1965, Nancheng Hutong.
In the innermost courtyard, the gate was open with a big red wedding character pasted on it, and many people were coming in and out.
There were children setting off firecrackers at the door, and there were more than ten banquet tables in the yard, with people drinking and chatting, it was very lively.
But the main house was very quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary.
Mr. Tang, who is almost seventy years old, had a grim face. The medicine he had just taken could not suppress his anger at all.
But he couldn't get angry directly with the guests in the yard outside.
"Qiyue, why do you have to make trouble at this time? Look how angry your father is."
The woman beside Tang's father whispered to the girl kneeling on the ground, but it was of no use.
Tang Qiuyue held her forehead and stared at her father stubbornly, her eyes inevitably sweeping over the PLA calendar and the big red wedding character behind him.
The pain in her forehead reminded her that she had returned to her first life.
Today was the day when her eldest sister ran away from her marriage, and she was forced by her family to take medicine to marry someone else for her eldest sister.
When she woke up in her first life, she was already drifting on the sea.
She also encountered a typhoon and everyone died before reaching the shore. Then she went to struggle in the end of the world.
The apocalypse finally ended, and we were about to start living a good life, but she came back!
"Dad, it was my sister who ran away from her marriage, and it was the Tang family who was disgraced. What does it have to do with me? Now that you want me to marry in my sister's place, you have to ask me, right?"
Tang Qiyue usually has a very low presence at home and has never talked back to her elders.
That's why her non-cooperation today made Tang's father so angry, even angrier than when his eldest daughter ran away from her marriage!
"Yaozong, don't get yourself hurt by being angry. Qiyue is not an ignorant child. Just talk to her slowly!"
The woman who was speaking was Tang's father's former concubine. After the new marriage law was enforced, Tang's father divorced Tang's mother for her.
Tang Qiuyue originally lived with her mother in another courtyard.
If the eldest sister had not run away from marriage, Tang's father would not have remembered that he had a daughter like her.
"Then I ask you now, do you agree or not?"
Tang's father finally realized that he only had this one daughter by his side. If Tang Qiyue didn't cooperate, then their Tang family would be in danger, and he and his son might have to live in a cowshed.
The most important thing right now is to get through this difficult time!
Tang Qiyue, who had experienced the end of the world, was no longer the timid little girl who longed for her father's love. She stood up directly from the ground.
She glanced at the lively scene outside the window, then looked at the people arranged by Tang's father who were staring at her at the door.
"I can marry the person you arranged for me in my eldest sister's place, but I have two demands. First, my brother's household registration must be moved out and placed under my mother's name. You must also publish a statement in the newspaper severing the father-son relationship with my brother. Second, you must give me 10,000 yuan for my own use."
Tang Qiyue's voice was very nice, but to Tang's father's ears, it sounded like the voice of a devil.
He roared, "You are crazy!!!"
In Tang's father's opinion, as long as someone bears his surname, they are members of his family and can never escape from his control.
Not to mention asking him for anything.
Tang Qiyue sneered, "Dad, are you sure you won't agree to my terms? If I remember correctly, the man you arranged is a gunman, and I heard he's a demon. The Tang family is relying on this marriage to turn things around. If we offend him, not only will my brother's household registration be affected, but the Tang family might even be paraded through the streets, right?"
Father Tang grabbed the medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a heart-clearing pill and put it into his mouth.
His heart was beating so fast that he was afraid he would go to hell immediately if he didn't take medicine.
Mrs. Tang next to him kept trying to calm Tang's father down, and her eyes were filled with resentment when she looked at Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue was not in a hurry and said slowly, "I only have these two requests. As long as you agree to them, I will immediately change my clothes and follow you to get married."
This blatant threat made Tang's father want to kill Tang Qiyue directly.
But then he thought, he has so many sons, so what if one is missing!
Besides, a statement is just a statement. After all, his son has his blood. How can he really deny him?
Just at this moment, someone in the yard shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived."
The time of marriage cannot be delayed, otherwise it will bring bad luck to the bride's family.
Tang Qiyue continued, "Dad, if you want to kidnap me and marry me off, I also told you that the moment I open my eyes, I will commit suicide and anger that evil spirit. I don't believe the Tang family can bear the consequences of my death!"
She clearly remembered that after she died, her soul stayed here for a while.
The evil spirit that everyone talked about committed suicide after learning that she was being married off. However, he used his connections to bring about the decline of the Tang family, and all of the once glorious Tang family's property was confiscated.
Except for the eldest sister who ran away from her marriage and went to the countryside to become an educated youth, everyone else in the Tang family lived a miserable life.
Upon hearing this, Tang's father finally took action. He was of course aware of the horror of the evil spirit!
Gnashing his teeth, he walked to the cabinet and took out a small box. "I can give you the money, but I can't make a statement all at once!"
Tang Qiyue also knew that time was running out, so she said magnanimously, "That's fine. The person I'm marrying isn't in the city anyway. Today I just need to go through the formalities at my in-laws' house. There's a boat to take me away in three days. Is three days enough? Dad?"
This time she cooperated honestly and set off three days later, which allowed her to completely avoid the typhoon.
"Tang Qiyue, don't forget that your last name is Tang. Without the Tang family, you're nothing!"
Tang Qiyue grinned at Tang's father's reminder: "Dad, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. I will no longer be named Tang soon."
Tang's father was furious with his attitude. To avoid being mad at himself, he pointed at the wedding dress:
"Go and change it. I'll immediately have someone write a statement at the newspaper office. Your brother's household registration will be transferred to your mother's place tomorrow!"
Tang Qiyue nodded. She directly pulled the small box from Tang's father's hand, opened it to confirm that it contained the new version of RMB, then closed the small box and went into the house to change the wedding dress.
Mrs. Tang was reluctant to part with the box of money. Just as she was about to speak, Tang's father slapped her in the face: "Shut up! If it weren't for you, would Meilan have run away from the marriage?"
Tang's father is not a fool. He has always known the little actions of his partner, but he just turns a blind eye to them.
But he didn't expect that this time the mess would be so big!
After a while, Tang Qiyue changed her clothes.
Although the bright red wedding dress could not compare with the phoenix crown and bridal robe, Tang Qiuyue's face could actually support the dress.
Tang Qiuyue clenched the small box in her hand and walked to the door of the house, ignoring Tang's father the whole time. She had no expectations of this father anymore.
Now only money can give her a sense of security.
The door opened.
A ray of sunlight happened to fall on Tang Qiyue's face, causing the people who came to pick up the bride to exclaim in surprise.
"Sister! Where's my sister?"
Tang Xiuyuan's eyes were bloodshot as he pushed people aside and ran to the yard. He just happened to see Tang Qiyue stretching out her hand to block the ray of sunlight. She was so beautiful in the sunlight against the backdrop of her bright red wedding dress that she didn't look like a real person.
He quickly ran to Tang Qiyue, grabbed his arm and was about to run, "Sister, come with me!"
"Xiaoyuan, I volunteer!"
