On the 15th day of August, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was crisp in autumn. It was the day when the village chief's daughter Liu Xueer got married.

However, the entire Liujia Village was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

At daybreak, the hardworking and kindhearted villagers were already busy. They carefully selected their most valuable items and, filled with immense gratitude, spontaneously headed towards the home of the village chief, Liu An.

Some villagers brought colorful scraps of cloth, which were saved by their daily frugality; some brought a basket of fresh eggs or a few pounds of tempting pork... For them who did not live a rich life, these were extremely precious foods.

However, rather than saying that these gifts were used to congratulate Liu An on his daughter's marriage, it would be more accurate to say that they were given by the villagers to express their deep gratitude to Liu Xueer for her great sacrifice for the village.

Liu Dazhu's family is naturally no exception.

After having a simple but warm breakfast, the virtuous and capable Mu Guihua began to prepare gifts in an orderly manner.

First, she carefully arranged the plump river fish her husband had caught the day before and placed them in an exquisite bamboo basket. Then, she quietly walked into the bedroom and carefully opened the old wooden box. From the bottom, she found a perfectly preserved red dress. This dress had been hand-sewn for her by her mother, full of maternal love and blessings.

Over the years, the family of Village Chief Liu An had spent almost all their money to treat their seriously ill daughter. Their already tight financial situation had become even more difficult, and they probably couldn't afford to buy Liu Xueer a decent wedding dress.

Although everyone knew that if Liu Xueer married the King of Ximing in the deep pool as a mortal, death would undoubtedly be what awaited her; but getting married is one of the most important moments in a person's life after all, so how could Liu Xueer be allowed to leave in such a shabby and shabby way?

Thinking of this, Mu Guihua gritted her teeth and, after a fierce ideological struggle, finally made up her mind to give her precious wedding dress to Liu Xueer. Because in her opinion, only in this way could she make up for the unspeakable guilt and regret in her heart towards Liu Xueer.

"When Mu Guihua went out, Xingyue took the opportunity to say: Sister Guihua, let me go with you."

Mu Guihua sighed slightly and nodded, "Alright. Xue'er is going to be born tonight... Miss Xingyue, you can go see her, she should be very happy."

Although the world worships the Goddess of Light, the world does not know her true name. Therefore, the stars and moons that descended to the mortal world still use her own name.

Soon, Xingyue followed Mu Guihua to Liu An's house in the east of the village.

At this moment, Liu An's courtyard was already thronged with the throngs of villagers who had arrived one after another. These kindhearted and simple people had come spontaneously to offer gifts and help. Some were busily building the wedding tent; others were busy cooking in the kitchen, where smoke rose from the air; and still others were squatting on the ground, carefully selecting vegetables...

Although this was a marriage to a god, Liu An still gritted his teeth and tried his best to arrange a decent wedding for his daughter.

Mu Guihua handed the river fish to the cook, and then she and Xingyue walked through the crowded crowd and came to Liu Xueer's boudoir.

Liu Xueer was sitting upright on a chair beside the bed. Her mother stood behind her, her eyes red as she combed her hair while crying. She murmured to herself, "Xueer, you have suffered many hardships in this life. I only hope that you can be born into a wealthy and good family in your next life..."

Although there was no mirror in front of her, Liu Xueer could easily use her imagination to picture how beautiful her mother looked after dressing her up.

She shook her head slightly and said softly, "Mother, Xue'er has caused you and father so much suffering in this life. It's all because of my unfilial behavior that I have burdened you. If there is an afterlife, Xue'er sincerely hopes to be reunited with mother and father; but by then, Xue'er hopes that I will be the one taking care of you..."

Hearing her daughter's sensible words, Liu Xueer's mother could no longer suppress her inner sorrow and burst into tears. For a moment, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

At this heartbreaking moment, Mu Guihua spoke at the right time: "Sister Qiuxiang, and Xueer..." Her voice was soft and warm, as if it had a soothing power.

Li Qiuxiang and Liu Xueer heard someone calling their names and quickly looked up. They were startled when they saw the friendly visitor, but they quickly reacted, wiped away the tears from their eyes, and tried to appear calmer.

"Sister Guihua, thank you so much for coming!" Li Qiuxiang stepped forward quickly and held Mu Guihua's hand tightly, her eyes full of emotion and relief.

Then, Li Qiuxiang carefully accepted the wedding dress that Mu Guihua had brought her, gently unfolded it, and carefully put it on her daughter. Every movement was so meticulous and full of a mother's deep love for her daughter.

Liu Xueer stood quietly, watching her mother dress her, her heart filled with emotion. She turned her head and looked at Mu Guihua and Xingyue with eyes full of gratitude, saying softly, "Thank you, Aunt Guihua, and Sister Yue..."

At this moment, although Liu Xueer still had tears in the corners of her eyes, there was a faint smile on her face.

Xingyue silently watched Li Qiuxiang, her tears streaming down her cheeks, and Mu Guihua, her eyes red. She could sense the pain and helplessness these two women felt deep within them, so she sighed softly and said gently, "Sisters-in-law, I want to spend some time with Xue'er and say some heartfelt words to her. You should go and attend to other matters first."
