Song Wenshan and Wang Chunhua on the side looked constipated. They didn't even think about giving some of the betrothal gift to Song Li. Even Bai Jie said so, Song Wenshan could only reluctantly take out two pieces of Zhang Datuan from the one dollar betrothal gift and hand them to Song Li with a painful look on his face.
"Li Li, this two hundred yuan is given to you by your mother-in-law. You... don't thank your mother-in-law yet?" He paused deliberately and glanced at Song Li's injured leg suggestively. "Your leg is injured. If it's inconvenient for you, let your mother take you to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county later." As he said this, he was about to stuff the money in his pocket into Wang Chunhua's pocket.
Song Li quickly stretched out her hand to take the money from Song Wenshan's pocket, and thanked Bai Jie sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie." After that, she turned to Song Wenshan and said, "Dad, the doctor has checked my leg, and it's just some superficial injuries, it's nothing serious. Besides, I don't want to buy things from the supply and marketing cooperative in the county. When I get to the capital, I want to go to the state-owned stores in the capital. I heard that there are many kinds of things in the state-owned stores in the capital.
Mom said today that the crops at home are about to be harvested and she is anxious to go home. I don’t want to waste Mom’s time.”
Bai Jie said, "Lili, if you want to go to the state-owned store in the capital, wait until we get to the capital and I'll go with you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"Why are you being so polite? Now that you're married into my family, you're like my own daughter. You don't have to be so polite anymore."
Song Li nodded obediently.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting and seemed to have forgotten that there were other people in the room.
Wang Chunhua was so angry that her lungs ached. What an ungrateful person! When did she ever say she wanted to harvest the family’s crops?
Wang Chunhua looked at Song Li with jealous eyes, wishing she could rush up and snatch the two big bags from Song Li's body. That was the Song family's money, how could Song Li, an outsider, take it?
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Just when she was about to find an excuse to leave, her sleeve was pulled by Song Wenshan.
Wang Chunhua looked at Song Wenshan unwillingly, and Song Wenshan shook his head at her.
Stupid women don't understand anything. He was reluctant to give Song Li the two hundred yuan, but he couldn't show it in front of his in-laws. Besides, he couldn't let Song Li take the two hundred yuan for nothing.
When Song Li marries into the Fu family, he will find a way to get her from other sources.
Wang Chunhua could only watch helplessly as Song Li stuffed the money into her pocket, which hurt like a piece of flesh being cut out of her body.
On the way to the state-owned hotel, she didn't even come to her senses. She hung her head, looked painful, and glanced into Song Li's pocket without any disguise.
Fortunately, Song Wenshan and Song Cheng were watching, so she didn't dare to do anything outrageous.
When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, Wei Hu had already made arrangements. He arranged a separate room for them. As soon as they entered the room, Wang Chunhua's aching heart finally calmed down a little.
The meal was arranged by Wei Hu, and it was very rich, with fish, chicken and meat. It was as rich as the New Year's meal in the countryside, and even richer than what the Song family ate during the New Year.
As soon as Wang Chunhua and Song Cheng entered the room, their eyes were attracted by the delicious food on the table, and their stomachs started to swell as expected.
Song Wenshan was going crazy with Wang Chunhua's unpresentable performance.
Have you never seen food before? Are you insulting Song Wenshan in front of my in-laws?
Song Cheng is young and gets hungry easily, which is understandable.
You are an old woman who is almost five years old. What kind of hunger have you not experienced? You feel hungry when your in-laws invite you to dinner? Isn't this a disgrace to Song Wenshan and his Song family?
Although he was so drunk by the food on the table, he at least remembered today's occasion.
Song Wenshan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He wanted to rush up and drag Wang Chunhua out of the door. To be confronted with such a stupid woman, his reputation was completely ruined by her.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Bai Jie probably encountered this kind of situation for the first time. After a brief pause, she quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Please sit down, dear relatives. It's getting late. It's past dinner time. I think everyone is hungry. Please sit down and eat."
Song Wenshan blushed and didn't dare to look Bai Jie in the eye, for fear of seeing disgust on Bai Jie's face.
He lowered his head and said something polite, then he moved slowly to the dining table and sat down as if several pounds heavier.
Wang Chunhua wanted to hide her head. She knew she was embarrassed and her stomach was rumbling, and she couldn't control it.
She covered her rumbling belly with her hand and sat down next to Song Wenshan.
As soon as her butt touched the bench, she felt Song Wenshan's deadly gaze next to her, so she quickly stood up and exchanged seats with Song Cheng next to her.
She had disgraced the boss today, and he must be eager to tear her to pieces right now, so she'd better stay away from him.
Others sat on the stools one after another.
Song Li was sitting next to Bai Jie. She was a little hungry, but not yet at the stage where she would swallow water when she saw the delicious food.
Song Li did not react much to the reactions of Song Cheng's mother and daughter. After all, it was not her who was embarrassed, so there was no reason for her to be embarrassed.
Song Wenshan wanted to show off a few words before the meal, but he was too embarrassed to do so at the moment. He had prepared a lot of drafts, but Wang Chunhua and Song Cheng's constant voices completely disrupted the rhythm.
Damn it, today in front of his in-laws, he has completely lost face and heart.
Bai Jie and his companions had seen the world before, so they seemed not to have heard Wang Chunhua and Song Cheng's rumbling stomachs and invited everyone to eat as usual.
As Bai Jie picked up a chicken leg and put it into Song Li's bowl, this tempting meal finally began.
Perhaps because the food was so delicious, the Song family's entire attention was focused on the food. The only sounds that could be heard during the meal were the sound of chopsticks picking up food and the sound of Song Cheng and Wang Chunhua wolfing down their food.
Song Li took the time to look at Song Wenshan. Her originally constipated face had now wrinkled into a wild chrysanthemum.
His face looked grim, but his chopstick movements did not slow down at all.
Song Li: "..." The whole family is awesome!
After dinner, Song Wenshan went to the state-owned hotel and became active again.
He rubbed his lips and said with an embarrassed look, "My dear relatives, I originally planned to invite you to my home, but you are in a hurry. I won't keep you. When I have time, you must come to my home and sit down."
Bai Jie was in a hurry to go back, and she said this on the way to the state-owned hotel.
Not only did Song Wenshan have no objection, he was also looking forward to them leaving quickly.
Bai Jie looked apologetic, "My dear, I'm really sorry. We came in a hurry and left in a hurry. We were rude. Next time, I will let Yanci come to your house and apologize in person."
Song Wenshan said considerately, "My dear, Xiao Fu has a special job and cannot come in person. We understand. You don't have to apologize. When Xiao Fu has time, come to our house for a meal and get to know us."
After a few pleasantries, Li Gang at the side saw that the time was about right, so he spoke up to break the greeting.
"Comrade Bai, we should go."
Li Gang bought the ticket back to the capital while he was having dinner. Now there was less than an hour left before the train departed.
It takes about two minutes to walk from the state-owned hotel to the train station, and with Song Li being a slow walker, it takes even more time.
Bai Jie stopped talking and said politely, "My dear, we have to leave. When you are free, we must come to the imperial capital."
Song Wenshan quickly responded, "Of course, of course. When we have time, our family will definitely go to the imperial capital to visit our in-laws and Lili."
Song Wenshan wanted to take Bai Jie and his group to the train station, but Bai Jie politely declined.
Watching Bai Jie and his group leave, Song Wenshan covered his back tightly.
There is a huge sum of 800 yuan in it, which is the hope of their Song family and cannot be lost.
It's a pity, the two hundred yuan is a bargain for Song Li.
