Jiali smiled and said, "Okay! The road is only this wide, so we have to go together anyway."
What she meant was that the road was only this wide. If they came out together, they couldn't walk together even if they didn't. If they kept chatting, they would have talked about everything else. Song Zhi didn't indulge her bad habits and said lightly, "Then you can go first. We'll go later."
Zhao Yun was also stunned. He didn't expect Song Zhi to say this suddenly. In his impression, Song Zhi was always friendly and had never directly confronted anyone.
When Qian Jiali heard Song Zhi say this, she subconsciously looked at Zhao Yun. Perhaps she wanted Zhao Yun to give her a way out, but Zhao Yun just stared blankly and said nothing, as if he didn't see the explosive look on their faces.
After a few seconds of silence, she didn't want to lose face anymore, so she snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, saying viciously: "Then you just wait here!"
Zhao Yun wanted to say something but stopped herself. However, it was not easy to persuade her anymore. After all, she was disgusted by Qian Jiali's mean behavior when Song Zhijia invited her to dinner last time. However, she thought it would be inappropriate for neighbors to meet without talking, so she had to keep up appearances.
"She interrupted me just now and I forgot to ask you, how much do you plan to give to Sun Ning and his family when they get married?" Zhao Yun suddenly remembered the most important thing and changed the subject.
"I was just about to ask my aunt. I just came here and I don't know how much is appropriate." Song Zhi turned his head and asked curiously.
"People with good relationships usually give one or two yuan, while those with average relationships usually give fifty, twenty, or thirty cents. I thought we would only meet Sun Ning when we buy things, so giving fifty cents is already very good." Zhao Yun glanced at Song Zhi and explained how they had given gifts in the past.
Song Zhi nodded after hearing this and said, "Then I'll follow my aunt's lead and pay fifty cents."
Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Song Zhi usually spent money lavishly. If she gave a few dollars at once, and they went together, the host would inevitably criticize her for giving different gifts.
When they arrived at Sun Da's house, the bride had not yet arrived, and there were already many people sitting scattered around the yard.
Aunt Zhao said that because Sun Ning had no family members on her side, and perhaps for convenience, all the relatives and friends of both the man and the woman gathered on the man's side, which made it easier to make unified arrangements.
Some people looked at Song Zhi curiously, and Song Zhi smiled back appropriately. After sitting down with Zhao Yun, someone asked curiously, "Why hasn't the bride come yet?" Seeing that it was getting late, it was time for her to arrive, and Sun Ning lived very close to here.
The wedding, which everyone had been looking forward to for a long time, became a little tense because of the bride's delay. It was a rare wedding in the compound.
Many people came, and everyone was talking about it, full of doubts and curiosity. Although Sun Daguo's family and friends had made careful preparations and the courtyard was decorated very festively, without the participation of the bride, the festive atmosphere seemed to be lacking.
"Maybe something unexpected happened, but it shouldn't be a big deal." Someone guessed, but even she herself couldn't be too sure about what she said. After all, anyone who had ever gotten along with the old lady of the Sun family knew how scoundrel she was, so there was no guarantee that an accident wouldn't happen.
"It's also possible that the bride is still putting on makeup and needs more time to get ready," another person chimed in.
Zhao Yun was also quite puzzled, but he smiled and replied, "It's normal to have some minor incidents at a wedding. There's nothing to worry about. After all, marriage is more than just a wedding. As long as the couple is happy and harmonious after marriage, that's all that matters."
Everyone present agreed with what was said and started talking about other topics.
While everyone waited for the bride, Sun Daguo's family and friends began chatting with each other. Soon, they got to know each other better, and even the smiles on everyone's faces softened. The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy, bathed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
Finally, after a long wait, the bride arrived, and the whole scene suddenly became joyous. She was wearing a military green uniform, which might have been modified. It looked perfect for her figure, as if it was tailor-made for her. However, a closer look revealed that her expression was not pretty, and she was holding a very stiff smile.
She was holding a little boy's hand. He had a gentle appearance but a determined look in his eyes, revealing a maturity that was not in line with his age. The little boy held his mother's hand tightly and did not show any fear in front of so many people.
Sun Ning didn't expect that the originally happy wedding would end because Sun Daguo's mother would throw a tantrum, demanding that she give the child away and saying that their family would not raise bastards.
Sun Ning had always been bad at speaking. She had learned a little bit from doing business in the past two years, but she couldn't do such a thing as to have a quarrel with an old woman in public. If it weren't for Sun Daguo, she really wanted to give up today. It wasn't like Sun Ning couldn't get married, but she actually let an old woman rub her face in public. Sun's mother didn't do that just two days ago.
"I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long." The bride Sun Ning apologized shyly. Sun Daguo also followed behind the bride and kept apologizing to everyone.
Such a happy event actually makes people feel like an apology meeting.
Everyone smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Happy events are worth waiting for."
The master of ceremonies gave a speech, and after the bride and groom drank the wedding wine, they toasted at each table.
While they were toasting, a chubby little boy ran over. Before the adults could react, the little boy pushed Sun Ning, causing him to stagger.
