Li Ergou scratched his head awkwardly, dandruff falling all over the floor. Bailian moved aside in disgust, then looked at the Li family's bare walls and sighed inwardly.
"Oh, there's no need for any betrothal gifts. Just pick an auspicious day to pick her up."
Just like in her previous life, Bai Lian secretly made the decision.
The date was chosen, set for five days later, the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, just in time for the wedding and the New Year. Only then did she leisurely return home.
Xiao Li was feeding the chicks when Bai Lian came in and saw Xiao Li. She felt a little guilty, but she quickly regained her composure.
Whose child is over twenty and still not married? She's only doing this for her daughter's own good; if this drags on any longer, she won't be able to find any kind of man.
Bai Lian was feeling guilty and didn't dare tell Xiao Li about it. No one knows what she was thinking, but she kept it a secret.
She probably knew in her heart that Xiaoli would absolutely not agree to this.
But she was eager to get this done; she couldn't be a person who broke her promise.
On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, breakfast was especially lavish. There were scallion pancakes with eggs, steamed buns, dumplings, and a bowl of poached eggs specially made for Xiaoli.
Xiao Li looked at the three white eggs in the bowl, with some chopped green onions floating on top, looking particularly beautiful. Unfortunately, this was a bowl of eggs with added ingredients.
With a flick of her wrist, she produced a hallucinogenic talisman. Anyone affected by this talisman would feel that everything happening now was something they were meant to experience.
With a wave of her hand, Xiao Li applied the talisman to Bai Lian.
"Today is your wedding day. Go back to your room and tidy yourself up nicely. Put on your best clothes and comb your hair."
Bai Lian obediently went back to her room, where she braided her hair into two pigtails. She even applied face powder, rouge, and red lipstick.
She sat on the edge of the bed, looking shy and timid, quietly waiting for someone to come and pick her up.
Xiao Li went inside, took out a red veil, and covered the girl's head. She then led her to her room and had her sit down.
Then he opened the door and went back to Bailian Room.
Li Ergou got up early in the morning, changed into new clothes, tidied himself up, and couldn't wait to set off to pick up people.
He opened the gate to the Qian family's courtyard. He had been to this road many times before, so it was not unfamiliar to him at all.
The house was quiet and peaceful; there was no sign of a wedding celebration.
"Mom, I'm here to pick someone up. Where is she? Where is she?"
As he led his men forward, he looked around. When he reached Xiao Li's room, the door was open, and he immediately saw a woman sitting on the edge of the bed with her head covered by a veil.
His heart immediately warmed; this was his wife.
He stepped forward, took the woman's hand, and spoke gently.
"Honey, I've come to take you home."
Bai Lian nodded shyly and followed him step by step out, eventually getting into the oxcart he had brought.
Xiao Li watched all of this quietly. The original owner of this body had been drugged and carried upstairs. When she woke up, she felt like the sky was about to fall.
The shame and anger of being violated, the heartbreak and sadness of being betrayed by her mother, made her want to die at one point, but the Li family kept a close eye on her and nothing bad happened.
Hopefully, Bailian will be able to face things calmly when she wakes up tomorrow.
Li Ergou happily brought his bride home and settled her on the bed in the new room before going out to deal with his brothers.
"You're really something, Er Gouzi. I never thought you'd actually marry that beauty."
The one who said this was Li Ergou's childhood friend, Li Dawei. He was also single, and the two had always been in the same boat. Now that Li Ergou was getting married, he was also getting anxious.
"What's this? I'll ask my mother-in-law to introduce you to someone too, then we can both win the hearts of our beloved. From now on, this warm bed...it'll be so wonderful! Hahaha..."
The group burst into laughter, their behavior utterly lewd.
"Come on, let's drink! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
The group got completely drunk. After seeing them off, Li Ergou staggered towards the bridal chamber.
Li Ergou lives alone at the edge of the village, while his parents and his older brother Li Dagou live together in this house, which is intended for his wedding.
It's been over a decade since it was built, but it's never been used. Only now has it finally come in handy.
"Honey, I'm here."
Li Ergou quickly stripped naked, picked up Bailian, and lay her down on the bed.
One night of passion...
★
The next morning, Bailian woke up from her dream. She seemed to have had a passionate dream all night, and she was still savoring it after waking up.
Her face was flushed; at her age, having such a erotic dream was quite embarrassing.
But why does she feel so heavy? She feels like she's being held. When she turns her head, she sees Li Ergou fast asleep, looking content.
"ah……"
A scream shattered the morning's tranquility, and the surrounding neighbors shook their heads and smiled knowingly.
I heard Li Ergou got married last night, but what good girl will be willing to marry him? There's bound to be trouble later.
"Li Ergou, you, you... I, I... what happened?"
Li Ergou was awakened by the screams. When he opened his eyes, he was startled to see Bai Lian's enlarged face.
He cursed angrily, recalling that he hadn't really seen what the person looked like last night before going out to drink, and then he went to sleep in a daze when he got back.
"Damn it, this is a marriage scam! You clearly promised to marry your daughter to me, so why did you marry her yourself? I don't care, you have to give me an explanation."
The two quickly separated and hurriedly searched for clothes to wear. You stepped on my pants, and I put on your vest. They were pulling and tugging at each other...
Two hours had passed by the time we sat down.
The main problem was that the clothes were scattered everywhere, and when the two of them picked them up, they inevitably exposed themselves. This sparked a fire, and the two of them ended up rolling around together again.
Bai Lian is only forty-three years old this year, and she takes good care of herself, so she looks like she's only in her thirties. She's only five or six years older than Li Ergou, so they're basically the same age.
"I said, given how things are now, why don't we just let it go?"
Li Ergou's anger had long since dissipated, and coupled with what had just happened, he was actually quite satisfied with Bailian.
He glanced at Bai Lian's face and thought she was quite pretty.
Bai Lian's face also turned red. She had lived alone for many years and was quite fond of this young man who was even younger than her, but she was a little shy.
"What can we do now that things have come to this?"
Li Ergou chuckled as he held Bailian's hand. After all, he was a married man now.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not a bad deal. Qian Xiaoli is already so grown up, it's good to have a daughter for free, she can take care of me in the future.
Xiao Li was surprised that the two of them didn't fight, but instead lived happily together.
Three days later, Bailian took Li Ergou home. Bailian couldn't stay at Li's house anymore, as there was nothing there.
She thought it would be better to go back to the Qian family, where Xiao Li could share the burden of household affairs and she wouldn't be too tired.
So the two of them returned with bags and packages.
