Chapter 151

"Dad, you've been way too good to me…"

The old father-in-law's mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't get a single word out.

Speaking of this matter, how should I explain it?

The groom covered his face as he shuffled over, nodding and bowing as he spoke.

"Dad, it really has to be you, old man!"

"Oh right, Dad, I'm already married now, and I'm a grown man myself."

"There are some things—shouldn't you be telling me about them now?"

The old father-in-law froze, asking in disbelief.

"What? You already know?"

The groom's eyes lit up, and he nodded hard.

"That's right! It's so obvious—could I really not have figured it out?"

"Even now, you still want to hide it from me?"

The old father-in-law let out a long sigh, sinking deep into his memories.

"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you."

"Yes, your guess is right."

"Actually… you… you were something I picked up!"

"It was a night with a bright moon and few stars, and your mother and I were in the cornfield…"

"I knew it!" The groom leaped up in delight, then his face changed drastically.

"Dad, what did you say? That you picked me up?"

The old father-in-law's face was full of confusion.

"That's right—hadn't you already guessed it?"

Crickets chirped… the two of them looked at each other, and immediately fell into an awkward silence.

After a long while, the old father-in-law finally spoke up weakly.

"You… you just said you guessed what?"

The groom was still in a daze, and replied instinctively.

"What I guessed was… our family is actually really rich, and I'm actually a rich second generation."

"Dad, you were just tempering me, putting on a poor front…"

Huh? The old father-in-law was instantly dumbfounded.

"You… how could you possibly have such an idea?"

The groom pointed at the suona band.

"If our family didn't have money… how could we hire so many suona bands?"

The old father-in-law fell silent too.

After a long while, he finally said in a daze.

"You may not believe it when I say it."

"I only hired one band. The rest… all came uninvited…"

"And the key thing is… they don't even want money. They even brought their own dry rations and water, and even damn brought their own tables, chairs, and benches!"

"I was just thinking about going to ask your grandfather…"

"Maybe… I'm also a rich second generation? And your grandfather hid it from me for fifty years?"

……

At the same time, every household within ten or eight li nearby that was holding a wedding or funeral fell into deep thought.

Why is this wedding/funeral being held so coldly and quietly?

Why does it always feel like something's missing?

Oh… I remember now… where's the suona band?

Where's my big chunk of suona band?

You people are holding an event, and you damn didn't even hire a suona band?

How the hell can that even be called holding an event?

But the problem is… it seems like every suona band within ten or eight li has damn stopped taking jobs!

They say they're going… to welcome some Master?!

Damn! Chuan.
