After receiving Grandma Li's approval, Huo Haoshi turned and went to Huo Yue's side.
"Stop right there, don't push or shove, stand outside the bench."
"Hehe, brother, please answer my questions carefully. There will be a punishment if you answer incorrectly." After they were all standing in line, Huo Yue slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Okay, ask away," Huo Haoshi said, his face beaming like a peacock displaying its plumage.
"Ahem, may I ask, after you get married, whose word will you listen to in your little family?"
When Huo Yue first saw these questions, she found them unbelievable, but now she still gritted her teeth and read them aloud.
“In our family, from now on, my wife will be in charge.” Hearing Huo Yue’s question, everyone gasped. As grown men, how could they let a woman run the household? Their tempers flared up immediately, but before they could vent, they heard Huo Haoshi’s answer.
Huo Haoshi was still very happy. He didn't get upset about the issue. Instead, he felt that it was right for his wife to be in charge at home.
"Okay, the second question is, who will manage the money and ration coupons in the house from now on?"
"The wife is in charge"
The third question: Who does the housework?
I will do it.
These three questions were increasingly tricky, and the listeners' expressions grew increasingly sour with each question. However, the Huo brothers stood ramrod straight, still smiling, showing no sign of being upset by the questions.
"Alright, I've finished asking my questions. Now, it's up to the bride to see if she's satisfied with your answers. If she is, please open the door."
Huo Yue put away the note, moved the stool aside, and stood next to Grandma Li, giving up her seat.
"You! Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your brother? Be careful you don't get a beating when you get back." But despite saying that, Grandma Li was still very happy after hearing Huo Hao's answer. She knew that the Huo family members were reasonable people. Even if it was just a joke, as elders, they wouldn't interfere too much.
"Don't worry, the problem was given to me by Ruan Ruan, and she's the one who told me to ask. If my mother asks, I'll just say I was instructed by her. Tell her to go find her daughter-in-law if she has any questions, hahaha."
Thinking about this, Huo Yue couldn't help but laugh.
Inside the room, Ruan Ruan saw that Li Huan was so moved by Huo Hao's answer that she could hardly hold back her tears, so she went over and opened the door herself.
As soon as the door opened, Huo Haoshi walked straight toward Li Huan, not even sparing a glance at the person beside him.
"Huanhuan, I've come to pick you up."
Then, he bent down and gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, shielding Li Huan completely with his body. He didn't want anyone to see Li Huan like this. After she calmed down, he carried her out.
After placing Li Huan on the bicycle, everyone finally got a good look at her. They were all stunned. She was so beautiful! If they had known Li Huan would look this good, they would have made their move sooner. Huo Haoshi got off too easy.
They thought this way without considering why Huo Haoshi could win Li Huan's heart. Putting aside the bride price, their parents would never have agreed to the sincerity shown by the Huo family.
Huo Haoshi ignored what they thought and drove Li Huan away. The rest of the people followed and headed towards the Huo family. After watching them leave, Huo Yue and Ruan Ruan also helped Grandma Li and carried the Li family's wedding candies as they walked towards the Huo family.
Along the way, Ruan Ruan and Huo Yue gave out two pieces of wedding candy to everyone they met. By the time they arrived at the Huo family home, their bags of candy were empty.
Just then, Huo Haoshi returned after driving Li Huan around the village twice. The two of them went up to Li Huan and led him into the house.
When the time came, the newlyweds exchanged vows in front of the officiant, and then the banquet began. After eating, the rest of the Huo family was exhausted. This was only because the weather was good today. If it had been bad, with rain or snow, it would have been even more exhausting.
After dinner, Huo Haoshi rode his bicycle with Li Huan to get their marriage certificate. The others returned all the things they had borrowed, cleaned up the yard, and went inside to rest.
"Brother Haoshi, you didn't have to answer Yueyue's question today." She was happy to hear his answer, but she didn't want him to lose face in front of others.
"What's wrong with that? I don't think there's anything wrong with those questions. Besides, in our family, the wife is the head of the household after marriage, so what's there to be afraid of!" Huo Haoshi knew her concerns, but he was taught from a young age to take good care of girls. He took care of his younger sister when he was young and his wife when he grew up.
"What if they gossip about you everywhere?" Even as a child, Li Huan knew the power of gossip, and she had seen many men who valued their reputation highly, even resorting to violence against their wives and children if they lost face in public. She knew Huo Haoshi wouldn't do that, but she didn't want him to be pointed at and told he was afraid of his wife and not a real man.
"Let them say what they want. They can talk, and it's none of our business. We just need to live our own lives well. Don't worry about anything else. With me here, you can rest assured."
"Huanhuan, from the moment you agreed to marry me, you can rely on me without worry. Just remember, I, Huo Haoshi, will never make you sad or upset, okay? Don't think about or worry about anything else."
"good"
Hearing Huo Haoshi's words, Li Huan was very happy. She looked around to make sure no one was on the road, then hugged his waist tightly and rested her head on his back. This feeling made her feel very safe.
After the two came out with a thin marriage certificate, they stood in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Huo Haoshi hugged her tightly.
"Young man, I know you're happy to get married, but could you take your wife home first and enjoy yourselves in bed together? I've been watching you two ever since you came out. If it weren't for your wedding day, I would have sent you to get a good talking to."
Just as they were acting recklessly, an old woman wearing a red armband interrupted them. This old woman was there specifically because people come to get their marriage certificates every day, but many people take advantage of the fact that it's their special day to kiss and hug each other without regard for the occasion. After receiving many complaints, she was specifically chosen to be here.
Hearing the old woman's words, the two immediately felt embarrassed. Huo Haoshi quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too carried away and caused you trouble. We'll leave now, we'll leave now."
"It's getting late, let's go." Who doesn't like to look at a handsome man and a beautiful woman? The old lady was no exception. Seeing that they were good-looking, the old lady spoke up to remind them that if they were ugly, she would take them back and teach them a lesson.
Seeing that the old lady was very kind, Huo Haocheng took a handful of wedding candies from his pocket and put them in her hand. "Grandma, these are our wedding candies. Have some sweets with them. We'll head back now."
Afterwards, Huo Haoshi drove Li Huan away from the place quickly.
