Since there was nothing going on at home, Wang Muxiao agreed. Liu Hua hugged Lu Wenfeng and went to the Gao family’s wedding banquet together. Since they couldn’t come empty-handed, they also brought a jar of pickles as a wedding gift.
They thought the things they brought were cheap, but when they saw that the gifts brought by others were either half a bag of flour, two strings of sausages, or half a bag of whole grains, they suddenly felt that their gifts were more than enough.
They sat at a table in a corner of the yard, waiting for the dishes to be served. They were shocked when they saw that most of the dishes were vegetables with only a small bowl of braised pork. The braised pork was cut so thin that it disappeared after a few chews.
Only 15 slices were given to each table, and there were at least 10 people at one table. In addition to the vegetarian dishes, a small bowl of egg soup noodles was also given. The noodles had no flavor as the soup was so clear that you could barely see the egg.
After seeing the food for the banquet, they understood why the villagers came with these gifts. Compared to the food, the gift was generous. While eating, Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua kept looking at the bride and groom’s table.
Seeing Su Ana so calm, both of them saw the confusion in each other’s eyes. Did Grandma Gao’s beating really subdue her?
Knowing how much Su Anna was obsessed with Li Chenmo, Wang Muxiao felt that the current situation was like the calm before the storm. She felt something might happen in the future and it wouldn’t be a good thing.
At the same time, in another city, the Su family was in panic because Father Su and Su Bohan received a letter of dismissal. Sitting in the small living room, Father Su looked pale, while Mother Su was crying.
Hearing his wife’s sobs, Father Su was very angry. He pounded the table and shouted, "Cry, cry, cry! All you know is crying!"
When her husband scolded her, Mother Su became angry and retorted, "Why are you scolding me? If you were so capable, why were you suddenly fired?"
Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel again, Su Bohan shouted, "That’s enough! Instead of arguing, it’s better to find a way to solve this matter. Someone must be targeting our family, otherwise my father and I wouldn’t have been dismissed so suddenly."
Shocked by his son’s outburst, Father Su and Mother Su stopped talking.
After a while, Su Bohan added, "Father, Mother, have you offended anyone recently?"
Father Su was deep in thought, but Mother Su shook her head, "I have been staying at home and only occasionally talked to the neighbors. They cannot have the power to have both you and your father fired from the factory."
"Then, who is it?" Su Bohan said with confusion.
After a long time, Father Su suddenly said, "Anna said in her last letter that she wanted to marry a man named Li Chenmo and asked us to prepare a dowry for her. Does this matter have anything to do with that man?"
Su Bohan shook his head and said, "It’s impossible. Didn’t my sister say that man was going to marry her? What’s more, if they were planning to get married, why would he attack our family?"
As soon as the call was connected, he said, "Just do it as usual, make sure they receive the documents tonight."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and when he heard a knock on the door, he said, "Please come in."
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Yiqing walked in and asked, "Brother, have you eaten?"
Seeing his sister, a smile appeared on his cold face as he said, "Not yet."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Yiqing sighed and said, "I knew you would skip your breakfast. Let’s eat together. I’m hungry."
"Alright."
After signing the documents, he and Xiao Yiqing left the office together with a smile on his face, as if he had not given orders to destroy the Su family just now.
Meanwhile, in Xie village, Lu Jueyu was reading a book on the backyard veranda. Not long after, she heard a knock on the backyard door. After putting the book into her own space, she went to open the door and saw Bajie standing outside.
