Luxury cars were parked outside the village, looking extravagant in the sunlight.
The villagers, young and old, all turned to look. A child threw a firecracker under the car, making a 'bang' sound. Immediately, the child was chased by his parents with a wooden stick and beaten severely.
"My ancestors, are you trying to scare me to death? Do you know how much that car costs? We couldn't afford to pay for it even if we sold everyone in our family."
Although rural people don't know much about cars, they can distinguish between good and bad cars by their appearance.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"I wonder what good fortune Pingzi had? She actually got such a wealthy son-in-law." A card-playing friend who often played cards with Zhong Ping remarked, then glanced sideways at his daughter, who was the same age as Zhong Tingyue and was gnawing on a chicken foot.
My own daughter not only doesn't have a career, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend.
He couldn't help but feel indignant: "Zhong Tingyue is the same age as you, and you two grew up together. How come there's such a big difference between you? You should learn more from Zhong Tingyue."
The young woman, while munching on a chicken foot, replied unhurriedly, "I can't learn it."
"Why can't you learn it? We all have two shoulders and one head."
The youngest daughter spat out a bone, glanced at her own father, and said, "Zhong Tingyue was born with unparalleled beauty. Is that my fault? Shouldn't it be yours?"
"Besides, everyone acknowledges that Zhong Tingyue has been intelligent since childhood, so why are you comparing me to her?"
The card player's lips twitched, but he was helpless.
My old daughter is right.
From a young age, Zhong Tingyue was the "other people's child" in the eyes of the villagers, excelling in every aspect.
The old woman watched Chu Fang bustling around, stroking her chin, and said, "Although I can't compare to Zhong Tingyue, I'm still quite competitive in marrying a man who's even better than Chu Fang."
The card player left in anger.
My own daughter has gone mad.
... ...
Snap snap snap... ...
The sound of firecrackers outside reached the Zhong family's courtyard.
Zhong Tingyue immediately guessed that Chu Fang and his group had arrived. She quickly ran outside the house, craned her neck, and looked in the direction of the firecrackers.
That appearance was very similar to the Waiting-for-Husband Stone that Meng Jiangnu transformed into.
Upon seeing this, Yang Meina said directly, "Zhong Tingyue, look at yourself. Do you even have a human face? For a man, you're no longer as aloof as before. I'm ashamed of you."
"What's so good about Chu Fang?"
Zhong Tingyue only saw smoke rising and could not see Chu Fang. She slowly withdrew her gaze and said, "Chu Fang is good in every way."
"Bullshit!" Yang Meina rolled her eyes. "To put it bluntly, Chu Fang is not even a tenth as good as my Wang Wenhao."
"Is your Wang Wenhao as handsome as Mr. Chu? Is your Wang Wenhao as outstanding as Mr. Chu? Is your Wang Wenhao a better cook than Mr. Chu?" Zhong Tingyue retorted to her childhood friend.
These two childhood friends started listing their own partners' strengths and belittling their partner's weaknesses.
Yang Meina was speechless after being confronted by Zhong Tingyue, and shouted, "My Wang Wenhao can eat shit, would your Chu Fang dare to?"
Wang Wenhao, standing next to him, gaped open.
How come I didn't know I had this ability?
Zhong Tingyue shrugged and smiled brightly: "My Mr. Chu wouldn't dare, you win."
Yang Meina raised her chin, beaming with pride.
"Alright, alright, you two are childhood friends, arguing over a man will make you a laughing stock." He Yi smoothed over the conflict between the two. "If you ask me, my Wu Di is the best."
"Go to hell."
In an instant, the three sisters started arguing.
Wang Wenhao and Wu Di looked at each other, both seeing a sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with; the old saying is so true.
... ...
Uncle Zhong Tingyue arranged for the Chu family to stay at a neighbor's house in the village.
The sun slowly set, casting a crimson glow on the west.
The Chu family sat around the table, enjoying their supper in a harmonious atmosphere.
Chu Yongquan said with a smile, "I have something to do tomorrow, so everyone can drink, but not too much. When we get back to our hometown, we'll all have a good drink together."
Chu Fang drank a few cups with everyone and then stopped. He went upstairs and stood at the third-floor window, gazing in the direction of the Zhong family's house.
With the naked eye, one could see that the Zhong family courtyard was filled with tables, and guests were eating, creating a lively atmosphere.
The custom in Zhong Tingyue's family is to hold two wedding banquets, one tonight and the other tomorrow morning.
"I wonder what Ms. Zhong is doing right now?" Chu Fang wondered to himself.
He had not seen Ms. Zhong for nearly ten days.
As if they were telepathically connected, Zhong Tingyue sent him a message.
[Wang Shu: Mr. Chu.]
[Solo Queue Player in Love: What's wrong?]
[Wang Shu: What are you doing?]
[Solo player in dating mode: Taking off, less talk.]
[Wang Shu: Isn't it a bit early to take off now? Can the nose of the plane be pulled up? Is the flight status correct? Is the navigation on? Is the direction aligned? Do you need me to be your co-pilot?]
[Solo player in a dating game: Come on, you're not helping me, you're affecting my flight performance.]
[Solo Queue Player in Love: I've seen through your scheme.JpG]
[Wang Shu: Oh, if that's how it is, then forget it.]
[Wang Shu: Then I'll go back.]
[Solo Dating Player: ???]
[Solo queue player in a dating game: What does that mean?]
[Wang Shu: I sneaked out and am standing right outside your door.]
Chu Fang jumped up and quickly opened the door, where he saw Zhong Tingyue standing outside. She was wearing a long black dress, as black as ink, and a pair of oversized sunglasses that covered her picturesque face.
The door opened, and Zhong Tingyue quickly squeezed in, saying, "Quickly close the door, quickly close the door, don't let anyone see us."
Chu Fang closed the door, turned around, and asked, "Why are you here?"
According to custom, men and women cannot meet before marriage.
"It's been so long since I've seen you. I've been wanting to see you." Zhong Tingyue took off her sunglasses, revealing a flawless face. Her eyes were like pools of autumn water, lively and charming as they moved. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing an intoxicating smile.
"Zhong Tingyue, you are really bold."
"Then I'll leave?" Zhong Tingyue pretended to leave, but Chu Fang hugged her and drew the curtains.
Night fell, and moonlight streamed into the room like water.
Chu Fang rubbed his palm against Zhong Tingyue's arm, feeling her skin as smooth as milk.
The two lay quietly, silent, but their heartbeats were synchronized.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhong Tingyue got up and said, "No, I can't stay here any longer. I want to go home."
"No, let's play a little longer," Chu Fang said reluctantly.
Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes: "Dude, I'm getting married tomorrow."
"It's okay, I'm getting married tomorrow too, it won't matter."
"Go to hell..." Zhong Tingyue kicked him, then put on her clothes, secretly opened the door, looked around, saw no one, and quietly went downstairs.
Just as they came downstairs, they bumped into the wedding party coming upstairs. It was such a coincidence that the two sides met.
The two stood there, looking at each other.
Rong Shunji put his hand on Shao Liang's shoulder, lowered his head, and said, "Shao Liang, help me up, I think I'm drunk."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wedding party was drunk. They lowered their heads, some swayed, and some even almost bumped into the wall.
Seeing this, Zhong Tingyue suppressed her immense shyness and left the place with lightning speed.
Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue leave, the group of people who had been drunk immediately looked up, exchanged glances, and then revealed knowing expressions.
Upstairs, Chu Fang rested his hands behind his head, gazing out the window at the night sky.
The moon is exceptionally bright tonight.
... ...
The next day.
Chu Fangtian got up before dawn and began to think about what he needed to do that day.
"First, I need to pick up Zhong Tingyue, then I need to get to her hometown by noon, and then the wedding ceremony will begin..."
"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we cannot slack off."
Chu Fang let out a deep breath: "After today, Zhong Tingyue won't be able to escape."
He cheered himself up and then began to busy himself with many things.
