Chapter 6: When she is happy, the whole family will be happy
"Xiao Jiang, you can't get out of bed, sit back down!"
The aunt that Gu Jiaoxia invited pushed Jiang Zhen back to sit on the wedding quilt, and smiled as she explained in Jiang Zhen's ear: "You are getting married for the second time, don't you know the customs? The groom will have to put your shoes on you and carry you downstairs in one breath. You can't put your feet on the ground."
Jiang Zhen smiled awkwardly: "I know, I forgot because I was afraid that Gu Liancheng and Dr. Qi would fight over who would enter the building first."
My aunt said, "That shouldn't be the case, but the Qi family is so strange. Why didn't Dr. Qi come to pick up the bride, but his eldest brother came instead? Did Dr. Qi have an accident? How about I go out and take a look?"
"Well, go and have a look."
The Qi family was in a stalemate, and Gu Liancheng's wedding party could not come up. Jiang Zhen had no taboos and didn't mind what time they went downstairs, but she wanted to see the one-eyed Qi Junshan. He was coming to pick up the bride today, so she could see him.
…
Downstairs, Qi Junshan, who came to pick up the bride, said confidently: "The two families have been discussing my marriage. How could your family think it was my brother? My mother and Gu Liancheng's elder sister have been at odds for more than ten years. The neighbors all know about it. How could it be possible that the person Gu Liancheng broke off the engagement with would marry her most beloved youngest son? If I wasn't one-eyed, if An Xiuqing hadn't run to my house and said she had a crush on me for a long time, my family wouldn't have discussed this marriage."
He paused, and said in a mocking tone: "Anyway, your family has regretted the marriage once, so you can regret it again before leaving. I can be as generous as Gu Liancheng, and we can each get married in the future without interfering with each other."
An Qihui felt so humiliated that she said that the Qi family agreed too readily, which was not like Ji Fengmei's character.
But she didn't expect that the Qi family was so cruel and used despicable means to replace one with another and designed to make her sister marry Dr. Qi's one-eyed elder brother.
Not to mention that he was already disabled in one eye, even if he was a healthy person before, An Qihui would not be willing to do so.
Fancheng was only liberated this year. Before this year, Qi Junshan's business was not a legitimate one. You shouldn't marry a man like him!
"Too despicable, cancel the engagement now, and get out of here, Qi family."
Qi Junshan achieved his goal. Breaking off the engagement was the Qi family's goal. The engagement was broken off today. No matter how shameless An Xiuqing was, his brother would not be able to get close to her. Gu Liancheng broke off the engagement, and she still wanted to marry his brother? The Qi family is not so cowardly.
Before leaving, Qi Junshan did not forget to step on her feet: "This is the second time you've broken off the engagement, Sister An. Unless your sister doesn't marry again, she may not be able to meet someone as easy to talk to as me and the Gu family for the third time."
An Qihui suffered a great loss. She broke off the engagement with the Gu family. It was the An family who took the initiative. She didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly.
If the Qi family didn't want to, they could have just refused. Why did they have to do this? They humiliated her if she didn't marry. This is so vicious.
…
When Gu Liancheng saw Qi Junshan coming, he understood the true meaning of the note from Uncle An.
If Uncle An already knew about the Qi family's vicious intentions, he should have said it clearly. How could he stop them with just a vague note?
Uncle An failed to stop the incident and did not make amends afterwards. He was so cruel to his own daughters and allowed them to repay the Gu family's kindness. Gu Liancheng was not surprised.
Whether the An family and the Qi family cancel the engagement or get married is other people's business, and Gu Liancheng did not dare to delay the time to pick up the bride.
His eldest sister said that he must not miss the time and must go out at 8:08, so that the whole day will go smoothly, the marriage will go smoothly, and the married life will be harmonious. If he misses the time by even a little bit, his eldest sister will nag him for the rest of his life.
He himself didn't want Jiang Zhen to suffer any grievances. Although it was a partnership agreement, he still had to take it to heart and attach importance to it.
Gu Liancheng called out to his comrades who were in the bride-picking group: "The An family can't make a choice for a while, I can't wait, let's go up first."
Gu Liancheng's comrades were waiting for him to speak, and they rushed forward, wanting to see what his sister-in-law, who had agreed to all the requirements of the agreement, looked like. She must be a beautiful and kind person. They all joked, "Sister-in-law must be a very nice person."
These days, the old house is being decorated for the new house, and Jiang Zhen has taken on most of the physical work. She gets along well with the four children, and Gu Pan is even more attached to her. The two, big and small, whisper a lot to each other behind everyone's backs, which makes Jiang Tang jealous. Gu Pan gives half of her treasured New Year's money to Jiang Tang and handles the relationship between the sisters well.
The eldest sister and brother-in-law were relieved that they could find Jiang Zhen to be their partner. Gu Liancheng was very glad: "I am lucky. She doesn't get angry easily. But we are getting married today, so we dare not challenge her bottom line. Let's go."
"Come on, hurry up, don't push, let Gu Liancheng walk in front." Everyone rushed forward.
An Qihui suddenly blocked the corridor and refused to allow the Gu family's wedding party to go up: "Gu Liancheng, you can't get married today!"
…
The An family picks on the weak, but the Gu family is not a weak one. They are just being used by her to seek repayment for a favor. The An family's uncle is not dead, so there is no such thing as repaying a favor, and they don't owe anyone a life debt.
An Qihui is not a reasonable person. If she continues to argue, it will take a whole day to finish. Gu Liancheng escalated the matter to the point of calling the police with just one sentence.
"You won't let me get married because your sister isn't happy. Is there anyone in the An family who can speak human language and understand the situation? If not, I'm calling the police!"
Once the police station arrives, they will definitely arrest the troublemakers. The An family has already lost face today, so there is no way they can afford to go to the police station and embarrass themselves.
Several older relatives of the An family* knew that An Qihui wanted Gu Liancheng to go and pick up her sister to marry her. Isn’t that a fantasy?
Even if they asked for repayment for the favor, the Gu family would never agree to such an outrageous thing.
Gu Liancheng's marriage was arranged by himself and he would not break the contract. Besides, the girl Jiang Zhen upstairs, although she looks kind, she also has a temper. If she goes to the company and makes a scene, several people in the An family will lose their jobs.
Don't make a fuss about things that are against you. It will only make you suffer and there will be no other result.
The elders pulled An Qihui aside and advised her to stop making trouble: "Why do you care about Gu Liancheng's family? Now is the time to make a decision with the Qi family."
"Let Gu Liancheng leave the bride upstairs and go home instead of picking her up? I am ashamed of such an unrealistic act."
"If you continue to make trouble, we will all leave and leave you two sisters to deal with it."
…
An Qihui continued to cry and refused to give up: "My father died to save Gu Liancheng's parents. The son should pay for the father's debt. Why shouldn't he pay it back?"
Gu Liancheng's comrades were unhappy: "We were all willing to die for our brothers on the battlefield. My old squad leader... he also died to save me. This favor should be repaid, but no family member has been like you, squeezing people to death for more than ten years. What's more, when Captain Gu's parents were alive, they treated your sisters better than their own children. His parents are gone now. How many generations do you want Captain Gu's family to repay?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Liancheng directly said what he was sure of: "I have already found out that Uncle An is not dead. I have no right to mention the debt of life owed to the An family anymore."
An Qihui’s father is not dead? Whatever Gu Liancheng said must have evidence, he wouldn't be talking nonsense.
The elders of the Gu family were very confident: "Even if the Qi family swindled, it was your sister who took the bait. What's the point of complaining now? Either you marry or you break the engagement. The Qi family left the An family a way to cancel the engagement. She didn't choose it, but instead prevented our Liancheng from getting married. There's no law, right? Don't bother with the An family, call the police station and ask them to come over."
The An family relatives didn't have time to ask in detail, and they pulled An Qihui away by force: "Don't call the police, we are here and will not let An Qihui cause any trouble."
When Qi Junshan, who was about to leave, heard that An Qihui's father might not be dead, he suddenly changed his mind: "Sister An, I have enough patience. Why don't you go up and ask your sister if she wants to get married?"
…
Jiang Zhen was infected by the wedding ceremony and became serious. A young soldier in the wedding reception team asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you treated my wounds urgently during the bandit suppression. You don't remember me, right?"
If it was Jiang Zhen, she would never have forgotten to bandage the little soldier at such a recent time. It was "Jiang Zhen" whom she replaced who did it.
She smiled and covered it up: "I'm sorry, I was so flustered that day that I didn't remember anyone's face."
Gu Liancheng was squatting and preparing to carry her on his back. He looked back and said, "His name is Xiao Qingfeng, my brother-in-law's nephew and Dean Wan's son-in-law."
Jiang Zhen had an impression of Dean Wan, the organizer of the social gathering. Jiang Zhen worked as a temporary worker in the hospital and had never met the dean, but had spoken a few words at the social gathering.
Xiao Qingfeng, like Gu Liancheng and An Xiuqing, has overlapping memories. It is known that the three of them were affected by the earthquake caused by the mirage.
Jiang Zhen suddenly had a thought in her mind: might the secret of her time travel have been discovered? However, the security department here did not arrest her and approved Gu Liancheng's marriage application.
She thought to herself that as long as she followed the rules and laws here, she should be fine.
…
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen felt that he had grasped Gu Liancheng's little secret. I know you already know my secret, but you don't know how happy I am that I already know it.
She happily lay on Gu Liancheng's back: "I'm a bit heavy, can you go down five floors in one breath?"
Gu Liancheng: ... "Whether you can do it or not, you have to carry it to the end. You can't just drop it halfway."
He was a little worried. After submitting the marriage report, he was supposed to just call the household registration police station in Jiang Zhen's hometown to check his identity background, but the organization sent two steady colleagues who even asked about Jiang Zhen's height and weight.
Before Jiang Zhen came to look for his relatives, he was estimated to be around 50 kilograms. The person on Gu Liancheng's back at this moment was also about this weight. He was hiding a secret and observing and testing his wife, really afraid that he would find out something terrible.
Fortunately, the organization has no ill will towards Jiang Zhen and will give him special protection.
The reason why Xiao Qingfeng was allowed to be discharged from the hospital early and come to pick up the bride was to let him identify whether Jiang Zhen and the "Jiang Zhen" who bandaged him were the same person?
Gu Liancheng also wanted to know this question. Is it true that the organization will not interfere with Comrade Jiang Zhen? But for him, he wants to know more about what kind of person his wife is?
…
Jiang Zhen was carried down to the third floor by Gu Liancheng. When she heard the An sisters quarreling, she immediately leaned close to Gu Liancheng's ear and said, "Walk slower so you can hear more of what they are saying."
Gu Liancheng laughed. The An sisters were so loud that he couldn't hear everything now. When he got home, the relatives who came later would gossip about it all.
She wanted to listen to it herself, so she walked slowly. She waited until she heard An Xiuqing roaring to her sister: "Yes, I always knew that the person I was going to marry was Qi Junshan. I was afraid that you would not agree, so I deliberately said it was Doctor Qi. You can't stop me today, so I will marry."
Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng were both surprised. Jiang Zhen said with certainty: "An Xiuqing doesn't know, but she decided to get married."
Gu Liancheng also thought so. It might be related to An Xiuqing's experience of rebirth. He felt that there was a chance if he married her rather than not.
"Then we will be neighbors from now on. Will that annoy you?" Gu Liancheng asked.
"Whoever is unhappy will be upset, but I am not upset," said Jiang Zhen.
Gu Liancheng smiled silently. She had a really good attitude. Her good mood could infect the people around her. If she was happy, the whole family would be happy too.
But when he thought about having to hide his secret from Jiang Zhen and being careful not to let Jiang Zhen find out, it was really difficult.
…
Downstairs, Jiang Zhen finally saw the one-eyed Qi Junshan, and hurriedly asked Gu Liancheng, who was about to take a detour, to come closer: "I want to observe Qi Junshan?"
"Why?" If their comrades hadn't stopped the onlookers, they would have been heard even if they spoke in a low voice.
"I was on my way to look for my relatives, and I blinded one of the bandits I encountered. I wanted to see if it was Qi Junshan."
So cruel? When facing bandits, it is a good thing to be a little ruthless, but not many people can do it. Gu Liancheng now has no doubt about the credibility of Jiang Zhen's friendly reminder during the blind date: don't commit domestic violence and don't hit women and children, otherwise you will be beaten to death by her.
He did not avoid Qi Junshan who deliberately blocked his way. Jiang Zhen wanted to make sure whether he was a bandit, and Qi Junshan also wanted to make sure whether Jiang Zhen recognized him.
Gu Liancheng carried Jiang Zhen on his back, Qi Junshan had one eye covered with a black cloth, his smile was full of curiosity, the two sides passed each other slowly, trying to spend as much time as possible to observe closely.
