Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

The expected joy was replaced by a sudden uneasiness, and the guests' faces gradually revealed some doubts and dissatisfaction.

An indescribable anger surged in Liu Haizhong's heart, and he began to worry about his son's condition.

"Old Liu, what's going on? There seems to be some problem with Guangqi?"

"Yes, the guests are waiting. It's not a good idea to keep waiting like this." The second aunt finally couldn't help but speak up, trying to get some instructions from her husband.

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

He understood that as the host, he could not let this festive occasion become so embarrassing.

So he quickly found a reason and announced the start of the banquet in an attempt to calm the guests' anxiety.

Although Liu Haizhong managed to maintain a smile while socializing with the guests, the worry in his heart was like a dark cloud that was hard to dispel.

All the signs today gave him a bad feeling.

He couldn't help but start to wonder if there was some truth hidden behind this wedding that they were not aware of.

When the guests gradually dispersed, Liu Haizhong immediately gathered his family and hurried to the home of Liu Guangqi's fiancee.

However, when they arrived, they found the place empty and silent.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for here?" a neighbor asked curiously.

"Excuse me, does Zhao Juan live here?" Liu Haizhong asked tentatively.

"Yes, but that was all in the past. I heard that Zhao Juan's parents were recently transferred to another place. They sold their house and are planning to move to Hebei Province. They will never come back." The neighbor replied.

"How is this possible?" Liu Haizhong said in shock, "What about my Guangqi?"

Although he was full of doubts and uneasiness, Liu Haizhong decided to go and confirm it in person.

He first went to Zhao Juan's parents' new workplace and confirmed that they had indeed left.

Then, he went to Zhao Juan's workplace. After making inquiries from many sources, he finally accepted a cruel fact - his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, who he was so proud of, had quietly left with his father-in-law's family after receiving the marriage certificate, and most likely had already boarded a train to Hebei Province.

This sudden news was like a huge rock pressing heavily on Liu Haizhong's heart.

He could not accept the fact that his eldest son had given up everything for a woman and even became a son-in-law of another family.

This huge contrast made him feel deeply shocked and disappointed.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the courtyard, Liu Guangqi's sudden departure from home was like a bombshell, causing ripples on the calm surface of a lake.

Liu Haizhong's once extremely proud eldest son, on the day of his wedding, took his new wife and silently boarded a train to Hebei Province, following his father-in-law's family, leaving behind a yard of astonished and puzzled looks.

Liu Haizhong, the father who was always known for his majesty, was filled with anger and disappointment as fierce as a storm after learning about this.

His blood pressure rose sharply, and he eventually fainted in anger and confusion. His family, including his second aunt, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, were at a loss for what to do and rushed him to the hospital.

In the courtyard, discussions were surging like a tide. People speculated why Liu Guangqi made such an unexpected decision, choosing to become someone else's son-in-law rather than return to the place he once called home. Many people knew that there must be a hidden reason behind this.

"Have you heard?" someone whispered, "The eldest son of the second uncle actually abandoned his family and followed his father-in-law."

"Yes," another person said, "The second uncle is usually very strict with the children. Guangtian and Guangfu have been punished by him a lot. Liu Guangqi saw it and naturally felt bad."

"Oh, how pitiful are the love of parents in the world!" Someone else sighed, "But who knows what their children are thinking?" In the hospital, Liu Haizhong opened his eyes with difficulty.

What caught my eye was the worried face of the second aunt and her two sons waiting by her bedside.

The anger and confusion in his heart burned like a raging fire. He didn't understand why his eldest son would be so cruel as to abandon this family.

"Quick, contact Guangqi for me!" He struggled to sit up, his voice hoarse and tired, "I want to ask him in person what I, as a father, did wrong!"

However, at this time, Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and others also came to visit after hearing the news. They heard what Liu Haizhong said and understood the helplessness and anger of the father.

Sha Zhu said bluntly: "Second uncle, we all know about your family's affairs. But then again, you are usually so strict with your children. Guangtian and Guangfu were often beaten by you when they were young. When they grow up, they may have their own ideas."

Sha Zhu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Liu Hai's heart.

He stared at Sha Zhu with his eyes wide open, his hands clenched into fists, as if he would faint again at any time. However, he finally held back because he knew that he could not fall down, and this family still needed him to support it.

Mr. Liu, I think you may need me to step aside for a while. Sha Zhu looked at Liu Haizhong, who was unhappy, and tried to express his position in a more tactful way. He continued, but I actually have something important to discuss with you.

Do you remember? Sha Zhu paused for a moment and continued, "You once entrusted me to host a wedding banquet. All expenses, including food and labor costs, totaled 150 yuan. At that time, you only paid a 30 yuan advance payment, and there was still a balance of 120 yuan to be paid."

You can't just ignore this expense. Sha Zhu's tone was firm. This 120 yuan really meant a lot to him. Although he had a stable income of more than 30 yuan a month, considering that he often had to help Qin Huairu, plus some of his own daily expenses, the money he could save every month was not much.

However, Liu Haizhong flatly refused after hearing this: "Shazhu, this account has nothing to do with me, you don't need to mention it anymore. My son has left, so the wedding banquet is naturally cancelled. You should go and ask those who attended the wedding banquet that day for the fee!"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu frowned: "Mr. Liu, you are wrong to say that. You were the one who entrusted me to prepare the wedding banquet, and you also asked me to pay for the ingredients. If you don't pay the balance, then I can only seek legal means to resolve it."

Today, Sha Zhu is no longer the impulsive and reckless young man he used to be. He has learned to use the law to protect his rights and interests.
