Chapter 398 399. Smooth
The engagement ceremony went smoothly. The space at home was really limited, and not only people came to present betrothal gifts, but Ming Yunde also invited many relatives and friends in addition to people from his hometown. After the ceremony, they moved to Su's Restaurant.
The Su family already has many branches, so today they simply won’t be open to the public and will only entertain relatives and friends.
Jian Fan and his friends only then realized that the chef they had always thought of was actually the boss of their restaurant chain.
In addition, there were people of all kinds coming today, and it was just a simple engagement party, but there were twenty or thirty tables.
"How is the Ming family's logistics company?" Jian Fan privately pulled Jian Cheng aside.
When Jian Cheng mentioned the name of the logistics company, Jian Fan's expression became a little complicated. He had thought it was just a small company before, but he didn't expect it to be such a huge company.
"Such a big boss still lives in such an old house?" Jian Fan was a little unconvinced.
"Isn't this what should be done? The engagement should be held in the old house, and what's wrong with this house?" Jian Cheng didn't think there was anything to dislike about it, but when he thought about Jian Fan's personality, he understood.
At that time, the houses left by grandpa were all old houses, which Jian Fan didn't like at all, otherwise he wouldn't have transferred them so readily.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Jian Cheng said, "What's there to say? This is a matter between Huanxi and me."
Jian Fan, "...their family is so wealthy, why are you giving away all your company?"
"Okay, what are you talking about here, grabbing your son?" Tian Gancao came over from nowhere and grabbed his collar. "The in-laws over there are already inviting us to take a seat. Don't lose your manners."
At the same time, he looked at Jian Cheng gently, "You should also go and entertain the guests. I'll take care of your father here."
She is not as stupid as Jian Fan. If she offends her son, he will be the one who suffers.
"We're having a meal now, and it's not a formal occasion. How about calling Li Yiping and her daughter over?" Anyway, they're divorced now and he's remarried, so there shouldn't be any big problem calling his wife and daughter over.
Tian Gancao looked at him with a smile, "Then where should they sit when they come here?
Do you think they can sit at the head table?
I advise you not to say that, or you will be embarrassed later."
"I'm just talking," Jian Fan snorted coldly, "Aren't you going to take a seat? Let's go!"
Seeing Jian Fan getting angry and embarrassed, Tian Gancao didn't care at all. She found that she was living a comfortable life since her divorce.
She was so stupid before. In order to follow in this man's footsteps, she treated her only son badly. But there is no way to regret it. Now, as long as she doesn't cause trouble for her son, it will be a bit of a remedy.
There was no sarcasm and no one was trying to make trouble, and the banquet went smoothly.
The people in the Ming family's old house were not in a good mood.
Several elders in the village were brought over to attend the engagement party, and Ming Yunde only informed Xie Aping, as her grandmother, and said that he would not let them go back and forth.
At that time, they had a lot of objections. Ming Yunde, this shameless man, actually asked them directly how much gift money they wanted to prepare?
At most they would just do it as a token of their appreciation, why would they prepare any gift money?
Who knew Ming Yunde would push it further, "Wrong, it should be a dowry. When my two nieces got engaged, I also prepared some for them. I gave each of them a set of gold jewelry. As their uncle, you, as well as their brothers and sisters, should show some appreciation...
Don’t ask for more. Just arrange it according to the gift I give you.”
Ding Zhu covered his pocket, grabbed Ming Yunti and walked to the back, "Why are you going? It's not like you haven't eaten yet.
This meal is too expensive, it will cost several thousand yuan, I don't want to go. Your mother had better not go, or your eldest brother will be so shameless that he might really use her pension fund.
The richer they are, the stingier they are. They actually want us to return the gifts we gave them.”
The same situation happened with Ming Laoer. The meal was really not tasty.
After a discussion, the few people decided not to ask Xie Aping to come forward. They directly told Ming Yunde, "Although the road has been repaired, my mother is not in good health and is not suitable for riding in this way.
She won't be there when the time comes, and we'll have someone take our gifts over."
Ming Yunde looked at them without saying anything, then turned around and left.
It was not until the day before the engagement that the two brothers reluctantly took out a red envelope with the gift money, which looked quite thick, and asked Uncle Ming to help pass it on.
Mingjing took the red envelope from Mingtang with a smile, and before they could stop her, she took out the money inside, "Let me see how big the gift is...
Oh, how much is this? "
Mingtang was surprised, "Let's count them, so that we don't have to embezzle them later."
Fortunately, the fourth brother was smart, otherwise the bag would be so thick with only a few bills in it, and others would think he was the one who was causing trouble.
"Ten, twenty... fifty, sixty, one, two... five, six," Mingjing said loudly, "It's really a big deal, there are 66 pieces..."
Such a gift is considered generous in the village, but this is the engagement of my niece, and it also means adding to the dowry in the future. Is it affordable? ?
Ming Yunde was quite generous to his nieces. When they got married, they were all given a complete set of gold jewelry. If you don't say a complete set, just give them a total of one.
The Ming brothers also knew that they were in the wrong, so they stammered a few words and left in a hurry.
Such an embarrassing thing was exposed in front of the whole village, so that from yesterday till now, they dared not go out.
Just now they saw people coming back from a banquet at the entrance of the village, so they quickly hid back home, fearing that this matter would be brought up again.
Xie Aping looked at them coldly. Ever since the old man left, she had become less and less active and didn't really want to do any work. She just planted some of her favorite side dishes.
Because of this, the second and third brothers all became a little weird.
Thinking back now, her favoritism towards the old man was really a joke.
If it weren't for the pension given by the eldest brother every month, these two brothers would have kicked themselves out of the house.
As for whether Ming Huanxi gets married or not, it is not important to her. The eldest son has become estranged from her, and she has no feelings for her children. It makes no difference whether she goes or not, and whether she gives a gift money or not.
But there are always a few people in the village who can’t stand it. As soon as they got off the car at the village entrance, they went straight to the old house and said, “Alas, it’s such a pity that you didn’t go. The scene was so lively.
I heard that the restaurant was opened by your eldest brother’s father-in-law. It’s very old-fashioned and the food there is the best we have ever eaten.”
Ming Yunti and the others knew that these people came with bad intentions, but they couldn't help but prick up their ears. They also wanted to know how grand Ming Huanxi's engagement party was...
