Chapter 257 257【Give Xiaomeng to you, I'm at ease】
Qi Santai scowled and ignored Xie Guangkun at all.
To be honest, he doesn't like Xie Guangkun very much.
However, because there is some kind of relative relationship. In addition, every time Xie Guangkun saw him, he always brought gifts, such as mountain goods and local chickens. The so-called people who stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces are just like him.
But seeing him being so foolish today, determined to go his own way, and being so unreasonable, he became angry.
"Third wife, third wife..." Xie Guangkun was so frightened that he almost cried.
If he was really arrested and arrested, he would never be able to stand upright in his life.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, there are so many folks present, but no one is willing to say a word for him.
Come to think of it, Xie Guangkun's handling of this matter is indeed unreasonable. There is indeed a gap between Yongqiang and Xiaomeng, but as long as they are willing in their hearts. It's too much for an old man to interfere so much.
Secondly, he offended the mayor, the biggest official in Songshan Town. In the eyes of ordinary people, he poked a hole in the sky. After getting into such a big disaster, who would dare to intercede for him?
"What's the matter, what's the matter..." At this moment, a crying person squeezed in from the crowd. It was Zhao Jinfeng, Yongqiang's mother.
This morning, she originally wanted to come to attend her son's engagement ceremony. However, Xie Guangkun refused to let her go and locked her at home.
She took advantage of Xie Guangkun's departure and broke the door lock with a hammer to escape.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived here, I saw the old man was arrested. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and she didn't even bother to stop the bicycle, so she squeezed in in a hurry.
"Old man, what's the matter with you, why are you arresting him?" She ran to the defense officer and asked anxiously, then looked at Qi Santai, crying and begging, "San Tai, San Tai, you Spare him, spare him. I beg you, I beg you."
"Cousin, don't cry, don't cry." Qi Santai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Whether you want to spare him or not, I don't care. It depends on Guangkun's performance."
"Mayor, Guangkun did the wrong thing because he was confused for a while. As long as he promises not to do it again, you should do it high." Accountant Xu stepped forward and said.
"Guangkun, just take a step back." He then said to Xie Guangkun.
"Father, stop making trouble." Xie Lan and Pi Changshan also stepped forward to persuade.
Xie Guangkun let out a long sigh, and nodded depressedly.
Now that things have happened, he has no other choice but to bow his head.
If he is really arrested, his reputation will be ruined. People will poke his spine, making him unable to lift his head for the rest of his life.
And after he was detained, he couldn't make trouble anymore, and his son and Xiao Meng would still be engaged.
It means that he suffered the crime in vain, bore the charge in vain, but did useless work. That being the case, it might as well take a step back.
"Director, he has admitted his mistakes, what do you think should be done?" Qi Santai then said to the director.
"Since the person involved has admitted his mistake and the damage caused is still controllable, then give me a warning." The director nodded, "If you commit the crime again, you will be punished heavily next time."
"Yes, yes." Xie Guangkun promised, he was really ashamed today.
…
The director immediately took the people away.
Xiang Nan just came over, "Father, mother, cousin, since you are all here, let's go in and have a drink."
He heard that Yongqiang is now promising, wrote a book and sold 300,000 RMB. This is probably the first time in the history of Songshan Town.
He is so capable, and he will write an article in the future to introduce his hometown well, maybe Songshan Town will become famous because of it.
Just like Sun Li for Baiyangdian, Mo Yan for Gaomi, Shen Congwen for border towns, Lu Yao for northern Shaanxi... A well-known writer is still very effective in boosting the reputation of the place.
Xie Guangkun didn't want to go at first, but in front of Mrs. Qi, he dared not say no. He was afraid that Mrs. Qi would turn his back on her again and arrest him again.
While hesitating, Xie Lan and Pi Changshan had already grabbed his arms and dragged him, finally inviting him in.
"Guangkun, just sit down. Let the child be the master of the child's affairs, and you don't want to meddle in it." Qi Santai persuaded, "Yongqiang is so capable now, you and him have a good relationship. , can he not be filial to you? However, if you mess up the relationship, the father and son will easily become enemies. At that time, what good will you have? "
"Okay, Mrs. Third, it's all about your face." Xie Guangkun nodded with a dark face.
…
After everyone was seated, Xiang Nan immediately told Wu Di, "Get ready for the banquet."
Before the banquet, there is also a wedding ceremony.
Actually, there is no definite process for getting married in the countryside.
The man and the woman meet each other, give an engagement gift, and treat relatives and friends to a meal, that's about it.
However, when the villagers saw the engagement gift presented by Xiang Nan, they were all surprised.
Seeing that Xiang Nan's gift is quite expensive. Two boxes of Maotai liquor, two boxes of Zhonghua Tobacco, two chickens, ducks and geese, two hundred catties of pork, a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold necklaces, a pair of gold earrings, a pair of gold rings, a pair of lovers’ watches...these are the gifts Add it all together, at least thirty to forty thousand yuan.
It can be said that since the establishment of Ivory Mountain Village, no one has given such a heavy engagement ceremony.
"Oh, how much does it cost~"
"Oh, such a big gold bracelet, such a long gold chain... Tsk, tsk, Yongqiang is really willing to spend money."
"Seventh brother, you are so lucky to have such a rich son-in-law."
"Xiao Meng, I really envy you. Yongqiang really loves you, and is willing to give such a heavy gift."
The guests all praised, and Wang Laoqi also felt very honored.
Originally, Xie Guangkun made such a fuss just now, which made him feel ashamed. If it weren't for the fact that Yongqiang was okay, he would have turned his face and left on the spot.
But seeing Xiang Nan send such a generous gift now, it made him show his face in front of the villagers. Moreover, Xie Guangkun also bowed his head, and the mayor Qi Santai also participated, and his face was restored, so he was no longer angry.
"Hey, Yongqiang, we are all from our own family, why are you giving such a heavy gift?" He blushed, embarrassed.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I will let everyone, I like Xiaomeng, I love Xiaomeng, and I want to give her everything I have." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Ouch~"
Hearing what he said, all the folks present felt a little nervous. But young people like Zhao Yutian, Liu Yinger, and Xie Xiaomei all followed suit.
Xiao Meng blushed with shame, and stayed there.
"Okay, child, with your words, I can rest assured that Xiaomeng will be handed over to you." Wang Laoqi nodded.
Xie Guangkun regretted seeing his son send such a generous gift. If he had known this earlier, he should have participated in this matter, so as not to let Yongqiang do whatever he wanted.
"Oh, how much does this cost?" He said painfully.
