Chapter 637: Chapter 637: This Red Packet is Not Taken for Granted (Monthly Ticket 600+ Updates)

Though Suizi assumed he wouldn’t write anything pleasant, she was curious to see what sort of punchline he would deliver.

Yu Jingting cleared his throat and said in a melodramatic tone:

"The Fan Family elder is our matchmaker, facilitating a wonderful union. Best wishes from Jingting and his wife."

Suizi’s mouth twitched, and Fan Huang rubbed his temples, wanting to laugh but trying hard to suppress it due to his status.

"Cough, he’s an elder after all, please don’t be so blunt."

"Then I’ll change it to something more respectful—What about changing "Fan’s old lady" to "Fan’s noble lady"? Dad, I’m being very polite here, I refrained from writing "Black Mountain witch", that’s showing respect. Have you heard the story of the Black Mountain witch? Suizi told me—"

Once someone is set in a role, it’s hard to extract them from it. Fan Huang never imagined his mother resembling the Black Mountain witch, but after Yu Tiegen’s words, upon reflection, his mom did resemble her a bit.

"Just how eager must she have been to see you and my mom together that she came over specifically to act as a catalyst. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t send her a banner of appreciation."

Without Fan’s mother’s leaps and bounds, Chen Lijun might still be tormenting Fan Huang.

With all her fuss, she slapped Fan Huang’s genuine feelings into him, directly facilitating a good match. As such, it wasn’t an exaggeration for Yu Jingting to send her a banner of appreciation.

Fearing that Chen Lijun might change her mind, Fan Huang rushed to the civil affairs bureau with his arm in a cast.

The wedding banquet wasn’t of primary concern, getting the certificate first was, to ensure she couldn’t run away.

Upon reaching the civil affairs bureau, Yu Jingting and Suizi also followed in their finest attire, intending to take a photo for their parents. But as soon as they arrived, Yu Jingting couldn’t help making remarks again.

"Dad, are you here voluntarily? Or did this lady tie you up and bring you here? Look at your arm, she even dislocated it....."

Upon hearing this, the staff were as nervous as if facing a formidable foe, looking warily at Chen Lijun and then at Fan Huang with his arm in plaster, their eyes full of sympathy for the vulnerable.

"Stop messing around!" Fan Huang grabbed the application form with his remaining hand, pen at the ready, hastily writing his name.

Yu Jingting seized the chance to snap a quick photo, successfully capturing the moment~

"I’ve already thought of a name for when this photo is developed, I’ll call it "The Anxious Old Man," how about that?"

Fan Huang’s last stroke swerved due to his remark, which amused Chen Lijun greatly.

"Old man, if you’re not willing, shall we reconsider?"

"Hurry up and stamp it." Fan Huang hurried the staff, fearing that his wife would run away if they delayed.

Obtaining the red plastic booklet, Fan Huang breathed a sigh of relief. He repeatedly examined it. The inner pages of the marriage certificate had exquisitely drawn illustrations, showing two magpies perched on a plum tree, exuding an atmosphere of joy.

"Congratulations! Please remember our hongbao!" Yu Jingting and Suizi both reached out their hands together, which Fan Huang responded to by landing a kick on Yu Jingting’s butt.

"You have the cheek to ask for a hongbao! Good-for-nothing rascal!"

In the Yu Family, the standard for defining one’s closeness was whether you could treat Yu Tiegen, who is at the bottom of food chain, in a rough manner. Fan Huang’s kick just brought them closer.

Suizi distributed Congratulatory candy bought temporarily to the staff from her pocket, allowing everyone to share in the joy.

Fan Huang was indeed delighted. On the way back, he wore a smile on his face, probably laughing more today than in his entire previous life.

Suizi received a thick hongbao and spoke a long string of auspicious words, making Fan Huang beam with laughter.

After they returned home, both sets of boy and girl twins also received two big hongbao. Although they were taken away by Suizi after being held for a while, the grown-ups’ joy still infected the kids. The two little ones were also very happy, each calling out "grandpa" in incredibly sweet voices.

"Let’s dine out tonight, I’ll have my secretary book a place." Fan Huang said.

"The fancy restaurants are quite far from here, and the ones nearby don’t taste good. We can eat at home. Let our unruly girl cook some food. This girl has swindled so much money from us, it’s about time for her to show some filial piety."

Chen Lijun didn’t really want to fuss over it.

His face was already well-known in their circle. Going out inevitably meant people would approach him to flatter and toast, and he didn’t want to spoil their mood.

"Look at mom’s insight—spot on, truly spot on!" Yu Jingting gave a thumbs-up, "Is this because she’s afraid dad will drink too much and mess up the wedding night?"

"What nonsense!" Chen Lijun flushed, this son of hers would say anything. She hadn’t let him off lightly enough.

"Mom, give me a red envelope, I’ll just take half of what Suizi got. You give me the money, and I’ll hand over your man. I promise I won’t get dad drunk tonight! I won’t delay your good time."

"What a misfortune..." Wang Cuihua couldn’t stand the sight, nudging her husband, "Kick him out, we don’t need him in our house."

Yu Shuisheng really got up, grabbed his son to push him out, while pulling out a large banknote from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"Buy some good food to bring back, pick the best, whatever is left is yours."

"You think you’re dispatching a beggar?"

Yu Shuisheng threw another note on the ground—minor hurt but great insult. Served the youngster right for his loose tongue, daring to crack jokes about his father and mother, and even his in-laws.

Yu Jingting squatted down in a sullen manner to pick up the money, then, on looking up, he spotted a huge red envelope—Fan Huang had appeared.

"Thanks, dad~! Rest assured, I won’t spike your drinks. How about adding a bit more funds, so I can buy you some deer blood wine to guarantee your vitality tonight—"

"Get lost!" Yu Shuisheng sent a flying kick his way. Yu Jingting smoothly leaped to avoid it, clutching his extorted money, laughing brighter than a flower.

"I’ll go with Jingting." Suizi emerged from the house; she wanted to handpick some quality ingredients.

The young couple rode away on their bicycle. Yu Shuisheng and Fan Huang stood in the courtyard watching them, their image evoking their own youthful days.

The Market was bustling. Suizi bought some meat and ribs and selected some seasonal vegetables. Passing through the Aquatic Product Area, Suizi pointed to the water tank and cheerfully said:

"Look quick, it’s you!"

Yu Jingting looked down, frowning.

In the shallow water tank, several large sea crabs were blowing bubbles from their mouths, their large claws waving about arrogantly, much like the domineering Yu Jingting.

"We’re not buying!"

"Let’s buy it, I can cook it, I promise it will be delicious."

Suizi asked the price and was unexpectedly cheap. People here seemed to favor river crabs more, so sea crabs were not in much demand, and thus affordable.

Suizi bought all the sea crabs at the stall. She cooked steamed sea crabs and seafood porridge that night, and the whole family couldn’t get enough.

Chen Lijun was puzzled. How did Suizi, who had grown up in Dongbei, handle seafood even better than herself?

For Suizi, that was a melancholic tale. However, it didn’t matter. The culinary skills honed out of loneliness then had now become a source of joy.

With the rising of the full moon, they set up a table in the courtyard, enjoying Suizi’s delicacies. As they neared the end of their meal, Yu Jingting squinted his eyes.

Outside the courtyard, a figure was rushing in. Yu Jingting nudged Suizi, gestured at their newly wed in-laws, and pointed outside. Suizi understood immediately and stood up, taking an arm of each.

"Mom, Dad, have you finished eating? Let’s go, I have something interesting to show you inside the house."

"Uncle, Uncle, save me!" Fan Lili rushed in. Fan Huang turned to look, but Suizi dragged him into the house.

"You’ve got Jingting out there, you don’t need to worry about anything. Get out through the back door, don’t let an unworthy person waste your time."

He had earned that red envelope, after all, so he had to deal with this situation.
