Today was the wedding day of Yang Shuo and Qiao Chudong. The groom brought a group of people to the bride's house to have brunch, and then took the bride's wedding dowry and the bride back to the groom's house in a grand procession.
Qiao Chudong's wedding make-up was very rich, and Qiao Xinguo personally made several sets of solid wooden furniture.
There are wardrobes, chests of drawers, bedside tables, dressing cabinets...even washstands.
Moreover, radios, electric fans, color TVs, sewing machines, etc. are not big items that most families can afford.
In addition, there were more than twenty quilts and mattresses, as well as a lot of small daily necessities, such as thermos bottles in pairs, enamel basins, face towels, sugar jars, etc., all of which were available.
No one in the wedding procession can leave empty-handed.
A song called "Pink Memories" was playing from a tape recorder carried by a person at the front of the team.
The tune was sweet and cheerful, and the lyrics were particularly romantic and straightforward, full of the daughters' thoughts. The young girls in the wedding procession blushed when they heard it, and the scene was really lively and cheerful.
Qiao Zhixia brought her two little kids and Yaya, and each of them helped carry some small items of wedding dowry and followed the team to see her sister off to get married.
In addition, three brothers from my uncle's family were also invited to attend the wedding.
Qiao Xinguo and Li Aizhen stood in front of the gate and watched their daughter leave home again, both of them with tears in their eyes.
Marrying off a daughter brings mixed feelings. I am reluctant to let her go, but at the same time I hope she can live a stable life in another home.
Yang Shuo's family lived in the county town, so the Yang family arranged a fleet of vehicles to pick up the bride in advance.
After loading all the dowries into the car and neatly stacking them, the wedding party left Jingyang Village amid the enthusiastic embrace of the villagers.
Yang's parents were very satisfied with Qiao Chudong, so they naturally attached great importance to the wedding banquet. The banquet was held in the highest-standard hotel in the county.
The convoy arrived directly at the hotel, and many relatives of the Yang family had already gathered in front of the hotel.
Yang Shuo's father was promoted to an official position as mine manager, becoming a director-level cadre, so many relatives and colleagues came.
Forty tables were prepared for the banquet and all were occupied.
As the bride's family, Qiao Zhixia and her cousins were naturally warmly invited and seated at the main table.
Qiao Chudong wore a custom-made retro satin long-sleeved wedding dress. Because the weather was still a little cold, she put on a plush shawl over the wedding dress.
Qiao Zhixia had done her hair herself. She wore not a plastic hair flower but a few gorgeous red and white roses on her head, and had two curly bangs hanging down from her temples.
With light makeup on, her features are picturesque, and she looks confident and calm. She looks stylish and elegant, no worse than the Hong Kong stars on posters.
When Yang Shuo saw her for the first time, his eyes widened.
Amid the cheers of the guests, the newlyweds came to the center of the hall and offered tea to the elders of the Yang family.
As for the Qiao family, Yang Shuo changed his mind when he served tea to welcome the bride.
Qiao Chudong was surrounded and picked up the teacup, respectfully offering it to her mother-in-law with both hands. Her mother-in-law was beaming with joy and was about to take it when she heard an inappropriate quarrel coming from outside.
"Yang Shuo! You can't marry her!"
"Qiao Chudong, you can remarry, but you must return my daughter to me..."
The door opened and a man and a woman rushed in with great momentum, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The woman was tall and thin, with a square face that looked a little haggard. The thick foundation could not hide the roughness on her face. Her short curly hair was obviously not taken care of, and it was a little dry and frizzy.
This woman is Yang Shuo’s ex-wife, Liu Ying.
The woman's appearance was quite good, but her mental and skin condition was not good. She looked like she was in her thirties.
The other man is the shameless He Xuyang.
He and Yang Shuo are cousins. Yang Shuo didn't invite him to his wedding, but he still took the initiative to come.
He Xuyang and his mother saw that Qiao Chudong was determined not to turn back, so they could only set their sights on Yaya.
He tried to force Qiao Chudong to give up marrying Yang Shuo by taking Yaya away.
Yang Shuo's ex-wife was even more shameless. She started to confuse right and wrong and cried:
"Yang Shuo, when we first got married, you found a woman outside. When you found out, you started beating her and forcing her to divorce. But she was already pregnant with your child at the time, and she had been enduring it silently. But you beat her until she had a miscarriage, and she couldn't have sex anymore. How could you marry someone else?"
After the woman finished her tearful accusation, she sat on the ground and cried in despair. The pain and unwillingness of being betrayed by the ungrateful man were perfectly portrayed.
Many relatives who didn't know the truth had already begun to look at Yang Shuo with strange eyes.
Yang Shuo divorced suddenly at first. To save face for this woman, he told others that it was because of a disagreement. However, she took advantage of the fact that no one knew the truth and stabbed him in the back.
His hands dropped to his sides and unconsciously clenched into fists.
As a man, isn't it a humiliation for him to expose his ex-wife's cheating in front of so many people and that he caught her in bed?
And more importantly, what would Qiao Chudong think of him? What if she didn't believe him and regretted the marriage?
It was not until Qiao Chudong's cool fingers dug into his hot palms that he came back to his senses from his anger.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Qiao Chudong gently soothed his anger and uneasiness.
"You said that Ah Shuo betrayed your marriage and abused you. Do you have any evidence? Or are you just making up rumors?"
Qiao Chudong has always been quiet and introverted, but at this moment she is like a warrior charging into battle.
Liu Ying was just talking nonsense, so there is naturally no evidence. If there is any evidence, it would be false evidence.
But it was obvious that she was unprepared. She stopped sobbing and looked towards the door.
Everyone turned around and saw a rather frivolous man walking in from outside the door.
Yang Shuo recognized the man at a glance. He was the adulterer who had an affair with Liu Ying and was also Liu Ying's current husband.
"You are a witness. You beat Aying so hard that she couldn't even carry the child. You also used your power to suppress the news, leaving her without any compensation. You divorced her. You are not a human being!!!"
After the man finished speaking, he pouted at Yang Shuo arrogantly.
Now, more people looked at Yang Shuo with unfriendly eyes, and many began to whisper to each other.
Yang's parents were anxious and angry. They knew how much their son had suffered. Others didn't know, but didn't they know?
Yang Shuo's words of "let's part ways in peace" not only saved Liu Ying's face, but also gave her 200 yuan.
But this woman was obviously shameless. Yang's mother was about to confront Liu Ying when she heard Qiao Zhixia shouting at the door:
"Everyone, come in, drag this troublemaker out and beat him up, until he's injured or disabled..."
As soon as Qiao Zhixia finished speaking, a large group of thugs really rushed in from outside the door and dragged the man out.
The man was frightened by the fight, and the arrogance on his face turned into fear in an instant: "What are you doing? Beating people is illegal, you will be put in jail!"
"Didn't you say that we use our power to oppress others? God is oppressing you! Beat him!" Qiao Zhixia gave an order, and fists and feet rained down on the man.
He held his head and howled, his voice drowning out the gasps at the wedding banquet.
Liu Ying and He Xuyang were both shocked. They never thought that they would actually take action.
When they were both in a state of chaos, the man who was beaten finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to cry out:
"Stop hitting me... Stop hitting me... It was that bitch Liu Ying... She asked me to help her to give false evidence..."
