Chapter 489 Father and Son Dispute
Chapter 489 Father and Son Dispute
The eighth day of the first lunar month is the wedding day of Li Wan and Gu Xinsheng.
The Li family held the wedding banquet in the private restaurant of Li Huan's uncle Shang Yuxuan. On that day, the alley where the private restaurant was located, which was usually not very busy, became extremely lively. A large "囍" character was posted outside the door of the private restaurant, and the crackling sound of firecrackers attracted the surrounding residents to come and watch the fun out of curiosity. When they learned that it was a wedding banquet, many people smiled and said auspicious words to ask for wedding candy, as a way to get some blessings from the bride and groom.
The Li family was also generous and scattered a lot of wedding candies at the gate. For a moment, everyone was smiling and kept saying blessings. Not long after, Gu Xinsheng took Li Wan to the private restaurant.
"Oh, the bride is so beautiful, and the groom looks so energetic." When the people around saw them, they all said with a smile.
Because Su Qing helps the family take care of themselves secretly, even though Li Wan and Gu Xinsheng are almost forty years old, they both look very young. In addition, with Li Wan putting on makeup, at first glance she still looks like she is in her twenties.
Li Wan shyly followed Gu Xinsheng into the private restaurant amidst everyone's blessings. Li Huan whispered to Su Qing, "My aunt looks so beautiful today."
Su Qing smiled and said, "That's right, my mother is the most beautiful."
Outside the crowd, Zhao Weiming looked at Li Wan who walked into the private restaurant with a bit of disappointment, and sighed softly in his heart. He had been on blind dates in the past few years, but had never found anyone he liked, so he had been single. He didn't expect that after finally falling in love with someone, the relationship ended before he had the chance to confess his feelings.
It was only after listening to his colleagues' words last time that Zhao Weiming learned that Li Wan's identity was so interesting. Because he knew Li Wan's identity, Zhao Weiming didn't dare to confess his feelings easily and was still a little hesitant. However, today he never dreamed that he would see Li Wan in the alley near his home, and Li Wan was getting married today!
Looking at the bustling private restaurant, the people coming in and out of the restaurant, and the grand wedding banquet, Zhao Weiming truly felt the gap between himself and Li Wan. He felt a little sad, looked outside the crowd, and then turned around and walked home.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Weiming saw his son busy hiding something in the house, so he hurried forward and said, "Xiaofeng, what are you hiding?"
"Dad, you, you're back, you didn't hide anything." Zhao Lianfeng closed the door of his room and said to Zhao Weiming with a smile.
Zhao Weiming frowned. He was already in a bad mood because he saw Li Wan getting married today, and he felt even worse because of his son's perfunctory words. He pushed Zhao Lianfeng aside and opened his door directly. He saw several bundles piled on the floor at the door. He opened them and saw that they were full of hair flowers, hairpins, cassettes and other things, and there were quite a lot of them.
"Hey, Dad, what are you doing? Why did you just come into my room?" Zhao Lianfeng said unhappily when he failed to stop Zhao Weiming.
Zhao Weiming frowned and looked at Zhao Lianfeng: "Where did these things come from?"
Zhao Lianfeng pouted and said nothing.
Zhao Weiming asked, "You told me a year ago that a friend of yours needed money for an emergency and wanted to borrow 150 yuan. You were lying to me, right? Did you buy these things with that money?"
When what he did was discovered, Zhao Lianfeng simply admitted it: "Yes, I pooled some money with my friends and bought some small things from the south to do some small business to make some money. When I make money, I will return the capital to you, right?"
"You are so young, but you still don't learn your lesson and you even lie to others!" Zhao Weiming said angrily.
Zhao Lianfeng was also angry: "It's because you didn't agree before. If you had agreed, would I have lied to you? Besides, I'm not doing anything sneaky. There are so many people doing business out there, why don't you agree? I don't have a job now, and it's not wrong for me to make some money. I'm already 20 years old, and I can't always rely on you to support me. It's so embarrassing to tell others."
"Then you can't resell things. What if something happens? Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago?" Zhao Weiming scolded in a low voice.
"Dad, you can do business now. Look at how many people are doing business on the streets. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. But you are afraid of everything. You won't make any money if you are afraid of this and that." Zhao Lianfeng said unconvinced.
"Why don't you understand? It seems that we can do business now, but what if we can't do it again? What if something happens? You are the only one in our Zhao family. What should we do if something happens?" Zhao Weiming said angrily.
"Dad, today is only the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Can you please not get into any trouble? Please think of me a little." Zhao Lianfeng didn't want to hear it and his voice suddenly became louder.
"Keep your voice down." Zhao Weiming was afraid that these things would bring trouble to the family, so he said, "I don't care what happens. You return these things and take back the money. We are just the two of us in our family. My salary is enough for us to eat and drink. You don't need to take risks. You can go around the factories and find a temporary job. Don't do these messy businesses."
Zhao Weiming is relatively conservative and is afraid that Zhao Lianfeng will do business. If the wind suddenly changes and things go back to the way they were a few years ago, it will be troublesome if something happens later.
The experiences of previous years made Zhao Weiming feel that it was safest to work quietly. As for doing business, it was simply a risk.
"It's not that easy to find a job." Zhao Lianfeng said, "It's not like I haven't looked for one before. If I could find one, would I still want to resell these little gadgets?"
"Anyway, I don't care. You have to return these things to me and don't touch them." Zhao Weiming frowned.
"I can't return it." Zhao Lianfeng stiffened his neck and said, "I've already bought it, and it's from the south, how can I return it? Anyway, I don't care. I've already bought the things. I'll do business even if you don't want me to. I'm already twenty years old. How can I rely on you to support me?"
"You, you are so stubborn." Zhao Weiming said angrily, "If your mother were still alive, she would definitely not let you do this. If something happens later, you will make your mother feel uneasy in the underworld, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lianfeng pursed his lips and remained silent, but he was obviously unwilling to give in.
For a moment, the father and son were deadlocked, and neither could convince the other.
After a stalemate, Zhao Lianfeng said, "If anything goes wrong, I will bear the consequences myself and will never let you down."
Afterwards, Zhao Lianfeng returned to his room and slammed the door.
"you!"
Zhao Weiming was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just throw all those things away. They were all bought with money. One hundred and fifty yuan was several months' salary for him!
