Chapter 139 Shu Yan Gets Married
When the auspicious moment arrived and before she put on the veil, Shu Yan suddenly knelt down in front of Deng. Before anyone could react and help her, she kowtowed three times. "Aunt, thank you and your family for taking care of me. I will never forget you."
Mrs. Deng's eyes turned red, and she quickly helped her up with both hands. "My dear child, although you have been with us for a short time, I still treat you as my own daughter. Today is your lucky day, don't cry, let's be happy!"
"Yeah!" Shu Yan nodded vigorously.
Today is her good day. From today on, she can truly own a home.
Her and Brother Lin’s home.
The bride came downstairs and Hu Ling carried her out on his back and put her on the bridal sedan. The bridesmaid was all smiles and kept saying auspicious words. Joyful sounds arose, and amid the laughter and jokes of the crowd, the sedan bearers lifted the sedan. Lin Mo rode Zhaonan's horse and took the sedan in a big circle in the village, attracting almost everyone in the village to come out to watch the fun.
In addition to this village, many villagers from Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village, which later got the news somehow, came to attend the wedding. Everyone followed the wedding procession, and it was very lively.
Shu Yan rode in a bridal sedan chair, followed by eight sets of dowry. Half of the dowry was purchased with the money Lin Mo gave as a betrothal gift, and the other half was purchased by the Zhao family.
Lin Mo's betrothal gift naturally had nothing to do with the Luo family and was sent to the Zhao family.
Lin Mo was simple and straightforward. His betrothal gift was one hundred taels of silver, as well as some other things required according to the rules and customs, such as tea, sugar, wine, cakes, etc.
Zhao Liya and the others had accompanied Shu Yan in buying a lot of things, and now they were all there. The Zhao family had also prepared, according to the highest standards for marrying off a daughter in the countryside, two rolls of silk, ten rolls of fine cotton cloth, two sets of bedding curtains, a set of silver jewelry, a pair of child-carrying buckets, a dressing mirror and dowry set, a pair of camphorwood trunks, and a set of bowls, plates, spoons, and other tableware. It was packed to the brim.
A long string of dowry followed behind the sedan chair, making it very inconspicuous.
The villagers of Yan Village were envious: they hadn't seen such a grand wedding procession in Yan Village for many years. Shu Yan was truly blessed!
Shu Yan is so blessed! Even if this was said a year ago, or even half a year ago, no one would believe it.
It can be seen that God really has eyes!
The villagers sighed with emotion, their hearts brimming with hope for the future. Perhaps one day, just like Shu Yan, the rain will finally clear and the moon will shine. Something they had once thought impossible is now happening.
Shu Yan and Lin Mo got married in the hall. The guests were lively and laughing. After the bride and groom paid homage to heaven and earth, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber. Under the awning in front of the courtyard gate, the chefs were already in place and started cooking. Several simple stoves were burning at the same time. A huge steamer was placed on the big pot, and the steamer was filled with bowls of dishes.
The big iron pot was filled with smoke, and various meats and vegetables were put into the pot, making a sizzling sound. The aroma quickly exploded, making people salivate.
But the guests were all very greedy.
Lin Mo was generous, and the Zhao family was also generous. Today's wedding banquet had eight dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. There were steamed chicken, steamed fish, taro braised pork, braised pig's trotters, stuffed tofu and many other hard dishes. Thirty tables were prepared, and the meal was served in two batches.
The tables were arranged in order, the children were chasing and playing, the place was full of laughter, and the smoke and fire added to the festive atmosphere.
It was the first time for Zhao Liya to attend such a lively wedding full of fireworks. She loved it very much. The big pot of food smelled so delicious!
Zhou Hansheng's eyes subconsciously followed her. Seeing her smile so happily, his mood also brightened. He couldn't help but let his thoughts fly. If his and her wedding in the future must be more lively than this, then would she be happier?
The excitement at the Lin Mo family and the Zhao family has nothing to do with Boss Luo's family.
Luo Shuyu's cold hadn't quite healed yet, and she still felt a little dizzy. She used her illness as an excuse to avoid him, lying in bed, filled with anger, shame, hatred, and heartbreak. She still refused to accept the truth: How was she inferior to Luo Shuyan? Why couldn't Brother Lin see her own good qualities?
Even if Boss Luo and Qi were shameless, they had just had a big fight a few days ago. Shu Yan even changed her last name. They naturally felt embarrassed to go to such a happy day today.
Luo Xiaohui was still young and ignorant. All the children in the village ran to see the bride, grab the wedding candies, and eat the delicious banquet. He also wanted to go, but Qi caught him and scolded him and did not allow him to go.
Luo Xiaohui had always been spoiled by the Qi family. Although Luo Xiaohui's treatment had plummeted since Shu Yan left, and he was no longer as obedient as before, he was a son after all and had privileges. He immediately started crying and making a fuss, demanding to go.
Words like bride, wedding candy, and wedding banquet could not be more offensive to Qi. Qi was furious and scolded him severely and locked him up at home.
Luo Xiaohui rolled on the ground crying.
The noise made by the mother and son was quite a scene.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo were too embarrassed to go, so Mr. Gu from the Gu family gave the order to let Mrs. Gu's second and third wives go.
The Gu family must participate in village activities and cannot be marginalized.
Boss Gu still felt hatred in his heart, but the situation was stronger than him, so he had to pretend that the Gu family had accepted their fate.
Everyone was from the same village, and every household had someone attending the wedding banquet. Two sisters-in-law from the Gu family came, and everyone was only slightly stunned, but didn't find it too strange.
Third Sister-in-law Gu was a talkative woman who soon found herself chatting and laughing with the villagers. Second Sister-in-law Gu's eyes darted around, her mouth tut-tutting with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But I didn't dare to do anything.
Given the current situation of the Gu family, if she dares to do anything else, she will be asking for a beating.
But is Mrs. Gu such an honest person? Obviously not. She is an expert at making trouble.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, but she suddenly brought up Mr. Luo and Mrs. Qi. "No matter what, blood ties can't be severed. For something as important as marriage, why not just let Mr. Luo and his wife sit in the hall? At least invite them to the wedding banquet, don't you think? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bit too much? Aren't you afraid it's unlucky?"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that this guy never said a good word.
No one mentioned Luo Lao Da's family, not even Luo Lao Er, so how could it be her turn?
Uncle Lin's wife, Aunt Lin, said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this on such a happy day. Who doesn't know what happened that day? It's always been the case that other villages don't know what's going on, and who in our village doesn't know? Why bother?"
