Qin Yunjiao wanted to know the truth so badly that her legs moved before her brain and she walked straight towards the two-story building.
Feng Jingrou immediately stepped sideways to block Qin Yunjiao's way.
Qin Yunjiao was embarrassed and lied casually: "Um... Third Aunt, I want to go talk to Qin Ting and ask her to be my wedding sister tomorrow."
In Huaihua Village, when a wedding occurs, the groom's and bride's families must each send two unmarried women to accompany the bride, one to welcome the bride and the other to send off the bride.
Qin Yunjiao had already chosen someone to marry her younger sister, not Qin Ting. But in order to find out Qin Ting's true intentions, she was willing to change her partner and keep her by her side for a whole day.
There are red envelopes for sending younger sisters to get married, and the girls and their families are happy about it.
However, what she never expected was that her third aunt didn't even want the red envelope and decisively refused it.
Feng Jingrou: "Since ancient times, girls who were given as dowry sisters have always hoped to be as happy as the bride, marrying their ideal husband and living a happy married life."
"Qin Yunjiao, is your marriage worthy of envy? Is it worthy of girls emulating?"
"I don't want my daughter Qin Ting to be like you and marry off before her due age." (A new marriage law was drafted in 1980, raising the legal marriage age for women to 20.)
She didn't say anything more serious.
To be honest, she didn't want Qin Ting to follow Qin Yunjiao and sleep with men at such a young age!
But, what she said just now was enough to make Qin Yun feel embarrassed and angry.
When the aunts and grandmothers heard Feng Jingrou's words, it was as if they were hit on the head by a heavy hammer, and they woke up instantly.
They all have unmarried granddaughters in their families. If they go to celebrate Qin Yunjiao's marriage, wouldn't that be tantamount to encouraging their granddaughters to mess around with other men outside?
In the conservative 1980s, this kind of thing was a huge family scandal!
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! If Xiao Feng hadn't been sober, we would have made a mistake!"
"That's right, we can't encourage young girls to sleep with men. Come on, let's go get the gifts back, and no one should come to the wedding tomorrow!"
"Hongmei, look at what your family has done! You could have just held a secret ceremony, but now you're making such a fuss that everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Jiaojiao is getting married before she's even old enough. Our village will be implicated by your family and laughed at by the surrounding area for a whole year!"
After saying this, several aunts and sisters immediately went to Qin's house to take back the gifts they had sent, and pretended that they had never been there.
Fu Hongmei never imagined that her cleverness would backfire and she would end up shooting herself in the foot.
I hurriedly followed them home, but no matter how much I tried to please them, they wouldn't listen and refused to attend tomorrow's wedding no matter what.
Qin Yunjiao was also feeling very aggrieved and leaned on Fu Hongmei's shoulder wiping her tears.
She just wanted to lock in a wealthy husband in advance. Did she break the law? Why are they all talking about her?!
As she cried, she thought about how it was all Feng Jingrou's fault, and she hated her Third Aunt so much.
Zhou Cuifen brought Qin Feng and Zhou Xiang to congratulate them, but when she learned that Fu Hongmei didn't call her and went to find Feng Jingrou herself, she immediately became annoyed.
"Sister-in-law, you wanted to monopolize the knitting skills, you deserve to be scolded by Feng Jingrou and cry!"
