The young couple were busy in the backyard when they saw Xue Changlin running over from the front yard in a hurry: "Master, Master, the family that was making trouble outside the door just now is making trouble again!"
After hearing the words, the young couple hurriedly ran to the front yard and saw the old man of the Wu family sitting on a chair with a livid face, and the old lady of the Wu family standing at the table. , as well as Chu Ping and Qian.
"Aniang, please keep your voice down, Xiuxiu is here."
The old lady of the Wu family seemed to have lost her mind. She waved away the hand of her son who was holding her, pointed at the Qian family in front of her and shouted: "Qian, please stop throwing dirty water on my family. Who is causing trouble?" We, the elders, are here to attend a wedding banquet, and we are not allowed to talk about being ignored by the juniors. You are doing it on purpose, deliberately instigating our relationship with Xiuxiu, you wicked people..."
As he was talking, Village Chief Wu, who was sitting at the main table, couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up and persuaded: "Old Wu, why don't you persuade your mother-in-law? What are you doing on this happy day?" , then Xiuxiu is still your granddaughter, you are making such a fuss, why do you need others to instigate you?"
When the old lady of the Wu family heard this, she felt aggrieved: "Village chief, the Chu family is so bullying..."
Shen Luzhu took a few steps forward, saluted to Village Chief Wu and Chief Chu, and then apologized to the villagers who came to have a feast and said: "Today is a good day for my family to show off. I originally wanted to Everyone is eating happily, but we don’t want to ruin everyone’s elegance. This matter is indeed our fault.”
After hearing this, the old lady of the Wu family immediately raised her head and snorted: "Look, look, this is a sensible person."
"Deer bamboo..."
"Cousin..."
Chu Sanshu and Chu Xiuxiu thought that Shen Luzhu was willing to compromise in order for the wedding banquet to go smoothly, but Shen Luzhu patted Chu Xiuxiu's hand and said, "Xiuxiu, I'm afraid it's a little difficult today. I owe you something. I'll wait for nine." On the 20th of the month, my cousin will pay you back double the amount, okay?"
"What are you talking about, cousin? It's just a wedding banquet, it's not our fault."
Shen Luzhu smiled at Chu Xiuxiu again, and then said: "This matter today is indeed our fault. I originally thought it was Xiuxiu's maternal grandfather's family. No matter what festivals there are between the elders, it is such a big deal like getting married. No matter what, I should ask for it, but I have to admit today that I was wrong.
How could our grandpa, who has not seen her and ignored her for more than ten years, care whether our wedding banquet goes smoothly? She just wants to show off in front of the villagers. "
"You, you are talking nonsense, we are her maternal ancestors, how can we not miss her..."
Shen Luzhu seemed to have heard some joke, and interrupted with a laugh: "You certainly don't wish Xiu Xiu bad luck now, but you have never wished from the bottom of your heart that Xiu Xiu would live a happy life. In the eyes of your Wu family, Here, I only saw a granddaughter who married a wealthy family."
Having their idea exposed in person, the Wu family looked a little embarrassed. Mr. Wu stood up and said, "Stop talking nonsense here..."
"Am I talking nonsense? If you were thinking about Xiuxiu, you wouldn't have been indifferent for more than ten years. As elders, you should have come early to help organize the wedding banquet. Even if the arrangements for the wedding banquet are not in place, you should do it for today. The smooth progress of the child is to endure it.
But as for you, you deliberately delayed coming until the banquet was about to begin. You didn’t even notice that you were late. You also staged a show in front of the courtyard gate and had to be invited by the elders in the family before you could enter the courtyard. You didn’t stop even after the banquet started, and kept clamoring for more. The whole family went to the main table and said you were aggrieved because you were causing trouble? "
The people around them had no intention of eating at the moment and were all looking at the bustle here. Some of them didn't notice the fuss the Wu family was making outside the courtyard. After hearing Shen Luzhu's words, they all started to despise the Wu family.
"Hey, you just want to act like an elder, but you don't look like an elder at all!"
"No, I didn't notice it just now. It turns out they were the ones making trouble outside the courtyard, or the old lady and the old man of the Chu family went out to welcome them back. They are older than them in terms of age and seniority. How can you be so embarrassed!"
"It's really strange to say that the Wu family is such a wealthy family, so why don't they rush to the bus?"
Forget it, why are there still people who have offended others? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to invite them no matter what. What a bad luck. "
The aunt next to her smacked her mouth, shook her head and said, "How do you know that I don't want to curry favor with you? Back then, Chu Laosan just broke his leg, and the Wu family didn't know why they insisted on making peace with each other, and they gave her a new lease of life within a few days." The Wu family has married off again. The Chu family can hate them, but the Wu family wants to curry favor with them, so the Chu family has to take care of them."
"Then I know why the Wu family is like this."
"Why?"
"This is not easy. If I can't please the Chu family, I can only please my granddaughter, but I feel that I am the elder and I can't be embarrassed!"
Listening to the ridicule of these people, the Wu family could not bear it. Mr. Wu said angrily: "Fart, I don't like the bad money of the Chu family!"
After Shen Luzhu came back from the Wu family that day, she had been feeling a little worried in her heart. Looking at the greedy face of the Wu family uncle, and what the Wu family did when their family was just getting rich a few years ago, it was really because they were afraid of Wu. The family took this opportunity to rely on Chu Xiuxiu in the name of their elder grandfather.
It's good to be like this now. Since the Wu family doesn't want to be a good person, they can just show off their faces in front of everyone and see how they can use love and filial piety to kidnap him in the future.
"Mr. Wu, since we have talked about this, I will be a bad guy and do it to the end today. I went to Wu's house to deliver a letter to you that day. What did you say? Xiuxiu must be filial to you in the future, right?
I, Shen Luzhu, will leave my words here today. Not only has my Xiuxiu found a good husband, but she will also open a shop and be the boss in the future. From now on, she will be surrounded by slaves when she goes out, and she will be at home with her hands and food, and she will open her mouth, which is nothing like your Wu family. Half a penny. "
After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he paused and felt that he was not powerful enough. Thinking of the vicious female supporting characters in the movies and TV series of his previous life, he immediately adjusted his posture, hugged his shoulders and leaned back slightly, tilted his head and said slowly: "Who dares? If you come to Xiuxiu's door to cause trouble and want to fight against the autumn wind, then don't blame my family for being rude. If you don't believe it, just go to the county and ask around in this village. Who can get away with it?"
"Xiuxiu, you can't do this. I am your uncle. Don't be instigated by outsiders. How could your uncle cause trouble for you?"
Chu Xiuxiu had something to say in front of the Wu family that day. She only endured it when she saw that her cousin-in-law did not want to conflict with the Wu family. Now naturally she would not tolerate it anymore: "I am the daughter of the Chu family, and only my father , without grandma, where would my grandfather and uncle come from!"
The old man of the Wu family was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Chu Xiuxiu, as if he wanted to eat her alive to relieve his anger: "Our Wu family has really committed a sin to give birth to such a sin as you!"
Others may be able to tolerate it, but Uncle Chu couldn't bear it when he scolded his daughter. He protected Chu Xiuxiu and said, "Don't force me to tell what happened back then. Let everyone know who it is." It’s evil!”
"Okay, okay, okay, your Chu family is very nice! I can't afford to offend the Wu family and can afford to hide, let's go!"
On the second day of the wedding banquet, the Chu family hurriedly drove back to the county seat. There were only a few days until Chu Xiuxiu's wedding. The Chu family still had a lot to do, so they couldn't stay in the old house for too long.
As the only daughter of the Chu family, the dowry had to be carefully prepared. Of course, the young couple and Uncle Chu had already forgotten about Chu Fang.
Uncle Chu Chu not only ordered a complete set of furniture for Chu Xiuxiu, but also prepared pots, pans, and other daily necessities.
Aunt Chu Xiuxiu was not around, so the wedding quilt was naturally prepared by Shen Luzhu. Shen Luzhu had already found the best embroidery house in the county and got twelve sets of quilts, plus ten sets of ready-made clothes for each season in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It contained six large wooden boxes.
Chu Xiuxiu only knew that her father and her cousins had prepared a lot of dowry for her, but when she saw these big boxes piled up in her house, she was still shocked: "Cousin, is this too much?"
"What's more? We have a daughter like you in our family, so naturally we have to prepare a good dowry. That's not all. Come with me."
Shen Luzhu led Chu Xiuxiu to his room, pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang, and then he took out a wooden box from the kang cabinet and handed it to
past.
Chu Xiuxiu opened the wooden box in her hand with some confusion and found that there were many exquisite jewelry inside: "Sister-in-law, this is..."
"These are all for you. Didn't my second brother from my mother's side cooperate with a jewelry shop in the town? I asked him to help me choose some that were of good quality and had good meanings. On the day of the wedding banquet in my old house, he brought them It was given to me, but I was busy with work that day, so I forgot about it."
Chu Xiuxiu hurriedly closed the wooden box: "Sister-in-law, how can I use so many of them? These are too valuable. Sister-in-law, take them back quickly!"
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? These are the dowry I prepared for you. How can you return the dowry?"
As Shen Luzhu spoke, he opened the mezzanine of the wooden box, took out two pieces of paper and unfolded them: "These are the land deeds and house deeds of the Grand West Courtyard and the Shroud Shop. Didn't the shop give 40% to you, Sister Jiang and Miss Lin? The remaining 60%, as well as the house and shop, are all yours now. Find a place to put them away later."
Chu Xiuxiu's eyes widened and she waved her hands repeatedly: "Cousin, I really can't ask for this. You and your cousin built the shop bit by bit. It's your hard work. How can I ask for this?"
Shen Luzhu took Chu Xiuxiu's hand and persuaded: "This shop is opened for you. Your cousin and I have discussed it a long time ago. It has been preparing a dowry for you from the beginning, but I have never told you or my third uncle. That’s it..z.
Originally, I wanted to buy some fields and houses for you and A Li. It happened that Aunt Sun was about to move out, so I came up with this idea. I thought that the harvest of the shop would be much better than renting out the fields. It's not even close to our home. "
"Cousin..."
"If Xiuxiu doesn't want it, then your cousin and I will be running this shop in vain. Can you just understand our hard work?"
Chu Xiuxiu bit her lower lip and struggled: "But I can't do it, cousin..."
"Why can't you do it? Don't underestimate yourself. You are now doing well in accounting, purchasing goods, and dealing with people. Your sister Jiang and Miss Lin are taking care of the embroidery work in the backyard, and there are assistants in the front yard. With help, he is already a qualified boss.
Although the Deng family members are all good people, and Deng Nanxun treats you wholeheartedly, the girl's family still needs to have some support in her husband's family. Apart from our family, these are your confidence, so you can easily keep them. "
