Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Get Married
"Big brother."
Jiabao saw Zhe Yuan and chuckled, then headed toward the courtyard.
Zhe Yuan watched Jiabao, barely containing his anger, as he entered the courtyard.
On a day that should have brought great joy to her son, Mrs. Wu’s face darkened at once, making the atmosphere rather gloomy. She snapped at him, "Zhe Yuan, it’s your sister’s big happy day, and you can’t even offer a smile.
People who don’t know any better would think you don’t want your sister to get married!"
"I just don’t approve. What’s wrong if my sister marries Jiabao?" Zhe Yuan retorted sharply without mincing his words.
Guests attending the event were stunned and turned to watch the heated exchange between Mrs. Wu and Zhe Yuan.
Mrs. Wu had not expected her son to shame her so publicly, and she was furious, grinding her teeth as she shouted, "You ungrateful brat, a disobedient son, are you only happy if you anger me to death?"
"Zhe Yuan." Third Uncle Zhou called out and grabbed his nephew.
Zhe Yuan shot his mother an annoyed look and walked away.
Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the bride was received at the Wu family’s home.
The Zhou family had few relatives, just Zhou’s sons and Huo Chen. They headed together toward the Wu family.
Mrs. Wu somehow found out about the restaurant owned by Aunt Zhou where the wedding banquet was being held.
When the Zhou family arrived, they were surprised. Upon seeing Aunt Zhou, a waiter exclaimed joyfully, "Boss, you’ve finally arrived.
This wedding banquet is honestly for our family. But how should we handle the payment?"
"Who referred you?" Aunt Zhou asked.
The waiter pointed to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu among the crowd, "It was those two, claiming they are relatives with you, the owner.
They also mentioned not paying anything!"
The waiter was skeptical, figuring these two, who behaved like unreasonable shrews, couldn’t possibly be related to the owner.
Aunt Zhou praised the waiter, "You did well. I have no relation to that person.
If they’re booking a banquet, let them pay for it."
The waiter nodded quickly and approached Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu, "Auntie, you haven’t paid yet.
We’ll serve the dishes once we receive the payment."
Mrs. Wu was not pleased to hear this, "Wait a minute, I’ll talk to your boss."
The waiter rolled her eyes, "Even if my own boss dines here, he has to pay."
Mrs. Wu disbelievingly went straight to Aunt Zhou, who echoed the same sentiment. Aunt Zhou loudly said, "Mrs. Wu, back when you married my younger brother, even then you had to pay when dining here.
Now you’re no longer my sister-in-law, so what? You come to eat and still don’t want to pay, dreaming during the day? Do you know how much money it costs to feed all these people? Should I stop earning money?"
"Isn’t this your niece getting married?" Mrs. Wu said sullenly.
Aunt Zhou grew even angrier, "Usually, the groom’s side handles the wedding banquet, yet here her own family is expected to pay.
What? Is the groom’s side so poor they can’t even afford food, and you still want her to get married to starve?
If Zhou Ru and her family can’t pay, I suggest you call the wedding off." Aunt Zhou said angrily.
Unexpectedly, the next second Zhou Ru agreed, "Okay."
Aunt Zhou was stunned; the girl had changed her mind.
Jiabao was indeed desperate, having finally convinced his cousin to marry him, how could he let her just call off the wedding.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Zhou Ru coldly looked at him, "Is it your family marrying me?"
"Yes."
"The groom should pay for the wedding banquet, right?"
"Yes."
"So what does your family mean?"
At that, Wu Jiabao glared at Wu Meinan and Mrs. Wu,
"Aunt, Grandma, do you still want me to get married, do you still want to hold a great-grandson?
Are you deliberately trying to stop me from getting married?" Saying this, Wu Jiabao was about to make a scene.
Mrs. Wu, seeing this, exclaimed and reluctantly asked Aunt Zhou, "How much does it cost?"
"How many tables do you want to set up, because it looks like there are quite a few guests."
Zhou Ru directly said, "Just like what my mom and my grandma asked for yesterday."
Aunt Zhou nodded, immediately asked a waiter, who promptly replied, "It will be ten tables, two hundred yuan."
As soon as these words came out, it nearly killed Mrs. Wu, "Why is it so expensive, can it be cheaper?"
The waiter smiled and said, "This is already a discounted price. The original price is 250, but that number doesn’t sound good, so we directly gave you a 50 discount."
Uncle Zhou looked at the waitress and wanted to laugh very much.
Mrs. Wu, with a grim face, quickly ran back home to get the money.
Only then did Zhou Ru agree.
Wu Jiabao, smiling, watched Zhou Ru, and seeing him like this made her feel immensely relieved. She was going to turn the Wu family upside down, which was only fair considering how her mother always looked after the Wu family.
"Cousin, you’re really pretty," Wu Jiabao said with a smile. He had liked his cousin since he was little. It was Chinese New Year that day, and everyone had a drink together. When he came back, he saw Zhou Ru crying in the corner of the village entrance.
He couldn’t help himself and did what he did, but luckily his cousin ended up marrying him.
"Mm, I’m tired. Could you find me a room to rest in?"
Wu Jiabao immediately nodded, taking Zhou Ru to a separate room.
By then, all the guests had taken their seats at the banquet tables. The Zhou family occupied three tables, the Wu family also took three tables, and Wu Meinan, believing she wouldn’t need to pay since it was Aunt Zhou’s venue, had invited four table-worth of neighbors.
She did this to boast and invited quite a few people.
Meanwhile, Wu Meinan followed Mrs. Wu back home, Mrs. Wu’s piercing gaze slashing at Wu Meinan.
"I told you not to invite so many people, but you insisted. Now, it’s still your old mother who has to pay.
Let me tell you, you are going to pay me for the extra tables, and if you don’t have it now, you will when you get your salary." Mrs. Wu was not about to pay a cent more.
Wu Meinan was filled with anger, but there was nothing she could do but nod to her lifelong mother.
The two took the money and hurriedly went to the banquet, and as soon as the money appeared, the dishes started to be served.
Mrs. Wu, thick-skinned, didn’t forget Xu Ying and Huo Chen, directly running over with a glass of wine, "You must be Ru Ru’s cousins.
Please forgive any past offenses from Ru Ru."
Mrs. Wu was all smiles, having seen the young Minister Xu in the newspaper, a highly capable person indeed, and heard that this young lady had opened the restaurant for her Aunt Zhou.
It was a shame her own daughter wasn’t capable enough to have this young lady open a restaurant for her too.
However, Mrs. Wu trusted her own mouth—perhaps she could sweet-talk the young lady into a state of delighted agreement to eventually open a restaurant for her too.
"You’re Yingying, right? You’re really pretty and capable too. Now that we’re family,
Jiabao is your brother-in-law now. He still doesn’t have a good job, Yingying, Grandma wants to ask you, could you find a job for our Jiabao?
You own a restaurant, maybe let your brother-in-law learn to work there as a manager or something."
