Chapter 1555 Putting the blame on others (3 updates

The Song family went back, and Grandma Zhou took her luggage and stayed at her son-in-law’s house.

My mother-in-law was not at home, although it was She had to handle the matter by herself, and Sister-in-law Zhou was not annoyed at all. Her mother-in-law was not at home, so she had no chance to chat with Zhou Xialong, and Zhou Xialong had less chance to regret it.

Sister-in-law Zhou was in a very good mood, feeling happy. They are waiting for the girl to get married. After the girl officially holds the wedding banquet, she can also enjoy a happy life and no longer have to stay in the countryside to be a country woman.

In mid-April, Zhou Chunmei’s prospective husband’s family and Liu We discuss the number of banquet tables and people, and how many invitations we plan to send.

Zhou Chunmei’s partner’s surname is Li, which is the most common surname in the country. It is not only the most populous surname in China, but also among Chinese overseas. It is also the most common. It can be said that in the world, every country with human beings has people with the Chinese surname Li.

The surname Li is also the top surname in Shi City. There are people with the surname Li in every township, and most of them have the same surname. Different clans, the Li surname of Zhou Chunmei's target family is also a famous family in the Shi family, no less than the Huang surname of Huang Mouchang. However, there are no famous people in modern times, but there are many wealthy people in the family squire level.

Zhou Chunmei’s partner’s name is Li Yao. It is said that the five elements lack earth, and the family members also lack earth, so three earths were used in naming him.

The Li family seized the opportunity in the 1990s They made a lot of money by investing in mines. When others were still households with RMB 10,000, they were households with RMB 100,000. Later, they bought several storefronts in Shishi. Because of the strict management of mining in recent years, the Li family made money from the storefronts, but it was still a good idea. He is definitely a millionaire.

The Li family and the Liu family agreed on a banquet. The Liu family sent out invitations to invite relatives and friends, and also gave the Zhou family ten places, so that the Zhou family would be of the same clan. Let's go to have a feast.

Sister-in-law Zhou went back to her parents' home and brought back more than a dozen invitations, which she sent to Zhou Xialong, the same clan surnamed Zhou.

Brother Zhou didn't As for what he said, only he and his clan knew what he said, and only the Zhou family knew whether they were going or not.

Qingming Festival is a national holiday, Mr. Yan He didn't have time to go back to the Yan family and He family tombs in the capital. He and his teammates took turns to let the teammates who hadn't visited their hometowns for several years return to their hometowns to pay homage to their relatives. It wasn't until the middle of the month that several teams returning to visit relatives and go on missions. , he took his manpower to personally carry out reconnaissance missions on the southwest border.

In April of the new calendar, office workers did not feel any difference. Farm-oriented rural areas entered the busy period of spring and summer, and every day Busy working in the fields.

Le’s father Zhou Qiufeng arranged the work in the fields neatly and kept him busy. Brother Zhou often went to work, and Sister Zhou took care of the fields and the fields every day. I am so tired that my back aches and I am becoming more and more impatient with the current life. I am even more envious and yearn for the leisurely life of city dwellers.

Very tired every day, Mrs. Zhou silently cheered herself up, "Come on, come on, the girl will get married soon. Once Chunmei gets married, she can go to the city and enjoy happiness."

The days passed day by day in the expectation of Mrs. Zhou, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of April.

May Day is a national holiday with three days off. In 2020, May Day falls on a Friday. Because it is connected to the weekend, the following Monday and Tuesday are also public holidays, so the May Day holiday and the weekend have a total of five days off. .

April 30th is the last shift for office workers before the holiday. After finishing that day’s shift, they will have a holiday. Zhou Chunmei got married on May 1st. According to custom, the guests of the bride’s family will be in the first place. One day later, guests from the Liu family also arrived at the Liu family one after another on the 30th.

As his daughter was not getting married in the Zhou family, Brother Zhou gave his daughter face and went to her grandmother’s house with his wife on the morning of the 30th. As for the Zhou family members, none of them went.

Grandma Zhou didn’t go, neither did Zhou Qiufeng, and Village Chief Zhou didn’t go. Not only did the close relatives of the Zhou family not go, but they also didn’t send red envelopes. A girl from the Zhou family got married in the Liu family, so why should Zhou go? Family members put their hot face on someone else's cold ass?

Zhou Chunmei has no heart for the Zhou family. Going to the Liu family for a dinner seems like the Zhou family has no backbone. They are determined not to do anything to lower the price.

No one from the Zhou family came, and the Liu family didn't care at all. It didn't matter whether the Zhou family came or not. Anyway, as long as Zhou Chunmei got married at the Liu family, the Li family's car and bride price would be enough to come to the Liu family to pick up the bride.

However, Liu Jiagui was afraid that Zhou Xialong would go back on his word and cause trouble when the Li family came to pick up the bride and saw the bride price, so he specifically told his family that people should keep an eye on Zhou Xialong and not let him cause trouble.

So, wherever Brother Zhou went, he was warmly accompanied and greeted by people. He was very calm, stayed overnight, and ushered in the first day of May.

Zhou Chunmei was taken to put on makeup before dawn, and returned just before breakfast. After dinner, she touched up her makeup again, changed into her wedding dress, and then sat in her boudoir waiting for someone to welcome her bride.

It was past eight o'clock after the Liu family had finished breakfast. The Li family's wedding car arrived at the Liu family's house at nearly nine o'clock. The Li family was quite shameless and rented about ten cars as floats. The bride's car is a black Audi.

There was a long queue of wedding cars, and along with them came various betrothal gifts necessary for local weddings.

According to customs, the bride price must be shown in front of relatives and friends. After the gifts are shown, the groom’s family eats tea and fruits before going to welcome the bride.

When the groom led people into Liu's house, Brother Zhou finally saw the real person. He only had one glance and couldn't help but frown. The young man who was supposed to be his son-in-law was a bit short, visually a few points shorter than him. , and he is not very young either, he clearly looks like he is in his thirties.

The appearance of a prospective son-in-lawShe also has a popular face and is very well-groomed. In terms of appearance, she is almost the same as Zhou Chunmei. He still knows his own girl. Zhou Chunmei is not a great beauty. It is impossible to find a handsome young lady like Le Yun knows. .

If the prospective son-in-law is sincere in living with Zhou Chunmei, and Zhou Chunmei can cherish her blessings, she can live a happy life in the future. If the prospective son-in-law is not happy at home, Chunmei will inevitably suffer from the wrath of living in such a family.

Even though he knew that his daughter was not from the right family, he still liked her. Brother Zhou felt that he had nothing to say. Chunmei should choose her own husband.

When the Li family moved the bride price to the Liu family, several relatives of the Liu family surrounded Zhou Xialong. Brother Zhou smiled calmly: "You don't need to be careful about me making trouble. I have something to say first. Zhou Chunmei is in the Liu family." After you get married, your Liu family will be Zhou Chunmei’s natal family. If you can do this, I won’t make a fuss. Of course, if you accept the bride price and stop being Zhou Chunmei’s natal family someday, I will kill your Liu family at any time. The door of the family is turned upside down, and no one wants to lose face."

The Liu family was almost unable to get off the stage by Zhou Xialong's straightforward words. When they saw the man coming to welcome the bride, they were afraid that the man would enter the house. He didn't say anything after hearing anything, so as not to cause Zhou Xialong to say anything earth-shattering again.

The man’s betrothal gift was posted one by one. When the gift money was revealed, the person in charge of singing the ceremony paused and looked in the direction of Zhou Xialong. Since the man’s personnel were all there, I had to sing, so I had to bite the bullet and sing loudly: "The gift is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine in cash, which means eternity."

"Wow, so generous."

　"The son-in-law's family is so generous."

　"..."

The more the man's family pays attention to the woman, the more betrothal gifts they give. The man's family gave him 100,000 yuan in cash for the wedding. , indicating that he is extremely satisfied with the woman.

Everyone let out envious exclamations, and Brother Zhou suddenly realized that the man had promised a hundred thousand as a gift. No wonder the Liu family wanted Zhou Chunmei to marry in the Liu family no matter what.

Brother Zhou looked at the Liu family and saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law Liu Jiagui also looking at him. The Liu family were obviously very nervous. He smiled meaningfully. The gift of 100,000 yuan was very heavy. , I hope they are lucky enough to bear it.

Liu Jiagui felt guilty and kept secretly observing his brother-in-law. When he saw his strange smile, his heart was beating wildly. Zhou Xialong wouldn't be holding back any big moves to embarrass the Liu family, right?

He felt uncertain and waited anxiously for the ceremony to be completed. He quietly found his family members who were helping him keep an eye on Zhou Xialong, and repeatedly asked them to keep a close eye on him and not let Zhou Xialong do anything that could cause serious problems. The Liu family is in disgrace.

The person responsible for "entertaining" Zhou Xialong looked embarrassed and could not say it clearly.Because Zhou Chunmei got married in the Liu family, if something went wrong at the wedding, the entire Liu family would be embarrassed. They accepted the trust and followed Zhou Xialong.

Brother Zhou didn’t mind the people surrounding him at all, he just treated himself as a spectator.

After showing off the bride price, the men who came to pick up the bride sat down to eat tea and candies. After sitting for about ten minutes, they went to pick up the newlyweds. Someone from the Liu family blocked the door, and the groom’s family stuffed a lot of red envelopes before they could get there. Go in and pick up the bride.

When the groom receives the bride, he has to say goodbye to his parents at home.

The Liu family had already prepared and placed chairs in front of the ancestral shrine opposite the door of the main room. The grandparents and uncles sat on one side, and the bride’s biological parents sat on the other.

Brother Zhou was very considerate and quietly cooperated with the Liu family's arrangements. He sat where the bride's father should sit. He showed no joy or sadness, and his face was calm.

The guests welcoming the bride and those watching the excitement nearby couldn’t help but became quiet when they saw the grandfather waiting in the high hall. The bride’s grandmother and the elders of the Zhou family’s grandparents were both missing.

The Li family was confused and it was difficult to ask. Xipo, who came to pick up the bride in the car, arranged for the bride and groom to bid farewell to the bride’s parents and serve tea.

Mrs. Zhou was so happy that she quickly took the tea and took a sip.

The groom’s father didn’t extend his hand, so his mother rushed to drink the tea. Xipo was even more surprised and urged the bride and groom to say goodbye to her father.

The groom raised the tea tray higher and offered tea to his father-in-law to say goodbye.

Brother Zhou looked at his son-in-law kneeling on the red carpet and said in a calm voice: "The ancients said that a woman obeys her father at home. My girl is not like this. My girl has been listening to it since she was a child. As for her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and mother, if there is anything wrong with Chunmei in the future, you should discuss it with Chunmei’s grandparents, aunts, uncles, and mother.”

Brother Zhou gave a lesson, not to let the man ask any more questions. What? He took a sip of tea and gave her a red envelope as a token of appreciation. He said everything he needed to say. Don't blame him for putting the blame on others because of Zhou Chunmei's bad future. He is also the right side.

Zhou Chunmei was a bride, soaking in the honey water of happiness. She had no time to think about other things, and she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her father’s words.

Sister-in-law Zhou didn’t even think much about it, she was so proud of having a rich son-in-law.

When Zhou Xialong opened his mouth, Liu Jiagui was afraid that he would say something bad, and he was so anxious that he broke into sweat. Fortunately, Zhou Xialong didn't say anything that would make the Liu family stand down, so he was relieved.

Zhou Xialong did not make a scene, and the Liu family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The people from the Li family who came to pick up the bride felt more and more strange. The groom’s father actually said that the girl did not listen to his father’s teachings at home, so that the groom would not listen to his instructions at home.What does it mean to go directly to your uncle's house if you have any questions?

The bride’s father received tea and gave red envelopes, and there were people watching the excitement. It was inconvenient for the Li family’s relatives and friends to say more. Li Yao was full of doubts and could not ask his father-in-law. If you are not dissatisfied with him or the bride price, you say goodbye to your parents-in-law, and then say goodbye to the bride's grandparents.

Grandpa Liu and others were afraid of causing trouble, so they took the tea and drank it, gave them red envelopes, and asked them to set off at an auspicious time.

The Li family helped the newlyweds out of Liu’s house, boarded the car, and returned to Li’s house.

The Li family picked up the bride, and the guests at the Liu family also took cars to the hotel to sit down.

When the guests all went to the car, Brother Zhou calmly told his parents-in-law that he would not go to the hotel for dinner and would go back to Jiudao first.

As soon as he left, Liu Jiagui was completely relieved and rushed to the hotel with his relatives and friends to sit down first.

The Li family’s motorcade left the Liu family and returned to the Li family at about ten o’clock. They paid homage to the high hall, went through some tedious etiquette, and then sent the newlyweds to stay for a while. Minutes before getting to the hotel.

The groom’s relatives arrived at the hotel and the banquet started soon. During the banquet, the bride and groom were toasting. When the toasts were made to the bride’s family, they walked around and found that the bride’s father was not there. The groom’s parents looked puzzled and asked what was going on. Not seeing the father-in-law, the Liu family excused themselves by saying that the groom's father was feeling sad and didn't come to the hotel because he was reluctant to let his daughter get married.

Although the attitude of the bride's father-in-law was a bit strange, the wedding was still a success. We had a banquet in the hotel, and the guests from the two families returned to the groom's family and the bride's family, and were entertained separately by each family.

The guests of the Li family also had a wedding ceremony in the evening as per custom. They had breakfast the next day and then went home one after another.

After sending away some of the elders, the newlyweds return to the woman’s natal family—commonly known as returning home.

The guests of the Liu family were still there. They waited until Zhou Chunmei came back, had lunch, and then went back to their respective homes.

It is normal for a newly married girl to not stay at her parents’ house when she returns home. Zhou Chunmei and Li Yao had lunch at her grandma’s house and also went back to Li’s house.

When he returned home, he still only saw his mother-in-law. Li Yao felt very uneasy. On the way back, he asked in a place with few cars on the road: "Chunmei, I didn't see my dad at noon yesterday, and I didn't see my dad today either. Is there anything dissatisfied with my father-in-law?"

"No." Zhou Chunmei, who was in the fantasy of happiness, felt guilty for a while. She didn't even tell her father and grandma personally when she was considering marrying someone. , was afraid that her father would be unhappy, so when her uncle and mother told her to marry her at her grandma's house, she didn't object.

"On such an important day yesterday, my brother didn't come back either." When a girl from the Zhou family got married, no other members of the Zhou family were present, only the brideMy parents and the Li family all felt weird.

"Tianming is studying. It's too far away. It's troublesome to get there by car." Zhou Chunmei felt even more guilty. She called her brother. Originally, Tianming promised that she would come back, but later she heard that she was at her grandma's house. After getting married, he refused to go home to attend her wedding.

"You can take a plane. I told you before that I am responsible for my brother's round-trip air ticket. Besides, I didn't see grandma yesterday." It doesn't matter if others are not present, but it is such an important occasion for the old lady of the Zhou family He didn't show up, which is unreasonable no matter how you say it.

"I...my grandma is probably dissatisfied with me marrying into my grandma's house." After being asked three questions in a row, Zhou Chunmei felt at a loss and felt panicked, so she would naturally reveal her flaws.

Li Yao immediately grasped the key point: "Didn't you say that your elders have no objection to where you get married? Since grandma doesn't agree with you getting married at your grandma's house, of course you have to comply. Grandma, what do you mean, why didn’t you discuss such an important matter with me?”

“You are marrying me, but you are not marrying one of my family members. Is it different where I get married?” Zhou Chunmei She suddenly felt aggrieved. The Li family was marrying her as their daughter-in-law, not her family. It didn't matter where she got married.

"How can it be the same? You are a girl from the Zhou family, and you are closer to the Zhou family. Your grandmother, brother, and your aunt are your closest relatives. Your mother is a married daughter of the Liu family. You and My uncle's house is several floors away, so you and the Liu family's children are cousins." Li Yao really wanted to split open Zhou Chunmei's head to see what was inside, but he couldn't even tell the most basic difference between closeness and distance.

Zhou Chunmei turned her face away angrily and said nothing.

Li Yao didn’t know what to say and didn’t argue with Zhou Chunmei. The Zhou family was dissatisfied with Zhou Chunmei marrying in the Liu family, so all her relatives and friends refused to attend the wedding. Now that the matter has come to this, they can only find a way to remedy the situation. , the remedy cannot be rushed, it can only be done slowly.
