May Day is an auspicious day for betrothal, marriage, engagement, transactions, and ancestor worship.

As dawn broke, Chu Fang and his family got up very early. They were in a hurry to go to Zhong Tingyue's house today.

Early in the morning, Chu's mother began packing up all sorts of gifts, presents, and local specialties, filling two cars to the brim.

Although Chu's mother was hostile towards Zhong Tingyue, she still acted as a good mother-in-law out of consideration for Chu, and prepared all the necessary procedures and ceremonies.

"Alright, alright, stop busy, everyone go and pay respects to our ancestors first." Mother Chu clapped her hands.

The Chu family members put down their work, then took paper money, candles, and other sacrificial items and headed up the mountain.

According to local custom, before getting engaged, it is necessary to worship ancestors to bless the couple with a long and happy marriage.

Snap snap snap... ...

The sound of firecrackers filled the entire mountaintop as people successively paid homage to the ancestors of the Chu family, and finally also paid homage to Chu Fang's maternal grandfather.

Although my maternal grandfather was not a member of the Chu family, he was still an elder, not to mention the connection with Chu's mother.

Upon arriving at her maternal grandfather's tomb, Chu's mother remained calm and silent.

Even though her father has been gone for so long, she still can't forget him.

She clasped her hands together and then knelt down: "Dad, today is my darling's engagement day. I've come to see you. I know you don't have any feelings for my darling, but please, for your daughter's sake, bless my darling's relationship to go smoothly and that she will grow old together."

She didn't say these words aloud; she just kept them to herself.

"If only you were still alive..."

After descending the mountain, Chu's mother regained her cheerful demeanor: "Hehe..."

After the Chu family finished packing the items they needed, they left the town together. Because of the long journey and the need to take a plane, Chu Fang's maternal grandmother and paternal grandmother did not go and stayed at home.

Those who went included Chu Fang, Chu's father, Chu's mother, Chu Yi, Zhou Qiong, his uncle, his aunt, Chu Yongquan, and Ye Shan.

Traffic jams were everywhere during the May Day holiday, but fortunately they were traveling from a small town to Chengdu, where the roads were relatively less congested, and they arrived at Chengdu Airport quickly.

Upon entering the airport, flight attendants guided the Chu family through security and then onto the plane.

"Wow!" Chu's mother couldn't help but exclaim as she entered the cabin, "What a spacious airplane!"

Chu Fang asked, "Besides the few of us, is there no one else?"

Chu Fang nodded; "This is a rented plane, specially used to transport us to the Central Plains."

Mr. Chu said indifferently, "It's a waste of money."

“Waste? This is a very good deal,” Chu Fang explained. “On the one hand, we have a lot of stuff, and only a private plane can carry us; on the other hand, it’s a holiday season recently, and plane tickets are not easy to buy.”

"Besides, so what if your son is rich?"

Chu's father glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

Chu Fang is indeed right.

"Wuhu~~~" Chu's mother bounced around in the cabin like a bird released into the sky.

"Madam, please be careful," the flight attendant said.

Chu's mother asked, "What did you call me?"

"lady."

"Madam?" Chu Ma smacked her lips. "Hehe, just like in the TV series, no one has ever called me Madam before. I like this title."

Ye Shan looked around the cabin.

Although I had carefully considered the wealth and assets of Chu Fang's brother-in-law, I still felt that my perspective was a bit narrow.

Ye Shan thought to herself, "If I could buy such a plane, it would be so prestigious. When I fly this plane back to my parents' home, everyone will look at me with respect."

"Emm... ...I think I'll pass. Airplanes may be glamorous, but they're not something ordinary people can afford. Besides, I'm going back to my parents' home now. No one will look down on me or say I married the wrong person."

Ye Shan's family was relatively well-off, better off than her uncle's. Her relatives and friends all opposed her marrying Chu Yongquan, saying it was "poverty alleviation," but the final result proved her right.

The last time she went back to her parents' home, she drove a new car and carried expensive gifts, and everyone praised her for her good taste.

Everyone dislikes Sichuan opera face-changing, but everyone can change their faces very quickly.

"husband."

"Um."

"What are you doing?"

Chu Yongquan put down his phone: "Work."

"Don't rush to work at a time like this."

"good."

Ye Shan, with one arm around Chu Yongquan's arm and the other touching her belly, said, "Honey, we need to work hard and earn more money to create a better family environment for our child, so that our child won't suffer like we did."

"I will try my best."

The flight attendant helped Chu's mother sit down and fasten her seatbelt. The plane then took off, heading towards the Central Plains.

"Good boy/girl."

"Um."

"Your mom is taking off."

“... ..."

In the Central Plains, the sun shines brightly, illuminating the land.

It was only noon, but the Zhong family had already received many guests, relatives, friends, and neighbors, all gathered in small groups, cracking melon seeds and chatting idly.

A relative, unaware of the details, asked, "I heard that the Zhong family's daughter's boyfriend is from Chengdu?"

“Yes,” the village neighbor replied. “However, don’t underestimate Chu Fang. He bought a car and a house in Shanghai and founded a listed company with a market value of several billion yuan through his own efforts.”

"A listed company isn't something you create; it's something that develops to a certain stage, gets approved by the government, and then goes public to raise funds," the son of a neighbor in the village explained to his mother.

The village neighbor glared at the son: "You think you know everything? If you had half of Chu Fang's skills, I'd die happy."

Her son shook his head: "Mother, this is the reason why I can't succeed. If I succeed, you will die, and as your son, I can't bear it."

The core message is: filial piety!

This immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Zhong Ping greeted the arriving guests and offered them cigarettes. The guests were surprised: "Oh, you stingy guy have finally decided to offer good cigarettes. That's rare."

In the past, getting Zhong Ping a good cigarette was like asking him to die.

"With such a wealthy son-in-law, you're really living the good life," someone joked.

Zhong Tingyue's uncle said quietly, "When has he ever suffered?"

Zhong Ping's philosophy is to enjoy each day as it comes, regardless of the future. It was thought that Zhong Ping's life would be miserable when he got old, but unexpectedly, he had a wealthy son-in-law.

When will I ever suffer again in this lifetime? Uncle Zhong Tingyue thought to himself.

He longed for his younger brother to suffer, then he would save him as a savior, and then stand on the moral high ground to teach Zhong Ping a lesson.

I can't even imagine how amazing it would be, it's a pity...

... ...

Inside her boudoir, Zhong Tingyue sat in front of her dressing table, applying makeup and putting on cosmetics.

Wearing a white dress with a cinched waist and lace embellishments, the white skirt flutters gently, exuding elegance.

Her delicate features were accentuated by exquisite makeup; her eyelashes were lightly curled, her eyes sparkled with intelligence, and her lips were adorned with a light lipstick, like a cherry blossom in its first bloom.

Her soft hair fell gently over her shoulders, and she wore simple yet stylish clothes. Every detail revealed her gentleness and elegance, making her captivating.

Zhong Anliang, Zhong Tingyue's cousin and her uncle's son, looked at it and said, "Sister, you've been drawing for over half an hour, how come there's no change?"

Zhong Tingyue said, "Zhong Rou, drag Zhong Anliang out and beat him up."

What a clueless idiot.

Zhong Anliang was a few years younger than Zhong Tingyue. She had disciplined her cousin quite a bit in the past, so no matter how beautiful she was, she was an ugly monster in her cousin's eyes.

"Assaulting someone is illegal."

"one hundred."

Zhong Rou grabbed Zhong Anliang by the neck. "Sister, give me two hundred, and I'll whip him a few times."

"OK."

Then Zhong Rou dragged Zhong Anliang out of the house, and heart-wrenching sounds came from outside.

"Zhong! Rou!" Gao Ruoyun's voice came from outside.

"My sister told me to make it."
