at the same time.
Northwest Labor Reform Farm.
When the news of Li Dahong's death and Zhang Weiguo's execution reached Li Fugui and Gu Tao's ears at the same time.
These two men, who had once been in cahoots, reacted in completely different ways.
After undergoing inhuman transformation on the farm, Gu Tao's edges had long been smoothed out.
Upon hearing this news, he simply gave a numb "oh" and continued to bury himself in his work.
For him, the outside world was no longer relevant.
He just wanted to serve his sentence peacefully and then find a place where no one knew him to live out the rest of his life.
Li Fugui, an old charlatan who had spent most of his life swindling money by pretending to be a ghost, was shocked to hear that his mistress and her son had met such an end.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grinned, revealing his missing front tooth, and started to chuckle maniacally.
"Karma...karma..."
He laughed while tears streamed down his face, muttering to himself.
"I told you, their family's feng shui is bad, their fates are incompatible... They wouldn't listen to me... Now look what happened... Everything's ruined..."
From that day on, Li Fugui went completely insane.
He spent his days muttering incoherently on the farm, telling everyone he met that he was the Jade Emperor descended to earth, capable of divination and giving orders.
Finally, he was treated as a madman and locked up in a place on the farm that specifically housed mentally ill criminals.
He spent the rest of his ridiculous and pathetic life in endless darkness and madness.
Thus, all those who had been enemies of Ye Nian'an received the most severe retribution they deserved.
It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.
What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.
Ye Nian'an and her family finally overcame all obstacles and gloom, ushering in the brightest and most brilliant chapter of their lives.
The entire city of Haicheng is eagerly anticipating the grand celebration that will bring three joyous occasions to the city.
Happiness has only just begun.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
Haicheng welcomed the hottest summer of 1982, and was about to host an unprecedented and sensational grand celebration.
Ye Nian'an, Chu Xin'er, Leng Siqing, and Shen Shuling successfully graduated from Haicheng University.
The "triple celebration" that everyone had been talking about for so long finally began amidst everyone's eager anticipation!
The weather was pleasant and the breeze was gentle; it was a rare and auspicious day.
Early in the morning, the entire Ye and Chu family compound was completely immersed in a sweet and festive atmosphere of busy activity.
"Grandma, Grandma, we're all ready, when do we start?"
Xiao Wu, already dressed and ready, tugged at Jin Xiangyu's sleeve, tilted her delicate, pretty face up, and asked in a childish voice.
"Yes, yes, we can't wait to shower our aunts and maternal aunts with flower petals!"
Xiao Qi, who was running behind, echoed her, her eyes full of excited anticipation.
Jin Xiangyu looked at the group of well-behaved and adorable little ones in front of her, and her heart was almost melted by their cuteness. She smiled and squatted down, patting each of their little heads.
"Oh my little darlings, don't worry, you'll be there soon! Look how smartly you all look today, you're sure to be the most handsome and beautiful flower girls in the world!"
On the other side, Chi Xinyao was carefully checking the gift list and directing the helpers to load various gifts onto the car.
Several of the older children also gathered around obediently.
"Grandma, Grandma, look how pretty our flower basket is! The petals inside smell so good!"
"We promise we'll walk steadily and scatter flowers all over the ground, so everyone can share in the joy!"
Chi Xinyao looked at the group of sensible and adorable little ones, her smile filled with boundless love.
"Of course you're beautiful! Our little flower girl group has a very important task today! If you do a great job, Grandma will give you a big red envelope later!"
The most eye-catching part of today's grand ceremony is undoubtedly the flower girl lineup, which can be described as the "most luxurious in history," consisting of ten children from Chu Yan and Ye Nian'an's family.
The eight-year-olds, Dada and Er'er, dressed in sharp, miniature suits and stylish bow ties, looked every bit the little gentlemen.
San San, dressed in a princess dress, looked as beautiful as an angel and melted everyone's hearts.
The remaining seven four-year-olds, four boys in little suits and three girls in fluffy white princess dresses.
They also wore delicate flower wreaths on their heads, each one exquisitely crafted, as cute as a lucky doll that stepped out of a New Year's painting.
These ten little ones, all together, are so well-behaved and sensible; they're practically a moving, adorable sight that can melt anyone's heart.
The auspicious time is approaching.
Three wedding processions set off simultaneously from the Chu family compound.
Chu Yan, Song Yan, and Ye Sheng all changed into their crispest military uniforms or suits today, their faces bearing the same excitement and joy at the prospect of winning the hearts of their beloved.
Xu Yao, Ye Yao, Ye Hui, Leng Siqing, and others formed the strongest "family and friends group," each following one of the three wedding cars, banging gongs and drums all the way, attracting passersby to stop and cast envious glances.
The first stop, naturally, was the Ye family home where the brides resided.
Ye Nian'an's room was already packed with people.
She herself was in no hurry, sitting calmly in front of the dressing table, letting the makeup artist apply the last touch of light makeup to her.
The woman in the mirror has bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as white as snow.
She wore a pure white long-sleeved wedding dress, simple yet elegant in style, which perfectly accentuated her slender figure.
Her veil hung lightly, and her eyes and brows revealed a gentle grace befitting a wife and mother.
