The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

Chapter 322 What if Mom makes excessive demands?

Mr. and Mrs. Tang went upstairs and didn't come down for a long time.

Xiao Tang went to pour tea for a few people, and Director Wu also chatted with them for a few minutes.

Only then did everyone understand why Mother Tang hated the country people so much.

"Her best friend's daughter went to the countryside and was not only raped by a pair of brothers, but also had her legs broken. She later became pregnant and died before the child was born. When her best friend's family heard the news, they wanted to take their daughter's body back. They clashed with the family as soon as they entered the village and were beaten until they were bleeding. After reporting the case, everyone in the village protected their own people and made the family blame them. In the end, her family had to pay the family a lot of money before they could take the body away. So Zhifang has hated the country people since then."

This was the first time Xiao Tang had heard of this. At first, he was surprised and angry, but then he said, "Even so, Mom can't just slam all the country people!"

"Yes, not to mention the country people, there are also good and bad people in the city."

Everyone agreed with Xu Yu's words.

They chatted for a few more minutes before Mr. Tang came down.

Mother Tang did not come down.

Tang's father explained: "Mother Chunling feels a little dizzy and wants to lie down on the bed for a while."

It was obvious that what Mr. Tang said was an excuse, but no one exposed it.

Tang's father looked at Xu Jianping and said, "You're a good boy. Since Chunling has taken a fancy to you, we, as parents, can't do anything to break up a couple. However, you only see each other once or twice a week, so your relationship is definitely not at a stage where both families would sit down and discuss marriage."

"So I discussed it with Chunling's mom. You two can just date for now. We don't expect Chunling to marry a powerful person in the future, but at least her life after marriage can't be any worse than it is now."

Now that Mr. Tang has said this, everyone understands what they mean.

Xu Jianping must have promised him that he would not let Xiao Tang suffer with him.

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi looked at each other.

Xu Yu asked Tang's father, "Since Uncle Tang agreed to let my second brother and Little Tang date first, why don't you also tell us your family's betrothal gift requirements in advance? That way, our Xu family and my second brother will have a better idea and know how to work hard to earn it."

Xu Jianping nodded quickly: "Yes."

Director Wu and Xiao Tang stared at Tang's father.

Mr. Tang was stared at by his brother-in-law and didn't know how to start for a moment, especially since he and his wife had never thought about this matter.

Director Wu saw what his brother-in-law was thinking and suggested, "This matter definitely needs to be discussed carefully. How about this? I'll get back to you after my sister and brother-in-law have discussed it."

Xu Jianping looked at Xu Yu and Jiang Yi.

Xu Yu nodded at him.

Xu Jianping nodded: "Okay."

Since it has been agreed upon and Tang's mother has this attitude towards Xu Jianping, there is no need for Xu Yu and the others to stay in their house forever.

Xu Yu and the other two stood up, and Director Wu and the others followed suit.

Xu Yu said, "Uncle Tang, you still have to go to work this afternoon, so we won't disturb you."

After saying that, he pointed to the gift they had placed by the door and said, "This is a meeting gift from my second brother. Don't forget to accept it."

Xu Jianping hurried over to get it and handed it to Tang's father.

Mr. Tang subconsciously looked at the bags of gifts in front of him. They were good cigarettes, alcohol and tea. For a moment, he looked at Xu Jianping with a little surprise.

At the same time, I also felt a little satisfied.

He took it with a smile and said a few polite words.

Several people walked out of the yard together.

After sending Xu Yu and the others out, Director Wu did not leave with them. Instead, he asked Jiang Yi and the others when they would be leaving. He said, "If you're not in a hurry to go back today, I happened to be on a business trip in Haicheng and brought back two bottles of wine there. Let's have a drink together tonight."

Jiang Yi did not answer immediately, but looked at Xu Yu and then looked at Xu Jianping.

Xu Jianping must want to know what the Tang family requires of him before leaving.

Jiang Yi nodded to Director Wu.

After the four of them left, Director Wu seemed to know that Tang's mother was standing by the window upstairs. He looked up at the closed window and called her, "Zhifang, come down and talk."

……

After Xu Yu and the others returned, Yang Wenhui, who had been waiting for them, hurriedly asked, "Did the Tang family agree to Xiao Tang and Jianping being together?"

Xu Yu told her about the Tang family's attitude.

After hearing this, Yang Wenhui looked at Xu Jianping and said to him, "It's a good thing that Comrade Tang agreed to let you and Xiao Tang date. As long as you work hard, they will definitely accept you soon."

Xu Jianping nodded at her.

Then they had a good chat about the possible requests that the Tang family might make.

Xiao Tang did not come over in the afternoon, but some people came to Xu Yu to get medicine to regulate their bodies.

Xu Jianping had nothing to do, so he simply took Tang Tangguo with him and Jiang Yi.

He hugged Tangtang.

Tangtang could obviously feel his mood, and the four-month-old baby put her little face against his, as if to comfort him.

Xu Jianping was comforted. He said to Tangtang, "No matter how many demands the Tang family makes, your second uncle will definitely marry your Aunt Tang back to you as your second aunt."

Jiang Yi said to him, "It's okay if the bride price is high. We can find a solution together."

Xu Jianping nodded at him.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Director Wu came over and invited Jiang Yi and others over.

Unexpectedly, Director Wu’s eldest son, who works in the city, also came back.

He introduced his eldest son to Jiang Yi: "This is my eldest son Zhixiang."

Wu Zhixiang looks quite similar to Factory Director Wu. He is tall and thin, and also wears glasses. He already has what people in later generations call an elite style.

He was particularly polite to Xu Yu and the others, and even more respectful to Jiang Yi.

After chatting for a while, we found out that he was assigned to a textile factory in the city after graduating from university. Within two years, he went from an ordinary worker to a management position.

His ability is beyond doubt.

Xu Yu asked in confusion, "Why didn't Comrade Wu just go back to the furniture factory to work?"

Director Wu smiled and helped him out, "This guy originally thought that the development prospects of a furniture factory were not as good as those of a textile factory. As a recent college graduate, he was arrogant and looked down on our small factory."

Wu Zhixiang immediately retorted with a smile: "It's not that I look down on you, I just want to try my luck out there and see how capable I am."

From the conversation between father and son, we can see that they have a good relationship.

Xu Yu then asked, "Will Comrade Wu return to the furniture factory?"

"Yes." Wu Zhixiang did not hide his ambition at all: "The furniture factory is developing better and better now. I want to work with my father and others to develop the furniture factory better."

Xu Yu actually admired such confident and ambitious people, so he smiled and said, "You will definitely succeed."

Wu Zhixiang looked at Jiang Yi with a smile and said, "With Comrade Jiang's help, I believe we will succeed."

Xu Jianping looked at the confident and calm Wu Zhixiang, and was suddenly moved by his emotions.

He also wanted to be like them.

After they chatted for a while, Director Wu’s two daughters also came back.

Xu Yu and her friends brought their babies over tonight. When the two girls saw the babies, they were so excited that they wanted to hold them.

The babies were not shy, especially Guoguo, who kept babbling and made everyone's hearts melt.

After a while, Xiao Tang's family also came.

Xiao Tang and Tang Xueyan also joined in entertaining the baby.

Others sat and chatted.

Tang's father was also a little surprised: "Why is Zhixiang back?"

Wu Zhixiang smiled and said, "My dad called this morning to say Comrade Jiang was here. I've always admired him and wanted to meet him for a long time, but I never had the chance before, so I took a day off to come back today."

Mother Tang and Mrs. Wu sat together, their expressions still dull.

Seeing that no one was cooking, Tang's father asked again, "Are we going to the state-owned restaurant for dinner tonight?"

Director Wu replied, "No, I asked the furniture factory cafeteria to prepare a few dishes for us, and they will be delivered to us later."

Since we didn't have to cook, we just continued to sit together and chat.

No one mentioned Xu Jianping and Xiao Tang. Everyone was talking about when Wu Zhixiang would return to the furniture factory and the construction of employee dormitories at the furniture factory.

Factory Director Wu smiled and said, "Our factory's orders are already booked until the year after next, and we'll be hiring a lot of employees, so I've already applied to the higher authorities for permission to build dormitories for our employees."

They were talking about the furniture factory, and Xu Yu, Xiao Tang and the others sat together and brought candies and fruits.

Tang Xueyan, Wu Yunxia and Wu Dandan all knew about Xiao Tang and Xu Jianping, and also saw Tang's mother's attitude, so the three of them were a little worried about her.

Tang Xueyan lowered her voice and said worriedly, "What if Mom makes excessive demands?"
