The grand wedding of the Fu and Ding families should have been a happy ending that everyone envied, but due to the absence of the groom, it became the number one joke in Xiangyang Village.
It was time to go to work. The villagers who were not invited passed by the Fu family's door and saw Ding Yanli standing in the yard in a red dress in a daze, and they complained to each other.
"Ding Yanli is really trying hard to get married. Will the fourth son of the Fu family deliberately run away from marriage?"
"I heard that Mrs. Fu and her husband humiliated Gu Zhiqing for her. Who is the real partner of the fourth son of the Fu family?"
"To put it bluntly, I feel like Ding Yanli is trying to force herself to marry Fu Jingchen. Soldiers need to file a marriage report when they get married, and Ding Yanli is planning to act first and report later."
"How can she have the nerve to marry Fu Jingchen? She named herself the head of the group's wife. She hasn't even gotten married yet, and there's no groom to pick her up, but she's already moved into the man's house. How unreserved!"
“…”
Fu Xiangling felt relieved when she saw the villagers pointing fingers at Ding Yanli. "Ding Yanli, I won't admit that you are my fourth sister-in-law. Didn't they say that my fourth brother went to the commune? It only takes a short walk to get back to the village from the commune, not to mention taking a car. It's a journey of at most 20 minutes. It's likely that my fourth brother got the news that you wanted to force him to marry, and deliberately didn't come back to avoid being blamed by you."
"I advise you to have some shame and stop thinking about the man who doesn't belong to you."
Ding Yanli turned her head and glared at her fiercely, "I'm already in the Fu family, no one can drive me out, it's easier to invite a god than to send him away, haven't you heard that? You tried every means to force me to leave, did you accept benefits from Gu Wanwan? Or maybe it was that bitch Shi Yueling?"
Fu Xiangling had a malicious smile on her face. She didn't mention anyone in particular. She thought it would be best if the three of them could fight each other and she would reap the benefits.
None of these slutty bitches is worthy of her brother Jingchen.
He is hers!
It can only be hers!
No one can take him away from her!
When Shi Yueling learned that the wedding had to be suspended, she rushed to see Ding Yanli's joke early in the morning, "Hey, isn't this our famous Secretary Ding's daughter? Why is there no groom for the wedding? Should we follow the feudal era and hold a rooster to get married?"
"In my opinion, Brother Jingchen dislikes your age, your thick waist and your ugly face, so he was scared away by you, hahaha..."
Gu Zhiqing is really capable. She has made the Fu family lose face. When she marries Brother Jingchen someday, they will definitely give her a big red envelope and ask her to be a witness.
It was thought that Ding Yanli would restrain herself because she had lost all face, but she shamelessly announced that the wedding would go on as usual and she had to wait until Fu Jingchen returned home. Secretary Ding and Yu Cuihua could not persuade their daughter, so they let her go.
The Fu family expressed no objection. After all, the meat, vegetables and cooks were all paid for by the Ding family. Their family could make money and get a daughter-in-law for free. Where else could they find such a good thing?
The villagers were right about one thing: Ding Yanli was just paying for it.
Gu Wanwan got up before dawn to exercise. She took her brother and sister-in-law and Zheng Shican to run two laps around the village. Naturally, she heard about Ding Yanli's embarrassing story of not sleeping all night.
After returning home, the Zheng couple had already started a fire and were cooking. They were steaming big meat buns and boiling wontons. The meat was brought by the couple. Hu Zhiming had chopped the stuffing and mixed the dough last night, while Gu Wanwan seasoned and mixed the stuffing. The whole family worked together to make buns and wontons.
Xia Tingyue was only responsible for cooking the wontons, which was not a technically difficult task. She followed what Gu Wanwan had taught her yesterday. She put chopped green onions, seaweed, dried shrimps, soy sauce and vinegar, a little bit of scallion oil, secret seasonings, etc. into the bowl, added broth to mix it, and then scooped the cooked wontons into the bowl. It was a full bowl of deliciousness.
"Wife, if you weren't prohibited from doing business now, you could have set up a stall to sell wontons." Zheng Zeqian ate with tears streaming down his face. If his wife had such cooking skills, would he have to eat pig food for more than 20 years? It must be because of Wanwan's good teaching. "You should learn a few more dishes from Wanwan, then I will be blessed in the future."
Xia Tingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do I need you to tell me? I have written it all down in a little notebook. Wanwan also prepared many secret seasonings for her, which she would send to her after use. She no longer had to worry about her cooking skills.
Gu Wanwan smiled without saying anything. How could it not taste good when the secret seasoning was added with spiritual spring water?
"It's delicious, Godmother Pangpang!" An Bao scooped up the wontons with a small spoon.
Shen Zhitian and Shen Nianyu ate with their mouths full of fragrance, "Aunt is amazing, the soup base is so delicious!"
Xia Tingyue was flattered by the praise. She looked at the little carrot head lovingly and waved her hand generously, "Enough, enough. After dinner, godmother will take you to the county town to buy some things. Buy more meat for the babies to replenish their bodies, and buy some ingredients for the dinner party in the evening."
Zheng Shican's eyes sparkled as he pointed at himself, "Mom, what about me? I want to buy some more clothes too!"
Xia Tingyue refused without a second thought, "Just do your job. You are already old enough, can you be more mature like Wanwan?"
Zheng Shican felt wronged, but she didn't say anything. She squatted on the ground and drew circles. "Little cabbage, the ground is yellow, I'm eighteen years old, and I've lost my mother..."
It was not until Gu Wanwan stuffed a box of chocolates into her hand that she wiped away her nonexistent tears and grinned happily, "Wanwan loves you, my best friend treats me better, unlike my mom who is so stingy."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could Xia Tingyue not see that her daughter was pretending to be crying? It was even more impossible for her to feel unbalanced just because she cared so much for Wanwan and her siblings.
The Fu family's wedding banquet was being planned again. In view of the "ban order" issued by Ding Yanli, Gu Wanwan and Shi Yueling were turned away and were not allowed to set foot in the Fu family and attend the wedding banquet.
Liang Xin couldn't help but laugh, "Gu Wanwan, everyone knows about your scandal. Can you please stop embarrassing the educated youth? The Fu family has already said that Fu Jingchen doesn't even know you."
Hu Pandi echoed, "Gu Zhiqing is beautiful and has the ability to attract many men. She probably thinks that men have to revolve around her. Now that we have paid the gifts, we should be able to have a banquet today, right?"
Yao Ruihui said in a firm tone, "This is not nonsense. The Fu and Ding families cannot afford to lose this person. As long as Fu Jingchen returns to the village, Gu Zhiqing's lies will be exposed. She sabotaged the soldiers, and the Ding family can sue her!"
Gan Qi was most happy to see Gu Wanwan become the target of public criticism. She quietly approached Zheng Shican and whispered to sow discord between them, "Your parents' hearts and eyes are full of Gu Wanwan and her brother. You are not their most beloved daughter. Be careful that one day you will be replaced by Gu Wanwan, who has no father or mother!"
Zheng Shican was not fooled. "Wanwan and I are as close as sisters. In my heart, you and your brother are ranked first, just like my parents. Even brother Zhiming has to rank behind you. If you must ask why, it's probably because Wanwan and I have a sisterly bond that we went through life and death together in our previous lives."
Gan Qi's face darkened. She just couldn't understand why Zheng Shican was so open-hearted to Gu Wanwan and was willing to share his parents with her.
Just then, a car drove into Xiangyang Village.
"Fu family, your fourth son has returned to the village."
