Rebirth: Qi Yang’s Wonderful Life - C201

When the car arrived at the bridal chamber, the big arch stood at the entrance of the district, where many classmates came to help. When Li Lei came to help, he saw Hua Che come and immediately lit up the firecrackers at the entrance. When the firecrackers were done, Wu Yuzheng walked towards the bridal chamber while carrying the firecrackers with a red cover over his head.

The new daughter-in-law was to sit on a bed in a room, a new bed, covered with a new quilt. The new daughter-in-law was to sit on a bed, holding a red handkerchief wrapped with several candies in her hand, ready to receive everyone’s attention.

A few relatives and friends surrounded him. Wu Yuzheng’s first aunt came over with a bowl of dumplings, used her chopsticks to pick one up and put it in his mouth. He took a bite, but his face was not familiar. First aunt asked, “You want to die?”

“Yes!” There was a burst of laughter in the room.

First aunt said, “Life is good, life is good!” He handed the bowl to the person next to him, took out a red velvet bag from his pocket and said, “This is a present from your deceased mother-in-law on behalf of my sister. I hope that you and Little Zheng can make peace with each other and have an early birth!”

Everyone cheered. Qi Zheng took a look at Cui Jie, who was standing to the side, and his face changed. He stood there watching his aunt take out a warm jade ornament and said: “This was left behind by your grandmother.” As he spoke, he tied it around his neck.

Once this jade ornament was brought out, it caused a few people who knew what it was to exclaim, “It’s rare to see old items like this. It seems like your family is also one with some background.”

First aunt looked at the jade ornament on Qi Zhengyuan’s neck and said: “That is because our Zhao Family is well-known for our scholarly style. The descendants of our family have allowed martial arts to be done, and they have been passed down for hundreds of years. They are also families that have produced many Scholars and Martial Scholars.”

Someone said, “No wonder a scholar’s house is different from an ordinary family.” The envy in his voice was obvious.

In this room, there were many people who were either family members or part of Wu Yuzheng’s dad’s unit. The matter of Wu Yuzheng’s family wasn’t a secret. For his first aunt to say such words at such an occasion made him feel like slapping Cui Jie’s face.

Seeing the worried expression on Qi Zhengyuan’s face, First Aunt took the opportunity to help him tidy up the bridal gown before saying in a low voice, “It’s alright, your second mother-in-law is always knocking on the door like this. Otherwise, she’ll easily forget what her surname is.”

Qi Yuan looked up and saw Cui Jie talking to a woman at the door. Both of them were smiling at each other from time to time. It was hard to tell that Cui Jie had been wronged by his aunt.

This stepmother-in-law was also someone to be reckoned with. To be able to adjust her attitude so well in such a short period of time and to be able to chat and laugh with others, they had to be careful of each other in the future.

Time to go to the hotel for the wedding.

The two bridesmaids helped Qi Cheng carry his makeup bag, his handbag, and the arched flower basket placed in front of the hotel. Wu Yuzheng stood in front of the door with Qi Cheng to welcome the guests, since they were all relatives today, with the guests from his maternal grandma’s house sitting as the chairman. There were also some of Wu Yuzheng’s old relatives, and the higher Wu Guangyuan’s position was, the more relatives there would be.

There was a signature booth for today’s banquet, but no account office. Wu Yuzheng had discussed this with Wu Guangyuan a long time ago, so in order not to get caught by the political enemies, they didn’t need to take any money. When the time came, everyone could just come and join in the fun.

Grandmother had arrived a few days ago, but she did not follow him to F City. Instead, she came with her older cousin, Zhao Hui Sheng, and her cousin, Zhao Jing Sheng and Song Jin, to take a seat at the Qi Village.

Zhao Jingsheng went to work at the Agricultural Research Institute in Beijing last year after graduating. He heard that he had a girlfriend. Zhao Hui had gotten married and had no children, but he did not have a clear goal, the famous King of Diamonds, Ol ‘Five.

The wedding ceremony was grand and simple. A director of the Municipal Committee acted as the host. After a few simple words, under the witness of the guests, he exchanged rings with Wu Yuzheng. The supporting party then announced the start of the banquet.

Among the twenty or so tables of guests, Wu Yuzheng was toasting with the other tables. When the feast was almost over and the toasts were done, the two of them went to the entrance to see the guests off.

When most of the guests had left, Qi Zhengyuan rubbed his calves as he ate with Wu Yuzheng in the lounge.

He was too hungry already, so he ate a few bites and saw his cousin Zhao Hui Sheng and Song Jin coming over.

Qi Xiang quickly went up to Wu Yuzheng, and Zhao Hui Sheng whispered to him, “You guys said that you wouldn’t accept the gift fee, but I saw a few people giving something to your mother-in-law. You guys have to be careful.”

Wu Yuzheng’s heart tightened when he heard this. This was something that Cui Jie could do.

Zhao Hui Sheng looked at Qi Zheng and Wu Yuzheng, saying: “When I went to the washroom, I saw your mother-in-law standing at the corner with a person. One of them gave your mother-in-law a brown paper bag saying your family’s child is married.”

Wu Yuzheng’s face was ashen as he tried his best to suppress his emotions. Zhao Hui Sheng continued, “You two don’t have to worry, there are many things like this. Luckily I saw it today, let’s first see if we can come up with a way to resolve this matter.”

Wu Yuzheng gritted his teeth and said: “It must have been done by someone with surname Zhou. Now the money is in Cui Jie’s hands, even if he takes it out again, it won’t help.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll call my dad and tell him about this and see if he has any ideas,” said Zhao.

Qi Zhengyuan also felt cold in his heart. It was taboo for an official to accept money like this. He did not know what Cui Jie was thinking. Why did she dare to accept money?

Zhao Hui Sheng put down the phone and said, “My dad gave me a phone number. He said it’s from one of your provincial Qing Ji Association people, and told us to quickly send some money to the Hope Project and get a receipt. This matter should still have room for discussion. If there’s anything else, hurry up and delete the video of your Auntie Cui receiving the money. ”

Wu Yuzheng quickly made a few calls and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the hotel’s surveillance. I’ve asked, but no one has seen the surveillance room.”

Zhao Hui nodded and said, “They probably feel that they can make this matter a reality once the money is sent over.”

Wu Yuzheng said, “Big sister Hui Sheng, how much money do you think I should donate?”

“I wonder how much money your Auntie Cui has received,” said Zhao Huisheng.

Qi Xiang said, “Forget about how much money we have. Let’s transfer all the money we have into the Hope Project’s account. Just treat it as our donation.”

“How much can you pay now?” said Zhao Huisheng.

After calculating his own money, his mother gave him a bank card before getting married. There were at least 2 million yuan in the card. In addition to the passbook that Wu Yuzheng gave him, there should be around 5 million yuan.

After he told them the numbers, Zhao Huisheng was stunned for a moment and then said, “So, both of you came with this money on the right path?”

Qi Xiang said, “All of them have proof that they came on the right path.”

“Then that’s good,” said Zhao Huisheng. “Your father-in-law just got on the stage not long ago and has a lot of eyes. If you guys collect money in private, you’ll destroy your father-in-law.”

Qi Xiang said, “Big sister Hui Sheng, you can rest assured. No problem, let’s go save the money and get the receipt first.”

Under the remote command of Zhao Huisheng’s father, Qi Xiang’s uncle, this task went very smoothly. At around 4 PM, he retrieved the fax with the receipt.

Wu Yuzheng poured a pot of tea for Zhao Hui Sheng and Song Jin. Seeing Qi Cheng’s tired look, Zhao Hui Sheng said: “Hey, don’t be anxious. There are a lot of things like this in the government. As long as we are careful and not greedy, we don’t have a problem.”

“I know, I’m just a little tired,” he said.

Wu Yuzheng poured some tea into their teacups and said: “Sister Hui Sheng, do you still need us to do anything?”

“We don’t need to do anything anymore,” said Zhao Hui Sheng. “Let’s just wait here for now. I estimate that at the latest tomorrow, someone will come to find your father.”

Wu Yuzheng said, “Then I’ll call my dad and tell him about it. If there’s anything he can do, he’ll be able to deal with it.”

“Okay, when you talk to him, remind him that he must explain the importance of this matter to Cui Jie,” said Zhao.

Wu Yuzheng nodded and dialed the number. Only after a long time did Wu Guangyuan pick up the phone.

Wu Guangyuan’s voice carried a hint of sadness as he said to Wu Yuzheng: “Little Zheng, tonight’s banquet will be a feast for you and Qi Zhengyuan. Dad has some matters to attend to so he can’t go.”

Wu Yuzheng told the whole story. After listening to it, Wu Guangyuan found it hard to believe. After confirming the receipt again and again, he laughed out loud a few times and said: “This is great. Such a difficult situation has been solved by you guys.”

Wu Yuzheng said: “Dad, it was Qi Yuan’s uncle who gave us the idea. After this matter is over, we still have to thank him properly.”

Wu Guangyuan said, “Of course, of course. We’ll continue with the dinner as usual, and we won’t accept any gift money. I want to see how they’ll deal with this situation.”

Wu Yuzheng put down the phone and said: “I think someone has already started the investigation. Huisheng jie, it’s all thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t even know how this would have ended.”

“We are relatives,” said Zhao Huisheng. “We know your father’s character, and these are all underhanded methods. We will help you out with the dinner.”

During the dinner banquet, some of his colleagues were invited. As well as some of Wu Guangyuan’s colleagues and Wu Yuzheng’s colleagues, the scene could not be any less interesting.

Song Jin said, “Let’s take a quick break. It’s tiring for me to wear those high-heeled shoes, so don’t worry about it. We’re here.”

Qi Xiang said, “It’s fine. Such a small matter can scare me. Back then, I even dared to destroy second brother Zhang’s reputation.”

Zhao Jingsheng smiled and said, “It’s true. You mustn’t show it on the surface. Second brother Zhang is still talking about it. Second brother Zhang says our family’s children are not afraid of trouble.”

Qi Xiang said, “If you’re afraid of it, then you’ll be suppressed by it. It’s better not to be afraid. In any case, you won’t be able to solve the problem even if you’re afraid.”

Zhao Huisheng smiled and said, “Alright, let’s prepare to go. I do want to see who’s causing all these trouble.” There was a domineering tone to his words, a domineering air that seeped into his bones. He was not afraid of anyone, nor was he afraid of anything.
