66 There are so many troubles

Shi Mingsong didn't understand this operation: "Others are trying their best to move up, but Xiao Wei is the other way around, actively asking to move down. Even if I don't care about fame and fortune, I've never seen anything like this."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Being an official is for profit. If you can make more money than being an official, why would you want to be an official?"

Shi Mingsong objected: "It's not just about the money, it also takes care of relatives and friends. In fact, if we tell them that the gift is from the county party committee, they will definitely not let President Li step down."

Xiao Wei shook her head: "I deliberately didn't tell you because I wanted my godfather to get out of this as soon as possible. This matter must be settled before the wedding banquet, otherwise it will be difficult."

Shi Mingsong was still puzzled: "Why are you in such a hurry? Have you heard anything about the county party committee?"

"No. It has nothing to do with the authorities. Wait until godfather goes to the cultural center for a while, and he will understand."

Godfather stood up and said, "I have to call the chef immediately. We need to reduce the number of tables at the wedding banquet by at least ten."

Jiang Yingying seconded the proposal: "Once you step down, there will definitely be fewer people coming. There's no need to waste them."

Xiao Wei stopped him, "There's no need to reduce the number. Maybe the people in this town are at a higher level and won't stop coming just because your status has changed. If that's the case, we won't be able to put together a banquet at this time."

Shi Mingsong smiled bitterly: "Do you think this is possible?"

"Nothing is impossible in the world. Just listen to me. If there are any extra vegetables, you can give them to your relatives, friends and neighbors."

Shi Mingsong seemed to have thought of something: "It is indeed very likely. It is not just an ordinary possibility."

The chef was also surprised to see more than a dozen sacks of bacon, and quickly asked for help. According to Xiao Wei's request, he cut it into long strips weighing a few pounds and temporarily put them in a wing room in the east. It took him half a day to finish it.

According to local customs, the bride must stay at her parents' home for the first three days, waiting to be married. He packed two large bags of fish, meat and snacks on the car and took Shi You home. Before leaving, he specifically told Xiao Wei to follow the wedding procession.

Xiao Wei knew very well that this marriage had always been opposed by the families of both parties. To have come this far, she had to go through countless cold words and countless difficulties.

Due to their status, they said countless nice things and endured countless grievances. Although they had to agree in the end, they would definitely do everything they could to obstruct the marriage.

Jiang Yingying's parents' home is about five miles west of her husband's home. After her ex-husband died heroically, she has been living in her husband's home. Now, her husband's home is her parents' home. Of course, they strongly oppose Jiang Yingying's remarriage. Jiang Yingying's ability to eat public food is entirely due to her son's credit. Once Jiang Yingying gets married, this road will be cut off.

This is common sense that everyone understands.

Shi You was abused at home, and he couldn't stand Jiang Yingying's attraction to other men. For this reason, he even wanted to let Shi You's uncle replace Jiang Yingying to join the cooperative. In the end, Jiang Yingying had to compromise and said that as long as they agreed, she would no longer enjoy various treatments as a martyr's widow.

Xiao Wei had instructed in the letter that Jiang Ying should resign immediately. But Jiang Yingying's current position was entirely due to her ability. How could she, a talent that was sought after by the county, be dismissed casually?

Even though her uncle joined the cooperative, Jiang Yingying still worked as the director of the Propaganda Office.

But if Jiang Yingying had not joined the government agency, how could she have learned that kind of skills, and how could she have met President Li.

In a word, everything Jiang Yingying has now is thanks to her ex-husband.

What is even more infuriating is that the younger uncle is so proud of his achievements in the cooperative that he always brings up his brother: "If it weren't for my brother and his heroic sacrifice, you wouldn't have the good life you have now."

This bad temper makes many people dare not speak out, isolating him, and it is inevitable that he will be made to suffer.

The resentment was directed at Jiang Yingying, who was believed to be the one behind all the trouble.

Although he had heard about the various difficulties encountered when getting married, Xiao Wei had never experienced that kind of situation personally. Apart from bringing enough money, he couldn't think of anything else to prepare in order to deal with unexpected requests.

Seeing Xiao Wei frowning about her own affairs and constantly asking about the marriage procedures, and being made difficult by the precedent, the godfather was free and easy: "Don't think too much, we are already publicly together anyway, the worst that can happen is that we can't get married."

"I will never allow that to happen."

At this time, the wedding ceremony was no longer as complicated as in ancient times. The practice of carrying the dowry first and then picking up the bride was gradually implemented, but the bride strongly demanded that the old rules must be followed, and the bride and groom must go together. In other words, the bride and groom must leave home and return home.

It seemed reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it. But the time chosen by the yin and yang master was the hour of the ox, and it was a dark rural road, and everyone was drunk, so you can imagine how difficult it was.

The bride has already entered the house, but no one knows where her dowry has been taken.

While they were waiting to make the bed here, a large group of people were being sent out to look for dowries.

If it rains or snows again, the scene will be indescribable.

Doesn’t it make you laugh just thinking about it?

It's others who are laughing, missing the timing is a serious setback for the newlyweds.

Some people say that according to the rules, isn’t it the man who decides the wedding date and time?

Yes, the specific date and time is decided by the man, but it has to be based on the approximate date given by the woman.

There is also a saying that a wedding in the evening is a big wedding, and a wedding in the morning is a small wedding. Most first marriages have a big wedding, but Jiang Yingying's in-laws insisted on a small wedding, after all, she had a daughter with her ex-husband, so a small wedding was appropriate.

What's even more annoying is that the man's family also opposes this marriage, and they expect family ties to help deal with it. What? You are really thoughtful. I'll be thankful if you don't cause more trouble.

Sure enough, there were only four or five people in the family willing to help carry the dowry, and the others said they were too busy.

Godfather had no choice but to ask people from the cooperative for help, but Godfather was no longer the president, and those people were also reluctant to help.

In name, the government supports it, but who knows if they just want to see a joke.

This job can only be done by young people. If old people are asked to carry the dowry at night, then the marriage is better not to be concluded.

What's even more worrying is that, normally, the woman's side would suggest a number of people to go based on the amount of the dowry, but Jiang Yingying's in-laws wouldn't say and left it to the godfather to decide.

Before the battle even started, dark clouds were gathering over the city and tensions were high.

Xiao Wei thought about it and realized that there was only one person who could help. He immediately rode his bike to the village, found Wang Youfu, and ordered him to find at least 20 people to help carry the dowry.

"Come on, I'll help you with this."

Xiao Wei kicked and cursed: "Why are you so cheap?"

"I don't want to see you either."

It must be said that although Wang Youfu was a shameless scoundrel, he was still capable of doing things. He immediately found 28 people, prepared poles and ropes, and his relatives and friends worked together to wrap the red paper.

A total of twelve people from the family and cooperative came, plus two matchmakers, Xiao Wei and Shi Mingsong's cousin, Shi Mingsong and his brother, a total of forty-eight people.

What, why isn’t the groom following?

This is the rule here. The groom cannot accompany the bride during the wedding.

This rule is meant to protect the groom in case the bride is unwilling or her enemies do something. On such a happy day, nothing can happen to the protagonist.

Check the gifts you want to bring, have afternoon tea and get ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, a group of guys from the city came on bikes. There were only five or six of them before, but this time there were more than twenty. Xiao Wei only knew most of them.

"What are you doing?"

Hai Tao spread his hands helplessly: "I can't help it. We all want to come and pay our respects to Sister Jiang."
