When Zhang Delong was young, he pursued Zhang Liang's mother, Tao Juan. However, due to the desperate opposition of both parents, the two were unable to get together. After a while, Tao Juan married Zhang Fu, a carpenter in the village. Their baby was born a year later. They gave birth to a son named Zhang Liang.
Zhang Delong also married a woman from another village with the help of his family.
More than ten years have passed in a flash.
One day at noon, carpenter Zhang Fu went up to the roof to dry peanuts. Suddenly he slipped and fell from the roof. By coincidence, Zhang Fu's head hit a stone and he died on the spot.
Once Zhang Fu died, Tao Juan and her son's life became extremely difficult. Three meals a day became a problem.
Just then, Zhang Delong appeared. He helped Tao Juan and her son cut firewood and carry water every day. Occasionally, he would also send some rice and vegetables. As time went by, some rumors began to spread in the village about the relationship between Zhang Delong and Tao Juan. There is adultery. Even Zhang Liang is Zhang Delong’s illegitimate son.
Gradually rumors spread to the ears of Zhang Delong's wife Xia Li. Xia Li had a hot temper. As soon as she heard that Tao Juan was seducing her husband, without saying a word, she came to Tao Juan with a kitchen knife to fight for her life. Fortunately, she was rushed to her in time. Zhang Delong stopped him. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
From then on, Xia Li quarreled with Zhang Delong every day. Sometimes they even threw pots and bowls. Finally, Zhang Delong got angry and divorced Xia Li.
After the divorce, Zhang Delong no longer had any scruples. He basically spent time at Tao Juan's house every day. All the work that a man should do was done.
Just like that, several years passed peacefully.
Zhang Liang grew up and was admitted to a prestigious university.
Zhang Delong was very pleased to see such a promising place.
Once, while having dinner, Zhang Liang suddenly proposed that Zhang Delong and Tao Juan get married.
Zhang Delong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't say a word for a long time. Tao Juan was also silent. In the end, the meal ended on bad terms.
Later, I asked Zhang Delong and Tao Juan why they were unwilling to get married, but neither of them gave a clear answer.
After Zhang Liang graduated from university, he was assigned to work as a translator in a foreign company with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. Later, he met a girl named Wang Lan through someone's introduction. It can be said that the two fell in love at first sight. After getting along for more than a year, they decided to get married.
…
The wedding day finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Zhang Liang dressed up and went out to wait for the bride. However, he never expected that after the wedding car arrived at the door of his house, Wang Lan's brother would deliberately make things difficult for him, forcing him to come up with 100,000 yuan. Zhang Liang had just attended. After working for less than two years, all the savings in his hand were used to build a second-floor building. Even the money for engagement and wedding gifts was borrowed from others. At this time, Zhang Liang really can't come up with 100,000 yuan.
Just when Zhang Liang was in great distress, Zhang Delong came over.
"I have one hundred thousand yuan here." Zhang Delong handed a bank card to Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang hurriedly declined: "Godfather, how can I ask for your money?"
"What's yours and mine? I'm your godfather. I'll give you two money to spend. Isn't that what you should do?" Zhang Delong's face sank and he directly put the bank card into Zhang Liang's hand.
"Godfather..." Zhang Liang's eyes were slightly red.
Zhang Delong reached out and patted Zhang Liang's shoulder: "Today is your special day. Don't shed tears. Quickly, give your bank card to your wife." It was obvious that Zhang Delong really loved Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang held back tears. He turned around and handed the bank card to the bride.
"Wait." Wang Yongzhi reached out and held Zhang Liang's wrist.
Zhang Liang turned his head in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Wang Yongzhi glanced at the bank card in Zhang Liang's hand and said crookedly: "There is really 100,000 yuan in the bank card."
Zhang Liang was stunned: "My godfather said there is..."
"Tch. Mouth is the most unreliable. What if your godfather cheats on you." Wang Yongzhi sneered.
Zhang Liang frowned: "Impossible. My godfather never lies to me."
"In-laws, there is indeed 100,000 yuan on the card. I am going to renovate the house. If you don't believe it, you can go to the bank to check." Zhang Delong said with a smile.
"What you said is true and light." Wang Yongzhi curled his lips: "This is a rural area. It is dozens of miles away from the bank. How can I check it?"
"This..." Zhang Delong was stunned: "Let's do this. I will write you a certificate. If there is no one hundred thousand yuan in the card in the future, you can come to me with the certificate. I will compensate you immediately." It's true. He is the village chief. He has a very flexible mind.
Wang Yongzhi's expression was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether to believe Zhang Delong's words.
"In-laws, I am the village chief of Cherry Village. What I say will definitely count. No matter what, I will ask all the villagers in the village to testify for me." Zhang Delong saw that his attention was a little loose, and he immediately added fire.
Wang Yongzhi turned to look at his sister Wang Lan in the car: "Xiaolan, what do you think?"
"Xiaolan, I can guarantee with my personality that my godfather never lies to others." Zhang Liang said word by word.
After a while, Wang Lan nodded slightly: "Just do what godfather Zhang Liang said."
Hearing that the bride agreed, Zhang Delong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was still thinking that if the bride did not accept his proposal, then he would immediately ride a motorcycle to the county town to withdraw money.
The next thing became much easier. Zhang Delong found a piece of paper and a pen, wrote a certificate and gave it to the bride. After that, Zhang Liang bent down and took the bride out of the car. He took big steps. Walking towards the backyard of the small building, I plan to hold a ceremony.
"Set off firecrackers." Zhang Delong shouted loudly.
"Crackling..." The firecrackers hanging in front of the small building were lit.
…
Looking at the back of Zhang Liang carrying the bride into the small building, Lin San smiled with the corner of his mouth raised.
"Why are you laughing?" Lin Dahai asked doubtfully.
"It's really hard to get a wife now. In just a few minutes, one hundred thousand yuan was gone." Lin San shook his head.
"Haha... This is how society is now. You can't get a wife without money. Let's go. The ceremony is about to begin." Lin Dahai greeted and walked into the small building.
Lin San supported his grandfather Lin Wanshan and followed Lin Dahai through the hall of the small building to the backyard.
At this time, the backyard was crowded with people. There was laughter and laughter everywhere.
A high platform was built in the center of the backyard. Standing on the high platform was a young man holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand and was thinking about something.
Zhang Liang and his bride Wang Lan were standing under the high platform.
The young man on the high platform is called Ergazi. He is a relative of Zhang Liang. At this time, he will serve as the host of the ceremony.
Generally, the host of the ceremony must choose someone who is younger than the groom. In this way, the host can "tease" the groom and the bride unscrupulously.
Last night, Ergazi stayed up all night and rushed out a rich manuscript.
