Chapter 89: There is a reason for being arrogant at first and respectful later
"Sister, we are all guests, so please say less."

My uncle signaled to my sister not to speak.

It is common for the bride's family to look down on Song Fugui, not to mention the bride's parents, but also the bride's uncle himself.

If they were still in Sucheng, given their family background, a little oil seller would never be able to marry them.

Nowadays, people are looked down upon when they leave their hometown. If they want to integrate into the local community as quickly as possible, the best way is to get married.

Bao Tiefeng, a master of Mastiff Boxing, set a good example by marrying his daughter to a local household and successfully squeezed into the local boxing and martial arts circle.

His family ran a fur shop and made a fortune every day. Although he moved to Gongliang City before the disaster and was able to settle down, he had little contact with the local circle and his network of contacts was almost shallow.

All the business in the city had been divided up by a few companies. Even though he had money and manpower, he had no connections.

It is not a good idea for a whole family to live off their savings, so we still have to build up the business.

Only by sacrificing the happiness of my niece can I seek opportunities.

As a parent, who doesn’t want their daughter to marry well?
My uncle doesn't blame my sister for feeling resentful, but she shouldn't speak up in this situation.

"From the bride's family, Fugui is a good child. It's a happy day, so please help and don't make trouble."

Old Man Zhou said calmly, without any anger.

Even if the matter gets out of hand, they are not afraid, and the girl's family is not worried about the suffering of the newlyweds Song Fugui.

Therefore, the key is to calm things down and make big things small.

"It's rare that you are so understanding! We have a large family and this table can't accommodate all of us. Please give up your seats for the three of you who are not related."

The bride's mother spoke in a sharp, commanding voice.

My uncle stopped trying to persuade them and looked at Zhou You's family, obviously asking them to take a step back.

After all, he only helps his relatives and looks down on the guests invited by Song Fugui.

Zhou You shook his head. If he didn't stand up now, Song Fugui would have a hard time after getting married!

Song Fugui hurried over and bowed to his uncle with a bitter face.

"Uncle, Zhou You is my good friend, and now he is..."

"What? He is Zhou You, the apprentice of Jianxiong Martial Arts School?"

My uncle glanced around and suddenly saw Zhou You’s badge, and his body shook violently.

Jianxiong Martial Arts School, a symbol of official apprentice status!

His throat was a little dry, and he asked with a cupped hand, "Are you a formal apprentice of the martial arts school?"

"My You'er and Fugui met when they were learning martial arts at the martial arts school. They get along really well!"

The uncle's mind suddenly buzzed, and he was sure that the polite young man in front of him was that person.

Speaking of which, what he has been busy with recently is closely related to Zhou You.

Recently, Jianxiong Martial Arts School has been recruiting people to reorganize the tiger hunting team, relax restrictions, and allow people from Sucheng to join, regardless of local people.

The origin of the incident was that a hunter from the outside mountain raised the price and was slaughtered by two apprentices from the martial arts school.

Zhou You, one of the two apprentices, was a ruthless man who slaughtered hundreds of hunters.

He could never have imagined that such a ruthless character who killed people without hesitation was a young man who sat upright while accompanying his parents to a wedding banquet?

"Song Fugui knows Zhou You, why didn't this guy tell me?"

My uncle was very upset. He started his business in Sucheng by selling furs. This time, recruiting the tiger hunting team outside Jianxiong Martial Arts School was an opportunity that he was determined to seize.

As long as he can build the Jianxiong Martial Arts School, the local circle will not be able to exclude him and he will have a chance to make a comeback.

He strongly promoted this marriage in order to show his attitude. My niece is marrying a local and is no longer an outsider.

With its solid expertise and the backbone of its business, Niangjiu stood out from many competitors.

He privately gave gifts and treated people to meals, befriended the higher-ups of the martial arts school, and the deal was already about 70% done.

At the critical moment, my sister got into trouble...

Outsiders don’t know, but everyone participating in the bidding knows that Zhou You is the key person.

As a formal apprentice and a hero in the tiger hunting operation, he can decide the candidate with just a few words.

His sister was still shouting that she had just driven Zhou You's family away and would not let them sit in the main seat. My uncle thought to himself, she is my dear sister, please stop making things worse.

He made up his mind, picked up the large bowl on the table, and said in a decisive tone.

"Mr. Zhou, my sister is ignorant and has offended you. Liao will drink three cups as punishment. You must make a promise and keep your word."

My uncle gushed over three cups of wine in a row, looking as if he was ready to be dealt with.

Song Fugui's father-in-law and mother-in-law were shocked. What was going on?
"Her uncle, what are you doing? You are giving their family too much face."

My mother-in-law spoke with a puzzled look on her face.

When my uncle heard what my sister said, his face turned bitter and wrinkled like orange peel.

"Sister, if you open your mouth again, I will kneel down to Master Zhou."

My uncle tried every way to make Zhou You's family calm down, but my elder sister kept adding fuel to the fire and made things worse!

He felt powerless in his heart. He couldn't carry her, he really couldn't.

The mother-in-law was stunned. This younger brother was the most promising one in the family, and all the expenses for food and clothing depended on him.

Even though the old couple were acting arrogant at first, they immediately panicked when they saw their younger brother giving in.

They looked at Zhou You indifferently and suddenly came to their senses.

Song Fugui's friend is definitely a person of great importance. Even her most promising uncle has to be respectful and treat him with courtesy.

Song Fugui wanted to say something, but his sleeves felt tighter. It turned out that it was his father Song Layou who held him back.

Song Laoyou's eyes reminded him that if he showed up now, he would definitely offend Zhou You, and if he didn't show up, he would at most offend his mother's family. What would you choose?
Song Fugui chose to stay put.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. The music team was at a loss and stopped. The guests at the tables did not dare to make a sound.

Everyone looked at the situation at the main seat.

"hehe!"

Zhou You suddenly laughed, "You are Song Fugui's uncle, so you are the elder in terms of seniority, so I..."

"I don't dare to be Mr. Zhou's elder. My humble name is Liao Daheng. You can just call me by my full name."

Uncle Liao Daheng felt relieved, and was glad that Song Fugui had a good friend and the other party gave him some face.

"What happened just now is easy to deal with!"

Zhou You stood up again and asked his parents, "Mom and Dad, if it's uncomfortable to sit here, let's go somewhere else."

"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't look down on others."

Song Fugui's mother-in-law hurriedly stood up and apologized, almost in tears.

Zhou You didn't say anything, obviously waiting to see what his parents thought.

"Master Zhou, I kneel down to apologize to you."

Although the old couple are arrogant, they are not stupid. They know that the family's livelihood depends on Mr. Liao, and Zhou You is a person that even Mr. Liao has to be humble to.

"You'er, it's a happy day, don't make it too awkward."

Father Zhou took a few puffs of his cigarette and said, "Now that we've come to the point, I think that's it!"

He stepped forward to help the old couple up, and called Song Fugui, "Fugui, come and take care of your Taishan."

Zhou You sighed and thought that his father was a kind-hearted man after all, not at all like him who was vindictive and murderous.

Well, I'll just listen to dad this time. After all, he is the head of the family.

"What are you all standing for? Sit down and drink the wedding wine."

As soon as Zhou You spoke, Liao Daheng breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly, "Did you hear that? Drink!"

The tense atmosphere was swept away, and the guests turned back to the table and concentrated on the delicious food and fine wine.

"Alas, it's a pity that we can't bring vegetables."

Zhou Youniang's eyes were full of regret. In the past, when she attended banquets, she always took the dishes home. But now that she was sitting in the seat of honor, she had no room to show her skills.
