"Sister-in-law, we will follow the rules and will never harm the bride, so don't worry!" Cao Zhi smiled ambiguously.

The others laughed along.

Xiaoxiao hid behind Lin Ziyan, watching them in fear.

"Cao Zhi, get out!" the fat girl shouted, hoping the people outside could hear her.

But just as she was yelling, firecrackers went off, and the sound was completely drowned out.

Lin Ziyan squinted and pulled the chubby girl away, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

Her eyes were dark as she looked at the man leading the group.

The other person shrank back slightly, then straightened their back.

"What consequences could there be?" Cao Zhi smiled sinisterly, turning to look at the children behind him.

"Why aren't you coming to your auntie to ask for some wedding candy?"

Several children they brought swarmed around the chubby girl and quickly pulled her aside.

The men who entered the bridal chamber kept getting closer to Lin Ziyan.

The chubby girl shouted out the window, "Cao De..."

Cao De, who was drinking with others at the table, suddenly stood up after glancing at the empty seats.

"Ade, where are you going?" The older brother's eyes darted around as he hurriedly stopped him.

Seeing him like this, Cao De felt even more uneasy.

He pushed his older brother aside and strode towards the bridal chamber, eventually even starting to jog.

As soon as he reached the window, he heard screams.

At this moment, Cao Zhi was squatting on the ground, his face deathly pale, unable to get up at all.

Seeing this, the others swallowed hard and didn't dare to move.

"What are you doing?" Cao De walked into the house and questioned loudly.

When Cao Zhi saw his younger brother, he didn't say a word, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

No one saw how Lin Ziyan made her move; in the blink of an eye, Cao Zhi was on the ground.

"Get out!" Cao De's eyes gradually turned ruthless as he saw their guilty expressions.

Lin Ziyan looked at him, but the coldness in her eyes did not dissipate.

She had seen videos of wedding pranks before, where the pranks involved grabbing the bridesmaids.

In the end, it made things very awkward for both sides.

She never expected that she would be reborn here and experience it all again.

"Cao De, they said they were coming to make trouble in the wedding room, but they were actually after Ayan."

"If you don't resolve this matter today, the wedding is off!" The chubby girl finally pushed away the child who was clinging to her, her eyes filled with terror.

If anything really happens to Ayan in her house, she will fight these people to the death.

Cao De's pupils dilated. He strode up to his second brother, kicked him hard, and said in an icy tone,

"Call the police."

"Are you crazy? I'm your second brother, why are you calling the police?" Cao Zhizhen panicked.

This is a period of severe crackdown, and if the charge of hooliganism is proven, the sentence will be very heavy.

Lin Ziyan knew, of course, that even if Cao De hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have let these people off easily.

Lin Ziyan knew very well what these people wanted to do when they came in. They just wanted to make her suffer in silence and, in the end, for the sake of her sisters' reputation, to make a big deal out of a small deal and a small deal out of a deal.

It's not difficult for several men to overpower a girl.

A dark light flickered in Lin Ziyan's eyes. Was she planning to exploit the family's infertility?

Cao De: "Second Brother? I don't acknowledge you. You're nothing to me."

"From today onwards, my surname is Chen."

He walked up to Lin Ziyan and said, "I'm sorry, I frightened you."

"I will definitely go to your home to apologize."

The chubby girl glared at him, "Hurry up and call the police!"

When Aunt Chen arrived at the bridal chamber and heard the last sentence, her legs went weak.

She was pulled over by Xiaoxiao, and her heart was pounding.

"What happened?" Aunt Chen's throat was practically steaming.

When she saw Cao Zhi lying on the ground, her eyelids twitched.

Fatty: "They were going to make a scene in the wedding room, and Ah Yan kicked this one."

Because it concerned Lin Ziyan's reputation, the chubby girl didn't dare to reveal the details.

Aunt Chen was furious. Was she going to cause a ruckus in the wedding room?

To put it bluntly, it's about harassing the bride's bridesmaids.

"Take her to the police station, I'll go call the police right away." Aunt Chen's face changed instantly.

She didn't even look at Cao De, and ran straight out to call for help.

Lin Ziyan clenched her fists, a warm feeling washing over her.

Finally, the men who were preparing to cause trouble in the bridal chamber were all taken away by the police.

The Cao family members were too ashamed to stay at the Chen family's house and slunk away.

Cao De went to the police station to give his statement before returning.

The banquet ended up like this, and he lost all affection for his family.

Fortunately, the guests at home had finished eating and left early, leaving only Aunt Chen's maternal grandmother's family and the groom's family to eat at the banquet.

The villagers didn't know the inside story, and all sorts of rumors circulated.

To outsiders, Aunt Chen said that the Cao family had caused trouble at the banquet and had even hit someone.

"I think the Cao family is heartless; they even caused trouble at my brother's banquet."

"Who says otherwise? When a group of people came into the village today, I could tell that Chen's son-in-law looked very unhappy."

"Could it be some kind of wedding prank? Otherwise, why would they be taken to the police station?"

"..."

The gossip reached Aunt Chen's ears.

She quickened her pace, hurrying towards the Lin family's house.

If this matter isn't handled well today, the two families will become estranged.

It was only thanks to Ayan that the family's life became a little better.

"What's the rush?" Grandma sat on the stone stool by the door.

Xiaoxiao told her everything that happened today, and she couldn't find anything wrong with how Cao De and the Chen family handled it.

"Grandma, let's talk in the main room." Aunt Chen looked at her as if she had found her pillar of support.

"Nothing to say, let's just leave it at that."

“Didn’t Cao De say he’d never see me again? I think he can do it,” Auntie interrupted her.

There's no point in arguing about this; we shouldn't let outsiders damage the relationship between our two families.

Aunt Chen sat down on the stone stool next to her, her eyes reddening.

"I finally found a decent son-in-law, but his family..."

"No one is perfect. As long as they can make a good life together, that's all that matters," Grandma sighed.

Lin Ziyan brought out a cup of hot tea from the main room. "Aunt Chen, have some hot tea."

She was very satisfied with the Chen family's handling of the matter.

"Ah Yan, I'm still sorry about this." Aunt Chen sighed.

Grandma said, "Alright, I've said it, so it's over."

Lin Ziyan nodded, saying that saying more would make them feel distant.

Aunt Chen's first reaction was to call the police, which already put her at ease.

The fat girl insisted on calling the police on Cao Zhi's alleged indecent behavior, which surprised Lin Ziyan.

"Aunt Chen, after the New Year, the shrimp paste factory will be temporarily handed over to you and Aunt Huang."

"I want to go abroad," Lin Ziyan changed the subject.

On her way back from the airport, she thought that instead of waiting until spring to go, she might as well do it now.

Her uncle promised to help her get the documents done as soon as possible.

"Go abroad?" Aunt Chen was stunned.

Coming to her senses, she quickly looked at her grandmother, only to find that her grandmother's expression had not changed.

"Ayan, why are you thinking of going abroad? How many days will you be gone?" Aunt Chen was genuinely alarmed.

She was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the large number of orders after the Lunar New Year.

We also had to find people to grow chili peppers, garlic, and other things—a whole host of tasks.

"I estimate it will take a month," Lin Ziyan continued.

These past few days she's been staying home writing plans for shrimp farms, fish farms, and so on.

With Professor Shen's research team there, she wasn't too worried about the shrimp farm and fish farm.
