Chapter 1282 Bizarre Relatives
Senior Brother Lu's parents are ordinary wage earners, and most of his relatives are also ordinary people.
He has a second uncle who runs a small business and is the wealthiest among his relatives. He is arrogant and thinks he's the best.
During holidays and family gatherings, my second uncle often puts on airs, acting like he's giving orders, and everyone has to listen carefully to whatever he says.
In reality, he's not very cultured and can't say anything profound. He's just a pretentious nouveau riche who loves to show off, but he's not really that rich. He only has a few million in assets, but he often acts like he has hundreds of millions.
Senior Brother Lu looked down on this uncle. Back then, his maternal grandparents saved up some money and gave it all to him. His mother, his two aunts, and his eldest uncle also took good care of him and gave him money.
It can be said that he was supported by everyone. When he started his business, everyone raised the capital for him. As a result, he was lucky enough to make some money, so he became arrogant and looked down on his poor relatives.
He didn't want his second uncle to come to the engagement banquet at all.
Unfortunately, his parents had already sent invitations to all their close relatives, so he couldn't say anything. He just hoped that his second uncle wouldn't cause any trouble.
at the banquet.
Sitting at the main table were Li Xinhe and Senior Brother Lu, the two soon-to-be newlyweds, along with their parents and elders, as well as influential people from both families.
He was dressed in a well-fitting suit, his hair was slicked back, and a watch was dangling from his wrist. After sitting down, he slowly took out his phone and shouted into the other end, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry about that batch of goods, it will definitely arrive next week. If it's even a penny short, just call me!"
After hanging up the phone, he casually put it on the table, glanced at everyone at the table out of the corner of his eye, and added nonchalantly, "It's a small business, not worth mentioning."
Li Weilong: "...?"
Who asked him?
Su Xing sat at the next table.
She heard the voice from the main table, turned her head and saw that the speaker was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with the air of a boss.
She noticed that her master, Li Weilong, frowned slightly.
Looking at Senior Brother Lu again, he glanced coldly at the middle-aged man, his face showing some impatience.
The engagement process has begun.
In some families here, the process of formally recognizing relatives and addressing each other as relatives begins from the engagement.
The emcee cleared his throat, smiled, and shouted loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived! The newlyweds are now addressing each other as 'new brides'!"
Li Xinhe first held up a cup of hot tea and called out in a clear voice, "Dad, Mom."
Lu's parents were all smiles and quickly took out the red envelopes they had prepared beforehand and handed them over. The red envelopes were very thick and clearly contained a lot of goodwill. Afterwards, they also said some words of blessing to the two younger generation.
It was Senior Brother Lu's turn to call for help.
Li Xinhe's mother died early, so he only needs to change how he addresses Li Weilong, his master.
He was very polite and addressed him respectfully, calling him "Dad!"
He was genuinely happy, and he called out "Dad" especially loudly.
However, he still looked a little embarrassed, after all, he used to call Li Weilong "Master".
Li Weilong smiled and nodded, gave his future son-in-law a red envelope as a way of addressing him, and then offered them his blessings.
At this moment, the second uncle suddenly spoke slowly, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone at the table to hear: "The changing of address is a good thing, it has a sense of ceremony. Let me tell you, when my eldest daughter-in-law changed her address, I gave her a big red envelope, 888,000 yuan, just for good luck."
As he spoke, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "I had prepared this for today, but I was in such a rush that I forgot it in the car. I'll have my assistant bring it to the kids later."
Upon hearing this, the relatives at the table all echoed and praised him.
Lu's mother smiled, but she knew perfectly well that her brother's car was parked right at the door; it was just a few steps away if he really wanted to take it. He was just talking the talk.
Senior Brother Lu clenched his fist, gave a cold smile, and remained silent.
Li Xinhe already knew what relatives Lu Shixiong had, and also knew what kind of person this second uncle was.
She just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Next comes the gift-giving ceremony, which is the highlight of the engagement banquet.
The betrothal gifts, gold jewelry, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea that Senior Brother Lu's family had prepared in advance were all served on the table.
The bright red dowry box was opened, revealing neatly stacked cash of 188,000 yuan. Next to it were glittering necklaces, bracelets, and rings, all the three gold items prepared for Xinhe.
There were also two large boxes of fine wine, two boxes of imported fruit, and wedding candies wrapped in red paper piled up on the corner of the table, looking very festive.
The guests all praised the Lu family for their excellent manners.
The bride price wasn't small, but it wasn't outrageously high either.
Moreover, Li Weilong only has one daughter, Li Xinhe, and he has prepared a considerable dowry for her.
My second uncle merely glanced at it, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a hint of regret, "Young people these days still prefer these mundane things..."
He put down his teacup, picked up the gold bracelet again, weighed it in his hand, shook his head and said, "This gold is so heavy to wear, and it looks so tacky. The jewelry we chose for our eldest daughter-in-law was understated yet elegant."
There was a moment of silence.
Li Weilong's face had completely darkened. He snorted coldly, "We are just ordinary people, and we are just right for these ordinary things."
The people from Longwei Martial Arts School also stared at this second uncle, their eyes filled with hostility.
Li Weilong was already dissatisfied with Lu Shixiong's parents. Lu's relatives were saying all sorts of nonsense at the engagement banquet, something that should have been stopped by his parents.
The in-laws didn't say anything, but he had a bad temper and couldn't help but speak first.
Senior Brother Lu's face was so dark it could drip water. "Second Uncle! If you think the dowry I gave Xiao He was too little, or the jewelry not understated and luxurious enough, why don't you, as an elder, support us a little more? We won't mind how much you give us."
The second uncle immediately said, "The bride price should be prepared by you and your parents. It's not appropriate for me to pay... isn't it?"
Lu's father couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "Then you should say less!"
He had long been dissatisfied with his brother-in-law. He usually turned a blind eye to the guy's arrogance, but now that his son was getting engaged, couldn't this guy at least consider the occasion?!
My second uncle was quite embarrassed after being rebuked.
He was about to say something more when several relatives of the Lu family stopped him and changed the subject.
The emcee quickly proceeded to the next step.
Su Xing shook his head inwardly; many families have such eccentric relatives.
Senior Brother Lu must be feeling very upset right now.
She felt some sympathy for Senior Brother Lu.
During the toasting ceremony, the newlyweds, holding wine glasses, went from table to table to toast the elders and guests.
Everyone says auspicious words, such as "Happy engagement" and "May you have a long and happy marriage," which warms people's hearts.
When it was the second uncle's turn, Senior Brother Lu took a deep breath and was about to raise his glass when the second uncle suddenly stood up.
He laughed loudly at the people in the room, "My nephew has been honest since he was a child. He will definitely be a good husband after he gets married."
Then, changing the subject, he patted his chest and said, "Hey nephew, if you'd like to work for my company, I'll give you a position, plus year-end bonuses. You'll live a life of luxury!"
