Chapter 970 Problems That Money Can't Solve

The place where I have lived for 18 years is the best no matter the circumstances.

It has been two years since Chu Zifeng went to Nanjing to go to university, and he has also jumped to 20 years old, but he has only returned home once. The last time he came back, due to various reasons, he did not stay for too long.

Now, it happens to be during the winter vacation again, and Chu Zifeng still has a month to go. During this month, he should take a good rest and spend more time with his family.

The hometown is still the old hometown, no matter how long it takes, no matter how much it is built, in Chu Zifeng's mind, there is no slight change, the city is still this city, the orphanage, or the orphanage where he has lived for 18 years.

But today's orphanage seemed a bit deserted. When Chu Zifeng got off the train, took the bus, and returned to the orphanage, he found that no one seemed to be at home, and even the gate was closed.

"It's winter vacation now, the children shouldn't have to go to school, and it's still dinner time, why did you close the door!"

Chu Zifeng walked to the gate and patted on the door a few times. Could it be that the orphanage's work and rest time changed, and the gate began to close at dinner time?But this is not a bad thing, at least, the children can't go out at night, so they can't play some missing persons, which makes Dean Li and the others anxious!

"Who is it?"

Inside the gate, Aunt Hong's voice sounded. Although it was only a year since she came back last time, she seemed to be much older when she heard Aunt Hong's voice. When the small side door next to the gate opened, Chu Zifeng saw wearing The red aunt in the apron knew that she was cooking just now, and she smelled of oily smoke all over her body!

"Aunt Hong, it's me!"

Chu Zifeng had a smile on his face, but when he saw the extra wrinkles on Aunt Hong's face, his heart was sour and he couldn't show it.

This is a rare time to come back, no matter what, I can't let my family worry about it!

When Aunt Hong saw that standing at the gate was Chu Zifeng, whom she brought up with one hand, a smile appeared on her tired face, and a pair of oily hands grabbed Chu Zifeng's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Zifeng, why don't you call when you come back, so we can pick you up at the train station!"

"Aunt Hong, I didn't bring anything here, so..."

"Stop talking about that, come in quickly, there's a fire inside, and it's cold outside."

In fact, when Chu Zifeng said that he didn’t bring anything, he felt a little bit uneasy. It’s rare to come back, but he didn’t bring anything. You said that you are already a man of extraordinary value and the attention of the world. How could the family who grew up not bring any gifts back? Although the people in the orphanage don't care about these, Chu Zifeng's intentions are not enough!

Like last time, give money directly?But Chu Zifeng took a look at the orphanage, and it was no better than before. It is estimated that the money he gave last time was used by Dean Li for the children's study and life, and he had no intention of renovating the orphanage at all. hospital.

Entering the courtyard, there were no other people, Chu Zifeng asked, "Aunt Hong, where are Dean Li and the others?"

Aunt Hong hesitated a little, as if she didn't want to answer Chu Zifeng, she changed the subject and said, "Zifeng, you must have just got off the train and haven't eaten yet. Wait, Aunt Hong has just cooked the meal, so here's You bring it out."

"No need, Aunt Hong, I ate it on the train."

"That's okay, the things on the train are not nutritious."

Chu Zifeng smiled and didn't speak. He knew Aunt Hong's temperament and always cared about the nutrition of the children. According to what Aunt Hong said, one meal does not need to be full, but the daily nutrition must be kept up.

She didn't refuse, and Aunt Hong brought the food in less than a minute.

Hometown stir-fried pork, eggs, these are Chu Zifeng's favorite foods, and they are very common, without any tricks, and the style is not good-looking, but the taste is definitely better than those in five-star hotels.

Even if he ate it on the train, seeing Aunt Hong's cooking, Chu Zi's mouth was watering because of the aroma, so he didn't hesitate to eat it directly.

"Aunt Hong, where are the brothers and sisters? Why haven't you seen Dean Li?"

Aunt Hong had just ordered something for Chu Zifeng, but when she heard Chu Zifeng's question, her face immediately changed.

"Don't mention it, I was originally asked to go over for dinner, but I just didn't like that family, so I didn't go."

"Aunt Hong, this is not like you. In the past, there were people treating guests, and you would definitely go there. When you came back, you brought us a lot of delicious food. What happened today?"

Aunt Hong said angrily: "Since others look down on us, why should we make fun of ourselves! If it weren't for Dean Li's refusal, fearing that Ruoyu would lose face, we wouldn't bring the children there."

Hearing what Aunt Hong said, Chu Zifeng immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "Aunt Hong, what's the matter? Has someone come to bully you?"

Seeing that Chu Zifeng's face changed drastically, Aunt Hong immediately closed her mouth, and said with a smile: "Zifeng, this matter is not a big deal, you should eat more, don't worry about it."

"No, if someone really bullies you, how can I ignore it."

Aunt Hong slapped herself lightly on the face, and said: "Look at my mouth, Shang Ming has already told me several times, you must not tell you about this when you come back, I, I..."

"Brother Shangming won't let you talk? Is it about sister's wedding?"

Liang Shangming came back early, and now I heard from Aunt Hong that Liang Shangming refused to tell her. There must be something wrong.

"Zifeng, don't ask, your elder sister will get married in two days, there are a lot of things, we just bear it and get over it."

Since it was related to sister's marriage, how could Chu Zifeng not ask.But after thinking about it again, it's not right. I met that brother-in-law when I came back last time. He is quite nice and treats sister very well. He is still a veteran and has full of enthusiasm. Maybe, if that's the case, sister wouldn't marry him either!

The more Chu Zifeng thought about it, the more something was wrong. In a situation like this, the matter was related to the wedding, but it had nothing to do with the brother-in-law-to-be. What does this mean? There is only one answer.

"Aunt Hong, is that brother-in-law's family more troublesome?"

Aunt Hong is straight-hearted and quick-tempered. If you want her to keep a secret, it's fine for a while, but after half an hour, she will definitely tell it!

"I really can't help it. Zifeng, do you know that your brother-in-law's family is too much, because you know your sister's family conditions are not good, and you know that your sister works in our orphanage, so I started Against this marriage, if your brother-in-law hadn’t insisted on marrying your elder sister, their family would definitely not have agreed. Originally, this matter had already been resolved, and everyone said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Although your elder sister said that her family conditions are not good Well, she doesn't have a good job either, but she has a good education, she is kind, and she is beautiful, and their family has no choice but to agree to this marriage."

"Since you have already agreed, what are you angry about, Aunt Hong?"

"What's the matter? When it comes to this matter, it's more angry than their family seeing you and your elder sister. Their family can be regarded as a prominent figure in our city. Otherwise, it would be impossible to arrange such a good job for their children, but The wedding arrangement they proposed the day before yesterday made people very angry."

Indeed, no matter in a big city or a small city, it is very difficult to find a job in an administrative department or a civil servant. This is China's national conditions, no matter where you are.Since the prospective brother-in-law is capable of working in the public security industry, it means that his family has certain conditions, and Aunt Hong is right.

"Their family is so shameless, asking for a dowry from your elder sister's family, saying that they are a rich family, and it would be a shame to marry a daughter-in-law if the in-laws don't even have a dowry. And your elder sister's parents also think this It was reasonable, so they took out all their savings over the years and bought some jewelry as sister's dowry. But your sister insisted on opposing this, but since the jewelry has been bought, your sister will He took out all his savings and opened a passbook for her parents, planning to give it to them after marriage! After all, your elder sister’s parents are both old and retired. If there is even a little pension money Nothing, how should I live from now on."

Chu Zifeng said: "Aunt Hong, the money is not a problem, I believe Brother Shang Ming will not ignore it."

"Of course Shang Ming is kind, and took out [-], but you also know your sister's temper, will she ask for Shang Ming's money?"

"Then give it to sister in the name of the orphanage. I have a lot of money."

"Zifeng, Aunt Hong knows that you are filial, no matter how you change, she will treat us as your family. But the next problem cannot be solved by money!"

"Since there is a dowry, what's the problem?"

"Their family said that on the day of the wedding, 99 tables will be set up, implying that the banquet will last forever, and the money for the banquet will be paid half and half of your elder sister's family. Your brother-in-law also stood up for this matter, saying that the money is not worth it. It should be given by the woman, and he gave it himself, which made it difficult for his family to say anything. But the problem came again."

"No way, it's so over the top, the wedding wine, the woman naturally has relatives and friends on the woman's side, it all starts in the morning, and the man's side starts at noon, why does the woman have to pay for it! Hey, okay, Just pay the money, if the brother-in-law's side really can't do it, I will pay the money! But, what's the problem next?"

"This is what I said, the problem that money can't solve. Their family said that for the 99 tables of guests, their man's side will pack 49 tables of guests, and the rest will be left to the woman. In other words, the woman's side After finishing the marriage wine, the guests cannot be allowed to leave. All must go to the man’s side at noon to let the man’s family gain face. But, you also know the situation at your sister’s house. There are 490 tables of guests, ten people per table, Where do you want your sister's family to find these [-] people? No, tonight I invited your sister's family to have dinner with us, just to discuss this matter!"

Chu Zifeng smiled wryly. How could Chu Zifeng not know about the situation of Auntie’s house? Let alone 49 tables of guests, it is estimated that there were ten tables of guests on the day Auntie got married. Fifty tables of people.

It seems that the man's family is deliberately looking for trouble in order to prevent the marriage from being completed. If Chu Zifeng's guess is correct, the man's family probably didn't even send invitations, let alone notify any of their relatives and friends .

"Since they said this, we can't let sister lose face. I'm afraid that only 49 tables will not be enough."

After a pause, Chu Zifeng asked, "Aunt Hong, where are sister and the others? I'll go over and have a look."

"Zifeng, don't mess around!"

"Don't worry, my brother-in-law is a good person. I won't make it difficult for him, and I won't make my elder sister lose face. If you dare to look down on my elder sister, I will let them know that there is someone like my elder sister." Daughter-in-law, I don’t know how many lifetimes their family has cultivated blessings.”

Just kidding, you dare to make things difficult for the elder sister of the crown prince, and you dare to look down on them. If you don't give those guys a little bit of trouble, then sister will not suffer every day in the future!

In fact, there is another reason for Chu Zifeng to go there in person, that is, since the other party's family is looking for trouble, the guests they ask for must not be just passers-by, otherwise, they can also spend money. please.

What kind of guests can't be invited with money?There is only one kind, the one with status.
