Chen Xiaojuan was a little unhappy. Her face turned ugly and she said dissatisfiedly, "I don't know what happened. We confirmed it again and again, but it turned out like this! I just called you and your aunt was furious!
I know it's not Xiuying and Yulan's fault. Their family didn't intend to inform these distant relatives. I just don't know who tipped off the family at this time, as if to embarrass us!
Ye Zhiqiu thought about this and asked hurriedly, "Aunt, if they go to check the number of people and there's not enough space, they won't ask people not to come, right?"
Ma Tiejun explained helplessly, "Xiao Ye, the guests we've chosen now are all important friends and relatives of our four families. But the things have already been decided, so we really can't go back and get them."
I was just thinking about whether we could talk it over and let the cousins there suffer. We can go to the girl's side later and set up a few tables to entertain them."
Ye Zhiqiu slapped his thigh and asked hurriedly, "Brother, how long have they been gone? Can you estimate the time? Have they been able to talk after arriving at the place?"
Although Ma Tiejun didn't understand why the question was asked, he checked his watch and replied honestly, "We've only been on the road for half an hour, so we shouldn't have arrived yet. What's wrong with you, Xiaoye?"
Ye Zhiqiu pulled Ma Tiejun out and explained, "Come on, they called to inform you, which means you can also call over there, right?
Go make a call quickly, and when Brother He arrives, have the people over there call Brother He and have him call us back first. I'll explain what's going on later!"
Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's anxious look, Ma Tiejun didn't think it was nonsense, just a phone call. He immediately walked ahead and led Ye Zhiqiu to the security office.
It turns out that the security office next to the guard room is equipped with a telephone for easy communication.
Ma Tiejun did not hesitate. After arriving at the place, he directly dialed the public phone in the courtyard of Mu Xiuying's home.
Although they had divided the house, they were getting married, so they returned to their hometown. Tomorrow, when Ma Banghua and his family went to pick up the bride, they had to go over there and give candy to the neighbors before they could take her away to register and then bring her back to the Ma family.
This is the army compound. Both the Mu and Sun families used to live here. Later, their father retired and was assigned a house closer to his workplace, so they moved out of this compound.
In other words, they were all acquaintances, so these two toads had a chance to make a move! Otherwise, with Mu Xiuying and Sun Yulan's looks, they might not be able to pursue them.
I called and asked the person on the other end to notify them, then hung up and waited quietly for six or seven minutes before the phone rang.
Ye Zhiqiu listened carefully and learned that He Yongjun's mother Feng Zhaodi and his elder brother Feng Guanjun had not arrived yet.
He signaled Ma Tiejun to do as he said, so Ma Tiejun told the person over there to wait at the door and call back when Feng Guanjun arrived.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone, then took out a cigarette and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu. After lighting it, he asked, "Xiao Ye, I don't understand what you're doing! Can you explain it to me now?"
Ye Zhiqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed time to give an explanation.
So he said seriously, "Brother Ma, I remember Brother Banghua saying that there were quite a few people chasing after Sister Xiuying and the others! You thought you wouldn't notify the relatives, but they all knew about it. And they even announced their attendance at the wedding banquet right on time. Could this be a coincidence?"
Ma Tiejun's cigarette hand trembled. He took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, "Xiao Ye... Are you saying that my brother's competitors are trying to mess with our family by doing this?"
Ye Zhiqiu exhaled smoke and said calmly, "Brother Ma, I don't believe in coincidences! If it was a cousin of the Mu family, or a cousin of the Sun family, and they didn't all come at the same time, I definitely wouldn't think it was a conspiracy.
But when you said that, my mind flashed back to what Banghua and the others had said. They have a lot of competitors! I was wondering if someone was dissatisfied and put on such a scene to embarrass both of you.
This thought makes me think it's very possible. If that's the case, you said you refused Xiuying and her cousins from coming to participate, but they still came to kill them?
It would be better to just match the number of people and set up a few more tables of wine. Although being labeled as extravagant and wasteful sounds bad, it's actually harmless. But if you are accused of being snobbish, that label would be very uncomfortable!"
Sweat broke out on Ma Tiejun's face. He knew how troublesome this matter would be.
At that time, equality was the key. If poor relatives were not invited to a wedding, and word got out, it would cause big trouble.
Regardless of whether it's a conspiracy or not, this scheme is incredibly vicious! If this were to unfold, it would ruin the political careers of both the Ma and He families!
Ma Tiejun reached out and shook Ye Zhiqiu's hand. He said excitedly, "Xiao Ye, thanks to you! If this is really the case this time, we will be in big trouble!
It's no big deal to have a few more tables at the wedding banquet, because we have so many poor relatives, there's nothing we can do about it!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Brother Tiejun, I hope I am wrong. Now I don't care how many relatives my sister Xiuying and the others have coming.
We're open to entertaining guests. If there's a shortage of ingredients, I'll help get them overnight. As long as the wedding banquet goes on as usual, nothing will be a problem."
"Well, Banghua is so lucky to have a brother like you! Don't worry, Xiaoye, our two families will definitely remember this!"
"Oh, Brother Ma, don't make it sound so serious. I just think it's a possibility. Things may not necessarily turn out this way! Anyway, let's prevent any accidents from happening and make all preparations."
The phone rang and the operator signaled to Ma Tiejun. After Ma Tiejun picked up the phone, he said a few words and nodded to Ye Zhiqiu, indicating that it was He Yongjun's mother and elder brother who were going to check the number of people.
He whispered Ye Zhiqiu's suspicions to He Guanjun, saying that no matter what, he shouldn't refuse, but rather that they should consider the number of people. Xiao Ye would help find the ingredients, and he would rather bear the accusation of extravagance than be accused of being snobbish!
He Guanjun on the other end of the phone opened his mouth, but after Ma Tiejun explained, he swallowed.
He also thought about the serious consequences for both families if this really happened, so he quickly said he understood and would tell his mother and daughter-in-law who were accompanying him not to say anything else.
After hanging up the phone, He Guanjun took Feng Zhaodi and his wife who was holding their son and explained to them in a low voice.
Ma Tiejun felt relieved after hanging up the phone. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was! Because even if this wasn't caused by his brother's rival, what if it was caused by those people in their two families who didn't get along?
