Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015: Holding Two Wedding Banquets ( 2 )
Everyone thought Mother Pan would be either embarrassed or angry. Unexpectedly, she not only remained composed but she also let out a low laughter. Seeing this, everyone was puzzled.

Mother Pan knew what the middle-aged woman’s intention was. The two families had been at odds for years due to some argument back then.

So, it was natural for the woman to try to embarrass her whenever she had the chance. However, the Pan family did indeed plan to invite everyone to their daughter’s wedding celebration.

“Sister-in-law, you are right. I’m not bragging, but my family’s Jiajia is blessed. Her fiancé and her in-laws adore her. We just picked two dates for the wedding banquet,” Mother Pan said with a bright smile.

Hearing this, someone asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, why two dates?”

Mother Pan had been waiting for this question. So when she heard this, she smiled and replied, “Aiya, why else? My son-in-law insisted on holding two banquets. One in the capital and one in the countryside. He said we should invite our friends and relatives to celebrate their weddings.”

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces. Even for their relatives who work in the government and factory, it is difficult to host one wedding banquet, let alone two wedding banquets. So, they thought Mother Pan was bluffing.

Noticing their expressions, Mother Pan let out a long sigh and said, “We tried to decline, but he said he would handle everything, and we just needed to count the guests. That is the beauty of villagers.”

“They grow their own vegetables and raise their own chickens. Holding a second wedding banquet in the capital isn’t a challenge for them. I’m so envious,” she added with a smile.

An old woman looked at her skeptically and said, “Sister, are you sure they can prepare all the ingredients? If there is nothing to cook on the wedding day, it will be too embarrassing.”

Mother Pan nodded and waved her hand with a smile as she said, “I reminded them about that too, but they said everything is prepared. Some items they grew themselves, others they sourced from the mountains. They will have a friend deliver the goods in a few days.”

Everyone looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Noticing everyone’s expressions, the middle-aged woman sneered and said, “Sister-in-law, talk is cheap, so everyone can say whatever they want. Until we see it for ourselves, we won’t believe your words. How could a villager have this ability?”

Mother Pan nodded with a smile and said, “That’s a matter of course. We are planning to borrow the hall from the compound manager to host the banquet. Sister, feel free to come by and see for yourselves.”

She then looked at the other neighbors and added, “When everything is ready, I will visit and invite everyone personally.”

Neighbors with a good relationship to the Pan family smiled happily and said, “Sister-in-law, we will definitely come. Just remember to prepare the wine.”

“That’s right, we won’t come empty-handed,” another woman added.

“Aiyah, everyone is friends, no need for gifts. Just come and celebrate with us,” Mother Pan replied.

After she finished her words, Mother Pan raised her hand and deliberately showed off her new watch. She glanced at her watch and said, “Aiyah, I must go now. My husband and children are waiting for me to make the guest list. I won’t stay to chat any longer. See you another time, everyone.”

With that, she walked home with a big smile. She felt grateful to Lu Jueyu and held a higher opinion of the Li family.

If not for their insistence on hosting a wedding banquet in the capital city, she would have been humiliated by that middle-aged woman just now. While she could handle the embarrassment, her sons and husband, who worked in government, valued their reputation.

Moreover, she didn’t want anyone looking down on her daughter. Even if her daughter would live in the village in the future, she would have a better life than anyone.

After Mother Pan left, the old woman turned to the middle-aged woman and said provocatively, “Sister-in-law, remember to come when the time comes. It’s rare to have a huge banquet in our compound, so you must come to broaden your horizon.”

“That’s right, call me when you are there, so I can tell you what the food tastes like,” another woman added.

The middle-aged woman snorted and said angrily, “Even if she invites me, I won’t go!”

Hearing her words, an old woman laughed and said, “Sister-in-law, we know you are thick-skinned, but don’t overdo it. You criticize Sister He and her family every day and still want an invitation? Do you think your face is plaster with gold?”

Everyone burst into laughter as soon as they heard her words.

Red with embarrassment, the middle-aged woman stood up and spat at them, “Pei! You are all just bootlickers. Someone like her will never help you. Just wait, you will regret it when you see her true nature in the future.”

“Sister-in-law, we know who is good and who isn’t. Don’t worry about us and just take care of yourself. If you keep fighting with your daughter-in-law, your son might abandon you one day,” another woman chimed in sarcastically.

The middle-aged woman, angrier than ever, retorted, “I can handle my own family matters. No need for your concern!”

When she finished her words, she spat on the ground and stormed off.

The old woman clicked her tongue as she pointed at the middle-aged woman’s back and said, “Everyone should learn from her. Don’t argue with your daughter-in-law every day, or you will end up like her. Her son seemed to have bought a train ticket and planned to send her to her second son in the village.”

“Remember, while your daughter-in-law married into your family, she isn’t a servant. Once married, she is half your daughter. Treat her like your own daughter, and you will have a happy family.”
