Chapter 396 Xu Damao's Plan
When I heard Second Auntie ask her to ask the neighbors about their impressions of Yan Bugui,
Aunt Yan froze there for a moment.

How could she not know the reputation of her man in Nanluoguxiang?
Even if she really asked, she would only bring shame upon herself and not get the answer she wanted. She was just being stubborn and wishful thinking.

Seeing Aunt Yan's flattering expression and not saying anything,

The second aunt sneered, then looked at Xu Damao with a smile and continued to stab Aunt Yan in the heart.

"Xu Damao, tell us exactly what request you agreed to from Old Yan, so that he would introduce such a pretty returned overseas Chinese to you."

As soon as the second aunt finished asking, Jia Zhang, who was not afraid of making trouble, also joined in the fun.

"Yes, yes, Xu Damao, tell us what's going on. Old Yan is willing to introduce such a good girl to you, so it can't be without conditions."

……

Xu Damao is not a good person either.
Seeing that the neighbors were all asking me this question, I thought that I had already established a connection with Teacher Ran.

There is no need to praise Yan Bugui anymore and fulfill the promise made a few days ago.

So they planned to use the pressure from the neighbors, and then destroy the bridge after crossing it, and kick Yan Bugui's family away.

As for whether Yan Bugui would retaliate, Xu Damao didn't care. He wasn't just there to eat and do nothing.

Then he started to act stupid.
"Hey, it's not a big deal.
That is, Uncle Yan asked me to hurry up and hold the wedding with Yan Jiecheng from their family. That’s it.

Uncle Yan really didn't get any benefit from me.
If I must say yes,

The only thing that counts is the bottle of 10-year-old Fenjiu I drank at noon today, and the rest is nothing special.”

Seeing Xu Damao's nonchalant look, Second Auntie was furious.

Then he thought about how his family had just compensated Yan Bugui 20 yuan a few days ago, and now he was trying to match Xu Damao with Teacher Ran, wanting them to have a wedding with Yan Jiecheng.

I knew that as a father, Yan Jiecheng really didn't want to spend a penny on his wedding.

So he started to criticize Xu Damao who looked nonchalant.
"Da Mao, are you stupid? Can't you see what Old Yan's family is planning?
This is to ask you to pay and let them hold Yan Jiecheng's wedding together.

I tell you, this won't work.

Your parents have moved out of the courtyard, and there is no one to take care of the family. We, as neighbors, cannot let you suffer such a great loss."

After talking about Xu Damao, the second aunt looked at the other neighbors and shouted,
"Everyone, there is only one young man living in the Xu family's courtyard now. We can't let him be bullied.
Do you think so? "

When the neighbors heard Second Aunt say Xu Damao was stupid, they didn't believe it at all.
Among all the young people in the courtyard, apart from He Yuzhu, Xu Damao is the smartest. How could he be a fool?

However, they were also very clear about Yan Bugui and his wife's plan.
Neighbors will not tolerate such people who are unwilling to spend money on their own son's wedding and who are calculating others.

At this time, I naturally cooperated with the second aunt.

"Yeah,

Damao, your parents are not in the courtyard, and we, the neighbors who have watched you grow up, will definitely not let you suffer any loss. We have to keep an eye on you.

We just watched the teacher Ran that Lao Yan introduced to you.
Bright eyes, white teeth, polite, a well-educated child, similar to Zhuzi's Xiao'e, we have no objection to this. But you have to think carefully about marrying Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li have been dating for a while, so it's normal for them to plan their marriage, but you and Teacher Ran have just met. If you hold a wedding with Yan Jiecheng, wouldn't it be too hasty?

I think you should spend more time together, and then talk about getting married when you feel it’s appropriate.”

"Yes, marriage is a major event in life.

Although you and Teacher Ran are both educated people and can get along well with each other, the necessary process still needs to be followed.

You can’t be so careless.”

Seeing that these neighbors were almost blatantly holding back their family, Aunt Yan was so angry that her face turned green. She glared at Jia Zhang and the second aunt in frustration and gnashed her teeth and said,
"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhang, you are going too far.

Our two families have already agreed to hold a wedding together some time ago. What does this have to do with you? Why are you talking nonsense here? "

Hearing Aunt Yan's question, Second Aunt did not hide her feelings and glanced at her with a direct sneer.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just can't stand it.
Not only did you two extort 20 yuan from our old Liu a few days ago, but Yan Jiecheng also set his sights on Xu Damao for the wedding.
How come all the good things are taken by your family?

I just can't stand the way you two are so stingy, what's wrong, do you have any objections? "

"you!"

"What are you talking about? Only you two are allowed to do this, and we are not allowed to say anything!"

Seeing the two of them on edge and eager to eat each other alive, Xu Damao felt that the time was almost right. He was afraid that they would really fight and divert the attention of the neighbors, thus disrupting his plan.
So he smiled and stepped forward to persuade her,
"Second Aunt, it's just a wedding anyway. It's just a few side dishes, a few plates of dumplings, and a few bottles of wine. How much can it cost?

I can still afford this little bit of money, there is no need to make such a fuss about my affairs. "

Hearing Xu Damao's wedding arrangements, He Yuzhu's mouth twitched slightly.
I thought to myself that Xu Damao was really worthy of his name. He actually thought of using the marriage rules of most ordinary people at that time to shut up the Yan family.

When Aunt Yan heard Xu Damao say that he was only going to cook a few dishes and make a few dumplings for his wedding,

I was a little dumbfounded.
This is completely different from what the couple thought.

"No, Damao, getting married is something that only happens once in a lifetime, and you just cook a few dishes and make a few dumplings and that's it?

You don't need that little money, why do you do it so simply? "

When Second Aunt and Jia Zhang heard Xu Damao's idea, they immediately realized that he was playing a trick on Yan Bugui's family.
Then they stopped trying to stand out, looked at each other, and then smiled and crossed their arms to watch the fun.

They also wanted to see how Xu Damao would respond to Yan Bugui's wife.

"Aunt Yan, it's wrong for you to say that.

This is an era of mass production, and marriage cannot delay production tasks.

Go to work during the day, pick up the bride after get off work, invite three or five good friends, cook three or four side dishes, make two or three plates of dumplings, drink a little wine, and have fun in the bridal chamber, and the couple is considered married.

Many people in rural areas outside the city can't even hold a wedding like the one I'm talking about, so why are you still against it?"
