Chapter 190 No Banquet

The future life of these two people will definitely be good, as they both love each other.

Lan Qiuhua smiled and said to them, "Then let's go out and let the two little ones talk."

"Okay, let's go to the yard."

Qian Hongjuan nodded, walked to Shen Guyan, leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice.

"Ask him about his family's conditions and you'll have a better idea."

"Okay, I understand, Mom." She felt that there was nothing to ask, as she already knew everything she needed to know.

Ji Wenhe passed by her and winked at her.

The bedroom door was not closed, and they were standing under the eaves of the kitchen.

Lan Qiuhua asked: "Aunt Xie, the banquet is about to begin, right?"

"Alas." Xie Fenglian sighed, "I'm worried."

She glanced at Qian Hongjuan beside her and said, "My daughter-in-law has so many brothers and sisters at home. I'll invite the whole family to come."

"Her fourth sister has five children, and her sixth sister has seven children. There won't be enough space for them to sit unless they are eighty or ninety."

"I can't get the gift money back, and I have to spend money on it. I have discussed it with my old man and we don't plan to do it."

"When that day comes, let Dali come and take her back, and the marriage will be settled."

She said it easily, but she didn't consider Shen Guyan's feelings.

Ji Wenhe felt sorry for her, but he couldn't interfere in their family affairs.

"This..." Lan Qiuhua hesitated for a moment, "Then let's see what your family means. If we don't hold a banquet, I'm afraid people will talk about it."

It's not like my family can't afford it. The other party gave us a betrothal gift of three taels and eighteen taels. It won't cost even a small amount to set up a wedding with twenty tables.

Xie Fenglian said indifferently: "If they want to talk, they can talk. I have two grandchildren to take care of at home, and I don't have any savings. Where can I get the money to prepare a banquet for her?"

Qian Hongjuan opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.

inside the house.

Shen Guyan was leaning against the door, and Liu Dali was standing at the table, two meters apart.

After a long silence, he spoke first: "Why don't you buy some clothes with the money I gave you?"

She shook her head and said nothing.

Looking at the open-toed hemp shoes on her feet, I thought she was reluctant to spend money on buying more: "The money is given to you for your use, you don't have to save it, just buy whatever you need."

"I heard from Aunt Lan that you can do needlework, but you're not very good at it."

I didn't think about it when I bought the fabric, I thought she could make clothes.

"It's okay if you don't know how to make clothes. I'll ask the aunts to help me make two sets for you."

Shen Guyan raised his head, glanced at him, and then lowered it again: "I, I will."

Sewing clothes is no problem, but it’s not as detailed as others.

Liu Dali rubbed his hands, nervously not knowing what to say, and looked around.

"Then you, we, our marriage is settled, you, you wait for me to marry you."

After the conversation, both of them blushed.

She responded softly, "Yeah."

At this time, Lan Qiuhua walked to the door and waved with a smile: "Da Li, come out for a moment, Auntie has something to tell you."

"Hey."

After she left, Ji Wenhe walked into the house and took out a red envelope embroidered with a cat from his arms.

"Sister-in-law doesn't know what to give you. I don't have much money, otherwise I could buy you something nice."

There was some material left for making dolls, so I chose a lotus root color.

"I made it myself. I can only embroider the raccoon cat, and it's not very good. Take it and put the money he gave you in it."

"I'm giving this to you as a wedding gift in advance. Please don't despise it."

Shen Guyan smiled and took over: "Sister-in-law, thank you, I don't mind."

Looking at the awkward stitches, a warm feeling passed through my heart.

Ji Wenhe hugged her and patted her back gently: "If you have anything to say to each other, you should say it out loud. You can't hold it in."

"Live a good life with him over there. If anyone dares to make you angry, don't endure it. Be brave."

"You must be polite and courteous when you meet people. Your elder brother Rongshan often comes to Baiyun Mountain to sell goods. If you have any words, ask him to convey them to me."

Shen Guyan hugged her back, nodded continuously, and said in a tearful voice: "Well, I understand, sister-in-law."

Soon, Lan Qiuhua and Liu Dali came in.

She said, "The third and sixteenth day of the lunar month are both good days. Your grandmother and I have discussed it."

"The sixteenth is too far away. Your grandmother said it will be on the third day of the first lunar month. You should marry her early and enjoy happiness sooner."

The third day of the Chinese New Year is the eighth, today is the fourth, and there are four days left.

Shen Guyan nodded without objection: "Yes."

It's not her turn to make decisions on her own; it all depends on her grandmother.

Liu Dali glanced at her, put on the basket, and walked into the yard: "Grandma, Mom, I'm going home."

"Hey, be careful on the road."

Xie Fenglian and Qian Hongjuan sent him to the door.

After everyone left the village, he smiled and turned back to the house.

"Aunt Xie, Hongjuan, congratulations. I'm going back now as I have things to do at home."

"Wait a minute, don't leave yet." Xie Fenglian took a fish, gritted her teeth, and took a wild rabbit, "Qiuhua, come, take this back."

Lan Qiuhua waved her hands quickly: "Aunt Xie, this is a gift from Dali to you, I can't accept it."

"What can you take? You are the matchmaker between the two of them. There is nothing good in your home. Don't be disgusted by it."

The two men pushed each other, and Ji Wenhe was afraid that the fish would hit him, so he quickly retreated to the gate of the yard.

"Qiuhua, take it. If you don't take it, auntie will be angry again."

Qian Hongjuan echoed beside him: "Yes, Qiuhua, take it. We still have to thank you."

"Yes, take it quickly." Xie Fenglian stuffed the fish and hare into her arms.

Seeing this, Lan Qiuhua no longer refused: "Then I will accept it shamelessly."

"You will be happy if you take it from me."

Ji Wenhe smiled helplessly, but she did not miss the pain in Xie Fenglian's eyes.

"Aunt Xie, Hongjuan, let's go back then."

"Hey, go slowly."

The two nodded and walked down the path. Several aunts had already returned to the shed and were waiting.

"Aunt Lan, their family doesn't plan to hold a banquet, so do we still need to give them money as a gift?"

"It's up to you whether you want to send me off or not. I won't."

"Will someone say anything if I don't send it?"

"No, wait for me."

Lan Qiuhua put the things at home, came out and walked into the shed and said to her.

"The family has no money and can't afford a banquet, but the villagers won't say anything and will send the gifts they deserve, just like your uncle Ping's family."

"Your Aunt Xie's family took 328 yuan as betrothal gift, but they don't want to hold a banquet. We are not fools, we know exactly what you are thinking."

"That's right." Niu Guilan pouted, "She just doesn't want to spend money. She took so much betrothal gifts, but she still wants to take the betrothal money without spending a penny. How can there be so many good things?"

"Our family is really poor, so we won't say anything, but for a family like yours, Aunt Xie, we won't give any money as a gift."

"People like this are the least popular in the village, but Wen He, if you want to send it off, we won't say anything."
