Chapter 278 Poor?
When the eldest brother gets married, he is the one to pick up the bride. Although the second brother has already gone, there can't be just one pick-up person. That would be too shameful for the eldest brother!
Fortunately, when Lan Sibo could hardly wait any longer, Lan Weicheng's family walked out of the guest house.
Lan Sibo immediately urged the three of them, "Come up quickly, we have to get to my sister-in-law's house as soon as possible!"
Because he was in such a hurry, for a while, Lan Sibo didn't even have time to take a closer look at his sister who was a compatriot from the same mother.
Lan Sibo looked like a spirited young man dressed up today, and most people would have a good impression of him when he saw him. However, in Lan Xinya's eyes, Lan Shu, the elder brother, rushed them eagerly as soon as they met.
Not polite!
So Lan Xinya's first impression of Lan Sibo was not very good.
Later, she discovered that the car that came to pick them up today was no longer the car from yesterday, but a tractor with a flatbed behind it!
Are they allowed to sit on a tractor and eat the wind and dirt along the way?
Lan Xinya's face almost turned ugly on the spot!
She was about to say something, but in the next second, her parents had already climbed onto the tractor -
"Xinya, come up quickly, don't waste your brother's time." Lan Weicheng said.
Her father said so, how could Lan Xinya complain?
So she had no choice but to get on the tractor reluctantly, and left the guest house listening to the tractor's "chunk, chu, chu, chu..." sound.
…
On the other side, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming had arrived at the Tang family.
The Lan family had already given gifts and three major gifts to the Tang family before. It stands to reason that today they can pick up the bride just by following the local wedding customs.
But what Lan Dazhuang didn't expect was that when he walked into the door of the Tang family and stood in the yard, he found a group of relatives blocking the door. Everyone had to accept a red envelope before he could be let in to pick up his bride.
There were festive shouts all around, and they asked him for red envelopes in a joking manner.
Before Lan Dazhuang came, his parents were very polite and stuffed several red envelopes into his pockets.
But how can those few red envelopes be distributed to so many people now?
Even Lan Xiuming on the side felt that the Tang family's approach was inappropriate.
This almost caught them off guard!
In order to make his eldest brother's marriage go smoothly, Lan Xiuming immediately left Tang's house and went to some nearby shops to exchange the big unity he was wearing into small change.
Although there is no red envelope wrapped in red paper, as long as the Tang family relatives blocking the door get the money, who will care if it is wrapped in red paper?
After Lan Xiuming went back with the money and gave fifty cents to each person who blocked the door, someone finally got out of the way.
But there are still some Tang family relatives who are not satisfied.
"It's only fifty cents. How about sending a beggar away? It costs at least one...two yuan!"
Two yuan per person, and there were at least 17 or 18 people blocked at the door. The total amount of money was equivalent to a month's salary for ordinary workers in the county.
If you really give away the money without blinking an eye, then you are really being taken advantage of.
After all, in this era, the gift money for a family to attend a wedding is only two or three yuan. Only those who are very close and have good family conditions will receive a five yuan gift.
Lan Xiuming frowned slightly when he heard that the other party wanted two pieces.
Although Lan Dazhuang knew that there should not be such a way to pick up a bride, in order to successfully pick up his wife, he decided to bite the bullet and admit it!
It's just that today he came out to pick up a bride and didn't bring any money with him.
Although Lan Xiuming brought some, who would bring dozens of dollars, almost a month's salary, with him every day?
The big unity card he just went to a nearby store to exchange for was the largest denomination he carried.
The remaining money was only a few dollars in change, and the total was not enough to meet the requirements of the relatives of the Tang family who were blocking the door.
Fortunately, at this time, the sound of a tractor sounded outside the door.
Lan Xiuming immediately walked out of the Tang family gate, saw his third brother, and without saying a word asked Lan Sibo to take out all the money he had!
Although Lan Sibo didn't know what was going on, he still listened to his second brother's words.
So he emptied all his pockets and collected about ten dollars.
This amount of money plus what Lan Xiu Ming originally brought was still a little short of it. In the end, Lan Weicheng took out a few big unity cards to support, and the problem was solved.
Over there, Lan Xiuming was busy going to a nearby business shop to exchange change.
Here, Lan Sibo jumped off the tractor, told Lan Weicheng's family of three to wait for him in the car, and then headed towards the gate of Tang's house.
But he had just taken a few steps when he heard a burst of laughter behind him——
"My whole body only costs about ten yuan, ha~ I'm really poor."
Although Lan Xinya didn't speak loudly, she didn't shy away from others. Lan Sibo heard this clearly!
Lan Sibo paused for a moment. He really didn't expect that his sister would say such disdainful words to his brother!
At this time, Lan Weicheng's scolding voice was followed by Lan Xinya's ridicule, "Xinya! How are you talking?!"
Seeing her father's obviously unhappy look, Lan Xinya immediately shut up and acted obediently.
Hearing that the three members of the Lan family in Kyoto didn't all look down on him, Lan Sibo sighed inwardly and continued towards the Tang family.
Right now, the eldest brother's marriage is the most important thing, and other things have to be put in the back burner.
…
More than ten minutes later, the Tang family had the change that Lan Xiuming had changed, and after giving it to the relatives who blocked the door one by one, Lan Dazhuang finally got his wish, entered the Tang family's house, and received
daughter in law.
At this time, Tang Chu was wearing a red cheongsam, her hair was pulled up, and a red flower was pinned to her bun. She had light makeup on her face, and her eyes were slightly red. She didn't know whether she was crying or angry.
She also heard about the commotion outside the door where her relatives were asking for money.
According to Tang Chu's temperament, she originally wanted to go out and follow her man directly.
But in the room, her mother and grandmother were blocking her.
Her mother said that these were all rules to help her test whether the man outside the door loved her or not.
And her grandmother said that the rules must be followed, otherwise her marriage will not be happy.
This sentence almost reached the bottom of Tang Chu's heart. She hoped that she and Brother Ander could be happy forever, so she endured it.
Now that she finally met her man, Tang Chu wanted to leave with him immediately!
But before leaving, she had something to do!
Tang Chu looked at the two brothers beside Lan Dazhuang, and then said in front of Man Yard personally, "Bicycles, sewing machines, and watches, these are the three big things my man gave me."
"Now I am going to get married. Please bear witness to me. Today I will take my things and get married."
After saying that, Tang Chu immediately called the two Lan brothers and went to her grandmother's house to move her things away——
No matter how reluctant she is to give up her milk, she will never let her milk gain any benefit from her again!
