I'm incredibly ambitious after being reborn.

Chapter 37 Li Eryatou Enjoys the Best First

"Second sister, what did you say? Who from the Sang family is coming?"

On the way to the hotel, Li Gensheng asked Li Laidi about this again, but unlike yesterday, Li Laidi's mindset had changed significantly today.

She thought, "Now that I don't have to worry about debt collectors coming to my door, or going back to my hometown to serve this person or that person, why should I bother thinking about this?"
Anyway, I never made decisions before, and I'll continue to do so.

At home, you rely on your parents; after marriage, you rely on your husband. Now that you can't rely on either, you have to rely on your daughter.

"Hey, who cares if the Sang family comes or not? Come if you want. I'm just looking forward to getting married next year, and then taking some time to travel around all the mountains and rivers in Jiangnan East Road. Keke told me about some place in Wuyishan that costs several thousand yuan a night. I'm thinking that if I can stay there once, it will be worth it."

"Ah...this? You mean you'll just let us proceed with the wedding, Second Sister?"

"Otherwise what? What kind of family do I come from, and what kind of family do they come from? Do I have to be so bored as to try and control my new son-in-law? I can't exactly act like a domineering mother-in-law, can I?"

"..."

Hearing what Li Laidi said, Li Gensheng was speechless, while his eldest sister, Li Zhaodi, sitting behind him, started to clamor: "Laidi is right, there's no need to make a fuss about all that. Keke married so well! When Xiang Ge'er heard that Keke was a year older, he immediately married her a golden rooster. They say 'a woman a year older, a golden rooster,' how wonderful!"

Unlike Li Zhaodi, who could only say "Ah, yes, yes, yes," Li Pandi and Li Xiangdi both felt that they were somewhat inferior to others.

But Li Laidi didn't care about all that. She knew that not long ago, the creditors had almost driven her to her death. Now, when the creditors saw her from a distance, they would call her "sister-in-law." It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were bowing and scraping; they were being very polite without any pretense.

Inside a luxurious "waterwheel," Sang Yuke and Wang Yulu sat together chatting, and Wang Yulu even chewed some gum. They were having a good conversation when Sang Yuke mentioned Zhang Daxiang and the story of "one person, twelve incense sticks," and Wang Yulu swallowed her gum.

"What? Does that mean he's going to have eleven more sons?"

"Ah."

"This won't do!"

"It has to work out, no matter what. My life depends on him."

"What kind of problem is that? You raised a child all by yourself? You can't expect him to find another mistress outside, can you?"

"What's big or small? I'll work with Brother Xiang and we'll figure out a solution together."

"what?!"

Wang Yulu, now in college, felt her brain wasn't quite working properly. What was all this nonsense?
Can a litter produce more than a dozen offspring?

"Sister, you don't know this, I'm actually getting a great deal. There are many more benefits for me, you'll see in a few years when my child grows up a bit."

"..."

Even the Zhang family itself hadn't anticipated the extent of Zhang Qiheng's patronage. The older generation, including the "Zhi" generation, were only hoping to receive some holiday gifts in the future.

Who would have thought that Zhang Qiheng's superiors were so capable, managing to completely overwhelm the people in the city.

The people who came today were rather low-key, but after they leave, at least three plaques will be delivered to their door with great fanfare. Whether or not to add an even bigger archway is another matter; in any case, there are only two people in the entire Zhang family who are qualified to receive the plaques right now.

One is Zhang Daxiang, and the other is Sang Yuke.

If they have more children later, they can have another one. No one else can touch it, not even the old man Zhang Qihui, his own brother, can watch helplessly. Not to mention the cousins ​​in the first and second banks, they don't even have the right to smell it.

However, Wang Yulu certainly didn't know any of this. All she knew was that her cousin's marriage at such a young age wasn't exactly something to be proud of.

She wondered if she should talk to her second aunt later, but then she thought that she had no right to interfere in her second aunt's family affairs, especially since her second aunt's husband had passed away so suddenly, and the family had almost fallen apart.

But when she arrived at the hotel where the engagement banquet was being held, she realized that something was amiss.

Because the pomp and circumstance were not right.

The various people who came to congratulate and support the event were dressed and had a different air about them than the Zhang family, who were full of rustic folk. Their presence in the government office was quite unique.

Wang Yulu glanced at them briefly, counted twenty or thirty, and then stopped counting.

As for the fact that these people greeted and shook hands with each other, it further shows that they were using the engagement banquet of their cousin and her husband as an opportunity to get to know each other and exchange ideas.

This engagement party was practically a platform for exchanging ideas and resources.

Not only local celebrities from Jiyang City, but Wang Yulu also noticed some official cars parked not far away, whose license plates were probably from Jiangnan East Road.

What surprised her even more was that, despite it being just an engagement party, a TV host was present to emcee the event. An assistant to a local TV station's "star" even complained that the big TV station had stolen her thunder.

Upon entering the hotel, they were surprised to find that the banquet was being held in the lobby instead of private rooms, which immediately made the Li family realize that something was amiss.

Twelve out of ten things are wrong!
Li Laidi had never thought she was so smart before; she was right not to make a decision!
This son-in-law is even more perfect than she imagined.

The most eligible bachelor of all.

"Laidi, I feel like this is a bit too much of a show."

Li Zhaodi, who was sitting next to Li Laidi, was also frightened. She had been so loud and boisterous before, but now she was shrinking back, afraid of being stared at.

From afar, one could see a group of old men from the Zhang family talking to officials. It was clear that the officials were offering congratulations and words of comfort, and the old men were echoing their sentiments.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious, but there were still key figures. Besides Zhang Daxiang, there was a man in military uniform who looked very respectable. After saluting and shaking hands with each member of the Zhang family, he became very low-key.

But he only appeared low-key. Even a fool could see that he was someone of great importance, and the people in the government office never took their eyes off him.

“I don’t know either. My son-in-law just said that Keke’s grandfather was a martyr, and that’s all. Like you, I only just found out about this scene.”

Li Laidi wasn't lying. She was feeling both happy and flustered. Fortunately, she didn't have to say anything. Her son-in-law was handling all the socializing and arrangements. When the host from "Jiangnan East TV" came on stage and said, "Distinguished guests...", Li Laidi stopped thinking altogether and sat down at the bride's table, urging her family to eat quickly.

My daughter is absolutely right. Don't overthink it. If anything happens, your son-in-law will take care of it. He's tall and strong.

Li Laidi's family never expected her to be so poised and composed.

It seems that Li Erya will be the first in the Li family to enjoy good fortune.
