Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014: Holding Two Wedding Banquets ( 1 )
Lu Jueyu pretended to think for a moment before she said, “For now, we have prepared enough ingredients to host 30 tables. Aunt, you can tell us how many tables you want, and we will prepare it for your family.”

When the Pan family heard this, they looked at her with surprise. But thinking that Xie Village was too far from here, they couldn’t invite anyone even if they wanted to.

Noticing their hesitation, Lu Jueyu asked, “Aunt, I was thinking that since Xie Village is too far from the capital, how about we hold a wedding banquet once in the capital and another in the village?”

“This way, your family can invite relatives and friends to attend the wedding too. My second brother-in-law can also meet the relatives.”

The moment she finished her words, everyone was surprised, except for Dong Li and Li Chenmo.

“Jueyu, won’t that be too troublesome? It’s alright to have a banquet once in the village,” Pan Meijia said.

Hearing her words, Father Pan nodded and added, “Jiajia is right. Not to mention anything else, just the amount of money needed to hold the banquet will be too much.”

Lu Jueyu smiled when she heard this and said, “Uncle, you and your family don’t have to worry about the banquet. We have a friend who works at the train station.”

“We can ask him to help us send the ingredients over from Xie village. Most of the ingredients were grown by ourselves or sourced from the mountain, so we only need to pay for the shipping cost.”

When Father Li heard this, he nodded and added, “In-laws, just let us know how many tables you need, and we will prepare the ingredients. It’s just that we might need to hold the banquet in the next few days since we only took half a month of leave.”

After hearing what they said, Pan Chiyan thought for a moment before he said, “Father, Mother, I think it’s feasible. Our family has a lot of friends and relatives. We should invite them for a meal to celebrate Jiajia’s wedding.”

“Since our in-laws agree, let’s just hold a banquet here,” Pan Chimu agreed with his brother.

Even though their family was not as influential as the Xiao family, they still had connections in the government and military. If their only daughter marries and they don’t invite everyone for a meal, it would affect their family’s reputation.

While Pan Chiyan and Pan Chimu didn’t want to use their sister’s wedding to boost their career prospects, it was an unavoidable matter.

Since it’s unavoidable, then they should use this wedding banquet to let everyone know that the Pan family’s daughter married well.

Even if their son-in-law was a villager, they were able to provide their daughter with a good life. Additionally, they could use this banquet to explain where they got so many vegetables and fruits.

Since both of them could think about this matter, Father Pan could as well. So, after he considered the pros and cons, he finally said, “In-laws, we will be troubling you with this matter then.”

The moment he said these words, Li Lingyun smiled and said, “Father, this is what we should do.”

Seeing that the Li family had the means, Mother Xiao was delighted. She had watched Pan Meijia grow up and already thought of her as her daughter. So, she was happy to find out that she would have a good life after she married.

“In-laws, we will count the guests and inform you about this matter in a few days,” she said with a smile.

“Good,” Father Li nodded.

“Since we have settled everything, let’s have lunch together. Today’s dishes were prepared by Jiajia,” Mother Xiao added.

Lu Jueyu checked her watch and realized that it was ten past twelve o’clock. Fortunately, they had eaten before coming, or they would be hungry.

Since the table was too small, Pan Chiyan had already borrowed a table and several chairs from the neighbors that morning.

At this moment, the two tables were placed side by side to form a big table. The table was filled with plates and bowls. Due to the distance, they prepared two plates of the same dishes and placed them on each side of the table to make it more convenient for picking up the dishes.

When Lu Jueyu saw the dishes, she smiled and praised, “Jiajia’s cooking skills have improved again.”

Hearing this, Pan Meijia grinned and said, “It’s nothing compared to your cooking. I still have a lot to learn from you, Jueyu.”

“When you join the family, we will live close to each other. It will be convenient for you to come over and learn. I will teach you everything I know,” Lu Jueyu said teasingly.

When Mother Xiao heard this, she patted her friend’s hand and said, “Aifang, you can rest assured now. With a sister-in-law like Jueyu, Jiajia won’t have a hard time after she marries.”

Mother Pan nodded and said, “After I met with them, I feel much more at ease. It’s a blessing from my family’s ancestors that Jiajia is able to find a good man.”

Both of them whispered for a moment and took a seat side by side. Everyone had lunch together while chatting. It was only at three o’clock in the afternoon that they finally left the Pan family’s house.

When the neighbors saw them finally leaving, they couldn’t help but gather in a group and talk about what happened that day. They waited until Mother Pan finished sending off the guests before they stopped her on her way back to her house.

“Sister-in-law, it seems we will be able to drink your family’s wedding wine soon,” one of the neighbors said with a big smile.

Hearing her words, everyone exchanged glances with a knowing look. They already knew that the Pan family’s future son-in-law was a villager who had come with his family to propose.

The wedding itself would be held in the village where the groom’s family resided. Therefore, when they heard the middle-aged woman’s remark, they knew she was trying to make things difficult for Mother Pan.
