Su Lin fumbled in his pocket for a long time before finally finding the pen.
Seeing that Li Baichuan signed his name without saying a word or hesitating at all, Su Lin frowned.
He now only feels that his sister must have given him some kind of mind-altering drug; if it were him, he would probably turn around and leave immediately.
After Li Baichuan finished signing, he respectfully handed the agreement to his brother-in-law, and the others following behind couldn't bear to watch.
Su Lin took the agreement in a daze, then looked at his mother with a confused expression.
This isn't what he expected. What should he do next?
"Alright, let your brother-in-law in now." Guo Xuqing felt she shouldn't have listened to her son's idea; she figured her daughter would get angry with her soon.
Her son-in-law is such a good person, they shouldn't bully him! Guo Xuqing's heart is now truly on Li Baichuan's side.
"So fast, even Brother Su Lin has been defeated. No, we must hold on." The people inside the house couldn't see what was happening outside.
All we know is that Su Lin made the groom sign something, probably those agreements promising to treat Su well.
They felt this shouldn't be happening, guessing that Su Lin had gone easy on them, and they were all unsure whether they should make things difficult for him.
Even her own brother didn't make things difficult for her, so it's not good for them to go too far.
"It's alright, go ahead and ask for wedding candy and money. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Su Ti noticed their hesitation and smiled to reassure them.
She was just curious why her brother was being so agreeable this time; she thought he would take the opportunity to have a good match with Baichuan.
During the first two phone calls, he said he would bring a few more capable men with him when picking up the bride, but it turned out they weren't needed.
Before Suti could figure it out, there was a knock on the door.
"Wife, I've come to pick you up." Li Baichuan's voice was filled with excitement.
"Brother-in-law, if you want to pick up the bride, you have to show some appreciation." The men outside had all given up, and they didn't plan to make a scene.
But they still wanted all the wedding money and candy they were entitled to.
Upon hearing this, Li Baichuan knew that the people inside were his wife's sisters, and he hurriedly took out the wrapped red envelopes from his pocket.
Fearing it wasn't enough, they emptied the pockets of several people in Biancheng, then took a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and threw it in through the half-open glass door from the top.
"Is it okay now?" Li Baichuan was a little annoyed that he hadn't brought more red envelopes.
The people inside the door laughed and opened the red envelopes. They were just trying to bring good luck, and they were especially happy to see the bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
This bag isn't cheap; there are only a few of them, so it'll be quite a lot to share.
But when they opened the red envelope, they found it contained not the one or five cents they expected, but a large ten-yuan note.
The group was taken aback by the large sum of money given to them. They felt the money was too hot to handle and turned to Su Ti, wanting to return it to her.
"Here you go, take it. This is your only chance. If you're not satisfied, keep asking."
Seeing that they were all frightened, Suti still wanted to give the money to her, so she quickly tried to persuade them to stop.
"Satisfied, satisfied." Seeing that Suti really didn't care, and considering her family background, the group felt that these things were nothing.
The group opened the door with smiles on their faces, showing no sign of stopping them. What could they do? The other party had given them so much.
Li Baichuan was anxious because he hadn't heard any noise inside. He thought that if all else failed, he should send Biancheng back to get the money, since it wasn't appropriate to borrow it.
Before he could even speak, the door opened, and they were greeted by a series of warm, smiling faces.
Li Baichuan didn't care about anything else and hurriedly went inside, knowing that his wife was inside.
"Honey, I've come to pick you up." Li Baichuan saw his wife and gave her a bright smile.
The group from Biancheng who followed behind were also dumbfounded. The moment they saw Su Ti, they suddenly understood Li Baichuan's impulsiveness.
Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman; they all know that.
Suti stared blankly at the exceptionally handsome man who was dressed today, who was smiling at her. The other girls next to her covered their mouths and laughed. Finally, she gave him a shy glare.
"Wife, shall we go?" Li Baichuan felt extremely pleased when he saw his wife glaring at him. His wife was truly beautiful, especially beautiful today.
Su Ti stood up and went outside with Li Baichuan.
There will be no custom of bidding farewell to parents, and all old ideas must be discarded, even though people still do many things secretly behind the scenes.
But these things are not acceptable in the open.
Suti saw that her grandmother's eyes were red and she didn't dare to look at her. Her heart, which hadn't felt sad before, suddenly felt like it had been pierced with a hole.
“Grandma…” Su Ti murmured.
Seeing his wife like this, Li Baichuan knew that she was reluctant to leave her family.
"Honey, don't be sad. We'll see each other again at the Friendship Hotel later," Li Baichuan quickly comforted her.
Suti glanced at her family, and finally steeled herself to step out the door, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would suffer even more.
Guo Xuqing didn't feel too bad at first, since they would be able to meet again when they went out to eat.
But the atmosphere was right, and it would feel wrong not to cry, so she and her mother both teared up.
Su got into the car and saw her grandparents, parents, and brother standing at the door watching her. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Li Baichuan carefully held and comforted the person until all the cars behind were arranged, and then they set off with the betrothal gifts and dowry.
Suti was still feeling unwell halfway there, but he regained his senses when they were almost at the military compound.
"The bride has arrived!" A burst of firecrackers greeted them as soon as they entered the courtyard.
When the bride's family saw that the groom's grandfather and father had come out to greet them, they quickly got out of the car and exchanged pleasantries.
When Su Ti got out of the car, he saw many people standing in the courtyard. Some looked familiar, and some he didn't recognize.
"Girl, you must be exhausted. Come on, let's go home." Marshal Li smiled, his eyes crinkling.
His words made it clear to everyone around him that the old marshal was extremely satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law.
Suti nodded to his grandfather and the others, and the people behind them threw a handful of candy before the group went inside.
There's no such thing as bowing to heaven and earth anymore. They just stood there listening to the officiant spout some revolutionary rhetoric, and then they bowed together before going back inside.
"Honey, you rest for a bit. We'll go to the Friendship Hotel in a little while. I'll go down and take a look first." Li Baichuan didn't want to leave, but he knew there was a lot of things waiting for him.
The midday banquet was the most important part; his father-in-law's family and other relatives were waiting there.
"Be careful what you say when you go up there. Don't offend anyone. I can tell that girl is not simple."
Zheng Kangye, who had rushed to the wedding, grabbed his wife and gave her instructions repeatedly. It hadn't been long before the political situation in Beijing changed drastically.
