C525 The Fare to Get off the Bus
C525 The Fare to Get off the Bus
"Forget it. If I go somewhere else at this time, I'm afraid there will be no more seats. Besides, they probably have forgotten about me a long time ago." Dongfang Qingyu revealed a trace of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth. He sped up a bit and walked in.
Sure enough, Third Aunt and Third Aunt's eyes only swept past him. He did not recognize who he was at all and his attention was mainly focused on Cheng Hongluan, Huang Yanmei and Li Hongdou. Not only them, almost everyone's gaze fell on the three of them. Cheng Hongluan was like a winter plum blossom, Huang Yanmei was like a spring peach blossom, and Li Hongdou was like a daffodil. Usually, it was rare to see such a beauty. The three of them gathered together. It made the surrounding guests lose their voices for a moment.
Third Aunt had already prepared to welcome them, but when she saw the three girls looking straight ahead and walking straight past, she realized that they were not her guests and looked embarrassed.
Just as Cheng Hongluan and the other two girls attracted the attention of the entire crowd, a convoy of cars arrived at the entrance of Curiosity Farm. The first one was a motor SUV with three numbers of 8 at the back of the license plate. The eleven or twelve cars at the back were all tens of thousands of cars. It was very imposing.
Before the first car opened, the second car rushed out and an expressionless lady came out. She wore pearls the size of a finger on her round wrist and neck, and her nails were painted red. Her lips were also as red as blood. Because he got off the car too quickly, his sharp and thin high heels happened to land on the analysis between the stone and the stone. He almost fell down.
Seeing that no one was there to welcome her, the lady's face turned ugly. She shouted at the crowd, "The newcomer is here. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and set off the firecrackers. Don't you want to get married?" Her voice was ear-piercing, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"The wedding car is here!" Everyone suddenly woke up. They shifted their attention away from Cheng Hongluan and the other two girls reluctantly.
"Quickly set off the firecrackers!" Third Aunt shouted anxiously.
"Fireworks, don't forget the firecrackers." Third Aunt shouted.
Firecracker obviously could not be set up at the entrance. It was under a Camphoragate tree more than 80 meters away. They had long been prepared. They circled around the tree in circles. After dozens of laps, it was estimated that this string was more than 100 meters. It was unknown whether the person who lit the fire was too nervous or the firecrackers had been on the ground for too long and had not been lit after a few times. It was already past 12 o'clock. The middle-aged woman's face was as gloomy as water. The relatives of the woman all got out of the car.
It wasn't easy for the firecrackers to be lit, but everyone somehow felt a shadow over their hearts.
Amidst the crackling sounds of firecrackers, everyone poured in front of the wedding car. They saw the groom wearing a black suit and a red tie get off the car first. He went to the other side of the car door and planned to carry the bride out of the car.
An accident happened.
"The fare is 288888 yuan." The bride refused to get off the train.
"Don't lose your temper, Feifei." Li Li said in a low voice. His voice contained a trace of anger, but it was mostly pleading.
"Not a single cent less." The bride's attitude was firm and there was no room for negotiation.
"You didn't even say it at the beginning. How could I give you so much money in such a short period of time?" Although Li Li was facing Fei Fei, he could feel the strange gazes from his family and friends.
This kind of sudden increase in price was always on the news. He had never thought that it would happen in real life and he would encounter it himself.
"I told you when I got in the car." Xiuniang was expressionless. "You didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, it would be a lot of more than 10,000 yuan."
"I thought you were joking." Li Li's expression was awkward.
"Who's joking with you? Do you think I'm willing to marry you? If you don't have money, then don't pay." The bride said coldly. There wasn't the slightest bit of happiness and joy that marriage should have on her face.
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll go get the money right away." Li Li wanted to get angry but didn't dare. He had sent all the money he had brought to pick up the bride. He didn't have a single cent left on him, so he could only look for his father.
"Didn't we make it clear before the betrothal gift? Why did you add more money?" Third Aunt was unwilling.
"I will go and talk to my in-laws." Third Aunt's husband was also unhappy in his heart, but today was his son's wedding day, so he did not want to get angry. He walked in front of the lady, but before he could say anything, the lady had already stopped in front of him.
"Does your son want to marry my daughter or not? Do you have any sincerity? He doesn't even want to give me the fare to get off the bus. How can he expect me to believe that his daughter will have a good life after marrying into your family? The auspicious hour is about to pass. If you value money so much, we'll immediately turn around and go to the hospital and abort the child. We won't get married anymore."
"I didn't say that I won't give it to you. I'm just asking if there are any other rules. I'll ask you all at once to make sure that you don't get caught off guard by another family's money." Third Aunt held back her anger and her smile stiffened.
"What do you mean? Who do you think we are? Do you fancy your money? Do we need this much money?" The lady was furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her voice rang out again, attracting the attention of the people nearby.
"Mom, don't be angry, we'll do it right away." Li Li quickly rushed forward to pull his father away, and at the same time, he comforted his mother-in-law.
Third Aunt's eyebrows jumped. She took a few deep breaths before suppressing her anger. She snorted and expressionlessly went to prepare the money. Fortunately, the money was not a lot. She directly took the money from the guests.
It was not easy to get the bride out of the car. The faces of the family and friends of the man were not very good. The relatives of the woman were not smiling either. All of them were expressionless, especially the mother-in-law. Her face was as dark as water. She could pick on anyone no matter where she went.
In the private room.
"It feels like it's so difficult to get married in your house." Huang Yanmei finished the soup and scooped another bowl. After the taro was steamed, she went to prepare the soup and put some oil smoke and green onions in it. It was incomparably delicious.
Curiosity farm was very big. It seemed that there were not many waiters, but the efficiency was very fast. During the time they were watching the show, the dishes had already been served.
"One leg costs 28,000 yuan, which is equivalent to my salary for more than a month." Li Hongdou said.
"Cough! Cough!" Dongfang Qingyu almost spat out the soup and stared blankly at Li Hongdou. His words were too sharp.
"If it were me, I would not have such a woman. Now that it is like this, after marriage, there will definitely be more trouble." Li Hongdou said as if nothing had happened.
As if to verify her words, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Dongfang Qingyu asked. If it was a waiter, he would come in after knocking on the door.
Three or four young men in suits walked in. Dongfang Qingyu and the other three immediately recognized them. These people were Li Li's best men, although they didn't understand what they were trying to do. They definitely had something to ask of them, because they all had flattering smiles on their faces. Some were holding wine, while others were holding cigarettes.
"I don't smoke. I drove here, and I don't drink either. If you have something to say, say it." Dongfang Qingyu said lightly. He did not have any ill feelings towards these people, but he did not have any ill feelings towards Third Aunt's husband's family. He also did not have a good impression of these people.
"Then I will say it." The four groomsmen looked at each other, unable to open their mouths. In the end, it was the best man with glasses who mustered up his courage and looked at Dongfang Qingyu. He tried his best to speak in a calm tone, "Can you give us the room?"
