Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1320: Discussion, Agreement

Jiang Ziyu looked at the woman in front of him and said, "It's just that we won't hold a wedding banquet here, only the wedding ceremony. When we return to my hometown, we will hold the banquet there. Is that okay with you?"

"It's fine. My family didn't plan to hold a wedding banquet for me anyway. We can do it in your hometown," Lin Meifeng replied with a smile.

Hearing her words, Jiang Ziyu frowned. No matter how badly a family treated their daughter, they would still hold a simple wedding banquet on her joyous day. It seemed her treatment at home was worse than he had thought.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "When do you think we should visit your family?"

This time, Lin Meifeng's smile disappeared as she said, "There's no need. My father already left my marriage matters to my uncle. My uncle will be our witness."

Jiang Ziyu was surprised by her words. He felt sorry for her and asked, "You and your parents—"

Before he could finish his question, Lin Meifeng interrupted him with a forceful smile, "It's okay, I'm not close with them."

After saying this, she saw pity and an unreadable emotion in his eyes. Feeling ashamed, she avoided his gaze and said, "You don't have to pity me. I'm used to it. I don't feel sad anymore."

Although she said this, Jiang Ziyu still reached out, holding her hands as he said, "Since that's the case, then we won't bother with them. From now on, you have me as your family. I will treat you well."

Feeling his broad palm covering hers, Lin Meifeng was stunned. She looked at their hands and felt shy as he gently rubbed her cold fingers.

She quickly pulled her hands away and said, "W-we should go back now."

After saying this, she hurried back to the house as if she were being chased by a ghost.

Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Ziyu chuckled and followed at a leisurely pace.

When everyone saw the two of them return, they looked at them with meaningful gazes. Aunt Lin noticed her niece's reddened cheeks and smiled so wide that her eyes turned into crescents, almost disappearing behind her plump cheeks.

She looked at Jiang Ziyu and nodded in satisfaction while saying, "Ziyu, have you two talked it out?"

Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows upon hearing the intimate address. Aunt Lin was indeed the best matchmaker in the brigade—so flexible and observant.

Jiang Ziyu sat down and replied with a smile, "Aunt Lin, we have talked it out. Meifeng agreed to my proposal and told me about her family's request."

When Uncle Lin heard this, he said, "If you feel that 50 yuan is too much, you can just give us half of it. My family will take care of the rest of the bride price."

"Uncle Lin, I agree to the bride price. Besides that, I will also prepare the betrothal gifts. Today, I only brought some small gifts for the two of you. I hope you won't dislike them," Jiang Ziyu replied with a smile.

Hearing his words, Uncle Lin nodded and said, "About the wedding and the wedding banquet—"

"Uncle, we won't hold a wedding banquet here. We will go back to Brother Jiang's hometown for that. As for the wedding ceremony, we will just do the tea ceremony and then get the certificate later in Brother Jiang's hometown," Lin Meifeng said.

Hearing this, Uncle Lin frowned and said, "How can that be done? At the very least, you need to have a proper wedding ceremony."

"Uncle, my father told me before I came here that he only wanted 50 yuan for my bride price. As for the wedding ceremony or banquet, those can be omitted," Lin Meifeng said casually, though they could hear a hint of sadness in her voice.

Uncle Lin grew angry and scolded, "My brother is getting more muddle-headed as he grows older."

Aunt Lin, seeing her husband breathing heavily, worried that he would get another headache. She quickly poured a cup of cold tea and said, "Old man, calm down. It would be bad if you got sick from anger."

Knowing he had high blood pressure, Uncle Lin drank the tea and tried to calm himself. But even after settling down, he still felt disappointed and angry at his brother.

After so many years, his brother still refused to change his biased attitude toward his children. To him, a daughter was just a tool to earn money for his sons.

Shaking his head, Uncle Lin looked at his niece and said, "Meifeng, since you don't want the ceremony, we will do as you say. Perhaps marrying far away is the best option for you."

Lin Meifeng smiled at her uncle and replied, "Uncle, don't worry about me. I will ask someone to help me write a letter and send it back to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu chimed in, "Meifeng, I can help you write your letter, or we can just make a call once a month."

Although she was surprised that Jiang Ziyu was literate, Lin Meifeng didn't show it on her face and simply said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Jiang."

The Lin family discussed the details with Jiang Ziyu and the Li family. Since Jiang Ziyu had to leave soon, they agreed to hold the proposal ceremony along with the tea ceremony the next day.

After the ceremony, they would officially be considered husband and wife, and Lin Meifeng would follow him to Yunnan City. As for her household registration and travel permits, Li Chenmo would have to use his connections in the brigade to speed up the process.

Two hours later, the discussion ended, and the guests finally left the Lin family home.

Afterward, Lin Meifeng went to her room to pack her luggage, while Uncle Lin went to inform the team leader and the village elders about her niece's marriage.

When the neighbors saw them leaving, they couldn't wait to rush over and ask Aunt Lin.
