Chapter 202
The new son-in-law Zhou Liang held Liu Lanfang's hand tightly and comforted Song Manhua in a low voice.
"Mom, don't worry. I promise to treat Lan Fang the same way I treated her before."
"Just leave her to me, we will live a good life together, and I promise I won't let Lan Fang suffer any injustice."
Song Manhua patted Zhou Liang's hand and choked with sobs, unable to speak.
"Good boy, I feel relieved when you say this."
"Okay, go ahead, don't waste time."
According to local customs, the door of a house must be kept open and someone must be on guard after a wedding.
Song Manhua stayed behind to look after the house and entertain the guests.
The groom brought four young men to pick him up today, and they rode two bicycles in total.
Zhou Liang took Liu Lanfang's hand and got on his bicycle with a big red flower tied to it. The relatives and friends who came to pick up the bride and send her off began to help carry things.
The dowry was taken out from the inner room piece by piece: an enamel basin, a thermos with a bamboo basket, a small box, a flip-top wardrobe box, a luggage bag, nylon socks, a flashlight, a towel, a small square table, a dressing table, a newly made quilt...
The Liu family also gave the groom a new coat as a dowry, and the fabric was made from the curtain that Su Qingci gave.
Su Qingci roughly estimated that the curtain was almost entirely used on Liu Lanfang.
All the dowry was carried out of the house by the relatives and friends who came to send the bride out, showing it off.
The onlookers were all excited and talking about it.
"This captain's family really likes Lan Fang!"
"These four rivers and four lakes haven't had new clothes for years. Just imagine how hard it is to get cloth coupons these days."
"With this appearance, it's more than enough to marry into the city."
"Yes, you see, there are also flashlights. They are not cheap. Not only do they require tickets, but they are often out of stock."
"This is one of the best in the city!"
"Come on, forget it. The city is all about three turns and one ring, forty-eight legs and all that."
"This is acceptable in our countryside, but it can't compare to the city."
"You know, just taking out one of these three gongs and one bell would bankrupt us country folk."
"Look, look over there, Wang Feng and Xue Xixi don't look very happy!"
"Keep your voice down. Isn't this normal? Can you be happy if your sister-in-law gets married and takes away so many things?"
"So what if they're unhappy? We were the ones who saw them walk in. One of them just came with a tattered bag filled with two sets of old clothes."
"Besides, this was bought by the captain and his wife and the Four Cleanups. The two older brothers didn't buy anything."
"Look at what you said. No one has divided the family property yet. The money is all in Song Manhua's hands. What can we use to add to it?"
In addition to the two bicycles brought by the man, Liu Dazhu's family also had one, plus three from Song Jingzhou, Su Qingci and Wang Dachui, and they also rented an ox cart from the team.
The wedding procession, at first glance, was truly grand and magnificent, stretching for ten miles in red.
As soon as the team in front started moving, some people behind started making noise under the influence of alcohol.
The one who caused the trouble was Song Manye's unmarried youngest son.
Song Manye has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Wu Zhong, is married, the youngest son, Wu Cheng, is unmarried, and the eldest daughter, Wu Ping, and the second daughter, Wu Jiao, are both unmarried.
Song Manye took her own plan into consideration and sent Wu Zhong and Wu Ping, the people from her family who were escorting the bride.
The second son, Wu Cheng, was very unhappy. No matter how hard he tried, it would not be Wu Ping's turn. He was the son of the family, but the opportunity to show up was taken by a little girl.
Wu Cheng burped and looked at Song Manye with resentment. The eldest son already had two children, and he was only one year younger than the eldest, but they still hadn't gotten married. His mother was so biased.
Song Manye knew what her youngest son was thinking, but she felt even more uncomfortable.
This kid was spoiled since childhood. When he grew up, he fought cocks and walked dogs, molested young wives, and peeped at widows taking baths. He dared to do anything, which brought bad reputation to the entire Wu family.
As a result, even though her two daughters are now of this age, not many people dare to come to her house to propose marriage.
In fact, there was another reason for not allowing him to join the wedding procession.
This youngest son likes to make a fuss when he drinks cat urine, and she doesn't want to offend anyone at the happy event of her eldest sister's family.
Wu Cheng staggered to his feet under the influence of alcohol, and when he saw Zhong Linfang standing alone next to him, he became interested.
Since his family refused to find him a wife, he found a way on his own.
Nowadays, women value reputation the most, and he knows this girl.
He is not a relative, but seems to be a good classmate of Lan Fang's cousin.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Wu Cheng opened his arms and hugged Zhong Linfang.
"Little Wife~"
“Ahh~”
Zhong Linfang screamed in fright and pushed Wu Cheng hard.
Chen Chuntao next to her hurriedly tried to pull, and Zhong Linfang escaped, but Wu Cheng hugged Chen Chuntao.
When Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou rushed over after hearing the noise, Liu Siqing was protecting Zhong Linfang behind him with red eyes, and was about to rush forward with his fists raised.
Wu Jiao and Song Manye stood in front of Wu Cheng with grim faces and cursed Liu Siqing.
"This is your second cousin. He's drunk. Why are you arguing with him?"
"Big sister, you should quickly take care of Siqing. He's become successful now, and even I, his second aunt, can't catch his eye anymore."
"Look at how badly Wu Cheng was beaten. The corner of his mouth is bruised. Is this how you treat guests?"
"Man'e! What do you mean by the Four Qings beating him? Wasn't he the one who started it?"
"Yes, I saw it. Brother Siqing saw Wu Cheng being a hooligan and came over to stop him, but Wu Cheng punched him in the head."
"This is a hooligan. The town security team is here. Arrest him and send him to the town."
Song Man'e's neck stiffened. "Didn't Wu Cheng get drunk and lose his mind?"
"My mom is right. Why are you arguing with someone who has lost his mind? My brother is not in a clear mind right now and doesn't know anything."
Wu Cheng waved his fist at the crowd as if to prove that he was really drunk.
Su Qingci stopped in front of Shen Chuntao and Zhong Linfang and said coldly, "I don't think so."
"Maybe he's pretending to be drunk and taking the opportunity to act like a hooligan!"
"If he was really drunk and lost his mind, why did he hit others but not his mother?"
Song Jingzhou nodded, "That's right. If you're not in your right mind, why would you be so rude to others and not to your sister?"
"Catch him! Send him to town and lock him up in a small dark cell for a few days, then send him to the forest farm to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants!"
Su Qingci has been annoyed with this family for a long time. When she first arrived, she was inexplicably targeted by Wu Ping. And Song Manye even dared to rely on her status as an elder. Yin Yang Song Jingzhou should look for someone he knows well, not something random.
Even the rat that jumped in during dinner, Wang Dachui told her, he suspected Wu Zhong had deliberately driven it over.
Wang Dachui and Feng Jianjun heard Su Qingci's words and half-surrounded her, ready to step forward and take action.
When Wu Cheng heard that he was going to be arrested and sent for education and reform, he was so frightened that his heart tightened and the effect of alcohol instantly dissipated.
With a roll of his eyes, he raised his fist and punched Song Manye, who was protecting him, twice.
"Ha, I'll fight!"
"Bang, bang~"
“Ah~”
Song Manye, who was inexplicably punched twice by her son, let out a scream, covered her left chin, and sat down on the ground.
Those two punches almost knocked her unconscious, and she couldn't recover for a long time!
Wu Cheng saw Feng Jianjun and others looking at him fiercely, as if they were trying to confirm whether he was drunk or not.
He didn't dare to stay, with a stiff face, he opened his arms and hugged Wu Jiao tightly in his arms.
He doesn't want to be caught, he wants to prove that he is really drunk!
