They stopped a villager to ask for directions to the educated youth settlement, only to discover it was in the direction of the bride. A bad feeling welled up in the couple's hearts.
After revealing their identities, the villagers were overjoyed to tell them that today's bride was Zhou Wenzhi, the younger sister of the Zhou family. The two rushed off, kicking up a dead leaf in the process.
Damn it, he didn't even tell his family he was getting married. Has this scoundrel been kicked in the head by a donkey?
The two rushed to the educated youth settlement in a panic, but before they even saw the bride, they heard sounds of disdain.
"Ugh~, what kind of wedding is it if there are no wedding candies? The groom is so stingy."
"Young lady, you're not from our village, are you? I've never seen you before."
"Yes, the little girl is really pretty, and the young man is quite good-looking too. These little kids look like little fairies. Who are you related to?"
"That shouldn't be the case. If anyone in our village had relatives like that, how come we've never seen them before?"
"Could it be a relative of one of the educated youth?"
"Young ladies, are you here to attend the wedding of Zhou Zhiqing and Xu Qingzhi? Are you relatives of the Zhou family or the Xu family?"
The villagers were all talking at once.
They were all very curious, as it was the first time they had seen so many people who were as beautiful as flowers.
The last time someone was so stunning was Zhou Zhiqing, who was practically the most beautiful girl in the village. The key thing was that she didn't get tanned. After several years in the countryside, apart from her skin becoming a little rougher, she was still as fair-skinned as when she first arrived.
Shishi thought of someone, "What is Zhou Zhiqing's full name?"
"Zhou Wenzhi, don't you recognize her? Isn't she a relative of Xu Zhiqing?"
An older woman looked Xu up and down, somewhat suspiciously remarking, "Xu Zhiqing has a donkey-like face; he shouldn't have such good-looking relatives."
The groom, wearing jeans and a polyester shirt, frowned.
Auntie, if you're talking behind my back, can you please move a little further away? I'm standing right in front of you, I heard everything.
"Wenzhi, are you ready yet? The auspicious time is almost here. Come out quickly, we're going to the bridal chamber."
The girl next to him stood up and spoke on behalf of the bride.
"Oh, Guosheng, don't rush me. Today is your big day, it only happens once in a lifetime, Zhizhi definitely needs to dress up nicely."
The little girl at her feet pouted and muttered softly.
"No matter how she dresses up, she's not as pretty as my mom. My mom said that when we go back to the city, she'll make her take care of me like a city maid."
"Want to marry my dad? No way. My dad belongs to my mom. Once this idiot gets a spot to return to the city, the three of us can be reunited."
The buzzing of mosquitoes was so loud that even her mother couldn't hear it, but several people in the audience did, which added to the amusement of the situation.
Enough twists and turns.
That's melodramatic enough.
Guagua fiddled with the audio, turned up the volume, and was astonished by what he heard.
This is not something a three or four-year-old child should say. Even if they are precocious, it's impossible. It's obvious that they were taught by an adult.
Tsk tsk, they've practically jumped the abacus beads onto the Zhou family's faces.
A moment later, a voice came from inside, "Here you are, Brother Guosheng."
Zhou Wenyan recognized his sister's voice, and his eyes reddened.
If it were really her wedding, how could she dare?
"Oh, the bride is coming out! Look!"
"Ha, is this the bride? She's dressed even worse than Xia Zhiqing standing next to the groom. She looks like she's about to go to work in the fields. It doesn't look like a wedding at all!"
"Yes, if it weren't for Zhou Zhiqing's good looks and fair skin, even wearing such coarse clothes, let alone Xia Zhiqing outshining her, we old women might even be prettier than her."
"Keep bragging. Even if he's not good-looking, he's still a young man. You're half-buried and you're trying to compare yourself to him."
"I was just using an analogy."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenyan couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Zhou Wenzhi, is this the life you chose for true love?"
"Your parents worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay them?"
"You gave away the return-to-city slot we got for you, and you're just staying here to suffer like this?"
"Not only did you give away your spot to return to the city, but you also indulged your maternal instincts by staying behind to take care of someone else's child. Now you're going to marry such an ugly freak. Aren't you stupid?"
"Is your brain just for show? Can't you use a pig's brain to think?"
Upon hearing the Lion's Roar, Shi Shi was thrilled and quickly sat up straight; the show was about to begin.
"Daddy, Daddy, throw me up on the wall!"
“Auntie, uncles, please sit here, we’ll sit in a row.”
Zhou Wenzhi's eyes lit up when she saw her familiar relatives.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what brings you here? Are you here for my wedding?"
"You've come just in time! Quickly, help me with the wedding preparations. Guosheng's family isn't well-off, and we don't have the money for his wedding. We haven't even bought any wedding items for our new house."
It was wrong of her to act first and inform later, but Guosheng said that as long as the deed was done, they would have to accept the marriage even if their family disagreed.
Then we can try to persuade our families to help us and Guosheng get a spot to return to the city.
"Yes, Brother Wenyan, it's only right that you, as the brother-in-law, contribute some wedding supplies for my marriage with Wenzhi."
The ugly man felt no shame in asking his wife's family for money, and even pretended not to hear those three words.
One was brainless, and the other was shameless, which made Zhou Wenyan laugh in anger.
He tried to suppress his anger and attempted to save the brainless one.
"Zhizhi, your family sends you 10 yuan every month, and they also try to exchange all kinds of tickets for nationally valid tickets and send them over. That should be more than enough for you. Why are you dressed like this and so thin?"
She wasn't this thin the last time she went home. What happened to her?
Several gasps rose from the crowd.
"My goodness, 10 yuan a month is enough for a whole family to live comfortably, so why is it that the educated youth Zhou is living a worse life than us?"
