Yan Bugui sighed helplessly, complaining in his heart. He had originally planned to save money, but he didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so difficult to deal with, forcing him to pay more money. However, facing so many guests, he couldn't get angry on the spot, so as not to ruin the festive atmosphere. So he could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction, took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Sha Zhu.

He thought to himself, "This idiot is such a bottomless pit! I was thinking of saving some money, but now I've spent ten dollars all at once. It really hurts!" Yan Bugui complained while looking at the banknotes in his hand. This was the hard-earned money he had worked so hard to earn, but now he had to give it away for nothing, which made him feel extremely sad and reluctant.

After Sha Zhu received the money, he showed a smug smile on his face. He knew that he had successfully made a fortune, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He turned around and continued to serve the guests, showing great attentiveness. He picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with the guests, and talked and laughed, which was very lively.

Yan Bugui stood aside, looking at his ten dollars with a bitter face, as if he saw his heart bleeding. He sighed silently, thinking that he had suffered a great loss this time. But now that things have come to this point, he can't make up for it, and can only comfort himself by saying: "Forget it, just think of it as a lesson learned. I must be careful of this idiot Zhu in the future, and I will never let him succeed again."

But when I thought about the fact that I only spent about fifteen dollars all together, and I still had five dollars left after the twenty dollars I had agreed on, I thought I still made some money.

"Hehe!" Yan Bugui thought happily in his heart.

Adding the part about collecting gift money, Yan Bugui just took a look and saw that Section Chief Li Dongyu only recorded ten yuan, and the other elderly people also recorded five or four yuan each. There are more than fifty people, which add up to twenty-three households. The gift money can definitely be around one hundred yuan.

"Hmm?" Yan Bugui suddenly remembered something, "Didn't Shazhu say he also gave a gift? Why didn't I see it?"

He quickly squeezed out of the crowd, walked to the gift registration desk, and took a careful look.

Sure enough, there was no Shazhu’s name on it.

"Humph! This idiot Zhu actually dared to lie to me and say that he gave me a gift!" Yan Bugui was so angry that he stamped his feet. "I must settle the score with him later!"

However, when he looked at the gift money registration book again, he found a name on it that surprised him very much - Yi Zhonghai.

"Eh? When did this old Yi come?" Yan Bugui said to himself, "Why didn't I see him? And he actually gave a gift of ten yuan..."

Yan Bugui thought to himself: Did Sha Zhu deceive him? Otherwise, why did Sha Zhu say he did when he clearly didn't? And Yi Zhonghai, he rarely stayed in the courtyard since he stopped being a big boss, why did he suddenly show up today and give the gift money so quickly? But he was really helpless when he was not at the scene.

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the reason for the time being.

At this time, he heard someone calling his name. It turned out that someone was reminding him that his eldest daughter-in-law had been taken back.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to put aside his doubts temporarily and get busy.

Yan Bugui hurried to the door and saw his eldest son and his bride walking into the yard. He greeted them with a smile on his face and exchanged a few words with the bride. However, his eyes never left the gift registration book.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" the eldest son asked curiously.

Yan Bugui came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just looking at the gift money registration form."

As he was talking, he was thinking that he would ask Sha Zhu about it later. Just then, Sha Zhu came over with a plate of food.

"Uncle, what do you think of this dish? It's my specialty!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

Yan Bugui glared at him and said unhappily, "Humph! You idiot, don't think I don't know that you were lying to me just now!"

Sha Zhu was stunned, "Second Uncle, how did I lie to you?"

"You still say no? You clearly didn't give any gift money, but you lied to me and said you did! And Uncle Yi came over and asked you, but you said you didn't know." Yan Bugui questioned.

Sha Zhu said innocently, "Second Uncle, I really plan to give it to you after I'm done with my work! As for Uncle Yi, I don't know when he will come."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and said, "Well, you little bastard, you actually dared to lie to me! Do you think I don't know? You just want to default on your debt!"

Sha Zhu quickly explained: "Second Uncle, don't be angry, I really didn't mean it. I just forgot to give the gift money. I promise, I will make it up."

Yan Bugui snorted and sneered, "Make up for it? That's easy for you to say! Now everyone knows that you didn't give the gift money, where can I put my face? Aren't you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

Sha Zhu shook his head helplessly and said, "Second Uncle, don't misunderstand me, I really didn't mean that. I was just too busy and forgot for a moment. Don't worry, I will give you the gift money as soon as possible."

Yan Bugui glared at Sha Zhu and said, "Okay, then you better make up for it quickly! Otherwise, I won't let you go!" After that, Yan Bugui turned and left.

Sha Zhu looked at Yan Bugui's departing back and sighed helplessly. He knew in his heart that it was indeed his negligence that made Yan Bugui lose face. He secretly made up his mind to return the gift money to Yan Bugui as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this time, the courtyard was filled with laughter and joy. Yan Bugui temporarily put aside his doubts and immersed himself in the festive atmosphere. However, he was still a little unhappy, thinking that Sha Zhu did not give him face. However, he did not want to ruin the atmosphere of the entire wedding because of this incident, so he had to swallow his anger.

I feel good that I'm keeping an eye on it myself, otherwise this idiot Zhu would not only make ten dollars from me for nothing, but also want to eat and drink for free, which is simply not a good son.

Soon the bride came in, looking very happy. The women and children all rushed to see the bride, but were blocked by Yan Bugui. After all, he was really afraid that these country bumpkins would offend his daughter-in-law, whom he loved very much.

Soon after the matter was settled, Li Dongyu did not sit down to eat. After all, Li Dongyu did not want to eat what Sha Zhu cooked. He did not think that those ingredients could be used to cook anything good. Anyway, he came here just to give face. After all, this compound has funerals and weddings, so he had to come here no matter what. As for the negative emotion value, he would earn it if he could, and if he could not, he would look for next opportunity. There is always a long time to come.

And just when Li Dongyu was about to leave, someone brought him a pillow just as he was feeling sleepy!

Isn't this the mouth of Jia Zhang, who is sitting at a table not far away and eating and drinking to her heart's content? Even if the food is blocking her mouth, it can't be blocked!
