HCB Chapter 511 was not only not an aid, but actually a hindrance.
Chapter 511 was not only not an aid, but actually a hindrance.
Today is Mr. Dong's wedding day.
He should have been living a carefree and happy life with his wife.
As a result, it turned out like this.
His wife was angry and wouldn't let him into the house, and his parents came looking for him, making a scene.
They even took the two hundred yuan dowry money from Wang Youyou.
One can imagine how Wang Defa would react when he found out about this.
Liking Wang Youyou is one thing, wanting to get close to Wang Defa is another.
Although Wang Defa had not been promoted for a long time, he had been in the position of brigade commander for so long that he had deep roots and a great deal of power.
Moreover, Wang Youyou's mother is very wealthy.
Old Dong also felt that being with Wang Youyou would save him from many detours and allow him to leverage Wang Youyou's influence.
Before, I was unloved by my parents, but now that I'm married and there's an advantage to be had, they've become very supportive.
Old Dong really felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.
My family was already struggling financially, and I had to rely on myself to have a better life. But instead of being a help, my parents were dragging me down.
Now, hearing his mother urging him to go out and buy some snacks and meat to go with his drinks, Old Dong became irritable.
He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glared at his mother.
Old Dong's mother had never seen Old Dong look at her like that before, and she suddenly became a little flustered.
"My son, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"
Old Dong's mother felt that her third son was easy to control, but his eyes... made her feel somewhat unfamiliar with him.
She gave an awkward laugh. "Son, don't be angry with your mother. You'll understand later that everything I've done is for your own good." Old Dong's mother put on a smiling face and spoke gently.
Old Dong withdrew his gaze, changed his shoes, and went out.
Outside, it was already getting dark, and it wasn't as hot as during the day. Old Dong lowered his head and headed towards the canteen in the family compound.
When we got to the cafeteria, we found that many dishes only had a little bit left.
However, this is the only canteen in the residential compound, and since I arrived late, I should at least buy some things to take home.
I bought stir-fried chives with dried tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, and stir-fried cucumber slices, and also packed a few multigrain steamed buns.
There are no other staple foods available here.
Old Dong picked up the packed items and walked outside.
At the entrance, I ran into a few comrades who had just finished eating.
"Old Dong? Why aren't you at home on your wedding night? Why are you out getting food?"
"Judging from this, they didn't catch much meat or vegetables."
"They must be late. Maybe they were too focused on their work and that's why they were delayed," several comrades said to each other.
Old Dong felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Old Dong gave a brief reply, picked up his things, and walked away quickly.
"Look at him, doesn't he seem a little off?"
"Maybe it's because we're newly married and a little lacking in self-control."
Then, another burst of laughter followed.
After Lao Dong left, he could still hear the voices of his comrades behind him.
Old Dong could only quicken his pace and leave this place as soon as possible.
On his wedding night, he felt somewhat pathetic.
Old Dong brought the food home and put it on the table. His parents quickly came out.
His father was also carrying a bottle of wine.
It's the liquor that Lao Dong keeps in the living room; a bottle costs six yuan.
Before Lao Dong could say anything, his father had already opened the bottle of liquor.
The words Old Dong hadn't had a chance to say got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
"Son, why did you buy these things?"
Old Dong walked to the door, intending to knock and invite Wang Youyou out for something to eat, but instead heard his mother, who was at the dining table, let out an incredulous sound.
It was as if they were complaining about the vegetables they bought.
"Friend," Old Dong knocked on the door and called out.
But there was no response from inside.
Old Dong's mother was still complaining behind his back about the food he bought.
And there wasn't even a single meat dish.
"Old man, it seems your son didn't buy you any snacks to go with your drinks," Old Dong's mother said, clicking her tongue.
"It's alright, I'll just eat a bite." Old Dong's father didn't seem to have any complaints.
After all, back in his hometown, a plate of pickled cucumbers wouldn't stop him from drinking.
Old Dong stood at the door and knocked a few more times, but still received no response.
Old Dong was worried that something might happen to Wang Youyou in the room, so he spoke gently, "Youyou, give me a response, otherwise I'll worry about you."
Wang Youyou only made a sound after hearing this.
“Son, you won’t starve if you skip a meal. There’s only a little food. If she doesn’t want to eat, that’s fine. We’ll eat it ourselves,” Old Dong’s mother continued.
Seeing that Wang Youyou wasn't coming out, and not wanting to eat himself, Old Dong stood at the door without saying a word.
But I could already hear my father drinking and my mother eating at the dinner table.
Although Wang Youyou felt very hot inside the room, she still covered her face with a blanket and sobbed.
She has never suffered such injustice in her life.
While they were crying, they noticed that behind the curtain, Old Dong was still standing there.
At this time, the door was a wooden door that was over 80 centimeters wide and less than two meters high.
A square notch was cut at the top to accommodate the glass.
Inside the room, where the glass is, hangs a curtain. The curtain is only slightly larger than the glass and has some embroidered patterns on it, but it doesn't offer much privacy.
So you can vaguely see the figures of people outside.
If Lao Dong went out to eat with his parents at this time, Wang Youyou would probably be even more furious.
But then I saw Old Dong standing silently at the door.
In the end, Wang Youyou did soften her heart for a moment.
She silently got out of bed and walked to the door.
Wang Youyou opened the door.
Old Dong was leaning against the door when Wang Youyou suddenly pulled the door, causing him to stumble a couple of steps.
"Youyou." Old Dong was still happy to see Wang Youyou open the door.
Wang Youyou let Lao Dong in and then closed the door.
As soon as Lao Dong came in, he apologized to Wang Youyou, saying sorry over and over again.
Seeing Lao Dong like this, Wang Youyou also felt uncomfortable.
"I'll find a way to give you the bride price again. I'll send them away tomorrow, so don't be angry," Old Dong said to Wang Youyou guiltily.
She said this to prevent Wang Youyou from telling Wang Defa about getting the bride price back.
If Wang Defa finds out, it might cause him a lot of dissatisfaction.
Listening to Lao Dong's words, Wang Youyou felt disgusted by Lao Dong's parents, but since they were going to be sent back to their hometown tomorrow, she figured she might as well stay one night.
Old Dong kept showering him with sweet words and making promises.
Wang Youyou nodded and stopped arguing with Lao Dong.
