Ah Fen was stunned, and it took her a long time to realize that Xia Linsheng was angry and didn't want her to arrange the wedding.
Ah Fen quickly smiled apologetically:
"This... Linsheng, look at what you said. You never told me before that we were going to get married when we came back to visit relatives, so we didn't prepare for the time being. Well, don't be angry. Just give me the money back. I... I'll go to the Yu family tomorrow to get married. If it's not enough, I can add more money myself. I'll make sure it's done properly."
Xia Linsheng picked up his chopsticks and started eating quickly: "No thanks. I don't want to trouble you, mother."
Afen looked at Xia Linsheng with a stern face, not daring to say a word, and kept poking Xia Xiangdong under the table.
Xia Xiangdong frowned, put down his chopsticks with a "pop", and put on a friendly face: "Rinsheng, let your mother do it. Getting married is a big deal, it's not good for you to do it alone."
Xia Linsheng said nothing and just ate his meal.
Xia Xiangdong was even more stern. "Why are you so stern? This was really hastily arranged. You didn't even discuss it with us beforehand, and you just decided on it in such a hurry. You didn't even prepare anything at home. There must be a lot of room for money. If you have money, you can give more. If you don't, we can discuss it. Why are you just saying this in anger? Are there any rules?"
Xia Linsheng had finished his meal, put down his bowl, straightened his back, and placed his hands on his knees:
"Haste? Dad, I'm already thirteen. In our production team, when I was my age, we already had two or three children. You say I got married hastily? Then why do you always tell me in your letters that Mom is worried that my younger brother won't have a house when he gets married, so she wants to build a new one and asks me to send money back home when I have money? Why is it that my younger brother should be worrying about getting married at thirteen, but I was rushed at thirteen?"
"I..." Xia Xiangdong was speechless.
Xia Linsheng is not finished yet:
"This marriage has been planned for ten years, and my family hasn't made any preparations. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that? Fortunately, the Yu family didn't make a fuss. Otherwise, even if I wanted to get married in a hurry, no one would be willing to marry me!"
Xia Linsheng said this and stood up in a flash, scaring his younger brothers and sisters who were eating with him so much that they all stopped what they were doing and craned their necks to look at him.
"You, you are really getting too arrogant. Can't I say anything to you?" Xia Xiangdong wanted to continue to act like a father, but when he looked at his tall son, he finally softened his tone.
Xia Linsheng didn't buy it, his expression was cold and he said:
"You can say I can, but you have to be reasonable! If you think I'm rushing the wedding, then I'll do it all myself. If you think it's my parents, then come and lend a hand. If you think what I said yesterday is unreasonable, then we can separate before the wedding!"
Ah Fen was so frightened that she apologized on the spot. This adopted son of hers was already a company commander, and who knew what rank he would be promoted to in the future, so how could she possibly offend him?
Afen chased after Xia Linsheng, repeatedly saying that she was not clear about the concept of marriage, so she didn't think it through, and begged for mercy in various ways.
After two days of flattery, Xia Linsheng's expression finally softened a bit, but he continued, "Oh, Mom isn't clear about the marriage plan. Well, I'm the eldest son, and the wedding room should be in the upper east room. Are you clear about this?"
Actually, Xia Linsheng had no intention of moving into the house at the beginning. When he first talked to the Yu family about the marriage, he thought that Yu Sui was young, and he was worried about leaving her alone at home after the marriage. He could let Yu Sui live in her parents' house, so there was no need to worry about the direction of the house here. However, his biological father and stepmother were really not prepared for his marriage, which made him angry. He simply started to complain in various ways to give Yu Sui some authority.
When this was mentioned, Afen felt guilty.
How could she not know the rule that the eldest son's family must live in the upper house?
She was simply trying every possible means to monopolize the upper room so as to suppress her son.
Now that Xia Linsheng had pointed it out, Ah Fen didn't dare to say anything for a moment.
Xia Xiangdong understood this, and he had figured it out in the past few days. Doesn't the family rely on this son? If the family really splits up, how can he, who is often sick and unable to work, get the money to support his younger son and daughter?
"Indeed, we should move right away." Xia Xiangdong immediately expressed his opinion and pretended to blame his wife: "You are such a useless woman. You have to be so bold as to say such things!"
But even so, Xia Linsheng did not agree to let Afen handle the wedding arrangements, but started to take care of it himself.
He hired someone to renovate the room, and also had a custom-made wedding bed made. He even figured out how to do women's work such as sewing and making quilts himself.
He didn't care about these things at first, but when Sun Yuying explained the entire wedding process to him in detail, he finally understood that all these things in marriage were filled with beautiful blessings. He was really angry that his biological father and stepmother knew that he was getting married but hadn't made any move.
They are too casual.
It doesn't matter. She doesn't have him as her son in her heart. Even if she does it for the sake of money, it won't be done well.
Yu Sui is the one he is going to marry, and he should welcome her to his home with great ceremony, so he should do it himself.
Xia Linsheng was busy every day, looking forward to marrying his young wife, but now he was so busy with these things that he had no time to visit her. This made Xia Linsheng even more angry with his biological father and stepmother, and he could only comfort himself by thinking about his young wife's rosy face.
When Xia Dongping arrived at Xia Linsheng's house, Xia Linsheng was holding a piece of cloth and thinking about how to ask someone to sew a curtain as beautiful as the ones made by city people.
He saw Xia Dongping coming and smiled: "Sister, why are you here? What do you want to tell me? It's just right, can you show me, is this how to do the curtains?"
Xia Dongping felt very sad when she saw her cousin who had lost his mother since childhood.
When the child marriage was first arranged, it was she who brought it up. The birth dates of the youngest daughter of the Yu family were compatible, so the marriage was later arranged.
But gradually, everyone in the village said that Yu Sui was lazy, brainless, and careless, and Xia Dongping felt sorry for Xia Linsheng.
A while ago, news broke that Yu Sui had hanged herself, which made Xia Dongping so upset that she secretly swore that she would never propose marriage to anyone again in her life.
But unexpectedly, after Xia Linsheng came back to see Yu Sui, he went to Xia Dongping's house happily and told Xia Dongping that when he arrived at the village entrance, Yu Sui didn't recognize him, but didn't dare to ride his bicycle, saying that she had a boyfriend and it was not easy for her to ride someone else's bicycle. It can be seen that she has him in her heart, and nothing others say can compare to Yu Sui's love for him.
Said he wanted to get married right away.
Xia Dongping had never seen Xia Linsheng look so happy, and she thought that Yu Sui was still lucky. Xia Linsheng could make money outside. Even if Yu Sui was a little lazy, she was not old, and she was still young. She would probably be better when she grew up. After all, Sun Yuying was a kind person, and Yu Haichao was an honest man. He bought the pigs and looked after them in the pen. Even for the sake of such parents, let it be.
Xia Linsheng had no biological mother, and if he wanted to find another marriage without anyone to arrange it, it might not be as good as this family.
Xia Dongping nodded and helped choose a date.
Just when I was about to get home, something like this suddenly happened.
Alas, Yu Sui is still unlucky!
