Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Don’t Let People Laugh at Your Lack of Manners
Xinyan, being a family member escorting the bride, naturally followed them to the dormitory provided by the distillery.
As soon as the convoy entered the distillery’s residential compound, firecrackers started going off.
Those who got along well with Yuan Yikai, as soon as they saw the wedding car stop, started causing a commotion, insisting that Yuan Yikai should carry his bride to the new house.
This was not an easy path to walk; he had just taken a step forward when someone pulled them back several steps.
When the onlookers saw the dowry being pulled by a double-row truck at the back, they said, "My goodness, this Xiao Yuan has married a lucky charm!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I heard that Xiao Yuan is marrying into the wife’s family."
"What, marrying into the wife’s family? Xiao Yuan has a good job and doesn’t look bad either. Our distillery even allotted him a house; you must be mistaken."
"No mistake about it, many people know, and it was Xiao Yuan himself who said it."
"Then why is Xiao Yuan picking up the bride?"
"Xiao Yuan has his own house, and they are going to live here after the marriage, so of course, he’s bringing her here. Besides, the wedding feast today is held at our distillery cafeteria."
"Whether he’s marrying in or marrying out, anyway, Xiao Yuan has got himself a wife, and besides, I heard Xiao Yuan only tidied up the room a bit, and the rest of the stuff was all set up by the Yue Family."
"Either way, Xiao Yuan is the one benefitting from this; think of how much money is saved. Look at what’s loaded on the truck, even a washing machine. That’s really generous! When will my son get to have such a lucky break?"
"Better dream about it at home."
Once all the dowry was moved inside and set up, the newlyweds entered, surrounded by the crowd.
It was Xinyan’s first visit; previously, the house was divided into two rooms. After Yuan Yikai’s aunt moved out, he removed the partition, making the house more spacious.
There was even a small kitchen outside, which was not bad.
Those who got along well with Yuan Yikai kept making a fuss, either asking for cigarettes to be lit or asking the couple to talk about their love story, making Sun Zhenling’s face blush like a little apple.
It was Yuan Yikai’s aunt who came up and said, "It’s about time; they should head to the cafeteria to greet the guests. Let’s all head over together."
Those people made another fuss, with someone shouting, "Buddies, today we must have a good drink with Xiao Yuan."
Someone else laughed and said, "Today is Xiao Yuan’s big day, you all better take it easy, don’t get Xiao Yuan too drunk to enter the bridal chamber."
Amidst the uproar, everyone headed to the distillery cafeteria.
On the way out, one could hear people talking about Sun Zhenling’s dowry: "My goodness, this dowry really is the grandest I’ve ever seen in this distillery, or even in this area."
"I heard from Xiao Yuan’s aunt that the girl’s side is not bad, her parents are both employees, and even little leaders in their units, and most importantly, both uncles are also leaders."
"No wonder, Xiao Yuan really hit the jackpot here, no wonder he was willing to marry into the wife’s family."
"That’s a bit sour, you know, Xiao Yuan and his wife fell in love freely. Besides, everyone in our residential compound knows Xiao Yuan’s family situation. Her parents are just thinking for their daughter, so Xiao Yuan’s troublesome family doesn’t come over and cause trouble all the time."
"True, if it were my daughter and I had such means and conditions, I would do the same. Xiao Yuan’s own mom and a bunch of relatives really have thick skin."
"Sigh, let’s go, let’s go, otherwise we’ll be late and can’t find a spot at the cafeteria."
Xinyan, listening to this from behind, thought she must remind her cousin again later, in case Yuan Yikai’s biological mother and his grandparents’ side come looking for trouble, she mustn’t soften her heart, to avoid ruining the plans her aunt and uncle had painstakingly made.
Thinking about this, she heard a commotion ahead: "Why aren’t we allowed in? We are Yuan Yikai’s relatives!"
Walking beside her, Wang Xiaodan quickly ran forward, squeezed into the crowd: "Yuan family elder sister-in-law, if you really consider Yikai as a relative, you wouldn’t come over today to add trouble."
"Wang Xiaodan, how can you talk like that?"
As soon as Xinyan saw the situation, she couldn’t let these people spoil her cousin’s good day, glanced at the cafeteria entrance, and saw the person registering guests and gifts.
Quickly stepping up, she stopped Wang Xiaodan who was about to speak: "Aunt from the Yuan Family, right? Since you’re here to attend the wedding, you should register your cash gift first, so I can arrange the seating for you according to the rules."
With that one sentence, the scene fell silent instantly. The Yuan Family members were here mainly to scrounge for a meal and make things difficult for Yuan Yikai, so of course, they hadn’t prepared any cash gifts.
Hearing Xinyan’s words, they looked quite embarrassed, and then a younger aunt from the Yuan Family spoke up: "We’re all family, it doesn’t matter if we give the cash gift after the meal, to avoid keeping everyone waiting."
Wang Xiaodan naturally wouldn’t let them have their way: "The amount of the cash gift determines the seating. You know this banquet is hosted by the Sun Family today, don’t let people laugh at your lack of manners."
