Chapter 61: A Show of Power



They read the wedding vows in the main room and held a simple wedding ceremony. Then, Xu Qianjiao was brought into the bridal chamber.

The room was furnished with simple furniture, shabby but full of warmth.

In the room, Cheng Jiawen held Xu Qianjiao's hand and said gently, "Wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon. I'll ask Zhaodi to bring you food later. Eat first, don't be hungry."

"good."

Cheng Jiawen walked to the yard to greet the guests. He went to the kitchen first, scooped up a large bowl of food, and handed it to Cheng Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, help your fourth uncle take the food to your fourth aunt."

Then, he took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to Cheng Zhaodi. Cheng Zhaodi took the candies, put them in her pocket, and said sweetly, "I know, Fourth Uncle. I'll take the food to Fourth Aunt now."

"Okay, thank you Zhaodi."

"You're welcome." Cheng Zhaodi carried the food and walked towards Cheng Jiawen's room.

-------------------------------------

Cheng Jiawen walked into the yard and found all his relatives and friends there. They sat together, sharing candy and fruits, with laughter and chatter.

"The groom is here~ Come on, have a drink." When everyone saw Cheng Jiawen coming out, they started raising their glasses to cheer him on and ask him to drink.

Cheng Jiawen didn't spoil the fun, picked up the wine glass and drank it, "Thank you all for taking the time to come to my wedding today, everyone, enjoy your food and drinks~ I toast to everyone."

After saying that, he raised his wine glass high, waved it towards everyone, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Oh~" Seeing him so generous, everyone instantly ignited the atmosphere on the scene. Everyone was happy and chatting and laughing.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another, including pig intestines, pig trotters, and pig bones, filling a big bowl. Everyone was stunned to see so much meat.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the Cheng family is really generous. There is so much meat, even though it is all pig offal, but the quantity is huge. The money I gave is still too little. They didn't expect there would be so much meat.

Nowadays, what kind of family can afford to use so much meat to entertain guests? Usually when they go to a banquet, they are used to stir-frying a few slices of meat with a large pot of vegetables, and they don’t think it’s a big deal. After all, meat is very precious. What kind of family can afford to use so much meat to entertain guests?

Now, when they suddenly saw a large plate of meat, which was all meat, they were really shocked.

Cheng Jiawen is really good. He is quite capable and can produce so much meat.

Everyone's mouths watered as they watched the delicious dishes. After a while, they finally arrived. Father Cheng shouted, "Let's eat! Everyone, enjoy your meal! I'll toast everyone."

"Cheers!" Everyone picked up their wine glasses, waved them in the direction of Cheng's father, drank them in one gulp, and started to grab the food.

-------------------------------------

On a winter afternoon, the sun gradually lost its warmth, and a slight chill set in. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of chill, gently brushing against my face. Clouds slowly gathered in the sky, and the sky darkened slightly, as if a veil had been cast over the entire world.

In the yard, after everyone had lunch, they put on their thick coats and prepared to leave, leaving a few aunts in the yard to help pack up.

After packing up, Cheng Jiawen distributed the remaining dishes to several aunts who stayed to help and thanked them. The aunts looked at the full bowl of pig offal and immediately smiled, feeling very satisfied.

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Cheng Laosi is really generous. It's worth it for him to stay and help feed so many pigs.

"Hahaha, boy Wen, we aunties will leave first. If you need any help in the future, just come to us." Aunt Chen said with a smile while holding the pig offal.

"Okay, thank you all aunts today, you have all worked hard." Cheng Jiawen said politely after sending them to the door.

Several aunts waved to him, indicating that he didn't need to see them off, and they hurried home carrying the pig offal.

Here, everyone had left. Cheng Jiawen returned to the room and saw that Xu Qianjiao had finished her meal and was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking out the window with boredom.

He walked over and gently stroked her head, "Are you tired? Go get some sleep. Dinner will be ready soon."

Xu Qianjiao yawned lightly and said lazily, "Okay, I want to wash my face before going to bed."

"Okay, I'll go get you a basin of water." After Cheng Jiawen said that, he turned around and took the basin out to get water, preparing to bring it back to the room for Xu Qianjiao to wash her face.

Xu Qianjiao sat in front of the mirror, carefully took off her bun, and combed her hair.

Afterwards, Cheng Jiawen brought the water back. Xu Qianjiao reached out and touched it. It was warm water. She splashed the water with her hands, washed off the makeup on her face, and then wiped off the water droplets with a towel.

"Go to bed and get some sleep."

"good."

Cheng Jiawen took the water out and poured it out. When he came back, Xu Qianjiao was already asleep in bed. He tiptoed to change into his pajamas, sat on the bed, and lay nervously beside her. His palms couldn't help sweating, his body was stiff, and he dared not move.

I don’t know how long it took before I slowly fell asleep.

-------------------------------------

When he woke up again, more than an hour had passed. It was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He rubbed his face with his hands, looked at Xu Qianjiao who was still sleeping beside him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He gently tucked in the quilt for her, put on his clothes and prepared to walk out of the room.

"Knock knock knock~" There was a sudden knock on the door. Cheng Jiawen frowned and got up to open the door.

Mother Cheng was standing at the door. Seeing Cheng Jiawen putting on his clothes while opening the door, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart: Could it be that these two have already had their wedding night before night?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look into the room. She didn't find any traces, but when she looked carefully, she found that Xu Qianjiao was still sleeping in the bed, and her face suddenly turned dark.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Cheng Jiawen felt a little annoyed when he saw his mother peeking in. He slightly turned sideways, blocking the door, and asked lightly.

Mother Cheng glared at him and said unhappily, "Why is Xu Qianjiao still sleeping? Tell her to get up and cook. It's unacceptable for a new daughter-in-law to be so lazy on her first day. Hurry up and tell her to get up. I'll be waiting for her in the kitchen."

Before Cheng Jiawen could say anything, she turned around and left.

Cheng Jiawen curled his lips and didn't intend to pay attention to Cheng's mother. When he turned around, he saw Xu Qianjiao had woken up and was sitting on the bed with a dazed look on her face. He walked over and rubbed her head, saying gently, "Don't worry about my mother. I'll go talk to her later."

Xu Qianjiao smiled slightly and said playfully, "It's okay, it's just cooking, I'll do it."
