"It's alright, you just hold the baby tight, I'll take care of this."
The older woman patted her broad chest to reassure her. Her strength was no joke; she could easily defeat not only these skinny young men, but even two strong men might not be able to beat her.
The dog's guarantee was torn in two, and he couldn't show it to Zhang Yan, so he asked Yu Caihong to tear off another piece of paper and hand it to him so he could rewrite it. He had already written it before, so he just copied it. He quickly wrote it down, his handwriting much more messy than before.
The main reason is that he's afraid of those guys causing trouble. It's his wedding day, and he can't get into a fight with anyone, otherwise he'll end up fighting with them. It's really infuriating.
Gouzi quickly wrote down what he wanted to say and then hurriedly slipped the guarantee under the door, giving the four groomsmen no chance at all. They looked a little disappointed, especially Li Chuan, whose hand had just reached out again. Luckily, Gouzi was quick enough.
"Don't cause me any trouble!"
The dog gritted his teeth and gave another warning, but the others just grinned and joked, refusing to give a direct answer.
Yu Caihong picked up the guarantee that had been shoved in, glanced at it, and then gave it to Zhang Yan. Originally, the guarantee was supposed to be read aloud after it was written, but Gouzi didn't read it and just shoved it in. Yu Caihong was also afraid that those people would cause trouble again and tear up the guarantee, so she didn't ask Gouzi to read it and just gave it to Zhang Yan.
"What do we do now? Should we open the door?"
The planned wedding procession was definitely not going to be this easy or quick. How long had it been since Gouzi and the others arrived? But with those spoilsport groomsmen around, Yu Caihong was now undecided. Should she just open the door and let him take the bride away, or continue to test him and liven up the atmosphere?
"Just open the door. There's no real test. If I pass it, it's my skill, not these tests. If I don't, it's just my fate."
Zhang Yan glanced at the guarantee written by Gouzi and was quite satisfied. She immediately told Yu Caihong to open the door, leaving the formalities behind.
"Okay, then sit down, I'll go open the door."
Yu Caihong had no objection; she went straight over and opened the door.
"Alright, dog, you can take her away now. But you'd better treat Zhang Yan well from now on, or I won't be polite!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely treat her well. She's my wife, how could I not treat her well!"
Gouzi excitedly assured her, then trotted in and carried Zhang Yan on his back. He was thin and small, only a head taller than Zhang Yan, who hugged his neck with some worry.
"Are you sure you can manage? If not, bring your bicycle in."
The groom borrowed Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's bicycle to pick up the bride. Since the bride's feet couldn't touch the ground, the groom usually carried her out of the room. Then, using a bicycle or oxcart, they would travel to the groom's house, where the groom would carry the bride back to the room. This completed the wedding ceremony.
"I can do it. I can carry a hundred pounds of rice, let alone you."
Gouzi gritted his teeth and insisted, "What man can bear to hear his wife call him weak and incapable? He absolutely has to be able to do it!" However, Gouzi was indeed exaggerating a bit. He could carry a hundred or two hundred pounds of rice by himself, but it was definitely quite strenuous.
So, carrying Zhang Yan on his back, he gritted his teeth and was about to rush out in one go to put her on the bicycle. However, as soon as he rushed out of the room, he was stopped by the groomsmen.
"Don't rush, Gouzi! We just picked up the bride, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The wedding games haven't even started yet!"
"Now is the perfect time. You've already carried the bride on your back. Let's spin around ten times and see if you can still carry her in a straight line after that. I'm telling you, this game is really fun. Some people can't even carry her and will drop her. You'd better carry your wife well, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you can't carry her."
"Haha, that's right. If you drop the bride, we'll definitely tie you to a tree. What's the point of getting married if you're so embarrassing? You might as well give your bride to us."
"Hey, what are you saying? Zhang Zhiqing is Gouzi's wife. After we finish this game, Gouzi, why don't you and Zhang Zhiqing show us how to kiss? It's such a joyous occasion as a wedding, everyone should have some fun! We want to see a kiss, we want to see a kiss!"
"Look at them kissing! Look at them kissing!"
The four men were making a scene, refusing to let Gouzi carry Zhang Yan out. One minute they wanted him to walk in a straight line in circles, the next they wanted him to kiss her. If that didn't work, they even threatened to tie him to a tree. Some of them were just talking without thinking, not understanding the situation at all. They were actually enjoying seeing the groomsmen making things difficult for Gouzi and Zhang Yan.
"This is so much fun, haha! I don't think anyone on our team has ever done this before!"
"Yeah, yeah, let's see how capable this dog really is today!"
Some people even started to make a fuss, but most people felt that this was going too far and quickly spoke up to support Gouzi and Zhang Yan.
"What are you doing? You've ruined someone's wedding!"
"That's right, stop making a fuss and move aside. Let Gouzi carry Zhang Zhiqing to his bicycle, drive him around the team twice, and then take him home. They're waiting for the feast over there."
"No, it's part of the wedding procession. We're supposed to tease the bride and groom, and then we'll have to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber at night. What's the point if we don't?"
Li Chuan said with a grin, and the other three also laughed, but they just wouldn't move aside. Gouzi was furious, and Zhang Yan's face was also ashen. She wanted to get off Gouzi's back and slap them both. Her temper was really hard to control.
"Auntie, hurry up, it's your turn. Throw these troublemakers outside."
Yu Jiu couldn't stand it any longer, so she immediately directed the burly aunt to start taking action.
"Alright, just wait and see how I perform!"
The aunt shook her hand and immediately pushed through the crowd, roaring like a shrew.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't you know it's someone's getting married? You dare to cause trouble? I'll throw you to the ground!"
The aunt went over and grabbed Li Chuan, the most wicked one, by the collar and shoved him aside. Li Chuan was caught off guard and was dragged away, staggering back a few steps before falling to the ground with a thud.
He was completely bewildered. What had happened?
However, his aunt didn't give him a chance to react. She grabbed the two little chickens next to her, lifted them aside, and then pushed them down with a big push.
"So, do you want me to carry you away, or do you want to just collapse here yourself?"
His aunt asked him arrogantly.
"I'll pour it myself, no need to trouble you, Auntie."
The young man chuckled, then fell to the ground, slumping down. He gave his aunt a fawning smile, trembling with fear.
"That's more like it. Come on, Gouzi, carry Zhang Zhiqing to the bicycle. With me here, they won't dare to cause trouble!"
