The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 324: Not Too Bright

Huang Tianyu took Jiang Huilan’s hand, interlocking their fingers, and proudly said, "Just now Huilan agreed to my proposal. We’re going to register for marriage tomorrow. Brother-in-law will give you a big red envelope tomorrow."

"Really, congratulations Sister Huilan, brother-in-law..." Cheng Xue looked at the two with surprise, calling out ’brother-in-law’ even louder, full of sincerity.

Jiang Huilan’s face, already flushed with redness, turned even redder, but she did not deny it. "Alright, let’s go quickly, otherwise Uncle will urge us."

With that, she pulled Huang Tianyu and headed towards the venue.

Huang Tianyu followed her lead obediently, displaying the essence of a husband following his wife’s lead, listening to everything she says.

Cheng Xue and Wang Jia Bao exchanged smiles. On a good day like this, hearing more good news adds to the happiness, making everyone joyful.

The four of them arrived at the venue and began to toast table by table, naturally starting with the main table.

Mr. Jiang sat at the main seat. Originally seated on his left was Jiang Zhongyi, who had moved to the right, leaving the left for Mr. Zheng.

No matter how you see it, Mr. Zheng’s seniority deserved this spot, which was reasonable and fair.

Then it was Zheng Zhen, Cheng Hongbing, Wang Baoxing, Liu Yulan, Jiang Peng, Bai Li, and Jiang Tao in order.

Jiang Yan gave up his seat and moved to the next table to sit with his wife and kids, feeling quite content.

Originally Bai Li was supposed to yield her seat, but Jiang Yan stopped her, indicating he wanted to be with his wife and kids, so she stayed put.

Wang Miaomiao and Liang Meizhi were not at the main table as they had to tend to the kids; this table was the kids’ domain, buzzing with chatter and excitement.

However, even the main table was not enough. Indeed, it wasn’t her turn to be seated there.

Liang Meizhi’s little daughter Jiang Shanshan was just a few months older than the twins. She only comes back once or twice a year. Xiao Xuanxuan was very happy to see her sister of about the same age return, and the two sisters cozied up together, chatting and laughing, getting along very well.

Liang Meizhi looked at her two daughters, then at her brother-in-law’s row of sons, and not feeling envious, would be impossible. Especially with the new national policy, having more kids was not possible anymore.

In fact, many present also envied the three sons of the Jiang Family.

For Wang Miaomiao, she’s seen these envious looks many times and brushes it off as she focuses on taking care of the children’s eating and drinking.

While she cared for the kids, Jiang Yan sat beside her, caring for her.

Those watching couldn’t help but feel both envy and jealousy. Some people just have good fortune.

Then they compare to their husbands who only care about drinking and bragging, or kids stuffing themselves mindlessly. Alas... there’s just no comparison, better not compare, just makes one’s eyes sore and heart stuffed.

This side was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was perfect until an off-putting sound came from the table next door.

Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan exchanged glances, both showing helplessness and disdain on their faces. They smiled simultaneously, perfectly in sync, with shared thoughts and mutual understanding.

"Bai Li, get up and let your uncle sit. Can’t you tell this isn’t your seat?" Zheng Zhen, with an air of superiority, spoke to Bai Li about giving up her seat, her words grating.

Bai Li’s face turned white. It’s not about her seat; she’s willing to give it up, but her mother-in-law’s tone was excessive, making it extremely awkward for her...

What disqualifies her? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Mom, you’re joking. Sister-in-law is Xiao Xue’s direct aunt, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family. We younger siblings should respect her. What’s wrong with her sitting here?" Jiang Yan approached with a smile, looking at Zheng Jun, Zheng Long, and the people from the Ma Family who stood with wine glasses.

"Are you here to toast?" Though he had a smile, his eyes were cold, "Don’t you see the timing? The newlyweds haven’t even finished yet. What are you here for? Isn’t it a bit early..."

His words were blunt, almost criticizing the group for lacking sense and not understanding the rules.

Zheng Jun’s face was ugly, his hand holding the wine glass slightly trembling. His forced smile was uncomfortable to watch, a smile without warmth.

"Big nephew, after all, I’m your uncle."

"Yes, didn’t I just call you today? Didn’t you hear, or did you forget?" Jiang Yan smiled mockingly, casually saying, "If you weren’t my uncle, you wouldn’t have even gotten through this door."

"You..." Zheng Jun didn’t expect Jiang Yan to give him no face, and was at a loss for words.

But Jiang Yan was intentional, using this attitude to inform those watching the spectacle that the Jiang Family and the Zheng Family were not of the same ilk, irrespective of Mr. Zheng’s presence, it’s the same!

Today Mr. Zheng was here, and they couldn’t throw him out since, as a guest, he is their elder. Even if the two families are at odds, they still need to show some respect.

But Zheng Jun, thinking of causing trouble, wasn’t qualified. The Jiang Family wouldn’t give him this leeway.

Among today’s guests, many were associated with the Jiang Family’s network. Jiang Yan clarified his stance, letting them know how to treat the Zheng and Ma Families.

Birds of a feather flock together. The Zheng and Ma Families trying to make themselves known in this circle, and wanting access to Jiang Family resources, they needed approval from the Jiang Family.

Some understood clearly, while others insisted on being a drag.

Zheng Zhen was displeased as Jiang Yan opposed her words and rebuked her brother, "Ah Yan, how can you speak to your uncle like that, apologize now." She admonished Jiang Yan, her eyes full of ’you’re so out of line,’ seeing Jiang Yan looking back at her impassively.

Flustered, she added another line, "He’s your biological uncle, naturally he should be at the main table."

Then she glared harshly at Bai Li, for her lack of discernment, even after being told, she still wasn’t offering her seat, truly disregarding her as the mother-in-law.

"Enough, if you don’t want to be thrown out, stop talking. What kind of day is today, shouting like this, it’s improper."

Zheng Zhen tried using her seniority to suppress others, Jiang Yan had already rebuked her once. Saying more would mean he was disrespecting his elders.

At this moment, Jiang Zhongyi spoke up, and his words truly crushed Zheng Zhen’s face to the ground.

He had no desire to show any face to his brainless ex-wife, who was still a fool after all these years.

In recent years, after their divorce, whenever Zheng Zhen visited the Jiang Family to see the kids, she would often encounter him, both maintaining peaceful and polite interactions. Originally thought...

She didn’t expect it...

She assumed, but it was merely her assumption.

Perhaps she had too many smooth days and forgot the past...

One sentence shocked Zheng Zhen. Her face turned unsightly, eyes lowered slightly to conceal her embarrassment and discomfort.

Zheng Zhen settled down. And those who were supposed to leave, should leave...
