Chapter 213 The troublemaker
Sun Manni happily went out to show off.
Seeing this, Xu Xiwen said sourly, "My mother has never looked at me so kindly."
Gu Mingyue deliberately said, "Alas, this is a matter of personal charm, you can't envy it. I also want to be low-key, but my strength does not allow it..."
Xu Xiwen had a constipated expression on her face. "To paraphrase you, narcissism is a disease and must be treated."
Lu Xue walked in at this time, holding a square object in her hand.
Xu Xiwen's attention was immediately diverted, "Xiaoxue, is this the gift you gave me?"
Lu Xue was surprised at her makeup at first, but when she heard the question, she said shyly, "My gift is not as amazing as Mingyue's. Don't be disappointed later."
After he opened the wrapped cloth, he found a picture of a hundred joys written by himself with a brush.
One hundred Chinese characters for "囍" were written in different fonts and then framed. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into the creation.
Xu Xiwen's eyes became red unconsciously. "I like it, I like it very much. Thank you, Xiaoxue. Oh, you all have to recruit me, I can't cry, otherwise my makeup will be ruined."
Gu Mingyue teased, "Then you must control yourself. If your makeup gets ruined by crying, you have to put it back on. Look, you know I'm not as patient as Xiaoxue, so just be direct and give me the red envelope. I wish you and your spouse a long and happy life together."
At nine o'clock in the morning, the wedding procession arrived.
When Gu Mingyue met Xu Xiwen’s husband for the first time, he was wearing a white shirt and military pants. He was very gentle and gave people a particularly clean and neat feeling.
The groom's name is Shao Wenzhe. He has a mild temper. No matter how difficult the people blocking the door were, he never showed any sign of annoyance. He responded to all the questions sincerely and his emotions were very stable.
I heard that after graduation, the other party joined the research institute of the Harbin Military Factory and seemed to be pursuing scientific research. The couple, one quiet and one active, complement each other.
Gu Mingyue was forced by Xu Kejian to get into their car and go to the man's house for dinner.
During the meal, she and Lu Xue sat at the main table. Most of the people around them were from the system. They noticed two young girls sitting there and were very curious.
Especially if there are young people of marriageable age in the family, they would take a sneak peek from time to time and secretly decide to ask someone about it after the wedding.
Lu Xue was a little nervous because of the stares, but Gu Mingyue was calm and at ease, waiting for the meal to start. She heard that the Shao family had specially hired a chef from a state-owned restaurant to help cook, so she was looking forward to it...
It must be said that Xu Xiwen's outfit today is very eye-catching. It's not the kind that is flashy, but it's the kind that makes people's eyes light up just by standing there.
The red veil on her head fluttered in the wind, making the bride look more beautiful than a flower.
The people below were talking non-stop, most of them were blessing, someone couldn't help but joked, "Our groom's eyes are about to grow on the bride."
This caused people around to burst into laughter.
Suddenly a harsh voice rang out, "Isn't it a bad idea for the bride to dress so fancy?"
The speaker was a middle-aged woman with a pointed chin and monkey-like features. As soon as she spoke, the place suddenly fell silent.
The middle-aged woman not only did not restrain herself, but became even more aggressive. "Isn't it? Right now, we advocate keeping everything simple. Our Shao family is a well-known family. We should set an example and not knowingly commit a crime. Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that red veil is too eye-catching. I think it's better to take it off."
The Xu family looked unhappy.
Gu Mingyue asked in a deep voice, "Aunt, who is this person?"
"She's father-in-law Xiwen's sister-in-law." Sun Manni showed her displeasure rarely.
Looking at her expression, Gu Mingyue guessed that every family has its own problems, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.
After sorting out the relationships in my mind, the wife of my father-in-law's younger brother...that means she should be my aunt.
Then he stood up and said innocently, "Auntie, the red flower you mentioned is a gift from me to my good friend Xu Xiwen. It was sewn with leftover cloth, and every stitch contains my blessing for her. People often say that the gift is small but the sentiment is great. I thought city people didn't value this thing, but you guys care so much about it."
The middle-aged woman's name was Yu Guilan. She had introduced her niece to Wen Ze, hoping to strengthen the relationship, but she was met with a cold shoulder.
Of course, she would not admit that she was just trying to take advantage of others. She just thought that her eldest brother's family looked down on others because they were rich.
Her husband once gave up the opportunity to go to school, otherwise how could she have achieved what she has now.
With this idea in mind, Yu Guilan was fearless. "From what you said, you must be a country bumpkin. What do you know? Nowadays, we advocate thrift and diligence. You made the bride so ostentatious, which indirectly put my Shao family in an unfair position. If anyone here accidentally lets it slip and spreads that our Shao family held a grand wedding, the consequences will be disastrous. You are just an ignorant girl."
Yu Guilan actually knew that the bride came from a good family, and if she really clashed with her, she would not end up well.
Therefore, they would pick on trivial matters. If the bride's family would make a fuss, it would be an exaggeration. If they don't make a fuss...it would also be annoying.
It can be seen that this person is just trying to disgust people.
"You have a pretty good eye. I am indeed from the countryside." Just as the other party was about to put on a smug expression, Gu Mingyue changed the subject and said, "In the countryside, we pay attention to seeking good omens on wedding days. We don't argue with others about anything, just to make the newlyweds live smoothly and harmoniously in the future. I only found out after entering the city that there are people who specifically pick on others when they are happy, with high-sounding reasons. To put it bluntly, isn't it just that they can't stand seeing others doing well? Oh, look at me, a country person who can't speak well. I didn't say that you were unreasonable. Oh, I was wrong again. Auntie, don't mind it. Seeing your face, I have learned what it means to speak without restraint. No wonder everyone wants to move to the city. You can really learn a lot!"
"Haha..." Many of the people sitting there couldn't help but laugh out loud. If it was the head of the Shao family who spoke, they could still be polite. He was just a relative who came to ask for money, and no one would care.
Xu Xiwen wanted to get angry. Having grown up with Wen Ze, she knew his aunt very well.
Before the marriage, they also agreed that if anything happened in front of her, she would never give him face.
But she didn't expect that this person would dare to cause trouble at her wedding. This was too much to tolerate. She was about to lose her temper, but when Mingyue stood up and gave her a look, she held herself back.
Shao Wen Ze apologized, "I'm sorry, Wenwen, my parents warned my uncle's family before, but they must have been sure that my dad didn't have the heart to blame them. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
Xu Xiwen was quite satisfied with his attitude. She calmed down and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Yu Guilan was so angry that she shouted, "You little bitch, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Gu Mingyue replied calmly, "I am the youngest in my family, but I have a high seniority in the clan. If you go to our place, you have to call me aunt. I didn't finish college and returned to the village to become the village party secretary. I wrote a few articles, which were fortunately published in newspapers and received good responses. Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to get a comment from a senior leader, 'The heroic spirit writes about the green mountains, and the heroic spirit of women is flourishing'! I wonder if I am qualified to talk to you with my identity?"
