Chen Dashun stole a glance and a thought popped into his head: if his wife were like this every day, it wouldn't be so bad.
"Look, isn't it beautiful now?"
Ye Xiaoxiao clapped her hands in satisfaction.
"Let me tell you, this pink color is so pretty, so many girls want to wear it but can't."
Look at those movie stars in the city, they're all into this now.
Li Yanhong looked at herself in the bronze mirror, then smiled through her tears: "Really? Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course."
Ye Xiaoxiao then added,
"Besides, I'm here with you. We'll take an oxcart, and I'll sit next to you."
Hurry up, there's still over an hour. Don't cause trouble when we get to the Chen family's house.
Hurry up, it's your wedding! Be happy! Give me a smile.
These words were perfectly worded, defusing the previous awkwardness.
Li Jianguo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, hurry up, this time it'll be safe riding in an oxcart."
The farce finally subsided, and everyone quickly made arrangements to set off.
Ye Xiaoxiao, the pregnant woman, actually sat next to the bride.
Li Yanhong seemed to have grasped at a straw, and remained quiet and obedient throughout the journey.
The oxcart slowly made its way to the Chen family's house, with the bicycle strapped to the back bouncing along.
Throughout the journey, Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes never left Li Yanhong, fearing that she might cause some trouble again.
This wasn't because she genuinely wanted to be a good sister-in-law; it was purely to complete the system's tasks.
If the system hadn't said that it wouldn't be over until everyone entered the Chen family's gate, she wouldn't have bothered with all this nonsense.
After traveling for a long time, the oxcart finally arrived at the Chen family's door.
We encountered several groups of people blocking the road with red ropes, all asking for wedding candy. Looking at the time, we realized there was only half an hour left.
Originally, they were going to cause some more trouble for the groom's family after getting out of the car.
"Yan Hong, hurry up and leave after they give you the red envelope. Stop fooling around, there's not enough time. Let's go inside first!"
Ye Xiaoxiao whispered a reminder in Li Yanhong's ear. Li Yanhong smiled and nodded.
Turning her head, she saw that Li Chenyang had somehow gotten close to her.
"Honey, you really did a great job today," Li Chenyang said with a grin. "You've got everything sorted out."
"What a load of rubbish."
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "You're quite good at avoiding trouble. As the older brother, you haven't helped a single thing with your sister's wedding."
Li Chenyang touched his nose and smiled sheepishly, "Isn't it because of you?"
The sun was almost at noon, but the number of people gathered in front of the Chen family courtyard was increasing.
"Why haven't they arrived yet?" Chen Dashun's mother, Liu Guihua, stood on the threshold, anxiously looking around.
"That's right, it's almost auspicious time." The neighbors chimed in.
There were already more than a dozen tables set up in the Chen family's courtyard.
The guests were getting impatient and started clamoring for dinner.
"What are you eating for? The bride hasn't even entered the house yet!" Chen Dashun's father, Chen Laocai, glared at the person who spoke.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the courtyard: "They're here! They're here!"
Several children cheered and ran outside. Old Chen quickly straightened his clothes and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't push, make way!"
A bullock cart came to a wobbly stop at the gate of the courtyard, followed by several bicycles. Chen Dashun and Li Yanhong sat on the bullock cart at the front.
"Oh my goodness, what's going on here?"
Liu Guihua has a sharp eye and immediately noticed that the bride and groom's clothes were not right.
She bought the bride's wedding dress; how could she not know that, especially with her son?
Chen Dashun was wearing a suit that was clearly a size too big, as if he were wearing someone else's clothes.
Li Yanhong was dressed in a pink Dacron outfit; what kind of bride wears that?
Several of Chen's sisters-in-law quickly stepped forward to help.
The original plan was to make a fuss and ask for red envelopes, but seeing that it was almost midnight, we skipped that step.
Li Yanhong was surprisingly cooperative, getting off the car easily and nimbly. Chen Dashun quickly followed and took Li Yanhong's hand.
"Da Shun, what's wrong with you?" Liu Guihua asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, it's just... I'm just feeling a little unwell," Chen Dashun said through gritted teeth.
Several of the Chen family's sisters-in-law gave each of the children on the bus a red paper packet, including Ye Xiaoxiao.
Everyone got off the bus. There was no further commotion, mainly because it was getting late. If things continued like this, it might cause more trouble.
"Come in, come in!" Old Chen called out. He tugged at his wife, "It's your wedding, don't have such a sour face."
While everyone was walking inside, one of the younger members of the family who had gone to fetch the bride whispered in Liu Guihua's ear, embellishing the story of what had happened at the Li family's house.
After hearing this, Liu Guihua's face turned green: "This Li family..."
"Stop talking," Old Chen pulled her aside, "You're already inside, don't let people laugh at you."
Li Yanhong was quiet this time and stopped making a fuss. She obediently followed her mother-in-law into the main room.
Ye Xiaoxiao sat at the table outside, picking at the food in her bowl while watching the commotion.
Several of her brothers-in-law surrounded her, their chopsticks flying as if they'd never seen meat before.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you," Ye Xiaoxiao said, amused.
The fourth brother, Li Chenyu, with his mouth full of meat, mumbled, "Sister-in-law, the Chen family's food is really delicious."
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "They paid for a top chef, of course it'll taste good! Slow down, aren't you ashamed?"
At that moment, a commotion arose from the main room.
It turns out that the Chen family was starting their wedding night pranks and blocking the door.
