"Where are the people from the fourth family?"
Old Mrs. Meng entered Meng Qidi's room and saw only Sun Fang, with a frown on her face.
According to the old rule in the village, only by crying at the wedding can a girl get married in harmony.
Sun Fang smiled and said, "She must be at Yuzhen's place. It's okay. If she doesn't come over, I, as Xiaoqi's aunt, can just reluctantly be Xiaoqi's mother, right?"
The old lady glanced at her, sat down beside the bed, gently took Meng Qidi's hand, and sighed.
"Xiao Qi, since your mother is not here, I will have a few private words with you. Don't bear it in your heart that your family treated you unfairly in the past. This is the way it is in every family in our countryside. This is the disadvantage you suffer as a woman."
Meng Qidi lowered her head and nodded slightly without saying anything.
As if she had some sighs in her heart, the old lady talked a lot and kept talking to Meng Qidi.
Sun Fang on the side smiled and agreed.
Meng Qidi lowered her head and nodded slightly.
Meng Qidi's room was full of joy.
Meng Daqiang's house was next door. In order to save face, Meng Yuzhen's married room was next to Meng Daqiang and his wife's room.
"Sister-in-law, if you ask me, Yuzhen really married into a good family. Just looking at the home appliances outside, you can tell that the Nie family really likes Yuzhen. Otherwise, they would have no reason to send anything here. Look at Xiaoqi, she has nothing."
Meng Jianying's words made Zhao Hong and her daughter particularly happy.
Zhao Hong happily grabbed another handful of candy and stuffed it into her mouth. "Look at what her aunt said. This is also Yuzhen's blessing. This child has been blessed since childhood."
"But Yuzhen is very blessed."
Although Meng Jianying sneered in her heart, she still stuffed the candy into her bag with a smile.
Xiaoqi is so useless. Such a good marriage opportunity in the city was snatched away by Yuzhen. If she had known earlier, she would have asked her mother to give the marriage to her daughter.
Although Zhu Xiuhua, who was standing by, despised her sister-in-law's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help but join in when she saw the fourth brother's silly candy grabbing.
"This candy is even prettier than Xiaoqi's. Sister-in-law, this candy is expensive, right?"
Zhao Hong smiled and said, "I don't know if it's expensive or not, but it was sent by Nie Zheng and asked us to distribute it to everyone."
As they were talking, a few children shouted in the yard, "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Zhao Hong quickly picked up the red veil on the bed and said, "Oh, it came as soon as I said it."
The busy Zhao Hong had completely forgotten that her daughter was waiting for her next door.
There were three cars with big red wedding characters on them parked in front of the Meng family’s door.
The doors of the two cars opened and several men jumped out. Nie Hai pulled his son and reminded him not to talk nonsense. When he looked up, he was stunned when he saw the men jumping out of the opposite car.
"Captain Ling..."
Ling Xiao got off the wheel and looked over. He guessed that the other person was the man who was going to marry Meng Yuzhen. He smiled and said, "Mr. Nie is the groom today?"
Nie Hai quickly shook his head, "It's not me, it's my son. Are you getting married today too?"
Ling Xiao nodded slightly and glanced at Nie Zheng who was standing next to Nie Hai. "I guess I'll have to call him brother-in-law from now on."
Nie Hai was stunned, and said uncomfortably, "I'll trouble Captain Ling to take care of me in the future."
Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, "Mr. Nie, you are too polite. I am in this state, so I should trouble you. Please go in, don't delay the auspicious time."
Shen Xing hurriedly pushed Ling Xiao in first.
Nie Hai grabbed his son who wanted to follow him in and said in a low voice, "Don't walk around. Follow me closely."
"But...but...last time it was my brother..."
"Be obedient!" Nie Hai's voice became sterner.
The two grooms entered the yard one after another. The yard became lively with constant sound of firecrackers and candies scattered all over the ground.
Ling Xiao had been to the Meng family several times and knew Meng Qidi's room. He asked Shen Xing to push the wheelchair there, but when he arrived at the door, Meng Qidi had already walked out.
She was wearing a red cheongsam, red embroidered shoes, her hair was tied up, and her face was not overly made-up. Her skin was fair due to the influence of Yuquan Water, and her red lips made it difficult to take her eyes away.
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, limped to his feet, took the red veil from Meng Qidi's hand and covered her head, "Why did you come out?"
Her sight was blocked, Meng Qidi lifted a corner of her eyes to look at him, "I was afraid you couldn't get through the threshold."
Ling Xiao also changed into a suit. Although he had a flat haircut, it did not affect his appearance.
"Ling Xiao is here? Come in quickly." The voice of Old Lady Meng came from the room.
"Yes, the new son-in-law is here."
Ling Xiao glanced around the room, and saw the old lady and auntie inside, "Grandma, auntie."
"Come in quickly." Sun Fang greeted warmly.
Meng Qidi reached out to support Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao leaned on her and jumped in.
Shen Xing put the wheelchair in swiftly, and Meng Qidi helped Ling Xiao sit down.
When Ling Xiao came, Sun Fang felt embarrassed to sit inside, so she held her waist and went out to help.
As soon as the groom arrived, the Meng family's yard was cleaned up and five tables were set up. Meng Yuzhen's dowry and electrical appliances were moved to the wedding car outside.
When the two girls got married, they only held one banquet and received two gifts. Meng Daqiang was also generous and all eight dishes were meat.
The guests were originally a little dissatisfied with the Meng family for marrying off two daughters at once and receiving two gifts, but when they saw the dishes, they all smiled with satisfaction.
These days, no one can eat meat unless it is Chinese New Year.
After the wedding banquet, the bride was about to get in the car. Meng Yuzhen, the elder sister, went out first, followed by Meng Xiaopang. The one who accompanied Meng Qidi in the sedan chair was the little boy from the second room. He was a little shy and followed Meng Qidi closely.
Before the two sisters reached the door, Zhao Hong ran over from behind, crying, pushed Meng Qidi away, grabbed Meng Yuzhen, and cried uncontrollably.
The people behind were stunned and looked at Meng Qidi strangely.
Ling Xiao got up from the wheelchair and gently patted Meng Qidi on the shoulder. No wonder she wanted to leave the Meng family. A mother could be so partial to her...
Meng Qidi looked calm, as if she didn't notice the mother and daughter who were reluctant to part.
Meng Daqiang stood beside him, his eyes slightly red, his voice slightly hoarse, "Xiao Qi, there are still us."
"Xiao Qi, if you feel any grievances when you go over there, remember to come back and tell me." Old Mrs. Meng couldn't help but reach out and pat her arm.
The Meng family has many girls, and she only recently paid special attention to Xiaoqi.
It's also good to have a marriage exchange. Yuzhen asked for it herself, so she doesn't need to feel guilty.
"It's okay, you all go in." Meng Qidi reached out and supported Ling Xiao who was standing.
In fact, in rural areas, having a car to pick up the bride is considered respectable. Usually, the bride and groom ride in a sedan chair, and there will be no wedding banquet if the conditions are not met. The groom will take the bride back on a bicycle, or carry her back on his back.
After getting into the wedding car amid the cheers of the villagers, Meng Yuzhen couldn't help but lift up a corner of her veil and look proudly at Meng Qidi's car. She actually had two cars.
But when she looked over, Ling Xiao's wedding car slowly left amid the firecrackers...
Meng Yuzhen was getting married in the county town, but Meng Xiaopang, who was accompanying her on the wedding, did not go with her, and the boy who was accompanying Meng Qidi was too young.
As soon as the wedding car left, the Meng family returned to their former tranquility, and Zhao Hong sat on the doorstep wiping her tears.
Meng Daqiang gave her an unpleasant look and turned to go to the new house next door.
