That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 860: Even if you sell everything you have, you can’t beat them

Li Dayong's wedding procession returned to Beixinqiao. As soon as Pei Wenhui got off the car, she amazed the crowd of onlookers. Even Li Dayong's mother Qian Qingli was staring at the exquisitely dressed Pei Wenhui in a daze.

"Xiao Ye, is this bride Xiao Hui?"

"Aunt, what are you talking about? There is no such thing as marrying the wrong man these days! What's the matter? This daughter-in-law is so beautiful, are you not happy, aunt?"

"You're just talking nonsense. Who's unhappy?" Qian Qingli took a closer look and said with a smile, "It's true after a closer look. Why didn't I realize Xiaohui was so pretty before? Our Li family's ancestors are really proud of her."

Although the four major evil arts in East Asia have not yet developed to the stage of perfection these days, the makeup artists in Hong Kong are still very skilled. In addition, Pei Wenhui is already a little beauty, so with a little make-up, she can instantly kill everyone.

What's more, the wedding dress Pei Wenhui wore today was a handmade limited edition.

The people around were staring at Pei Wenhui's ancient wedding dress, unable to take their eyes away.

"The bride's dress is so beautiful, just like the ones the princesses wear in the movies."

"Yes, yes, you are right. It is the princess in the ancient movie. Look at the phoenix on it. It is all made of pearls. Li Ye, where did Dayong buy this costume? It is not cheap, right?"

Li Ye patiently explained: "This is not a costume, it is a wedding dress, it is hand-embroidered according to the tradition of our ancestors. It is not a matter of money, it is a culture and a heritage."

"Yeah, yeah, you're right, it's really cultured. But I say, Li Ye, why didn't you buy a dress for the bride last time you got married? I guess your family doesn't mind spending money, right?"

"."

Li Ye didn't expect the boomerang to hit him in the head. He and Wen Leyu were both "public servants", especially Wen Leyu's status, which made it impossible to have a lavish wedding.

But Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui are different. One is a rich lady from Hong Kong Island, and the other is a self-employed person. If the wedding is too low-key, Pei Wencong will not agree, as people will laugh at it for being shabby!
Sister Li Yue came over, blocked Li Ye behind her, and started to yell at the gossiping women: "Hey, hey, hey, how do you know my sister-in-law doesn't have this kind of wedding dress? If she had a wedding dress, why would she have to show it to you?"

"Oh my, Xiaoyue, you're overthinking. We're just asking, just asking."

A group of female relatives were driven away by elder sister Li Yue. Li Yue has never been a good person since she was a child. Now that she is "rich and powerful", she is even more powerful. Even the most powerful gossipy women have to stay away from her.

Of course, Li Yue was not just saying these things to show off. Wen Leyu not only really had this kind of phoenix crown and bridal robe, but also had the fish scale armor worn by ancient generals! They were all her personal collections, and she would never show them to ordinary people.

After all the relatives left, Li Yue whispered to Li Ye: "Don't get too close to them. They are all talkative. They can take a piece of twine and exaggerate it to make it into a hemp rope."

Li Ye nodded and smiled: "I know, I know. I know what's going on."

He must know!

Because country people are a very contradictory group. They are simple, kind, and attach great importance to blood ties.
But at the same time, they also have a snobbish and narrow-minded side. They will break their heads over the smallest things and are not afraid of doing weird things like using pesticides to take advantage of others.

The rich help the poor. Li Ye led some people to become rich first, but there are still many people who are not rich!
Some people are worth supporting, while others need to be kept at a distance. In this regard, sister Li Yue is much more experienced than Li Ye.

Because in the past few years, she was the one who always stood in front of Li Ye, withstanding all kinds of storms and experienced more than one or two messy things.

"The bride has given out red envelopes, go quickly."

As a new daughter-in-law, it was Pei Wenhui's duty to give red envelopes to the children and younger generations. As soon as she shouted, a large group of people gathered around.

"What kind of money is this? Hong Kong dollars?"

"."

"A thousand! How generous."

There was some commotion as someone explained the value of the Hong Kong dollar.

Li Dayong's family has many relatives, unlike Li Ye's family which has only one son for generations. Many people who are already quite old also came over with a smile and called Li Dayong "Uncle" or "Uncle" in exchange for a big gold bull.

Qian Qingli and Li He were gritting their teeth in anger, but there was nothing they could do. The other person is younger than them, what can they do?

"Ah, Qiangzi, you are really smart!"

Sister Li Yue glanced at Wang Jianqiang who was following Li Ye, and couldn't help but praise him.

Wang Jianqiang is getting married tomorrow, so his relatives have arrived in the next two days. However, although he comes from a large family, the number of relatives who came to Beijing this time is pitifully small, and there are only enough to fill one table.

The method he used was very simple. Except for a few people, anyone who wanted to attend my wedding had to pay for all the expenses themselves.
We don’t cover any travel expenses, accommodation expenses, or food expenses, and you still have to give a gift when you come. We just ask you whether you are still coming or not.

Some people scolded Wang Jianqiang as a good-for-nothing, but Wang Jianqiang, who was neglected by his grandmother and uncle since childhood, didn't care at all. When he was so hungry that he was digging grass roots by the river as a child, who gave him half a steamed bread?

Do you want him to pick you up and send you off now? And you still have the nerve to acknowledge those elders who put on airs?
Wang Jianqiang just looks stupid, but he is not really stupid!

But even if Wang Jianqiang disliked those relatives, he still had to invite his parents over, otherwise he couldn't say he was a child from an orphanage when he was worshipping heaven and earth. Wang Jianqiang's mother Fan Chunhua also came to attend Li Dayong's wedding today. From the moment Pei Wenhui entered the door, her eyes were fixed on him.

After Pei Wenhui gave out red envelopes to her younger generation, she finally ran over to ask Wang Jianqiang: "Qiangzi, when Su Wen gets married tomorrow, she will also have to wear a wedding dress like this, right?"

Wang Jianqiang said sullenly, "I don't know. It's up to the bride to decide what to wear. Why don't you ask Su Wen and her mother?"

"Why should I ask? If you don't ask, how can I ask?"

When Fan Chunhua heard what Wang Jianqiang said, she immediately wilted.

The daughter-in-law that Wang Jianqiang found is simply Fan Chunhua's nemesis. Not only is she sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued, but her brain also works very quickly. Especially when she quarrels with her mother-in-law, she won't stop chattering until Fan Chunhua is so angry that she's fuming.

But today, after seeing Pei Wenhui's show and chatting with a group of old women for a long time, Fan Chunhua felt a little unwilling.

"Qiangzi, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but your wedding date is behind Dayong's. Several relatives will be attending your wedding tomorrow, so you can't let Dayong lag behind you by too much."

Wang Jianqiang turned his head woodenly and looked at his mother: "Why should I compete with Brother Dayong? Brother Dayong is a college student, but I am not! Brother Dayong's family has many cadres, but we don't! Brother Dayong."

Wang Jianqiang listed the many advantages of Li Dayong's family in one breath, indicating that the two families were not at the same level, so why did they have to be compared together?
But the flower-growing families have a bad habit and tradition. The more ordinary the family conditions, the more they want to show off on such important occasions.

Your family spent 200,000 yuan to marry your daughter, and my family cannot spend a penny less when marrying off our daughter, even if it means borrowing money or taking out a loan.

"Well, why don't you go talk to Su Wen and ask her to prepare some red envelopes tomorrow and give them to our guests. We don't have many guests anyway, and we can't spend a few thousand yuan."

"."

Wang Jianqiang was silent for a long time, then said sullenly, "Mom, how much are you going to give me for my wedding this time?"

Fan Chunhua was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She said anxiously, "How can I have money? I don't earn the same salary as you and your wife. Your monthly salary combined is several hundred yuan, and you still ask me for money."

When hearing what my mother said, an honest man like Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes.

If you want your wife to give you money to make you proud, then you must also have a good relationship with her!
Sister Li Yue couldn't help but speak up for Qiangzi: "Alright, aunt, stop making trouble here.
I will talk to Xiaohui tomorrow and ask her to borrow a makeup artist to make Su Wenhua look pretty and make sure she doesn't bring shame to your Wang family. As for the rest, you as parents will have to figure it out."

"Then can Na be as beautiful as Dayong's wife?"

"Yes, definitely yes!"

"That's fine then!"

Fan Chunmei looked at Li Yue, Li Ye and Wang Jianqiang who were on the same front, and felt that she could not shake the other party, so she had no choice but to accept the reality.

But when she returned to those old women, she immediately became proud.

"I have also hired a makeup artist from Hong Kong for my daughter-in-law. I will show you tomorrow that we have married a fairy."

Wang Jian was so angry that his teeth were itching, but with so many people watching, he couldn't go over to stop his mother.

Li Yue said softly: "Okay, Qiangzi, farmers like to compete with each other, your mother is like that."

Wang Jianqiang gritted his teeth and said, "I know this, but if she says this about Su Wen, tomorrow others will see her bragging. It doesn't matter if I am wronged, but Su Wen cannot be gossiped about."

"That's definitely not the case," Li Yue assured, "It's hard to say about other things, but in terms of looks, your Su Wen is no worse."

"Oh sister, if you say it's not bad, then it's not bad. Hehehehe~"

"."

Well! Even the most honest child would care a lot about his wife's appearance.

Speaking of the looks of the girls around Li Ye, Wen Leyu is naturally a cut above the rest because of Li Ye's aesthetic standards.
But according to the aesthetic standards of the 1980s, elder sister Li Yue and younger sister Fu Yiruo are in the first tier, Li Juan and Li Ying are slightly second, and Huang Suwen and Pei Wenhui are both almost 7.5-point beauties.

Li Yue had known Pei Wenhui for many years and they watched TV dramas together in the Zaojun Temple courtyard, so today she helped Pei Wenhui prepare for her wedding. She was amazed to see Pei Wenhui transform from a 7.5 point little beauty to a 100 point top beauty.

That's why she dared to make such a promise, and it also made Fan Chunmei feel more confident about tomorrow's wedding.

However, after everyone completed the process at Li Dayong's house and moved to the best hotel in Beijing, Fan Chunhua was finally stunned.

"It's over. Even if we sell everything we have, we still can't win."
