"Grandma, big brother brought his girlfriend home."
Just then, a boy around ten years old suddenly rushed in and shouted towards the interior.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaocao couldn't bother talking to her daughter anymore. She got up and said excitedly, "Did they drive here? Hurry, come with me to the entrance to welcome them. Eldest, go prepare the firecrackers."
"Okay," the eldest uncle replied, turned, and hurried away.
The other two uncles also stood up upon hearing the commotion and followed Fang Xiaocao out of the main hall towards the outside.
Zhang Liunian, who had been largely ignored, was a bit slow to react, but a moment later he smiled.
"Who's arriving with such fanfare?" Jiang Qingqing, who had been holding her son, hadn't listened carefully. Seeing her grandmother's entire family rushing out, she got up and came to Zhang Liunian's side, speaking softly.
Zhang Liunian stood up and pulled her closer. "Who cares who it is? We'll go back after dinner."
"Okay!"
Jiang Qingqing had been acting as a prop all this time. Hearing that they could leave after dinner made her happy.
"Let's go, we'll go to the entrance to watch the excitement. We don't have to go out."
Since they were already here, he naturally wanted to see what his elder cousin's girlfriend was like to warrant such a grand welcome from his grandmother's family.
Jiang Qingqing smiled and nodded, following her man to the main gate.
They both looked up simultaneously. A gleaming black Santana had driven up to the courtyard entrance, and the excited faces of his grandmother's family were flushed red.
The eldest uncle even rushed to the front holding firecrackers and said to the crowd behind him, "I'm going to set off the firecrackers. Everyone, make way."
As soon as he spoke, the sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the entire village.
Zhang Liunian's mouth twitched as he watched. His eldest uncle had just said there were no firecrackers, but it turned out he had lied.
Indeed, his three uncles were masters of deception, and their words were unreliable.
Just as he thought this, the car drove in. However, when it reached the courtyard gate, the car suddenly stopped. At the same time, the glass on the passenger side was rolled down from inside, and a young woman's head poked out.
She looked at no one, but instead directed her gaze at the car parked in the courtyard of the Yu family.
This car looked drab and unappealing, but it occupied the best spot in the entire courtyard, which made her very dissatisfied.
"This must be Yueyue, hurry in, hurry in! Eldest daughter-in-law, you go prepare tea and snacks."
Seeing the young woman poke her head out, Fang Xiaocao immediately stepped forward to greet her. This treatment completely overshadowed Zhang Liunian, who had just arrived.
Zhang Liunian didn't care much, but Yu Xiaohua and Jiang Qingqing were both a little unhappy.
Fang Xiaocao had no mood to pay attention to her daughter's family. At this moment, her heart and eyes were filled with her eldest grandson bringing back his wealthy girlfriend to discuss marriage.
Look at that car, it was truly so much better than her grandson's car. It was clearly a more upscale vehicle, and surely more expensive.
"Whose car is this? Why is it parked here? Make them drive it away, don't take up the good spot." The young woman named Yueyue, with an arrogant expression, pointed her finger at Zhang Liunian's car and commanded.
Fang Xiaocao felt a moment of awkwardness upon hearing this, but considering her eldest grandson's lifelong event, she looked at Zhang Liunian and said, "Liunian, why don't you move the car?"
Yu Xiaohua was furious and stepped forward to object, "Mom, are you kidding me? This courtyard is so big. The third son parked in the middle, and there's space on both the left and right. Why do they have to insist on the third son moving his car?"
Fang Xiaocao choked. She knew this was logical, but it was her eldest grandson's turn to bring his girlfriend home to discuss marriage. On such a joyous occasion, the man's side had to accommodate the woman.
Otherwise, what if her eldest grandson's hard-won girlfriend ran away?
If she really ran away, they would have nowhere to cry and no ability to find another one for him.
Their family's conditions were too poor, and her eldest grandson's age had been delayed for too long. Now that he had finally found a wealthy girlfriend, they absolutely could not hold him back.
So, her grandson should just endure a little inconvenience. They were family, after all, and they would entertain them well later.
"Xiaohua, Xiaosheng is your own nephew. He's finally found a girlfriend and is coming to discuss marriage for the first time. They are guests. Let's just yield to them, can we not argue with them?" Fang Xiaocao stepped forward, grabbed Yu Xiaohua, and whispered.
Yu Xiaohua didn't listen at all. She only knew that her son was not treated as importantly as a stranger. In the past, she would have accepted this, but now her son was also treated this way, and she refused. "I don't care. If the third son doesn't move, they can park wherever they want."
"Why don't you listen to Mom? Can't you consider Mom? Can't you consider Xiaosheng? Don't you know our family's situation? Xiaosheng has been delayed for so long because of the family. Now he's finally going to get married. Please help your poor nephew, okay? Mom is begging you." Fang Xiaocao was anxious. Her eldest grandson's matter couldn't be delayed any longer. Age waits for no one! If they waited any longer, her eldest grandson would be thirty, and he would truly become an old bachelor.
Hearing her mother say this, Yu Xiaohua also thought of her family's circumstances, and her attitude softened. She finally stopped speaking.
Seeing that Yu Xiaohua no longer objected, Fang Xiaocao looked at Zhang Liunian expectantly. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the woman in the car.
"Can't you understand human language? I told you to move the car. If you don't come out and move it, I'll smash this car!" Wang Yue, seeing that no one was coming out to drive the car away, became furious. She got out of the car and walked towards Zhang Liunian's car, then kicked it several times fiercely.
Following behind her were Zhang Liunian's elder cousin, Yu Sheng, and three other burly men.
"Grandma, whose car is this? Ask him to move it. Yueyue's car was just bought, it cost over three hundred thousand!" Yu Sheng said immediately to Fang Xiaocao as soon as he got out of the car.
Upon hearing "over three hundred thousand," Fang Xiaocao's eyes instantly lit up. She then looked at her grandson, who was walking towards them, and said, "Liunian, hurry and move your car. Yueyue is a guest, and it's her first time visiting. It's only right for our family to yield." 138 Reading Network
Hearing this, Wang Yue proudly turned with her arms crossed. She wanted to see whose car was so ugly and dared to park in front of her.
As a result, she saw an incredibly handsome young man push through the crowd and walk towards her step by step, just like a prince charming on television. She was instantly stunned.
Was this also a man from the Yu family?
Why had she never known? If she had known he was a man from the Yu family, she would definitely have chosen this man who looked like a movie star. Why would she have taken a liking to the older man Yu Sheng?
Zhang Liunian was unaware of Wang Yue's thoughts. He came to her side, looked at his beloved car a few times, and seeing the footprints left on the paint, he said coldly, "Wipe it clean for me."
