Chapter 131 More Than Just a Rich Wife

Seeing that she was obviously very hungry but pretending to be strong, Yu Yaoyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He led Rutang into the house without caring that there were still a few tables that had not been toasted.

The old Yu family’s house was repainted, and Yu Yaoyang and Rutang’s rooms were also hung with lace, and bright red double happiness patterns were pasted on the walls.

There was a quilt at the head of the kang, which was for the bride to sit on. Rutang had already sat on it before the wedding banquet began.

"You sit here and eat something." Yu Yaoyang took out a small basin from the cabinet like a magic trick.

It was filled with red bean wedding rice and covered with vegetables. The vegetables were a little cold, but still looked delicious.

"Ah? Is this appropriate?" Rutang swallowed and barely found a bit of rationality.

She had never heard that a bride could abandon her guests and eat alone in the room on her wedding day.

"What's inappropriate? Eat if you want. You eat in the room and I'll go out to toast." Yu Yaoyang settled her down, turned and walked out, walked a few steps, then turned back and kissed her on the forehead.

"Wife, you look so beautiful today."

Rutang was overjoyed by his praise and curled her eyes at him. Just as she was about to praise him for being handsome today, she heard him add in a teasing tone, "When no one is around in the evening, I'll take good care of you."

"..." Rutang held back the compliments she was about to give him.

Why does such a good boy have a colored mouth?

I sat on the quilt and ate my meal. My rumbling stomach was finally satisfied. The food was cold, but my heart was warm.

Rutang looked outside through the window and saw Yu Yaoyang explaining to the guests that a fortune teller had told her that the bride needed to sit for a while longer before everything would go smoothly at home.

The guests readily accepted this statement and did not think there was any problem with it at all.

The villagers believe in these things in the first place, and the fortune teller always gives some very strange advice, such as asking the bride to come home later, throwing the bride's veil on the eaves or on the roof, and so on.

Hao Mei felt it was a bit strange. She didn't know why the seer made such a strange request. She went into the house to take a look. When she pushed the door open, she saw her daughter chewing a roasted chicken leg.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and the scene was awkward for a moment.

"Oh, Yangzi is really..." Hao Mei laughed.

"Mom, you scared me. I thought someone else came in." Rutang swallowed the meat with difficulty. She was very concerned about her image in front of outsiders.

"Yangzi, why do you let me do what I want? If people see this, they will think our girl is so greedy. There are so many guests outside, but you just hide in the house and eat chicken legs. Eat slowly, don't choke."

Although Hao Mei complained about her daughter, she was still considerate enough to help her to ventilate. Seeing Rutang eating voraciously, Hao Mei felt strange.

"You don't usually like eating meat, why did you suddenly change your taste?"

She noticed that her daughter specifically picked out the meat dishes to eat, and she ate them with such relish that her little mouth was all greasy.

"Maybe getting married is too physically demanding, so I need to eat some meat to replenish my energy. Not to mention, the chef who prepared the wedding banquet for us has really good cooking skills."

Rutang praised the food highly.

Yu Yaoyang prepared the wedding banquet, and Rutang didn't have to worry about it. He took care of it all by himself.

In her previous life, when Rutang got married, she refused to see guests because of her disfigurement, so she hid in her room, pulled the curtains and cried.

Same bridal chamber, same bride, but completely different moods.

At that time, Yu Yaoyang also made a bowl of rice for her, but she was in no mood to eat. She was only concerned with mourning her tragic fate and feeling sorry for herself.

Now she was in a good mood and had a good appetite. She sat here holding the basin, tasting her wedding dishes while looking at the lively guests outside, her heart full of respect for the outsiders.

"Speaking of the dishes, they are indeed good. Yangzi is really willing to spend a lot of money. Our village hasn't had such a grand wedding banquet for many years." Hao Mei just secretly overheard a few times, and everyone was praising her daughter's wedding banquet.

Yu Yaoyang brought back the freshest crabs from the city. Although Dali Village is close to the sea, to get such big crabs in this season, one must have connections, as it is a symbol of status.

Abalone and large prawns are the favorites of people living by the sea. They are occasionally available at the village market, but they are very small. Yu Yaoyang gets the goods from the city and picks the biggest ones to buy, which leaves everyone dumbfounded.

A pig was slaughtered separately and delicious braised pork slices were made, as well as the rarely eaten braised beef, charcoal-grilled octopus, crispy chicken, sweet and sour carp, and sea cucumber dipping sauce that I had never seen before.

Sea cucumbers are a rare commodity for the villagers. Dipping such a precious thing in sauce and eating it in a simple and natural way really made the villagers attending the wedding banquet feel the wealth of the Yu family.

There were people who originally speculated that Yu Yaoyang and his wife were just scavenging in the city and collecting medicinal herbs to make themselves look good. However, after seeing this plate of sea cucumber dipping sauce, the rumors were dispelled.

The sea cucumbers are used to dip in soybean paste. What kind of family is this?

Look at the clothes the bride is wearing. They are fashionable styles that have never been seen in the village. How could she not be living a good life?

"Just now I heard from our village's fortune teller Aunt Four that your complexion is now rosy, your forehead is full, and your face is round..." Ru Tang was choked before Hao Mei could finish her words.

A violent cough.

"Mom, did Fourth Aunt say that I have a round face?!" Rutang was shocked.

"What do you mean by a pancake face? You have an oval face! Fourth Aunt said that all the wives of officials and rich ladies she has seen have this type of face."

Rutang shrugged. This was true.

This era does not like the cone-shaped faces of later generations, but based on her experience of rebirth, there are almost no female entrepreneurs with cone-shaped faces. Although the aesthetic standards of later generations are mainly cone-shaped faces and pointed chins, and even many internet celebrities have undergone bone-cutting surgery for beauty, from the perspective of physiognomy, this face shape is really not good and indicates bad luck.

"Fourth Aunt also praised your bright eyes and dignified manners. You can tell at a glance that you are destined to enjoy a good life."

"I remember that Fourth Aunt didn't say that to me before. When I was in high school, she said that I had no flesh on my cheeks and a seductive look in my eyes, and that I would become a vixen who destroys other people's families in the future." Ru Tang held a grudge.

"Fourth Aunt said that your appearance changed after you got married. Now you are destined to be a rich wife. She said that rich people in the city are willing to find a wife with this kind of appearance." Hao Mei happily accepted all the compliments. As a parent, how could she not like to hear this?

"Then her calculation is not accurate." Rutang snorted.

These fortune tellers always talk in two ways.

She said everything, good or bad, and it was all her twisted logic anyway.

Hao Mei was afraid that Rutang would say something unlucky on her wedding day, so she was about to interrupt her when she saw Rutang looking out the window with a determined look, her gaze falling on Yu Yaoyang.

"Being a rich wife may be the greatest compliment for the women in this village, but not for me."
