What Zhou Yuanyuan said was not groundless. In order to educate her daughter not to always "bully" Wen Ziqing after marriage, Zhao Yunxiang had instilled in Zhou Yuanyuan many feudal dregs such as "regarding husband as God".
Zhou Yuanyuan brought this up today to test Wen Ziqing's feelings.
If Wen Ziqing is like most men, who likes everything his girlfriend says before marriage but dislikes everything his wife says after marriage, hehehe... Zhou Yuanyuan doesn't mind giving Wen Ziqing a "premarital education" and using force to teach him how to be a qualified man.
"Yuanyuan, I've always followed your lead." Wen Ziqing quickly flattered him, then muttered, "What our mom said is ridiculous. Look at our parents. They've been married for decades, and they always do whatever our mom tells them to do. How could they dare disobey? Yuanyuan, don't worry. We must maintain our family's fine traditions. From now on, you have the final say in everything in our family."
"Really? Brother Ziqing, actually, I'm very curious. How old were you back then? You were already thinking about getting married? You didn't agree to the marriage just to learn martial arts from my grandfather, did you?" Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and asked another question.
It's true, this matter really lingered in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind. Whenever she thought about how she had agreed to be the "partner" because Wen Ziqing wanted to learn martial arts, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a pang of resentment.
"Yuanyuan, you know that the reason I wanted to learn martial arts from grandpa was because I couldn't live without you!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Ziqing quickly said some nice words to make Zhou Yuanyuan happy.
Wen Ziqing could guess a little about the little girl's thoughts. He'd heard some people were like that: the closer the wedding date got, the more anxious they became, a condition known as "pre-wedding phobia." No, he couldn't let the little girl continue to overthink things like that. How about doing something to keep her occupied?
Do it when you think of it.
Wen Ziqing, who has strong execution ability, took advantage of Zhou Yuanyuan finishing a handful of melon seeds in her mouth and decisively kissed her bright red little mouth.
Well, it's finally quiet now.
Five days later, the wedding took place as scheduled.
Zhao Xiaocao and her family arrived in Kyoto City yesterday and were arranged to stay temporarily at Zhao Guohui's home.
According to the order arranged by Zhao Yunxiang, this morning, Zhou Jiasheng went to Zhao Qingshan's house to pick up Zhao Xiaocao to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. After having lunch at Zhao Guohui's house, he took Zhao Xiaocao home.
Wen Ziqing went to Zhou's house to pick up Zhou Yuanyuan to get a marriage certificate. After lunch, Wen Ziqing took Zhou Yuanyuan to the Wen family's old house to hold the wedding ceremony.
Early in the morning, Zhou Yuanyuan was dug out of bed by Zhao Yunxiang.
"Mom! It's not even dawn yet! Why are you getting up so early?" Zhou Yuanyuan complained and yawned.
"Yuanyuan, you didn't forget, did you? Today is your wedding day. The bride should get up early and dress up nicely." Zhao Yunxiang frowned. Yuanyuan, this girl, is too carefree, isn't she? She's getting married today, how can she not be nervous at all?
Back then, Zhao Yunxiang tossed and turned the whole night before her wedding and couldn't sleep well. Zhao Yunxiang thought Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't sleep, so she woke up early to talk to her daughter.
"Ah? Is it today? I thought it was tomorrow!" Zhou Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
Zhou Yuanyuan really forgot.
When Zhou Yuanyuan first heard about the wedding in a few days, she was nervous for a day or two. But after Wen Ziqing consoled her, she decided that Wen Ziqing was right and that whether she got married or not wouldn't affect her life, so she put the matter behind her.
Anyway, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't need to worry about the wedding. On the wedding day, all she had to do was dress beautifully and show off in front of everyone. Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Xi had arranged everything else.
"You kid, you even forget the important events in your life. How come you don't care at all?" Zhao Yunxiang raised her hand angrily and slapped Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Ouch! It hurts! Mom! You are not thinking that you will have a daughter-in-law who will hurt you in the future, so you can't wait to throw me out the door?" Zhou Yuanyuan touched the arm that was slapped by Zhao Yunxiang and said with pretended grievance.
Zhou Yuanyuan noticed that her mother was a little nervous today. So, Zhou Yuanyuan deliberately acted cute to cheer Zhao Yunxiang up. Otherwise, when her sister-in-law came in, her mother would frown and look sullen. The relatives and friends who came to watch the ceremony would think her mother was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law!
Look! She is such a sweet and caring girl!
Zhou Yuanyuan gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
"You are so heartless. Fortunately, Ziqing is willing to give in to you in everything. Otherwise, it would be strange if your in-laws didn't dislike you as a daughter-in-law who can't even remember the wedding date wrong." Zhao Yunxiang was teased by Zhou Yuanyuan and really put her nervous mood behind her.
Zhao Yunxiang didn't sleep much last night.
Although marrying a daughter-in-law today was a great occasion for the addition of a child, Zhou Yuanyuan's wedding also happened to be on the same day, which made Zhao Yunxiang a little sad.
The daughter I raised with so much effort is going to marry someone else? I don't need to worry about Ziqing being good to my daughter, but I wonder if the other people in the Wen family will be good to Yuanyuan?
Before, General Zhou insisted on letting Wen Ziqing marry into the family. Although Zhao Yunxiang felt a little sorry for this good man, she felt at ease. With Wen Ziqing marrying into the family, Zhou Yuanyuan would always be under Zhao Yunxiang's watchful eye. She could see and touch her daughter every day, and she would be able to feel her daughter's happiness firsthand.
General Zhou later changed his mind and agreed to let Zhou Yuanyuan marry into the Wen family. Zhao Yunxiang couldn't help but start to worry.
After her daughter got married, she would leave home. Although the couple was temporarily living in the wedding house that Zhao Yunxiang had prepared for them, who knew if the Wen family would say something and force them to move back to the Wen family? Zhao Yunxiang's own experience made her feel that living with a large group of people from her in-laws was definitely a hassle.
Zhao Yunxiang recalled the early years of her marriage to Zhou Zhixin. As a new bride, she was shy and embarrassed to speak to her parents even when her in-laws were bullying her. Although those events had happened many years ago, they had left a deep impression on Zhao Yunxiang.
It’s okay for Zhao Yunxiang to suffer a little bit, but when she thinks about her daughter who might experience the same difficulties she has experienced, Zhao Yunxiang can’t help but worry.
"Mom, don't worry. Brother Ziqing will treat me well, and I will treat him well too." Seeing that Zhao Yunxiang was still frowning, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly comforted her.
Zhao Yunxiang's frown relaxed a little. Indeed, Ziqing was a child she had watched grow up, and Zhao Yunxiang trusted his character. On the other hand, Yuanyuan often took advantage of Ziqing's affection for her and bullied him.
