"You will only make Brother Jingchen hate you more. Jingchen is already in the commune and will come back to marry me soon. No matter how much you make trouble, it won't change my decision to move into the Fu family!" Ding Yanli took a deep breath and tried to calm her anger. "On this wedding day, I won't argue with you to avoid bad luck."
"Mom and Dad, if what Gu Zhiqing said is true, should we..." Chen Chunman said timidly.
Old Mrs. Fu glared at her unhappily. The money and benefits had already been agreed with the Ding family. If she broke off the engagement now, Secretary Ding would never let it go. Besides, the fourth son was a lowly bastard and didn't deserve a wife from a well-off family. Therefore, she didn't agree with the marriage between the fourth son and Gu Zhiqing!
"The wedding will go on as usual. I am the fourth son's grandmother, so how can I not decide his marriage? This Gu Zhiqing is crazy and fierce. She has also caused trouble for the Qingshan Brigade and Gu Pozi's family. Sooner or later, she will bring disaster to the Fu family. Can you control such a daughter-in-law?"
Not to mention that she can't control them, once Gu Wanwan marries into the Fu family, it will probably be Gu Wanwan who is in charge of the Fu family, and the whole family will have to do things according to her mood.
The other members of the Fu family, however, had ulterior motives. The three brothers did not want Fu Jingchen to marry a wife of nobler birth than their own wives. Moreover, Ding Yanli had offered too many benefits. As long as the marriage went through, she would give each of them a hundred yuan.
In order to make money, Sun Xiaohua and Wang Xuexiu praised Ding Yanli to death. Only Liu Laixi was not in good shape. Her preferred candidate for the fourth daughter-in-law was her natal sister. She tried to bring them together many times, but was ruined by her sister-in-law, and Ding Yanli took advantage of the opportunity.
A hundred yuan is just a small amount. How stingy! If the younger sister from her natal family marries the fourth brother, she will be able to control his salary and allowances. Then the sisters can join forces to take away Mrs. Fu's power as the head of the family.
After all, it is Old Lady Fu who is in charge of the family now. All the money earned has to be handed over and then kept and distributed by Old Lady Fu. Old Lady Fu is partial to her youngest son, so all the good food and drinks are given to her youngest son's family. The parents-in-law are honest and dare not disobey, but that doesn't mean they are willing to swallow their anger.
Privately, the sisters-in-law were all thinking about dividing the family property. Liu Laixi even touched her belly, thinking that whether the pregnancy would be successful depended on the flesh in her belly, provided that she gave birth to the only grandson of the Fu family.
"Grandpa and grandma, let's talk about the marriage after Fourth Brother comes back. If you act on his own, he will be unhappy. If he doesn't marry Ding Yanli, the Ding family will become a laughing stock in the village?" Fu Xiangling was not supporting Gu Wanwan, but she didn't care who came to ruin the wedding, as she would not allow anyone to touch her brother Jingchen.
Gu Wanwan stared at Fu Xiangling without blinking, not missing any hint of emotion in her eyes. It was really interesting that the younger sister had such thoughts about her brother.
Ding Yanli looked at the two elders for help. The biggest obstacle for her to marry into the Fu family was Fu Xiangling. She really couldn't understand what that silly girl was thinking. She was guarding against her like a thief, afraid that she would snatch Fu Jingchen away. Wouldn't it be possible for Fu Xiangling to marry her own brother?
My sister-in-law will get married sooner or later. Can she still rely on my brother for the rest of her life?
After she and Brother Jingchen had their wedding, she immediately found a husband for her sister-in-law.
Mrs. Fu put down her pipe and said, "Integrity is the most important thing in our Fu family. Gu Zhiqing, thank you for your love for my grandson. Relationships cannot be forced. My grandson and the fourth son's wife have been childhood sweethearts and are in love with each other. We, as elders, have seen it all. Gu Zhiqing, please abide by your duties and don't interfere in my grandson's marriage because of the grudge between the Ding family and you. I advise you not to ruin the military marriage."
Old Lady Fu looked at Gu Wanwan with a critical eye. "There are so many women who like my grandson. Everyone claims to be his ideal partner. Can our Fu family marry them all? I'm going to say this. I will never allow you to enter our house!"
"Yan Li is the legitimate granddaughter-in-law of my Fu family. No one can change this. My grandson has to listen to me when he comes. I want to see if he will break off relations with his grandparents and parents for a stranger like you."
"You brought a burden with you, which is something our Fu family cannot tolerate. The Ding family is generous enough to accept you. Go away. We don't welcome you. As long as I am here, you will never be able to enter the Fu family."
The two elders' very confident tone embarrassed Gu Wanwan in public.
"I have met my future in-laws. When Fu Jingchen and I get married, don't expect me to spoil you. I am just here to inform you that it is all in vain." Gu Wanwan glanced at Ding Yanli meaningfully from the corner of her eyes. "Forced marriage is a tradition passed down from the Ding family. Some people are ugly but have beautiful dreams. They can't get married no matter how many times they try."
Ding Yanli stared at Gu Wanwan's departing back, feeling angry but also relieved. The crazy woman had finally given up. Now there was no one to hinder her marriage!
Zheng Shican frowned. She was ready to destroy the wedding scene. "Wanwan, are we going to do nothing? Will they force Fu Jinchen into the bridal chamber?"
"No, they don't have a chance." On the way back to the new house, Gu Wanwan wrote a note with her consciousness and threw it into the next space: Congratulations, your fiancée has entered the house and calls herself your daughter-in-law. You don't need to pick her up, she will go straight to the bridal chamber, and a banquet will be set up early in the morning. All we owe is your help.
Fu Jingchen went into the space to exercise as soon as he got up in the morning, and naturally received a note from Gu Wanwan: I don’t have a room in the Fu family. Last time I didn’t pay my salary, they kicked me out of the house. Poor me, I have no home to return to in the village. My love, you have to take me in.
Gu Wanwan clicked her tongue twice: Okay, since I have an extra room.
Fu Jingchen: I have already reported our relationship. The Fu family is destroying a military marriage. When I return to the village, I will give them a shocking lesson.
Gu Wanwan: Then you can come back tomorrow. I’ll change the housewarming party to tomorrow and set up two tables.
All the new and old educated youth at the educated youth site were invited to attend the wedding, and each person gave a dime or two, no more.
The rural banquets included both meat and vegetables, which were much more sumptuous than the pig food that the educated youths were served. Only a fool would not go to the banquet, so as soon as they got off work, they ran to the Fu family to join in the fun.
Unfortunately, the male protagonist has not returned home yet, so the banquet cannot be held. He can only return to the educated youth point temporarily, eating sorghum dumplings with boiled leafy vegetables while looking forward to the wedding banquet in the evening.
The incident in which Gu Wanwan caused a disturbance at the Fu family's wedding caused an uproar in the entire Xiangyang Village. The Qingshan wives took the opportunity to stir up trouble and throw dirty water on Gu Wanwan. After hearing about it, some villagers did not agree with Gu Wanwan's impulsiveness.
Ding Yanli waited and waited with great anticipation, from dawn to dusk, but she never saw Fu Jingchen.
The aunt who was washing vegetables and cutting meat in the yard and the cook who was preparing to show off his cooking skills didn't know how to react. Should the wedding banquet go on or not?
Until midnight, the relatives and friends of the Fu family could no longer stay and left the Fu family one after another.
Ding Yanli stood in the yard, staring at the direction of the gate, and boundless disappointment overwhelmed her heart.
The next morning, Fu Jingchen couldn't wait to pack his luggage and return to the village. Sheng Qing borrowed a car from someone and took the two of them back to Xiangyang Village.
