Ding Yanli greeted Gu Wanwan like a hostess, and even if she couldn't make Gu Wanwan angry to death, she would at least make her jealous to death.
She thought that as long as she moved into the Fu family, her marriage would be a sure thing. However, her careful planning failed to account for the fact that Fu Jingchen did not play by the rules and was no longer the person who obeyed his parents and elders.
The more she looks forward to the marriage now, the more disappointed and desperate she will be later!
In order to please the future headmaster's wife, the lackeys around her flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, devaluing Gu Wanwan to the point of being worthless.
"Gu Zhiqing, you are not a martyr's relative, can you please have some shame?"
"Yan Li has successfully married into the Fu family. There is no possibility for you and Fu Jingchen anymore. Please don't ruin the reputation of the captain and his wife."
"I heard from Yan Li that you are dating her brother Qi Xiangdong, right? Then please be devoted to her. It's not right for a sister-in-law to be obsessed with her brother-in-law. If this gets out, people will laugh at you."
“…”
The village women who came to the Fu family to help all looked at Gu Wanwan with condemning eyes, as if she was the third party who destroyed the marriage.
Ding Yanli was very satisfied with the performance of the village women and made an appropriate promise, "Aunts and sisters, don't worry, I will let Brother Jingchen pay attention to his comrades and brothers to see if they are suitable for you."
Gu Wanwan laughed instead of getting angry, "Why does the Ding family want to force a marriage again?"
Ding Yanli pretended to be calm. While the gossiping old women were gathering at the Fu family, she deliberately confirmed the relationship between Gu Wanwan and her brother. "How could it be a forced marriage? You and my brother are in love. You sued my family for a forced marriage because we couldn't agree on the bride price. In fact, you and my brother have been dating privately for a long time. Don't deny it!"
"Today is my brother Jingchen's wedding day. I don't want to quarrel with you. Considering that you are my brother's sister-in-law who has not yet married, I kindly invited you to stay for the banquet. You actually don't appreciate it, so forget it..."
The Zheng couple and Zheng Shican found this extremely offensive. They thought the Ding family had not given up on Wanwan yet, and after failing to force her into marriage, they had come up with another plan. They planned to use public opinion to confirm Wanwan and Ding Qidong's secret relationship?
Damn, it’s so insidious. Some of the crude tricks used in rural areas are really hard to guard against.
Gu Wanwan took her brother's hand, walked past Ding Yanli, and walked into the Fu family with a swagger.
The Fu family's house was also one of the best in Xiangyang Village with blue bricks and tiles. The main hall was filled with relatives who came to congratulate them. Leading the group were Old Man Fu and Old Lady Fu. One of them looked honest on the outside but was actually hypocritical on the inside, while the other had a sarcastic look.
Standing next to them was a timid couple. They should be Fu Jingchen's parents, Mrs. Fu's eldest son and daughter-in-law. His father, Fu Yuzhong, was as his name suggested, loyal and filial to his parents. Fu Jingchen once mentioned that his father's attitude towards him was extremely complicated.
The mother, Shen Chunman, was an honest, nondetermined rural woman. Because Mrs. Fu loved her youngest son and daughter, she was often bullied by her sisters-in-law and older sisters-in-law.
Fu Jingchen has three brothers, named One, Two, Three, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Only Fu Jingchen is an exception.
The eldest brother, Fu Yi Jin, married Liu Lai Xi and had two daughters, eight-year-old Chun Ya and four-year-old Xia Ya. She is currently pregnant with another.
The second brother, Fu Eyin, married Sun Xiaohua and had two daughters, Qiuya, six years old, and Dongya, three years old.
The third brother, Fu Shantong, married Wang Xuexiu. The couple had jobs in the city and had a daughter, three-year-old Baoya.
The eldest sister, Fu Youqin, married and moved to the city. The youngest sister, Fu Xiangling, was sweet-mouthed and good at pleasing others. She was quite favored in the Fu family, but not as good as the children of the second wife. Mrs. Fu's youngest son, Fu Yuxiao, and his wife had a son and a daughter, Fu Yingjun and Fu Meili. Mrs. Fu loved her youngest son and his family as well, and often used the eldest wife's things to subsidize her youngest son's family.
Five granddaughters and no grandson, they are known as the Five Golden Flowers of the Fu Family!
The last time Fu Jingchen came back injured, he was diagnosed with a fundamental injury that affected his fertility. The Fu family kept this a secret, but it was still spread by Fu Xiangling, which discouraged many people from getting married.
In fact, the villagers secretly complained a lot about the Fu family’s poverty.
The Ding family naturally knew that Fu Jingchen was infertile, but they couldn't resist their daughter's love for him. Not to mention that Fu Jingchen's face was the best-looking in the area and he was more handsome than a star. Although Fu Xiangling drove away most of her suitors, Fu Jingchen's conditions were still there. So what if he was infertile? He was the head of the regiment after all, and if she married him she would become an official's wife.
As for the child, it is easier to solve. Ding Yanli and Yu Cuihua had discussed it in advance and decided to adopt one from her mother's family. At that time, all Fu Jingchen's property will be left to his nephew. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?
"Hey, isn't this the famous Gu Zhiqing from our village? You came too early, our family hasn't started the banquet yet." The person who spoke was Fu Jingchen's sister-in-law Liu Laixi.
Gu Wanwan ignored her, glanced at everyone in the hall, and announced slowly, "Hello everyone, I am Fu Jingchen's girlfriend, Gu Wanwan. It's our first meeting, so please look forward to it. Jingchen told me to come to the Fu family when I have nothing to do and cultivate my relationship with you guys."
These words were like thunder from a clear sky, shocking everyone present.
Ding Yanli didn't expect Gu Wanwan to be so shameless and dare to openly declare war on her, "Gu Wanwan, are you crazy? Brother Jingchen is my husband, are you planning to snatch him from me?"
Gu Wanwan defeated her with just a few words, "Your husband? Have you got the marriage certificate? This is not the feudal era. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are all bullshit."
"Are you worthy enough to compete with me? It was your brother Jingchen who insisted on chasing me to date him and wanted to marry me. If I didn't agree, he would keep pestering me. It's really a sweet trouble."
"By the way, aren't you having an affair with Yan Dewang? How can you have the nerve to marry into the Fu family?"
Ding Yanli's new red dress affected her movements, otherwise she would have wanted to tear the other person's stinky mouth apart. "How am I unworthy? Brother Jingchen has given me many gifts. What about you? You haven't even met Brother Jingchen. Do you have the right to think about him? You are better than me? In the countryside, as long as the parents agree, it's fine. To put it bluntly, you are just jealous that I married well and want to ruin my wedding. The elders here all support me. Your trick will not succeed."
Gu Wanwan clicked her tongue twice, "Are my conditions not good? I'm prettier than you, I have a better figure and skin than you, I'm richer than you, and my twin brother is an officer. Does that mean my family background is bad?"
"My brother and your brother Jingchen are brothers and comrades. Do you think we know each other? Strictly speaking, it is your brother Jingchen who is marrying up to me."
I am awesome, I am a rich and powerful aristocrat.
The village women couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. It was obvious who would win and who would lose between the daughter of a village official and the sister of an officer. Some villagers even had ulterior motives. If they could marry Gu Wanwan home, with the help of her family, wouldn't her husband's family be prosperous?
Ding Yanli was so angry that she didn't pay attention to the following words. She only knew that Gu Wanwan attacked her weakest point. She had an average figure and freckles all over her face, but these were not a big deal and could be covered up with makeup. "Gu Wanwan, do you think you can cancel the wedding by making a scene at the Fu family?"
