Unexpectedly, the coachman raised his whip, nearly hitting Zhong Qingqing in the face, and the horse galloped towards the Lu family without looking back.
"This is the Yang family's residence, stop." They thought the carriage had gone to the wrong place.
The coachman arrived. "The Lu family, this is Qiao Wanyue's dowry."
Zhong Qingqing's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the cartload of boxes, the newly made cotton quilts, and the several large boxes that her second uncle had brought to store his wealth.
She comforted herself, thinking that the Qiao family would definitely prepare something better.
But when she saw the Yang family's carriage return, Zhong Qingqing looked back and forth three times.
"What about the dowry?"
Yang Huaiyuan bit his lip, "My father-in-law's house was robbed, and there was no dowry."
He lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only the mother and son could hear.
Zhong Qingqing's face immediately darkened, and she walked away without looking back.
"Qingqing, the new bride has arrived, where are you going?" Her friend quickly called out to Zhong Qingqing. If the mother-in-law wasn't home when the new bride arrived, this would be a show of force and make her a laughingstock.
Zhong Qingqing didn't care about any of that; without a dowry, no one could easily enter the Yang family.
Clang.
The Yang family's door was also closed.
Everyone: ?
The guests were stunned. Most of the people in Xiahe Village were surnamed Yang. The village head had given everyone half a day off to attend the wedding of the Yang and Lu families. Most of the guests were from the Yang family.
Zhong Qingqing's actions left everyone completely baffled.
As soon as Qiao Shanshan stepped off the carriage, she saw the tightly closed gate and couldn't help but frown.
The Yang and Lu families were separated only by a courtyard wall, and Qiao Wanyue could see what was happening on their side.
She curled her lips into a smile.
What good thing did Qiao Shanshan think she had stolen?
Yang's mother is a hypocrite. She puts on a very good act in public, being understanding and considerate of her daughter-in-law. She is a person who does one thing but says nine. In her previous life, Qiao Wanyue was clumsy with words and was often locked up at home by Yang's mother.
Yang's mother often talked about how good she was to her daughter-in-law, saying that she would do the laundry and cook for her before dawn, and that she did all the housework. Qiao Wanyue had expressed her envy of her more than once.
But only she knew that she did all the dirty and tiring work in the Yang family, and even washed her mother-in-law's underwear and Yang Huaiyuan's grandmother's underwear.
This blessing will be enjoyed by Qiao Shanshan.
"Wanyue, get out of the sedan chair." Lu Rong's voice rang out.
Qiao Wanyue lifted the carriage curtain, and Lu's mother stood outside the carriage with a smile. According to tradition, Lu Yunzhou should have come to pick her up, but since Lu Yunzhou was not there, Lu's mother did not want her daughter-in-law to be looked down upon, so she came in person.
Qiao Wanyue reached out and placed her hand on Lu's mother's wrist.
Lu's mother smiled and led her daughter-in-law inside, glancing at the next room out of the corner of her eye.
The Yang family's door was already closed, and the guests were blocking the entrance.
"The proper etiquette for a new bride entering the family is to knock on the door three times and say, 'Mom, open the door,'" the officiant said from the side.
Qiao Shanshan also noticed that Lu's mother was holding Qiao Wanyue's hand.
His face was drawn out.
There is no such rule in Xiahe Village.
Yang Huaiyuan's expression was also unpleasant; although he was also dissatisfied with his father-in-law and mother-in-law's behavior.
But things have come to this point; Qiao Shanshan is now his wife, and his mother's actions are a slap in the face to him.
But the officiant offered a way out, and Yang Huaiyuan whispered something in Qiao Shanshan's ear.
Qiao Shanshan bit her lip and swallowed hard, unwilling to give up.
