Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Remarriage 7
"Why do we need him to arrange our wedding banquet?" He Teng retorted, but he wasn’t surprised considering Lin Chan’s protective nature toward He Zhilan. Besides, with wedding preparations, He Teng really couldn’t spare the time to handle it himself.
The date that Father He last checked was in mid-November, just a month apart. After setting the date, He Zhilan made a call to Lin Chan, and He Teng also called the military in advance to let them know, to avoid being assigned a mission at that time.
After setting the date, the next topic of discussion was the guest list for the banquet in the capital.
"Aunt and Uncle’s family must be invited!" He Zhilan said. "If Liang Jing’s grandparents are free and willing to come, they should join too. By the way, it would be a good opportunity for the two elders to tour the capital."
He Zhilan genuinely respected Liang Jing’s grandparents. Nowadays, it’s rare to find such good people who never looked down on the He Family for being poor or despised their daughter-in-law for coming from a moneyless family. In earlier years, the Liang Family often lent money to the He Family without uttering a word. Whenever the He children visited, the elderly couple would bring out whatever good food they had and let the children eat their fill.
In the countryside, the two elders of the Liang Family were truly unique. Often, reality can be cruel. Many women, after getting married, are bullied and looked down upon because of their poor family backgrounds. And many people despise poor in-laws, mocking and ridiculing them to no end, as if they’d rather hang a sign saying "Poor Relatives and Dogs Not Allowed" at their door.
"I think it’s a good idea! There is plenty to enjoy in the capital, and with more people, it’ll be livelier. We elders can have fun on our own and won’t hinder you young people from working," Father He was pleased with He Zhilan’s planning. Although he was younger than Liang Jing’s grandparents, he got along well with the two elders. Moreover, Father He’s parents had passed away early, and since He Hongmei married into the Liang Family, they had helped his family a lot. Thus, Father He was very filial toward the two elders.
"What about the Second Uncle’s family?" He Da didn’t have any objections regarding the Liang Family, but there was a key issue. "Should we invite the entire Second Uncle’s family to the capital? Second Uncle himself is great, but it’s our Second Aunt."
The mention of the Second Aunt silenced the room.
The He Family was famously good-natured, except for the Second Aunt.
Originally, the He parents died young, leaving He Zhongguo and his brother He Zhongjun to raise their sister He Hongmei. They supported her education, and both brothers eventually married. He Zhongguo’s wife had no complaints about supporting his sister’s education, but He Zhongjun’s wife, the Second Aunt, had serious issues with it. She constantly made a fuss about why they needed to support the education of her husband’s sister when the family had no money.
Later, truly due to a lack of funds and now with children of their own, the Second Aunt became even more troublesome. As a result, He Hongmei got married to the Liang Family during her second year of university.
The dowry provided by the Liang Family was insisted by the two brothers to be halved for He Hongmei as her wedding gift, with the other half used to pay off family debts. This led to another outburst from the Second Aunt, who viciously berated He Hongmei in the village, calling her a "money-losing good-for-nothing" for taking so much dowry after costing her brother and sister-in-law so much for her education, as if she meant to starve them to death.
