Ye Xiaoxiao wasn't angry when she heard this; instead, she laughed.
“I don’t mind. I’m getting married in winter, and I’ll be wearing a bright red coat. Go and ask your uncle if you should wear it.”
Li Yaqin and Li Yanhong had never gotten along. Upon hearing her sister-in-law's words, she burst out laughing, quickly covered her mouth, and ran away.
A short while later, Li Yamei also ran back.
“Sister-in-law, didn’t you see? The Chen family was criticizing Yan Hong. They said she should have just taken the oxcart. She knows Chen Dashun is injured, yet she’s still being so dramatic.”
"Oh, now I know where he learned this affectation from." Ye Xiaoxiao became interested. "What about Chen Dashun? What did he say?"
"Hmph, Chen Dashun hasn't said a word. He seems genuinely angry now, but I wonder whose anger he's angry at."
The eldest uncle is about to send his older brother to borrow an oxcart from the village chief, and he wants Yan Hong to go home and find a clean red dress to wear first.
As Li Yamei spoke, she pulled Ye Xiaoxiao into her room, because everyone was about to return, and Li Yanhong was crying and covered in mud as she walked back.
"Third brother, first help your brother-in-law change into the new clothes your mother made for you."
Ye Xiaoxiao could hear her father-in-law's voice outside while she was inside the house.
He was secretly delighted. This time, he had not only offended the Chen family, but even the third brother would be angry.
It's easy for a mother-in-law to make a new outfit for her third son, because that outfit is a suit specially made for his future wedding.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Chen Dashun's family had a crush on a girl from town. That girl's family is better off than ours, and she has fewer siblings, but she's not good-looking." Li Yamei whispered in Ye Xiaoxiao's ear.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but recall the original plot—no wonder, Li Yanhong married into that family.
They separated their households even earlier than that; it's just that the mother-in-law never approved of them.
But how could Li Yanhong, who looks like that, be prettier than that girl? What must she look like?
Seeing his younger brother's unhappy expression, Li Chenyang nudged his shoulder and said, "What's wrong? We'll have Mom and Dad get you a new set later."
The third brother then found the new clothes in his room. He hadn't worn them yet.
The two newlyweds changed into new clothes. Of course, Chen Dashun was wearing a new suit, while Li Yanhong searched for a long time before finally finding a decent pink polyester short-sleeved shirt.
She didn't have any bright red clothes, but she was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, and her red makeup was all streaked with embarrassment. It was terrifying.
When Ye Xiaoxiao came out, she saw Li Yanhong wearing a pink dress. She almost burst out laughing.
What bride doesn't wear bright red? What's the significance of this pink?
"Oh my, why are you wearing pink? I heard that pink is only worn by people getting married for the second time."
Before Ye Xiaoxiao even realized it, people were already talking about it.
If there's one, there are two.
"That's right, I heard that when the widow Sun from the next village remarried, she wore pink."
[Task: Persuade Li Yanhong to get on the bus quickly so as not to miss the auspicious time.]
While Ye Xiaoxiao was enjoying the show, she received a task from the system.
What do you mean? Is Li Yanhong going to keep causing trouble?
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't really care; it wasn't like she was getting married. Li Yanhong could choose to get married or not.
But it's different when there's a mission.
[Host, if Li Yanhong doesn't get married, you're in for a rough time. Someone like her, even Chen Dashun didn't marry her.]
He can find someone else and get married quickly. Li Yanhong is a young woman, and she had an ambiguous relationship with Chen Dashun before marriage.
If she keeps making a scene and refuses to get married, she'll have to take care of all her younger siblings. And you'll have to argue with her every day after that.
Now that Ye Xiaoxiao has accepted the mission, she can no longer hide in the house. As soon as she came out, she heard everyone's discussions.
"This is bad luck, it hasn't even started yet," Aunt Wang sighed, shaking her head.
The whole courtyard was filled with people watching Chen Dashun and Li Yanhong fall into the mud; it was quite a sight.
Li Yanhong's red clothes and pants were completely covered in mud, and her originally lively face was also messed up, making her look like a big tabby cat.
Chen Dashun's new suit was in even worse shape; the burns on his back were bad enough, but now he had to fall flat on his face.
"What are we going to do?" Liu Juan stamped her feet anxiously. "It's already past ten o'clock, and if we don't leave soon, we'll miss the auspicious time!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law," Aunt Sun Xiuxiu comforted her. "Let's change the bride and groom's clothes first. Otherwise, it'll become a laughing stock."
But when Li Yanhong heard that she had to change clothes, she immediately exploded:
"What are you going to change? My beautiful wedding dress is all ruined now, and all I have left is this pink one. I don't even have a bright red one anymore."
I don't want to get married!
Li Yanhong also heard others say that people only wear pink when they are remarried.
"What are you saying? It's come to this point and you're still not married? Do you think this is child's play?"
Liu Juan was both angry and anxious, "Yan Hong, don't make trouble, this is such a joyous day..."
A lot more people came into the courtyard to watch the excitement, and I don't know who it was that mentioned pink again.
"Yes, yes, the widow in the village next to my mother's house wore pink when she remarried."
"This is bad luck..."
"The bride tripped and fell as soon as she stepped out the door, this...this..."
Hearing these words, tears streamed down Li Yanhong's face, washing away her smudged makeup and making her look like a scribble.
"Waaaaah... I don't want to get married anymore! I'm not getting married!"
Even Chen Dashun was speechless at this point, standing there looking embarrassed. His wife was already causing such a commotion before she even entered the house; how was he going to live with her in the future?
