"Uncle, Auntie, if you don't mind, would you like to come with me for a moment?"

Xia Lan patted Chu Xiaolan's hand, then said to Chu's father.

"Can……"

Chu's father and mother were puzzled and were invited to a room by Xia Lan.

"These are the clothes we prepared for you. Xiaolan really hopes you can attend her wedding. It's such an important event that only happens once in a lifetime. As your parents, how can you be absent?"

Xia Lan smiled at the two of them and placed the clothes she had prepared in advance into their hands.

"I...I...I..."

"Such nice clothes, don't waste them."

Chu's mother hugged the clothes with excitement, while Chu's father looked at the black fingers on his hand and withdrew his hand.

"Here's hot and cold water and towels. Uncle and Aunt, please tidy up and change your clothes!"

Xia Lan could tell that they really wanted to agree, but they were unwilling because of their inferiority complex.

Xia Lan prepared everything for them in time and then left the room.

Let them make their own decisions.

The respect Xia Lan showed left the couple in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Honey, this is Lan'er's wedding..."

"...Hurry up and wipe yourself clean, change your clothes and go out!"

Ultimately, he couldn't bear to miss his daughter's wedding. He glanced at his wife, knowing she really wanted to attend.

He really wanted to participate.

If you really can't bear to part with it, then just grit your teeth and go for it!

When Chu's father and mother came out after changing their clothes, Xia Lan's eyes lit up.

"The clothes suit you perfectly!"

Xia Lan's choice of dark colors made the two people with dark skin appear brighter.

Xia Lan brought over the makeup supplies, pulled Chu's mother aside, and quickly did a simple makeup application for her.

When Chu's mother came out, Chu's father was also dumbfounded.

Chu Xiaolan's good looks are all thanks to her mother. Back then, Chu's mother was the most beautiful woman in the village, and many men would break down her door just to marry her.

To everyone's surprise, Chu's mother ultimately chose Chu's father, who was the least favored candidate.

Because Chu's father was not liked by his mother from childhood, he was raised by his grandmother and was the eldest grandson.

He was not close to his mother from a young age, which led to his status plummeting after his grandmother died and his mother became the head of the household.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing Chu's father's staring gaze, Chu's mother lowered her head in embarrassment.

Chu's father, however, was filled with sorrow.

Like Chu Xiaolan, she was stunningly beautiful in her youth.

She captivated the young men of several surrounding villages, making them jealous.

He couldn't give her a single good day or marry her. She was worn out by the daily toil, and her fair face was tanned dark.

Her once fair hands are now covered with scars and chilblains.

"It's my fault for being useless; I couldn't give you a good life..."

Chu's father was filled with sorrow. How beautiful Chu's mother had been back then! She deserved a better man...

Hearing Chu's father's words, Chu's mother felt a warmth in her heart.

"My family is a bit poor, but I live a very peaceful and happy life."

“I have never regretted marrying you back then, not before, and not now.”

Chu's mother walked up to Chu's father and said earnestly.

"I……"

Chu's father pursed his lips, looking at his wife with guilt.

"Alright, I know you feel sorry for me, that's enough! Today is our daughter's wedding, we should happily send her off."

Chu's mother said to Chu's father, and pulled him to stand in front of Xia Lan.

"Thank you so much! I'd completely forgotten what I look like..."

Chu's mother was truly impressed by Xia Lan's skills. She hadn't seen her own face for many years, but Xia Lan had managed to cover up the wrinkles on her face and restore some of her former beauty.

"If Xiaolan is so beautiful, how could you not be beautiful, Auntie?"

Xia Lan chuckled softly.

"My name is Xia Lan, just like Xiao Lan, Lan Lan."

"Xiaolan and I are good friends and best friends."

Xia Lan then introduced herself to Chu's parents.

"You're also Xiaolan, what a coincidence."

After hearing Xia Lan's introduction, Chu's mother became even more affectionate towards her.

"Uncle and Aunt, let's go! Xiaolan is still waiting for you!"

Xia Lan smiled and pulled them out.

Chu Xiaolan was still wondering why Xia Lan had taken her parents away, but when she saw that her parents had changed their clothes and saw her mother's face, which resembled her own, Chu Xiaolan's eyes reddened.

"One more time!"

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction and gave Xia Lan an appreciative look.

They directly announced that the wedding would be held again.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Chu's father led Chu Xiaolan slowly onto the stage and placed her hand in Chen Hua's.

"From now on, I'm entrusting my daughter to you."

"You must treat her well, and whatever you do, don't let her cry."

Chu's father spoke earnestly to Chen Hua.

"Xiaolan, your father is not capable, but you are more capable than your father. After you get married, work hard for your own family and don't worry about your father and mother!"

Father Chu smiled at Chu Xiaolan.

"I will listen to you and tear down the house and rebuild it!"

"This time, I will not compromise."

Chu Xiaolan and Chen Hua were shocked by Chu's father's words, unable to believe that he would change his mind.

Chu Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and she hugged her father.

Father Chu froze; it had been so many years since he had held his daughter.

He gently patted Chu Xiaolan, released her, placed her hand in Chen Hua's hand, and then turned back to Chu's mother's side.
