Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"The third of next month is a good date. Let's just hold the wedding banquet then. We don't need to hold it here. We can just hold it in your courtyard. We originally lived there anyway."

Xu Fugui sat beside the table and looked at Yi Bufan.

"Isn't it too fast? Counting from today, it's only six days."

Xu's mother reminded Xu Fugui.

"What's the hurry? He's already got the certificate. Didn't you see your daughter speak up for him? Did you come here today just to inform us?"

"We don't have any in-laws to discuss with, so that process can be skipped."

Xu Fugui glanced at Xu Xiaoran who was pouting.

"I think Xiaofan is pretty good too!"

Mother Xu smiled and spoke up for Yi Bufan.

"Good?"

"When I first found out, I was thinking who was going to fight me with a kitchen knife, saying something like someone had taken your daughter away, or that the cabbage was eaten by a pig."

Xu Fugui exposed it bluntly.

Yi Bufan felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. He secretly glanced at Xu's mother, who looked a little embarrassed. She even used a kitchen knife.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not like that!"

"Besides, didn't you see Xiaofan before?"

Mother Xu glared at Xu Fugui and smiled at Yi Bufan.

"Xiao Fan, don't listen to her father's nonsense. Tell us what difficulties you have and we will solve them."

It's true that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

"Thank you, Mom. It's nothing. I just don't know anything about hosting a banquet!"

Yi Bufan had a very honest look on his face.

"It's okay if you don't understand, just spend the money!"

"The standard of the banquet can't be too low, so it doesn't have to be perfect. Let's have eight dishes, a rich and luxurious one, half meat and half vegetable. Anyway, it's for others to eat, and more is a waste."

"You can figure out how many tables you need, but leave one for me."

"Also, dress respectably when the time comes, don't embarrass me!"

Xu Fugui took a quick look at Xu Xiaoran and Yi Bufan, and found that they were slightly better than most people without any patches.

"Okay, I've written it down."

Yi Bufan nodded.

"Besides, you two just got married, and my daughter is so protective of you."

"Three turns and one ring. I won't ask for it now."

"But you have to buy them all for me in the future. The neighbors are watching."

The more Xu Fugui spoke, the more unhappy he felt.

If I had known this earlier, I would have asked a matchmaker to discuss the terms. The betrothal gift must not be less than 20 yuan. If it is not in place, my daughter will never marry. She has a job.

Now, not only did I lose the opportunity to negotiate terms, but even my daughter was speaking for him.

Don't mention how aggrieved I was. I picked up the wine in front of me and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Yi Bufan quickly picked up the glass and joined in the fun.

The difference is that Yi Bufan was happy in his heart. Passing Xu Fugui's test was much easier than he had imagined.

"Dad, don't worry. Bufan and Xiaoran both have jobs. Their monthly income will be at least thirty or forty yuan, and it will increase slowly. It won't be difficult to buy a three-wheeler."

"Let me tell you, our Xiao Ran can't even find Yi Bufan even with a lantern."

Xu Damao no longer concealed his admiration for Yi Bufan and picked up a piece of meat for Xu Fugui.

"Humph, you can't find it with a lantern, that's because it's dark!"

After Xu Fugui finished speaking, he looked at Yi Bufan.

“You kid, you’ve done a good job recently, otherwise I wouldn’t agree, even if it means letting Xiao Ran divorce you.”

"Those old guys in the courtyard where you live, as well as the people from the Jia family, are not good people. You should be careful and don't just tolerate them."

"We'll go back with you guys later. Let your mother help you clean up the house. I'll go and warn those old guys."

Xu Fugui glanced at Xu Damao, then looked at Yi Bufan again. “From now on, you will all be together, and no one should dare to bully you.”

Xu Fugui knew that Xu Damao had been bullied over the years, but unfortunately, the bully had valid reasons and he could do nothing about it.

"Well, don't worry, Dad. I won't offend others unless they offend me. Otherwise, we two brothers won't be polite to them!"

Yi Bufan picked up the wine glass and continued drinking with the two of them.

After finishing one bottle of wine and half of the other bottle was gone, Xu Damao was already half lying on the table.

"Or you can't go home today."

Xu Xiaoran whispered to Yi Bufan.

Now it seems that only Yi Bufan is in better condition.

"A good sleep shouldn't affect my return home in the afternoon!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao and was already used to it.

Anyway, Xu Damao gets drunk every time he drinks, which is just the amount of half a bottle of wine.

"No, I get along well with Bufan, and I have to drink. I'm happy that my daughter will marry you. Come on, drink!"

Xu Fugui staggered and touched the liquid with Yi Bufan before pouring it into his own mouth, but a lot of it spilled on his clothes.

Xu Xiaoran was also happy to hear this.

"Please ask my dad to drink less. He's drunk."

Xu Xiaoran helped the two of them pour the wine and looked at Yi Bufan.

"Who said I was drunk? I wasn't."

"Yi Bufan, today we two brothers will see who can get the drunkest!"

Xu Fugui's words sobered Yi Bufan up, but he still had to pretend to be drunk.

Xu Xiaoran and her mother couldn't help but burst out laughing, their faces full of shock.

Lou Xiao'e spat out half a dumpling in her mouth. Fortunately, she turned her head in time, and the whole dumpling sprayed onto the face of Xu Damao who was lying on the table next to her. Xu Damao stood up immediately.

"And me, let's drink together!"

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, Xu Fugui slapped him in the face.

"I am your father!"

It seems that Xu Fugui is not completely drunk yet.

"Dad, Bufan is your son-in-law!"

Xu Xiaoran covered her mouth and reminded him.

"Go away, Brother Bufan, let's continue drinking."

Xu Fugui raised the wine glass and clinked it with Yi Bufan, then poured half of it into his mouth and spilled the other half on his clothes.

"I drink too..."

Xu Damao lay directly on the table.

"Dad, let's stop drinking and take a rest."

Yi Bufan said as he poured wine for Xu Fugui.

"What's your name? I'm your brother!"

Xu Fugui slammed the table and stared at Yi Bufan with dazed eyes.

"Dad, he's your son-in-law!"

Xu Xiaoran became anxious.

"You are getting old and confused!"

Mother Xu shook her head helplessly.

"Son-in-law, yes, son-in-law!"

Xu Fugui muttered to himself.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xu Fugui's next words told everyone that he was really drunk.

"Wife, go get Brother Bufan a hundred dollars so that he can prepare a good banquet and clothes."

Xu Fugui said so, but Yi Bufan couldn't accept it easily.

"No, no, this money is what I should spend."

Yi Bufan quickly waved his hands.

"What do you mean yours or mine? You are my brother, so listen to me in this matter!"

Yi Bufan had his hand held down by Xu Fugui, so he was really forced to do his business.

Xu Xiaoran was stunned. This is also possible!

Lou Xiao'e was also dumbfounded. When did her father-in-law become so generous?

"No, Dad, this..."

Yi Bufan was about to speak when he was stopped by Xu Fugui.

"Call me brother!"

Xu Fugui tilted his head, his face flushed, and he looked at Yi Bufan with half-closed eyes and emphasized again.

"Okay, I'll get you the money. You guys just started working, so I'll just help you out!"

Xu's mother smiled and just hoped that the old man would wake up and not regret it.
