Chapter 1308: This Time, Xiao Laoyezi Gave the Order for Them to Act Low-Key
Fu Mu knew they had matters to attend to shortly, so she kept her words brief: "They said they will set up two tables at the farm first, inviting the educated youths who have a good relationship with the two of them for a meal. Afterwards, when taking leave to return to the city, they will set up two or three tables to gather with family relatives."
Remembering something, Fu Mu spoke again: "Ren Jiangfeng asked his aunt's side; it seems he won't be back before the New Year. He said his aunt's daughter-in-law is due in two months. The round trip takes too long, and mainly, his cousin is also a soldier and is rarely home. His aunt fears that if something happens, she won't be able to explain it to her son."
Fu Yan Cheng nodded and said, "This is only human nature; I can understand."
Fu Mu sighed lightly and said, "It's just that Ren Jiangfeng's adoptive parents... I don't know whether we should invite them or not."
Fu Yan Cheng spoke up: "Let Ren Jiangfeng decide these matters himself; we need not interfere on our side."
Fu Mu glared at her youngest son: "Do you think I want to manage this? I'm just afraid they will deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Wan, making the happy day unpleasant."
Liu Chuxue thought for a moment: "Then why not let Ren Jiangfeng invite their whole family to a meal a day in advance? Even if there is any unhappiness, it won't become known throughout the city."
Hearing these words, Fu Mu became much more alert: "Don't say that; inviting them in advance makes sense too. It saves us from the relatives and friends laughing at us if a scene breaks out. Yes, yes, yes, your idea is good. And since it's an advance invitation, even if they want to cause trouble, they won't have a reason."
Fu Fu also nodded and said, "Regardless, the Ren family raised him. Although his aunt has called clan members to settle the matter, the face-saving gesture must still be made. But ultimately, this matter depends on Ren Jiangfeng's own wishes; we should not interfere too much."
Fu Mu nodded: "I know. I'm just afraid that family will cause trouble for Xiao Wan."
Liu Chuxue patted her mother-in-law's hand: "Xiao Wan has us. Even if the Ren family has ideas, they dare not. Mom, just rest assured."
Hearing her words, Fu Mu also smiled: "When one cares, one gets confused. I was overthinking it."
Remembering something, she quickly added: "Earlier, your eldest sister-in-law said you discussed each family buying one large item for Xiao Wan. Don't worry about that; when the engagement was fixed, Ren Jiangfeng's aunt had already prepared it. You just follow your own hearts."
Fu Yan Cheng nodded and said, "My eldest brother told me."
Liu Chuxue thought that after all, this was her own younger sister-in-law, and their relationship had always been close. As for Duan Ruirui, this friend and cousin's wife, Liu Chuxue would give a woolen coat as a gift, so naturally, she would give her own younger sister-in-law something even better.
Because they had to catch the train, the two of them did not stay long.
When they arrived at Xiao's house, everything was already prepared.
Regarding the village's banquet today, Xiao Laoyezi had made arrangements in advance, so their group traveled light. Except for the diapers and change of clothes for the two little ones in Xiao Fu's basket, they only brought pastries from the capital city for the Secretary's family and a bag of fruit candies prepared as a gift.
Seeing Xiao Mu's expression, Liu Chuxue actually wanted to laugh.
She had said on her lips that she didn't want to trouble Fu Yan Cheng to borrow a car, but when it actually came time for him to carry their son to catch the bus, she probably felt a bit unbalanced in her heart.
Unfortunately, this time Xiao Laoyezi had given the order for them to act low-key.
They set off early enough that when they arrived at the station, only a few people were seated on the bus. Fu Yan Cheng ran to buy the tickets himself. Seeing children outside the station carrying apricots and asking passing travelers if they wanted any, thinking of his pregnant wife, he even exchanged some with the children.
Liu Chuxue saw his pocket bulging: "What are you carrying in your pocket?"
