Back to 80s bride
Chapter 22
Today is a day of great joy for Li Cui, but she is not happy today.
Thinking back when she and Father Qian got married, life at home was tight and they didn't have much money. They even borrowed the money for the banquet to treat the folks to dinner, but Father Qian still managed to scrape together twenty tables, so many tables. Noodles cost a lot of money. In those days when it was very difficult and there was no food or clothing, few people would be so ostentatious.
At this time, gift money is also different from later ones. People get less and more people come to eat. For example, some poor families even bring a handful of vegetables and a few eggs.If there are workers with formal jobs, it’s okay to say that all the workers who come here are colleagues, and there must be a lot of gift money.However, the Qian family and the Li family are both peasant families. They don't know a few workers, so naturally they receive less gift money.
Therefore, some poor families in the countryside can't afford to hold a banquet when they get married, or they will only set up a few fewer tables when they get married.And because the friends of these people know the situation of the relatives, they will not drag the family and bring the whole family here.Otherwise, too many people will come and the banquet will be too big, and some families will have to bear a huge amount of foreign debt.
Therefore, such a luxurious banquet in the Qian family made Li Cui very popular in front of the neighbors for a while, and later many newly married girls and daughters-in-law envied her.
But this time, her newly married husband didn't hold a banquet in the village, and just called the two families over to have a meal together.
Li Cui cried aggrievedly, "I am 15 years younger than you. We are so far apart. I insisted on marrying you despite my parents' objections. What was it for? You told me that you would treat me well in the future. In the end you That's how you treat me so well, even if you don't even have a banquet, how can you raise my head in the village at my mother's house after you tell me?"
The man smoked his dry cigarette in silence.
Li Cui poked him angrily, "Speak up."
After a while, the man said in a muffled voice: "My mother said, we are married for the second time, it's embarrassing, so we won't serve wine."
"But we obviously didn't say that before we got married. We discussed it and set up at least eight tables, but none of them ended up."
The man was silent again.
But the mother-in-law outside the door heard it, and immediately said in a sharp voice: "I'm really not ashamed, the man in front remarried within a year of his death, and I don't mind being greedy. You are shameless, and our family is shameless. Still thinking about it Banquet, it’s not embarrassing for our family to marry you back!"
If the former mother-in-law dared to say that about her, Li Cui would have scolded her back long ago.In fact, her ex-mother-in-law would not treat her like this.Her ex-mother-in-law, Mrs. Qian, was a well-known kind person in the village. She smiled at everyone, even if her family was poor. Even though his Qian family was of good character, many families were still unwilling to marry their girls into such a family to endure hardship.
Later, through someone's introduction, Li Cui met Qian's father and married him. The Qian family finally got a daughter-in-law, and offered Li Cui up like a bodhisattva.
It was okay at the beginning, Li Cui also suffered hardships in her natal family, and she especially cherished these days.But after a long time, the Qian family kept their attitude too low, and Li Cui felt a little ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and felt that there was nothing in the sky and the earth was hard to find, and whoever married her was a blessing to that family.He even took Father Qian's contributions for granted.
It wasn't until Father Qian passed away and she actually married into this family that she realized that there was nothing special about her, and not everyone would coax her into supporting her.Even the family disliked her very much because of her second marriage.
Li Cui also knows that this is her second marriage, and she must never divorce again, otherwise she will definitely be punished to death. The husband divorced her.
She didn't hear Li Cui's rebuttal, so her mother-in-law was a little satisfied, cursing and leaving, "The Qian family kid who died earlier took you as a treasure, and didn't know how to cherish his blessings. Idiot, I got my marriage certificate, and I still want a banquet ,dream."
Li Cui was still sobbing softly, but no one came forward to coax her like the former father Qian.
After shopping for a few days, there was no suitable business, so Chen Minghui could only go to the department store to wait for someone as promised.
The department store closes at [-] o'clock, and people leave one after another around [-]:[-].Later, I even saw Zhao Pei and Manager Ma.
Manager Ma had a big belly and groaned heavily against his five-month pregnant belly.
"You don't want to make progress at a young age, and you only learn from other people's opportunism. Now it's good. You can't lose money by stealing chickens. You should learn the lesson." Zhao Pei gloated and sarcasm was happy, looked up and saw him a few steps ahead Manager Ma hurried to catch up.
"Brother-in-law, you are going home, just drop by and give me a ride." Saying that, he sat down on Manager Ma's back seat.
Manager Ma's face was longer than that of a horse.
"I'm not going home, and I'm not going along the way. You go down."
Zhao Pei said awkwardly, "Oh, you're not going home, so what are you going to do?"
"Why, I have to report to you for whatever I do." Manager Ma stared, "Also, call me manager at work!"
Manager Ma turned the handlebar and pedaled away with a swish.
"Oh, it turns out that some people don't want to post it." Chen Minghui said with a half-smile: "It's no wonder that a 30-year-old looks like a 50-year-old. Which man can talk!"
"You..." Zhao Pei raised her eyebrows, and opened her mouth to swear.
Chen Minghui blocked her first, and said leisurely: "I advise this aunt to use her brain before speaking. If you annoy me by talking about it, I will take it to your department store and talk about it tomorrow. If you polish it up a little bit, what do you think will be passed down?"
Zhao Pei said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I just want to ride Manager Ma's bicycle, besides, we are relatives."
"Oh, I know, but so what. The reason why rumors are called rumors is because they don't have to be true. Back then, auntie, you and Manager Ma teamed up to drive me out."
Zhao Pei thought about her not-so-popularity. If this little bastard really went to the department store to say something casually, even if she knew it was false, those old women would definitely add more embellishments to make it more true.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Pei suddenly became flustered, "You, you little bastard, I don't know as much as you." After speaking, he seemed to run away like a rabbit.
The iron door rumbled behind him, Chen Minghui turned around and saw an old man locking the door, he should be the watchman of the department store.
Chen Minghui stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, have all the people in the department store gone? I made an appointment with a staff member here, but I didn't see her come out."
The old man waved his hand impatiently, "There's no one else, it's already gone, and you don't even need to check what time it is, it's getting dark."
Chen Minghui followed the old man's fingers and looked up, and sure enough the sky was already dark, and the blackness of ink seemed to be boundless.
In the next few days, Chen Minghui went to the department store to look for Fan Chunjuan several times during the day, but Fan Chunjuan was not there.
"Excuse me, elder sister, do you know why Aunt Fan who sells toys didn't come?" Chen Minghui grabbed a woman at the counter next to her and asked.
The woman shook her head, "It seems that the family has something to ask for leave, and I don't know exactly what happened."
While the two were talking, Zhao Pei, who was at the opposite counter, kept poking his head, for fear that Chen Minghui would really add embellishments and say something.The ears could hardly be taken off and hung by Chen Minghui's mouth.
Chen Minghui ignored her and continued to ask: "Then do you know where her family lives, I need to find her."
"I don't know about that." The woman suddenly stared at Chen Minghui with a wary look, she obviously knew about it, but she didn't tell him.
This is also helpless, who would casually tell a stranger the home address of a friend or colleague.
Chen Minghui couldn't ask, so he had to think of another way. He was about to leave, but at this time Zhao Pei came up to provoke him with a low-key mouth: "Hey, I said brat, although I don't know what you and Fan Chunjuan have agreed in private. People's deeds, but I advise you to give up quickly. Then Fan Chunjuan must be scared, and ran away first. Hehe..."
Originally, business matters were annoying enough, and Chen Minghui didn't have the energy to deal with these culprits, but if Zhao Pei decided to do everything he could, he wouldn't mind taking care of her by the way.
"Auntie, Aunt Fan and I haven't reached any shady business. But I know some people really don't know the shame. When they see Manager Ma, they talk coquettishly and sit with their arms around Manager Ma's waist. In the back seat of the car. It turns out that I don’t even want to cheat people, so I was kicked out. Tsk tsk... This behavior is an eye-opener for me from a rural area. It turns out that there are women in this world who do cheating things, and there are really men. I can't even look down on those who post upside down..."
Immediately, the eyes of the people around looked at Zhao Pei changed, some were gloating, some were contemptuous, and some were just joining in the fun.But no matter what kind of psychology they have, these people are not asking for sticks, they just want to get their mouths on the tongue and touch their mouths.
"Oh, I really can't see that this Zhao Pei is actually such a person, he usually pretends to be so expensive, and looks down on this one and that one."
"Isn't Manager Ma related to her? Manager Ma's daughter-in-law seems to be her cousin from a distant relative. Isn't Manager Ma her cousin's husband?"
"You also said that you are a cousin-in-law, but it is still so far away. These days, some shameless women still hook up with their brother-in-law, what is a cousin-in-law?"
"Too……"
"No, I didn't. I just wanted to ask Manager Ma to give me a ride to save the bus fare..." Zhao Pei couldn't argue with anything at the moment, and all his words seemed so weak.
"Look, she admitted..."
"How shameless, I dare not ask my husband to pick me up at the counter in the future."
"You'd better ask him to wait for you downstairs. After all, there is such a woman in the unit. What should she do if she wants to hook up with your husband? Men are always sneaky..."
"I don't, it's not..." Zhao Pei tried to explain, but some people listened to her, and everyone only listened to what they wanted to hear.She turned her head and yelled at Chen Minghui: "Don't go, you explain, explain clearly to them..."
Chen Minghui had already gone downstairs on his own, and even though Zhao Pei yelled behind him, he didn't turn his head.
