A Veteran Had to Choose Between His Wedding and His Mother’s Surgery Fund

Lu Haifeng, a retired soldier, arrives to pick up his bride, Chen Nianyun, expecting an ordinary wedding-day ritual. At the door, her best friend Sun Jiaojiao suddenly demands an extra 28,000 yuan before he can enter, and Chen, swayed by her friend, sides with the demand. The money Lu is protecting is not spare wedding cash—it has been set aside for his mother’s stomach-tumor surgery. Faced with pressure to give in, he must decide what responsibility means when marriage, family, and money collide. The confrontation leaves the wedding hanging in the balance and forces Chen to reconsider what loyalty and partnership should really look like.
