It was lively all day long, and it was not until after dinner that all the guests dispersed.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Dafen were extremely satisfied with today's birthday banquet.
Even the gold factory director of the quarry in the town personally sent someone to congratulate him on his birthday. This is a face that even the mayor of Dazhu Township does not have.
And Pan Zhigang and his wife were even more happy.
Lucy Liu stole the limelight today.
Because her man is so valued by Factory Manager Jin, Lucy Liu has saved her face in front of her family.
Pan Zhigang, on the other hand, was a little confused at first. Although he and Jin Daya had met a few times, let alone friends, they didn't even exchange a few words.
I only remember one time when their team performed well and won first place in the quarter. He, the production team leader, was praised by Jin Daya in person, and the other party even patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Could it be that because of this matter, the director of his own factory has long valued himself?
Eliminate all possibilities, and the only reason left is this.
Pan Zhigang was secretly happy.
What does this mean?
He is so valued by the leadership, why shouldn't he be mentioned even higher for this position?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, especially the praise from his relatives, which made Pan Zhigang's tail go up to the sky. At the banquet, he even boasted about Haikou, saying that he would be promoted to director within two months.
Pan Zhigang's words made all the relatives of the Liu family envious, and there were not a few who came to toast and flatter him.
On the other hand, Chu Tianyao.
There is no harm without comparison.
The eldest son-in-law is so successful, naturally Chu Tianyao, the second son-in-law, seems to be even more useless.
Zhong Dafen was already dissatisfied with Chu Tianyao. After the banquet, he became even more disgusted.
"It doesn't matter how messy this yard is, why don't you hurry up and clean it up."
In the evening, when the guests dispersed, Zhong Dafen looked at the dirty yard and shouted to Chu Tianyao and his wife.
"The yard is so big, when will it be tidied up? How about asking eldest sister and the others to help?"
Chu Tianyao looked at the garbage in the yard and couldn't help frowning.
However, it would be better if he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Zhong Dafen immediately said angrily:
"I said you city people are just too lazy to work. How can guests like Zhigang and Yuling, who have been with us all day, still have the energy to work?"
"Besides, Zhigang has to go to work in the quarry tomorrow, and you don't have to go to work. Why do you have to work more?"
After saying that, Zhong Dafen ignored Chu Tianyao, picked up the box full of money, and walked into the back room.
"Tianyao, you go and have a rest. I'll take care of it here."
After Zhong Dafen turned around and left, Liu Na walked up wearing an apron and holding a wooden broom in her hand.
"They used to treat you like this when you were at home?"
Chu Tianyao looked at Liu Na who was working in the yard and asked aloud.
Hearing this, Liu Na's movements froze slightly, but she quickly turned around and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm used to it."
Liu Na's words couldn't help but make Chu Tianyao feel a little distressed.
Reaching out to pull Liu Na, Chu Tianyao said angrily: "Whoever wants to do this shit will do it. Let's go back tomorrow."
It's okay that the Liu family has a bad attitude towards him, after all, Chu Tianyao doesn't regard them as his own family.
But Liu Na is obviously their biological daughter, but she lives in such a humble life in the Liu family. This makes Chu Tianyao, the husband, not annoyed.
"I only come here once a year. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. I want to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over before going back."
Liu Na snuggled into Chu Tianyao's arms and comforted her: "No one can choose their own origin. No matter what, they are my parents and relatives."
Just this sentence couldn't help but make Chu Tianyao's heart soften.
yes!
How much care can there be in life?
In his previous life, Chu Tianyao was busy with business and might not be able to go back to his hometown to visit his parents once a year.
In this life, Chu Tianshan and his wife passed away early. Except for his sister Chu He, Chu Tianyao had no blood relatives in this world.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is four days away. Chu Tianyao thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Although the Liu family is disgusting, it only lasts a few days. When the time comes, he will just slap his ass and leave, and he will be out of sight and out of mind.
That night.
Chu Tianyao and his wife were busy in the yard.
Zhong Dafen and her eldest daughter Lucy Liu were counting the money in the back bedroom with excitement.
The total amount was 1,800 yuan, which was much more than Zhong Dafen expected.
Of course, this naturally requires the five hundred yuan given by Jin Daya.
"Mom, how much do you want to give me? Although Factory Manager Jin is Zhigang's friend, this favor must be returned in the future. Besides, the money for the birthday banquet came from my Zhigang."
Hearing Lucy Liu's words, although Zhong Dafen was reluctant to give up, but thinking about her eldest son-in-law's promising future, she ruthlessly took out 800 yuan and handed it to Lucy Liu.
"Save some money. When Zhigang really becomes the director, don't forget to subsidize your family."
"Hey, I get it."
Taking the money with a happy face, Lucy Liu counted it and quickly put it into her bag.
"By the way, Mom, how much did their family give me for the second child?"
Lucy Liu did not forget to ask.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Dafen also looked angry: "I bought a bunch of worthless stuff for what I gave you. I've long heard that Chu Tianyao is a prodigal, and you shouldn't have let your sister marry him in the first place."
Zhong Dafen also felt a little regretful.
At the beginning, I thought that Chu Tianyao's father, Chu Tianshan, was also the workshop director of Yongning Winery. If he got into this marriage, their family would have something to look forward to in the future.
But who could have imagined that not long after the marriage, Chu Tianshan died of illness.
"Mom, let me tell you, while the second sister is still young, we might as well find her a good family." Hearing her mother's words, Lucy Liu rolled her eyes and took over: "Do you remember the village chief?
He's so big, he's been thinking about our second child for many years."
In the room, upon hearing Lucy Liu's words, Zhong Dafen quickly interrupted: "Where is this? Your sister is already married."
The He Dazhuang mentioned by Lucy Liu is a well-known elderly bachelor in this village. Although his father is the village chief, He Dazhuang is lame, so it has been difficult to find a marriage.
At first, He Dazhuang also asked someone to come to Liu's house for matchmaking, but he didn't want to give more money as a bride price. Zhong Dafen never agreed. Later, Chu Tianshan also found a matchmaker. When he heard Chu Tianshan's identity and the money he gave as a bride price, Zhong Dafen was shocked.
Without much thought, Liu Na was married to the Chu family.
In the bedroom, Lucy Liu waved her hand to Zhong Dafen and said: "Mom, don't forget, this Chu Tianyao didn't get a marriage certificate with our second sister at the beginning. We don't even have a marriage certificate, so what kind of marriage is that?"
Lucy Liu's words reminded Zhong Dafen.
Liu Na and Chu Tianyao have been married for less than a year, and neither of them has even applied for a marriage certificate.
"But I originally collected two thousand yuan from the Chu family..."
Zhong Dafen hesitated a little.
When Liu Yuling heard this, she simply said: "It's just two thousand yuan. Just give it back to Chu Tianyao. I'll go to the village chief's house tomorrow and ask. They are also willing to pay this money."
Seeing that Zhong Dafen had not yet made a decision, Lucy Liu continued to persuade:
"You have also seen what happened today. Chu Tianyao is just a faggot and is of no help to our family. Although He Dazhuang is a lame, his father is the village chief. Whatever happens in the village in the future, he will not be able to take care of him.
Order our house?"
Lucy Liu's persuasion made Zhong Dafen a little moved.
"Okay, Yuling, I'll listen to you."
Zhong Dafen finally made a decision.
Although she didn't know a word of Chinese characters, she still knew that people died for money and birds died for food.
Moreover.
Liu Na had worked hard to give birth to her, so she only received two thousand yuan as a gift, which was a bit of a loss.
