Chapter 88: Marrying a lower-class man or marrying a higher-class man is difficult to get along with

Song Fugui's house was decorated with lights and festive drums and music were playing non-stop.

Guests came to congratulate one after another. Song Fugui and his son, one sat to register the guests, while the other stood to greet them.

Song Fugui is young and strong, and he is the protagonist of tonight. He is dressed like a flower, and the smile on his face is stiff.

"Congratulations, congratulations on your success."

"Thank you, thank you. Please take a seat inside."

Song Fugui was so tired that his waist almost broke. His father reminded him, "This is your fourth aunt."

Fourth aunt, where did this distant relative come from?
Song Fugui muttered in his heart, with a smile on his face, "Fourth Aunt, you are more energetic than last time!"

He finally saw off his "fourth aunt" and another family came towards him.

"Uh, Mr. Zhou..."

Song Fugui was startled and turned to remind his father, "Dad, Master Zhou is here, a friend from my martial arts school."

Song Fugui's father, Song Laoyou, is famous for his thriftiness. Laoyou is a nickname, which means... old and greasy.

Song Laoyou put down his pen, stood up, walked around the table, bowed, and said, "Mr. Zhou, it is a great blessing for my family that you can come to the wedding."

He had heard from his son a long time ago that when he was learning martial arts at Jianxiong Martial Arts School, there was a very capable young man in the same room with him who is now a formal apprentice at the school.

Their family runs a small business and they can only survive if they find a backer.

Therefore, Song Fugui has always been diligent in making friends with the Zhou family, and Song Laoyou has acquiesced and even often given him advice.

Losing a little money is nothing; making friends with big shots is a profitable business.

Do you really think Song Laoyou is just stingy?
We deliver oil to your door regardless of weather conditions, at prices below cost, or even half price. These actions have finally paid off today.

Zhou You came with his parents to attend the wedding, which was a great honor.

Even though the Song family invited so many relatives, not a single one of them could hold their own.

Zhou You has become the one with the greatest face and the highest status among his relatives and friends.

"Please, come this way, sit at the main table."

Song Laoyou glared at his son and said, "Hurry up and lead the way. Leave this to me and you just focus on serving the old man."

Song Fugui took Zhou You's family to their seats and looked around. The bride's family had not arrived yet.

"Fugui, what are the bride's family like?"

Zhou Youniang asked the first question, after all, women are born with the talent for gossip.

Song Fugui flashed a bitter smile on his face, "The bride is a very nice person, and the bride's relatives, well, are all very capable."

It turned out that when the girl's family lived in Sucheng, they were considered a well-off family with some assets and owned more than a dozen shops.

The bride's uncle ran a fur business with extensive connections. He had foreseen the disaster early on and moved his business to Gongliang City. It was at that time that the bride's family came here to settle down.

Once, Song Fugui was hawking goods on the street and was seen by the bride from the second-floor window. They fell in love with each other.

Three or two months later, Song Fugui and his bride began discussing marriage...

"It was her uncle who pushed for this marriage, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law were reluctant."

Song Fugui expressed his inner distress, saying that he was marrying above his station in this marriage.

The couple was in love, but their family situations were not compatible and the girl's parents were very dissatisfied.

After all, this family was not in trouble. They moved their property and business here in advance. Even if they were outsiders, their situation was not comparable to that of ordinary families. They were wealthy and had a rich dowry, and they owned more than just an oil shop.

"I like her, and she likes me."

Song Fugui emphasized, "I, Song Fugui, will build a family business in the future and let her parents see that I am not a gigolo."

Zhou You said nothing, listened to him patiently, and patted Song Fugui on the shoulder.

it is more than words.

As they talked, the night had already darkened. "Fugui, someone from my mother's family is here."

Song Fugui went out to pick up the bride and invited the elders from her bride's family to sit in the main seat.

Well, the ones with the worst expressions were Song Fugui’s father-in-law and mother-in-law, who kept silent the entire time.

"You'er, we should do things within our means in the future. We should never marry someone who is too high. Look at Fugui, he is so miserable!"

Zhou Youniang sighed to Zhou You in a low voice.

The most important person in the bride's family was the bride's uncle, who arrived late, holding two iron balls and rubbing them together until they made a crackling sound.

"Everyone is here, please sit down, please feel free."

The guests from the girl's family all stood up and greeted him enthusiastically, which showed how high his status was in the family.

The bride's uncle was a very important person. He took control of the situation with just a few words, and Song Fugui and his son were unable to say a word.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhou frowned. How could this be possible?

If you take the lead in the marriage, won't you be dominated by the woman in your future life?
It can be seen from the guests at the banquet that the relatives of the bride are more elegant in their dress and appearance than those of the groom's family.

"I have prepared a hundred jars of aged wine. Let's drink as much as we can. Don't leave until you are drunk."

The people brought by my uncle came in one after another and brought the drinks to the table.

Good vintage! The wine has a rich aroma, and it is a good wine that guests can't usually drink.

Song Fugui's father rubbed his hands with an awkward smile on his face. He had not discussed this incident with them before it happened.

Logically speaking, the wine and drinks at the wedding banquet should be prepared by the man. How can he make the decision without prior notice?

Song Laoyou had prepared the drinks in advance, but now he couldn't put them on the table.

"Uncle, please sit down. It's hard for you to be so busy and worry about the child's affairs."

The bride's mother, Song Fugui's mother-in-law, stood up and greeted them.

"No matter how busy I am, I can't miss my niece's wedding. Sister, please introduce me to some wealthy relatives and friends."

After the uncle showed up, his aura was fully released, and the bride's parents' expressions eased a little, obviously wanting to give him face as well.

"Which rich relatives are you three?"

When my uncle saw Zhou You’s family, he asked politely, behaving as if he was the host of the place.

"They are not relatives. My son and Fugui are friends."

After Mr. Zhou got promoted, his manners and speech became more polished and he could be considered a manager.

The whole family was dressed in gold and silver and was well-dressed. It was obvious at first glance that they were not poor relatives from the countryside.

Hearing that they were friends and not relatives, my mother-in-law's face darkened on the spot and she said in a high-pitched voice, "This table is the main seat, and even non-relatives can sit here."

“Song Fugui, Song Fugui, how do you do things?”

"Her uncle is such a busy man, he took time out to come to the banquet just to support you. Who are the people seated at the main seat?"

The high-pitched noise was very piercing in the night.

The guests at other tables turned around and looked in the direction of the main seat, curious about what was happening.

Old Man Zhou clenched his cigarette holder tightly. You look down on people, don’t you? How could a wealthy man have such a mother-in-law?
"Sister, please stop talking..."

My uncle is having a headache because my sister and brother-in-law are really not presentable and they don't consider the occasion when they speak or act.

The reason why he wanted to facilitate his niece's marriage was because of Song Fugui's identity.

Even though he was an oil seller, he was a native of Gongliang City and could use this opportunity to integrate into the local community.

Song Fugui once learned martial arts at Jianxiong Martial Arts School, so he could use this as a connection to establish connections and help his plans.

Besides, if a relative is not allowed to sit in the main seat, how can an ordinary family be arranged?
