Zhou Ying covered her mouth. What was Zhou trying to say? Why couldn't she understand? What she'd heard was all the stuff she'd heard in TV dramas. Her mother had only come to fight for Grandpa's money, so how could she be doomed?

Zhou Xing hurriedly stood up and called out to Zhou Li, "Hurry up and stay away from our mother. If we get killed, it will be a disaster. I don't want to be the corpse that is framed by Zhou Xiang. I want to live a good life. I still have a lot of beautiful life to live!"

When Zhou Li heard this, she quickly followed her second sister downstairs. She must stay close to her second sister today.

Ye Xiu carefully recalled Zhou Xiang's words, her face pale. Was she really doomed? No, it was impossible. Her father-in-law had something good in his hands. Her mother-in-law had said so herself. Since it was a dead end anyway, she might as well keep fighting.

Zhou Ying watched her mother's expression change. When she saw her mother finally make up her mind, she stood up and said, "Mom, I said I wanted to quit. You may not listen to my advice, but have you ever thought about my younger brother? He's only in his early twenties. He still has a long life ahead of him!"

"Fortune and honor are achieved through risk!" Ye Xiu remained unmoved.

"Zhou Xiang has seen through your plans and those of your instigators. Where can you go for help? Mom, can you please wake up?"

"Get lost! So what if Zhou Xiang sees through everything? She's just an ordinary person."

Ye Xiu's eyes were red. She would never give up on her lifelong persistence.

Zhou Ying burst into tears in disappointment. She turned and went downstairs. Her mother had gone crazy, crazy for that good thing.

~~

The makeup artist and stylist arranged by the wedding company have already arrived, but Zhou Xiang is still eating with a big bowl in his hand. The chef of Heshun Restaurant is quite skilled and can make an ordinary bowl of noodles taste different.

She put down the bowl, wiped her mouth, and then slowly asked her mother for the dress.

When she came out of the bathroom, everyone was stunned. She was wearing a pure red dress with a large slanted V-neck and a high waist that reached below her chest. Below the waist was a light and flowing red chiffon skirt with dark patterns, covered with lace of the same color.

The texture of lace is relatively hard, which well controls the flowing chiffon within the lace skirt shape, avoiding the possibility of exposure. She wears embroidered shoes of the same color on her feet.

The light footsteps are like walking clouds of fire, making people marvel at its beauty and love its warmth.

"Hey hey hey~ I'm back to my senses. I know I'm beautiful, so please don't be obsessed with me."

Zhou's mother waved her hand, "Narcissistic! Okay, hurry up and get your hair done. The stylist has been waiting for a long time."

Everyone hurried to do what they were supposed to do, and their beautiful fantasy was shattered by this sentence.

The stylist and makeup artist were waiting in the yard. Zhou Xiang walked up to the stylist and handed her a jade hairpin. "Use this hairpin to create a simple and elegant hairstyle. If you don't know how, tell me in time and don't waste time."

The stylist took the jade hairpin and nodded repeatedly, "I will, don't worry!"

However, the stylist came up with two hairstyles, but Zhou Xiang rejected both. She pulled out the loose hairpin and said, "Forget it, you should style the two beautiful bridesmaids!"

The stylist was a little unwilling, "I'll try again."

Zhou Xiang shook his head, "There's not enough time. Lu Jin!"

"Oh! Sister-in-law."

"Go and invite Aunt Wang."

"yes."

Lu Jin ran out of the Zhou family yard. Zhou Xiang looked at the cosmetics in front of the makeup artist and shook his head again, "I can do it myself. These are not suitable for me."

The makeup artist and stylist had never encountered such a strange bride before. Since she didn't accept it, they couldn't force it! They could only put makeup and hair on the two bridesmaids.

Aunt Wang was invited by Lu Jin. She smiled as she entered the room. "Oh my! My old arms and legs are still of some use! Didn't I hear you hired a stylist?"

Zhou Xiang handed her the jade hairpin and said, "Auntie Wang, I really like your hair-braiding skills. You've worked hard today. I'll ask my mother to give you a big red envelope later."

"That's what I love to hear."

Aunt Wang said this as she took the jade hairpin and asked Zhou Xiang to sit on the stool. She picked up the comb and combed Zhou Xiang's long hair neatly. Her hands moved very quickly and in the blink of an eye, the jade hairpin was tightly inserted into Zhou Xiang's head.

Zhou wanted to stand up and took the small mirror in front of the makeup artist to look at himself. "Auntie Wang, your skills are still amazing. Thank you!"

Aunt Wang waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. I'll go get my red envelope!"

Aunt Wang happily went to see Zhou's mother. She hadn't received a red envelope in a long time! Today's red envelope must be a big one.

The stylist stared blankly at Zhou Xiang's hair. She had the same idea. Why couldn't she tie it up tightly?

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Hurry up! We're running out of time."

The stylist and makeup artist quickly lowered their heads and continued working. Zhou wanted to go back to the bathroom to draw her eyebrows and apply lipstick, and then she was done. She was pregnant now, so simplicity was best.

Before Aunt Wang even received the red envelope, Zhou's mother pulled her upstairs. "Come on, go, go make the new bed. I'll give it to you all at once!"

"Why hasn't the bed been made yet?" Aunt Wang asked as she followed him upstairs.

"Oh! I'm so busy! This upside-down marriage has me so confused that I don't know what to do. I have to think about everything in reverse and imagine my little girl as my son before I can react."

Aunt Wang laughed and said, "Your family is quite interesting. You don't take people out, but you always marry people in."

The task of making the bed was done by Aunt Wang alone. None of the women in the family were blessed with good fortune. Aunt Wang's parents-in-law and parents were still alive. She was in her seventies and eighties, so cutting grass and feeding pigs was no problem for her. Many people in the town asked Aunt Wang to make their beds. In addition, she was good at combing and braiding hair, so people would come to her for weddings.

"Haha, this is the first time I've received two red envelopes for making the bed and tying my hair in a shop!"

Aunt Wang held two thick red envelopes and smiled.

Mother Zhou also laughed, "Yes! Only my little girl likes to make trouble. Okay, I should get busy. Are you going to play here? Or come over for a drink at noon?"

"Go home first and come back at noon. I just remembered, why isn't your yard hot anymore?"

"Go downstairs and take a look. It's because of the two kids, but it's really nice and cool."

In the yard, when Aunt Wang saw the lawn-like net dotted with scattered flowers, she exclaimed, "Oh my! This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing! What's the idea? But it takes a lot of money and people to come up with something like this. It's great. I'll eat lunch in this yard. Looking at this beautiful roof, I can eat a few more bites of rice."

Mother Zhou laughed, "What's the big deal about eating a few more mouthfuls? It would be better if you could eat a few more bowls."

"No, I can't refuse to accept my age. Now I can't even eat as well as when I was young. Back then, two bowls of rice were not enough to fill me up, but now I can't even finish half a bowl. I'm getting old! You go and get busy! I'm going home quickly. I haven't even cleaned up the dishes yet!"

After A-Lian and Xiao Chunmei's styling and makeup were completed, Zhou Hua and Jiang Weihua looked at each other, silently went upstairs to change into suits, and asked the wedding company for flowers, which they put in the upper left pocket of their suits, and stood beside the two bridesmaids tacitly.
