The sachet in my hand is worth a ton of gold.
Layer upon layer of huge waves broke out in Gu Qingsheng's heart.
She took the sachet and smiled as if nothing had happened
"Thank you, Doctor Wen. I appreciate your kindness."
Wen Yu looked calm and started to explain the rules of Bian Fishing Village to her.
"He's clearly heartbroken, yet he pretends to be indifferent. What a heartbreaking man!"
Miao Lanlan sighed.
No matter what Miao Lanlan said, Gu Qingsheng just felt it was unlikely.
"Don't think too much. How could Doctor Wen..."
Miao Lanlan had long expected that she would be stupid, so she stopped talking and let Gu Qingsheng deceive himself.
At the same time, at the village chief's house.
A candle was lit, the village chief's face flushed from drinking, and he poured another glass for Liu Yanqiu who was sitting opposite him, and burped.
"I really didn't expect that you could actually... could actually... hiccup... marry such a beautiful wife. Now you've gained respect in the village..."
Helplessly putting down the wine glass in his hand, Liu Yanqiu shook his head and pretended to help him
"Uncle Liu, you've drunk too much. Go to bed early today and stop drinking."
"That won't work."
Uncle Liu snatched the wine glass away from him, and looked at Liu Yanqiu nervously, his face flushed red.
"I'm happy today. I finally got the chance to drink a little more. Please don't disturb me!"
He seemed to have made up his mind. After saying this, he no longer hesitated and started drinking from the jar of wine. Liu Yanqiu wanted to stop him but was pushed aside in disgust.
After drinking a jar of wine, the village chief became even more drunk
"Ever since your parents passed away, we've felt incredibly guilty towards you. We had planned to wait until you were close to success before considering marrying you and having children. But you've proven yourself to be a successful person, and now you have a child!"
As he spoke, he laughed twice, his thoughts seemed to fly far away.
"That girl is a good girl. You must treat her well. When the time comes, you will..."
The sound gradually became quieter. Liu Yanqiu listened quietly to Uncle Liu and watched him slowly lower his head, followed by bursts of snoring.
Liu Yanqiu looked a little lonely under the candlelight. He took out a blanket and covered Uncle Liu with it, then whispered to him:
"My parents' situation is something that no one can change. You were not around at the time, so I don't blame you."
"And she..."
After a long silence, he looked at the sleeping face of the village chief, his eyes dimmed a little, and he smiled softly.
"I will try harder, Uncle Liu, and give you a real marriage next time."
…
The next day, at dawn, people started beating drums and gongs in front of Aunt Li's door.
A row of red sedan chairs were parked in the middle. The village chief had specially asked someone to go out of Bianyu Village to borrow them, also for the sake of the customs of outsiders like Gu Qingsheng.
"Actually, getting married in our village is very simple. We just send the girl home."
Aunt Wang from next door was helping Gu Qingsheng braid his hair and said with a smile:
"You are the first girl in our village to ride in a sedan chair, and those girls outside are envious."
Gu Qingsheng smiled
"Thank you so much, Village Chief, for taking so much trouble for me."
"By the way, has Doctor Wen Yu arrived?"
She clenched the sachet in her hand, and for some reason, she felt a little nervous.
"Doctor Wen Yu arrived soon. I heard that he fainted again last night for some unknown reason. I thought he couldn't come this morning, but he ended up dragging himself to the village chief's door early in the morning."
"Fainted?"
She looked at Aunt Wang in confusion, she was a little surprised.
I seemed fine when I was explaining Bian Fishing Village to myself yesterday, but then I suddenly fell ill.
She frowned and felt some pearl hairpins in her hair jingle.
"But it's okay now."
Aunt Wang laughed twice, and there was a glimmer in her eyes when she looked at Gu Qingsheng.
"Don't worry, it won't delay the girl's marriage. Doctor Wen Yu always keeps his word. Besides, his health has improved a lot recently, and he is recovering very quickly."
"If the girl doesn't get married soon, her belly will get big, so it's inevitable that she'll be anxious. Don't worry."
In the eyes of others, Gu Qingsheng was anxious about his marriage, which was inevitable.
After all, she is a pregnant woman.
Gu Qingsheng had a lot of words to say but had to swallow them down, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Is the bride ready?"
Aunt Li was dressed very festively today. She looked very young in a brand new red dress, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have decreased a bit.
I did beat Liu Yanqiu the day before yesterday, but today I am really happy.
She walked up to Gu Qingsheng and circled around him, her eyes brightening with admiration.
"Mr. Wang, your craftsmanship is the best in this whole village. You made our Qingsheng's hair so beautifully."
As if she was afraid of neglecting Gu Qingsheng, Aunt Li patted her hands again and looked at her with satisfaction.
"It's still the water in the capital that nourishes people. I have never seen a beauty like our Qingsheng. This appearance is really iconic."
Another sigh
"Really, that brat got away with it."
Looking at Gu Qingsheng, Aunt Li's eyes were very distant, as if she was looking at another person through her.
"If she had grown up safely, she might be able to wear a wedding dress and become the most beautiful bride now..."
"Why!"
When she was halfway through her words, Aunt Wang poked her with a strange look.
"Old Li! What are you talking about!"
Gu Qingsheng's face gradually became strange
"What does this mean? Who is she..."
Aunt Wang quickly smiled and said
"No, no, this old Li is just talking in his sleep."
"Oh, look at my memory. Hurry up, don't miss the time. The sedan chair is waiting outside."
After that, she pushed Gu Qingsheng out. Aunt Li also reacted and smiled awkwardly.
"That's right. I've been dreaming for most of the day. Maybe I didn't get enough rest yesterday. Qingsheng, go out and take a look. They are all waiting for you."
Being half-pushed and half-pushed by two people to the door, Gu Qingsheng covered the veil on her head, and the muttering voices of the two people behind her came
"Didn't I tell you not to mention her..."
"I was fascinated for a while. Qingsheng is really the same as at that time..."
"Shut up, don't say anything, be careful not to let the village chief hear it..."
The next words were not clear.
Perhaps there really is some secret in Bian Fishing Village, but she is the only one who doesn't know it.
Gu Qingsheng had never been curious about such things. As soon as she opened the door and stepped out, countless flowers suddenly fell towards her.
Waves of floral fragrance came towards him. The girls who came to see him yesterday each held a basket filled with flowers and kept sprinkling them at Gu Qingsheng's feet.
"Bride! Beautiful as a picture! Flowers are scattered at your feet!"
"Red as fire! Voice like song! Life after marriage will be full of happiness!"
