Chu Xiuxiu was actually a little reluctant to invite the Wu family to the wedding banquet. She had no impression of her grandma and her grandfather's family since she was a child. Every time she asked her grandpa when she was a child, she could only get a sigh. Later, when she got older, , I also heard about it intermittently from Grandma Chu, Uncle Wang, and other people in the village.
After living so close together for so many years, except for the Wu family who came to make trouble once that year, the Wu family had never come to take a look at her. No matter what the facts were back then, they never took her to heart.
But Chu Xiuxiu is a filial girl after all. Since Uncle Chu said he wanted to invite her, she could only listen to her father. Just like her cousin said, whether she comes or not, it has nothing to do with them.
Chu Yi accompanied Uncle Chu Chu to Grandpa Chu's house in another village. Shen Luzhu took Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu to the Wu house.
Almost everyone in the village knew about Chu Xiuxiu's marriage. Naturally, people with good intentions came to talk to the Wu family.
When Shen Luzhu and the others came to the door of Wu's house, the Wu family's courtyard was also talking about this matter. When they heard a knock on the door, Mrs. Wu and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, stepped forward and opened the door. Mrs. Zheng married Wu. I came home late, so I had never seen Chu Xiuxiu.
Seeing three strangers outside the courtyard, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Shen Luzhu said, "Is this the Wu family?"
"It's the Wu family, is there something wrong?"
Shen Luzhu pulled Chu Xiuxiu forward and said: "We are from the Chu family. My Xiuxiu is engaged. There will be a wedding banquet at the old house on the 15th. The Wu family is her maternal grandfather's family. If she is free, she will come to have a wedding." A nice cup of wedding wine.”
Although little Zheng didn't recognize these three people, when she heard who the Chu family was and what weddings and wedding banquets they were about, she guessed that it might be what the family was talking about just now, the eldest aunt's former daughter, and hurriedly turned around He shouted into the courtyard: "Ms. sir, father and mother! Come out quickly, come quickly! The Chu family has to come!"
Shen Luzhu was not surprised by the Wu family's reaction. He just turned his head and smiled reassuringly at Chu Xiuxiu.
As little Zheng finished speaking, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the courtyard of the Wu family. The first person to appear was a man who looked about thirty or forty years old, pulling on a pair of cloth shoes that were already somewhat unrecognizable. His face was also unshaven, and he ran to the door and looked at the three of them up and down.
Then a joyful expression appeared on his face, he stared at Chu Xiuxiu and said, "Are you Xiuxiu? I am your uncle. Look how handsome my eldest niece is. No wonder she can marry into a rich family in the county!"
Chu Xiuxiu was a little resistant to Uncle Wu's appraising eyes and words, but she still nodded and called: "Uncle."
"Hey!" Uncle Wu touched little Zheng with his elbow and said in a showy way: "See, my niece will be the wife of a wealthy family from now on..."
Before Uncle Wu could finish his words, Shen Luzhu saw two more people coming out from behind him. Judging by their age, they must be Wu's parents, so he said: "Senior Wu family, we are here to deliver a message. Xiuxiu has already We are engaged, and we plan to hold a wedding banquet at home on the 15th, and I would like to invite you to a wedding banquet..."
Who would have thought that the attitude of this old man from the Wu family was completely different from that of his own son, as if someone owed him hundreds of taels of silver: "Huh! Delivery? The whole village knows, and the marriage is between you and the Chu family. It’s all settled, what kind of message are you here to send us? What does she think of our Wu family?”
When Wu's uncle heard this, he hurriedly grabbed his father's arm and stopped him: "Dad, what are you talking about? The Chu family has found such a good match for Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu will be blessed when she gets married. We will decide in the future I will honor my parents and my grandma's family well. We are all in-laws. Why do you say we are born this way? Don't worry, Xiuxiu. I will definitely support you, uncle. My mother-in-law is older, isn't it? .”
After not fulfilling the responsibilities of grandma and grandpa for a day, but now she wanted to show off and enjoy the blessings, Shen Luzhu stopped Chu Li and Chu Xiuxiu who were about to come forward to argue. After all, it was Xiu Xiu's happy event. There was no need to argue with her. These people clashed.
"I've already delivered the letter, so I won't keep it any longer."
Seeing Shen Luzhu and the others turning around and leaving, Wu's father became even more angry and cursed casually: "You uneducated people, this is how your Chu family treats your elders!"
Chu Xiuxiu turned around suddenly and said: "Why am I uneducated? You should ask your good daughter. Let's go, cousin."
"Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu! Don't listen to your grandpa. My uncle is kissing you. Don't worry, your uncle will definitely convince them to support you. Your grandpa is getting old and confused, but your uncle is not."
Chu Xiuxiu looked at her uncle from the Wu family who rushed up to pester her and said, "No need, I am a child of the Chu family. I have no uncle, no grandfather, and no mother-in-law."
