The convoy sped along the winding mountain road and soon arrived at the village where Chen Linlin lived.
This village, hidden among the mountains like a paradise, left Wang Hu, who was used to life on the plains, in awe of the sight before him.
The houses in the village are built against the mountain in a staggered manner, with each house far away from its neighbor, which is quite different from the layout of houses that are closely connected in the plains.
These houses are mostly two-story villas with unique architectural styles, which clearly indicates that the villagers are living in a fairly good economic situation.
However, the only road connecting the village to the outside world is a narrow cement road that winds its way through the mountains. This makes going up and down the mountain quite difficult for the residents.
The vehicles slowly came to a stop in front of Chen Linlin's house. As soon as the convoy stopped, a burst of firecrackers broke the tranquility of the mountain village.
The sudden sound of firecrackers put Wang Hu at ease; at least from the welcoming gesture, it didn't seem like they were going to attack him.
Wang Hu opened the car door, and before he could even stand up straight, a group of relatives and friends surged towards the door like a tide, surrounding Chen Linlin tightly.
They showed great concern and care for Chen Linlin, creating a lively atmosphere.
The female bodyguard who was originally responsible for protecting Chen Linlin was now pushed aside, looking somewhat at a loss.
As soon as the firecrackers stopped, Seventh Sister, leaning on her cane, squeezed to the front and reached out to touch Chen Linlin's stomach.
Seventh Sister: "Linlin! How many months along are you? Did the doctor say whether it's a boy or a girl?"
Chen Linlin blushed and laughed, "Seventh Sister, why are you in such a hurry! It's only been a little over eight months. Wang Hu and I both want to keep it a surprise!"
My cousin's wife emerged from the crowd and pinched her arm.
My cousin's wife said, "Oh my, your face is so fair and radiant! Do you eat chicken soup every single meal?"
Chen Linlin said, "Why would I eat free-range chicken soup?! The smell of even a hint of meat makes me want to vomit!"
Lin Xiuqin smiled and gently tapped Chen Linlin and her cousin-in-law: "All you two know is Longmen Town!" Then she turned to Wang Hu and gestured with her chin, "Linlin, hurry up and introduce this young man, who is he?"
Wang Hu felt a little nervous upon hearing this, but he quickly stood up straight, a slightly restrained smile on his face, and said, "Mom, hello! My name is Wang Hu, and I'm really happy to meet you!"
On the way here, Chen Linlin had already shown Wang Hu a photo of her family, so Wang Hu recognized Lin Xiuqin at a glance.
However, Wang Hu's cry of "Mom" was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. The people present were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Amid the laughter, a loud male voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Haha, what a silly boy, calling someone 'Mom' before even getting married!"
These words ignited Chen Linlin's fury instantly. She whirled around, glared at the man, and retorted without hesitation, "Chen Kuiqing, you're the fool! Get out of here! Don't even think about eating at my banquet; you're not welcome here!"
Seeing this, Lin Xiuqin immediately sided with Chen Linlin, chiming in, "That's right! What's wrong with my son-in-law calling me 'Mom'?"
Chen Linlin's action won cheers from her relatives and friends.
"Linlin, make something of yourself!"
"Linlin is so incredibly domineering!"
Chen Kuiqing felt humiliated after being scolded by Chen Linlin and could only slink away.
Just then, a loud and powerful male voice suddenly came from Chen Linlin's yard: "Alright! Stop chatting and come inside!"
Wang Hu looked over at the sound and saw a man with a deep voice and gray hair standing in the courtyard. His voice was full of energy and seemed to penetrate people's eardrums.
Wang Hu was not familiar with this man, but thought he must be the uncle or elder who had been invited to handle the wedding and funeral arrangements.
Surrounded by a crowd, Wang Hu and Chen Linlin walked into the courtyard together. Behind them followed a group of bodyguards in black suits, each carrying a gift, looking quite impressive.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Linlin smiled and pointed to the man who had spoken earlier, introducing him to Wang Hu: "This is Master Qi."
Upon seeing this, Wang Hu quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Master Qi, and said, "Greetings, Master Qi!"
Upon seeing this, Master Qi smiled kindly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good, good, good!"
Like Wang Hu's village, Chen Linlin also has many relatives and friends here.
There were young children and elderly people here, all of whom affectionately called Chen Linlin "Grandpa" or "Grandma".
Fortunately, Wang Hu had come prepared. He had bought a large number of small gifts in advance so that he could give them as a token of his appreciation when he visited relatives and friends. So, he began to distribute the gifts to everyone one by one, and each person received a small surprise.
When Chen Lin's father, Chen Yuanchuan, was introduced, Wang Hu was initially nervous, worried that he would be treated coldly. However, the reality was completely different from his expectations.
Chen Yuanchuan not only didn't treat him coldly, but instead acted very kindly, which surprised and delighted Wang Hu.
"Dad! Hello!"
He simply said, "It's good that the child is here!"
Wang Hu could tell that his father-in-law, like his own father Wang Jianguo, was the kind of person who only knew how to work but was good at expressing himself!
Chen Linlin had secretly told her mother not to show the gifts.
But people in rural areas care a lot about saving face, otherwise they wouldn't go to work together and leave their son and daughter at home!
Once they saw it, they would understand why they hired so many bodyguards: the cash was in yuan! It was packed in two large red wooden crates!
In addition, there are other valuable items such as gold jewelry, jade, ginseng, deer antler, and a whole bunch of other things!
"No wonder he's the richest man in the country; his dowry is certainly impressive!"
I don't know where this claim of being the richest man in the country came from. Wang Hu is far from being the richest man in the country; he's more like a small-time tycoon!
Then everyone started flattering Chen Yuanchuan and Lin Xiuqin, and soon no one mentioned their premarital pregnancy anymore!
Such a generous son-in-law is enough to cover up his flaws.
Just then, the girls who had surrounded Chen Linlin suddenly said, "No wonder you brought so many bodyguards!"
Chen Linlin suddenly blurted out, "That's not the most important thing! When I came here, I told him that my dad had hired a lot of people to teach him a lesson!"
"He hired bodyguards to block them so he could escape!"
Although the girls sat inside the room the whole time, the door was open, and Chen Linlin's voice was loud and clear.
Most of the people at the banquet heard this and burst into laughter, making Wang Hu blush deeply!
