Chapter 087: Holding a Wedding Banquet Again
Lin Wanxia shook her head, "Do you think you did it perfectly? Are you sure that no one saw you when you went to the kitchen upstairs at that time?
If you want a witness, I'll grab a handful for you, do you believe it?
It seems that you are still not convinced now!"
Lin Wanxia rolled up her sleeves, "Then let's fight again. Either you beat me, or I beat you."
Wang Cuiping was furious.
She didn't want to fight with Lin Wanxia, she couldn't beat Lin Wanxia. She
wanted to open her mouth, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Lin Wanxia politely ask her, "Do you want to eat melon seeds?"
Wang Cuiping was not stupid enough to think that Lin Wanxia was grabbing a handful of melon seeds in her hand to peel them for her to eat.
She couldn't scold her, and she couldn't beat her.
She wanted to call for help, but Lin Wanxia was standing in front of her.
She couldn't run away even if she wanted to.
Wang Cuiping regretted it very much. Why did she provoke Lin Wanxia?
No one had ever dared to treat her like this in the past, whether in her hometown or in the compound.
In the compound, when she went to the leader, no matter how angry the sisters-in-law were, they would not bother with her anymore.
At home, once she cried and made a fuss, her family would listen to her. Yes
, crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide is useless!
Wang Cuiping glanced up and saw Lin Wanxia's half-smile, so she knew that this trick would not work on her.
Maybe she would even pass the rope to herself.
She rolled her eyes and signed her name on the guarantee letter.
She would go back on her word when the time came, and see what Lin Wanxia could do to her.
Lin Wanxia knew what she was thinking, and folded the paper slowly. "I asked you to sign because I'm not afraid that you will regret it.
You have lived in a honeypot since you were a child, and you haven't seen the dark side of life, right?
Have you heard of women being kidnapped? Sold from the city to the ravines to be wives of poor men.
In order to prevent you from running away, they tie iron chains to your feet and don't give you clothes to wear. You might even meet a man who uses the whole family's strength to buy a woman, young and old together. , even if they give birth to a child, they don’t know whose father it is...”
He looked at Wang Cuiping’s increasingly pale face with satisfaction, put the guarantee letter into his pocket, and slowly added the last sentence: “I heard that some people with bad personalities and average looks don’t sell in the mountains, but are beaten while being sent to serve customers.
And I happen to know a few of these dealers, do you want to meet them?”
Wang Cuiping fell to the ground, her head shaking like a rattle, and her body backed away.
Lin Wanxia opened the door and was not surprised to see three men with complicated expressions in the corridor.
She nodded politely and left the corridor in the opposite direction.
It was not time to get off work yet, so she didn’t disturb them from working.
Squad Leader Zhang looked at the team leader, hesitant to speak.
The captain's face was uncertain, and finally he only asked Jiang Sinian, "Is your wife trying to scare people or is she serious?"
Jiang Sinian thought for a moment and said, "She should be scare people, right?"
The captain warned in a low voice, "Military wives are just ordinary women after all. It's normal for them to have some conflicts. Don't make a fuss."
It's true that I didn't expect that Lin Wanxia, who is pretty and fair, is such a... cruel character.
I didn't expect that soon, even if Lin Wanxia didn't live in the compound anymore, her name would scare Wang Cuiping.
Of course, this is a later story.

On the day off, Jiang Sinian invited the people in the team and other people with good relationships in the compound to come to the wedding banquet.
A day in advance, Jiang Sinian and Xingxing were busy pasting up the lace and happy characters, and the house was decorated with joy.
It's just that the room is relatively small and can't accommodate so many people.
Jiang Sinian borrowed the canteen of the battalion headquarters from a neighboring unit.
Lin Wanxia did not do anything to get her wedding dress. In 1982, it was popular to put her hair up and pin some artificial flowers made of red cloth and white pearls on her hair. She
dyed her lips a dark color and matched them with a popular red jacket.
It did not fit her aesthetic taste that she had developed in the new century, but it had a unique flavor.
Lin Wanxia turned around and asked Jiang Sinian, who was still in uniform, "Does it look good?"
Jiang Sinian's eyebrows were slightly curved, and there was tenderness on his lips. He said seriously, "It looks good!"
It really looks good.
The kind that I want to see for a lifetime.
Xingxing was also wearing new clothes, nodding like a little adult, "Lin Wanxia, you are so beautiful! Just like the stepmother in Snow White!"
Jiang Sinian raised his eyebrows and wanted to beat him up, but Lin Wanxia had been telling him recently, so he took back his half-extended hand and told Xingxing, "The stepmother is not the most beautiful, the most beautiful is Snow White."
"But..." Xingxing looked up with a puzzled look on her face, "Lin Wanxia is not a princess but a stepmother!"
Among stepmothers, Snow White's stepmother must be the most beautiful.
Lin Wanxia waved her hand to stop Jiang Sinian, bent down and pinched Xingxing's little face, "But Snow White's stepmother is a bad person! Do you want me to be a bad person? Besides, Snow White has to be a mother when she grows up."
I remember that in the new century, the comics about the chaotic life of middle-aged men and women were about Snow White and the king. The filter of childhood was shattered to the ground.
"Then you are more like Snow White!" Xingxing changed her words happily.
***
The banquet was arranged by the squad leader of the kitchen team, who showed his cooking skills different from the big pot rice.
In 1982, when meat was still scarce, everyone's mouths were shiny and their blessings were sweeter.
Probably due to the limitation of cultural level, they kept repeating words like "live together till old age", "match made in heaven", "talented man and beautiful woman", "perfect match".
The others were fine, but when it came to the table of Jiang Sinian's teammates, they told Jiang Sinian to drink in circles.
Whoever Jiang Sinian toasted had to think of an idiom for blessing, and he couldn't repeat it.
As a result, when it came to Zhu Chaoyang, he got stuck and squeezed out a sentence after a long time, "cross-necked cuckoos."
Everyone laughed.
Lin Wanxia also laughed.
The baby-faced man patted Zhu Chaoyang on the back, "You could have even said that I only envy the geese and not the fairies, but you are still a geese. Fortunately, you didn't say that you would beat the geese with a stick!"
The laughter got louder.
Zhu Chaoyang was not convinced, "Someone in my family got married with a geese painted on their wedding veil! My mother-in-law said that geese have a good meaning and they only have one partner in their lifetime. I wish the captain and sister-in-law all the best, so what if it's like a geese?"
Jiang Sinian tried to smooth things over, "Great! Come on, let's do it!"
Lin Wanxia followed Jiang Sinian and only poured him half a glass of wine.
The baby-faced man said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the wine money, we'll pay for it. You give my captain a full bill."
Just as they were making noises, the operator came over, "Captain Jiang, the gate called and said your family is coming. Do you think it's convenient for you to pick them up?"
Probably knowing that Jiang Sinian was getting married, he added, "Originally, we asked them to show the letter of introduction and bring the person in first. But they refused and said you have to pick them up in person."
Lin Wanxia looked at Jiang Sinian, who was obviously surprised as well.
Jiang Sinian asked the operator to leave, excused himself to the people at the table, and went to the gate to pick them up.
