It's just that we're destined to meet again.
The old Lu family house where Lu Xiaolan and Zhao Mingzhe lived was even closer than Lu Mingcai's house, which practically put the two of them right under her nose.
She doesn't even need to leave her house to have the gifts delivered, and she can watch the live stream – it's like lightning speed.
Furthermore, Lu Xiaolan and Zhao Mingzhe both fell and tripped, and when they returned home, they both looked quite unwell.
What should have been a joyous wedding turned into a nightmare, with both the newlyweds looking miserable, which only made those attending the wedding feel even worse.
These people were all invited by Lu Mingcai to his wedding banquet. He said that Zhao Mingzhe was an educated youth and his situation was special, so his daughter's wedding was the same as his son's wedding, and he invited everyone to join in the joy.
To put it bluntly, it's about getting people to contribute money as a gift.
Moreover, the amount of money given as a gift cannot be less than the standard for banquets in the past.
Everyone knew perfectly well that this was Lu Mingcai's wicked scheme, but no one dared to offend him openly.
After all, he's still the village's head. What if he angers people and they make things difficult for him?
But even though the person came and the red envelope was given, I still didn't feel quite right about it.
Especially these days, it's not easy for a family to earn a penny. Every family has a large family to support, young and old. They have to stretch every penny. And with the end of the year approaching, the money in this red envelope is enough to buy a lot of New Year's goods.
Therefore, seeing the newlyweds' attitude, everyone felt like they had swallowed a fly.
Aunt Zhang didn't know what had happened, and seeing that Lu Xiaolan and Zhao Mingzhe both had long faces, she was also very unhappy.
He pulled Lu Xiaolan aside and said a few words to her, which calmed her down, and she started to beam with joy again.
Niu Li watched the mother and daughter from the side, inwardly mocking them.
With Lu Xiaolan's character, she didn't believe she had the ability to follow Zhao Mingzhe back to the city!
Still want to be a city dweller, haha!
The worst thing is having ambitions that are too high for your destiny!
At least this scourge has finally been married off, and I don't have to see him every day anymore; just looking at his face is disgusting!
After the banquet ended, Lu Xiaolan was so tired that she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and didn't want to move. She even pulled Zhao Mingzhe along with her. The two of them just watched as the people who came to help clean up. They didn't say a single polite word and didn't even give them a good look. It made them feel like servants of a landlord.
Seeing this, Aunt Li said she was tired and her back hurt, so she asked her daughter-in-law to help her home.
As soon as she got home, she complained to Lu Mingfa, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) sobering up, "How did your brother raise all those spoiled brats! They don't know any manners at all, it's infuriating to look at them!"
Lu Mingfa rubbed his forehead. "Mind your own business! She's a married daughter now, like water spilled from a cup. If you don't want to see her, just pretend you don't."
Lu Mingfa was very disappointed in his younger brother's family.
He had reminded them more than once to be careful, not to go too far, not to clash with the Huo family, to treat the educated youth reasonably, and to try not to get too involved with them.
Who knew that all his instructions were ignored?
Look at the things he's done!
Each one is more outrageous than the last!
They even resorted to such a foolish move to marry Da Hua to Zhao Mingzhe!
He went to a wedding banquet today, and he felt so embarrassed sitting there!
Aunt Li still felt a lump in her throat. Although as an elder she didn't have to be mindful of the younger generation's feelings, being treated so disrespectfully by a junior still made her resentful.
Finally, Aunt Li gave a speech to her family, telling them to stay away from Lu Xiaolan and Zhao Mingzhe in the future.
When Aunt Zhang finished her chores, she saw her daughter-in-law, Niu Li, sitting to the side resting. She was a little unhappy, but considering that her daughter-in-law had just lost her child and that she had only brought her back, she held back her anger and simply said, "Alright, let's go home."
After saying that, Aunt Zhang shouted to Lu Xiaolan and Zhao Mingzhe inside the house.
Neither of them came down to see them off; they only responded with a simple "Take care."
Aunt Zhang didn't think anything was wrong, and her face even had a knowing smile.
After leaving the house, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Looking at how affectionate these two are, they might be able to hold their child next year. When Zhao Zhiqing returns to the city, it will be a family of three."
When Niu Li heard her mention the child, her heart suddenly ached, as if she had been stabbed.
She looked away as if she hadn't heard Aunt Zhang's words, but her heart was filled with resentment, which ultimately turned into a deep sarcasm.
"Yes, I hope that day comes soon. When that time comes, you can go live in the big city with your sister-in-law and see what the capital is like."
Aunt Zhang was overjoyed to hear this, but she wasn't completely oblivious. She smiled and comforted Niu Li, "When the time comes, we'll have your sister and brother-in-law put in a good word. Maybe they can even get you two out of here, so you won't have to stay stuck in this poor mountain village forever. So, you have to treat them well from now on. Think long-term. Your father and I only have these two children. They're both our flesh and blood, and we can't let either of them suffer."
Niu Li outwardly agreed, but inwardly she scoffed.
The idea that both hands are equally precious is utter nonsense!
Those two old guys are so biased towards Lu Xiaolan, they've completely favored her!
She's not going to be fooled again!
Once everyone who was an eyesore in the house was gone, Lu Xiaolan couldn't wait to get intimate with Zhao Mingzhe.
As a result, Zhao Mingzhe couldn't help but think about the scene of Ye Weiwei getting out of the car today. His mind was filled with Ye Weiwei's image, and he didn't want to look at Lu Xiaolan's round face at all.
Absolutely no interest!
Lu Xiaolan, however, was like a female dog in heat, constantly rubbing against Zhao Mingzhe, and deliberately speaking in that coquettish, greasy voice, while her seductive eyes flew around in a frightening way.
"Mingzhe, how have you been recovering these past few days? Tonight is our wedding night, a once-in-a-lifetime event, you can't spoil the fun!" Lu Xiaolan said, giving him a flirtatious wink. "I've been preparing for tonight for a long time."
As she spoke, she took off her outer clothes and showed Zhao Mingzhe her red undergarment.
To show her elegance and to suit Zhao Mingzhe's taste, she specially embroidered an orchid in the center of her bodice, around her heart.
"Mingzhe-ge~~~ Do you think I'm pretty?"
Blink, blink, blink!
Looking at Lu Xiaolan's dark and yellowish skin, Zhao Mingzhe couldn't help but think of Ye Weiwei's fair and radiant face, wondering what it would look like if Ye Weiwei wore that red bellyband.
Seeing Zhao Mingzhe staring intently at her undergarment, Lu Xiaolan thought she had already won him over with her appearance, and could no longer restrain herself, so she pounced on Zhao Mingzhe and pushed him down onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
