Li Manjun was very upright. She had vaccinated Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan a long time ago and said that she would not serve alcohol.
At first, Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan didn't agree. What kind of scolding was this? There was no wedding ceremony. When word spread, relatives and friends thought they had quietly sold their daughter.
But Li Manjun's rhetorical question stopped Wang Xiaojuan from half of her thoughts.
"What should we do if our family is so small? Not to mention my aunt and uncle, there are only five or six tables in my hometown. How can we fit in this house?"
"As for going to your hometown to do it, Mom, you don't want to go back and work so hard and let those people eat ready-made food? They may not necessarily give gifts to our family. If you are willing to let them eat and drink for free, I have no objection."
Li Manjun was really right. Other relatives in his hometown were fine, but Li Dalong and Old Man Li had never given gifts to Li Dawei.
Wang Xiaojuan suddenly woke up from her dream of marrying her daughter in a beautiful scenery. She went to her hometown, but the scenery was not there, and it was difficult to get a house out of the pavilion.
Then think about the debt of gratitude for finding someone to help in the kitchen. They have lived in the town for a long time and have not had much contact with their hometown. They usually have to go to work and cannot go back to the countryside to help others. Why should they help you?
Li Dawei was still a little hesitant, "How about going to a restaurant?"
He saw that all the sons and daughters of his colleagues were getting married at the hotel, so he just paid for it, and the hotel would take care of the rest for him, which would save him a lot of trouble.
Li Manjun asked sharply: "Don't you want to buy a welfare house? We have so much money?"
Li Dawei usually gave out a lot of gifts. He calculated that if there was gift money, the hotel money could offset it.
If you don't do it, the gift money will really be gone.
After struggling for a long time, until Grandma Qiao asked today, Li Dawei was still very moved.
Finally, Li Manjun made the decision, "Then we will have three tables. One table will be for my parents' friends and colleagues, one table will be for relatives from my hometown, and one table will be for my uncle and aunt."
Li Dawei thought for a while and said nothing, which was his acquiescence.
It’s not good to do nothing, and it’s not good to do too much. This is just right.
"Is there anything else?" Granny Qiao asked.
Just talking about the woman's family, Li Dawei asked Zhao Yong what he thought.
Zhao Yong drank water as if he was drunk. He looked at Li Manjun and said: "I listen to Manjun's arrangements. I will do whatever she says."
"Okay, let me tell you what I think." Li Manjun cleared his throat and said:
"No betrothal gift or dowry is required. I only have one request. Both men and women should respect each other equally and share family responsibilities and housework."
Granny Qiao glanced at Zhao Yong, "You got a big deal, you met a woman who doesn't want anything."
Zhao Yong smiled, he did take advantage of it and was able to marry a good woman like Li Manjun.
However, Li Manjun's request was not as easy as Grandma Qiao thought. He understood what Li Manjun meant. What she wanted was not the kind of marital status that everyone thought. What she wanted was respect, fairness, freedom, and independence.
Zhao Yong stood up, picked up the water glass, drank it all in one breath, and made a promise in front of Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan:
"Uncle, aunt, I will treat Manjun well in the future. She can do whatever she wants. I will never interfere and maintain basic respect for her. Don't worry!"
Li Dawei and Wang Xiaojuan stood up and toasted in return. They felt relieved about him.
But for my own daughter, I am not very reassured.
Sure enough, the next second Li Manjun asked Zhao Yong sharply: "If I don't agree to have children, can you respect it?"
Zhao Yong was obviously startled, and Granny Qiao's expression changed instantly. Wang Xiaojuan shouted urgently: "Li Manjun, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"It's a joke, it's a joke, Auntie Xiaoyongqiao, don't take it to heart." Li Dawei explained awkwardly.
Li Lijun and Li Jianjun secretly gave the eldest sister a thumbs up. She is a true warrior.
However, what no one expected was that Zhao Yong, who was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Then I will give birth again when you agree to give birth."
Wang Xiaojuan and Li Dawei raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Manjun did not continue to ask about more extreme topics, such as not having children for the rest of her life. She was already satisfied with Zhao Yong's answer.
This is the respect she wants. Zhao Yong is willing to give her this respect, and she has to give him some sweetness.
After the meal, the two young men went out for a walk alone. When they reached the river, Li Manjun raised his head and said to Zhao Yong:
"I like children."
Zhao Yong could hardly control the surprise on his face. He grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Then you just said you didn't want to?"
"Did I say I don't want to?" Li Manjun joked, "I just want to think about it when I want to, instead of being forced to think about it."
Zhao Yong was stunned by her words and asked urgently: "Then do you want to do it or not?"
Li Manjun took off the big hand on his shoulder, turned around and walked forward happily, looking back and smiling at him, "We'll see how you behave in the future~"
Zhao Yong stopped and thought for two seconds, then laughed. He caught up with her in two big steps. He looked around and saw no one was around. He grabbed Li Manjun's thin waist and lifted her up to face the red
He put a heavy sticker on his mouth.
Li Manjun screamed, then her head was covered with black lines, and she punched Zhao Yong on the hard chest. She was wearing lipstick!
But Zhao Yong didn't notice it. He just thought Li Manjun was shy and embarrassed so he hit him. It didn't hurt. He felt it was more like flirting.
With a red lip mark on her mouth, she asked Li Manjun diligently: "Tomorrow is a good day. It's Children's Day. Shall we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
Li Manjun was thinking about whether to tell him about the lipstick fading, so she waved with a wicked smile. The man took the bait and lowered his head in anticipation. Li Manjun stepped forward and kissed him on the face, leaving a red lip mark.
Zhao Yong's deep black eyes instantly ignited with blazing fire. He couldn't stand the slightest initiative from her. Whenever she took the initiative, he wanted to eat her whole.
But before he could take action, Li Manjun had already run out all the way, grabbed a handful of blue wild flowers on the river bank, and waved him back.
Li Manjun thought it was a good idea to get a certificate on Children's Day, so she agreed.
It's just that she can't pick up garbage with the Liu Yan sisters. When Zhao Yong and Granny Qiao leave in the afternoon, she has to go talk to them.
It is very likely that from now on, she will transfer all the work in Heather Town to the Liu Yan siblings.
After marrying Zhao Yong, she only occasionally returned to Heather Town to stay for a while. If she still wanted to get a share, even if the Liu Yan siblings didn't say anything now, there would be a gap between them in the future.
Therefore, it is better to divide the accounts now. If the Liu Yan siblings still want to do business in Heather Town, she will leave it to them.
If neither of them can do it, she wants to hand it over to Hao Jian.
She also didn't want a share of the town's middle school. She just wanted Hao Jian to help her look for old things when he went to the countryside, and she could give him a share of the dividends if he was successful.
Those old things are really valuable, and now people don’t have much awareness of antiques.
But if in a few years, communication becomes faster and information becomes more developed, there will be no opportunity for her to take advantage.
So we have to take advantage of the lag in news in the past few years and collect more old items.
