“Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are a lot of people around the Jiang family and the Diao family today. In three days, Jiang Wu will marry into the Diao family. At this time, the Jiang family is almost decorated inside and outside. The big red lanterns and red silk flowers are so beautiful, but I don’t know if the Jiang family will still need those things after the marriage is completed, or else I will be shameless and ask for them. When my son gets married next month, he will be able to put it to use.”
The people in the village were also affected by the joy of the Jiang family marrying their daughter and the Diao family marrying their daughter-in-law. Every one of them had a bright faces, and when they met, they all talked about the Jiang and Diao families.
“Who says it’s not the case? Sister Diao is also very concerned about her nephew’s marriage. A few days ago, she hired a lot of people to help her cut red window paper. Now the windows and doors are covered with red 囍1囍, xǐ: double happiness (similar to 喜喜) / symbol of good luck, esp. marriage characters and magpies. That’s called beautiful.”
Widow Xu came to the river with a basin of dirty clothes. She felt a little unhappy when she heard the group of women chattering about the marriage between the Jiang family and the Diao family.
The women who were chatting happily also saw Widow Xu walking from a distance, winked at each other, and suddenly spoke louder.
“You said, we are all from the same village. On the day Ah Wu of the Jiang family got married, should we go to the Jiang family to drink at her going out banquet, or should we go to the Diao family to drink at her entrance banquet? The Jiang family is just such a precious girl, so we will definitely have a great time when going out for drinks. Meat is what the Diao family has the most, and she must be very willing to bring it out for a wife to enter the house for the first time. I just regret that I am not as good as the talented people written in the playbook, otherwise, I would not miss the banquets of these two families.”
“By the way, Widow Xu, Master Jiang has helped you mother and son a lot over the years, right? For Ah Wu’s marriage, you have to give a big red envelope when you go out. It seems that we can still see you at the Jiang family’s wedding banquet, right?”
After saying that, the fat woman covered her mouth and smiled meaningfully at Widow Xu.
This time, when Jiang Wu and Huo Lindong got married, almost everyone in the village was invited, and everyone also discussed it privately. On the day of the wedding, every household would send a woman who was quick at work to help.
When it was time for the wedding banquet, the family members were divided into two groups. One group went to the Jiang family to drink, and the other group went to the Diao family to drink, trying to make the banquets on both sides lively.
Everyone didn’t know if the Jiang family invited the Lin family regardless of past suspicions, but they really wanted to know if Widow Xu was so thick-skinned as to show up on Jiang Wu’s good day.
“On such a big day, she really deserves a big red envelope.”
Widow Xu gritted her teeth. Jiang Baozong had invited everyone in the village, but only the mother and son were not invited. Widow Xu felt deeply humiliated.
But, her son told her that on the day Jiang Wu got married, she not only had to go to Jiang’s house for a drink, but she must also give the Jiang family a big red envelope. Widow Xu couldn’t get her son to agree, but because of this incident, she felt angry these days.
