Matchmaker Zhou timed it perfectly, not wasting a second.
"Alright, bride and groom, grab the ropes, ready...begin."
The audience was thrilled.
"Go for it, bride!"
Wow, my daughter-in-law is so strong.
“My daughter-in-law is not bad either. Look at the veins on her forehead. She’s really working hard.”
"Old Xiao, my mother-in-law is just as strong as a young girl."
"Your mother-in-law looks very healthy, so it's normal for her to be strong."
"Mom, Grandma, Grandma on the other hand, the sister-in-law that Shishi found for us is really amazing. I'll learn from her and improve myself."
"I'm so confused. My son can carry hundreds of kilograms of rice at home, but today he's become a weakling, even weaker than my daughter-in-law?"
"Yes, my son is acting strangely too. He was carrying a large cabinet with one hand yesterday, what's wrong with him today?"
"Did the bride take some kind of superpower pill, or did the groom take some kind of muscle relaxant?" Someone asked, and the question shifted the focus of attention.
"What kind of super strength pill? Is it a pill that makes you strong? Where can I find one? I want to eat one too. If I eat one, I'll definitely get full work points every day."
Various murmurs arose from the crowd, starting with comments about the bride's strength, then disdain for the groom, and finally veerging towards the topic of fighting over the "power pills."
The grooms, their heads covered by red blankets, were shocked.
Did your sister-in-law give their precious wife some kind of superpower?
My sister-in-law is incredibly strong; everyone in the camp knows that. Even a top soldier like Deputy Division Commander Xie can't handle her. Is it because she took some kind of super-strength pill?
Could it be that my sister-in-law has turned all their wives into her?
No!
They want a sweet and gentle wife, not a strongwoman.
It's said that Deputy Division Commander Xie couldn't beat his wife and was completely dominated by her. They don't want that kind of experience.
no!
Absolutely not!!
The grooms immediately put on the same pair of trousers, bent over, and pulled harder.
Heave-ho, heave-ho~
It doesn't matter if I beat my wife; at worst, I can go to sea for three days. Right now, I must prove that my wife can't beat me.
See? Without choice, there is no comparison.
Initially, training was conducted at night; it was forbidden to enter the bridal chamber on the wedding night.
Later, they went out to sea to fish, and if they didn't return for three days, they wouldn't return.
As it turns out, postponing the wedding night by one or three days is no big deal now.
As long as they can outmaneuver their wives, they are truly upright and honorable men.
Not far away, a little baby sat in a stroller, holding a bottle of milk. He took a sip, blew some milk foam, and then...
"Pull, pull, hey yo, pull your wife..."
Her soft, childlike voice sounded like she was singing, but it was broken and incomplete, and the tone was flat, yet it was strangely fitting for the occasion.
It's just like taking a wife, except this wife is not the same as that wife.
Grooms who suddenly become energetic: ......
The song kept repeating in my ears, and it felt like it was mocking their overestimation of their abilities.
Huh, why can't I pull the rope out?
Has my wife become this strong?
Oh dear, will my wife be abusive?
The scene of the tug-of-war.
The grooms, wearing red veils, gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength, leaning their bodies forward.
Many people's red headscarves were already soaked with sweat. If the headscarves hadn't been wide enough, a serious case of drowning in the dry land would have been staged in the island camp.
Don't ask why a tough guy would go to such lengths with a delicate woman. The answer is: the matchmaker is being dishonest, giving their wives a powerful boost.
Grandpa Yue was the worst off, panting heavily, his old bones almost falling apart.
Fortunately, he was in the same group as Lu Fan, and his grandson-in-law took care of him, so he could rest a bit and it wasn't too tiring.
Sigh, it's really not easy to get a wife, and it's even harder to get a female client from Zhou the matchmaker's business.
The little girl has put a lot of thought into it.
You rascals, after what happened today, you should know that a wife is meant to be cherished.
I'm exhausted here, but the other side... well, they look pretty relaxed.
It has to be easy, given the large number of people involved.
A group of twelve or fourteen warriors, double the number, is enough to crush six or seven grooms.
The key is that there is a small pit under the feet of the person at the very front. With his feet against the pit wall, he can't take a step forward without exerting any effort, thanks to the power of nature and the pull of the people behind him.
Simply grip the rope tightly in your hand.
Haha, the big guy with his head covered would never have guessed that the person opposite him wasn't his wife, but her accomplice, who could even cheat.
The matchmaker is going to "walk" the groom—and she really is "walking" him.
My sister-in-law said that if there's no bride left alone in her room, there will be two pounds of meat that can't be given away. If you become the bride's helper, the meat will be yours to eat.
Hehe, my sister-in-law said there's still half a pig left, it's all theirs, they can eat it however they want.
Group 1 has 12 people, Group 10 has 14 people, and there are 152 people in total. Half a pig is not much to share, so they plan to pool their money and go to the canteen to have it stewed. Wow, just thinking about it makes me happy.
Sister-in-law, we love you! If you need any more pranks, come find us again!
The bride stood next to the helpers, watching the groom go from initially just going through the motions to now working desperately. Many of them turned their faces away, unable to bear watching.
It wasn't that I felt sorry for them, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold back my laughter and ruin the matchmaker's quirky humor.
They also had to open their mouths and make grunting noises from time to time to show that they were pulling hard, so as not to give themselves away.
The audience members covered their mouths tightly, afraid that their breath would ruin the atmosphere.
Parents, especially those who travel from afar, either leave their farm work behind and bring their families, or take time off work to come.
