Chapter 208 Twists and turns
Zhang Dahua saluted and called out, "Grandfather, Grandma!"
Lord Wang happily responded, "Okay, okay, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
Old Madam Yang just said "hmm" lightly. This was the first time she met her grandson's wife, so she gave her a gift.
It’s just that the gift was very ordinary and the expression was rather dull.
The Zhang family saw it all and were mentally prepared, so they didn't say anything.
Ye Hongling pulled Zhang Dahahua to sit next to her, and then asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Madam Yang said, "Please wait a moment. Xiaorong and Lihe haven't arrived yet."
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table looked different.
Madam Yang continued, "It's time for the two families to meet officially. Xingren's aunt should also come and meet them."
Li sat on Zhang Hulan's left. She gently pulled Zhang Hulan under the table, and Zhang Hulan shook Li's hand.
Zhang Hulan held Zhang Dahua's hand with her right hand again, signaling them to calm down first.
Wang Xingren said, "Grandma, today is the day for all of our two families to get to know each other. Why did you ask Auntie to come?"
Ye Hongling's face didn't look good either. She was the one who treated everyone to dinner today, and Old Madam Yang asked Wang Xiaorong and her daughter to come over without even saying hello to her.
Madam Yang said, "Your aunt is also a member of our family, so you should meet her as well."
After saying this, Madam Yang looked at the Zhang family and continued, "Aren't there quite a few relatives from your wife's side as well? Uncles, aunts, and other aunts are all here. It would be good for the two families to meet each other. We'll all be family in the future. Otherwise, we won't recognize each other on the street."
Zhang Hulan said, "We were indeed a little abrupt today. It's a bit inappropriate to have so many people come with their families.
We are all country folk, we don't know the etiquette, please don't blame me, old lady."
Zhang Hulan stood up after she finished speaking. "Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, you guys accompany Old Marquis Wang, his wife, and Xingren for dinner. Hu Bing and the others will be leaving first."
When Zhang Hulan said this, everyone was shocked.
Zhang Hubing quickly helped Xiang Chunhua stand up.
There are two tables in the private room. The Zhang family has many children, so one table is specially set up for them.
Seeing Zhang Hulan stand up, Zhang Xinyao and the others all stood up and prepared to follow Zhang Hulan.
Zhang Hulan only mentioned herself and Zhang Hubing's family, and did not ask Old Man Zhang and the others to leave. This was considered to save face for Ye Hongling and Wang Xingren, but she did not expect that this would ruin Zhang Dahua's marriage.
But they have to show it when they need to, otherwise people will think that the Zhang family is from the countryside and take advantage of them at will, and then Zhang Dahua’s life will not be easy in the future.
In ancient times, filial piety was emphasized. After Zhang Dahua married into the family, there was no telling how the old woman would make things difficult for him.
It is true that they are country folk, but they are not people who can be manipulated by others.
She was not afraid that the Wang family or Old Madam Yang would target her. People like them all wanted to save face and would not do anything openly.
But if it comes to what is done behind the scenes, Zhang Hulan is not afraid.
It's not like she doesn't do things that are shady.
Wang Xingren stood up hurriedly, "Aunt, please don't..."
Ye Hongling also stood up and pulled Zhang Hulan, "Sister, don't be angry, Grandma Xingren didn't mean that."
Old Madam Yang's face looked very ugly. She didn't expect that this man had such a bad temper. He would explode regardless of the occasion or the other person's right or wrong.
Old Marquis Wang's expression was not looking good either.
He thought that Old Madam Yang had accepted Wang Xingren marrying Zhang Dahua, but he didn't expect her to start making trouble again today.
Ye Hongyun suddenly stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll leave too.
Speaking of which, Hu Lan and the others are still Da Hua's aunts and uncles. Although Xing Ren calls me aunt, she is not a real aunt. I should be the one to leave..."
Ye Hongling glared at Ye Hongyun. Why are you still causing trouble at this time?
Madam Yang didn't expect Ye Hongyun to help Zhang Hulan. She quickly said, "Hongyun girl, that's not what I meant. Please don't think too much about it."
Wang Xingren apologized to Zhang Hulan, "Auntie, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Zhang Hulan sighed in her heart. She had no opinion about Wang Xingren at all.
Ye Hongling pulled Zhang Hulan to sit down again, "Alright, alright, just for Hongyun's sake, eat this meal first."
Ye Hongling was also surprised. She didn't expect that Ye Hongyun and Zhang Hulan had such a good relationship.
Just as the stalemate was about to begin, Wang Xiaorong and Li He appeared at the door of the box.
"Oh, what's going on?" Wang Xiaorong walked into the box with a smile, "There are so many people here, it's really lively."
Zhang Hulan glanced at the two people who came in and knew that they must be Wang Xingren's aunt and cousin.
She sat down and wanted to see what Madam Yang was going to do by calling the mother and daughter here.
Zhang Hulan sat down, followed by Zhang Hubing, Xiang Chunhua and Ye Hongyun.
Madam Yang waved to Wang Xiaorong and Li He, "Come, come and sit down."
Wang Xiaorong sat down next to Old Madam Yang, who said to Ye Hongling, "Everyone is here, let's serve the food."
When the food and wine were served, Wang Xingren hurriedly asked everyone to start eating.
After just two bites, Madam Yang said to Zhang Dahua, "Dahua, this is Xingren's cousin. She grew up with Xingren and they have a very good relationship. You should get closer to Li He in the future."
Originally, I was planning to marry Li He to Xing Ren, but since Xin likes you, I agreed to Xing Ren's decision.
This is what I think. Let Li He be the second wife in the future. You can take good care of Xingren together. This way you can relax a little bit."
"Shut up..." Old Marquis Wang's face looked very ugly.
Wang Xingren's face also looked extremely ugly.
Ye Hongling and Ye Hongyun's expressions did not look much better either.
Originally, last time Li He ran away, saying that she didn't want to be a mistress, Madam Yang was thinking of letting it go.
But later Wang Xiaorong found Old Madam Yang again and said that Li He agreed to be a mistress, which led to this incident.
But no one expected that Madam Yang would bring it up at this time.
Zhang Hulan put down her chopsticks expressionlessly, stood up and said to Ye Hongling, "Madam Hou, we can't eat this meal. We will apologize to you and the Marquis another day."
Zhang Hulan then said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Dahua, let's go."
The entire Zhang family stood up. Ye Hongyun also stood up, then looked at Ye Hongling with dissatisfaction and said, "Sister, what have you done? How can I live like this in the future?"
Ye Hongling and Wang Xingren both stood up quickly, "Dear relatives..."
But Ye Hongling didn't know what to say to the Zhang family.
Wang Xingren apologized to Zhang Hulan again, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I..."
Zhang Hulan interrupted Wang Xingren and said, "Mr. Wang, I think we should wait and see about this marriage.
We are indeed from the countryside and have not seen much of the world. We have never heard of anyone talking to the future wife in front of her about finding a concubine for her husband before she even gets married.
This capital city is really different. People like us from the countryside have never seen it before."
Zhang Hulan stared at Wang Xingren and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you remember what you said to us at the beginning?
He said that he would never let our Dahua be bullied or wronged in the future.
Is this what you mean by not being bullied or wronged?
This hasn’t even entered the door yet…”
