Chapter 23 The grudge between the Xie and Lu families



Lin Xiangyi collected the money and walked out. Xie Qingxiao and a group of relatives and friends had already packed her luggage and dowry.

Lin Huihui's dowry was relatively small, so she had moved out long ago. When Lu Dingyuan saw Lin Shan coming out, he pulled Lin Huihui over to say goodbye to Lin Shan.

According to age order, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi should have left first.

But Lin Shan also knew that Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui were very dissatisfied with him, so he did not stop them when they wanted to leave first.

However, the relatives and friends of the Lin family felt that it was inappropriate and asked them to wait for a while.

Of course, Lu Dingyuan didn't listen.

Lin Xiangyi didn't care. After Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui's wedding procession left, she sat on the back seat of Xie Qingxiao's bicycle surrounded by the crowd and headed to Xie's house amid the sound of firecrackers.

The two wedding processions were walking in the same direction, one after the other, but the atmospheres were completely different.

Lu Dingyuan and Lin Huihui, who took the lead, both had long faces, and the people behind them naturally couldn't be happy either.

The Xie family team following behind, as if they had won a battle, carried the spoils, which were Lin Xiangyi's dowry, and each of them smiled like a flower.

While walking on the mountain road, Zhang Pengfei started to sing: "The mountain wind blows gently over the hills, and the magpies chirp on the branches. Today my family is getting married, and everyone is gathering happily..."

The team quickly followed the rhythm and sang along: "The gongs and drums roared and shook the four directions... The bride shyly waited for her husband..."

Zhang Pengfei and his men rode their bikes following Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. When they sang "Oh my, the bride is beautiful, as pretty as a flower, jade and a fairy," he grinned at Lin Xiangyi. When they sang "Oh my, the groom is smiling, he is so happy to have a lovely wife..." he winked at Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao smiled and let them tease him.

Instead, Lin Xiangyi laughed and scolded: "You guys are crazy!"

"Sister-in-law, we are not crazy. We are just singing out my brother's feelings," Zhang Pengfei said with a smile, and asked Xie Qingxiao: "Isn't that right, Brother Xiao?"

"Get lost!" Xie Qingxiao couldn't help but curse with a smile, "You deserve a beating, don't you?"

"I got it right. You're getting angry and embarrassed. Haha," Zhang Pengfei laughed loudly. The people at the back of the team didn't understand what was going on, but that didn't stop them from laughing while singing.

Lin Xiangyi felt a little embarrassed by their teasing, and urged Xie Qingxiao, "Ride faster and get rid of them."

"Then hold me tight!" Xie Qingxiao said.

Lin Xiangyi hugged Xie Qingxiao's waist tightly. Xie Qingxiao quickened his pace, moving away from the group of people behind him, which again attracted their teasing laughter.

It takes half an hour to ride a bicycle from Lin's home to Longjing Village, but there are many people in the wedding procession, some ride bicycles, some ride ox carts, and some walk. They also have to help pull the dowry and carry the luggage, so it took more than an hour to reach the village.

In Longjing Village, because the Xie family and the Lu family were holding weddings at the same time, both were grand celebrations, and the whole village was having fun together, and it was very lively.

Lu Dingyuan had arranged his marriage three months ago, and his mother had long since boasted that she would invite everyone in the village to the banquet.

Although Xie Qingxiao of the Xie family held the banquet in a hurry, it was not vague at all.

Every corner of the house was cleaned, Xie Qingxiao's room was repainted, and festive window grilles were pasted on the windows and doors.

After discussing the number of seats, the Xie family did not compete with the Lu family. They just followed the village custom and invited one person from each household. They booked twenty-six tables and focused their attention on the meat and dishes.

Xie's eldest son and two married daughters all came back today and were busy helping to entertain the guests.

Mother Xie calculated the time and thought that the wedding procession was almost due, so she went to the door.

I happened to meet a group of children running over happily, shouting, "The bride is coming! The bride is coming!"

The guests in the Xie family's yard and the people from the Lu family heard it and rushed out to greet them.

I don’t know how it happened, but Xie’s mother was squeezed together with Lu’s mother.

There have always been conflicts between the Xie and Lu families, but they have never been to the point of being irreconcilable. As long as there are no conflicts of interest, they usually live in peace with each other.

But the Xie family and the Lu family have never gotten along. The biggest reason was that when Xie's mother and Lu's mother were young, the matchmaker originally wanted to introduce Lu's mother to Xie's father, but Xie's father fell in love with Xie's mother and married her.

Mother Lu felt that she had lost to Mother Xie and had no good face towards her.

Xie's mother was not one to be bullied, so after a few exchanges, the two of them settled their feud.

There have been constant frictions over the years. Today my clothes flew to your house and you picked up my clothes and tore them. Tomorrow your chicken flew to my house and I killed the chicken and ate its meat... There are countless things like this.

People living near their two homes treated the conflict between the two families as a TV series.

However, in the past few months, Mother Lu has been in a particularly good mood.

She and her mother Xie raised four children in total. Her mother Xie gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and she gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

But her first three sons did not live better than Xie's first three sons. Only her youngest son Lu Dingyuan could compare with Xie's youngest son Xie Qingxiao.

Xie Qingxiao dropped out of school before he even finished high school, but Lu Dingyuan not only graduated from high school, he also got a job, found a wife from the city, and brought a generous dowry. Didn't that make Lu's mother happy and proud?

She acted as if she was seeking revenge and showed off in front of Xie's mother.

A few days ago, she learned that Xie Qingxiao was marrying Lin Huihui's sister Lin Xiangyi, and she even asked Xie's mother about Lin Xiangyi's dowry.

The Xie family themselves didn’t know. Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn’t tell Lu’s mother, so Xie’s mother scolded Lu’s mother.

Mother Lu was extremely happy after being scolded.

I feel that Lin Xiangyi definitely didn't bring any dowry, otherwise why would Xie's mother scold her?
