But the Lu family's procession had already left when the Yang family arrived late. In particular, the people who came to welcome the bride rolled their eyes so hard they almost reached the sky when they saw Qiao Shanshan dressed in white. Even Yang Huaiyuan couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you wearing white?" Yang Huaiyuan questioned.
Qiao Shanshan, oblivious to his tone, smugly twirled in front of him, asking, "Is it pretty?"
Yang Huaiyuan said impatiently, "Hurry up, my family is waiting."
After saying that, without any regard for the ceremony, he took Qiao Shanshan's hand and walked out. Qiao Shanshan wanted to say goodbye to her parents, but Yang Huaiyuan forcibly pulled her and stuffed her into the sedan chair. Both the Yang and Lu families used sedan chairs to pick up the bride.
He rode his bicycle ahead, not even bothering to say goodbye to his parents-in-law, but simply waving his hand dismissively.
They're gone.
Liang Xiu and Qiao Sheng stared in disbelief at the scene.
"Who is this person? We're not marrying him!" Liang Xiu immediately became anxious.
If they dare to treat them like this now, who knows how they'll treat Shanshan in the future.
Qiao Sheng looked much older overnight, and his voice was hoarse. "The son-in-law is not satisfied with the dowry."
As soon as Yang Huaiyuan entered the door, he began to ask Shanshan how much her dowry was. When he learned that her family had been robbed again, his face turned as black as soot. She had lost her job and had no money. Why would the Yang family marry her?
Qiao Sheng understood.
This youngest daughter brought this upon herself.
never mind.
Children and grandchildren have their own destinies.
Where are you going?
Qiao Sheng said, "I'll go see Wanyue. She's also a member of the Qiao family. She can't get married without her family. The Lu family will look down on her."
Upon hearing that he had gone to see Qiao Wanyue, Liang Xiu looked disgusted. "Why would you want to see her? It's better to raise a dog than to raise her."
Dogs are good at guarding homes and property.
What will she do?
Liang Xiu rolled up her sleeves and headed home.
Those who came to visit relatives at the Qiao family's house looked embarrassed upon seeing this scene and turned to go to their second uncle's house.
When Qiao Wanyue left, she left her second uncle thirty yuan and asked him to take good care of the villagers who were coming to the wedding banquet. Her second uncle hurriedly hired a chef, and coincidentally, the neighboring village was slaughtering a pig, so they bought ten catties of it.
He cooked large meals at home and entertained the villagers.
These days, people don't have much money in their bellies. Second Uncle was an elder in the village, so when he invited people to dinner, most people went. But when it came time to eat, no one went to the wedding banquet that the Qiao family had funded with borrowed money.
The second uncle's family was overcrowded.
Xiahe Village
Qiaojia Brigade and Luhe Xiahe Village are in the same commune, but there is a certain distance between the two brigades, which takes half an hour by bicycle. The Lujia Brigade set off earlier, and they used an old ox.
Xiahe Village has a total of two cows. One is relatively young, and Yang Jiabadao has already decided on it.
The other one was older and moved slower, so the Lu family could only use the old ox.
The Lu family is slower than the Yang family.
From the moment they left the village, Yang Huaiyuan kept urging the driver to hurry up, completely ignoring the fact that Qiao Shanshan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was already nauseous from the jolting. He rode his bicycle at the front, constantly urging the driver to hurry.
Lu's mother had instructed the wedding party in advance that, even if it was a little late, they must ensure her daughter-in-law was healthy and absolutely not cause her any problems from the jostling.
The Lu family's car drove very slowly.
Until at a fork in the road.
The Lu family arrived first, and Yang Huaiyuan rode his bicycle to the intersection.
"We'll go first," he said domineeringly.
