Lei's father and mother were sent back to their hometown, and they could not control Lu Yingying's bank card. Lei's mother racked her brains, trying to find a way to squeeze money from Lu Yingying.

That day, Lei's mother thought of an idea and called Gangzi.

Gangzi talked to Lei's mother on the phone for nearly half an hour, and Gangzi was smiling the whole time.

Needless to say, Lei's mother must have thought of a good way to deal with Lu Yingying.

Gangzi and Lu Yingying sleep in separate beds. They both have to go to work during the day, so they don't have much time to spend together, except for the time they share dinner together.

Gangzi used that time to discuss something with Lu Yingying.

"Wife, I want to discuss something with you. I told you that I am the first college student in our family, and many people don't know that I am married. I want to go back to my hometown and invite them to have a meal together, and let them meet you by the way."

Lei Mu is really smart, she came up with this idea.

Getting married is a big event in life. They held a Western-style wedding in the Maldives. Many of Gangzi's relatives and friends had never seen Lu Yingying, so it was time to invite their relatives to the wedding banquet.

Lu Yingying thought that as long as Lei Mu didn't act like a demon, she would agree.

It was rare that Lu Yingying had no objection, so Gangzi immediately discussed with her the dinner list, as well as the etiquette and social etiquette when meeting elders.

Maybe Gangzi also knew that Lu Yingying disliked Lei's mother, so he learned his lesson this time and tried not to mention his mother in front of her.

"Wife, we will pay for all the wedding banquets ourselves."

Lu Yingying is not short of money, so she doesn't care.

Before, Lei's mother had told Gangzi that in order to prevent Lu Yingying from suspecting them, she asked Gangzi to ask Lu Yingying to buy return gifts for relatives and friends, as well as menus and drinks for the dinner party.

"Wife, when you have time, think about what dishes and drinks to buy, and the gifts to return to the elders. During the meal, each guest must give a red envelope, and the children and the elderly must each give a red envelope."

Lu Yingying is the daughter of the Lu family. The household affairs are managed by the servants. Why should she get involved? Lu Yingying thought it was too much trouble and asked Gangzi to take care of it.

"I'll transfer 20 to you, you can do whatever you want!"

Lu Yingying said this and fell into Lei Mu's trap.

Lei's mother knew that Lu Yingying would definitely not do these things herself. If she let the Lei family do it, they could pump water.

But isn’t 20 too little?

Lei Mu's original plan was to ask for at least 100 million.

"Wife, there are about 30 tables of relatives from my grandmother's side and our Lei family's side. Each table costs about 2000 yuan, plus the red envelopes for drinks, 20 yuan doesn't seem to be enough. If there are so many people eating, I definitely can't cook it myself. I plan to ask someone who cooks banquets to do it. The total cost will be at least 60 yuan."

Gangzi was afraid that Lu Yingying would have objections, so he didn't dare to ask for 100 million and could only ask for 60.

"60 is 60! Just do it well and don't let people gossip about it."

These days, Gangzi and Lu Yingying get along pretty well. Lu Yingying is happy and generous, and agrees to give him 60 yuan.

Gangzi thought Lu Yingying would not give so much, but he didn't expect her to agree so immediately.

He was so regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have said 20 more and asked her for 80, and then saved a little on buying materials. He could have made at least or yuan.

Thirty or forty yuan is enough to buy a house in the suburbs.

When Lei's mother found out that Gangzi only asked for 60 yuan, she scolded him for being useless.

"A man this old who is so afraid of his wife will definitely be bullied by her in the future. A man who is bullied by a woman will suffer for the rest of his life."

Gangzi thought, my dad has been bullied by you all his life, and you have the final say in everything at home. Why don't you consider my dad's feelings?

My dad has been bullied by you for decades, but you never said that he would be unlucky for life. Now I am bullied by my wife, and you said that I will be in big trouble. You have the final say on everything.

Although Gangzi had some opinions, he certainly wouldn't dare to say them out loud.

If she said that, Lei's mother would be so angry that her blood pressure would soar.

"Mom, can you please not think about getting everything at once? You need to take your time and do it slowly. If you do it at once, she will be dissatisfied and it will be difficult to extort money from her in the future."

Lei's mother thought about it and it made sense. After all, their family had many relatives and friends. One had a birthday today, another got married tomorrow, there was a full moon banquet the day after tomorrow, and so on. When the time came, there would be wedding banquets to drink, and she could blackmail Lu Yingying again.

Only then did Lei Mu let Gangzi go, and the dark clouds on her face immediately disappeared.

Gangzi thought that it was Lu Yingying's first time visiting his hometown, and he couldn't let her be rude, so he didn't dare to buy bad dishes and drinks.

If she buys a bad one and finds out that Gangzi extracted a lot of water, she won't pay so much next time.

The drinks, dishes, and gifts for relatives and friends are all good.

If you can't save money on these things, you can only save a little on red envelopes, because there is no regulation on the amount of red envelopes.

Originally, each child was given 200 yuan, the elderly were given 1000 yuan, and a 50 yuan red envelope was given during meals.

But the red envelopes for meals in Qingcheng are usually five or one yuan.

Giving 50 yuan is too much, giving yuan is already good.

So, Gangzi decided to give ten yuan, which could save several thousand yuan.

Then just give 500 to the elderly and 100 to the children, and you can save thousands more.

During the dinner, Lei's mother asked Gangzi and Lu Yingying to serve tea and wine to each guest.

Lei's mother thought that when the newlyweds offer tea to their relatives and friends, they will usually give a red envelope in return.

The wife offers tea and the husband offers wine.

If Lu Yingying offers tea to the guests, each guest will give a red envelope in return. If Gangzi offers wine, he will also get a red envelope. The couple can get a lot of red envelopes.

When the time comes, Lei's mother will deduct these red envelopes, and add on the contributions from relatives and friends, and she thinks she can make a fortune.

When serving tea to others, one must greet them and then serve them one cup at a time. Lu Yingying thought this was too troublesome, and there were so many people, she didn't want to serve them one by one.

Lu Yingying told Gangzi that if they wanted to offer a toast, they should use a large plate to hold ten cups of tea, give each table a large plate, and have a relative in their family serve a cup of tea to each person on her behalf.

If you don't do what she wants, you won't even be served tea or wine.

Lei's mother was unhappy when she found out. If she didn't offer tea to each guest one by one, she was afraid that the guests would drink the tea and not give red envelopes, and then she would not make any money.

But Lei's mother didn't dare to offend Lu Yingying, so she had to go along with her.

Fortunately, everyone was very conscious. After all, it was the newlyweds who offered the tea. They picked up a cup of tea, drank it, and then stuffed a red envelope into the empty cup.

However, many of those red envelopes only have one yuan or five yuan, and there are very few that are above ten yuan.

The red envelope that Lu Yingying received for offering tea, plus the red envelope that Gangzi received for toasting, were all taken away by Lei's mother.

After the guests left, Lei's mother poured all the red envelopes on the table and opened them one by one.

At the beginning, even if she opened ten bills, they were all worth one dollar each, and the smile on Lei's mother's face disappeared.

When I opened the 11th red envelope, I found a ten-yuan note.

It was a big bag of red envelopes, but I only received more than 300 yuan in total.

Of the 60 yuan given by Lu Yingying, 48 yuan was spent, which was beyond Gangzi's budget. Fortunately, he was able to earn 12 yuan, so Lei's mother could smile again.
