Extra 17: Bad Friends



The moment Chen Liang realized that Lian Rendong had run away from his marriage, his mind worked faster than anyone else's.

With his heart pounding like a drum, he took great action and found a group of colleagues and friends, borrowed a bicycle team, and married his bride in a grand ceremony.

Although the car had not been washed in time and had not been carefully decorated with red cloth, Chen Liang's clothes were not brand new and had some flaws on them.

But the moment he appeared, Li Tao felt as if he was a heavenly soldier saving her from danger.

Rumors are scary. It was suffocating to have so many people commenting on her.

Lian Rendong would rather choose the mentally ill Zhu Xiu than her, a girl from the countryside. His incredible behavior at the wedding caused Li Tao to fall into controversy.

It may seem insignificant in hindsight, just some people's gossip, but at the time it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

No one expected that Chen Liang would stand up and say that he was the groom.

Not only did he joyfully bring Li Tao from the troubled Lian family to the Chen family to hold the wedding, he also said that the Lian family's party was only the bride's wedding banquet.

The wedding will be held at Chen's house in a week, and relatives and friends of the Chen family will be invited to witness the love.

Although this does not conform to the wedding process, it has saved face to the greatest extent. Everyone enjoyed the wedding banquet, sighed that true love is supreme, and then buried their heads in the delicious food.

After all, other people's lives can't bring them any benefits, and are not as mouth-watering as the piece of meat in front of them.

After being rescued, a dazed Li Tao rode her bicycle to the foot of Chenjialou before realizing her groom had changed?!

She came to her senses and got off the bike, looking pitifully downcast. "I know Brother Chen wants to help me out, but you don't have to..."

There's no need to sacrifice your reputation to help her like this.

Lian Rendong's brief letter directly shattered all her dignity, and the gossip of the crowd made Li Tao humbled to the dust.

It turns out that you can’t have a happy life just by working hard.

It's not that she can get rid of her identity as a rural girl just by going to the county town. Everyone will use these things to belittle her and look down on her identity.

I don’t mean to say that rural areas are bad, it’s just that in the county town, rural people are discriminated against.

Obviously, everyone is equal at work, but at this moment, Li Tao is singled out as an outsider and attacked and slandered wantonly. It is so chilling.

She just wants a better life and wants to break free from the shackles of fate, so why can't she do it?

Chen Liang pedaled his bicycle all the way, sweat on his forehead and a bright look in his eyes: "What do you mean by rescue? You are the wife I snatched away with great difficulty!"

The man's sincere eyes made the atmosphere around them ambiguous, and Li Tao raised her eyes belatedly.

At this moment, she suddenly understood a word she had learned as a child: express one's feelings through eyes and eyebrows.

It turns out that some people can really make the other person feel loved through micro-expressions between their eyebrows and eyes. She stared at Chen Liang blankly, and the atmosphere was just right.

"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"

Chen Liang's bad friends nearby watched the fun and made faces at places where the two of them weren't noticing, and naughtily urged the couple to take it a step further.

They succeeded in making Li Tao turn her back in shame, not daring to look at anyone. Chen Liang loved and hated these close friends.

These people never hesitate when it comes to serious matters. He just shouts and a team of eight bicycles shows up, more enthusiastic than when they get married themselves.

But now that he has a wife, they are the ones who are most likely to ruin the atmosphere. Look how embarrassed Li Tao is that she wants to find a hole to crawl into.

Chen Liang had no choice but to quickly appease his new wife, but his brothers joined together to criticize him: "She forgets her loyalty for the sake of beauty, throws it away after using it, and burns the bridge after crossing it..."

These people are really awesome!

Just when Chen Liang was in a dilemma, his brother Chen Wei came out to help: "No matter how much trouble you make, Xiaoliang, come up here and explain to Dad what happened today."

This was clearly a case of settling scores, and the group of bad friends immediately retreated when they saw that the situation was not going well.

They ran away so fast that Chen Liang could only cheer himself up and went upstairs with trembling feet to face his family, followed by the hesitant Li Tao.

We shouldn't have met under such circumstances, it felt awkward, but she followed me anyway.

No matter what, it was Chen Liang who saved her from the embarrassing situation just now, and she couldn't let Chen Liang face the scolding at home alone.

There are a lot of bamboo strips piled up in the Chen family's living room. These are the raw materials for Chen's father's handicrafts.

They make bamboo baskets and sell them at the pigeon market, earning at least a few dollars a month for vegetables. The older generation can't sit idle, so even after retirement, Dad Chen continues to work.

Chen Liang walked in with shaking legs, and knelt on the ground without saying a word, looking like a little cabbage that could be beaten and scolded at will.

Chen's father and Xiang Meimei were about to say that he was acting rashly, but when they saw Li Tao quietly peeking her head out of the door, they changed the subject and used more tactful words.

No matter what, there were signs of this between these two people before, and the family can't keep looking unhappy.

Xiang Meimei frowned and said, "For something this serious, you should at least inform your family first. Dad heard about it from the neighbors and was so scared that he almost fainted."

She wasn't trying to scare anyone. When Mr. Chen got the news while making bamboo baskets, he was almost frightened to death.

The elderly are not young anymore and they always have various illnesses. They cannot bear to hear such surprising or happy news, and accidents can easily happen to them.

We are all adults now, we can't be so reckless in doing things, we have to think about our family.

What his sister-in-law said made sense. Chen Liang nodded repeatedly, admitted his mistake, and apologized to his father.

He was indeed too anxious, thinking only of marrying his sweetheart, and he didn't care about anything else in that short reaction time.

Father Chen ignored his son's apology. Instead, he kept his eyes on Li Tao at the door. "Girl, come in and sit down. Let's talk about your two things."

No matter what, the new daughter-in-law is already at the door. Let's ignore the mistakes made by the son for now and find out Li Tao's wishes.

If a girl has no intention of getting married, forcing them to be a couple will only result in them becoming resentful of each other.

Although Mr. Chen is confident in his son's conditions, young girls nowadays are particular about things like "three turns and one ring". The old man is not sure, so he decided to ask.

Li Tao forced himself to remain calm and walked into the house with confidence: "I don't want any betrothal gifts, and I don't have any dowry. My only condition is that I want to bring my niece Li Rongen with me."

Chen Liang has already taken 99 steps. She can no longer deceive herself and must take this last step.

Since she has already lost the bet of marrying Lian Rendong, she might as well take another gamble that Chen Liang is sincere to her. At least this man treats her well now!

Even if there are disagreements in the future and the man is not as nice to her, at least she has enjoyed the moment.

Li Tao, who was carried away by passion, didn't realize that she had grasped the essence of marriage, which was that she needed to act impulsively. She couldn't get married if she was timid and thought carefully.

Knowing that the girl was willing, Chen's father breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want his son to become a bandit and forcibly abduct a wife who was unwilling to get married.

If that happens, it will not only cause unrest in the family, but it will also go against the woman's wishes and be illegal!
